YOUR FAST METABOLISM DIET JOURNEY

As you embark your wonderful journey towards living a healthier lifestyle, we all know that sooner or later, we will encounter difficulties and challenges along the way. Hectic schedules and appointments, personal and professional commitments, personal problems, peer pressures, these are just some of the challenges we’ll be facing that will test out our patience and perseverance. And because we don’t want you to get discouraged and fall off from the weight loss wagon, we are on the rescue to help you in overcoming this hurdle. We want you to be successful! And so, we compiled these friendly reminders to help you in getting back on track on the diet and continue your journey.

Don’t Push Yourself too Hard

This is the most important thing that you always need to remember. You need to recognize that as a human being, you are bound to make some mistakes. The most important thing is to acknowledge your own mistake and know how to fix them.

So if you make a mistake, you cheated, you slipped off, just forget about it and move on. Don’t panic! That’s fine! You just need to move forward and get back on track to your next meal, snack, or phase. Don’t let yourself get stuck up in depression.

Set Short, Achievable Goals

Remind yourself that losing weight cannot be done in just one go. Remember that your weight gain is a product of years of unhealthy indulgence, unhealthy lifestyle and lack of exercise, and losing all those weight you’ve gained will also take time. It needs commitment, patience, and determination to succeed. Losing weight and living a healthy lifestyle needs long-term, even lifetime commitment.

So if your goal is to lose 100 pounds in just a month, I tell you that it’s impossible. It just won’t do. You will only pressure yourself in achieving it, and in turn wreak havoc your diet in the process. Instead, learn how to take baby steps. Set smaller, achievable steps and milestones. You can have 20 pounds set as an initial weight loss goal for a month, or about 5 pounds weight loss goal in a week. That way you won’t feel pressured in losing weight and concentrate on achieving it. In the long run, you won’t noticed you already reached your overall weight loss goal! Because you focus on relishing the moment and enjoying the foods you eat.

Understand your Craving

When you were tempted to eat non-phase-specific foods, understand the reason why you did it. Are you feeling frustrated, angry, or tired that triggered your cravings? Understand why you’re bound to crave. Here are the two interesting topics you can read to go more in depth about craving: physical craving and emotional eating.

Start Over Again

If you really felt guilty in continuing up your fast metabolism diet schedule, then you always have the option to restart. Starting over again can help you identify your mistakes back, why you did it, and provide some solution so that you won’t commit these mistakes again the next time you reboot.

Think of Past Success Stories

Read other fast metabolism dieters’ success stories and be inspired from them. Know the obstacles they faced and learn how they overcome it to complete their 28-day journey. From their stories, you can gather strength, tips, courage and inspiration to continue and complete your journey. Who knows, maybe your story will be featured next in the fast metabolism diet success stories. Not only you will be able to complete your journey, but you will also serve as a model and inspiration to other fast metabolism dieters who want to be successful in completing their journey.

Enjoy and love what you’re doing

Last but not the least, relieve yourself from stress and enjoy every moment of the 28-day program. You love your body, that’s why you’re doing this to give your body the love, care, and attention it deserved. If you enjoy and love what you’re doing, you won’t get tired of doing it and there’s nothing that can stop you from achieving your goal.
