Renew Your Weight Loss Goals

As the summer fashions make their way to storefront windows, do you stop and pinch your waist and question what happened to your New Year’s resolution to lose weight?  

It’s time to start fresh and renew your weight loss goals. Here are some tips for the spring to help you get back on track to achieve your True Weight!

• 1. You started your food diary back in January but haven’t recorded anything in weeks. What happened? Get out that pen and paper and start journaling and planning your meals – this will help you stay focused and motivated.

• 2. Spring clean your kitchen!  Clean out your fridge and cupboards of all the foods you should avoid. Freshen up your diet – with new found space in your refrigerator, start eating a diverse variety of Dukan friendly proteins and vegetables.

• 3. Say "hello again" to Mother Nature: As temperatures warm up across the country, take the time to enjoy the scenery. Jogging, power-walking and cycling are great cardio exercises and good ways to begin getting your body in shape for the summer. Give yourself an excuse to get outside and exercise – it could be as simple as biking to the neighborhood store for a few small items or jogging in the nearby park while your children are at sports practice. Commit to doing some kind of physical activity each day to help break through plateaus.

• 4. Recharge with spring vegetables such as asparagus, Mache lettuce, tomatoes, broccoli and cauliflower.

• 5. Ease stress with a relaxing bath.  Adding Epsom salts to your bath can help distress and detoxify your body – the magnesium in the Epsom salt will help relax your muscle and sooth any achy joints.

• 6. Iron is great for your skin – it ensures healthy, well-oxygenated blood. Without enough oxygen, skin looks dull and is slower to rejuvenate new cells. Include different cuts of lean red meat and seafood to your diet to get the iron you need.
