The Best fat loss & weight control program is:
The one
that involves a variety of learning methods and practices designed to keep you
motivated and increases the likelihood that you will successfully achieve your
desired level of weight. In case of study guide type program, it should have
the combination of explanation and step-by-step instructions for mastering the
material presented.
Your motivation to participate in any weight loss program
should come a deep need or desire to weight loss, look and feel better than you
now do! At this point you may be acutely aware of the problems associated with
excess fat.
Recent medical research considers obesity to be one of America’s
deadliest diseases. Excess fat is the cause of many serious physical and psychological
problems. These include low self-esteem, depression, just to name few.
To rid your-self of excess fat you may have tried many
diets and exercise programs and became discouraged when they didn’t seem to
work. The truth is that excess body fat has relatively little to do with the
amount of food you eat.
Instead, scientific researchers have discovered that
your body fat is regulated actually by a control center in your brain called as: “Weight Regulating Mechanism.”
Your weight regulating mechanism has a set point
that determines the amount of fat it considers necessary for your body’s need
and then works to maintain that level. Understanding the psychology of weight
control enables you systematically to burn unwanted fat and lower your brain’s
setpoint.
Create your-self the following list, and put it in a
highly visible place, so you focus your thinking on the positive outcomes your
Diet program application stores for you:
Weight control is an achievable goal 
You can learn how to maintain your new level of leanness.
You will look different - much more attractive.
You will relate to people around you with newfound confidence
You will have more energy and more stamina.
You will have more drive to achieve you other goals in life.
Best of all your health will improve.
That list of benefits must excite your thinking as to what
you will achieve... And you must remember:
Diets don’t work! Your brain interprets a low calorie diet
as starvation and sets up its defenses to keep you from losing fat. Diets only
make you fatter.
The initial weight loss from low calorie diets is due
primarily to a loss of water and muscle tissue – not fat.
Compare
your current behavior against the model to establish Your benchmarks for change.
People who have achieved their goals become inspirational
examples or role models for others to follow. How they achieved their goals,
the strategies, skills, thinking & behavioral patterns they used, become
blueprints for people who want to achieve what the model achieved. Models of
achievement blaze the trail of possibility for us – breaking down the barriers
of impossibility.
We think "If he or she did it, then so can I.”
In developing the model, the criterion you use to define a
lean, high-energy person was a person who, when he or she was overweight, had
at least 20 pounds of excess fat to lose – and was permanently able to lose it.
Once you become familiar with the characteristics of the lean, high-energy
model, you will be able to pattern yourself after the positive habits you deem
so desirable and valuable.
The purpose of this model development is not only to
help you lose your excess fat, but also to enhance your overall physical,
mental and emotional self and probably don’t need to change your life style too
much.
As you complete this self-assessment be as realistic and
as honest as you can in comparing your current behaviors and habits to the model
of the lean high-energy person, and compare where you currently stand in
relation to the behaviors and habits.
