Before beginning you must appreciate this fundamental idea about changing yourself: simply do a tiny bit of change at a time, but do it persistently until it becomes a habit. Then introduce the next change. Remember the key phrase 'baby steps' because that is what you must do: take tiny steps everyday toward your objectives. Take into account the power of braces from an orthodontist. Braces merely exert a small amount of pressure on the teeth and gums, nevertheless they exert that pressure continually until the wanted change has occured. Employ this principle to your benefit.

Rule One: Change What You Eat And Drink

It's really true that you are what you eat (and drink). If you are not happy with your current fitness and body shape, then it's time to change what you consume. Obesity levels across the United States have increased every year in every state for as long as these measurements have been taken. Part of the reason for this is because through the generations Americans have changed what they eat and drink - for the worse. You can use this concept and turn it around for your good.

Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. Do it every day. Start small and grow it over time. Set a goal to eventually eat at least 5 servings of fresh fruits and vegetables every day. Replace one 'junk' food item with a healthy fruit or vegetable of your choice until you are eating 'five a day.'

Drink more water. Your body requires water for basic functioning - it doesn't require coffee or soda. Plan to reduce your intake of soda and coffee and replace with more clean water. This may seem difficult at first, but if you will stick with it, you will 'cross over' and realize just how refreshing clean water can be to both your body and your soul.

This is a really simple concept, right? Then what is stopping you from doing it? Start today at your very next meal.

Rule Two: Change When You Eat And Drink

Just as important as changing what you eat and drink, you must also change when you eat and drink. The body is designed to adapt to changes, but you won't always like what it does to adapt. Your body was not designed to eat 3 big meals spaced out over a 12 hour period - as most people do. Instead your body was designed to eat several smaller snack-like meals all day long. Change from 3 meals to 6 smaller, snack-like meals. Start with simply moving to 4 smaller-than-normal meals, then gradually switch to 5 even smaller meals, until you are comfortable eating 6 small meals which are more like snacks.

This works because it reduces the chance for your body to create a blood sugar spike and it doesn't trigger your body's fat-storing response mechanism. When you eat a big meal and then 'starve' yourself for the next several hours, your body responds by attempting to store fat. To stop that, simply eat many smaller snack-like meals throughout the day.

Also, quit doing late night snacking. If you absolutely must snack late at night, eat a fresh fruit or vegetable instead of cake and ice cream!

Rule Three: Change Your Activity Level

The more physically active you are, the more your body will burn calories to supply you with the energy you need. Simply add moderate physical activity into your daily routine. Take more stairs. Park farther away in the parking lot so you have to walk further. Go for an early morning walk, or a late evening walk - or both! Take brief exercise breaks during the day. Add an aerobics class too, or how about a dance class or martial arts training? One of the most powerful methods to quickly change the way your body looks is to take up weight training (or strength training). You do not need to become a body builder - but the simple act of strengthening your muscles will cause your body to burn up all sorts of fat - even while you sleep! Aerobics activity can't to that - only strength training can. No matter what type of activity you choose, just get started on it today and stick with it until you see and feel the desired results!

Those are the three basic scientific principles behind successfully losing weight, getting rid of body fat and generally increasing your fitness levels. That's it! Nothing complicated. No extra powders or meal bars to buy. No fancy equipment or books or DVDs. Just the application of simple scientific principles. Do a little every day and before you know it - you've obtained your goals! If you get discouraged, remember the analogy about braces - and stick with your plan! Don't give up - you can do it!
