I have battled with weight my whole life...I have been there and done that from counting calories to vegan to no sugar. You name it I have tried it. With all my life experiences with weight loss I learned one thing...stay away from diets. Look at the 3 letters in the word diet, DIE...You feel like your taking something away (Restriction) I don't know about you but these words don't sit well with me. Don't look at loosing weight as I will be happy when I am...so many pounds. Be happy with yourself, get excited that you are on a journey to a new and healthier you. It is a journey not a destination. Make it fun!!! Not a I have to.
Sure Restricting your calories will work short term. Until you honestly feel like you can't eat anymore rabbit food. Then you will gain it all back, and MORE! One good thing about this program "Calorie Restriction Diet Plan" is they finally got one thing right. Its more about quality of food and not quantity. A calorie is not just a calorie... They are empty calories and there is energy calories. A piece of chocolate cake is not the same as living food. Food God made, that have living enzymes. Personally I live by a 80/20 rule. 80% of something that doesn't come in a package, or is man made. I have tried to live a 100% all good and healthylife style (no sugar, white flour products, white rice, white pasta, soda diet) I can do it, but I also like to enjoy a few extras now and then. Life is to be enjoyed.. so a piece of dark chocolate once in a while is something I choose. It's my ratio, find one that works for you. The more living, natural foods the better.
Also one more key factor to loosing weight is do a little extra. I don't know you, if your a health buff, totally obese, or somewhere in between. Where ever you are...just do a little more than you would normaly do. Instead of driving around trying to find the closest parking spot to the store. Park far away, it gives you that little extra. Instead of taking the 'elevator, take the stairs. Find a hobby that you "ENJOY" (tennis, gardening, riding bike) it's important to enjoy what your doing...because if you enjoy it you will do it. Love what your doing, be passionate about it.
Remember when I said it's a journey not a destination...This is the golden nugget!! Change how you feel about loosing weight, and it will just melt right off of you. Get excited, vision that lean more heathier version of yourself. Give thanks daily for the person you are becoming. Say to yourself...I love being healthy, I choose to eat good foods. Everyday and everyway I am getting healthier and healthier. What ever works for you!!! If you feel like you can't loose weight...guess what YOU CAN'T!!! Soooo change what you say to yourselt to something that will empower you and get you closer to that lean mean fat burning machine. And Most important... enjoy the journey!
