Diet, Weight Loss-Dying For Food

Losing The Weight

     How's everyone doing on your weight loss? This is how I see it work The first few days you will have dropped a few pounds. It's water weight not fat, but please don't discount it. Just feeling thinner and seeing the scale drop a few is enough to give you that boost to want to drop more.

    I believe that your body will make you eat enough food to keep you at the weight you are. For example, today I've eaten less than I usually eat. Now for the rest of the day I feel like I need to eat. When I eat that extra food I am satisfied because I now have eaten enough to maintain my current weight. If I did not eat the extra meal I would feel that I didn't eat enough. I'll want more food but if I can resist and do this routine again for the next several days or a week, I will have reset my inner food meter to eat just enough to maintain my new weight. It doesn't matter if you are thin or obese your body is set to maintain your current weight and you must willingly and consciously eat more or less food to reset this automatic system..

     I believe what begins to happen is that your stomach feels like it has shrunk and after several days, less food fills you just as before when a larger amount of food filled you. I think it's more important to eat smaller portions than it is to eat large portions of low fat and low cal foods. Eventually you will eat regular foods and you'll still feel the need to eat large portions. Drop the amount of food and you will get used to smaller portions and you will lose weight.

     When you gain weight it's because you eat past the level of feeling full and eat till you are uncomfortably stuffed. This is a dangerous thing to do because you are again beginning to reset your system. photo credit: USDAgov via photopin cc

Friends and Family

By now you should have told people that you are trying to loose weight and they may offer you their own suggestions as to how you might accomplish this. Listen politely but tell them you have your own plan if you wish.

You may want to invite them to eat with you. This is for your own incentive because you don't want them to think bad of you so you may be more likely to follow your plan. You may also want to let people know that calling you names and criticizing hurts and doesn't help you to stick to your diet. You need them to cheer you on. Good Luck!

Don't Say Don't

I have heard and believe that our minds do not hear negative words. For instance, if I tell you not to picture an elephant, before you can think of something else, the elephant image is already in your head.

In light of this information I would like to suggest that instead of saying, don't overeat, say eat a small portion, or instead of don't eat cake, say eat an apple. This is just another little trick you might want to try to help your diet.

HCG , Hormone Help

     HCG stands for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin which is a natural hormone and is better known as the pregnancy hormone. This hormone helps our bodies to use stored fat as energy. Although it's sometimes called the pregnancy hormone it works well in small amounts in non-pregnant women and even men.

    When you are overweight you carry too much stored fat and the more you overeat the more fat will be stored. HCG will help to burn off that fat better and faster than going on a starvation diet. If you deny yourself food your body can burn off more muscle than actual fat

     You do need to cut your calorie intake while taking this hormone so that you can attack the fat in two ways. The first being the hormone that brings into use the stored and unused fat so that your body can burn it, and the second being that by cutting your caloric intake you are not redepositing more fat.

     By combining this type of weight loss diet with some form of exercise you should be on your way to a new slim, healthier you.
