Sticking to a diet can be challenging for everyone, but it can be especially difficult for busy working moms. A busy lifestyle can make it impossible to go to the gym for daily workouts, prepare meals in advance, or forget to pack lunch for work every day. When you're in a hurry, it can be difficult to stick to your diet when it's so easy to hook something in transit. This is a collection of tips from other busy women and will help you stick to your diet despite all the temptations. Do not try to "save time" by eating on the go or snacking at your desk while you work. No matter how urgent you may be, in my mother's words, take the time to eat like a civilized person. Set the table and put the food on the plate to eat. You eat less and feel full-and you don't eat all day so you don't feel the urge to treat. Cook exactly what you eat. Ignore all housewife articles that suggest "cooking for tomorrow" to save time. Cook once per person for each meal. Avoid the temptation to eat the rest and teach your family a healthy diet. Get up early enough to have breakfast at home. Hurry up in the morning may be attractive for eating in the middle of work or skipping breakfast altogether. I won't do it. On a trip to a vending machine in the morning, or somehow fighting in the morning, you end up eating, eating all the time saved, and eating more calories. Stock up on simple breakfast foods. Fruits, cans of yogurt and slices of toast are the beginning of a healthy and balanced day. For most diets, it is recommended to drink at least 8 glasses of water at least 8 ounces daily. If you feel nauseous when considering drinking half a gallon of water, there are ways to make it more attractive. Stock up on flavored mineral water in the fridge for work and leave an ice-cold one on your desk. Float mint twigs and lemon slices on your home crystal pitcher. There are no extra calories, but what's the difference in appearance and taste? Trying to lose weight on your baby can be frustrating. You want to take it off as soon as possible-but your body may not be supportive. Remember that your body is designed to feed your child up to the first year of life. When you put it on a hunger diet, it's put into survival gear, making it even harder to lose extra weight. Instead of fighting your body's natural tendency to save food for your baby, eat healthy parts to increase your level of activity. Also, if you're breastfeeding, keep in mind that your body needs up to 1000 calories per day.
