Healthy, Sexy Body

Metaphorically, the basic ingredients in a weight loss recipe are just two:
1. Exercise, do more physical work than you usually do.
2. Eat smart and less than you usually eat, cut a reasonable amount of calories, so that you can start losing weight.

Those two ingredients are quite simple, but their are just basic stuff. Now, to achieve weight loss and keep your desired weight, you need to educate yourself to the details.

Start keeping track of everything you put in your mouth. Record it in a food diary. At the end of the day, summarize what you've eaten, and judge it, but do not blame yourself. Look at it like a scientist would look - with no emotion. Now if you find tonight that you shouldn't have eaten that much chocolate, make the conclusion and the decision that you will no longer do that. Convince yourself that this food is not healthy and won't help you with it's nutrients in any way. Understand that you are attracted only by its taste and look, and eating you achieve just a temporary satisfaction - after that you need more, and then more, and then more. On the opposite, if you don't eat it, you will be satisfied permanently, a long-term satisfaction that will keep you happy. Of course you don't need to stop eating your most loved food at once. You can just limit the quantity...

Now, I had a friend who loved McDonalds. It was useless to talk to her how unhealthy those burgers are... She wanted to lose weight, but she wasn't ready to stop eating McDonalds... Some four or five nights in a week, she and her husband ate cheesburgers or some other of this company's fast foods.
So she thought that if she can't stop eating McDonalds, there's no point in trying to lose weight, it will sabotage her. I managed to understand that she has some sort of addiction. So I told her to start slowly limiting the quantity she ate, and she took the decision. Her husband also liked the idea, so the started to eat smaller and smaller portions of McDonalds every time they went.
A month after they started, they already shared just one big burger. Some two or three months later, when she get on a diet and started exercising to lose weight, she and her husband completely stopped eating junk food.

The moral here is to reduce what you love eating, but slowly, so that the emotional pain of the psychological addiction is bearable.

Your food diary will help to identify what you should exclude from your menu, and you will understand what you eat and how much of it better.

The next step is to educate yourself of the quality of what you eat. You can research that on the web. How nutrient it is to your body, how healthy it is. Learn more about healthy foods and replace them for the unhealthy foods. Learn what proteins, carbs and fats are. Learn what preservatives and other E-s are, and avoid them. Learn about bio-foods, the real ones.

The topic of eating is endless, there are thousands of books, grasp on some and practice it until it helps.

Exercise. Do not push yourself to do that. Choose the best time for you. Start for just once a week and slowly increase the frequency of exercises. The secret here is to find what you love. It is not necessary to be just jogging, fitness, aerobics... it can be dances, tenis, any sport... The only requirements are to make you move, and you to love it! After some time you can start using your car less, and a bycicle more - but only if you like that, of course.

If you find and start exercising on the sport you like, you will feel much better, I assure you. That again is the long-term gain and satisfaction. Think of it to motivate you. Visualise yourself with the desired body, think of how pretty you will be and that you will love yourself even more. Lazyness, just sitting and watching TV is satisfactory only in the short term - try not to do it, but do not blame yourself if you slip - it happens to everybody. The thing is to start immediately again after each time you slip.

There's no big secret behind weight loss. There are thousand of small details that are secrets to you now, but if you start learning they will start to uncover. Do not try to see the big picture, your aim is only to use weight. Practice everything you learn, do not become a laboratory rat, just resarching and analysing.

Be sure that all the information you need is already found. Do not plunge in the deep ocean of false information on the internet in the form of articles, they will confuse you and get you out of focus. You need some organized information that you will start applying immediately, not some "tips and tricks". Make a research on some good books about weight loss, choose just ONE in the begining, then start reading and implementing in your lifestyle.

Do not believe in "quick weight loss" programs, pills or anything. You can damage your health seriously, and even if you lose weight, you will most likely gain it back again after some time.

To make a change in any area of yourlife, you have to change false thinking patterns(read books), you have to change your lifestyle(practice the theory). And all of this can't happen all at once... Look on how the Creator does it - babies are small when they are born, then they gradually grow up, learn new things, and at some time they are grown men and women! Think about weight loss in the same way. It needs to happen gradually and thoughtfully - that is the only way to achieve effective weight loss and keep the weight you want to keep.
