A look back at the 6 week Diet Transformation

The 6 week diet transformation is complete.

Now take some time off and don't think about dieting. Have your eating habits changed? Most likely they have. You may find that your body feels transformed and that you've shed some fat! More importantly, because you have gradually changed your lifestyle, your body is likely to maintain this change, without a lot of effort on your part.

You should now know enough about yourself to tweak the next 6-week plan to suit you. However, keep the cheating days. They are important, and not just because they allow you to have fun. Whenever you are restricting your caloric intake, your metabolism wants to slow down because it thinks that you are starving. By "cheating" a couple of days a week, you actually trick your metabolism to stay higher, so you lose more fat.

I didn't do as well as I'd have liked to have done with the 6 week challenge, but I am proud of myself for trying. I have definatley learned how certain foods make me feel and that I'm much better without them. I do like the cheat days so I don't feel like I'm restricting myself all the time. I will continue to use some of these tips in my daily eating.

I hope you found this information helpful as well.
