If Body Fat Is Your Problem Then Lose It
Doesn't matter who you are or what your station in life is, a good percentage of us are carrying around too many inches and too much body fat that could be a real detriment to your health. The best mantra you could stick to when thinking about a diet is; "if you have body fat, lose it"; that way you can choose a diet or eating plan that will serve your purposes.
The hardest part of a weight loss plan is getting started, and if you are like most of us, trapped in a never ending cycle of "boy that looks good, yum"; to "geez, I have to get working on this body fat and lose it." There is so much on the market today aimed at people who want to lose weight but just can't bring themselves to make the move and get started, so we succumb to the ads and buy the products that never work, simply because we hope against hope that this will be the time that works. You can't do that; you have to start out looking for an eating plan and lifestyle change that will fit with your way of thinking and living so you can stick with it if you intend to lose weight.
Okay, so here you are on the couch again imitating a potato with a bag of popcorn and soda or beer, and watching some slim toned chick extol the virtues of the latest come on for weight loss---a magic pill that grabs all your body fat to lose it fast and sweep it out of your life forever----all you have to do is swallow, don't change anything else about your existence, and the fat will just melt away. Yeah, right. None of these fads work, but people get so desperate at some points in their lives that they will believe anything and fork over the money hoping that this time things will be different. Don't fall for it. There are lots of good things that happen to your body when you follow a balanced, nutritional weight loss plan with exercise; like reduced heart disease, fighting off diabetes, and lots more energy overall.
First things first if you are going to work on body fat and lose it. The main thing before anything else can happen for you, is that you must feel a positive feeling about what it is you are doing, believe in yourself, and develop the motivation to make it happen. Take a look at all those artery-clogging, greasy, fatty, dripping with sugar foods you have been existing on for most of your overweight life, and really look at them as adversaries. They are not a health benefit, but rather things that will eventually kill you if you don't stop the way you are living and eating right now. Make up your mind that, yes, those things are yummy, and yes they make you feel satisfied momentarily; but they are maintaining a fat person that you don't want to be; and it is time to get real with losing weight and leave them in the dust.
A good well balanced eating plan should be one where the nutrition is such that you get something from all the food groups every day with plenty of water to keep your system flushed and working at top capacity. You should develop good sleep habits as well so that your body has time to regenerate every night, and make sure you incorporate some form of exercise to keep your inner fires burning at top rate and your muscles are toned.
Now close your eyes and picture yourself and your mental state; just how much healthy living and lifestyle change can you put up with and stay the course. Emotions run our lives because we are human and we are built that way; so you must take stock of your emotional health as well as your physical, because the two go hand in hand and one must be considered as equally as the other. If you are not ready to make a big change in your way of thinking and your lifestyle so you can work on that body fat and lose it, then any diet plan will not work. You have to do the emotional work first and be ready for the pitfalls that your emotions can throw you into, that trigger your food cravings.
From now on, if you are going to make anything work for you with your body fat and how to lose it; you need to be in control of not only what and when you eat, but also your psyche and your emotions so you know why you eat like you do. Your new way of thinking will be the mantra "Got body fat, lose it" and if you are serious about this and develop a positive way of thinking; you can do anything you put your mind to. Remember not to fall victim to the jerks that are pushing the weight loss gimmicks; just take stock of yourself, find an eating plan that is nutritionally sound, drink lots of water, exercise on a regular basis, and rest with a good night's sleep every night. You will find that getting rid of that body fat is not as hard an undertaking as you thought it would be, and soon you will feel so much better and so energized that you'll wonder why you waited so long to make your new life happen.
