Healthy living Answer to the question: What is the biggest diet mistake? The number one mistake is to make unfavorable comparisons with others. Everyone is different, therefore it is important to accept yourself as who you are and to accept the differences in others. When it comes to dieting and weight control it is just as important to set goals which are personal to your build. Everyone has a different metabolism system so you need to listen to your own body and not the others. When it comes to focusing on your own personal circumstances it is equally applicable to other areas of your life such as finances and career choices, therefore, make choices based on what is best for you and not based on the opinions of others. Answer to the question “Why should you only change your diet one food at a time. “You should only introduce one new food to your diet at a time say, one new food per week and the reason being that if a certain food is causing you problems then you will know who the c...

Finding your why A why is what gives us motivation to do something. It is the fuel which energizes us and gives us the enthusiasm to lift us over the obstacles which stand in our way. Having a "Why" gets us out of bed in the morning. It is living your life with a purpose. How do I find my "Why"? Some people find it by a life-changing event such as a tragedy or other event which affects someone in their own family. In the 1970s a solo mother began campaigning for tighter restrictions and safer use of fireworks after an incident where someone was hurt by fireworks. She became known as the fireworks lady. She traveled around the country giving talks in schools for the safe use of fireworks. The laws governing the sale and use of fireworks in New Zealand are regarded as the most stringent in the world. During the early 2000s a university student in New Zealand was murdered by her professor whom she was in a relationship with. The student's name was Sophie Elliot. He...

It is important to nurture the right relationships in your life but that does not mean to give others the cold shoulder but rather to make friends with people who are on the same journey as you are. It helps to encourage one another. The people you call your friends set the standards for your life. As weight-loss is concerned, if your friends have an unhealthy lifestyle then it will certainly undermine your efforts in your goal of living a more healthy lifestyle. Where can I find people to connect with? The obvious place to look is in your local town. There may be groups you can join. Your local newspaper or library message board may have something posted. These can be starting points for finding new friends. Another is to get involved in sport. Taking part in fun runs may not be your cup of tea but there are people of all abilities taking part in these fun runs and not just runners. There are walkers as well. If you can walk 5 kilometers then why not participate in these events. Y...

Introduction The weight loss industry is worth an enormous amount of money with women being the target of advertisers. It is important for those intending to go on a diet to question their motives and ask themselves, "Am I doing it for myself or am I being fat-shamed into doing it?" It is important to just be happy being you before you consider changing anything in your life because unless you are content there will always be something that you need in order to be happy. Just be yourself The human race is like licorice all sorts, you never know what you are going to get. There are as many personalities as there are people and there are a variety of shapes and sizes. It is therefore to accept who you are but at the same time change what you can change. You may have no control over your build but you can choose what you put in your mouth. You may have no control of what talents you have been given but you have control over what you do with what you have been given. The world p...

I NTRODUCTION The weight-loss industry is a huge one worth billions of dollars annually but there is more to your well-being than what you eat. Your own self-esteem can be more of a factor than you may think. If you can work on this then dieting and weight-loss will become easier. Self esteem and Weight loss Did you know your own self esteem may be a contributing factor to some of your problems? Let's look at weight loss for example.  We all know that the weight loss industry is a multi billion dollar per annum business and who do the advertisers target? Women! In order to encourage women to join their weight loss plan they highlight their insecurities in their advertising copy. "What insecurities are these," you may be asking. You may have heard of the term "fat shaming." Women are shamed into feeling guilty even if they are just a few kilos heavier than last year. Is it any wonder that so many of them suffer from insecurities. My advice to women is this: 1 St...
