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. Consider the difference in fat intake if you made your omelet using whole eggs instead of egg substitute. Egg yolks are 75-95% pure fat while egg substitute is 0% fat. Making this one simple shift will reduce your total calorie intake dramatically.
2. If you're over fat, you became that way because of your habits, tiny daily actions. It was your lifestyle that caused it to happen. The obvious solution then is to change your lifestyle. This requires a life change. Part of that life change is the foods you currently choose to eat.
3. It is not that difficult to learn to like new foods. Some simple shifts to different, fat-loss friendly foods, foods that will be kinder to your waistline and hips. For example, if you want to alter the appearance and taste of skim milk, you could add condensed skim milk to it. This contributes just a few extra calories of protein and carbohydrate, but no additional fat calories.
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 let's take a look at cheese and nuts. These are very popular and recommended by some health advocates as health food. Don't fall for the bait. If you're starving to death - cheese is a good choice. It will keep you from starving to death. On the other hand, if you want to rid your body of excess body fat - cheese is a poor choice. It is easily stored as fat and has very high calorie content.
The very high fat cheeses get more than 70-90% of their calories from fat. They can be eaten in moderation as part of your diet but only if you're starving to death. If you're reading this you're not starving to death. So stay away from cheese. Very high fat makes cheese a bad choice for people concerned about their weight loss.
6. Portion size is also a big consideration. How much fat you eat per day is cumulative. In other words, if you eat small portions of something containing fat throughout the day, although the fat count may be low, the total fat consumed adds to your daily total. One big step in losing body fat the easy way is finding the low/no-fat item that replaces the high fat one and keeping the total fat in your diet to a minimum. - 17269
