Have you hit the plateau? Have you started a weight loss program, but it's all gone rather flat? Have you lost interest? Is your motivation at an all time low? Do you want to throw the whole thing up and just go back to where you were before because it's easier? Do you ask yourself if you'll ever be slim?
All the publicity that surrounds weight loss programs and diets would have you believe that it's very easy to lose weight and that not a lot of effort is required. All you have to do is to follow the instructions and 'hey presto', off comes the weight...just like that!
It's not quite like that in reality. It does take effort and commitment which is why it is understandably devastating when the weight comes back again. Months of dieting is usually ruined when the pounds start to reappear. Usually is the right word to use because it happens in over 95% of the time.
What is not made clear to people when they go on a diet is that it is very unlikely that the weight they lose will stay off. It will return. The problem is that when it returns it is only fat that returns. All the muscle that you've lost will have gone and will not return unless you start to do some serious resistance exercises.
Why must it always be like this? It doesn't have to at all. If you want to jump-start your weight loss, then here's the best way to lose weight...you don't go on a diet! Nor do pop pills...they have the same effect. They deliver short-term weight loss. Does anybody want short-term weight loss? I don't think so!
The way to jump-start your weight loss is to get rid of all the bad habits that make you fat, and learn new habits, slim habits. Only by making personal change can you ever hope to lose weight permanently. It's not difficult to do.
