Your goal is whatever you would like to achieve. This is totally for you to decide.
Here are some tips on how to create your goal.
- Make it an achievable goal. Something you really think you can do.
- Try a small goal first of all. Even something like stopping eating something; a particular kind of drink or food.
- Feel like I am taking control of what I eat.
- Develop more awareness of what I eat and drink.
Here are some typical goals that you might consider:
- Use a smaller plate to reduce portion size.
- Only eat at meal times.
- Change snacking from crisps to something else.
- Stop eating chocolate as a snack.
- Eating cake twice a week not every day.
- Stop drinking wine on Monday to Thursday.
- Stop drinking fizzy drinks with food.
If you start with a small goal first of all and then achieve this, then you can go on to a bigger goal. Multiple small goals work well. The Beach Diet approach is about changing your behaviour for the long term, so small steps, through small goals, if fine.
Once you’ve decided on your goal, you can go on to decide on what your first change will be.
