Turning bad eating habits into healthy eating habits is a great way to improve your fitness as well as lose stubborn weight permanently.
As many would agree this is easier said than done.
There are so many claimed guru's that claim they know the secret to losing weight fast or how you could lose weight permanently.
I must point out that although some of these claims maybe true, your main priority should be losing weight healthily, not necessarily losing weight fast.
If your goal is to lose weight for the long term then there is no easy quick path.
Consistency, hard work and discipline will prevail over quick fad diets.
Below I have listed some tips to help you lose weight consistently and most importantly healthily.

1. Consume moderate amounts of food, and do not overheat.
   You will find that if you consume food fast you will usually take more in as your body isn't given time to let you know you actually are full.
   On most products there is labelled a suggested proportion amount.
   Stick to this.
   
2. Make sure to take in 3 meals a day.
   People looking to lose weight think that eating less will lose weight for them.
   Yes this is true, but your body will get used to this pattern in a matter of weeks as well as slow down your metabolism which in many cases leads you to putting on more weight in the long run.
   
3. Always consume the necessary proteins that your body needs.
   You can find these proteins in things such as nuts, seeds and tofu.
   In your local health shop you can purchase protein supplements that can be used in conjunction with your new healthy diet.
   
4. Include servings of fruit, vegetables and grains instead of junk snacks such as chocolate and cakes.
   
5. All foods contain fat, limit your intake of unhealthy fat and increase your intake of healthy fats which can be found in things such as avacado's, nuts and fish.
   Healthy fat is necessary for your body to grow and recover.
   
6. Usually more colourful fruits are high in vitamins and minerals.
   If you find it hard to take your intake of daily fruit, then maybe vitamin supplements maybe more suited for you.
   
7. Sugar effects your blood pressure which leaves you feeling lethargic as well as potentially leading to problems such as diabetes and hypoglycemia.
   
8. Instead of opting for processed fibres such as white bread and rice, consume brown bread and brown rice.
   Fibre is very important in keeping your digestive system healthy and working correctly.
   

Apply these tips into your weight loss program and stay consistent and eventually you will lose weight permanently as well as losing it healthily.
