Successful Weight Loss

If you've just started reading this article then you're probably looking for the miracle cure or pill that's going to treat you of all your unwanted bodyfat. Well, I can't promise you that but I can pretty much guarantee that you'll see a different approach to the next diet that you'll try and get some better results. So, what’s the next craze to hit the industry? Juggling with kettlebells on a bosu ball just to get the pulse racing? Seriously, where are we going wrong?
Well firstly, there are a lot of desperate people who will do anything to lose those unwanted pounds of stubborn bodyfat but unfortunately want to lose it all way too quickly and with no extra effort. Well when I say anything, what I really mean is anything that’s involves taking a magic pill. Well I’m sorry but there’s no such thing and even if there was, wouldn’t you rather lose weight and feel healthy at the same time? Let’s face it, what exactly drew you to this article, it wouldn’t be the title fat loss would it?
Now what were you really expecting, something so new and unheard of that even Hollywood haven't caught onto it yet? If so, then we’ve got problems. If you thought that maybe there’s a better approach to losing weight than what you’re doing right now then your right! So what’s the first step to take when you finally realize that you can’t lose weight by eating chips (something I read in a men’s mag). Well before you start dialing the number for your nearest weight watchers or slimming world club (my personal opinion is don’t bother), you need to get your mind ready for action.
Remember everything you do comes from the mind so if your mind isn’t ready, you’re on the familiar road to failure. Take a minute to count how many times you've decided to start a new diet only to wake up and not bother? What’s worse, you then feel that’s it’s then expectable to eating crisps, chocolate or whatever you crave by telling yourself that it’s alright because your diet starts tomorrow!!! If you were mind set on your diet in the first place, you wouldn’t have chocolate or crisps or whatever you crave for you own in your home!
This is also very true for the latest gym exercise fad or January/February rush. “Right, that’s it….I’m joining a gym and getting fit” or “there’s this great new body combat with real weapons and the instructor said it’s good because the fear of getting injured raises the metabolism.” Ok, so maybe a bit far fetched, but that persons been going to the gym for 3 months and hasn’t lost a single pound! All I am trying to reinforce here in my ‘grumpy old men style’ is to prepare your mind before you rush off to try the latest fad diet or exercise and stop looking for the miracle cure.
