Getting in shape is one of the most popular New Year’s resolutions and those who have tried it know how difficult it can be. Luckily, there are a few simple tricks that will help you finally get in the desired shape. Here’s how to make sure this year is the year you finally do it.
Write Everything Down
The human body is one of the most complex systems in the world but trying to lose weight and get in shape comes down to simple math — you need to burn more calories than you intake. To see where you stand now, write down everything you eat for a month. By doing this, you’ll get a realistic picture of the calories you intake on average and you can move on from there.
Start Small
Once you make a decision to change your lifestyle in order to get in shape, you may be tempted to do it all at once. A new diet, new exercise plan, and a whole new way you live will overwhelm you quickly. Give yourself time to develop new habits by starting small and changing one thing at a time.
Drink Water
You probably know how important it is to drink water, but it doesn’t hurt to be reminded of it every now and then. Drinking plenty of water is important for all body functions and it can also prevent mindlessly eating when you’re actually thirsty.
