9 Mindsets for Permanent Weight Loss
The biggest problem with fast weight loss is that if you lose it fast, it will come back fast. Dieting slows metabolism, among other things. Therefore, to lose weight and keep it off forever, it is important that you keep some things in mind. First of all, realize that permanent weight loss requires a permanent shift in your attitudes, habits, and lifestyle. The best place to start with some small changes. The first change? Reduce your fat intake. If you just consume 500 fewer calories everyday you will reduce your body weight by 1 pounds in 1-week. One pound of fat is 3,500 calories (7 days X 500 calories per day = 3,500 calories = 1 pound of fat).
1. Here is a great place to start. Eggs. If you normally eat the entire egg, you are choosing to triple the number of calories you are ingesting. A simple fix is to eat only the egg white of the egg. This is a great way to get high quality protein without unnecessary counterproductive egg yolks.
2. Or look at the percentage of fat you get when you eat that snack cake or cookie. Why do you like the taste of butter or margarine on your foods, or do you have the idea that skim milk tastes like cloudy water? Well, that could be your biggest problem. If you're over weight, you most likely got that way because of consistent, tiny daily actions. It was your life-style that did it to you. And part of your lifestyle is the foods you currently enjoy eating.
3. It is not that hard to learn to enjoy new types of food. Just realize that it's part of the process of body transformation. It's a necessary process. Also realize this, if you do make the change, your transformation will become inevitable. If you don't make the change - nothing changes. Easy choice, right?
3. To get rid of excess body fat - permanently - you'll have to change how you think about food. If you think that you need to eat certain foods, the foods that got you to be overweight, for example, that is going to be a problem. Make the commitment to changing those small habits that overtime will add up to a big change in your life. Here is a simple one: stop using butter to flavor your bread. All butters. Just stop cold turkey. This will save you 100 calories every time you say no.
4. Now consider cheese and nuts. These foods, popular as snacks and condiments, provide huge fat-calorie load. Many health advocates recommend both nuts and cheese as "health" foods. Unfortunately, if fat loss is your goal, the high fat content of nearly all cheese, even those that advertise themselves as part-skim, makes cheese an unwise choice for most people who are interested in ridding their bodies of excess fat.
Most cheese gets an abundance, more than 75% of total calories from fat. They are far NOT "health" foods. They can be eaten in small doses as part of a healthy diet; but remember the very high saturated fat content and total fat content. High fat foods are easily stored in the body. Stay away from them.
6. Portion size should also be a consideration. The amount of fat you eat every day is cumulative. So, if you eat small portions of foods containing fat all day, although the fat count could be low, the total fat consumed adds to your daily total calorie consumption total. - 17268
