Actually, dieting is counterintuitive as well as counterbehavioral. Our natural instinct is to feed ourselves and to do it well. We are not programmed to starve ourselves. In fact, a major reason why people experience weight-loss platearus while dieting is that the body is trying to protect itself from starvation, so its slows down the metabolism as a survival meachanism, to conserve body fat. And by the way, body fat, in moderation , does have a purpose.

Here are some tips , i like to share with you all Very Happy

* Allow the "bad" foods twice a week.
let yourself have the bowl of ice cream or the piece of cheesecake. One caveat: Have one serving, place it in or on a dish, sit down, breathe and eat it slowly. You must enjoy it ! Please do not disobey this rule. Dont feel guilty for eating it. Only feel guilty for not loving it. Got it ? This might be the hardest thing on this list. Cool

** Understand your reasons for wanting to lose weight
and do it only if the reason is coming from inside youself. Please dont try to lose weight to please someone else.

*** Move more
Even a little bit more. You dont need to join a gym. Just use the stairs, sweep the floor, park a few blocks from your destination, stretch-you get the idea. Become a mover

**** Eat fewer junk calories
Substitute with quality calories. Begin by replacing just one "white starch" with a serving of whole grains per day. Eat more calories from fruits, vagetables, beans and good oil.

***** Drink lots of water
Guzzle it all day !! Try replacing fruit juices and soda with water

****** Have patience
Look upon these adjustment as a deep, gradual change for the rest of your life. Simple as that . Cool
