We've all felt that feeling of dread - the day you stepped on the scales and realized that you needed to lose weight. Or maybe it's a little more serious and you have been told by the doctor that you need to lose weight. At some time in our lives, it happens to all of us - we decide to lose weight and change those bad habits for once and for all.
The biggest fear for a lot of people comes when they discover that they have to give up those junk or comfort foods that they enjoy so much. Why a lot of people fail in their plans is because they try to stop eating the fatty foods overnight. Unfortunately, it's never that easy. It's a little akin to smoking - if you've enjoyed it for a number of years it takes a little while to wean yourself off.
It's all about the long term - statistics prove that 95% of people who experience some weight loss put the weight back on just as quickly - the reason for this is usually that they have rigorously stuck with a diet and exercise regime, but did not have the right mindset to make the commitments over the longer term - as soon as they lost the weight they reverted back to old habits and the weight came back.
If you've tried many diets and they haven't worked, it's quite possible that you were trying to do too much too soon. Take a look at the list below, it's a slower method, but very effective.
1. In the morning, plan your meals for the day. Don't worry too much about what is good and bad for you, just write down what you would normally eat on that day.
2. Replace one of those meals with a healthy alternative - think about the healthy foods that you really like, and use that in place of one of the meals.
3. In two days time, repeat step one, but this time replace two of the meals with healthier meals.
4. The next week, replace another meal with a healthier option
Continue to do this at regular intervals until you have replaced all of your meals with healthier options. By doing this slowly you will be acclimatizing your body to the healthier foods a little at a time, rather than all at once. You will be less likely to get withdrawal symptoms and cravings.
Don't worry if the interval between one replacement is longer, as long as you keep to it you will be fine. The important thing is that you do make the changes - you can do them at whatever pace you like, just be aware that the longer you take the longer the benefits will take to become reality. |

When trying to lose weight, the first mistake so many people make is to radically reduce their food intake, and then "forget" to accompany this with any sort of exercise regime. Studies have shown that the amount of fat in the body of a person with limited physical exercise is vastly more than those who exercise regularly - the diet in many cases is largely irrelevant.
