Top Five Weight Loss Myths
By Mr. Keith of www.IChooseThin.com
There is so much misinformation that is circulating around the internet about weight loss that it is hard to decide what is good and works and what is bad and does not work. You sit in your chair and not only feel bloated you are getting depressed about your weight gain and the feeling of being powerless to be able to take control of your life. There is a really good chance that the reason for your budding depression is because you have been led around with incorrect and inaccurate information. Let's look at some weight loss facts and let you be the judge! 1) Diets Work In The Long-Term All diets fail as you can attest to because here you sit today and your weight is still there. You have tried so many fad diets and yet you still think that maybe that one diet will come along that works. Give up on the diet and start on your new lifestyle because any diet is doomed to fail. Diets have a start date and an end date. What happens if you stop eating carbs and lose 100 pounds? If 100 pounds was your goal and your diet was a "success" what now? Do you go back to carbs or are you ready to give them up forever? More than likely your diet will end long before your weight loss is forever. Quit looking for a diet and start a "live-it." Start a program that you can lose a pound here and there and stick with it for the long haul. This is how a weight loss plan lasts for a lifetime. True weight loss is not a dash to the finish line. True weight loss is for the rest of your life! 2) Not Eating Will Help Me Lose Weight The uninformed weight loss attempt will include eating fewer calories during the day. If you want to lose weight you need to be able to give your food the energy it needs to survive. If you just cut back on the food supply it is not healthy and actually defeats the purpose. When a person cuts back on calories their body goes into a sort of starvation mode and starts to restrict the burning of fat and starts to increase the burning of muscle. This hurts your weight loss attempt and actually when you start eating normal again you will add more fat than when you started to try and lose weight. You MUST eat to lose weight, which leads us to the next myth. 3) Three Meals a Day Is Best If you want to lose weight you should not eat three meals a day. If you want to lose weight you should supply only enough calories every four hours to get you to the next mini-meal. If you eat 2,500 calories at one meal your body takes what it needs to operate and then converts the rest to fat. If you eat less more often then there will no excess calories to turn into fat and since you are not hungry your body will burn fat and not muscle. If you want to lose weight then you need to eat to lose weight. 4) I Can Do Without My Favorite Foods If you love pizza are you planning to never eat it again? What about chocolate? What about Pepsi? Every time people start diets they start off with rigid rules and make absurd rules like no pizza ever again. What this results in is the event of having a slice and then feeling as if you are a failure and that you can't make your diet work and then you just give up and stop trying. If you really want to lose weight it is not a dash to the goal, it is a marathon. If you are trying to lose weight then you need to go back to myth #1 and work that slice of pizza into your life. You are foolish if you think that you can go through life without ever eating your favorite foods again. If you ate a couple of slices of pizza tonight that is not the end of the world. True weight loss is all about choices and choosing a reward ever now and then is not failure. If you are losing weight and eat pizza one night and get back on track the next day the weight loss world will not crumble. You can't deprive yourself from food and be a success for the long-term because in the long-term you will surrender to your desires and then you will feel like a failure and give up. By incorporating your favorite foods every now and then you are setting yourself up for long-term success and also staying away from fad diets. It all goes back to your diet not being a diet, but a live-it. 5) Everyone Can Lose Weight But Me The chance of you having a medical condition exist and should never be over looked but chances are that if you really tried to lose weight you could make it happen with the proper motivation. For some people that motivation may be heart failure or the death of a sibling or a spouse. Whatever your reason for reading this here and now it proves you have some motivation. You too can lose weight but only if you educate and apply yourself. If you really want to lose weight then you too can make it happen. Join a support group and just start getting more active. If you really want it bad enough then just go for it and make it happen. You can lose weight but you have to want it bad enough for that motivation to last. You need sustained motivation. Are these really the top five weight loss myths? Maybe not but they really are worth your time to realize that what you just read can empower you to move on to the next level of your weight loss journey. That next level is the beginning of your weight loss journey. That journey began with the knowledge that tears away only five weight loss myths.
