HERE ARE A COUPLE OF POINTS TO GRASP AS YOU PREPARE
TO BECOME A HEALTHIER YOU.
Americans spend billions of dollars each year pursuing
leanness and youthfulness. These quick-fix diet programs
don’t work long term because they do not produce
lasting solutions. Beyond the negative physiological
impact of repeatedly losing and regaining weight,
the psychological impact can be devastating. Start
now to avoid the disappointment and frustration that
can be so demoralizing.
Why Most Quick-Fix Diets Fail:
2. New behaviors, healthy eating habits, good food
choices and smart “trade off” eating cannot
be learned if you are relying on fad diets, special
products, etc. “Food replacements” are
not serious food “trade-offs”, nor are
they “habit replacements”.
3. Standardized programs become boring and too rigid
to follow long-term. By choosing your own personalized,
varied eating plan, you’ll enjoy your meals
and “stay with the program” for lifetime
success.
4. Your metabolism slows down. Fast weight loss means
muscle loss. When you lose weight more slowly and
exercise, your body can begin to burn more body fat,
retain muscle, boost your metabolism, speed weight
loss, and keep the weight off.
5. Medical complications can arise from some diets
and/or from repeated weight loss/gain “seesawing”.
REMEMBER:
There is no “MIRACLE CURE” to melt fat
away! A Healthy Weight = eating right + exercise +
sensible lifestyle habits!!!
Commit Yourself To Un-Learning Old Behaviors
And Re-learning New Ones.
Eating is on of our most complex behaviors. Eating
behaviors are deeply entrenched and learned through
a lifetime of family, ethnic, cultural and religious
customs. Fortunately, just as we learn how to eat,
we can re-learn to eat. New behaviors enable us to
attain and maintain a desired weight. To get stared,
don a fresh attitude, an open mindedness and a commitment
to change.
