Being dedicated to your diet is one thing — but knowing the right ways to approach a weight-loss program can mean all the difference between success and failure.
It's not as hard as some people make it out to be. Just start by eating less. What I found best was to just skip meals, only eating one meal a day, but keeping it in the same proportions I used to.
To avoid feeling hungry throughout the day, you can train your body - I started skipping breakfast (which is a cultural invention and is not required at all) when I was a teenager, and after a few years I simply stopped getting hungry throughout the day.
I did, although rarely, stopped eating for 24 hours a few times... with no feeling of hunger at all. I don't know how long it takes to get used to skipping this meal, but it's a good choice to make. Less expenses, less food intake... etc.
Finally, while exercise can speed things up, I don't find it necessary. Just make sure you eat less calories than you need.
Don't speed things up TOO quick, that can be dangerous. But keeping to one meal a day - AND not supersizing that one meal, but keeping it to usual proportions - works like a charm.
If you start this regimen, it'll be a few days before you lose weight. Just check your weight every day.
Also, people respond differently to dieting. A few can't even lose weight despite eating very little and exercising a lot.
If this diet doesn't work, consult a professional.
Sooooo true! I know we've been drilled to eat 3 to 6 meals a day, but the only was i can lose weight is to skp breakfast, eat very little throughout the day, eat a regular dinner and exercise. By the time I get to dinner, I can't eat that much.
Ignore the advice in this video. Google 'Dr. Jack Krause leptin reset'. Read his story. He has nothing to sell, no diet books, no supplements, no monthly programs. But it works.
I agree! As a volunteer in a 3rd world country, I have a very slow Internet connection. Videos are not possible for me. I wish there was a site for the printed article instead or or as well as the video.
