Blunders That Fat People Commit When Trying to Lose Weight
In this article, I will be telling you the common mistakes people make when trying to lose weight.
According to US Department of health, 95% of all the weight we lose is regained and 96% of all weight loss attempt ends in failure.
It means that less than one person in twenty, succeeds when trying to loose weight.
Fat people are classified into two: o The overweight o The obese [those people that I call dangerously overweight.
The overweight are 73% while the obese are 26%.
I am sure you know how alarming this issue is to the whole world, most especially United States.
What can we do to reverse this deadly trend? One thing that can be done is to let people know the real fact about weight loss and I will start that by letting you understand ten mistakes people make when trying to lose weight.
o Going on diets Dieting is a very lousy way to lose weight; this is because people tend to ignore all of the reasons why they are overweight in the first place.
It is not new that the way to lose weight is to eat less, exercise more, but the truth is no one over-eats because of physical hunger.
Am I right? Yes I am.
recent research shows that, the real reason why people eat too much has nothing to do with food.
That is why no amount of trying to deny yourself, will make any kind of lasting difference.
All it does is make people feel deprived, anxious and more depressed when the program fails.
It's not about the food; it is about why people don't stop eating the food, even when the physical hunger has been satisfied.
Do you now agree with me that going on diet is not the solution and it won't change anything at all? o Trying to avoid your favorite food This is also just as much a waste of time as dieting.
In fact, it's a form of dieting.
Since dieting can be defined for this purpose as any effort to control your body weight by controlling the volume or nature of food you take in at a particular time.
Don't get me wrong, I am not saying that placing yourself on a diet is not important.
It is a fact that some foods are better for you than others and it is also a fact that a proper amount of food you take in is healthier than too much or too little as well.
What I am saying is that you must shift your attention away from the food itself to the reason you eat to much.
Trying to avoid the food you like the most just makes you want them the more.
That's the way it is with anything that feels like self-denial and that's no way to live, that's not life.
o Diet pills What a funny and fake solution.
I think the dangerous practice is finally getting the publicity it deserves.
Almost every week we now hear the news of Ephedra and Ma huang.
More than 80 deaths and countless health problems have been directly linked to these natural stimulants.
Yes, we all want results and we want them fast, nobody agues with result, therein lies much of our problem.
We humans are not a patient bunch.
We always expect to get everything we want at the touch of a button and we believe that whatever problems that cannot be solved with a button's touch will be solved with pills.
But it doesn't work that way.
o Trying to avoid fattening foods in general This is another approach that doesn't work in real life because it's like you are constantly fighting your own desires.
You are trying to impose your will on your own powerful desire.
Will is no match for your deep craving desires.
It is a pure waste of time to try to fight your own desire.
The easy way to succeed at weight loss is to make changes in your personal programming .
The good news is that this is just easy and enjoyable.
o Fasting If you're originally not feeling hungry, if you are in good health and you have no unhealthy psychological issues motivating your decision to skip your meal, then it's not a problem.
But if you skip meal out of guilt, as part of food based weight control then you are making a big mistake.
o Using generic weight loss method You need to understand the fact that you are a different person from others, that's why things that work for your overweight neighbor may not work for you.
Your situation is unique and it needs a unique approach.
So make sure that your approach to weight loss is not generic, but is targeted to your own personal situation.
