How to Overcome Weight Loss Failure - Health - Fitness

Can't lose weight? If you have tried everything and still struggling to see the scale tip, something is definitely wrong. Your weight loss problem is not occurring just because you are a weight loss disaster. It is not because you are just a glutton who gorges on plate after plate. Eating is a part of life and a necessary thing that must be done to sustain life. So, lose your fear of eating and fear of being fat. I have been helping people who are convinced they cannot lose weight to lose weight for the past 25 years. I can help you lose a minimum of 5 pounds every two weeks. This may not seem like a lot, but that is 10lbs a month. In ten months, you will lose 100 lbs. If you weigh 280 lbs. on Valentine's Day, by thanksgiving you will weigh 180 pounds. If you weigh 225lbs. on St. Patrick's Day, you can weigh 125lbs. by Christmas. I hope that I have your attention now.

The key to successful weight loss is to lose a little weight at a time. Gradual fat loss is better than quick weight loss because your skin will not look saggy and you will maintain your weight loss for a longer period of time. Also, you will not have to perform any drastic dietary changes. Reading this article is just the beginning to a lifetime of freedom. I want you to stop watching those late night infomercials about weight loss. Turn the channel. Next, I want you to get rid of all unrealistic expectations.

Cure for Fat Loss Failure #1: Change your mind. Take the attitude of baby steps. I want you to conquer the day and not the world. I don't want you to think about the next month or the next week. I want you to start thinking only about today. I want you to focus on what you are going to eat for today. I want you to think of what you are going to drink today. The reason that you have had so much trouble losing weight is because you have lacked focus. You either focus on all your past dieting failures or how good you use to look when you were 18 years old. Forget the past and forget the future. I only want you to focus on today. This will help you keep a positive attitude.

Cure for Dieting Failure #2: Start reading labels. I do not want you to eat any more processed foods. You can eat whatever you want to eat as long as the food is not processed. I am not going to ban you from eating, I just do not want you to eat processed foods anymore. Carrots, Green Beans, Kale, Chicken, Turkey, Pork, it doesn't matter. Indulge. Do not overeat, but do not limit yourself.You can eat processed foods if you absolutely have to (i.e. you are on a roadtrip or stuck at an airport). Do not wallow in guilt. Go ahead and eat. In those situations,if you can, I recommend loading up on water until you get somewhere that you can partake of real food. Processed foods contain chemicals and solid fats that cause you to become fat or stop your fat burning. It can be tough to do, but if you want to eat a chicken sandwich, you cannot eat sliced chicken meat out of an Oscar Mayer plastic tub. You are going to have to cook a real chicken breast and slice it up. Then, you are going to feed your body a real chicken sandwich. Your body will learn to gradually process real food and your body will reward you by shedding pounds. If you eat processed cereals, candy bars, packaged meats, television dinners, or processed frozen meats, you are going to remain fat. If you exercise and eat junk, you are going to remain fat. Your body is not a landfill and your mouth is not a dump truck. It is simple; Garbage in, garbage out. Before you eat anything, I want you to read the label. If the food you want to eat has all natural ingredients, even if it a chocolate candy bar, eat it. However, if you pickup a bag of frozen meatballs from Sam's or Costco and the label does not include a list of any real meat, do not eat it. This is going to help you lose more weight than you know.

Cure for Weight Loss Failure #3: Get Madagascar Fever. If you have never seen this children's movie, you need to watch it. It has a great song that says "I like to move it, move it." If you are serious about your weight loss, you need to move your body more. If you currently feel like you move your body a lot, I am going to need you to move it a little bit more. There are some natural supplements that you can take to boost or multiply the effects of your workout. I recommend taking a multivitamin made by Alive and an appetite suppressant made by Bioneferin called Hunger Arrest. If you are a stay at home mom and have 2 to 3 kids, there is no need to buy expensive gym equipment. I want you to incorporate movement and not exercise into your life. I don't want you walking like a lab rat for 30 minutes in place. I want you to incorporate movement in your real life. For example, every morning I want you to walk to the mailbox. Do this for the first week. The second week, check t he mailbox in the morning and in the afternoon. I want you to start doing choirs around your house. For example, on Monday, vacuum the house this will work your back, shoulders, arms, and waist. On Tuesday, scrub the bathrooms. The scrubbing action will help your arms, knees, and chest. On Wednesday, clean the refrigerator and dishwasher. And on Thursday, continue cleaning and walking around your house. Adding in life activities will increase your movement on a daily basis and can be done at any time. Adding movement and not exercise will allow you to keep off the weight for good.Cure for Weight Loss Failure #4: Give yourself one vacation day per week. It can be any day of the week that you like. On this day you need to relax. If you like reading, then read. If you like watching movies then rent 4 movies and watch them back to back. If you like eating, then checkout a recipe book from the library and make some healthy small meals. In order to lose weight, you have to reduce your stress levels. High stress levels led to enormous amounts of hard belly fat. Belly fat does not come solely from overeating; belly fat can be triggered by stress hormones and chemical imbalances in the body. This is why incorporating relaxation into each week is so important.

If you follow these simple steps, you will begin losing about 5 pounds every two weeks. Although, this seems like a little bit, as the months go by, your dress sizes will continue to drop and you will become happier and healthier. There will be no need to do Weight Watchers or order Nutrisystem. You will be able to fit into smaller sizes gradually, lose weight naturally and it will not cost you a fortune.
