Frightened by your own shadow ?
Do you hide from the mirror ? Well join an ever growing club! For all of us putting on weight is a gradual thing, in many instances taking many months and years and then suddenly you catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror or a shop window and gasp “is that really me ? Is that my profile?” and unfortunately the answer sinks in – yes it is.
For a women it sometimes even harder than for a guy. As females we are so heavily influenced from such a young age by images in films and magazines about the 'body beautiful'. And then a few years on, possibly a couple of kids later and a busy, hectic family life looking after, home, family and holding down a job – the old take-away and snacking 'on the hoof' has taken its tole. But now its time to fight back and achieve some rapid weight loss
Unfortunately human nature is such that if we find something we don't like we want to get rid of it as quickly as possible and certainly weight gain is top of the list for a quick, fast solution – but whatever you do to achieve do bear in mind that weight gained over time, will take time to lose as well.
Having said all that weight loss motivation is important as it gives the initial stimulus that you can do it and helps you soldier on to bigger and better achievements and hopefully a longer term situation whereby you not only lose the weight but keep it off as well!!
While there are many methods that you can try to lose weight, the fastest way to lose weight is to change the way that you eat and exercise.
You are what you eat!!
How often have we all heard that, I know its boring but think about it – and you'll quickly agree there's some real truth in the statement. So this is an you need to address to achieve rapid weight loss
Our lifestyles are certainly pretty hectic, that means we eat on the hoof. take outs are readily available and easy but unfortunately not very healthy. Plus when was the last time you sat down after a meal & felt totally stuffed ?? Here's a hint 'portion control' is a very effective weapon in the weight loss motivation arsenal.
But letsconsider what you need to do – check out different fat burning diets and foods. See how these foods are incorporated into a healthy lifestyle change.
The internet and diet books should be able to provide you with a list of foods that can help you with a quick and safe weight loss.
Next start to incorporate these 'good foods' into your daily diet. Also add in portion control. We all need to eat less. Drink plenty of water this is a great way of 'fooling' your stomach that you are fuller than you actually are. Don't snack or if you must make sure its a low calorie, healthy snack or try some fruit as well.
Don't forget the 5 portions a day rule over vegetables – stick to it, its good for you.
Next consider your exercise level
You may need to discuss what you should or shouldn't do with your doctor. Its important to undertake a level of exercise that your body can accept without incurring injury.
Consider walking more – walking is terrific park the car further away from the shops or office and walk briskly – its terrific exercise and just so easy to do.
Cycling – again a reallyeasily performed, all round exercise which can be enjoyed as a family
Get an exercise video – for many of us doing it in our own home is easier than attending a gym where we might feel a bit self concious. There's absolutely loads to choose from and for all age groups as well.
But most important of all – DO SOMETHING NOW! And achieve
Its vital with the different ways to lose weight you can find a method that will agree with you.
Having started on your choice of diet and exercise regime you will find that while there may be other quick weight loss methods that might tempt you stick to one – flitting from one to another will only frustrate you and probably reduce your chances of success.
Diet plans like the Zone and South Beach have been touted quite a lot. The people who are on these diets will swear that participating in one of these diets is the reason why they have found the fastest way to lose weight. Unfortunately you will find that these diets restrict the foods that you eat. For many this is not a problem but if you like your food you may find this difficult to stick to and once you have reached your target goal of weight loss you will find that you can’t enjoy lots of great tasting foods without possibly gaining some of the original weight you lost
Ultimately its a case of finding and developing a plan that will work with and for you, and with your and your families lifestyle all there's no point starting a diet that focuses on a type of food you absolutely hate!
The goal has to be achieve some then continue to lose weight possibly more gradually and by that time hopefully you will have educated your stomach and your eating habits into a pattern of eating less, more healthier thereby enabling a sustainable weight level that you fell comfortable with and improves your overall health.
