It Takes a Life Style Change to Get Healthy and Lose Weight

Losing weight is extremely difficult. People turn to fast diets and get discouraged when they have no long-term success. I think you should use the method of lifestyle change to succeed. 

What is a lifestyle change?
Defined by Webster- The lifestyle, "particularly people of life" Change "Do different: alter, change to another: .. Substitute to be different going from a condition or state to another .. Noun: The alteration, modification, transformation. 

I define myself: When you are willing to do things that are in their best interest, which may be outside your comfort zone. Do something different because it is better for your mind, body and soul to do just what you want ... ie 

o If you are used to eating dessert after every meal, and now may only have them once a month, or a change 

of lifestyle. • If used to eating out and eat everything on your plate and now eat half and take half home for another meal, a change of lifestyle. • If used to define a healthy breakfast, like bacon, eggs, fried potatoes, toast (gelatin) glass of orange juice, but now that we defined, fruit, oatmeal, water, which is a style change life  
o If you take the stairs or walk all the opportunities compared to the elevator and driving everywhere, which is also a change of lifestyle. o If you exercise 4-5 days a week and enjoy it! That's really a lifestyle change.

I am an advocate of a healthy lifestyle as a way to lose weight.
You can become overweight or obese when you eat more calories (KAL-oh-Rees) is used. A calorie is a unit of energy in the foods you eat. Your body needs this energy to run and be active. But if you take more energy the body uses, you will gain weight. 

Therefore you should reduce your daily calorie intake or burn units of energy consumed through rigorous exercise. 

There really is no quick fix for losing weight. As one of my clients once said: "It took me 12 years to win this weight and I know I will not miss all night again." That's the best attitude to have on your weight loss experience. His starting weight was 115 pounds and is now 160 pounds. That was about 3.75 pounds per year. Not much, but showing how the weight sneaks up on you throughout the year. 

Losing weight safely is a journey and you will see a difference of only once it is decided that is committed to go on this trip. And no matter what, I will not resign. 

Experience has shown that the greatest success stories of weight loss come from people who practice their life style change over time. Instead of trying to lose weight quickly can take years to achieve their goals. 

I have another client that started in June of one year and later informed me that he had lost 57 pounds. and still losing. It took 16 months to loose weight and plans to lose at least 25 pounds more. So looking at your timeline in about 8 months is going to reach your goals. During that time period is 2 years will have achieved what I am advocating a change of lifestyle total. 

Undertakes follow an eating plan and exercise plan and make long term and you will see a difference in the way you look and feel.

Remember it is a lifestyle change.
