Are you
looking for a diet plan that helps you lose weight, then you should look for
the help of a diet buddy. A diet buddy is a friend or co worker who your
partner with to help each other lose weight. Many fitness experts know that if
you have to account for your actions to a friend and yourself you are much more
likely to stick to it and successfully lose weight.
Picking
a diet buddy isn’t hard but it isn’t easy either. You need to find someone who
you can trust and who is honest with you. You need someone who will tell you
the two big Macs you had for dinner last night wasn’t a good choice, but won’t
tear you apart either. You should find a person who has similar weight loss
goals. If you want to lose 15 pounds and your buddy wants to lose 65 you aren’t
that compatible.
You should avoid choosing someone you live with if possible.
The constant interaction and monitoring will make you feel like your every move
is being watched. Instead try to choose a co worker or close friend to help you
out.
You
should also choose a diet buddy who you will see regularly. A really great
strategy is to meet at the gym every morning and go for breakfast afterward.
This way you can compare and talk about what’s going on and how you are
progressing. If breakfast doesn’t work lunch is another good alternative. If
you have a regular lunch date it will be much easier for you to say no when the
office goes for Buffalo wings and nachos every Friday.
You and
your diet buddy should set goals and rewards for each other. When you hit a
weight goal go out and celebrate. Celebrate by shopping for a new outfit that
shows off your weight loss, not by going out for a cheeseburger and milkshake.
Remember you and your buddy are working together to help each other reach your
goals you aren’t competing with each other. If you can shop for a new dress
size or bathing suit don’t be smug about it to your diet buddy. Be supportive
and help them, realize everyone’s body is different and some people take longer
to lose weight.
