The Diet Band Wagon

Don't Fall Off!

The greater public is being challenged to lose weight in the four directions of the wind these days -

East: cut sugar & fat in the school system! West: try a kicky-named fad diet plan that makes Dieting a Beach! South: kick one can per day of soda and lose 15 pounds per year! North: substitute dinner with a bowl of cereal to drop pounds!

America is on the move, baby - and some say it's in the right direction, a road that leads to a thinner You, filled with Honey Ponds & Flitter Trees.

Although no one likes to be prodded or forced into doing anything - including getting a Body of Brawn, awareness of measures we can take to achieve better health, that in turn deliver a longer life span is a great thing.

And although we've known about most of these Diet Solutions & Weight Loss Tips for years, it appears that rather than becoming a thinner nation, we keep growing in all the wrong directions.

On that note, if you find that you're just not in the mood to diet, and you're not in the mood to try any of the savvy weight loss tips circling the Diet Village, then rather than concentrating on dieting, the following suggestions just might be your Cup of Diet Tea:

Take up an activity that you find interesting whether it's flying a kite, joining a softball team, a quilting bee, visiting a skating rink or hiking the wild.  If your current daily diet remains the same, the injection of activity will trigger weight loss and a stronger, firmer bod.

Rather than worrying about taking that ONE drink out of your daily diet, try making clear water your sole beverage choice for a week.  At the end of the week, see if you dropped pounds.

Rather than relying on the school to serve your child a healthy meal, pack one instead.  

Make eating time at home be confined to one room - the dining area or kitchen.  This helps deal with the 'watching tv/gotta snack' syndrome.  And for snack times, leave out a healthy bowl of fresh fruit.
