One Should Have A Lifestyle Change And Stop Dieting Now!

By Henry Wilson


A lot is told about losing weight. People have tried different means including having a diet to cut weight. Weight loss is about choosing a lifestyle which is challenging to do. This needs someone to be willing and get dedicated to it. It is imperative that you stop dieting now and instead, choose to live a good lifestyle, and the reasons for this are as below:

Firstly, it is important to differentiate between a lifestyle mentality and a diet mentality. Diet is about numbers. The result of taking the diet is the difference between the number of calories consumed and those lost. Making a decision to change your lifestyle involves taking care of what you are consuming and also taking care of the physical exercise, and aligning them with your goals and interests. The lifestyle change should make you feel good about yourself.

Diet mentality has the assumption that reaching a certain weight is the key to finding happiness and solving other problems.That's why when one messes on the numbers it becomes upsetting and could cause so much stress.On the other hand, lifestyle change assumes that being overweight is the results of other problems and not the cause.Hence, lifestyle will focus on a couple of things and not necessarily numbers on the scale.

When you are on a diet, one needs to check on a couple of things. One should know the amount of food to consume and detest from eating meals that are not of any healthy value. Being involved in some physical exercise is one way that you can take so that you can get to your desired body within the expected time.

When you chose to go for the lifestyle change, you will make both perpetual and inner changes in dealing with exercise and also food. You will realize that what is important is how you eat and the reason, as opposed to taking care of what you eat and the amount. The major factor is being aware of what you are eating and having the reason to do so. You will also learn how to take care of your body regarding the physical, the emotional and the spiritual. By doing this, you will not claim to eat to solve a problem.

Thus, the key to both permanent weight loss, becoming satisfied with yourself and with your life is taking personal responsibility for what you can control.Many factors affecting weight loss are out of your control such as your genes, Age, medical and previous weight history.The factors mentioned affect your weight and also how-how fast you can lose the weight too.

It is thus important that you do not only focus on numbers as it can drain you emotionally and yet it is beyond you. You will become uncomfortable, worried and stressed up. As a result, you will have challenges with emotional eating.

Also, relying on tools, rules, and external diet techniques means that you seize to be in control of yourself. These will demotivate you and make you powerless due to your expectations. You are the only person who can change all you want by changing your attitude to match your perspective.

Thus, we should focus on changing our lifestyle and bury the whole idea of diet as a way of shedding the weight and being comfortable with ourselves.
