The time has arrived and you’ve determined that this is the time when you’re actually going to shed some weight. It’s not that you have not had this concern earlier in your life, but you are having it now and you want to make something happen. You’re thinking of just not eating for a while days. But in you’re heart you know that never works.
You’ve tried “quit eating” diets before and sometimes you’ve actually lost weight. For a while. You’ve also tried low carb diets, low fat diets, low calorie diets and practically every other type of diet that seems like it may work. You may have also attended a weight loss program at one time.
Most popular weight loss diets just don’t work. There are several reasons for this. Probably the primary reason is that they require you to eat little food portions. That means that you go around hungry. Other diets require you to eat foods that you just don’t like. Imagine a diet of nothing but celery. You might lose weight, but you won’t stay on your celery diet for very long, will you. Soon you’ll be back to pizza, hamburgers and french fries. The good stuff.
There’s a reason that low fat, low carb diets don’t work beside just being difficult to stay on. They actually throw your body into starvation mode. That means that instead of your body reacting in a positive way to the lack of calories it is experiencing, it believes that there is a food shortage. So instead of burning fat to keep you at proper nutrition levels, it starts burning muscle. It will only burn fat once it’s burned through all the muscle it thinks it can safely consume. So once you start losing muscle mass, your metabolism rate declines. You’re body requires less food and so you have to eat even less to keep up the weight loss progress you have made so far.
Here’s a real easy way to lose a lot of weight fast. It also doesn’t really cost anything. Just drink eight 8 ounce glasses of water daily. You will lose weight. A lot of it. That’s because the water kind of “washes away” your fat. The water also helps you to feel less hungry, so your appetite declines.
Why don’t more people drink water to lose weight? The guess is that they find the water to be tasteless and they wind up running to the bathroom all the time. Flavoring your water with something you like that doesn’t involve calories may be the solution. Some people swear by Crystal Lite. The trick is to take action. Just put water drinking into your habit pattern. It’s a great start to losing weight.
The truly successful weight loss program depends on a modification of your eating habits. Not for a few days, weeks or months, but for the rest of your life. That means several things have to be a part of your eating habits. You have to like the food you eat. You have to be able to eat enough of it to feel full after a meal and finally, it has to provide your body with enough vitamins, minerals, calories and other necessities to stay healthy.
