Thousands of people will assess their health this month and vow to make major changes in their lifestyles! The less times you´ve participated in this ritual, the better chance you have of actually reaching your goal. A vast numbers of dieters have "been there, done that" and still need to do it again.
Why is lasting weight loss so elusive? It´s much easier to understand than you might imagine. The whole concept of being good a few days and then being bad a few days, and then repeating the cycle again, is called yo-yo dieting. Most people believe that if their good days outnumber their bad days, then they´re ahead of the game, right? Unfortunately, it doesn´t usually work that way!
How rapidly you lose weight and how long you keep that weight off, depends in large part on your metabolism. While some lucky individuals are blessed with efficient metabolisms, most of us are not. The absolute worst thing you can do for your metabolism is to yo-yo diet. Doing that keeps your metabolism completely out of kilter so that it never knows if it´s in starvation mode, where it holds onto every calorie, or burning mode.
The secret to rapid weight loss and lasting weight loss is as simple as consistency over time! You must be on a consistent diet so that your metabolism is able to recognize that it is in a losing mode and supposed to burn maximum calories. Once you establish that fact and your metabolism gets the picture, you´ll find that you lose steadily and consistently, week after week! Even more exciting is something that you´ll discover over time, that when you have a rare slip-up in your diet, your metabolism barely notices.
I think we can all agree that dieting is a "head game." If your head is in the right place, then temptations are powerless. You would be better off postponing your annual diet until you´re sure that you´re ready to make the commitment. Once you do commit, be consistent!
To give your metabolism every advantage, eat from all the major food groups in reasonable portions. Drink plenty of water to keep your cells hydrated, and exercise regularly. Give your body the gift of health and enjoy rapid and lasting weight loss by practicing consistency over time! You won´t be sorry that you did!
