Introduction
Countless people struggle with weight loss and wonder what they’re doing wrong. They try FAD diets they read about on the Internet that promise rapid weight loss. But they never deliver.
The bottom line is this. If you’re going to lose weight and stay fit, you have to think long term lifestyle changes. You can’t eat a banana or a bowl of cabbage soup for three days and think you’ve succeeded in your weight loss goal. You haven’t. You’ve only developed a nasty habit of Yo-Yo dieting. I know that’s probably not what you wanted to hear. Most people want instant gratification when they make that all important decision to get fit and lose weight. And while I will show you that you can actually jump start your metabolism so you can lose weight faster, it’s not instantaneous and it doesn’t come without hard work and dedication.
I’ve literally worked with millions of people in person and on the Internet and helped them reach their goal of losing weight and getting fit because I’m honest about what it takes to reach that milestone. I bring all that I taught them to you in this eBook Elite Weight Loss.
Let’s get one thing clear before I go any further. I’m not going to coddle you. But I’m also not going to make promises I can’t keep. In this eBook I’m going to give you straight talk about what it takes to rapidly lose weight and get fit in a healthy way. I’m going to show you exactly what you need to do, step-by-step, so you can reach your weight loss goal and keep that weight off for the long term. There are no quick fixes to long term weight loss.
Here’s a little of what I’m going to cover:
Don’t lose your time, you can get it where
Why 95% of All Diets Fail
You may have heard this alarming statistic before.
95% of all diets fail.
If you’re the one who is standing on the springboard of a new diet program, seeing a statistic like this can be deflating. It doesn’t motivate many people to even try to lose weight because a vast majority of those who diet and lose even a little weight will eventually put all that weight (and many times more) back on as soon as they stop dieting. Bingo!
Therein lies the problem. Diets are doomed to fail right from the start because most people view diets as a short term solution, something they can follow for a set period of time to get the desired results and then just stop. Sure, anyone can be motivated to follow a diet plan for a few weeks or even a few months. But unless it’s a diet plan they can follow for life, they’re doomed to fail.
It doesn’t really matter if you believe that statistic or not. Quite frankly, it could easily be that 99% of all diets fail, or maybe even closer to 90%. But ask yourself this. Do you want to be in the percentage that fail? You wouldn’t be reading this eBook if you did.
Weight gain is the product of not paying attention to what you put in your body, how often you do it and when. It’s a bad habit to get into, even if you’ve never struggled with your weight. Bad eating habits don’t always just promote weight gain. They also produce long term health problems, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, constipation, fatty liver, heart disease and more.
When you crash diet, you put your metabolism on a roller coaster ride. Instead of speeding up and giving your body more energy, the lower calorie intake that normally goes with a crash diet puts your body in “famine” mode. Your body will hold onto whatever “energy” it has. That energy is stored in fat cells. That’s why it takes more calories to lose weight than gain weight. Your body doesn’t want to let go of what it knows it needs to survive.
If you want to succeed in your diet, you have to stop thinking of FAD diets as the answer to your problem. You need to think long term, healthy eating that will help promote a healthy metabolism, not send it into shock. You also have to look at your lifestyle and learn how to incorporate fat burning exercises into your daily life so you not only lose weight, but you maintain that weight loss for life.In the next chapter, we’ll talk more about how to kick start your metabolism and turn it into a fat burning furnace by eating the right foods and changing your eating habits.
Turn Your Metabolism into a Fat Burning Machine!
We’ve already established that your old habits will have to go before you can finally reach your goal of losing weight. I know it’s a struggle. You’ve lived your whole life cementing this way of life and now I’m asking you to kick it to the curb.
Chances are, the lifestyle that led you to gaining weight also gave you a sluggish metabolism. But that’s okay. I’ve worked with thousands of people who have sluggish metabolisms and shown them how to turn it around. They now have a metabolism that works for them, not against them. You can have the same thing if you follow my steps.
Make sure you Eat Enough Healthy Foods
The operative word when thinking of food is “healthy”. It’s not enough to simply eat enough food to keep your metabolism running at optimal performance. You need foods that will give your body energy while allowing it to function with a minimal amount of effort.
For instance, if you start the day out great by having a healthy breakfast of yogurt, eggs and toast but then skip lunch and eat a big dinner, you’ve thrown your body off balance by making the end of the day top heavy with calories. Most people are more sedentary at the end of the day and like to relax. That means that whatever it is you’re eating is sitting in you while you relax rather than being burned off as you go about your day.
Furthermore, when you skip a meal, you’re famished by the time you finally do get to eat later in the afternoon or early evening. You’re body is only going to use what it needs at that particular moment and nothing more. By the end of the day, you’ve already burned most of the calories you are going to burn during the day. Your body ends up storing those excess calories in your body fat and keeps them in reserve for the next time you skip a meal.
This can become a vicious circle of you’re trying desperately to cut back calories by skipping meals and your body is desperately trying to hold on to whatever nourishment it can get. Not only will you fail in your quest to lose weight, you’ll become frustrated because all your efforts aren’t giving you the results you desire.
The best way to ensure that your body has the nutrients it needs to burn fat during the day when you’re active and when your body needs it the most is to eat smaller portions more frequently. Instead of eating 3 big meals a day, eat 5 or 6 smaller meals.
Start your day with proteins and any carbohydrates you might want to have during the course of the day. Your body will burn those carbohydrates when you’re most active. End the day with proteins and fresh vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, kale, etc. Avoid having lots of carbohydrates later in the day when you’re winding down and not able to burn those carbohydrates off.
Eat plenty of “good” fat
The first thing people tend to think about cutting from their diets when they decide to lose weight is fat. It’s true that most Americans eat way too much fat for their bodies to handle. That fat contributes not only to weight gain, but other health issues that are detrimental.
But not all fats are created equal. Think of a bicycle wheel. Too much heavy grease will gum up the wheel and prevent it from turning. On the flip side, no grease at all will keep the wheel from spinning properly as well.
Herein lies the issue of good fat and bad fat in your diet. Not all fats are bad for you or will prevent you from losing weight. You just need to be able to identify which fats are good fats and which are fats you need to avoid.
Polyunsaturated fats also help lower LDL cholesterol levels as well as aid in weight loss. Foods rich in polyunsaturated fat are salmon, cod, corn and sunflower oils, flaxseed and other fish oils. Foods that contain polyunsaturated fat also contain Omega 3 Fatty Acids, which help aid the body in weight loss.
