You Gain by Losing Weight (Part 1)

By Omar Alcock

Countless people struggle with weight loss and wonder what they’re doing wrong. They try diets they read about on the Internet that promise rapid weight loss, but they never deliver. The bottom line is this. If you’re going to lose weight and stay fit, you have to think long-term lifestyle changes. You can’t eat a banana or a bowl of cabbage soup for three days and think you’ve succeeded in your weight loss goal.

Yes, I know you’re trying to lose weight. So it stands to reason that the first step in weight loss would be cutting back on your food intake. But not so fast. Cutting back too much can be as detrimental to weight loss as eating too much food. Don’t starve your body.

When you don’t eat enough food, your body will begin to take whatever it needs in the way of nutrients from other parts of your body in order to survive. That means taking nutrients from your bones, teeth, and vital organs, leaving your body depleted. Your metabolism will shut down in order to reserve energy and your body will only use enough energy to stay alive. So while you may think that by starving yourself you’ll drop weight quicker. What you’re actually doing is sabotaging your metabolism.

The operative word when thinking of food is “healthy”. It’s not enough to simply eat enough food to keep your metabolism running at optimal performance. You need foods that will give your body energy while allowing it to function with a minimal amount of effort (visit http://omar2129.eliteweightlosspackage.com for more details).

The trick is to balance the amount of food you eat with whole grains, fresh vegetables and fruits, along with lean meats. Choosing those foods will give you the most bang for the buck. For instance, if you start the day out great by having a healthy breakfast of yogurt, eggs and toast but then skip lunch and eat a big dinner, you’ve thrown your body off balance by making the end of the day top heavy with calories.

You probably have a barrel full of excuses that you pull out every time you talk about why you haven’t lost the weight you want to lose. It could be anything from a sluggish thyroid to faulty genetics to just not having enough time to think about weight loss.

The only way you will lose weight and keep it off is to stop making excuses for why you’re not succeeding. Allowing yourself to use excuses for why you are unable to lose weight will only be self-defeating. Why bother trying when you’ve already decided that you won’t succeed? Empower yourself to change those excuses around and become proactive in your desire to lose weight.

You may not lose weight as fast as someone else who does not have the same issues you have. That’s a fact of life. But that doesn’t mean you won’t lose weight. And I can guarantee that you won’t lose any weight if you continue to use your excuses as a crutch.
