WEIGHT MANAGEMENT BASICS #23: RELAPSE PREVENTION- Changing your habits involves some trial and error. No one is perfect all the time. When you get off your program that is called a lapse. We all have lapses, but a string of lapses is called a relapse. A series of relapses can lead to collapse which is giving up altogether. The key to stopping collapse is relapse prevention. You have had a lapse, but now you can look at what led to that lapse and try to have an alternative that you can substitute. For example, you overeat at a business lunch. Have a Protein-Rich Shake before you go to lunch next time and then have a salad with dressing on the side at lunch with water or iced tea during your conversation. You won’t be hungry or tempted to binge. Remember every lapse has a cause or thought beforehand. Control those and you will be able to stick with your plan for Balanced Nutrition and a Healthy Active Lifestyle! #drdavidheber #behavior #weightlossjourney #relapse to learn more go to www.drdavidheber.com and www.herbalifenutritioninstitute.com and read PERSONALIZED NUTRITION AND TRANSFORMATION available on Amazon.com for $5.49
