Think you can’t lose weight? Any particular reason you think you can’t shed a few pounds? Sadly the majority of people who want to lose weight get it in their heads that they simply can’t lose weight. They think the weight loss demons are stopping them from them from dieting with a magical spell or something.
The truth is they are reluctant to lose any weight at all. They would be happy to simply carry on as they are. Openly though, they will still claim to want to lose weight but can’t seem to manage it.
Losing weight is no big deal. It’s a mathematical equation, pure and simple. You need to burn off more calories than you eat. If we eat more than we burn off we get fat. Period.
The other perspective is that you will lose weight if you burn off more than you eat. They you have the big problem, today’s food is so packed full of calories it’s almost immoral. If you compared what you should be eating against what you do eat you would give yourself a funny turn. I kid you not.
Let’s take a simple exercise, say doing side bends to try to burn off your love handles. You can lose weight by doing these, lots of these. How many you have to do is anyones guess as it’s simply a balancing act between burning calories and eating calories.
It’s easy to consume a full days calories in one go. Honestly! Fast food carries a huge amount of blame. Even the non sweet stuff can be packed with sugar. Sugar makes you get hungry quicker after digestion.
The body changes everything we eat into energy in the form of glucose (simple sugar). You can start to feel hungry again quite quickly after eating sugary foods as they get used up by the body very quickly. Some view our current (sugar packed) diets as a western world conspiracy to get us eating more, and ultimately spending more on food.
The more food we eat, the more money we spend, the more big industry gets rich. A simple formula for the big corporations to get rich. Of course, the simplest way to get us eating more is adding sugar to everything we eat.
It’s a bit like in some bars. Free pretzels and peanuts get us eating salt, the salt makes us thirsty, we buy more drinks. So, in conclusion to all this, the fact of the matter is you will lose weight by simply eating slightly less than you burn off. Can you do this on your own? I doubt it as the western worlds collective willpower is on the floor.
You need a system to follow. Something to hold your hand every step of the way. Something that will guarantee you lose weight if you follow it to the letter. If you’ve tried other methods and they’ve not worked, it’s maybe time you tried something with a new approach
