Notice The Five Top Fat Loss Rules For The Resistant Dieter

By Theresa Q Watson

I remember reading once that "all diets work" and all diets will help you to "lose" weight. The difficulty is that rather than maintain the weight loss we often go back to our bad eating habits and gain all of the weight that we lost back again. I disagreed.

As a experienced dieter who had long been trying various ways to lose weight I knew that this was not a fact. The fact was that there had been many diet plans that I implemented and followed the advice exactly only to see the scale not move at all. True story, the scale did not record the drop of even one pound. My body was totally resistant to losing weight.

It is a biological thing for women. Men are always able to lose weight and gain muscle easier and faster than women because women are biologically designed to hold onto the fat. In the rare event of a famine our bodies are designed not only to make sure we stay alive but also to keep any offspring that we may be carrying alive. Biologically it is just more difficult for women to lose weight.

But in the past few years and throughout this struggle, I have learned quite a few things that can help a woman to lose weight. I will share my top five rules for weight loss here.

First rule is to Eat. That's right; never starve yourself if you want to have lasting weight loss. Eating regularly will keep you from getting excessively hungry which in turn will keep you from eating everything in site later on. It also keeps your metabolism pumping and your body will keep on burning calories. If your body believes it is starving it will shut down your metabolism and conserve the fat so eat, at least 3 meals and as many as 6 small meals a day.

The second rule is to be aware of what you do eat. Empty calories in the form of "white foods" and empty carbohydrates do nothing to fill you up and just pile on the pounds. Choose quality and you will instantly reduce quantity. Many cravings are caused by a lack of sufficient nutrients so choose quality, high-density nutritious foods when you do eat. Clear the junk out of your pantry and out of your life.

The third rule is to eat protein at every meal. There is a reason why high protein diets tend to be successful. It's not because they are especially nutritious but instead because protein does not cause sugar spikes and it is digested slower than carbohydrates, especially simple carbohydrates. Therefore, when you add protein you don't get nearly as hungry and you don't eat anywhere near as much.

The fourth rule is to be selective in the carbohydrates that you eat. Simple carbs, such as baked goods made with white flour and anything that is pure sugar will just spike your blood sugar and that will make you hungry again in a very short time. It will also go straight to your fat deposits, as it adds no nutritional advantage. Complex carbs, such as whole grains and vegetables have fiber, which keeps your digestive system running smoothly and they also provide excellent nutrition.

And the fifth rule is to begin moving. Begin an exercise plan. You can begin small by taking short walks and move up to more challenging workouts. But exercise is critical for successful and healthy weight loss. Exercise is beneficial for your heart and your soul. So start an exercise program.

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
