We have discussed which foods you should limit in your diet and which foods you should get more of. We talked about polyunsaturated and mono saturated fats and simple and complex carbohydrates and how you need a balance of everything. Monitoring your fat and calorie intake coupled with exercise will be instrumental in your weight loss.
As you have already calculated your target body mass index and your target weight you can now determine how much weight you will need to lose in order to achieve that goal. As was mentioned earlier, always start with an end in mind, that way you can work gradually toward
your weight loss goal.
You become empowered when you know how much weight you need to lose, how many calories you need to consume and how many you need to burn. Your body really is a machine that consumes and expends energy, once you figure that out your weight loss will be completely within your grasp.
For example you wouldn’t consume 4,000 calories if you were only going to do 500 calories worth of exercising would you? Once you burn close to what you eat you will start to see the weight shift. To see the weight melt off you need to burn more than you consume.
Don’t be tempted to miss meals, this will only hinder your metabolism and derail your weight loss efforts. Skipping meals makes you tired and lethargic and your body will rebel by making you eat high calorie foods to gain back those missing pounds so don’t trigger your body’s defenses, lose weight in alignment with your body.
There you have it, all of the tools and resources you need to lose the weight that has been clinging to your body. This is not a diet but a lifestyle which is the only way to lose the weight once and for all
permanently.
Let the last diet you will ever be on be the one before you found this.You are not force fed meal plans or times to eat. You can govern yourself, you have enough information to make informed decisions and you are exercising that over what you eat because you are now accountable to yourself. You owe it to yourself.
I have just armed you with the information you need to be eating the right kinds of fats and carbs and how much exercise you have to do if you really want to change your life this time. You decide based upon this information, what combinations of foods you would like to eat because no one approach will work for everyone, it wouldn’t be realistic and would be seen as just another diet if I were to do that to you.
You are going to take stock of what you eat in the real world, you’re just doing it sooner rather than later. Most people coming off set meal plan diets don’t know how to eat in the real world and end up falling back into old habits; this is because they never addressed their eating habits and why they gained the weight in the first place. They were trying to fix the symptoms of the weight rather than to get to the root cause of the problem which is more than just the issue of the weight itself.
