Observe The Five Best Fat Loss Rules For The Resistant Dieter
I remember reading once that "all diets work" and all diets will help you to "lose" weight. The difficulty is that rather than maintain the weight loss we tend to go back to our bad eating habits and gain all of the weight that we lost back again. I I didn't agree.
As an experienced dieter I have attempted many weight loss programs that just didn't work. I would follow the program religiously but the scale would not budge. On some of these diets, I could follow perfectly for months at a time and never lose a pound.
Biology has made it more challenging for women to lose weight. It is always easier for a man to lose weight because nature has programmed women to hold on to fat. That is because in the case of a famine, a woman not only has to be able to keep herself alive but she must also be able to keep any fetus alive. Biology has just made it more difficult for women. It's a fact of life.
But over the years I have learned quite a bit about what works to lose weight and what doesn't work. Here are the top five rules that I have come up with.
The first rule is simple. You have to eat. You must eat at least 3 meals and even as many as 6 small meals every day. Eating at regular intervals keeps you blood sugars level and it keeps you from gorging and eating everything in site later. Your metabolism will keep burning calories if it knows there is no lack. If your body thinks it is starving your metabolism will shut down and your body will conserve the fat.
The second is to only eat quality food. That means nutritionally dense food that will be an advantage to your body. Eating food that is lacking in nutritional value is a sure way to pile on the pounds. Also many cravings are actually caused by a nutritional deficit so stay away from any food that does not provide adequate nutrition.
The third rule is to have protein at every meal. There is a reason why high protein diets have been successful. It's not because they are especially nutritious but rather because protein will not cause sugar spikes and it is digested slower than carbohydrates, especially simple carbohydrates. Therefore, when you add protein you don't get anywhere near as hungry and you don't eat nearly as much.
Fourth rule is to choose quality carbs. Simple carbs, like donuts, cakes and sweets of any kind and anything that is made from white flour will spike your blood sugar, which will create more hunger, and it will just cling to your fat deposits. Complex carbohydrates have fiber and nutrients that are advantageous to your body. Complex carbohydrates include whole grains and vegetables.
The fifth rule is to start moving. Begin an exercise plan. Start walking and take the stairs. You can begin slow and move up to a more challenging plan as you become stronger but if you want to lose weight and keep it off long-term exercise is critical.
This is a lifetime commitment. Few people with weight problems master it once and never have to think of it again. It is a commitment you make everyday. But if you stick to these rules for the majority of the time you will be on your way to a lean body. - 17273
