Don't Use The Word Diet As Diets Don't Work

If you want to lose weight, the word diet should be banned from your dictionary. Most diets focus on weight loss rather than fat loss. Losing weight more rapidly means losing muscle tissue which is body's major fat burning component. Diets are temporary and lifestyle change is important for successful weight loss. When you reach your target weight, you return to your normal eating habits so the weight usually comes back. Change the way you eat and CHANGE THE WAY YOU THINK. Don't ever say "I am dieting" because most diets fail. Diets don't work long term. On most of the diets, you are not eating stuff you will be eating for the rest of your life. You might lose a few pounds but once your diet is over, then you will most likely regain all of your weight again and chances are they'll bring a few pounds extra too.

Don't Beat Yourself Up Over a Bad Day - Weight Loss Tip

Weight Loss Tip - You are going to have moments of weakness and times when you overeat. Don't beat yourself up when you overindulge . Instead put yourself back on track the next day. Give yourself credit for everything you have been doing on other days. Every day is different, do the best you can do now. You can workout a little longer and burn some of those extra calories. When things go wrong stay away from faulty thinking and negative self talk and just re focus and try to make it right . Negative self talk is your greater enemy than food itself. Being too hard on yourself will only make it worse.
