Quick Weight Loss Diet Revealed

Posting a picture of some slinky stunner like Jennifer Annison on the refrigerator. Dreaming that within a month the expensive size 8 dress you bought to motivate your weight loss program will have replaced your existing size 14, is the perfect way to make yourself feel frustrated, angry and guilty.

Be realistic and set yourself achievable, small, step by step targets. If you decide to try this new-clothes motivation strategy, aim at going down a size at a time rather than wasting money on an impossible dream. If you continue to fantasize on about losing weight unrealistically fast, you will end up going on, and spending lots of money on, endless fad diets and those which promise quick weight loss.

Know and accept that there is no such thing as a meaningful, quick weight loss diet. There is no magic weight loss programme that will shrink your natural body size.

So what doesn't work?

Today, there are plenty of weight-loss myths that are guaranteed to fail. You will not achieve weight loss success with scammy quick fixes that are not based on healthy, balanced principles or the right mix of exercise and diet. These quick weight loss diet plans are just fads. They are latest hyped up, moneymaking fashion which, like all fashion, is here today and gone tomorrow. Leaving unfortunate casualties. Disillusioned, overweight people who realize too late that the diet they pinned their hopes on, didn't work. So off they go in hope to the next one.

Here are some of the tell-tale warning signs that should make you wary about any diet:

1. Skipping meals

Does your diet plan require you to skip a meal? If it does, then, it is very likely to be a fad diet. Not eating regular balanced meals is not a healthy, sustainable habit. For any people who are ill or have some deficiency it may even cause some serious side effects or problems. Skipping meals may cause cravings caused by low blood sugar. Stimulating you to eat some junk that won't be good for you or help your weight loss cause.

2. Dieting with no exercise, or exercise with no dieting

Exercise is crucial to keep the the human body working efficiently. It strengthens the heart and stimulates other body systems. Any diet plans that do not require you to exercise are inadequate. And if you believe the title of the book by Christopher McDougall humans are "born to run."

However, exercise alone is also not sufficient. Diet and exercise must go hand-in-hand.

In a nutshell, it is far better to rely on how you feel rather than the tale of the tape. If you are feeling energetic and positive about your healthy weight-loss efforts, and the scale tells you that you are not losing weight as fast as you would like, pat yourself on your back … you are just doing fine.

Never forget sustainable, meaningful weight loss requires lifestyle changes and is not an overnight process.
