The Laws to Lasting Weight Loss

Not too long ago it appeared that for lasting weight loss all one had to do was cut out bread, pasta, rice and all the rest of those delicious carbs.  After that came the low fat phase and before that the high protein diet was the one to follow.  So how are we supposed to sort the good from the bad, what is real and what is not, or basically what works and what doesn't?

It actually is not all that difficult but as with everything in life there are a few simple rules.

• Don't crash diet; slows your metabolism.
• Be aware of how hungry you really are; not just cravings.
• Focus on food rather than exercise.
• Pump up the fibre.
• Be consistent; six small meals per day.
• A serving is frequently smaller than you think.
• Don't use the word diet; it can become toxic to your thinking.
• Beware of meal replacements products.
• Personalise your eating plan; this is your body, your life.

I shall be enlarging on each one of these points in further posts so if you're serious about becoming fit and healthy stay tuned.
