Fat Loss Tips

A major problem for most dieters is motivation. Almost every dieter begins with the best of intentions when starting a weight loss plan, but if they run into a problem, those good intentions can fall apart very quickly and they are at a high risk for giving up and going back to the foods that make them gain weight in the first place.

I’ve discovered several strategies that benefit most people.

1. Adjusting the pictures in your mind.

2. Measuring

3. Keeping a journal.

4. Realizing that you are not perfect.

Many people who are overweight believe they’re losers in some way, shape, or form. Eating for them is a form of comfort therapy. They’re thinking, “As long as I have my soda and potato chips, I’m okay.”

This, of course, is a completely backwards way of thinking, but to the person who is thinking those thoughts, they’re true. This way of thinking must be changed. It’s vitally important to start thinking of yourself as a healthy person who is worthy of staying fit. This change in thinking does not come easily, but you can get there - if you practice. Altering your mental picture has a huge payoff.

You become what you imagine yourself to be by practice.

You can use a tape measure to get numbers if you want to, but I prefer pictures. When you start on a weight loss program, take pictures of yourself. Then imagine the new you, and get started.

A diary or a journal is an excellent way to chart your progress. You can write down the information by hand or you can work on the computer. The idea is to log in everything you eat and all the exercise you are doing. At the end of the first week, take a picture. By the time you take a look at the photos from week 3 or 4, you should be seeing real results. And when you look at the photos from weeks 10 through 12, you won’t be able to keep a smile off your face — the results will be dramatic.

When you slip up, and you will, you log that too. This will help you to see where you have a weakness.  But most important, don’t fuss and worry about it. Don’t try to double your exercise to make up for it.Just return to your routine, smile at yourself, and let it go.

Your body will love you for it.

The more you focus on the signals from your body, the more success you will have. As your fitness level increases, your body will begin to give you signals as to what it needs. If you ignore what your body is telling you, you are very likely to get another type of signal, and I’m not talking about a positive one.

For your body to function at its highest level, you need to be doing other things than just eating healthy foods and using a good exercise routine. Enteric-coated pharmaceutical-grade fish oil is one of those things.

The daily addition of pharmaceutical grade enteric coated fish oil has many benefits. It optimizes your joint mobility, aids in the function of your brain and nervous system and has many cardiovascular benefits. Add it to your routine - every day.

pharmaceutical grade fish oil has been a part of my daily routine for a long time, but if I happen to miss a few  doses, I really feel it, particularly in my joints.

(Hey … it’s your joints talking. You forgot to give us our fish oil yesterday and the day before. Here is a little message for your elbow…yep, it hurts, so next time don’t forget about us!)

Traveling, which I do a great deal of, seems to be the time when I most often forget to take my fish oil. I came up with the great idea to bring some extra with me, in those “travel only” bottles. The bottles are with me at all times and are a great reminder.
