Best way to loose weight

Why most people don't lose weight?

The first reason to that is that they don't have time for it. They spend 9 to 10 hours a day at work then go home to relax and unwind themselves. Weight loss is more of a decision making. Its a long term goal. Its not just something you do because you're in the mood to do so. You are your own boss when you're on this program. You make your own schedule and ask some pro if you have additional questions.

Second reason is that they think there is a shortcut to it. They see this infomercials on television that promises weight loss in a week or two. I believe some of these infomercials work but not the way you expect it to be. I tried a slimming tea before. It helped me lose weight but it does ruin my mood most of the time. I regained the whole weight back immediately. I don't know with other weight products but I think most of them have side effects even though the endorser tells you it doesn't.

Third reason is that they are already happy with themselves. They think that skipping their favorite meals will make them miserable. They even think that they are already satisfied being fat as long as they are happy. Well it does happen, but if you are really concerned about your health then think of it as part of the program. You never know one of these days, those favorite food of yours will give up on you. Do you want your doctor to tell you that you should stop eating ice cream, pizza, and mouth juicy burgers? When you're on a weight loss program, there is still word called "sacrifice". You don't need to worry about it because there is also this word called "cheat day" where you can schedule a time of eating what you want. It does happen once a week. Even I myself can't get rid of comfort foods. Please be informed that once you succeeded on your diet (which will take just a few months with one cheat day a week), you can go back on eating what you want because your metabolism is way much stronger compared on the day you started. Some even think that weight loss is for people who are too concerned about their looks.
At first I thought it was but then it wasn't. If you only think you are overweight then go on a weight loss program. If not, then just go on weight maintenance mode unless you plan to shape up for some occasion.

And lastly, they think its expensive. There are ads out there that tell us that you can get thin right away if you have a lot of money. I agree and totally disagree to that. You can get thin with liposuction but it won't really work on your metabolism. Losing weight the natural way is still the best way to loose weight. It will boost your metabolism which will further allow you to eat more. Did you notice how models endorse food products like pizza? They just take a small bite and recommend it to people! These models do have some money to burn.

Eat six small meals a day

I was actually thinking about it right now. Its a type of program where you eat 400 calories per meal(according to my diet plan) because excess calories turned into stored fat. Its also defined as to stop eating when you're full. Why should I eat 6 meals a day? I know that our body burns calories even if you're not doing anything. Probably the reason why we should eat 6 meals a day is to prevent muscle loss and ofcourse to trim that tummy fat. If I starve myself, its going to get some energy from my muscles. I don't want that to happen. I was also thinking about cardio. It lowers overall body fat percentage. Overall means fat from everywhere including arm muscles which isn't good at all. I do heard that when you do cardio after workout, it won't let you lose muscles. Although its pretty confusing at the moment. I know it is really hard to stick to this kind of program (Eat six small meals a day) but I guess I'll give it a shot. When temptation strikes again, like eating out with my buddies, I'll take full control of it for the sake of the small tummy fat I need to reduce. I know that I can't stick to this program forever but I do know as well that it boosts metabolism.

Will you stick on your diet?

When I decided to lose weight a few months ago, I had some thoughts going on a diet. I started to get rid of the temptations surrounding me. The people around me tempt me a lot with food and its really hard to get rid of it. I even came to the hardest point where depression takes place. Its like you're addicted to something and you have to go on rehabilitation to get rid of it. Sometimes they even offer me some alcoholic drinks every time there is party. Anyway, what I did was forget about the diet plan. Whenever I read about diet plans, I hear stuff like "do not eat this and eat that". Is it really possible? Yes it is but its also frustrating. So I started to do some cardio. It was quite fun and it really does burn some calories. A few days after, I got addicted to it. I still eat what I want its just that I do it in moderation. Lets say for example a friend invites me to go to Mcdonalds, I really find it hard to resist the quarter pounder meal upgraded to large fries and soda. I substitute soda with diet soda. Before, I used to go for an extra fries and nuggets. Moderation for me means sticking to one meal. I don't mean one meal a day. What I meant was one meal every breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, and dinner. The healthier the foods are, the more you'll lose weight. My point here is that junk foods can also help you lose weight if you eat them in moderation. It really does work though. Whenever I feel ready for cardio, I do it to burn some extra calories.

Serious in losing tummy?

Im planning to make my tummy become flat so it means that I have to give up my weight maintenance for now. I've been on weight loss vacation for 4 months now. During that time, I eat whatever I want although I still manage to balance it. When I eat a box pizza today, I make sure that I eat salad and oatmeal the next day. Its some type of calorie shifting that I know. Anyway, moving to the topic, Im really serious now in flatenning my tummy. So for now, I need to focus on my diet. I have to sacrifice the taste of Chilis burger, potato chips, sodas, and ice creams. My actual plan is to replace them with healthy ones. Just in case I can't get rid of them, I'll make a schedule on when to eat them. I'll probably schedule it on a Saturday. I know there are diet pills that can help but I won't rely on it because I don't want to ruin my metabolism which makes me eat more during weight maintenance period without worrying about weight gain. I love eating. Cardio? I know it reduces overall body fat but it makes me worry that it might shrink my muscles. Ofcourse I don't want to look sick. What about beer? Uhmm... According to weight loss experts its alright to drink 2 bottles of beer in a day. Maybe I'll just substitute it with a hard drink like rhum and brandy without any additionals.

I'll be doing this in a few weeks. I know I've done this before and it really did work.

Why people go to the gym? (motivation)

In the past, I thought people who build muscles do it because they want to look attractive. I suddenly asked why they do it. Aren't they satisfied with their bodies? They may have a body like that but does it change their eating pattern as well? I also thought that those people are conscious when it comes to eating. I gave it a try to be like them a few years ago. I went to this gym and the instructor told me that I should eat less. The instructor also told me that I should stop eating junk foods. 3 months of having that kind of thought in the gym made me give up. I felt like I was so vane. My friends and relatives even made fun of me whenever we go to a party because they think that Im so conscious with my body. I even have thoughts that a slice of pizza, which is one of my favorite food, will make me fat.

I didn't go to the gym anymore after that. I went back to my old eating and drinking habits. I even had a date that time who was a manager of a french restaurant. Food suddenly becomes a habit for me again. I ate a lot and exercised less. Every time my friends invite me on a drinking session after office hours, I didn't say no to them. I never even cared about how much sugar and transfat I consume as long as the food taste good. A few months after that, I noticed that these fatty foods and addicting alcoholic beverages gave up on me. I remember every time I eat a large burger, I feel like my heart begins to go weak and I feel dizzy. I went to a doctor and the doctor asked me if I do exercise? I said just a little. He even asked me how bad I eat? I told him "most of the time whenever food is around". The doctor informed me that I should go to a sport program to pay off my happy go lucky lifestyle. I can't think of any sport that is why I decided to go back to the gym. Am I going to do it just to become vane again? I guess not that is why I went to do some research online. Here is what I learned so far:

1. Muscles burn fat. One of the classic ways to have it is to go to the gym, eat the right foods, and rest well. I also read an article before that says weight lifting can burn sugar.

2. Looking good shouldn't be your goal if you're going to the gym. It will only result to some sort of insecurity. Your main reason to go to the gym is to live a healthy life.

3. If you want to make changes in your body, follow what your instructor says. But if you want to maintain your figure even if its a six pack, you can still eat junk foods.

4. Weight lifting won't make you become bigger right away. Gaining big arms is way too harder than getting a flat tummy.

5. Doing cardio after weight lifting will help you lose more weight and can defeat weight loss plateau.

Gym has become a part of my lifestyle after knowing these things. It did work for me and I hope it works with others as well. My point of view of why people go to the gym become different. Although there are still some who do it to look good because of their job. I still drink beer, eat a lot of pizza, and consume some sweets without gaining weight and feeling bad. The gym also thought me the importance of eating the right food too. Whenever I feel demotivated, I just follow the 3rd one above.
