GOLDEN RULES

Significant rules and... one, two, three... LET'S START! Stick to them to see your life changing. Look at their full description below... 

1. Remember: YOU ARE NOT ON DIET. Write off the word „diet” of your vocabulary. Why it is so important? Simple answer. People define this word as something that involves a lot of sacrifice, effort and pain. Who likes such feeling? Nobody... So you see, unconsciously but that's true that the word diet provokes negative thoughts in your mind. You don't even realize that. Do yourself a favor and don't say or even think you're on diet. If you do, just jump on the skipping rope in case to forget about this terrible and unfair word.
2. STOP TELLING THE WORLD THAT YOU ARE TRYING TO LOOSE WEIGHT, CHANGE EATING HABITS. Work hard in silence and let your success make the tremendous noise.
3. Don't provide a „notebook” or diary. You are not on a diet, right? It's just your new eating habits. 
4. Find your own way of motivation. It may be „taking a photo of your stomach” or trying on the clothes you want to look better in (jeans blouse, pants, strings whatever that is important for you).
5. Weight yourself and look how lighter you become every time you stand on the scale. (Watch out. Don't panic if you are training, and you see more pounds. It is probably the weight of your muscles. Take a day off, stop working out for a day, go on the scale and voila!
6. STOP COUNTING DAYS! Some psychologists claim that when you make some kind of calendar you become more motivated. You know what? I never do. I become even more hungry and lazy and as the result I put on weight and get depressed (coz I know I didn't manage to achieve the goal). It's not a diet, it's your new life so what for you have to count days? 
7. Do NOT DRINK CALORIES! - it's commonly known that you should avoid adding sugar to tea or be as far away as possible from coke and other sparkling drinks. However, you also need to remember that a cup of milk (which is supposed to be healthy...) also contains (about 150) calories and yes, such calories also count...
8. Let the training be your habit!. Just remember, every single day do 30 minutes (yes, it is minimum, ofc you can do more if you wish) of ANY psychical activity. It can be a routine from the net, cycling, fast walk, or just stretching. No matter what. Just thirty minutes. You don't have to follow any schedule. Take your time, you will see that after 2 or 3 weeks, you will be addicted to half an hour physical activity.
9. Treat a SNACK AS A MEAL! This is one of the key rules of such loosing way... When you actually eat something unhealthy (cookie or plenty of cookies, you drink coke or whatever) don't forget that they also contain calories... Treat them as a dinner or supper, and of course wait 3 hours until next meal ← i bet that in time you will not eat them. Why? Coz you will be hungry. You don't wanna feel hunger so instead of a muffin you will choose a yogurt (great source of protein).
10. Don't drink after a meal. Don't interrupt while your liver is trying to digest. Wait 30 – 40 minutes and enjoy the glass of water or tea. 
11. Always choose the activity which requires MORE EFFORT. (elevator -> stairs). This habit will help you also with struggling with everyday house chords. You are tired but you know you should do ironing. What do you do? Jump outta the bed and start ironing. During tidying, when you have to put some things in the right place, put them one by one; why? You will do more movement.
12. EAT BREAKFAST. - even small one, but never forget about it. It can be just a slice of bread with some ham, but remember! In the time of an hour after you wake up you need to eat a meal. You can skip supper but breakfast never.
13. Avoid public popular gyms... Sounds weird? Well, as you probably noticed ''healthy lifestyle” became popular. Be aware that majority of people go to the gym just because they follow their friends or they want to be modern. Gym is okay, but when you go there alone and focus on your work. I never go to the gym. It's a waste of money and.. time...
14. Thank for everyday. Thankfulness is one of the best things in our world. Don not forget about it...
