Tip of the week
Whether you lose weight fast or slowly, whether it's difficult
or easy, the rules are the same for all of us. Healthy diet plans
should be combined with an active lifestyle so that when weight
falls off, it stays off.
Living and Eating With Others
If you are living on your own, it's relatively easy to adjust
your lifestyle to Celebrity Slim. However many of us live with
others, either in a family, a relationship, or just sharing
accommodation. In these situations it's more difficult to fit your
diet in around the eating habits of your co-habitants.
Here are some practical tips you can adopt to make
Celebrity Slim fit more easily with the household:
- Explain Celebrity Slim to your family, partner or housemates.
Once people know what you are trying to achieve and what sort of
food you can and can't eat, you will usually find everyone is quite
supportive.
- Any program is often more successful if your partner, friend,
relative etc. are eating in a similar way. You can support each
other, bounce ideas off each other and in some cases cook for each
other. So if your partner, friend, relative etc. would like to
manage their weight, introduce them to this program and start it
together. It makes the whole process much easier if you can share
the experience.
- Try to fit the program to what the rest of the household is
eating - with appropriate modifications. For example, if you or a
member of the household is cooking up a big pot of bolognese sauce
and pasta, pass on the pasta and instead use some stir-fried
vegetables (snow peas, diced carrots, shredded cabbage, broccoli,
cauliflower, bean shoots), microwave or steam and substitute these
for pasta.
- If you are cooking a meat dish for the rest of your family,
prepare potato, pasta or rice for your other family members and you
simply substitute it with allowable veggies.
- If the food being prepared for the rest of the household will
not fit into your diet plans, have some easy to prepare fall-back
menu choices. For example, eggs and bacon are a great standby and
you can do a lot with an oven, a can of tuna, some vegetables and
cheese.
- Buy food specifically for the Celebrity Slim Program, put it
aside from other foods and explain to the household that it is for
your special eating plan. Because most of the food you are allowed
to eat on this program is fresh, healthy and tasty, others may be
tempted to sample your pantry.
- Keep plenty of allowed snacks around. You should keep a
selection of cheeses, nuts, cold meats, sliced up vegies, and low
carb dips in the fridge.
