There Is No Magic Pill! Building The Right Mindset For Losing Weight

Have you ever experienced waking up cold and hungry in the middle of the night, tip-toeing down the dark kitchen while slowly opening the fridge, only to feel guilty as soon as you gaze the food in front of you?

If your answer is yes, then you definitely have a problem.

Many people think that they can lose weight by depriving themselves of food. By trying to control hunger and not eating for extended periods of time, people think that they can quickly lose unwanted weight.

Although fasting can help you lose weight, feeling guilty about food and making “hunger” a part of your lifestyle isn’t going to help you in the long run. The biggest mistake that people make is that they treat food as an enemy, when in fact eating moderately in small quantities can even help you reach your weight loss goals!

Why Not Eating Only Makes Weight Loss Much More Difficult

When people try to control their weight by not eating, they are not only doing their body a big disservice. As a matter of fact, people who refrain from eating are doing the worst thing that one can do when trying to lose unwanted weight. You see, when you don’t eat properly for extended periods of time, your body thinks that you are low on resources (and it thinks that you are in a dangerous situation where you can’t find food). This situation prompts your body to slow down your metabolism in order to save as much energy as possible, making it harder to burn calories and lose weight.

If you really want to lose unwanted weight, depriving yourself of food and feeling guilty about eating is not the solution. You have to work hard, both physically and mentally, for you to reach your weight loss goals. Temporary fixes such as fasting and dieting can only bring you so far. Your body won’t be able to handle the stress and frustration caused by lack of food and you don’t want to suffer the consequences caused by forced hunger.

The Best Way To Lose Unwanted Weight – Exercise and Proper Diet

This will sound like a cliché, but the reality is, only a combination of good eating habits, a strong mental fortitude and physical exercise can help you lose weight in a healthy and permanent manner. Too many people have fallen prey to the belief that there is a magic pill out there: a pill that can automatically get rid of the weight they don’t want. But the truth is that there is no shortcut to losing weight permanently. Staying slim is a LIFESTYLE and not a FAD, something that you should realize as early as possible.

In theory, losing weight is actually very simple: just burn more calories than what you consume. You might think that by not eating and controlling your hunger, you are losing more calories than what you take in. But once your metabolism slows down due to prolonged periods of not eating and your body enters into “hibernation mode”, you are forcing your body to run efficiently on low fuel. Even the best cars can’t run if it is low on fuel. And if even machines can’t do it, then it is just fair to assume that this is definitely something that your body can’t do, especially for extended periods of time.

If you practice proper eating habits while doing regular physical exercise, you are also burning more calories than what you consume. But by following this method, you are not forcing yourself to be hungry and you are not slowing down your metabolism. As a matter of fact, doing regular exercise helps speed of your rate of burning calories! You are not only helping your body get rid of unwanted weight, but you are also improving your overall health.

The Need To Build A Strong Mental Fortitude Through Weight Loss Hypnosis

It goes without saying that a healthy body is often the fruit of a healthy mind. And if you want to lose weight through proper means, a strong mental fortitude is definitely required. It isn’t easy to commit yourself to a daily workload of exercise while eating proper foods in order to lose weight. Turning this habit into a lifestyle is even more difficult, which is why you have to possess a strong mental fortitude.

If you want to start building your mental strength, deep concentration through self-hypnosis can help you get started. By using the power of your mind and concentrating on a single, focal point such as losing weight, you can improve your chances of achieving your goals. Many people do not realize the untapped power behind the subconscious and focus only on what they can see. But without the strength, power and will of the mind, it will be difficult for anyone to adopt a healthy lifestyle. Your physical and mental health should always go side-by-side.
