Quick Fix Weight Loss - Society's Problem

Quick Fix Weight Loss - Society's Problem
We are blessed in today's society that whatever we want, we
can pretty much get it straight away. When I mean straight
away, I mean now.

You want information about your next holiday destination,
go Google it. If you want a meal, just ring your local
Pizza parlor. You can listen to your favorite song on
demand on your IPOD. It's quite amazing what we can do.

All of this instant gratification though is making it very
hard for us to be healthy and lose weight.

Because we are so used to getting whatever we want, when we
want it, we've been conditioned to believe that we should
be able to lose weight at the push of a button, or the
taking of a pill, without changing anything we're doing.

Now, if we think logically about this, it does not make any
sense. Anyone who is even a half-expert in weight loss will
tell you, it comes down to one simple formula:

You have to burn more calories per day than you eat.

If you do that, you'll lose weight. The problem is that you
have to do this consistently, and to do it consistently we
have to change our habits.

The thing is though, we don't want to eat less. We don't
want to give up our favorite foods and drinks. And of
course, we don't want to exercise.

That is the reason why there has been a massive industry
selling weight loss pills and drugs created. To try and
satisfy this instant gratification need we have. If you
have a look at some of the side effects created by some of
these drugs, you wouldn't wish it on your worst enemy. The
thing is though, we'd be happy to pay for it and take it,
as long as we can just keep eating our junk, and sitting on
the couch, and lose weight at the same time, which the drug
goes to work inside your body.

Now, am I saying that weight loss drugs and supplements are
all useless?

No, not necessarily. What I am saying is that if you are
really serious about losing weight and keeping it off, you
do need to make some lifestyle changes. And you know what?

It won't be easy. Anytime you do make some lifestyle
choices, there's going to inertia. You'll have resistance
from yourself to making the change. You just have to keep
focused on your end goal.

So, what is smart is to focus on changing your lifestyle,
and choosing effect supplements to help you do this, if it
is appropriate for you.

How do you know if a supplement is appropriate for you?

All you have to do is figure out what lifestyle choices
you're going to make. Decide what habits you need to form
to maintain the body you want. Now think about all the
things that might go wrong, when you make those changes.

For example, if you are overweight, you should start by
looking at what you are eating. Often people will over-eat
and under-drink. What I mean by that is that they will eat,
even when they are not hungry, just because its lunch time,
or because food makes them comfortable, and they won't
drink water regularly throughout the day (and leave them
dehydrated).

So in that case, this person should think about how they
can have water within touching distance of themselves
throughout the day. If you do that, you will naturally sip
it. You'll be amazed how this simple tip controls your
appetite.

If comfortable eating is a problem, I would now look at one
of the popular weight loss supplements out there, called
Hoodia. I would choose Hoodia, because, to date, there are
no known side effects that have been reported. This doesn't
mean that it won't cause side effects, because Hoodia is
quite new to the market, but at this stage it seems the
best choice. I would though be very careful about where I
buy my Hoodia from. The source where you get your Hoodia is
the most important factor you have to think about if you
plan on using it.

The reason Hoodia would be effective here is because its
job is to make you feel full. So if you are already feeling
full, you don't have to worry about comfortable eating. You
can now focus on eating a balanced diet, full of good
nutrition so that your body gets all the nutrients it needs
to help you lose weight.

Again, I would not recommend relying on Hoodia long term.
Use it in the short term to get into good dietary habits,
then when you do get used to eating healthy foods, wean off
it.

That way you keep in total control, without relying on
anything. You're just using it (Hoodia in this case) to
make it easier for you to change your lifestyle. The point
is, if you want to keep the weight off, you have to take
the power off the pill, and put it back into your ability
to change your lifestyle. If you do that, you're more
likely to stick to your new habits, and therefore keep the
weight off.
