Weight Loss Secrets: What's The Mind Got To Do With It?

By Alex Martin

Loosing weight has become a life principle of the present; it seems vital to know everything about weight loss diets, how to lose weight, diet pills and other weight loss based topics, as they are present in almost any discussion. Being more than a necessity, following a diet is a popular habit, which can improve significantly our health.

Pressured by time and lack of accurate information, people search for quick weight loss diets, which provide them an eating plan for each day of the week. Unfortunately, it seems that every time, the diet fails and the extra continues to be a problem. Of course, we blame the society, as it offers so many temptations: a large variety of food, places to go out... And food is everywhere.

Among the wide range of weight loss diets, only a few are truly effective and healthy. Most of them promote starvation, the lack of essential nutrients (lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates), leading to fatigue; thus, most of us quit in just a few days. Is it possible to get rid of the extra weight in no time? Read the following lines to find out more!

Losing weight is highly emotional and there are a lot of mental issues that can totally derail a diet or exercise program. Give some serious thought to the attitudes and mental patterns that may have contributed to your weight gain so far. Be prepared to deal with the emotional issues that come up, rather than hiding from them.

Before we go any further, I want to set something straight... Don't even think to start following a fast weight loss diet in times of intellectual or physical efforts. You will be affected by lack of energy and fatigue, achieving the worse results when it comes about diet and social/ private life. In addition, there may appear unwanted side effects. Why not to keep a diet on holidays?

What about being invited to an important event, such as a wedding or a class meeting? In this kind of circumstances, it seems necessary to follow a fast weight loss diet; but are we sure about the results?

Things like diet pills, people should use care when using. The FDA does not regulate a large portion of these pills, so they have no evaluation on the claims in which they make. In addition, most of the pills that you buy over the counter do not have proof to whether they are safe or effective.

Loosing more than 1-2 kg per week, the muscle mass will lost along with an insignificant amount of fat. Don't forget that muscles are active tissues, being vital for a healthy metabolism; each factor that affects the muscles, affects the metabolism, which will become slower. The need of eating will increase, because the body will feel threatened, making reserves of fat.

As you will eat more, you'll have the impression that you're even hungrier. As a result, the diet will fail.

Physical exercises proved to be truly helpful in weight loss, along with a healthy lifestyle. Remember that, in order to lose fat, the body needs most of his functions, so he must receive food that is rich in nutrients and vitamins. Counting calories is useful, as long as you don't consume fewer calories than needed.

Now, you know something that few others realize at the very beginning of a weight loss journey. You know that you will have to deal with emotional issues and dig through your mental baggage. Now and only now are you ready to tackle real lifestyle changes. - 17274
