Weight Loss Tips

Every year, most people will gain an average of ten pounds over the winter. We’re sitting around, not getting much exercise, and eating a lot of calorie laden foods. I am hearing that baking and boredom eating have taken their toll on many of you. Now its starting to get warm and you’re thinking about…

You know, people who are trying to lose weight always start by cutting back on their food intake. And then to top it off, they do most of their eating at night – feeling good because “I haven’t eaten all day!”

Every day I get emails about some NEW way to lose weight. The newest ones claim that you don’t have to give up the foods you love.

Now, if you happen to love Hamburger Helper, McDonalds Fries, Doritos, and pop (did I cover the biggest unhealthy favorites?) to say that you can eat these every other day is just ridiculous, don’t you think? But that’s the kinds of deceptions these ads feed you.

So what do you do if you want to lose weight, but you just can’t seem to stay on a diet? That’s great. ‘Diets’ are bad for you anyway.

 According to the Weight-control Information Network – (a division of US Dept of Health) –

So many people go for the crazy diet trend of the year hoping for quick weight loss, only to find that when they go back to normal eating they gain it all back and more. Its insanity!

So many people are out looking for some crazy diet where you can lose 100 pounds fast, and then go back to eating the way they were eating before. That makes no sense!

But changing your eating habits is probably one of the hardest things to do. It not only requires changing your mind about the foods you like to eat, but you also have to change your eating habits. Do you come home from work too tired to cook? Is there nothing ready to cook when you come home?

Here’s the thing. Life happens to us all. I don’t know anyone who is not retired that has enough time. Everyone is too busy.

So how do some people reach their goals, and most people can’t?
