When trying to lose weight, you must do two things: eat healthy meals at regular intervals throughout the day and increase your cardiovascular exercise.
Some people believe that dieting is a simple process. That is undoubtedly not the case, at least for the majority of people. It should be noted that if losing weight were simple, there would not be so many different diets, weight loss programmes, and gastric bands.
Having said that, some people find it very easy to exercise at the gym and work out on a regular basis, whereas others find it extremely difficult. As a result, it is unique to each individual.
A while back, an article was published on a website claiming that losing weight is a simple process. “Weight loss is simple,” it said. It’s difficult to understand how some people believe it’s simple. The website in question was dedicated to fitness and dieting, and it provided some excellent tips on how to stay in shape. The section on dieting, on the other hand, was inaccurate.
Weight loss is a science, but it is also a psychological process. Dieting science is all about burning more calories than you consume on a daily basis. The psychological aspect is a little different. You must train your brain to despise fattening foods. If you are unable to do so, you will be unable to stop eating those foods. That’s the way it works.
There are methods for dealing with both of these factors, both psychological and physical. Despite the fact that I am not a dietician or a professional trainer, I can tell you what has worked for me.
First and foremost, you should determine your BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate). To learn more about how this works, check out my hub titled “What Are the Components of a Healthy Balanced Diet?”
Once you know what your BMR is, you can calculate how many calories you should consume in a day. This will prevent you from gaining any extra weight.
The psychological aspect is the most difficult. This is what works for me:
Make a list of all the reasons why you want to lose weight. You can make the list as long or as short as you want. Next, write about what you would change if you could lose weight. Maybe you’d be able to play with the kids more; maybe it’d give you more confidence around people of the opposite sex. Perhaps you’ll just feel better in general. Make a list of everything that comes to mind.
The next thing to consider is what would happen if you did not lose weight. This is what would happen if you were not fit and healthy.
You should read that list at least once a day once you have it written down. Either in the morning or before going to bed. I’m sure after a few days of reading that list, you won’t want any more unhealthy foods.
