A Journey to Begin Losing Pounds

Usually, we all seek to lose weight as fast and easy as possible, and in top of that we want results right away. And if we don’t get them, we just quit and move along.

Frequently we become objective (to lose 1 pound every week) and if in one week it lowers solely a half pound or what is worse, nothing happens, you get frustrated and that can lead one to no longer continue with the plan I set and then I just quit it.

Even there are times the people unconsciously set goals that are too hard to obtain so that we can leave it quickly, nobody (and I include myself) wants to follow a diet!!!

We make it because it is healthy but when we choose what it tastes better.

Does anybody like lettuce?

If you want to follow your plan, you need to set reasonable and reachable goals. A study stated that when people lower 500 calories per week, those people maintain long term descent.

It is the best objective that we can intend, to lower 500 calories for a week and knowledge that some weeks you won't lose weight. If you want to lower quicker, we can also help you, of course, but you have to be conscious that in some moments your losing weight rate won’t be the one as desired. And we don't want to frustrate ourself. For that reason, the following week we will achieve those results.

The body is not something that reacts mathematically, the weight depends on many factors, like the retention of liquids, the intestinal evacuation, the time in which weigh myself, the food ingested the previous night, if you ingested pizza or another very salted food you will surely retain liquids, the same as if you began with an intense activity the previous day.

Another cause of failure in a diet is to be very strict with what you have to eat.

If you go to a party and don't eat anything, or same at home if you are extremely strict, it is very difficult to be able to maintain the plan and in the first time you go out, you will think “I cannot maintain my diet" or "this is not for me", frustrating yourself once again, abandoning it and feeling badly.

These 2 forms of thinking "if I don't lower 1 pound per week every week I’m not doing anything good at all" or "I can’t make the diet because I ate an ice cream" are forms in that consciously or unconsciously plot against the diet for ourselves.

In fact, we don't want to make diets. We just accept it!

Nobody wants to diet, but they want to lose weight. Unfortunately, these 2 factors are really joined together at the hip and make it work for us.

Perhaps it is time that you start making choices, and make decisions in order to choose which path you want to go. By just choosing to remain healthy, you will get results.
