The Federal Association of German Nutritionists and the Association of Dieticians in Essen advise against a diet, if those affected are in a difficult emotional or physical life situation. For slimming, motivation and an iron will are prerequisites for success. Otherwise a failure threatens, so the experts.

A difficult phase of life is not a good time to start a diet. For the loss of body fat mental stress in family or career are not conducive, as the nutrition experts emphasize. Due to external influences, it can happen quickly that the „good intentions fail“. It is advantageous to get active help from family members and friends. These should know about the longer-term diet plan to assist the overweight in losing weight.

Record eating habits
Logging can help to keep track. It can record what was eaten throughout the day. So diet-willing can recognize themselves what dietary habits they have and which they should permanently turn off to excess „Love Handles“ to lose.

Instead of so-called „Wonder diets from colorful magazines“ to set, sufferers should prefer to set smaller goals to slowly approach the desired weight. Instead of high-sugary and fatty foods or drinks are to be replaced by healthy food, so the experts.

Active movement units support weight loss
To support the diet, active exercise is beneficial. The nutrition specialists recommend an endurance training that is continuously operated. At least three times a week swimming, Nordic walking or running can help you lose weight. In order to keep the muscles going, strength training can also be carried out, for example with an elastic therapy band. Here, the dieticians advise to go through the program about five times a week. In daily life even small changes in habits can help. Instead of using the elevator, the stairs to the climb should be taken more often. Because, as an old saying goes: „Every gait makes you slim“.
