Fat Loss For Good

So you want to lose weight? In my practice, losing weight is a
common question among patients. They want to know my opinion,
what I would do if I were going to lose weight. Everyone has an
opinion, and a lot of the time I think they want to hear if my
theories fit with theirs. The last couple of years I have seen a
trend of people trying to get the latest and greatest quick
weight loss strategy or ideas. The push usually comes in the
spring because we want to look good in the bathing suit for the
summer. Everyone is getting a little more anxious and willing to
do a lot less to lose weight. Fat loss has become a huge topic,
and libraries and bookstores are full of information. How can
you really get to the real information, when at times it feels
like weight loss is on information overload? First, weight loss
does not have to be difficult. There has to be a conscious
effort to make a lifestyle change. You must want a lifestyle
change to become healthier and vibrant. You need to start taking
a more proactive role in educating yourself on how to lose
weight properly. I have read hundreds of books on the topic and
they all have a basic premise. You need to eat right and
exercise. These have to be activities that become a daily habit.
Also for most of us we have to look at what emotional factors
are causing us to gain weight. Stuck emotional habits are
probably one of the biggest reasons why most people have tried
every diet under the sun and still can’t lose weight. Start with
creating good eating habits, if that is adding a salad to your
lunch; then congratulations. Exercise more, if that is beginning
with walking; then great! As days progress, walk faster and
longer, try and develop a sweat. Most importantly, look inside
and find out what emotional triggers are holding you back from
losing weight. Dr. Alan Jenks is a Health & Wellness Consultant
