As we go on in our fast metabolism diet journey,
we already
noticed the changes on our body. We're losing weight, we're feeling good, we're
sleeping better, and we've overcome the horrible symptoms of sugar and caffeine
withdrawal. We're slowly adapting our body into a healthy lifestyle. But
sometimes, no matter how dedicated we are, there is always that little devil
that provokes us in going off track. Temptations are everywhere, ever
experienced drooling over a delicious hamburger and a cool-drenching soft
drinks? That's called self-sabotage.
The little devil is telling us that "It's okay to eat
the food. Go ahead. It's delicious, I am craving for it." For those who
are struggling against this nasty little evil, your angel will be on the
rescue. Here are the tips you can use to deal and save yourself from
self-sabotage.
1. Change up your
start day
Most festivities happened in weekends and this is where
temptation is in a high risk. With your colleagues and friends visiting in your
home, or if you decided to have an outdoor activities with your friends it is
hard to avoid these delicious foods. And with Phase 3 hitting on weekends, we
can easily be overwhelmed and tend to cheat, because of the free choices of
foods and feast we eat during this phase. Instead of starting Phase 1 on Monday
and have Phase 3 on weekends, you can change your week map to control yourself
and get on track. Start Phase 1 on Wednesday instead. This way your Phase 2
will fall on weekends. Your food choices in this phase are more narrow than the
free and heaven food choices we got on Phase 3.
2. Jot down notes and
plan ahead
It's important to write your meal map in advance in the
upcoming week. It will keep you on track on what your meal map for the upcoming
week and your brain will be expecting these meals for you to eat. You can also
write down how you felt every time you eat. This will help you track when do
you actually feel tempted to get off track. Let's take for example, most fast
metabolism dieters often despise Phase 2, in this phase do you actually had the
highest tendency to give in temptation? If yes, you can change your recipe you
had for this phase the next week and see if there's an improvement or the
craving still persists.
3. Take it 10 days at
a time
If you find yourself consistently getting off track, maybe
the four week program is too long for you. Try to have the diet in a 10-day
time frame. Have 3 days of Phase 3 as your starting cycle, 2 days of Phase 1
and 2, then go back to the remaining three days to Phase 3. After this give
yourself a four day off. But it doesn't mean that during the four day off, you
will go completely off track. You can still use the tools to keep your metabolism
on track. You're just allowing your body to have some freedom from all the
Phases. Since you're taking long days in Phase 3, your body should be satisfied
and happy with the food your eating. After the four day off, head back into
another 10 days again, starting with Phase 3.
4. Have someone to
support you
Adjusting in healthy lifestyle and healing our metabolism is
really hard especially if we became accustomed into indulging ourselves with
poor, unhealthy lifestyle. You can find a buddy, or join our other fast
metabolism dieters for extra help. Do the fast metabolism diet with them, in
this way you can monitor each other and give advice to keep on track.
You can also mix up your food on the diet and mix up your
schedule to see what's the best for you. It can keep your mind active and
interested for the new adventures you go on in the fast metabolism diet
program, and most of all, keep your metabolism on fire.
