How to save money on your diet? Lose weight yourself

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

There’s nothing more beneficial to go through your diet with the guidance and support of a professional.
A professional diet expert can guide you in any step of the way,
Give you the advices that are best for you and boost up your motivation when you need him to.
But a professional help is obviously expensive.
So in order to reduce the volume of your body and not the volume of your wallet – you need to lose weight yourself.
Some people will tell you that it is impossible to lose weight yourself.
They will say that many have tried and failed,
They will say that you are not an expert and they discourage you from trying.
On the most part, they are right.
People have tried and failed.
And you probably are not an expert.
But they wrong to discourage you.
In order to lose weight yourself you just need some good tools in your arsenal.
Most of all you need knowledge and motivation.
Let me explain:
#1 Knowledge.
There’s nothing more important then the right knowledge,
If you don’t know how to diet and what you should or should not do,
you won’t get far.
And you’ll be surprised, it’s not so hard to come by.
A first source of knowledge is of course the internet.
You’ve came this far so you probably know that there is plenty of free material around, including recopies and specific exercises.
A second source of knowledge you should look into is yourself!
If you want to lose weight yourself be ready for some soul-searching.
You are the only one who will know what you are able to not and what not.
This is in fact a huge bonus for if you decide to lose weight yourself:
Not only will you be able to tailor your diet program to your needs, daily routine and other oddities you might have.
You will also learn a great deal about your mentality and your body.
#2 Motivation
Changing habits is not easy and we might fall into our old ways when feeling weak.
That gives a big advantage for those of us who can afford guidance.
Guidance also equals encouragement.
But if you want to lose weight yourself you need to find your own sources of motivation.
I won’t detail all I think about self-motivation here (I’ve written about the subject some times before),
But the basics of is this:
First, Share your hardship with your friends and family.
Don’t expect them to carry you, but talk to them.
It will help if they’ll be sensitive to your needs (they might skip a pizza or two for you).
Of course it also helps if you can find a dieting partner.
Second, utilize simple solutions to benefit your diet.
The more simple the solution the easier it is to implement.
For example: drink a glass of water before each meal.
Not only is it important to keep yourself hydrated,
It will also quench your hunger a little, making it easier to eat small portions.
To sum up:
If you can’t afford guidance or simply don’t want to throw away your money,
You need to consider trying to lose weight yourself.
If the option deters you, you might consider buying a good dieting guide.
But make sure it’s a decent one.
There are far too many “quick” diets out there that don’t give you enough tools for you to lose weight and lose it for good.

Why do we need to exercise to lose weight? - 3 reasons to get yourself moving

Saturday, June 20th, 2009

Can it be more obvious? When you are on a diet you work out! It doesn’t get much simpler than that, right?
But why should you work out? Do you know?
The answer is not “because your dietician told you”
I’ll give you 3 reasons why, here we go…
1. Burn Calories
You want to lose fat don’t you?
Of course you do.
Most people are not nearly active enough to burn calories without working out.
That’s a fact!
Now you tell me you have a great diet and you will lose your weight based on metabolism alone.
While this can be achieved, it’s highly unlikely to happen.
Statistically, most overweight people will never reach this metabolic state.
This is a privilege only a small amount of people have.
Your body needs to work hard and persistently to really lose weight.
So not only do you need to exercise, you need long aerobic sessions.
Those will force your body to use fat cells for energy.
2. Muscle
I want to make this point clear,
Muscle is not only for body builders!
I know not all of us want to have a lean muscular body, and it’s really ok.
But you must understand the importance of muscle to your diet.
When the body receives calories it sorts them for one of two processes:
Catabolism - the process of breaking down molecules and produce energy.
Anabolism - the opposite of catabolism, the process of storing unused energy in the body.
Now, if you have more muscle, your body needs more energy to maintain it.
Yes, that’s right, if you have more muscle you burn more calories just by being alive!
3. Mind
Don’t neglect the mind!
Exercising regularly increases your sense self control, your self esteem and your confidence.
I’ll say it again:
Self control,
Self esteem,
Confidence.
Sound familiar?
Yes, these are the same reasons I wanted to lose weight for!
Do your workouts, It will make you feel good!
And when you feel good you are more competent and your weight loss efforts are more fruitful.
Then you’re getting yourself out of that vicious cicle of eating too much and feeling bad about it and into this circle:
You work out regularly then you feel good,
You feel good then you have more motivation to keep at it.
Well, I think I made it a bit clearer.
I hope you will get a fitness program and make exercising a part of your everyday life.

Good Luck,
David H. Mason
