Secrets Of Successful Weight Loss

by: Meri Raffetto

Weight loss?if we could just find the right diet we would achieve our goals, right? The sad truth is that weight loss diets, for the most part, don?t work and are becoming a thing of the past. Research shows that 85-95% of dieters regain any weight they?ve lost within 3-5 years. Most diets simply dictate what to eat and how much, and usually don?t teach us to make better food choices once we go off. When we go back to our old habits the weight comes back and we end up in a constant battle to get the weight down again.

When you quit diets and instead change to eating nutrient rich foods and enjoy fun foods in moderation, weight loss can be the natural result. Other well-known benefits include increased energy, vitality and freedom from disease. Additionally, if you stay active and eat in moderation you don?t have to give up the foods you enjoy. Yes, that means you can enjoy cake, cookies, and other treats and still lose weight when you learn how to balance them appropriately in your diet. So the BIG question is: Why don?t more of us choose a health-promoting lifestyle vs. the ?diet d?jour? in our world today?

Part of the reason is that we are conditioned in the diet mentality that the answer lies in a secret formula that will only work if we follow it rigidly. Let?s face it, we like the bells and whistles. Instead of following another weight loss diet we should pay attention to those people who have lost weight and kept it off. What did they do?

People who have successfully achieved their ideal weight and better health without dieting report the following success strategies:

? They made a commitment to changing habits long-term vs. just losing weight

? They became educated about sound nutrition principles

? They learned to cope with emotions and stress without food

? They consciously eat when their hungry and stop when their full

? They shift the focus from ?looking good? to honoring their health and well-being

? They learn to adjust portions or food intake to match activity level

? They don?t sabotage themselves, when they blow it

? They seek ongoing support as needed to stay motivated

Making positive change is possible with the right commitment, education, and support. Rather than spending precious energy and time ?going on a diet?, make a different choice. Choose high-level health so you can lose weight once and keep it off for a lifetime.

The Glycemic Index: Key To Weight Loss Or Just Another Diet Gimmick?

by: Tom Venuto

The glycemic index (GI) is a scale that measures how quickly carbohydrate foods are broken down into glucose. The original purpose for the glycemic index was to help diabetics keep their blood sugar under control. The glycemic index has recently attracted a lot of attention in the bodybuilding, fitness and weight loss world and has even become the central theme in numerous best-selling diet books as a method to choose the foods that are best for losing weight.

According to advocates of the glycemic index system, foods that are high on the GI scale such as rice cakes, carrots, potatoes, or grape juice are "unfavorable" and should be avoided because high GI foods are absorbed quickly, raise blood sugar rapidly and are therefore more likely to convert to fat or cause health problems.

Instead, we are urged to consume carbohydrates that are low on the GI scale...

Weight Loss and Fitness - Facts not Fiction

Weight Loss and Fitness - Facts not Fiction

by: Martin Harshberger

The world of weight loss and fitness is certainly vast, and the American consumer can absolutely get lost in the thousands of easy effortless and ostly useless ads if not careful. With my books and research I want to clear the air about the various myths and false statements regarding our health and fitness that have clearly muddied the waters for many Americans.

What I want to stress in particular is that there is no magic answer, potion, or diet pill that is going to make everything better. The ad on TV where the pretty lady says "it's easy. you'll love it", is appealing to our need for instant gratification with no effort. We don't want to hear the facts so we continue to look for the instant solution. If there was a magic diet pill, or diet plan, over 60% of Americans wouldn't be overweight, in spite of spending over $35 billion annually on diet products.

Common Sense Approach To Weight Loss After A Pregnancy

by: Christoph Puetz

Every woman gains weight while she is pregnant. This is the way how it is and always has been. And it is as it is: It is also perfectly normal for a woman to want to lose weight after pregnancy. There is absolutely nothing wrong with aspiring to get yourself back into shape right after having giving birth to a baby. In fact - weight loss to a certain degree is certainly encouraged. Overweight just causes different health issues in the mid to long term.

However - it is very important that the woman takes a common sense approach when she is attempting to lose weight after a pregnancy. Keep in mind, the weight will not come off overnight, but it will come off if you "attack" it in the right way.
