Why Weight

Weight Loss Tips For Lifetime Change!

By Jill Rice


"Why can't I lose weight?" Is this a question you have been asking yourself? Have you had a lifetime of poor eating habits? Do you starve yourself for days, and then binge?

The truth about how your body processes food may be shocking to you. Your body was designed to hold onto food when it feels that there is a shortage of food. This can happen on a daily basis or on a weekly basis. Therefore, if you are only eating one meal a day, your body is holding onto every calorie. Likewise, if you eat a very restricted diet all week, then binge all weekend, your body is holding onto those calories. Another common situation; when a person has been overeating for a period of time, then decides to go on a diet and drastically reduces their calorie intake, the body holds onto all the calories it can. This is referred to as the starvation mode. It is the same process that animals experience when they go into hibernation.

So how can you loose those extra pounds? Grazing is the best way to eat, which simply means, eating a small amount throughout the day. However this just isn't realistic for most people, a program that is very successful is; having six small meals each day. If you have been overeating for a period of time, it is best to slowly reduce your calorie intake - decreasing your calorie intake by 100 to 500 calories per day each week. If you have been only eating one meal a day for an extended time, it may take a couple of weeks of eating six meals each day before your body comes out of the starvation mode. Equally important is your food combination. It is important that that you eat proteins, carbohydrates, fats, etc. in the correct combination. Don't forget that the fluids you are consuming also need to be considered.

Reducing calories in an educated, planned way will result in weight loose. To help to tone and shape your body while you are loosing those extra pounds you should also develop a good exercise program. This will also speed up your weight loss. Remember you may lose inches faster than actual pounds, to help you realize this, take measurements of your body before you start your new lifestyle, then every week. Want to develop those six-pack abs? This is done through diet and exercise - the correct exercise.
