or fast food

THE Best DIET 7
 OK, now you’ve got your answers to those questions
in front of you, you can start to unravel them. Your
answers are the most powerful tool you can use to help
you break free from your diet cycle. They are the links
in your diet cycle behavior and they give you the
keys to open the door to healthy eating and achieving
a healthier body. Remember the phrase I mentioned
earlier?

 ‘ If you do what you always do, you ’ ll get
what you always got! ’
 This is your chance to change this around to become:
 ‘ If you change what you always did, you
can get what you always wanted. ’ 

 If you really want to be healthy and get control over your
weight, a diet on its own won ’ t work. It ’ s really important to
be active as well as to use the diet  to help you eat a
balanced diet.
 But don ’ t worry, I ’ m not expecting you to leap around
in an aerobics class seven days a week in order to get fit.
Doing simple things on a regular basis can also be highly
effective, such as taking the stairs instead of the lift at
work, washing the car instead of using the car wash, or
cycling to the supermarket instead of taking the car.
All of these can be great ways to increase your levels of
physical activity without it all seeming too much like hard

work.
