10 Permanent Weight Loss Tips
By Maria Avon

Do you need to lose weight? Have you lost weight only to put it back on again (and then some!)? I am not a doctor or a nutritionist, but give you 10 permanent weight loss tips, I have gathered from a lifetime of personal experience in this field.

Tip 1: Start to-day: Start Now!

Ever figured that you would start losing weight tomorrow, next week, after the holidays or after the weekend ? The only perfect day is to-day - right now!

Tip 2: Achieve Permanent Weight Loss For You!

There is only one person that you can do this for and that is for you. Do it because you want to. Do it because you deserve it!

Tip 3: Set Goals

Do you feel like you have a “mountain” of weight to lose? Set yourself a goal and then break it down into smaller targets - maybe 7lbs at a time. Slow, steady weight loss is the healthiest and most effective way to achieve permanent weight loss.

Tip 4: Treat Yourself!

To help you to stay motivated, reward yourself as you reach your goals. Maybe treat yourself to your favorite perfume, a manicure or a trip to the movies - non food related treats please!

Tip 5: New Lifestyle - No Diets Allowed.

Permanent weight loss can most effectively be achieved with a permanent attitude. Diets encourage short term thinking. Decide to change your lifestyle to-day. You can make small changes as you go, but make sure each change will help you achieve your goals.

Tip 6: Exercise - Get Moving!

We all know that exercise is good for our health and for weight loss but sometimes it is hard to get up and move! You can dance like a lunatic in your living room, walk the dog regularly, jump about on a trampoline - have fun with it!

Tip 7: Never be Hungry!

Listen to your body and find out when you need to eat to make sure that you are never hungry. Stop grazing and listen to your body and find your rhythm. Hunger is our greatest temptation and keeping it at bay will help us continue to make healthy choices.

Tip 8: Think About Why You Eat

We need to eat to nourish and fuel our bodies. Ideally the foods we eat should taste, smell and look appetizing. If you are eating because you feel like you are a failure or you feel like life is too good and you don’t deserve, stop it now. Think about all the positives in your life and stop punishing yourself with food.

Tip 9: Drink Water

Our bodies often confuse the signals of dehydration in our body for hunger and eat when we actually our bodies need water. Drink water throughout the day. Carry a bottle in your bag, keep it on your desk at work, keep some in the car, jazz it up with a squeeze of lemon - do whatever you need to do, but drink it!

Tip 10: Measure your Achievements

Your weight fluctuates during the month, week and even over the course of the day. If you want to weigh yourself, make sure it is at the same time of the day and on the same day of the week. Don’t be tempted to jump on the scales every day as it will be demoralising.

Measuring inch loss can often be a more accurate way of measuring your progress especially if you are exercising. If you measure your body (arms, thighs, waist and hips for example), record your measurements and then measure again in a month’s time you will see your progress in inches!

I hope that the permanent weight loss tips above will help you reach and maintain your permanent weight loss goals.

Week 2 - Day 11 - October 2, 2008

Its been quite a backlog. Let me update you on my antics.

Thursday was a below average day – was out the entire day – on my wedding shopping. I am getting married in January and yes, that is one of the motivations to get fit as well.

Had a good breakfast. Lunch got delayed though and dinner was just a sandwich – a low cal day almost.

I was at Gloria Jeans Cafe for Lunch and had a Chicken Sandwich and a Cocoa Cold Coffee. Yup did give in the coffee stuff there - but come on folks - can’t be perfect all the time.

Managed to catch a movie at a local theatre in the evening. Stayed away from the popcorn and colas there. That was the only saving grace. Went back home and continued reading on Small is the new big. Its been an amazing journey. The sheer number of ideas and thoughts addressed in the book make it a total don’t put me down kind of book.

To come to think of it. I wasn’t looking for this book. I went looking for Seth Godin’s other book - The Dip. The Dip - is a book about when to quit and when not to. It is about that juncture in life, when there is a lull after initial sucess and you are unsure whether to invest more time and go the whole way or quit and do something better. I feel i am at similar crossroads in my career and i wanted to read about it. However sinceThe Dip wasn’t available in my local bookstore, had to settle for this one.

Life has its own amazing coincidences. This was one and it introduced me to this lovely book.My friends always ask me how i keep discovering new authors and new books. My answer to them is Keep Reading.

Robin Sharma led me to Squidoo.com

I’ve built a few lenses on squidoo and i am totally addiction. You can build your own lens on any topic your desire.

Squidoo was founded by Seth Godin. That’s how i came to know about him. Once i started reading on him - i learnt about The Dip.

One thing just leads to another. Just let your life flow, keep your eyes and ears open and just let go!

I only hope I don’t spend all my workout time on reading. Havent got a workout for a while now. Hope to get one soon.

I’m in for serious trouble, since i had to attend back to back dinner parties on Friday and Saturday. Look out for my next posts and how i navigated these days.

Cheers!

I am sure you have heard a lot about Fat Loss 4 Idiots, one of the latest weight loss systems. I am also sure you might be a bit fed up with the many opinions and reviews available on the Internet about the fat Loss 4 Idiots System. In the review of this weight loss system I am going to try to give you the latest information based mainly in objective and deeply researched reports.

My conclusions after long and deep research about this system to burn the fat are:

1. If you stick to the plan, if you follow carefully the detailed instructions the Fat Loss 4 Idiots provides you, it is a sure fact that you will lose weight. I am saying that you have to follow religiously the system, without cheating even a single day.

2. The first promise when you enter Fat Loss 4 idiots website states that you will likely lose around 9 pounds in a period of 11 days. These statistics are not the average, on the other side, most of the population will surely lose a bit less weight in the 11 days period, so please bear in mind that the main promise you find in this fat burning system website is based only in few individuals that really lost 9 pounds in a 11 days period, although the average Joe will lose a bit less weight in the same period.

3. Any one that is looking to lose a lot of weight in a short period of time should simply avoid this system. It is well known in research and medicine laboratories that losing a lot of weight in a short period of time is something very dangerous and risky for your health. Only when the weight is lost in a regular way, during a long period of time, the body tissues and the whole systems of the body have the proper amount of time to recover and return to a former good shape, after the weight loss.

4. There are thousands of happy users of Fat Loss 4 Idiots system, and all those individuals that used the program that I am reviewing successfully can not be wrong.

A brief summary of the diet would be:

The Fat Loss 4 Idiots diet plan consists of a list of preferred foods, such as:

- Lean proteins;
- Fruit and vegetables;
- Whole foods (such as cottage cheese or eggs);
- Some starchy carbohydrates (such as oats and pasta).

It is a reduced carbo hydrate diet with nutritional value.

There are 4 meals in a day, with a minimum of 2.5 hours between each meal. As you can no eating chicken or fish every day.

The diet offers a solid variety of meals, so you’re eating different foods every day, and with four meals daily, you won’t get hungry.

Unlike other diet programs, fat loss 4 idiots does not not worry about calorie or carb counting, and no limit on portion size. The aim is to just eat short of being full.

Again, if you stick to the plan and follow carefully the detailed instructions of this program to burn the excess body fat, there is no reason why you wont lose all the extra weight you are willing to get rid of, in a reasonable period of time with out any risk for your health.
