Doing what works

Now, when you know that you need to do something about your weight, it is time to figure out what you are currently doing and what you want to change. 

This information will help you begin selecting your behaviors that you want to change.

You will then make changes that are designed to help you reach your goal. Of course, there will be challenges along the way. 

One potential roadblock might be finding the motivation or energy to keep going. And you will most likely experience things that make you stop. 

Buy as you move forward, you will begin to adopt techniques, strategies and daily routines to manage any initial discomfort and stress.

Expect some bumps on the road. If it were easy to lose weight, you probably would not need to read blogs like this one. But remember, as long as you keep implementing the changes and don’t give up, you are succeeding.

As your daily routines become less challenging and more satisfying, the process will become a bit easier and may even begin to feel a sense of mastery.

Seeing results will bring a healthy sense of accomplishment, keep you motivated and increase your chance of success.

The key to weight loss is to feel full by consuming healthy natural, non-processed foods and sugar free drinks without artificial sweeteners, with enough protein and nutrients to keep you satisfied and not tempted to overeat on the not-so-healthy stuff.

  1. What are you talking about? The process will be easier? Not true! Losing weight is difficult. Weight loss never gets easier.

  2. I believe weight loss requires lots of effort and commitment, but it's extremely rewarding. The hardest part is working on your habits - to cut off the unhealthy ones, or to change them into something healthier. I think the second one might be less demanding, for example if you crave sugar, it's better to eat a fruit than a chocolate. Perhaps the best would be not eating any sugary thing at all, but then again taking away all the pleasures will make you miserable in the long run. I do agree with you on one thing - the process of weight loss becomes less challenging as the time goes by.

  3. This depends on whom you ask, but generally you'd avoid or eat very little fast food, added sugars, refined foods, artificial sweeteners, and processed foods.

  4. Reducing caloric intake before sleeping can lead to sustained weight loss.

  5. Losing weight is definitely a marathon, not a sprint. Not to sound like a know it all but anyone can lose weight in the short run. What's important is losing weight and keeping it off. Some approaches work better for certain people but the bottom line is that you have to be in it for the long haul.
