Weight loss equals better health, better sleep and better quality of life. Loosing weight is however a goal that is rarely accomplished, as most people tend to choose diets that do not work for them, in a desperate attempt to reach their ideal weight as soon as possible.
Why most old diets do not work
Diets that focus only on certain foods
Following a diet which focus only on certain foods can make you get easily bored and start craving for your favorite, forbidden foods. Before long, you get back to your old eating habits and gain even more weight than before.
Fast low-calorie diets
Fast low-calorie diets force your body to lower its metabolic rate and burn fewer calories. When you start eating normally again, your metabolism cannot readjust and you need to consume even fewer calories than before to lose weight. This is known as the ”yo-yo syndrome”.
Diets full of empty promises
There are diets that promise fast and long-lasting weight loss because they contain a ”miracle” ingredient or because they can cleanse your body from all toxins. Both of those promises are empty. There is no ”miracle” ingredient and those body cleanses are highly suspect.
New and proven weight loss strategies for 2010
Keep a food journal
Start keeping a food journal where you will write everything you eat on a daily basis. That will help you keep better track of what you consume and in what quantity. According to WebMd, the more you write in your food journal, the more weight you will lose.
EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique)
EFT helps the mind and the nervous system deal effectively with negative feelings that result in unhealthy eating habits and easily adopt a healthy lifestyle. Either with the help of an experienced practitioner or on their own, compulsive eaters can be helped tremendously by EFT.
The right weight loss program
Choosing the right weight loss program for you and sticking with it is very important. Changing diets frequently wears you out and increases the risk of going back to your old eating habits.
Good luck!
