Weight Loss Motivation Rules

As with any plan there are always rules. Weight loss is no different; after all it is a battle, a battle of mind over body and every battle has rules. Below is what I consider to be the golden rules of weight loss.

These are, in order,

» You are responsible for yourself and actions
» There are downsides as well as ups, take the rough with the smooth
» Pick the weight loss routine suitable for you
» Take the routine seriously
» And follow through to the end

You are responsible for yourself and actions

Remember, a diet is a selfish action; it is for one person and one person only. A diet should be undertaken for your own needs and desires, not others, for this reason alone it is your very person that is responsible for its success or failure. Pressure is applied more often than not by others and surroundings, but you will have to be strong.

There will be up's and down's

So, going with the theory that most people will take some time to realize the truth of the magic rules, the first thing that you need to do then to begin your weight loss regime, is to realize that it is not going to be an easy road to walk or run down.There will be many tempting goodies like: cream cakes, full fat coffees, cream cheese bagels, the ever popular Burger chains and so on and so forth, littering your path. It is up to you to resist and not give in to these temptations.


Pick a Weight loss Routine Best For You

You have decided that you want to lose weight and you are going about trying to find a way to make this a reality. Now you need to take a few minutes away from your busy schedule to deicide exactly what measures you can implement in your lifestyle to make it easier for you to lose weight, and also decide how much time you are willing to devote to doing this. This might be more difficult for you than you think, but the thing is for it not to become daunting at this first hurdle.

If you have only a very minimal time frame on your hands to devote to your goal of losing weight, there is no need to despair.Since you have already begun the crucial process, you only need to follow through with it and implement a plan that will enable you to do so despite your busy schedule.

Take things one at a time and don't try to do everything at once. With a limited amount of time on your hands first concentrate on one aspect of your weight loss plan. If you want to implement an exercise regime, then do so. Leave the diet plans for a later date when you are better able to deal with it, or when your exercise routine has become a set part of your life. This way, you will be able to gradually incorporate your entire weight loss plan into your life, without having to leave anything out, or without having to feel beleaguered. The key factor when going through with this golden rule is that you need to find the right balance of diet and/ or exercise for you, the one plan that will fit seamlessly into your lifestyle habits without taking you too out of your way.

Take the Routine Seriously

If you went through the earlier golden rule, you know that in choosing the best weight loss plan for you, you need to choose one that fits into your lifestyle. The reason you are doing this, is to make this particular golden rule - the one about following through on your weight loss plan - a reality instead of a wish. Many people, myself included, find it easiest to start something; it is the follow through that we find difficult, and because of this, we find it easy to let go of our ideas and plans when the going gets tough.

By choosing a weight loss plan that fits naturally into your lifestyle to begin with, you are making it that much easier for you to stay the course and to follow through on your weight loss plans. If you look at it reasonably you will see that what I am saying makes sense. Think about it. If you have great ideas on how to lose weight and put them into action, you can be assured that for the first few days and weeks at least that you will go through with them. But what happens when you have to break through your routine to attend to something else? Since life can never be planned out down to a T, you can be assured of getting these interruptions, and frequently, if you lead a busy life.

Well, to begin with, you would try and keep as close to your plans as possible, but there may be one or two days when you need to abandon them altogether to accommodate outside influences. When this happens, which weight loss plan do you think you are most likely to follow through on, once you get back to your normal routine? The one which is great, but which takes you out of your normal routine and which requires you to push and prod yourself to get back into it?

Or the one which is maybe not as great as your original grand plan, but which runs more or less parallel to your normal routine, and which you can fall into more easily because it doesn't require you to go out of your way? I know which one I would chose, but this is because I know myself. I know that if I had to go out of my way over and over again, if I had to push and prod myself to get into my weight loss routine every time life threw a curveball at me that I would not follow through with it.

In fact, my life to date is littered with many of these grand weight loss plans and schemes, and for myself at least, I can attest that none of these worked the wonders that they should have. The plans were sound; it was the execution of them that left a lot to be desired! It took a little bit more of down-to-earth thinking, and my realization of the golden rules for me to lose weight successfully and keep it off.

And follow it through the end

The thing that will help you to lose weight, and will also help you to keep the weight off, is if you follow the plan through to the very end with your decision to lose weight. In other words if you have set yourself a target weight, then stick to it. Follow through to the end, and don't give up. If you have been reading through the earlier sections, or if you have gone down this route before, then you know how much easier it is to start yourself on a weight loss regime than it is to continue on with it. And you will also probably know how much easier it is to follow through on such a course if you give yourself a little nudge, than it is to see it through to completion.

Many of us, even if we do manage to successfully drag ourselves through our weight loss routine day after day, will find that it is harder to stay on track as time goes by and your goal comes ever closer. In my case most of the time, even when I followed through to nearly the end, I found myself losing the will to continue. This was mainly due to the fact that I was not as committed in the beginning as I could have been which in turn meant that I was only staying the course because I was forcing myself to do so, and not because I really wanted to. And this meant that when the going got tough, I got going - in the opposite direction most times! Since it was difficult enough to stay the course when things were happening normally in my life, it was near on impossible to stay the course when things went even slightly out of sync.

The end result? I would always, always find some way, some little loophole to exploit which would necessitate my going off my weight loss regime. So to see you through to your weight loss target, you need to follow through, and make a conscious decision that you will see it through to the end. But you also need to have that commitment to yourself and to your goal that you will see it through to the end. And really, it is only when you want to do this, when you have the commitment to stick with it come hell or high water, that you will find that you not only lose the weight, but you find that you also keep it off.

Myths About Weight Loss

Do you extremely apprehend what it takes to lose weight? are you able to extremely believe 

what those ads tell you? square measure you confused by what all those specialists square measure 

telling you? does one apprehend that ninety fifth of individuals WHO maintain typical diets, 

gain back all the load they need lost and infrequently find yourself fatter than once 

they began? does one extremely apprehend what's truth and what's hype?

Losing weight safely, healthily and for good isn't as difficult because it may seem. Once you recognize what works and what does not and so apply this knowledge properly, you can, finally, lose that ugly fat. This article highlights fifteen of the foremost common myths related to weight loss. Understanding them, can facilitate clear up the confusion and assist you to decide however best to lose that weight forever.

Fad diets work best for permanent weight loss.

Fad diets (South Beach Diet, Atkins Diet, Glycemic Load Diet etc.) are not the best way to lose weight and keep it off. Fad diets often promise quick weight loss or tell you to cut certain foods out of your diet. You may lose weight at first on one of these diets. But diets that strictly limit calories or food choices are hard to follow. Most people quickly get tired of them and regain any lost weight.

Fad diets may be unhealthy because they may not provide all of the nutrients your body needs. Also, losing weight at a very rapid rate (more than 3 pounds a week after the first couple weeks) may increase your risk for developing gallstones (clusters of solid material in the gallbladder that can be painful). Diets that provide less than 800 calories per day also could result in heart rhythm abnormalities, which can be fatal.

Research suggests that losing ½ to 2 pounds a week by making healthy food choices, eating moderate portions, and building physical activity into your daily life is the best way to lose weight and keep it off. By adopting healthy eating and physical activity habits, you may also lower your risk for developing type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure.

High-protein/low-carbohydrate diets are a healthy way to lose weight.

The long-term health effects of a high-protein/low- carbohydrate diet are not yet known. Additionally, getting most of your daily calories from high- protein foods like meat, eggs, and cheese is not a balanced eating plan. You may be eating too much fat and cholesterol, which can cause heart disease. You may be eating too few fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, which may lead to constipation due to lack of dietary fiber and cause a lack of essential vitamins and minerals.Following a high-protein/low- carbohydrate diet may also make you feel nauseous, tired, and weak.

Eating fewer than 130 grams (520 calories) of carbohydrate a day can cause your body to produce high levels of uric acid, which is a risk factor for gout (a painful swelling of the joints) and kidney stones. High-protein/low- carbohydrate diets are often low in calories because food choices are 

strictly limited, so they may cause short-term weight loss. But a reduced- calorie eating plan that includes recommended amounts of carbohydrate, protein, and fat will also allow you to lose weight. By following a balanced eating plan, you will not have to stop eating whole classes of foods, such as 

whole grains, fruits, and vegetables and miss the key nutrients they contain. You may also find it easier to stick with a diet or eating plan that includes a greater variety of foods.

The "set point" theory determines what we all should weigh.

The set-point theory holds that we all have an internal weight regulator, like a thermostat, that adjusts our metabolic rate up or down whenever we gain or shed pounds in order to return our body to its predetermined weight. Undoubtedly, some controls do exist or we would all be obese, or,alternately, wasting away. Studies show that when we lose weight, our metabolism actually shifts to a normal rate for that new weight, independent of individual differences. It is important ,however, that the weight loss is gradual, 1/2 to 2lbs per week is ideal. The body does not like rapid change as it tends to have emergency responses to something that it doesn't like. For instance, by losing weight rapidly, through diet, our bodies will go into "starvation mode" where it will slow our metabolism to preserve our fat reserves and thus make it very difficult to lose weight. It will also tend to make weight gain much more likely when the diet ends because our metabolism has been slowed down so much.

People nevertheless embrace the theory to blame their bodies, rather than their own behaviour, for their weight-loss failure. It offers comfort to those who refuse to accept the fact that weight control requires a commitment to a physically active and calorie-conscious lifestyle.

The best way to lose weight is by starving yourself.

Losing weight by not eating is an absolute no, no. There are 3 main reasons for this. Very low calorie dieting or any "quick weight loss" will significantly decrease our metabolism. Eating increases metabolism due to the energy required for digestion and absorption of the food. The calories required to digest, absorb, transport and metabolise the food we eat, can cause a 10% increase in our caloric expenditure each day. Every time we eat, our body's metabolism gets a temporary boost. So one way to help increase metabolic rate is to eat smaller, more frequent meals and snacks. Skipping meals causes a decrease in our metabolic rate until we again eat something.

Significantly reducing calories lowers our metabolic rate. Our body treats any sudden reduction in food intake as an impending starvation situation and prepares itself by slowing our metabolism to conserve calories. The more drastically we cut our calories, the more our metabolic rate drops.

Losing weight through dieting alone without exercise, depletes our muscle tissue stores. Muscle requires many more calories each day to maintain itself. The faster we lose weight through dieting alone, the more muscle tissue we lose and the lower our metabolic rate becomes. Exercise prevents muscle tissue loss and adds muscle bulk and therefore raises our metabolic rate.

You can lose weight from a specific part of your body.

It is, absolutely, physically impossible to lose weight just from a specific part of your body. You cannot control where fat is removed from your body. Any machine or specific exercise which claims to specifically lose belly fat or thigh fat is lying. Certainly, a specific exercise will improve muscle tone in that group of muscles being trained, giving the illusion that fat is being lost.

Fat will only disappear from your body in a predetermined order. Unfortunately for men that tends to be the belly area and the thighs and hips for women. Tom Venuto, author of the internet's best selling book on fat loss gives us a very good analogy. "You cannot empty the shallow end of the swimming pool before you empty the deep end first."

Is Natural Weight Loss Really Possible?

Only natural weight loss can be permanent. Going on diets and taking weight loss pills to eliminate food cravings is only temporary and leads to obesity. Not only is natural weight loss safe, but you'll eliminate food cravings without taking weight loss pills. Most weight loss systems are not natural, and that's why the "failure rate" is over 98%.

There are no diets whatsoever, which lead to natural weight loss, because every single diet slows down your metabolism, which means that when you go off the diet, you will eventually gain back more weight than you lost.

How many people do you know, who actually kept it off?

So, dieting is just not an option, if you want to keep the weight off for good.

Weight Loss Pills

Most weight loss pills or diet pills are nothing more than appetite suppressants, which help to take away food cravings so that you don't eat, or don't eat as much. So in reality, what you've done by taking weight loss pills, is actually putting yourself on a very drastic starvation diet, during which your body is getting progressively more starved for nutrition, and also...

Your metabolism will slow down to a crawl, and that's your guarantee that when you go off the weight loss pills, you are going to blow up like a balloon, and eventually gain all the weight back, plus a few extra pounds as a bonus.

Food Supplements

Taking a safe and healthy food supplement that your body can absorb, can really enhance a good natural weight loss program, because the extra nutrition will help your body to become more nutritionally satisfied. This will help to eliminate food cravings without taking weight loss pills. Cutting back on food cravings by becoming more nutritionally satisfied, means that...

You won't slow down your metabolism, and you won't have the same problem with regaining the weight. The problem however...

Is that most food supplements are not absorbed very well by your body. When you take a Vitamin and Mineral supplement for example, most people are only able to absorb between 4 to 5%, so it's a total waste of money, plus... If you are not absorbing the supplement, it will definitely not help to eliminate food cravings, so you're no further ahead.

In the Slim America Weight-Loss Project, we only recommend natural food supplements which are fully absorbed by the body. As a result, these totally safe food supplements really help to enhance and speed up our natural weight-loss program, and also...

Not only are food cravings greatly reduced, but our students are reporting lots of extra energy, more stamina, and are finding it much easier to stay away from junk foods which provide very little nutrition, but really help to put on the pounds.

Exercise for Natural Weight Loss

Proper exercise is an essential ingredient in any natural weight-loss program, because there is no way that the weight loss will be permanent without exercise, and that's a fact. But here's the problem...

Over 95% of all the weight loss exercises, that people do in order to burn off fat, actually burn almost no fat whatsoever. Most of these exercises burn almost exclusively sugar, and that's why it's so hard to get rid of the fat. For most people who are overweight, especially if you're obese, doing all the normal weight loss exercises like running, swimming, playing sports, using all the fancy exercise equipment in gyms, weight lifting etc., are practically useless for getting rid of fat.

Most of these exercises are very hard to do, require a lot of work, and a lot of sweating, for very little results. For sure, if you stick to it long enough it will certainly help, however...The results are so minimal for most people that 99% of people will give up long before achieving any realistic results.

In the Slim America Weight-Loss Project, we only recommend walking for weight loss, however just normal walking is not very effective either. In the Slim America Project, we actually teach 10 secrets about walking, which not only help to turn walking into a very effective fat burner, but more importantly, also helps to rebuild your metabolism.

Walking for weight loss has to be part of any natural weight loss system because it helps to turn your body into an effective fat burning machine, which will cause you to burn more fat during the whole day.

Complete Natural Weight Loss

Only a complete and natural weight loss system which is totally safe, without the use of weight-loss pills to eliminate food cravings, and which includes a good walking program will result in permanent weight loss... And also... You don't have to become a "health nut", to succeed!

Have a Great Life

How weight loss works

Weight is regulated by the calories we tend to consume from food and drink and therefore the calories we tend to burn (our rate (the rate our bodies tick over) + activity we tend to do).

When these 2 are in balance, our weight remains stable. {when we tend to once we tend to after we} consume a lot of calories than we burn we store them and gain weight. thus to {lose we tend tight reduce melt off slim slenderize thin slim down change state turn} we want to faucet into our fat stores by tipping the balance to consume fewer calories than we burn. little changes will very add up to form an enormous distinction. for instance one less fifty calorie plain biscuit per day may assist you lose 5lbs (2.3kg) in an exceedingly year – and one additional biscuit means that you'll gain that in an exceedingly year!

The number of calories burned daily is completely different for various folks and for the most part depends on our weight (heavier folks have the next metabolic rate), however active we tend to ar, our age, whether or not we tend to ar male or feminine, and the way abundant muscle we've. However, on average, ladies typically want around a pair of 2000 calories every day to stay their weight stable and men around 2,500 calories.

The calorie content of 1lb (0.5kg) of body fat is around three,500 calories. thus to lose around 1lb (0.5kg) in an exceedingly week, we want around a five hundred calorie deficit daily (7x500=3,500). this is often best achieved by consumption fewer calories and being a lot of active daily.
