Ever wonder why all those diets you tried never worked to help you lose weight for good? Maybe that’s because they never fit your lifestyle, personality, or unique weight loss problem. For example, if you are someone who tends to overeat, a diet is not the answer. For someone whose lifestyle is fast-paced, weighing diet foods daily isn’t going to work. And when it comes to exercise, I’m sure most of us who have tried to lose weight have often bought at least one piece of exercise equipment that we used once and then collected dust as we went through it every day. The reason this happens so often is because we choose the wrong exercise program for our lifestyle and/or personality. Because we didn’t know better, and not many diet/exercise companies were willing to teach us.
It’s time to tackle your weight loss problem and lose weight your way.
Maybe you only have a few pounds to lose and that’s why you’re reading this, and I applaud you for taking action quickly and getting serious about losing those few pounds before there’s a chance they’ll add up and become a real problem. .
But maybe you, like me, have struggled with a weight problem for a long time and almost despaired because nothing seems to work.
Being overweight is a tricky thing because, let’s face it, most of the time it’s just because food is so appealing to us that we crave junk food or overeat because it tastes so good. It is only a very small minority who are overweight due to medical circumstances, even if this is often used as an excuse for being overweight.
An alcoholic may decide to give up alcohol and know that he will never be able to touch it again, or there is a very good chance that it will come to dominate his life once again. But with a food addict, you can’t avoid food because you need to eat to survive! That is why losing weight is so difficult for many people who are addicted to food.
If you are a drug addict or alcoholic, there are many resources available to help you with your addiction. Overeating or craving too much junk food is also an addiction. It’s a painful addiction, and it’s obvious to everyone by the size of the person who is addicted to food.
To lose weight for good, you will need to do some soul searching to determine which weight loss program will work for you, because if you choose the wrong one, you will fail and blame the diet. It’s not that diets don’t work, they do. But if it’s not right for YOU, you can be sure it won’t stick.
Simply put, the first step is to understand why you are gaining weight in the first place. Once you understand this, you need to determine why you continue to be overweight, and basically these are the reasons:
- Lack of knowledge about nutrition and the benefits of exercise.
- Lack of self-esteem that prevents you from exercising and/or eating well
- You don’t have time to prepare nutritious food.
- you have an eating disorder
- You have a genuine medical problem.
- You are taking medications that have a side effect of weight gain.
Once you have figured out why you are still overweight, you need to find the right diet and exercise plan that suits this reason.
