A simple rule that made me lose 5 pounds in a month
I vowed to start taking better care of my health last November. I’m not obese, fat, portly, flabby, or gross by any stretch of the imagination, but I wasn’t living a lifestyle that made me feel healthy.
I started a real exercise regimen in December, but prior to that I made a simple dietary rule for myself. This rule on its own was responsible for my losing 5lbs in a month. It’s not super impressive, but it was a health change that I made without altering my lifestyle or my busy schedule.
The rule: When you are thirsty drink water, and only drink something else when you aren’t thirsty.
It’s that simple. When you crave a soda, have one. But, don’t have one just because you are thirsty.
