Lose Weight Yesterday

By June Travis

There are ways to lose weight quickly. Ways that are safe enough and will not harm your body. The key is not to stay on rapid weight loss diet for long periods of time.

There are others, all of which have been marketed aggressively across the country. People are ready to jump on any new diet that seems better than the last one that they tried. There are millions of books, radio and TV advertisements pushing diet after diet.

You can start off with the quick start for a few weeks. Then you will have to follow another regimen to take off more weight and keep it off. This is considered changing the way that you eat and that should be followed for the rest of your life.

The path to effectiveness is led by setting goals. Start by deciding the amount of weight that you wish to lose. Set that goal and don't be afraid to set even weekly weight loss goals.

If you set weekly goals and discover that they are unrealistic you can always change them later. No diet is going to work if you have to eat foods that you really don't care for. The best thing to do is to do a bit of research.

Find out how many calories and how much fat content are in the foods that you do enjoy. This will allow you to sort of custom create your own diet. Just be health conscious of what you decide on.

The best thing is to do a little research. Find out how many calories and fat are in foods you love. This allows you to sort of custom create your own regime.

Diets that are low in carbs and high in fats are nothing more than an invitation for heart disease. They promote food that you must avoid! That doesn't mean that you can eat as much bacon as you want to.

Fruits and Vegetables especially, are rich in fiber as well as antioxidants such as Vitamin C, carotenoids, flavonoids, etc which are proven to prevent heart disease and cancer. Low carb diets suggest these foods should be monitored. That doesn't sound right.

Only you know when the time is right for you to start a weight loss program. There may be factors that trigger when the time is right but it is a personal choice. It doesn't have to be hard and you don't have to dread it.

Watch what you eat! Select the best food choices. Be diligent and exercise and you will notice a difference.
