Weight loss. the very words imply loss. is it any wonder then that so many people struggle with forcing themselves to lose something? In order to lose weight the implication is that you have to give something up.

It is this sense of loss, of having to give up something you like or value that is the cause of most of the problems. What is the natural instinct when faced with the thought of losing something? it is to cling on to it is it not?

Our minds, our deep subconscious minds will be telling us to hang on to that which we consciously know we need to give up in order to lose weight. our inner self will be telling us we don’t want to lose anything and so will cause us to work against ourselves and either end up eating more of the very foods that we know we must give up, or our bodies will store every minute ounce of fat we consume knowing that it may have to go a long, long time before it gets any more. So instead of burning our excess fat we end up storing more fat.

How to break this vicious cycle? This, of course is the million dollar question.. For a start it is important to change your mind set to one of fun instead of loss. start to view exercise as a fun thing to do, after all it does make you feel good doesn’t it? instead of keeping your focus on the foods you want but cant have put your focus on the foods you know are healthy and that you love and enjoy eating.

Instead of giving up completely the foods that are very bad for you, try instead to reduce them gradually. This will get your mind away from the loss mentality. to start with try making sure that every day you eat a little of your favourite food, then the second week eat those chocolate buns every other day substituting a more healthy snack instead. keep on building this up so that eventually you will hardly be eating those old fatty favourites and instead be happily eating healthy foods and snacks.

Instead of starving yourself make sure you eat 5 times a day or so, with any carbohydrates consumed in the earlier part of the day. This gives your body time to burn them off through the normal activity of a day rather than sitting in the evening on the sofa eating peanuts or popcorn which will just sit in your system and be converted to fat while you sleep.

So eat 5 times a day, small portions, but more of them. Say for example, start the day with a high fibre breakfast, have some fruit mid morning, a high protein lunch, fruit or oat snack mid afternoon and then a light supper. This way you will not feel hungry and your body will be less likely to store any fats you do consume because it knows it has a regular intake of food to look forward to.

Exercise for just 20-30 minutes a day. Get off the bus a stop early and walk the rest of the way, go for a walk after lunch or when you get home from work to wind down from the day.
