Creating good habits will be essential to your success when starting a fitness program. Everybody has unhealthy habits, its important to understand what they are and work to correct them. Whether its eating sweets before bed, skipping breakfast, or munching on chips all day. Its important to find a healthy replacement for your bad habit. The key factors to living a healthy lifestyle or changing your bodies composition are exercise, nutrition, rest, and stress. You cannot control your stress levels, but if your exercising regularly, eating well, and getting plenty of sleep it will definitely reduce your stress levels. A good habit to form is planning your meals out. If you know what your having to eat throughout the day your less likely to snack on unhealthy foods. Never skip breakfast! this is a very important meal that will help provide you energy for the rest of the day. People who skip breakfast tend to overeat later in the day which can limit progress and lead to weight gain.


 Drink lots of water. Avoid sugary drinks and wasted calories with no nutritional benefit. Before you put anything into your body, ask yourself "is this going to help me reach my goal or hurt me." One of the biggest mistakes people make when trying to lose fat is eating junk food before bed. Even if you eat well throughout the day and exercise, eating a sugary snack before bed will cause your body to store fat while you sleep. Bring healthy snacks to work with you or while your on the go. Instead of eating chips or a shake try a piece of fruit or some almonds. These foods are nutrient dense and help provide satiety to keep you from snacking until your next meal. Creating these good habits now, will be a catalyst to your success in the future. The goal is to be healthy, feel good, and look good. It all starts with your habits.
