The Top 10 Weight Loss Secrets

For many, weight loss seems like a difficult thing. Maybe you've tried things in the past...diets, workouts, pills, creams, ANYTHING to help get the weight off, but it seems like no matter how hard you try, it either doesn't come off at all, or it comes right back on.

Why do you think that is?

I believe that successful weight loss is based on a combination of sound nutrition principles, and regular exercise. Sounds easy, right? But here's the catch...THIS IS JUST THE BASIC OUTLINE FOR SUCCESSFUL WEIGHT LOSS. So what are the underlying reasons? Why does it seem like some people just eat whatever they want and stay skinny as a rail, and for some people, no matter what they try, or how hard they try it, just can't seem to get results?

I've created a list for you containing principles, that if taken to heart, and APPLIED to your life, will produce tremendous results. Listed here are the KEYS to losing weight, and keeping it off for good.

Now remember...I can provide the knowledge, but it is up to YOU to take the action. In the words of Emmerson, "Good thoughts are no better than good dreams, unless they be executed." In other words, it's not enough to simply know these weight loss secrets, you have to APPLY them to your life. I can not stress the importance of this one seemingly simple step.

Rest assured, no one is going to do this for you. You got yourself to where you are now, and it is YOU who has the power to turn it around, and get yourself to where, and to who, you want to be. But the AMAZING, TREMENDOUS thing about all of this is that YOU DO HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE. I'll say that again...YOU DO HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE! Know this, understand this, and live this, and I GUARANTEE your success in weight loss, or any other venture you choose to pursue in life.

1. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOURSELF

It appears as though many people want to shift blame for their current situation to anyone, or anything but themselves. Whether it's finances, relationships, work, family, or health related, as humans we sometimes have a tendency to create external reasons for our problems. If you ever find yourself saying, "If only so and so had done this differently, I could have..." or, " If only I had this, I could..." or anything like this, I suggest you stop and take a good look at the real reason why you don't have exactly what you want in your life. Is it because of other people and circumstances, or is the real reason because of a lack of action, or purpose on your part?

Now, I realize this can be a difficult thing to do, and I don't mean to imply that everything in every person's life is the result of a lack of action. I understand circumstances like the death of a loved one, or being diagnosed with a terminal illness can be devastating events in a person's life, and can be entirely unrelated to a lack of action.

What I am suggesting, however, is that you have the ability to respond to every situation in your life, and make the best of it. I'm saying YOU HAVE THE POWER TO CHOOSE how you interpret events, and circumstances in your life. If you choose to be a victim, then that's exactly what you'll be. If you choose to blame other people, or reasons for your inability to lose weight, then you are NOT taking responsibility for yourself or your life, and I guarantee you WILL NOT LOSE WEIGHT!

If you've ever found yourself saying..."I just don't have the time to exercise...I don't like healthy foods...No matter what I try I can't lose weight...It's just in my genes to be heavy," or anything like this, then just STOP!

I've got news for you, my friends. You have the time, you just don't choose to make it. You may like healthy foods, you just choose not to try, because you like the taste of unhealthy ones. You haven't tried everything to lose weight, and if you chose a sensible plan, and STUCK to it, you could, and would lose weight. And no matter what your parents, brother, sister, aunt or uncle's waist line looks like, I GUARANTEE you have the power to make your waist line look exactly the way you want it to.

Step 1 is to stop making excuses, and start taking responsibility for your current physical state, and realize that you created this situation, but more importantly YOU HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE, TO CREATE A NEW SITUATION, AND THE LIFE AND BODY YOU WANT!!!

2. FIND OUT WHY?

This is one of THE MOST IMPORTANT STEPS in losing weight and keeping it off....the big WHY. Why do you eat? I don't mean to offend anyone, but I'm going to assume that if you're overweight, you don't only eat because you're hungry, but for a variety of other reasons as well. A lot of people eat because they're bored, or tired, or they are just used to eating when they arrive home from work, or when they watch TV at night, or when they go out with friends, and the list goes on and on.

For many people, eating is a deeply emotional, and psychological issue. People deal with painful experiences in their past or present, and with insecurities in their lives by eating. Food as comfort. This is one of the most destructive patterns a person can have, and it goes in direct opposition to weight loss success.

I am not suggesting to know the specific reason why you eat, but I invite you, as painful as it may be, to really spend some time with yourself, and identify why it is that you eat, what times of day you eat, what emotions you experience when you eat, and what emotions you experience when you overeat. By doing so you will unlock a door that many people never even get close to. I can not stress the importance of this step. Until you determine WHY you eat, you will not be able to fix the problem.

So, step 1 is taking responsibility, realizing you have the power to change, and step 2 is understanding why you eat.

3. THERE ARE MANY PATHS...THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY

As you probably know, there is a TON of information available regarding diets, proper nutrition, weight loss, strength training, and anything else you could ever desire to know about health and fitness. Some claim low carbs...some no carbs...some say only the right kinds of carbs...some say meat only...some say fruit and veggies only, some say no dairy, and some say no FOOD! So how do you know which diet and exercise program is the one for you? How do you know which path to choose?

The answer is to educate yourself. All of these diets, to varying degrees, will produce some kind of success...the key for you as a health conscious consumer, concerned about your own specific body and its specific needs, is to find out why each of these diets work. What is the effect of "good" carbs on the body? What is the effect of "bad" carbs? What happens, on a physiological level, if you eat no carbs, or only carbs...I want you to understand the importance of finding out WHY.

The truth is, that there is a TON of information available, and there are a TON of different ways to produce the results you want, and to lose as much weight as you want. The key is to really understand why a diet or exercise routine works. And perhaps even more important is to choose a program that works for YOU. One which you feel fits your nutritional requirements based on your individual food preferences, and one which will support the exercise regimen you decide to follow.

So remember, step 1 is to take responsibility for yourself, step 2 is to understand why you eat, and step 3 is to realize there is no one single food, or exercise combination that will produce results. MANY different things have the potential to help you reach your goals. The key is to understand WHY it works, and then CHOOSE the one that is right for you.

4. DIET

Your diet, the food you choose to eat, is a crucial step on your road to weight loss success. As I stated earlier, I believe weight loss success is achieved through a combination of sound nutritional principles and regular exercise. However, it seems as though much of the information available points toward an exact combination of foods, or the elimination of others, in order to successfully lose weight. I am here to tell you, this is not the case. You will be thin if you eat fewer calories than you expend. Plain and simple. But if you do not take to heart and APPLY the principles listed above, no matter which "diet" you choose, ultimately weight loss success will not be yours.

So, how do you know which diet to choose? The answer is as simple as understanding what your goal is, and how you intend to arrive there. Do you want to lose weight? Are you going to do a lot of aerobic exercise? Are you going to do a lot of anaerobic exercise? How often do you plan on exercising? How active are you in your daily life outside of exercise?

Once you have arrived at answers to these questions, you can begin to determine the nutritional requirements for you, your body, and your tastes. Based on your activity levels and your goals, you should eat the appropriate amount of carbohydrates, fats, and protein to supply your body with sufficient nutrients. The key is to choose the healthiest foods possible that fit your tastes, and that meet your requirements. Diets are not one size fits all.

Your body's main source of energy is carbohydrates, which come in two forms; simple and complex. Complex are starches from grains and vegetables. Examples of simple are sucrose, lactose, fructose, and glucose. No matter which type of carbohydrate you ingest, it ALL gets converted to glucose, commonly referred to as blood sugar. The only difference then, between the simple and the complex carbohydrates, is the rate at which your body digests them. How much, at what times, and which type of carbohydrate you consume should be based on your tastes, your activity levels, and your goals.
Protein is another fundamental part of a sound eating routine. Protein does unquestionably more for the body than manufacture muscle. Proteins in the body as catalysts, play out various capacities, including keeping your cerebrum, heart, and stomach related framework working appropriately. Protein is produced using 20 distinctive amino acids, 9 of which are considered "fundamental" amino acids. Fundamental on the grounds that your body doesn't be able to produce these 9, it must acquire them from your eating regimen. On the off chance that you eat creature based sustenances, odds are you don't have anything to stress over. In any case in the event that you eat a veggie lover diet, at that point you should make it a point to eat the correct mix of nourishments containing plant proteins which will supply your body with the 9 basic amino acids. So what amount of protein do you need? Once more, likewise with sugars, the sum you need depends to a great extent upon your objectives, and your movement levels.

Fats are regularly misconstrued. Individuals avoid high fat nourishments, reliably searching for "low" or "non-fat" sustenances, when if weight reduction is the worry, individuals ought to be undeniably progressively worried about the calories, and the fixings in their nourishment, and not simply the measure of fat that it has. Fat tends to make individuals "fat" since it is so calorie thick. One gram of fat has 9 calories, while a gram of starches, or protein has just 4. There are various sorts of fat, some of which are solid for the body, and some which are definitely not. We need, by and large, 15-25 grams of fat a day to give our body legitimate nourishment, and to guarantee we have enough unsaturated fats to retain the fat solvent nutrients. Your body can make soaked, and monounsaturated fat from different nourishments that you eat, anyway it can not produce the unsaturated fats, or the omega-6 and omega-3. You should get these legitimately from sustenances which contain them. These unsaturated fats are incorporated with the tissues of your heart, cerebrum, and other crucial organs, and must be renewed through your eating routine.

Satisfactory utilization of nutrients and minerals additionally assumes a significant job in sound nourishment. Basically there is nobody nourishment you ought to have, and nobody sustenance you shouldn't need to achieve weight reduction achievement. The appropriate response lies in understanding your body's necessities, and in satisfying them with solid, entire sustenances devoured with some restraint. When you figure out what nourishment is directly for you, MAKE A PLAN AND STICK TO IT!!! Try not to attempt it for seven days at that point go to something different. Information, PLANNING, and CONSISTENCY are the keys to a fruitful eating routine technique.

5. EXERCISE

Exercise is such a significant apparatus in getting more fit, however in keeping it off. This is on the grounds that activity is a fundamental segment of a sound way of life. Ordinary exercise will enable you to look and feel good. It will build your vitality, inspiration, quality, certainty and mental self portrait.

Other than helping you look and feel extraordinary, customary exercise brings down your hazard for building up various illnesses, wellbeing conditions, and malignant growths. It can improve a mind-blowing nature.

People were intended to move! We have unpredictably planned skeletal, strong, respiratory and cardiovascular frameworks which give us gigantic potential. Our bodies, similar to our brains, are fit for enormous things. People have had the option to climb 30,000 feet to the highest point of mount Everest. They contend in long distance races, marathons, and games which draw the consideration of a huge number of individuals around the globe. Each body is equipped for extraordinary things. Each individual has huge potential. I'm not saying you have to ascend a mountain, or contend in a race, however I am disclosing to you that on the off chance that you need to, YOU CAN DO IT. What's more, practice is the key.

To the extent weight reduction is concerned, the sort of activity isn't as significant as the sum. You simply need to get out and move. Run. Walk. Swim. Bicycle. Skip. Hop rope. Lift loads. Simply GET MOVING!

Exercise will quicken weight reduction, and it will help give you the body you need. You can shed pounds through applying the above standards to your life, yet you can just get a solid, conditioned, sound body through ordinary exercise, and explicitly through quality preparing. You can't overlook, or avoid this. In the event that you need to get thinner and be sound, and you're not kidding about it, at that point quit fooling around about beginning an activity program...TODAY!

6. Responsibility

So as to make weight reduction progress, you should focus on your program. In the wake of settling on your particular prerequisites and picking an eating routine and exercise system, you should COMMIT to your program, and you should submit 100%.

Realize that in the event that you've made the past strides, at that point your prosperity is ensured on the off chance that you focus on the program. In the event that you lose 1lb in seven days, you have demonstrated to yourself that YOU HAVE THE ABILITY to get more fit. You have picked a way that works, and ideally it's one you can keep up as away of life, and one that meets your particular needs. Your capacity to lose 1lb in seven days, moves into 52lbs in a year, and 104 lbs in two years, etc, etc.

Regardless of how much weight you need to lose, YOU CAN DO IT! In any case, you should initially focus on the program. You should state to yourself, that regardless, you will finish on your responsibility, and pursue the way you have picked, until you arrive at your objective. Focus on your program!

7. CONSISTENCY

This is maybe the absolute most significant thing any individual can do to make weight reduction progress. CONSISTENCY, CONSISTENY, CONSISTENCY! Have you at any point gotten some information about the main three most significant things for business achievement, and heard them state "area, area, and area!" Well, for weight reduction achievement it's "consistency, consistency, and consistency!" It's insufficient to assume liability, and to discover our why, and to pick an arrangement of assault, you should be predictable. Individuals who are ineffective at getting thinner attempt a few unique things through the span of the year, continually searching for the "right" or "best" or "quickest" approach to lose the weight, and continually changing their arrangement of assault. Individuals who are dainty and solid reliably do something very similar, and pursue a similar arrangement throughout each and every day for a considerable length of time.

This point is SO significant. It's little changes in an inappropriate direction...an gathering of unfortunate propensities throughout the years that lead to weight gain for a great many people. You don't simply wake up one day over weight, and you won't simply wake up one day and have the body you need. Be that as it may, the uplifting news is, the procedure CAN be turned around in precisely the same way it was made. By rolling out little improvements throughout your life, in the privilege direction...by gathering great propensities, and rehearsing them consistently, you WILL gain ground each day.

The significant thing here isn't to get discouraged...to be steady with your arrangement. This implies in the event that you go out to eat one night, and have WAY such a large number of calories, mixed drinks, or whatever, DO NOT ADJUST FOR IT THE NEXT DAY. Yesterday is gone, and what you have to do is simply continue your ordinary, day by day schedule, get back on the way you have picked. By modifying your way further, and rolling out more improvements to eat less, or practice more the day after you eat excessively or miss an exercise, you will fall significantly assist from the way of consistency. Whenever fit, sound individuals over humor one day, they essentially continue their typical method for eating the following day. They don't rebuff, or starve themselves. Everything comes back to ordinary. Consistency is the standard. It is safe to say that you are starting to perceive what I'm discussing?

It's so essential to pick a way, yet considerably increasingly imperative to STAY ON IT! Keep in mind, it's the aggregation of good and sound propensities that produce weight reduction achievement, and the best way to amass is to BE CONSISTENT!

8. Responsibility

Responsibility gives you extra help on your voyage toward a more beneficial you. This is the place the assistance of a relative, or an expert, can empower you, and help keep you propelled when you start to have questions. Being considered responsible to a program through someone else is ESSENTIAL to your prosperity. Until you create appropriate dietary patterns, and until you grow better approaches for pondering yourself, sustenance, and exercise, having someone else to guide and help you en route can have a significant effect among progress, and disappointment.

Discover someone,...a mentor, coach, companion or relative who is focused on you, and your prosperity. After you have assumed liability for yourself, decided why you eat, picked a way, figured out what your healthful necessities are, and contrived an arrangement for both your eating and your activity, discover an individual who will keep you responsible to the arrangement. It's A LOT harder to skirt an exercise, undermine your eating routine, or to lose consistency if there is somebody hanging tight for you to appear and work out.

The ideal individual to keep you responsible relies upon you. Simply ensure it's somebody you trust, somebody with appropriate learning about you and your objectives, and somebody who will give you the correct parity of consolation, backing, and control you have to accomplish your objectives.

9. TIME

This is a significant piece of the weight reduction procedure, and one which is regularly lessened, or left out of customary weight reduction philosophy. I am here to sort the record out for you. This won't occur over night. This didn't occur at the same time, and it won't "unhappen" at the same time either.

I am sorry to learn this to you, yet I'm certain on the off chance that you've attempted things before, fruitlessly, to get in shape, you most likely are starting to comprehend this...THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A QUICK FIX. Projects, or individuals who attempt to sell you, or reveal to you generally are out for your cash, not your prosperity.

On the off chance that this isn't what you need to hear, I am heartbroken. In the event that you don't trust me, that is OK as well. However, how often have you attempted, what number of various "quick" approaches to drop weight from have you attempted, that haven't worked?

This is on the grounds that it's a procedure. It's a way of life change. Not a fast change in your eating regimen, or the abrupt disposal of a solitary sustenance, or the appropriation of an enchantment one. It's tied in with LEARNING how to eat. Step by step instructions to consider sustenance appropriately, and how to join solid nourishments and diets into your life, for your objectives, and how to do it in a way that you can keep up after some time.

Solid, economical weight reduction happens at a pace of anyplace between 1-2 lbs every week. Believe it or not. Presumably not what you needed to hear. In any case, THAT'S THE TRUTH. A pound may not appear much. Be that as it may, the AMAZING thing about this is in the event that you keep it up for a year, BE CONSISTENT in the way you've decided for one year, and that 1lb transforms into 52lbs. 104lbs in two years. See what I'm getting at here?

Acknowledge that it requires some investment. You won't see achievement medium-term, however don't give that a chance to demoralize you. That 1lb you lost, in the event that you have applied the above standards, is GONE FOREVER. Try not to be discouraged...BE EXCTATIC at your 1lb misfortune!
