Learn The 5 Weight Loss Rules For The Resistant Dieter
It is a fallacy that "all diets work" and that the only problem is that people just can't keep the weight off after they lose it. Some people, women especially have bodies that are very resistant to weight loss and they never seem to be able to lose a pound in the first place.
As a seasoned dieter I have attempted many weight loss plans that just didn't work. I would follow the program religiously but the scale would not move. On some of these diets, I could follow perfectly for months at a time and never lose a pound.
As a woman I am sure that it is not only me with this difficulty. It's biological. A man will always be able to lose weight and gain muscle easier than a woman. It is just a fact of life. Women are biologically programmed to hold onto fat because in the case of a famine, we need to not only be able to keep ourselves alive but we also need to be able to keep a fetus alive until it is born and even longer as we breastfeed. That is why it is more difficult for a woman to lose weight.
But as you go you learn what works for weight loss and what doesn't. Here are the top five weight loss rules for bodies that are resistant to losing.
The first rule is fairly simple, "Eat". Yes, eat at least three and even as many as 6 small meals per day. For one thing it keeps you from getting over hungry, which stops you from bingeing and another reason is that it keeps your metabolism pumping along. Your body will begin to conserve fat if it believes it's starving so the first rule is to Eat.
Second is to exchange quality for quantity. Empty calories that provide no decent nutritional value do nothing to fill you up and eating nutritionally empty food is a sure way to pack on the pounds. Cravings are many times caused by a lack of vital nutrients so it is important to choose high quality, nutritionally dense foods. Stay away from the "white stuff', meaning white flour and white sugar.
The third rule is to eat protein with each meal. Protein is digested slower than carbohydrates and it will not cause a sugar spike in your bloodstream. Eating protein will keep you fuller longer and you will end up eating less later on.
The fourth rule is to pick your carbohydrates wisely. Simple carbohydrates like sweets, candy and actually anything made out of white flour will just spike your blood sugar, make you hungry and add to your fat deposits. Choose complex carbohydrates like whole grains and vegetables. These will give you fiber, which will also keep you fuller and will keep your digestive system functioning at its highest levels.
Fifth is to begin an exercise program. Start moving. Take the stairs. Take a walk. Move more. You can begin slow and work your way up but exercise is critical for long-term weight loss success.
It may be that you'll have to work at it. Few people with weight problems solve them once and for all for and never have to think about it again, but if you follow these rules most of the time, you will lose weight and you will be able to keep it off. - 17269
