subject: How To Lose Weight After The Diet Plans Did Not Work [print this page] It is hard to lose weight permanently with diet plans. Many people lose weight in the beginning but then put weight back on again. There are a few reasons for this: the diet can be based on food you do not like or is hard to get; it can be boring if the diet is too limited; some plans leave you feeling hungry; some can be quite expensive. But you can lose weight
eating food you like and without spending a lot of money.
Healthy Weight Management
Good eating habits are the key to healthy weight management and the key to good health. By good eating habits, I mean eating healthy food that will not put on weight and eating regular meals. Healthy food, such as fresh fruit and vegetables, lean meat and fish, will not only provide the energy and nutrients you need but will help you lose weight. Eating regular meals, that is not going too long between meals, means eating your usual three meals a day as a minimum and snacking on healthy food in between meals. While snacking was once a no-no, most health professionals agree, more frequent meals are better than fewer, larger meals. But the snacks cannot be high-sugar or high-fat.
Lower Your Expectations
Everyone wants to lose weight instantly. Most of the advertisements for weight loss plans tell you how quickly you can lose weight. They usually have the examples and endorsement of one or more people telling you how quickly they lost weight and by how much. There is no reason to believe these people did not achieve what they say. But this raises false hope, because everyone is different. We do not know their circumstances, how much effort and time they devoted to the plan nor how much help they had from others. The problem is when you try it and it does not work, you are likely to think there is something wrong with you. You feel a failure and are ready to give up.
The Healthy Lifestyle Plan
Forget about commercial diet plans. Change to your own healthy lifestyle, healthy weight management plan. This plan will bring you good health, which means it will provide natural weight loss management, almost as a side effect. You do not have to set out to lose weight, even though that may be an important objective, you simply set out to become healthy. And this is not too difficult. There are two basic things you have to do: change to healthy food and do regular exercise. Cut out the high-sugar, high-fat food you may be eating now and replace it with high-fiber, low-fat, low-sugar food.
Do not worry about how fast you are losing weight. Focus instead on providing your body with the proper tools it needs to build its immunity to disease, to get rid of toxins through effective elimination and to strengthen the heart, lungs, bones and muscles. Your body will thank you by being healthier, stronger and leaner.
