Most women want to look slim and sultry, but they often resort to crash dieting which totally undermines their efforts
. While they do work for a short period of time, perhaps to knock off five pounds before a wedding or vacation, the weight usually returns and may even bring a friend or two along with it. Crash diets and rebounding weight gain are notoriously connected but the cycle can be stopped and significant long term weight loss can occur and it will stay off through the use of a good plan.
How long have you honestly fought the same 5, 10, 20 pounds or more? It often becomes so much of a habit trying to diet that we never actually succeed. Wouldnt it be nicer to have actually lost 5 pounds for instance at the end of the next two weeks rather than thinking you can have it off in 5 days and not getting anywhere? This is the cycle that needs to stop in order to realize significant success and meet your goals.
People want to lose weight fast often because it does give the impetus needed to stick with a diet through instant gratification. There is nothing wrong with that, so long as the food that is consumed is nutritious and some exercise is incorporated into the program. It doesnt need to be extreme exercise, just adding activity into daily routines or going for a half hour walk after dinner will result in a gradual change. Over time noticeable results will occur, and you will find that you are feeling better physically and it will build on itself with more activity. This is the exact opposite of the downward spiral which happens from eating the wrong foods and a lack of activity.
So what type of foods and activity give the best results? Eating a balanced meal with a lot of focus on fruits and vegetables which are low in calories while being filling are a good way to begin. Grains such as wild rice, complex carbohydrates such as beans which also provide some protein are also great additions. Eating low fat cuts of beef provide the protein that is needed to help build muscles and combat hunger during exercise.
Strengthen the core of your body with targeted exercise programs to increase resting metabolic rate which allows your body to burn more calories and fat even when not working out. This also strengthens abs and lifts the chest resulting in a trimmer and leaner overall appearance. Hips and thighs will also begin to tone down and you will see a new you who is slim and sultry in no time.
