Everywhere that you turn there is information on how to
lose weight. You will find it on television, in newspapers
and magazines. The amount of articles and products
available on the internet is astounding.
Weight loss as a category is the third most search topic on
the internet (after porn and gambling).
Research tells us that the average weight loss seeker tries
a new product or diet every six months.
What does this suggest to us? Simply that the average
person embarking on a weight loss regimen is only partially
successful, if at all.
It seems as if the only difference between a rat in a maze
and people on diets and diet products is that eventually
the rat will find the cheese.
Contrary to what I am implying, successful weight loss is
not hopeless. Quite the opposite, if you know what to do
weight loss can be relatively effortless.
The key to succeeding is knowing how to approach your
weight loss problem.
The following are some necessary things that you must know
if you are going to succeed.
1- You must absolutely make up your mind.
Almost every to do list pertaining to weight loss includes
this tip. Practically no one emphasizes just how crucial
this is.
Setting your goal firmly and deeply is the one thing that
is essential if you are to succeed. Not having your goal
firmly established is similar to being on a boat in the
middle of the ocean without a rudder. Aimless and lost.
How can you get somewhere is you do not know where you are
going?
2- Dieting does not work. This is one of the reasons why
people are constantly trying out new programs.
What does work is changing your lifestyle. Getting fat
does not happen in a vacuum.
It comes down to two simple points. What we eat and how
much activity do we have.
Going on and off of a diet is a type of self destructive
behaviour.
Educate yourself as to what types of food are good for you.
Eat more whole grains, beans, vegetables and fruit (also,
nuts and seeds).
Stop eating fast food. Avoid food that is processed and
already prepared.
Do not diet. Change the way that you eat.
3- Plain and simple, most of us do not have enough physical
activity.
Figure out what type of physical exercise that you enjoy
and implement it into your daily routine. Preferably, your
exercise program should be organic. In other words;
walking, jogging, swimming or riding a bicycle.
Exercise accomplishes a couple important things. The first
is that it obviously burns calories. Just as important, it
focuses our will, improves our outlook, gives us more
energy and helps us to follow through.
These are the three necessary keys that you need to
approach your weight loss program. When you implement
these steps your will become stronger and healthier. The
extra benefit is those extra pounds will come off
effortlessly.
Good luck.
