Dieting and Weight Loss

Dieting and Weight Loss

How do you feel when you step on the scales each day? Is it something like:

What the hell is going on here, I’m on a super crash diet! I did exactly what I was supposed to do! I’ve only eaten carrots and salad all day.

Is this how you feel?

Well trust me you are not alone.

• You probably know you need to lose weight but you have no idea where to begin.
• You may also think that you are doing everything right but you’re not seeing any results.

So What Did You Learn From the Video?

I’m only going to list a few of the more important issues that were mentioned as I don’t want to repeat what has already been said. The goal here is to point out some key facts that you can use to start controlling; not only your weight, but also you’re eating lifestyle.

1. Isabel

You learnt that Isabel was not born with the perfect body, and struggled just like you, and many others with her weight.

So this tells you straight away that you are not alone when it comes to weight loss issues. What this also tells you is you can overcome these weight loss issues if you so desire.

2. You have learnt that sugar is your enemy.

This statement tells you that not all healthy labeled foods are low in sugar. In fact most of them are extremely high in sugar, which will either make you gain weight or at the very least stay the same weight. What you are basically doing is filling your body with sugar that triggers the insulin in your body to control the high sugar levels. The bad thing is that once the insulin is triggered it will take you quickly from a high sugar level to a very low sugar level. This in turn makes you feel hungry and will cause cravings for more food. The answer is to stay within the fat burning zone and have the correct amounts of sugar in the body.

3. Not all Carbs are bad Carbs

You need Carbs to help the body function…FACT. But you need to know which Carbs are going to be of benefit to your body and which are NOT!! Basically the best kind of fats will help you burn fat.

4. Processed Foods

Processed foods contain a lot of sugar and many harmful chemicals. You also learnt that the liver can only work so hard and if you give it to much work, then you are in serious trouble. Try cutting down, or best of all, cutting out any processed foods, and you will be making a big step forward in your dieting and weight loss goal.

5. Calories

It’s not the number of calories you are eating; it’s the quality of the foods you are eating. By eliminating the bad foods and the processed foods and start eating the good foods you will lose weight. With a good diet you never need to starve yourself, and you should never feel hungry. If you starve yourself or feel hungry then your body reacts, and not in a good way!!

6. Where most diet fail

Diets are not specific to your individual body needs and are not in conjunction with your metabolic type. Food need to be specific to you alone and also portion sizes. Another problem with most diets is that you are told to eat certain foods, but you need to enjoy what you eat for any dieting and weight loss plan to work.

What are the best dieting and weight loss methods?

Losing weight can be a tricky and difficult process for many. There are so many dieting and weight loss products on the market today, how do we know what really works? The best thing you can do for yourself is to take a realistic approach when looking for that perfect diet.

Drastic diets might seem appealing, lose 10 pounds in seven days or less. Honestly do you really want to approach dieting and weight loss this way? In order to lose weight and to keep it off, you first need to change your lifestyle habits.  Before you can do this successfully, you must understand what it was that caused you to gain weight in the first place.

Identifying the cause of your weight gain can be difficult.  This is the time when you have to be brutally honest with yourself. Was it just a matter of over eating, or were you emotionally upset? No matter what the cause, first you must uncover it then you can deal with the reality of it.

If you gained weight due to lack of exercise and just eating too much, then these are the two areas which can be dealt with quickly. First, you will want to cut back on calories and secondly, begin an exercise program.

A great suggestion is to start keeping a food diary, this way you can count your calories and see what you are eating. It is so easy to consume more calories than we actually require each day. Keeping track of your foods allows you to see what you are really eating, making adjustments as necessary.

By consuming 500 calories less each day you can easily lose one pound per week. Doctors recommend losing 2-3 pounds per week. This way you are less likely to regain your weight.

When you first start your new diet or healthy eating plan you might see a fast weight loss. This is due to excess water and fluids which have been retained in your body. By switching to healthy, fresh foods you are ridding your body of unwanted toxins.

Try to prepare smaller portions of food, and use fresh fruits and vegetables whenever possible. By eating fresh fruits as opposed to drinking fruit juice, you will stay fuller during the day, reducing your cravings for a snack during the day.

The second component of your dieting and weight loss method ,is to incorporate more exercise into your daily routine. This doesn’t have to include going to the gym or any huge changes. Instead, attempt to add some extra walking into your lifestyle. Try to park at the back when you go to the grocery store, take the stairs at the mall, walk to the mail box every day. All these small things will aid you in burning calories and ultimately shedding pounds.

There is no quick fix for dieting and weight loss, it is going to take a sensible eating plan along with regular activity to produce the type of results you are hoping for. It took months or years to gain all that weight, it will take a while to lose it too.
