First Tuesday of May - Best Date to Start a Diet
MONDAY, 5 MAY 2008
The date on which you start anything is absolutely essential… and diets are no exception. With 13 million people in the UK trying to lose weight, many are doomed to failure even before they get past the first rice cake, but it is the date on which you start that could be the difference between winning and losing.
According to information from Bodyidplan.com, the company behind a new weight loss product, the best date to start a diet and make it work is the first Tuesday of May - this year, Tuesday, May 6th. So if you’re the type who flits from diet to diet, or are part of the 20% of the population permanently on a weight loss crusade, then it may be time to pencil in the first Tuesday of May, and give yourself the best chance of shaping up.
Why the first Tuesday of May?
- Studies show that people are most productive on a Tuesday. Certain traditions governing millions of people pinpoint this day as the best to ‘remove obstacles’.
- We spend more ‘me’ time on a Tuesday than other days where family, weekends, and work commitments tend to occupy our thoughts.
- From the middle ages, Tuesday has always been the day to confess and start afresh.
- The transition from winter clothes to summer outfits begins and with it the hope of changing our shape to adapt to the attire.
- Summer begins in May and we lose more weight naturally in summer than any other month.
Put Tuesday, 6th May, in your diaries, and make an appointment to begin your Body ID Plan.
Nutritionist Sheila Boyde says: “Animals react to the changing seasons with mood, metabolism and behavior, and humans are the same. Evidence shows that our ‘happy hormone’, serotonin, increases during the longer and lighter days of summer. This is the time to capitalize on increased feelings of well-being and energy to begin your personalized diet plan.
Healthy salads and vegetables are plentiful at this time and make lighter foods more appealing with the warmer weather. There is also more incentive to exercise after work with the lighter nights, encouraging you to venture forth out of the house.”
Body ID will be launched nationwide in the UK on May 6th.
