Losing Weight Dosn’t Have To Be A Knock Down Drag Out Fight

If you’re thinking about going on a diet to lose those unwanted pounds which apparently you are or you wouldn’t be here. Then you need to know what the true meaning of dieting is.

Dieting is a combination of three very important parts. I like to call them the three ingredients of a successful diet. Believe me from my own personal experience you need all three of these ingredients to be successful in any diet program you use. And by successful I mean losing the weight and keeping the weight off. It’s like a triangle you can’t make a triangle with just one or two sides you need all three. Not two and a half either all THREE.

The first of the three is motivation. If you don’t have the rite motivation you’ll find it very hard to achieve and maintain your goal. Motivation is the key, the foundation you could say to a successful diet. Think about it anyone who has tried any of the dieting programs out there has failed. Well let me rephrase that, not everyone but mostly everyone, very few are successful. You need the rite motivation and it has to be for you. If your motivation is to lose the weight for someone else, for what ever the reason trust me you will fail. You have to want to lose the weight for you and you only. Nobody cares about you as much as you do.

The second is determination you have to be determined to lose the weight no matter what. In other words you have to really want to lose the weight. Now the second is not that hard. You may struggle a little bit, but believe me if you have the rite first ingredient down, the second will surly come around.

The last ingredient to the successful diet recipe is probably the hardest, but it is a must. There is no way around it. You have to have discipline. Or you have to teach yourself DISCIPLINE. In all likely- hood you gained this extra weight because of your eating habits. By disciplining yourself and changing your eating habits you will be able to keep and maintain your weight in a comfortable area for you.

My theory is this. If you can find a diet that works for you, one that will help you to lose the weight, that’s great. If you want to lose weight fast you will probably have to starve yourself. Or what is known as fasting. But if you just want to lose weight and not fill that you are making some life or death sacrifice. Then you need to focus on the types of food you eat. And more importantly when you eat, and how many times a day you eat.

The old rule of three meals a day comes to mind here. If you can eat a good breakfast a healthy lunch/dinner and supper. And not eat the late night snacks of junk. Then you’re on your way. You really shouldn’t eat after six at night or before you go to bed. But if you absolutely have to have that snack, you should have something good for you. There are a lot of healthy items on the market today. I recommend something with fiber. After all we all no what fiber dose to the human system. I know you really don’t want to here this but, you will have to do some sort of exercise. At least 20 to 30 minutes a day, five days a week. Walking is for all purposes the best. Because it’s not very strenuous and it’s the best way to get your metabolism up to doing what it was designed to do. That is to burn fat. If you can do this then you will be able to lose, and maintain your desired weight.

GOOD HEALTH AND GOOD LUCK
