The Thin Commandments Diet
Losing weight is as much a mental challenge as it is a physical one.
To keep clients motivated – and to see them through moments of weakness – weight-loss coach and author of The Thin Commandments Diet Stephen Gullo, encourages the recitation of motivational mantras.
Add some of these phrases to your repertoire:
“Thin starts in the supermarket.” You can’t consume what you don’t buy.
“If you fail to plan, you’re planning to fail.” Planning meals and having healthy options on hand – at home, work, and while traveling – is the best way to keep from cheating on your diet.
“Think historically, not just calorically.” If you learn to recognize what compels you to eat, you can adjust your response to the situation.
“The more you say ‘tomorrow,’ the more you’ll weigh tomorrow.” The longer you postpone or cheat on your diet, the harder it will be to get back on track and reach your goal.
“Do you like it enough to wear it?” Being a healthy weight is more gratifying than the fleeting enjoyment of any food. [source: Allure]
