Weight Loss Myths And Facts

T

HERE ARE MANY COMMON WEIGHT LOSS MYTHS THAT PEOPLE LIVE

by when it comes to their health.

It is difficult at times to separate the weight loss myths and fact from what is true.

Many sound true while others are just laughable.

I once read somewhere that if you drink water at night that you are going to gain weight or that if you scratch your head too often you are going to lose your hair.

Weight Loss Myth 1: The more weight that I have to lose the more intense my exercise routine should be Weight Loss Truth: Although having an intense workout routine is great, there are a few things you should consider.

The first being that everyone at a different level when it comes to their fitness and how much intensity they can actually handle.

If you have been physically inactive for a number of years, an intense work out for you might be, walking half a mile a day.

After you walk that half mile you notice that you are sweating bullets and that you are tired.

However, for someone who has been physically active for many years, walking half a mile can be done without a sweat. Everyone has a different definition of what intense is.

If intense for you is working out for an hour a day, but due to life's busy schedule you only have time for 20 minutes a day, then those 20 minutes will go an extremely long way.

It might not necessarily be classified as intense - according to your definition but those little cardio moments will have positive health altering effects.

Fat Loss Myth 2: Stress and weight gain do not go hand in hand Weight Loss Fact: This is one of those laughable myths.

Top Weight Loss Myths And Facts 3 Weight Loss Myth 3: I can lose weight while eating whatever I want Weight Loss Truth: Sir Isaac Newton once said What Goes Up Must Come Down.

There are natural principles that govern our lives.

If you throw a ball up in the air, it is going to come back down. You can sit on your couch and imagine and visualize that the ball will staying afloat in the air, but natural principles teach us that it will come down.

Same goes when it comes to our weight.

This is one of the most common weight loss myths out there. It is illogical to think that your health and weight are going to be in balance if your nutrition consists mainly of twinkles, chips, and donuts.

Sure you can burn it off by exercising, but most people whose diet consists of mainly junk food are probably not disciplined enough to stick to a workout routine.

I do know a few people who, from the outside, look like they are in good shape, because they are not "fat, but who have high cholesterol.

Just because I feel sorry for crushing the hearts of so many twinkie lovers out there, I would say this.

You can eat junk food, cookies, chips, ice cream, pizza and burgers. All of those soul satisfying foods but it should be in moderation.

Anything in excess is never good.

Fat Loss Myth 4: Skipping meals is a good way to lose weight Weight Loss Fact: There are numerous studies that show that people who skip breakfast and eat fewer times during the day tend to be a lot heavier than who have a healthy nutritional breakfast and then eat 4-6 small meals during the day.

The reason to this might be the fact that they get hungrier later on in the day and might have a tendency to over eat during other meals of the day.

Weight Loss Myth 5: I will not lose weight while eating at night Weight Loss Truth: You can over indulge in food during the day and not eat a single thing at night and you WILL gain weight.

As is the fact that you can starve yourself during the day and eat all night long and you still will gain weight.

The key here is balance. If your body is telling you that it is hungry then perhaps you should listen to it.

The truth is, that over eating, while not exercising, will cause you to gain weight; no matter what time of the day that you eat.

Whenever I am hungry at night, as is my habit with other meals during the day, I try to select something that is natural in nature.

Something like fruits, vegetables, or I might even make myself a fruit smoothie.

Top Weight Loss Myths And Facts 3 During those moments that I am craving ice cream or something sweet, I allow myself to get some and DO NOT feel guilty about it.

Many people who are overweight live their life in guilt and shame.

However, I allow myself to get some with moderation.

Fat Loss Myth 6: I am not acceptable until I lose weight Weight Loss Fact: The person who doesn't feel acceptable because they are fat is because they are not acceptable to themselves first.

The way that you think others view you is based on your view of yourself. I honestly believe that one must become emotionally fit before becoming physically fit.

I have gone through these self-limiting emotions before.

Once I realized that I was already enough in the eyes of God and that I had no need to prove myself to anyone or to receive external validation for my self-worth that made all the difference for me.

Once you accept yourself as who you are right now and realize that you are already enough in the eyes of God, you will not feel like you are not acceptable because of your weight.

1. Want It! In order to be successful at weight loss, you have to want to lose the weight.

You must commit to this want, not just say that you want to lose the weight.

The best way to commit to losing weight is to make a goal, write it down, then stick to it.

A goal does not have to be just about the weight you lose or want to lose.

You could write a goal using your body measurements or percentage of body fast lost, or it may be your desirable clothing size.

Set your goals in a way that they are attainable.

For example, I want to lose 15 pounds by Christmas or I want to drop 2 dress sizes by my sister's wedding.

Once you have set your larger goals, you need to set smaller ones to make sure you are on schedule to achieving your long-term goal.

Keep track of your goals by using a weight loss chart, a food journal, or an exercise chart.

Keeping a journal is the best way to track the foods you eat, the amount of water you take in, the amount of daily exercise, and to daily write out those goals.

You can even track how you are feeling throughout the day.

This will help in knowing whether you are eating because of a particular mood or not.

Keeping a journal is good way to stay committed to your weight loss.

2. Keep It In The Kitchen One of the worst habits that people have is not eating at the kitchen table.

They are either standing to eat while doing other things or they are in front of the television.

Experts say that generally people who eat while watching television eat larger servings of food.

Our focus is on what we are watching, not what we are eating.

We need to move away from our family rooms and back into the kitchen.

During this time eat slowly and spend some time with your family. Talk to the spouse and children.

Pay attention to what you are eating as well as how much you are eating.

When you eat slower, your stomach will have the time needed to signal you that you are full and you will not have over-eaten and feel miserable.

3. Throw Out Temptation In order to remain faithful to your weight loss regime, you must remove all temptation from your cabinets, freezer, and vehicle.

Replace the candy and fatty foods with the right foods.

Sugar-free gelatin and pudding is a wonderful way to take care of that sweet tooth in a correct portion without adding a lot of calories.

Low-fat popcorn or low-fat flavored popcorn is another wonderful replacement to fatty snacks.

Try not to eat unhealthy snacks for a couple of weeks.

Keep a bag of crunchy vegetables, like carrots handy to help with hunger.

Most crunchy veggies tend to satisfy you more and are lower in calories.

4. Find Support Weight loss is a challenge alone, but with a partner, it will seem much easier.

Look for a weight loss support group on-line or a forum.

Facebook even has support groups.

If you prefer, not to have someone on-line then start your own support group in your home or someone else's home.

Otherwise, all weight loss companies offer a support group or sometimes a little one-on-one counselling. .

Your support groups can include family, friends, co-workers or even your neighbors.

Your group could be as large or as small as you like.

Ask everyone you know to support you in your weight loss endeavors with some encouragement.

5. Stop Bad Habits Most learned or old habits are hard to break.

It is time we make a change. We do not have to eat everything that is on our plate.

Most of grew up knowing that we must eat everything on our plates because there are starving children in Africa. It is okay to leave a little food on our plates every now and again.

We need to listen to our bodies and stop eating when we are full. We must eat smaller portions of our food.

We need to avoid having seconds. Try to eat 6 small meals instead of 3 large ones.

Eat breakfast, have a morning snack, eat lunch, have an afternoon snack, eat dinner, have an evening snack.

When you eat out at a restaurant either order from the children's menu or ask when you order for the waitress to bring you a to go box.

When the food arrives, place half or more of the food into the to go box.

6 Add Variety You need a little variety in your life.

This goes for food too. You will get bored eating the same thing week in and week out.

Once this boredom hits, you will slip back into your old habits.

Eat a little something from each of the major food groups, including fruits, vegetables, protein, dairy, whole grains, and fats.

In order to stay energized, eat 5-6 small meals everyday.

This also helps your metabolism. Eat a protein with most meals, including eggs, beans, lean cuts of meats as well as fish.

If you are watching your sugars, also watch the amount of fruit you are consuming.

Also you need to eat a variety of both fruits and vegetables. Don't just eat the same foods daily.

Remember the key is variety.

And when you reach your goals celebrate by treating yourself to something such as a night out or a new outfit to make your weight loss even sweeter.

Another aspect of your weight loss program could be a food diary.

By writing down all the food and drink you take in during the week you will find it easier to see where you are going wrong.

You can review the diary at the end of each week to get a clearer picture of just how much calories you really are consuming.

If your diet looks healthy and yet you still aren't losing any weight, you could need to look at your portion sizes to make sure you are simply not eating too much.

Any changes that you do make will be most effective if introduced gradually.

This will mean that you are more likely to stick to them, meaning you can introduce more without feeling under too much pressure.

Easy changes to make include; swapping white bread for brown bread, full fat milk for half fat milk, cutting out snacks etc.

You should also choose a weight loss program that encourages gradual weight loss rather than immediate weight loss.

By doing this, the weight you lose is more likely to stay off and, by setting achievable monthly targets rather than unrealistic weekly targets, you are more likely to meet them.

When choosing a weight loss program it is important that you choose one that is right for you.

The most important factor to consider is your health, so don't be choosing a plan that has outrageous claims and could possible be risky.

Set achievable goals and make changes that you are likely to stick to for the rest of your life, keeping the weight off for good.

Also make these changes and stick to them is to make a weight loss program. This can be used to set out your targets, how you are going to achieve them, and changes as they occur.
