You can choose to follow our plans, design your own or incorporate another plan that you have found online.  First off, we should state that we specifically don't like following restrictive eating plans. Some people, for example, like to use apps, like My Fitness Pal, to keep track of their calories. Other people like to eat 6 small meals a day and some follow a  specific nutrition program.  We are not against any of these ideas, however, we do better with a simple check list that we follow to keep us on the right track.  

Guidelines to follow in designing your own 5 point check list:

Daily goals:  We also recommend including things other than diet and exercise as a part of our 5 point plan.  Because we aren't just taking control of our health, we want to be successful in all aspects of our lives.

Free calories:  We like to include these because you should be realistic, you will have a treat from time to time, and that is okay as long as you are in control.


Be realistic: If your checklist can't be incorporated into your everyday life, then change it!  If you want to live a fit life and stay fit, you have to have a plan that supports your new lifestyle.  A big mistake we have made and many others make, is they start diet plans that are impossible to stick with for the rest of their lives. 

Remember, if you have a bad day, don't just give up.  This isn't an all or nothing program. We truly want it to be your new way of life.

Stay consistent!  Consistency is the only way you will be able to lose or maintain a balanced weight.  Think of your weight loss from day to day.  Don't be impatient with your results.  Remember, if you are consistent with your diet and workouts, you will eventually hit your goals!
