A large percentage of adults are overweight or obese. That is quite a high number of adults who have a need to shed a little or a lot of fat! The only way to do this is one pound at a time!
Many overweight individuals wish and hope for a quick cure to their weight problems. They will try anything that promises instant results! Unfortunately, these miracle weight loss products are scams! They may help a person shed some water weight, initially. But, the fat is not going anywhere without a little effort on your part.
For those of you who have tried weight loss diets or are thinking about trying one, consider all the dieters who have tried the same diets and failed. The number one reason for permanent weight loss failure is the inability to stick with the diet!
Many individuals become yo-yo dieters. They try one diet for a while, lose a few pounds, quit the diet, gain back the weight (and then some), and move on to another diet. The process is repeated. With each new attempt, there is often more weight to lose than there was initially!
Successful Weight Loss Strategies
If you want to lose weight successfully, you must realize, first, that there are no miracle diets or products that will blast away the fat! You did not gain the weight overnight! You are not going to lose it overnight, either! You will have to put in an effort to lose the fat, one pound at a time! Even after you have shed those extra pounds, you will have to continue to work at controlling your weight, if you wish to keep the fat off!
The best diet is the one you can stay on. Adherence is important. To maintain lost weight, dieters must permanently reduce their calorie intake, because they will need fewer calories to fuel their now-smaller body.
Fad diets typically fail in the end. Eating sensibly works best! If you want to lose weight (one pound at a time), keep it off, and feel good, too, why not try cutting down on the empty calories found in most diets? Eat more raw vegetables and fruits and whole grains. Go easy on the fats and processed sugary or salty snacks. Limit yourself to smaller portions and avoid having second helpings. This type of diet is one that you CAN stick with and live with for the rest of your life!
Yes, you will have to make a few lifestyle changes, and you will have to work on being more disciplined in your eating habits. But, in the end, it will be worth it! Youll look better! Youll feel better! Your confidence will return, and you will believe that there is nothing that you cannot do!
Would it not be worth giving up that Coke and that huge order of greasy French fries for a healthier, happier you? If you simply cannot do without a few French fries and a Coke now and then, go ahead and treat yourself to a small serving. Cut back on calories somewhere else that day. Occasionally, it is okay to indulge. But, if you seriously want to shed the extra fat and keep it off, be conscious about everything you put into your mouth. You will lose that weight, a pound at a time.
