You Do Not Need A “Diet” To Lose 20 Pounds or 100 Pounds

Losing weight has been one of the hardest battles I have ever attempted to win. There are some days that go great and then there are those days that just make me want to give up and accept that I am going to remain a fat person. What I have learned in the frontlines of the weight loss battle that it is a life long endeavor. I have learned that a person needs more than just a spark of motivation. A person needs to have sustained motivation.

All too often when a person attempts to lose 20 pounds or 100 pounds there comes a point where you wonder if you are ever going to reach the finish line. The problem all too often is that we equate losing weight to starting a “diet”. The fallacy of that premise is that a “diet” is not what it takes to lose the weight and achieve a healthy life style and therein lies the problem. All too often people get it backwards. They start a “diet” so the will be able to lose weight and become healthy. What a person does not realize is that if it is a “diet” there is a start date and an end date. The start date becomes the day you decide to “diet” and the end date is when you achieve that magical weight. The flaw to this theory is that which happens when (and if) you lose the weight. Is your “diet” over? Do you then go back to your old habits?

The correct and the more sustainable method to lose weight is by starting a healthy lifestyle which will set the weight loss into motion. Once you start eating healthier foods and exercising and sleeping better hours your weight will kind of just go away. By starting a healthy lifestyle there is no end date just a new healthy you that will be thinner.

So the simplest advice is that you skip the diet and start a “live-it”. By not starting a diet and simply eating better foods you will have changed your diet and that change alone will lead you into a new and healthier and thinner you to enjoy the rest of your own personnel forever.
