just in case you have any personal
1:44
questions so
1:45
um with regards to the how realistically
1:49
your weight loss goes
1:50
there are some things that you need to
1:52
consider before you go into a diet
1:55
so this video today is going to give you
1:57
seven tips that will help you
1:59
choose a diet that is suitable for you
2:01
and for your needs
2:02
so straight into the video what is a
2:05
diet
2:06
a diet is a special cause of folds
2:09
that an individual will restrict
2:11
themselves from
2:12
taking for weight loss or for other
2:16
medical
2:16
reasons okay so the main reasons why
2:20
someone would want to go into a diet
2:22
plan the main reason has often been
2:24
weight loss
2:25
okay so but aside from weight loss there
2:28
are other medical conditions that
2:29
require you to have a specific diet
2:32
for example diabetes ulcers and so on
2:36
and so forth
2:38
so before you go into a diet before you
2:40
decide on
2:41
a diet plan there are some things you
2:45
need to consider before
2:47
you start so number one that
2:50
that plan has to be prescribed by your
2:53
nutritionist
2:54
or your dietitian okay do not start
2:57
dieting without getting a prescription
2:59
from your dietician or nutritionist
3:01
okay that is the first thing you're
3:03
supposed to consider
3:04
don't just wake up one morning read
3:07
something and start doing it okay
3:09
you need to visit your nutritionist or
3:11
dietician so that you can
3:13
identify your nutritional status
3:14
identify your needs
3:16
and then you can come up with an
3:17
appropriate that plan
3:19
for you specifically for you and that
3:22
plan needs to be individualized
3:24
okay that is why you must see a
3:27
nutritionist or adaptation so that she
3:29
or he can help you
3:31
plan your diet well number two
3:34
touch that plan does it capture the
3:36
foods that are available
3:38
for you are they accessible for you
3:41
can you afford those foods are you able
3:44
to cook those food
3:45
that is a very important point to
3:47
consider because when you go into a diet
3:49
plan that is best
3:51
in the uk that is best in the us there
3:53
are certain foods certain ingredients
3:55
that you might not be able to
3:57
access while you're in kenya so when you
3:59
start that
4:01
particular type of bad plan you might
4:04
not be able to continue
4:05
because you may like this you may like
4:07
that and then it will become difficult
4:09
for you
4:10
so before you go into a dive plan
4:12
consider the foods that are in that diet
4:14
are they accessible are they available
4:17
are they affordable can you cook them
4:19
that is very important point to consider
4:22
number three are you ready to commit
4:24
okay there will be no reason at all
4:28
for you to start a bad plan for you to
4:30
start dieting
4:31
when you're not going to commit to it
4:34
that is a waste of time
4:35
when you start something that you're
4:37
eventually going to stop
4:39
doesn't make sense so when you start at
4:42
that plan
4:42
make sure you're ready to commit this is
4:44
something that you're going to do on a
4:46
daily
4:47
basis okay that is if you want to have
4:50
results you must be ready to commit
4:53
number four is it different from your
4:56
normal diet
4:57
okay when you want to start dieting when
5:00
you visit your nutritionist you want at
5:02
that point that means
5:03
your normal diet is already not working
5:06
the way you want it
5:07
for example when you want to start a
5:08
weight loss journey
5:10
there are some things you need to adjust
5:12
from your normal dad
5:13
that is now making a new dead plan for
5:15
you so at that plan that you want to
5:18
start
5:18
must or has to be different from your
5:21
normal diet
5:21
if you want to achieve some results okay
5:24
and it doesn't have to be extremely
5:27
different from your normal diet but at
5:29
least
5:29
it should be different okay so supposing
5:32
you're eating um
5:33
supposing you are having a bottle of
5:36
soda for every meal that you have
5:38
when you decide to have a diet plan that
5:40
is geared towards you
5:41
losing some weight you will need to
5:43
adjust one
5:44
or two habits that you used to do
5:48
and you want to change into something
5:50
better so for instance this thing will
5:52
eliminate the soda
5:53
in your diet and when you replace it
5:55
with something else
5:56
that is a change so a dutch plant that
5:58
you want to start
6:00
must be different from your normal
6:03
diet number five does it contain your
6:06
favorite foods
6:07
okay each one of us has a favorite food
6:10
there's that certain food that you feel
6:12
like you just have to eat it
6:14
so when you start a diet plan and it
6:16
doesn't contain your favorite foods
6:18
what is going to happen okay
6:22
there are higher chances of you not
6:24
continuing with your diet plan because
6:26
you will start having cravings for your
6:28
favorite food
6:29
so a good dad plant should contain small
6:32
portions of your favorite foods okay
6:36
uh i always advise people not to
6:38
eliminate something completely
6:40
sometimes it's almost impossible to
6:42
eliminate something completely
6:44
so have small portions of your favorite
6:46
foods in that diet plan that will help
6:48
you
6:49
to continue without that plan without
6:51
major problems or without stopping it
6:53
completely number six is there room
6:56
for gradual changes okay
7:00
supposing you visit me today and create
7:03
that one for you
7:04
something that is permanent something
7:06
that you are supposed to start tomorrow
7:09
and on the three of following that that
7:11
plan you feel like you start you feel
7:13
like there's something
7:14
that is not working right for you so do
7:17
you see that that they're going
7:19
there's going to be a problem there so
7:20
at good that plan
7:22
should be adjustable you should be able
7:25
to adjust it
7:26
okay flexible so that if this is not
7:29
working okay for you
7:30
you can be able to shift into something
7:32
else that is still
7:34
going to make you achieve the results
7:35
that you desire okay
7:37
don't make permanent uh diet plans and
7:40
that plan should be flexible enough
7:42
and it's not all times that you can be
7:45
able to access a certain food
7:47
a certain ingredient or a certain
7:50
aspect in your diet plan so make sure
7:53
your diet plan
7:54
make sure that that plant is flexible
7:56
enough
7:57
to capture your needs in case you need
7:59
to make some changes it should be able
8:01
to capture those changes and finally
8:05
does it fit in your eating style
8:09
okay in the eating style i'm thinking of
8:11
a person who
8:12
travels a lot okay
8:15
in this situation you cannot come up
8:17
with that thing that involves a lot of
8:20
cooking because you're always traveling
8:22
so you should
8:23
make sure that that plan considers your
8:26
eating style
8:27
if you're always carrying packed foods
8:30
if you're always
8:31
at home those are two different
8:33
scenarios
8:34
you are that plan is supposed to
8:36
consider your eating style
8:38
because if that that plan involves a lot
8:41
of cooking
8:42
involves a lot of new recipes a lot of
8:45
you know uh being at home to be
8:48
cooking and everything and yes you're
8:50
always traveling
8:51
there's going to be a problem okay
8:55
and i think it's important to know that
8:57
being on a diet
8:59
should not feel like you are in prison
9:01
okay
9:02
being on a diet should not make you feel
9:05
like you are
9:06
in prison okay most people when they
9:08
hear you you are all dead
9:10
they they feel pity for you and
9:14
you know being on that is not supposed
9:15
to be that hard so make sure that that
9:17
plan is flexible enough
9:19
captures your favorite foods at least
9:22
those foods are available to you
9:24
and you can cook them okay it's easy
9:27
it's not permanent it's something that
9:28
you can progress with
9:30
because behavior change is a process
9:32
i'll always
9:34
keep saying that over and over again
9:36
behavior change
9:37
is a process okay and like i've said i'm
9:39
going to leave my contact details
9:42
on the description box below because i
9:44
believe there is someone who
9:46
want to see me personally and if you
9:48
visit me as a nutritionist
9:50
you have to come with a three uh
9:53
three-day
9:54
food diet okay like the foods you've
9:56
eaten for the past three days
9:58
when i look at that i'm able to know
10:00
what are your favorite foods what do you
10:02
often cook how do you cook it
10:04
and we can make changes we can adjust it
10:06
a little bit
10:07
to suit your needs whether you're
10:08
diabetic whether you have a tension
10:10
whether you just want to lose some
10:11
weight whether you want to gain some
10:13
weight
10:14
then i can help you with that another
10:17
important thing to consider is
10:18
never ever use another individual's
10:22
diet plan for you because
10:25
your goals are different your needs are
10:27
different
10:28
so that is why a death plan has to be
10:31
customized
10:32
has to be individualized for you okay
10:36
i hope this video has been helpful watch

10:42
