The sad truth is the majority of people who go on a diet and lose weight, will gain it back and then lose it and then gain it back and so on. You get so tired of yo-yo dieting you almost totally give up from ever trying to lose the weight.
The key here is to change your lifestyle completely, for good. You know everything you should be doing to be healthier and fit, but you don’t quite follow through. It’s not your fault, it’s human nature.
Change is difficult, but change can improve your life and the longevity of your life. Maybe start with small steps and as you start feeling better and you are losing weight on a continuous basis you can increase the amount of changes you need to make.
Let’s say you eat potato chips every day no matter what. Okay, try switching to baked potato chips. After a while switch the baked potato chips to Kashi’s TLC party crackers which have seven whole grains and sesame, herbs, seeds and veggies. You still have that crunch you love, but now it’s healthier and there’s a big difference in the amount of fat.
Another example is if you eat an ice cream bar every evening, try a frozen fruit bar instead. Make sure you check the ingredients for sugar though.
You can make small, but important changes every day and before you know it you will have mastered moderation and balance when it comes to your diet. Don’t look at it like a diet, but rather you are getting healthy, lean and fit. Think of the years you will add to your life by making better food choices. When you are tired of yo-yo dieting you will be able to accomplish this much sooner and it will be easier.
At some point you need to start some form of physical activity. You don’t have to work out vigorously every single day, but you need to do something. It’s not just to lose weight, but physical activity is the easiest way to maintain your weight, after you’ve lost the amount you need to lose. Physical activity can reduce, if not eliminate many diseases. So if you’re tired of yo-yo dieting you can start today to change your life for the better.
