An "all or nothing" approach will only lead you to failure. Learn to reward your efforts and evaluate them objectively and honestly.

Advice
- Have fun. Don't stress yourself out too much. Have fun! Stress can stiffen your muscles and make you miserable. If you worry too much about your health you will make it worse so relax every now and then.
- Low-fat foods are helpful. Unless the fat is polyunsaturated, mono-unsaturated, or omega 3. These types of fat are actually useful. Some of the bad fats are saturated fats. These fats will raise your levels of LDL cholesterol, the bad cholesterol. Good fats lower your LDL cholesterol levels and raise HDL cholesterol levels which is the good cholesterol.
- Varied fruit. Fruits and vegetables have a lot of vitamins and minerals that you need. But you will also need other vitamins and minerals besides those from fruits and vegetables. For example, you don't get a lot of protein with fruits and vegetables. Meat, beans, and tofu, on the other hand, are great protein foods. If you can't get vitamins and minerals through food, you can always take multivitamins.
- Don't go on a yoyo diet. Diets like this are bad for you and even if they seem to work once the diet is over you will regain weight in a couple of days. Stay away from smoothies and shakes, soup diets or diets in which you have to eat or drink the contents of "diet" packets.
- Exercise is the key to a healthy lifestyle. Go to the gym every now and then, or if you can, every day. Take a walk around the block. Walking your dog can also be good for you. If you do it regularly, even an hour can be fine as long as it is a moderately demanding activity. Regular exercise every day helps to strengthen your immune system and helps prevent diseases related to a sedentary lifestyle such as heart disease, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and obesity. It also helps improve mental health and prevent depression.
- Don't abuse your body. Don't exercise too much as your body may not function properly when you exercise. Allow a couple of days between workouts to regain energy.
- Healthy food is essential. You are what you eat, so if you eat healthy you are a healthy person. If you are starting to lead a healthier lifestyle, you may not be able to recognize healthy food.
- Little sugar. As with fats, there are good sugars and bad sugars. Sucrose is a negative sugar, glucose is positive. Both are sugars and therefore are both classified as such on the labels. For example, raisins that have no added sugars still have a lot of sugar of the positive type, glucose.
- Check your weight. Being too plump or too thin is not advisable. Your doctor can tell you if you are overweight or underweight. Exercise and diet can help you change your weight, try to remember that.
- I commit. It is not easy to go from completely sedentary people to a healthy lifestyle. Don't be discouraged if you indulge in some ice cream or burgers. As long as you don't switch to a completely unhealthy diet it won't hurt you.
