All Diets Work--No Diets Work

Have you lost weight in the past only to regain it a short time later? Have you followed every diet including Atkins- South Beach- the Drinking Man/' s diet- the Peanut Butter diet- or even the Chocolate Diet? All of these diets work- and none of them work- meaning you can and probably do lose weight on any of them- but you won/' t keep it off. Why not? Because the day will come when the diet is over and you/' re right back to your regular routine; the same routine that got you fat in the first place.

In the past diets carried a warning not to stay on them longer than the prescribed period; usually two weeks- some a mere three days. Today/' s popular diets are attempting to style themselves as lifestyle choices- but this isn/' t working either. People want to be able to eat a sandwich now and then. They want the burger and the bun! Strive for balance choosing foods you prefer- and you/' ll have a better chance at lasting weight loss success.

Small Changes: Big Answer to Weight Loss Blues

Start today- and work one day at a time making one or two small changes such as switching to the calorie-free soft drinks then weaning yourself down to two or less a day (if you drink more than that now of course). Changes don/' t have to be drastic. In fact trying to make drastic changes in your lifestyle never works because while you may be happy in the beginning- you slowly grow miserable toward the end. In fact- that/' s the problem right there: you anticipate an end.

Talk to people who/' ve lost weight and kept it off. They/' ll say- "This is a lifestyle." It/' s about choices you make every day. Are you choosing to take an extra helping- even though you/' re comfortably full? Change that one behavior and you/' re on your way. Do you choose to take the bag of chips to the couch? Change that- in fact just stop eating on the couch entirely and you/' re one step closer. Eliminate the habit of grabbing a few bites on your way past the candy dish- that alone can shave several pounds. I once lost eight pounds simply by eliminating the candy dish I kept at my desk (not to mention the money I saved not buying a couple pounds of candy a week).

Choose one small habit or behavior at a time- not your entire existence- and you/' ll have a much better chance to reach your weight loss goals.
