Develop Skinny Habits

Want to get lean and stay that way?

According to Suzanne Phelan, PhD, an assistant professor of psychiatry and human behavior at Brown University Medical School, men who lose weight successfully and keep it off share these 8 characteristics:

1. They eat an average of 1,850 calories a day, with 27 percent coming from fat.
2. They burn 3,293 calories a week exercising.
3. They watch fewer than 10 hours of TV a week.
4. They weigh themselves daily.
5. They eat the same way on weekends and holidays as they do on weekdays.
6. They eat breakfast every day.
7. They limit diet variety.
8. And they rarely eat fast food.

Why does this matter to you? Because these habits are worth stealing! And remember, it only takes 21 days to form a habit. Try to incorporate these habits into your life for 3 weeks. Not only will you see results, but you will have developed healthy new habits as well.
