Want To Lose More Weight? | Healthy Diet Tips

In order to permanently succeed with your body transformation you must find your "supreme objective" and make all other elements in your life conform around it. Dwight D. Eisenhower once said, "We succeed only as we identify in life, or in war, or in anything else, a single over-riding objective, and make all other considerations bend to that one objective"

And it's not enough to just say the reason(s) out loud either, they must be written down.

As a contract between no one else but you and the good Lord these words will form a powerful force that will not only propel you forward on the journey you're about to embark, but keep you glued to the wheel of your ship (your body) through the worst of storms.

I know, this sounds a little corny. In fact, I've had many people tell me they read this technique but never applied it because they thought it was mumbo-jumbo -- feel-good, sound-good instructions without bite. It was only when they finally applied it, after failed attempts at changing their body, did they realize it worked like crazy.

Why does it work? What you've done by drafting this contract is you created a bonded instrument between your moral and physical self.

But the most important thing it does is remind you, everyday, of your promise. This is why you must place the contract in a conspicuous place where you have to read it. Drafting a contract but not reading it every day is the same as never having drafted it in the first place. The bathroom mirror, or your nightstand (where I kept mine) are good places.

In 1998 I won a National body transformation contest. While speaking with one of the executives of the company that sponsored the contest, I was told something that, at first, was a revelation to me. They told me that out of 20,000+ contestants that entered that year, only 7% finished their 12-week program. Most had dropped out by the half way point or way before.

At first this was a surprise to me. I asked myself how could so many people give up and fail to finish? I couldn't understand nor comprehend it because there wasn't one moment during my program that I even remotely considered the a possibility of giving up. My reason was too powerful (Lesson 1), I made a decision to change (Lesson 2), I had a deadline to meet (Lesson 3), and I reviewed my goals and contract every single day - no lie (Lesson 4).

But then I remembered the year before. I had entered the previous year's contest and had dropped out too...just like 93% of the contestants did the year I won. And I didn't do any of these lessons I'm revealing to you now.

Because I failed the year before I knew I'd be in the same boat again unless I put all the advantages I could on my side. I studied the principles common to successful people. Then I tailored them to maximize success for me. This principle is one of the 20 I came up with.

Would I have been as successful had I not utilized this particular principle? I doubt it. Reading my goals every night had a profoundly positive effect on my mind. After I started my program I honestly didn't think I would win, yet I knew I would be successful at transforming my body.

Which group do you want to be a part of, the successful 7%, or the defeated 93%? You've heard it said before that the power to succeed lies in your hands. But this ethereal statement is never backed up with the "how-to's" of success.

By following these principles you can harness an internal support system that will help you transcend problems or obstacles you will encounter along your path to a new body. And there will never be a doubt that you WILL ccomplish your goals.

Weight Loss Strategies

No matter who you are, losing weight is a challenge because you are aiming to change some basic habits about how much you eat, what you eat and how much you exercise. Yet it's actually easy to lose weight. All you have to do is eat good food as part of a healthy lifestyle. So what about all the fad diets? The one-size fits all approach is always going to cause problems. In this case, the diets never look back to see why you put on weight. They usually focus on eliminating specific foods (even some healthy foods), working on the basis that you do not need to count calories or learn anything about the food you eat. All you have to do is follow the book's rules and, like magic, you will lose weight. The author will promise your weight loss will be fast and easy - particularly if you buy the supplements carrying labels like "fat busters". Because it's all so easy, there's no need to exercise. The result is almost inevitable. After a short burst of enthusiasm, you grow bored with the limited range of food and go back to your old eating habits. The little weight you lost comes back, starting a yo-yo cycle of weight loss and gain that's bad for your health.

Start off by working out your BMI. Below 25 is in the healthy range. That's your target. To get there, you must eat less. Additional weight comes when you eat more calories than you need. When you reduce your food intake, your body burns stored fat to keep you going. Except, when you start eating less, you feel hungry and this is demotivating. The answer is eating more fibre which keeps you feeling fuller for longer. It's also good for keeping your digestive system healthy. That means eating more whole grains, fresh fruit and vegetables everyday. Alongside this, cut out all the sodas and sweetened drinks. Drinking water is good for you. If you miss the tastes, drink the zero-calorie versions of your favorite sodas. No more snacking. All those snacks are full of calories. Aim to eat at regular times every day, training your body to expect less food.

Finally, it's a good idea to stop eating in fast-food outlets. Burgers and deep-fried food is full of calories. If you find this a sacrifice too far, have half your meal packed and take it home. Learn about food and start counting calories. Should you find your motivation slipping, there are some appetite suppressants on the market to keep the hunger pangs at bay until you are more used to eating less. The drug with the best record for safety and effectiveness is phentermine. This has been on the market since the 1950s and is the trusted short-term way to keep hunger under control. Ask your doctor about it or buy phentermine online. Used alongside a healthy diet and a good exercise regime, you will soon find your weight dropping. More importantly, eating fewer calories as part of your lifestyle will prevent the weight returning.
