It is common sense that you can't expect to lose weight in 3 weeks what took you 3 years or more to put on, right?
Oh, sure, you probably can...but it won't be permanent. Losing weight in a slow, steady manner is not only the most healthy way you can do it, it's also the only way you'll keep it off for good.
It needs more than just a diet plan, because those alone don't work. It requires a shift in lifestyle. People often think that losing weight is hard because they want something that is quick, fast, and easy.
You must change your habits that made you gain all those extra weight. And you must move your body more. I know that the word 'exercise' makes you cringe, but it does not have to be that way. Exercise can be something that you don't dread and it doesn't have to consume much of your time. You just need to move. Once you get used to it, it may even become something that you actually look forward to and miss when you can't fit it in your schedule.
A healthy way of losing weight will take time and normally, you will only lose a pound or two each week. Exercising while dieting will accelerate your weight loss. The combination of a healthy, sensible diet, balanced with all the food groups and 3-5 times a week for 30 minutes of exercise will show you that you don't need the latest fad diet making the rounds to get to your ideal weight.
You don't even have to do drastic changes all at once. Start by making small changes that will make a huge difference if done cumulatively. For example, if you drink soda, switch to water. If you normally skip breakfast, try to eat breakfast at least 3 times a week. Eating breakfast really helps. Once you start doing that, you'll feel so much better that soon you will be eating breakfast everyday by choice.
Refrain from eating too much fast food, and some of the overly processed foods that have very little nutritional value. Use whole grain bread instead of white bread. Little changes. Little by little, as you find out what healthy feels like, you will definitely be attracted to do more and more of it.
Losing weight healthily does not entail cutting foods out completely, especially 'bad-for-you' foods. It's irrational to think that you will never eat another slice of cake, Thanksgiving stuffing, or Christmas candy. If you're watching what you eat 80% of the time, you can relax a bit 20% of the time.
Something else that's missing from the lives of most overweight people is oxygen. You'd be amazed at how much more quickly your body is able to burn fat when given enough oxygen. I designed a program that will give your body the oxygen it so dearly craves.
My 'Weight Loss Breeze' program connects perfectly with your weight loss efforts. These simple exercises only take a few short minutes a day, but the effects on your weight are astounding. When you combine the Weight Loss Breeze with proper nutrition, even without exercise, you will see your pounds melt away.
