\"dieting,Let\u2019s be honest.\u00a0 Exercise is not fun and dieting is terrible.\u00a0 Of course I love eating fresh veggies\u2026they are delicious sliced and piled on top of a big juicy cheeseburger.\u00a0 There are a variety of diet pills on the market such as Xenical<\/a> that can give you a major boost in the right direction by curbing your appetite, but when it comes down to it you really have to watch what you eat and exercise.<\/p>\n

Dieting is difficult; there is no avoiding that fact.\u00a0 However it is a journey that you don\u2019t have to travel alone.\u00a0 Just like a long road trip down the highway, it is much better if you have someone along to share in the experience.<\/p>\n

To help you stick to your diet, consider enlisting the help of a good friend.\u00a0 Everyone benefits from a healthy diet and exercise, so it shouldn\u2019t be hard to find a willing participant.\u00a0 Try to find someone with similar weight loss and fitness goals though.\u00a0 It can become discouraging if you are beginning to jog around the block and your fitness buddy is training to run marathons.\u00a0 Also, the super skinny girl who drinks a veggie shake for lunch is not going to provide the empathy and motivation to help you curb your current eating habits.\"dieting,<\/p>\n

Most people put all their effort into finding the right diet or exercise program but don’t put any energy into creating a support and accountability system, and too often, that’s where the devil lies,” says Adam Shafran, DC, an exercise physiologist and chiropractor who is the author of You Can’t Lose Weight Alone: The Partner Power Weight Loss Program.<\/p>\n

Social support is a very positive factor in dealing with weight loss.\u00a0Often times a lack of support and motivation are the pitfall that causes a diet to fail.\u00a0Implementing a diet buddy into your plans can give you added support and motivation to avoid hitting a \u201cwall\u201d in your fitness plan.<\/p>\n

When choosing a diet partner though, it\u2019s not always a good idea to pick the same type of person that you would normally choose for an intimate relationship.\u00a0 You may not want to date someone who would tell you to \u201cdrop the ice cream,\u201d but this is exactly what you need in a diet buddy.\u00a0 Accountability for your behaviors is what makes this buddy system work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
