diet control, hypnosis
and liposuction
Getting
the balance for weight loss exercises
Your metabolism
needs to increase to have any chance of reducing
your weight. However, it is little use exercising
if you continue to shovel into your mouth more
calories than you burn off. Weight loss is a simple
matter of balancing one against the other.
So, if you
can't face a big cut back in calorie intake, then
you will have to burn it off through weight loss
exercises.
But none of
us are experts on calorie control and we all have
a lot of difficulty with knowing what the manufacturers
are telling us on the labels of their processed
foods. So the ideal way for weight loss would
be to stick to basic raw food materials and cook
up your own meals from scratch .
I don't think
so ...... not with our busy lifestyle.
Where
do your weight loss exercises start ?
Even though
you know what you should do, you can't always
motivate yourself to do it.
So, you need
motivation for weight loss exercises.
Motivation,
motivation
Everyone gets
motivated in slightly different ways, sometimes
by shock tactics, often from low esteem or even
public humiliation. Whatever it takes to get you
onto a weight loss programme, do it.
good luck
Where
Diets Go Wrong
When we discover that we
are heavier than we want to be, we have a natural
inclination to eat less food. We may skip lunch
or eat only a tiny amount of our dinner in the
hope that if we eat less our body will burn off
some of its fat. But that is not necessarily true.
Eating less actually makes it more difficult to
lose weight.
Keep in mind that the human
body took shape millions of years ago, and at
that time there were diets. The only low-calorie
event in people's lives was starvation. Those
who could cope with a temporary lack of food were
the ones who survived. Our bodies, therefore,
have developed this built-in mechanism to help
us survive in the face of low food intake.
When researchers compare
overweight and thin people, they find that they
are roughly the same number of calories. What
makes overweight people different is the amount
of fat that they eat. Thin people tend to eat
less fat and more complex carbohydrates.
Losing weight through weight
loss exercises is not something one can do overnight.
A carefully planned weight loss exercises program
requires common sense and certain guidelines.
Unfortunately, there's a lot of misinformantion
floating around and lots of desperate people are
easily duped and ripped off.
Every day one can open
a magazine or newspaper and see advertisements
touting some new product, pill or patch that will
take excess weight off quickly. Everyone seems
to be looking for that "magic" weight
loss pill. Millions of Americans are trying to
lose weight, spending billions of dollars every
year on diet programs and products. Often they
do lose some weight. But, if you check with the
same people five years later, you will find that
nearly all have regained whatever weight they
lost.
A survey was done recently
to try and determine if any commercial diet program
could prove long-term success. Not a single program
could do so. So rampant has the so-called diet
industry become with new products and false claims
that the FDA has now stepped in and started clamping
down.
Weight loss exercises
Being seriously overweight
and particularly obesity can develop into a number
of diseases and serious health problems, and it
is now a known fact that when caloric intake is
excessive, some of the excess frequently is saturated
fat.
The myth is that people
get heavy by eating too many calories. Calories
are a consideration it's true, but overall they
are not the cause of obesity in America today.
Americans actually take in fewer calories each
day than they did at the beginning of the century.
If calories alone were the reason we become overweight,
we should all be thin. But we are not. Collectively,
we are heavier than ever. Partly, it is because
we are more sedentary now. But equally, as important
is the fact that the fat content of the American
diet has changed dramatically.
People who diet without
exercising often get fatter with time. Although
your weight may initially drop while dieting,
such weight loss consists mostly of water and
muscle. When the weight returns, it comes back
as fat. To avoid getting fatter over time, increase
your metabolism by exercising regularly.
Select an exercise routine
that you are comfortable with and remember that
walking is one of the best and easiest exercises
for strengthening your bones, controlling your
weight and toning your muscles.
Behavior
Modification before weight loss exercises
Habits, good or bad, are
formed by repetition. Eating habits are no exception.
If you are in the habit of snacking when you watch
TV, you were reinforcing that habit until finally
it became a part of you. Other habits are formed
in the same way. Some of these habits are: eating
while reading, eating the minute you come in the
house, eating when the kids come in from school,
eating when you come in from a date, or eating
while cooking dinner.
We also find that certain
moods and circumstances cause us to eat even if
we are not hungry. For example: anger, boredom,
fatigue, happiness, loneliness, the kids are finally
in bed, our spouse is out for the evening or out
of town, nervousness, anxiety, our spouse brings
home candy or ice cream, etc... all may trigger
an eating response. The list is endless. Habits
are hard to break. We must not only break old
habits, but we must make our goal to form new
ones in the same manner through repetition. Make
some daily commitments. Work to meet these commitments
each day whether you feel like it or not. Your
daily commitments will help you form good habits.
Remember: "It is easier to act your way into
a new way of feeling than it is to feel your way
into a new way of acting."
Resisting temptation is
difficult. However, if you succeed in resisting
the first time, it becomes easier to resist the
next time. Before long, you will have formed the
good habit of resisting temptation every time
it confronts you. If you yield to that temptation,
you will find it easier to yield the next time.
Because of the human weaknesses mentioned, we
must use what has become known among weight control
groups as behavior modification. It simply means
changing your behavior. These techniques work
only if you consistently repeat them, so that
they become a part of you.
New Habits for
weight loss exercises
1) Eat three meals a day.
Have two or three planned snacks daily.
2) Prolong your meals by:
eating slowly putting down your eating utensil
between each bite do not pick up your eating utensil
until you have swallowed the bite hesitating between
bites, even if you're eating finger foods
3) Choose a specific place
in your home or office to eat all of your meals.
This will become your "designated eating
place" and should not be changed. Try not
to eat at your desk at work. This would make you
prone to eat all day long and not just at meal
time.
4) Do not do anything except
eat when you sit down for a meal. Do not read,
watch TV, talk on the phone, work, etc. Make yourself
aware of the food you are eating. Focus on the
conversation and enjoy your meal.
5) Do not keep food in
any room in your house except the kitchen. Do
not keep food such as cookies out on the counters.
Do not store items in "see-through"
containers.
6) Do not buy junk food.
Neither your mate nor your children needs it.
7) If possible, serve individual
plates from the stove and do not serve family
style on the table. If this is not possible, put
the serving dishes on the opposite end of the
table.
8) Serve yourself on a
smaller plate.
9) Develop a habit of leaving
at least one bite of each item on your plate.
If you can master this, it becomes easier to stop
eating when you feel full. You will be used to
leaving food on your plate.
