Here we go again, we silently commit to ourselves that today is the day we are going to start that new diet everyone's been raving about. Hey your coworker claims to have lost 10 pounds in just a couple of weeks! So if you could just jump-start your weight loss at least in a week it would definitely speed up the results, right?
Wrong, very wrong. In fact if you are the type to try to (fail) going from one yo-yo diet extreme to another you are actually drifting farther away from a long-term healthy weight goal. That's the keyword here in this article, healthy. Just choosing more healthy options a day versus your habitual eating wants is actually the "jump-start" necessary to see fast results. For example if you consume 3 sodas a day simply cut it down to one, and try diet, or if you like to eat fast food learn how to cook it the "slow food" way. Is it too much to walk 20 minutes a day or any activity that will increase your heart rate for 20 minutes a day three times a week? Does it surprise you do this already?
First, be kind to yourself, turn away from society's idea of what beautiful is and look inside yourself and realize you are a unique beautiful human being who deserves to be healthy. Second, it is highly recommended to visit your general physician and talk to them about your weight loss plan and goals, it is a good idea to do some general blood work done to make sure you do not have any health risks or exercise limitations. You may also discover why you are not able to keep the weight off, or lack motivation to exercise due to a health condition like abnormal thyroid levels or suffer from anemia. Unknown conditions like these can limit your ultimate weight loss goal and result in you feeling like you failed once again, yet with the underlying conditions at play it was not your lack of trying.
Another key to long-term weight loss success is finding long-term motivation. Okay so you crashed dieted your way into a size 8, now what? If you go off track of the "diet" you will gain the weight back as well as a possible extra 5 pounds on top. How? Well most crash diets tend to draw out the water weight first, showing you results both on the scale and in your waist line although when you stop the method of the crash diet, the first thing to return is the water weight and a little extra due to an ill choice of food.
If you start out by cutting calories, sodium, and sugar you will see the water weight disappear maybe not as fast and you will feel really irritable, and that is quite alright, but the results of the lost weight will stay "lost" as well as boosting your metabolism and mood.
