OwnPace: The Truth about Weight Loss... Part 1

Weight loss can be very challenging but what is even more challenging is keeping the weight off. Have you ever lost weight using any method and then gained it right back? If yes, then keep reading.

When it comes to weight loss, for most people it’s a never-ending vicious cycle of gaining and regaining weight. The most prevalent reason this happens is we use none sustainable ways to achieve the initial weight loss. Most peoples only idea for weight loss is reducing calorie intake and removing certain foods from their diet completely. The problem here is humans are hardwired to resist any type of restriction especially dietary restrictions. Have you ever tried any of the popular diets, or weight loss methods and just couldn’t complete it or do it all the time, so you gave up. I’ll be the one to tell you most of those things work, but not for long. Low calorie diets, slimming teas, fat loss pills, juicing, meal replacements, fat loss 30 day challenges, and any other thing you can think of, they all work in someway but the problem comes when their effectiveness starts to diminish or you just can’t do them anymore. I can almost guarantee if you do a 7-day juicing, you’ll lose some weight. Even better, I have a 3-day diet that will give you a 5 – 10 pound weight loss.

The thing is you just can’t juice for the rest of your life or do my 3-day diet everyday. So most people go back to their normal eating habits and boom, they gain the weight back and sometimes even more. Want to see for yourself, watch this

 

Through my years of training and research, what I believe we undoubtedly need when it comes to keeping the weight off is a weight maintenance program. There are new weight loss programs popping up every other day, but nobody is really addressing how to maintain it. So, once you’ve accomplished your initial weight loss hopefully through better lifestyle habits, then we have to shift the focus away from weigh loss and toward healthier living and weight maintenance over time.

A few quick things to think about

·      Do know what a set point weight is?

·      Do you know how the human body responds to dietary restrictions?

·      Did you know your body naturally reverts to a set point weight?

My goal is to be able to shift your perceptions on weight loss so you can escape the seemingly never-ending cycle of losing weight.

If you are struggling with your initial weight loss, follow the steps in the links below and watch the pounds fall off.
