Notice The 5 Top Weight Loss Rules For The Resistant Dieter

By Stephanie M Mitchell

Some people believe that "all diets work" and that our difficulty is not that we can't lose weight it is instead that we can't keep it off after it is lost. We get on the diet and lose the weight then we get off the diet and the weight comes back. With the exception of the resistant dieter who never drops a pound in the first place.

I have often tried various diets and various methods to lose weight. I would religiously follow the diet program and the scale would not move. Not a pound was lost. Some women's bodies are completely resistant to weight loss.

It is a biological anomaly for women. Men will always be able to lose weight and gain muscle easier and faster than women because women are biologically programmed to hold onto the fat. In the scarce event of a famine our bodies are programmed not only to make sure we stay alive but also to keep any babies that we may be carrying alive. Biologically it is just more challenging for women to lose weight.

But over the years I have learned quite a bit about what works to lose weight and what won't work. Here are the top five rules that I have come up with.

First rule is to Eat. That's right; never starve yourself if you want to have lasting weight loss. Eating regularly will keep you from getting excessively hungry which in turn will keep you from eating everything in site later on. It also keeps your metabolism going and your body will keep on burning calories. If your body thinks it is starving it will shut down your metabolism and conserve the fat so eat, at least 3 meals and as many as 6 small meals every day.

The second is to consume only quality food. That means nutritionally dense food that will benefit your body. Eating food that is lacking in nutritional value is a sure way to pile on the pounds. Also many cravings are actually caused by a nutritional lack so steer clear of any food that does not provide adequate nutrition.

The third rule is to eat protein with every meal. Protein is digested more slowly than carbohydrates and it will not create a sugar spike in your bloodstream. Eating protein will keep you fuller longer and you will end up consuming less later on.

The fourth rule is to be selective in the carbohydrates that you eat. Simple carbs, such as baked goods made with white flour and anything that is pure sugar will just spike your blood sugar and that makes you hungry again in a very short time. It will also go straight to your fat deposits, as it adds no nutritional value. Complex carbs, such as whole grains and vegetables have fiber, which keeps your digestive system running smoothly and they also provide high nutrition.

Fifth is to start an exercise program. Start moving. Take the stairs. Take a walk. Move more. You can begin slow and work your way up but exercise is crucial for long-term weight loss success.

It will probably be that you'll have to work at it. Few people with weight problems solve them once and for all for and never have to think about it again, but if you adhere to these rules the majority of the time, you will lose weight and you will be able to keep it off. - 17274
