Losing Weight One Pound at a Time!
Over two-thirds of American adults are overweight or obese.
That’s quite a high percentage 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’ll 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 isn’t going anywhere without a
little effort on that persons 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 didn’t gain the
weight overnight! You aren’t going to lose it overnight, either! You will
have to put forth effort to lose the fat, one pound at a time! Even after you’ve
shed those extra pounds, you will have to continue to work at controlling
your weight, if you wish to keep the fat off!
In an
article on Consumer Reports.org which rates various popular diets, Cathy Nonas,
R.D., M.S., (an obesity researcher at North General Hospital in New York)
states, The best diet is the one you can stay on. Consumer Reports goes on to
say that 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. From my own personal experience, I have found that
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 American 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’ll
have to make a few lifestyle changes, and you’ll have to work on being more
disciplined in your eating habits. But, in the end, it will be worth it! You’ll
look better! You’ll feel better! Your confidence will return, and you’ll
believe that there isn’t anything that you cannot do!
Wouldn’t
it be worth giving up that 44-ounce Coke and that huge order of greasy French
fries for a healthier, happier you? If you simply can’t 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’s
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’ll lose that
weight, a pound at a time!
Note:
Before beginning any weight loss program, be sure to check with your medical
professional.
