Is your New Year’s resolution to lose weight?

If so, you are one of millions of Americans who have set a weight loss resolution. Unfortunately, most give up their quest to lose weight in just a few months. If you are serious about losing weight, you do not want this to happen. So, how do you ensure your meet your New Year’s goal of losing weight?

Write down your New Year’s resolution.

For many, simply saying “I want to lose weight,” isn’t enough. Many Americans lead hectic lives, so it is easy to forget. Instead, write down your resolution. Not only that, write it down many times and place it in different locations. Consider your weaknesses. Do you head to the cookie jar in the middle of the night or do you head to the refrigerator when stressed out? Put small sticky notes reminding you of your New Year’s resolution. That second thought can prevent you from overeating or eating unhealthy foods.

Give it time. It is important to remember the phrase “New Year.” You are making the resolution to lose weight, but for the entire year. This is an important fact that many seem to forget. Losing weight takes time. The more you weigh, the more time you will spend shedding extra pounds. For that reason, give it time. Don’t expect to lose 50 pounds in one month. Unless you opt for gastric bypass surgery, it will not happen. Achieving your New Year’s resolution isn’t a race, so don’t make it one.

Don’t give up. As previously stated, weight loss is not something that can be achieved overnight or even in a month. Unfortunately, this is not what most want to hear. If you are obese, it can literally take you all year to slim down. During that time, you will experience many ups and downs. One week you may lose 5 pounds and the next you may gain 2. Despite the frustration, don’t give up. If you want to achieve your New Year’s resolution weight loss goal, you need to stay focused and on task, no matter how hard it is.

Have a friend help.

Many individuals make New Year’s resolutions. As previously stated, weight loss is a common one. If you know of someone, like a close friend or family member, who also has the same resolution, rely on them for help. Make that person your workout buddy. Start taking daily walks or jogs together. If you weakness is buying unhealthy foods at the grocery store, go shopping with your weight loss buddy. Those who have a strong support system are more likely to achieve their weight loss goal and turn their New Year’s resolution into a reality.

Create mini-goals.

New Years resolutions are all about taking one big thing in your life and changing it. Your goal is to lose weight, but it isn’t as simple as saying “I want to lose weight.” You need to create mini-goals for yourself. The best approach to take is to start with the month of January. For week one, start exercising. For week two, start buying healthy foods at the store. For week three, start eating healthy. When you tackle weight loss one step at a time, you are more likely to achieve your goal.

Try again.

Many people are unable to meet their New Years resolutions. In fact, some stop trying after only a month or two. If that happens, remember that it is possible to start from scratch again. A New Year’s resolution isn’t a race; you have all year to meet your weight loss goal. So, even if it involves starting again in July, you can still meet your New Year’s goal.

In short, weight loss is one of the most popular New Year’s resolutions, but it is also the one that most individuals give up on. By creating mini-goals, enlisting the help of a friend, giving it time, and not giving up, your New Years resolution will no longer be just a goal, but a reality.

It’s important that you are mentally ready to lose weight.

There are questions you need to honestly answer to see if you are ready to lose weight.

It is a proven fact that when you are ready to make permanent lifestyle changes, losing weight and keeping it off becomes possible.

10 Questions You Must Ask Yourself!

(Questions 1 – 5)

1. Do you know why you want to lose weight?

This may sound like a strange question at first. In order to succeed, it’s important that you have a deep rooted reason for wanting to reduce your weight. Just saying I need to diet, or I wish I was thinner does not give you the inner strength needed for weight loss.

You will need to look back on your reason(s) when the going gets tough. Get out a pen and paper and complete the following … (Dig deep into your heart and find the real reasons why you want to lose weight.) I know I will succeed because … Some common reasons for wanting to lose weight are:

• To look better
• To have more energy
• To set a good example for your children
• To be attractive to the opposite sex
• To be able to buy sexier clothes
• To be healthier

Are you currently experiencing health problems that would be improved by losing weight? Such as, high blood pressure, joint problems, high cholesterol etc.

2. Do you want to lose weight for yourself?

Your reasons for wanting to lose weight need to be personal reasons.

You can’t lose weight because your spouse, mom, kids or doctor wants you to.

If you can’t sincerely answer this question “yes” you are setting yourself up for failure.

Get some 3×5 cards and write down every personal reason you can think of to lose weight. Read these cards aloud to yourself, several times a day. This will help keep you motivated.

3. Are you being honest with yourself?

You need to review your previous failures and successes. You will need to identify obstacles that have hampered previous weight loss efforts. Forgive yourself for past failures. Learn from them. Repeat behaviors that have helped you before. View losing weight as a positive experience.

If you begin a weight loss program thinking …
“I can never have chocolate” or “I can never eat a fast food burger again.”

You’ll be obsessed with these foods. You’ll feel like you are depriving yourself and will eventually give in to your cravings – and probably wind up overeating.

Lose weight by eating all foods in moderation.

4. Do you have major distractions or stress in your life right now?

• What’s happening in your life right now?
• Are you recovering from surgery?
• Are you grieving over a loved one?
• Having severe marital problems or financial problems?
• A teen-ager that’s testing you to your very core?
• A job that is demanding all of your time and energy?

If you answered yes to any of the questions above – now might night be the time for you to lose weight. You just have too much other stuff on your plate.

If you are focused on demanding issues in your life, you’re less likely to give your diet the attention it needs. To effectively lose weight you need to focus on you. Be attentive to what and when you are eating. Make time for daily exercise. LOVE yourself.

5. Do you have clear goals regarding weight loss?

Before you begin to lose weight, it’s important to set SMART Goals. Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Trackable. Set small goals at first. Make them personable.

For an example a person who weights 160 pounds on October 1, 2006, might set a goal such as “I weigh 155 pounds on October 31, 2006.”

Each time you set one of these small goals and attain it .. Your motivation increases and you’ll continue to lose weight.

Reward yourself with non-food each time you achieve your goal. You will conquer your final goal only after achieving several small goals

The 5 Factor Diet was first developed as a celebrity diet. They needed a diet plan that was easy to follow with exercise guidelines that could work in a busy schedule. The 5 Factor diet became popular as even regular people could lose weight and stick to the plan no matter how busy they were.

As you have probably guessed, everything revolves around the number five. The 5 Factor Diet is meant to be followed for five weeks at a time. There are five meals each day; five work-out days each week and five essential criteria for each meal that you eat.

What can I eat?

The five criteria for each meal on the 5 Factor Diet is to include:

1. Low glycemic index carbohydrates
2. Low fat protein
3. Healthy fat
4. Fiber
5. No sugar beverage

There are three meals and two snacks per day. For the busy person there are several five ingredient recipes that can be prepared in no time. Overall, this seems like quite a healthy diet and more of a way of life.

How much weight can I lose?
There are no weight loss guidelines. It all depends on how well you follow the plan. But, the assumption is that you lose weight as long as you are satisfied, given a cheat day and you add physical activity.

Does the plan stress exercise of any kind?
The diet plan does stress exercise so it is a pro for this diet. Along the factor of five lines, you are asked to complete 25 minutes of exercise five days a week. The time can be done all at once if you have the time or broken up into smaller increments. There are fitness recommendations for five minute bursts of activity in the book.

The Good

Fits in a busy lifestyle

• Food can be prepared in blenders, toaster ovens an microwaves
• Each meal includes food from each food group
• Stresses easting carbohydrates that promote steady blood sugar
• There’s a cheat day built into the program
• Hundreds of sample meal plans

The Bad

• It can be difficult to exercise five days a week

There are many diets – both past and present that make the claim “Eat More and Lose Weight!”. this is a very attractive sales pitch. After all don’t we all want to eat everything we want and not have to worry about our weight?

A lot of these diets are combination diets which require you to eat certain combination of foods at various times. There is no scientfic proof behind this theory. Popular combination diets are the Six Week Body Makeover, The Skinny Switch and Fat Loss 4 Idiots.

Other diets that make the claim of eating more are vegetarian diets – such as Dean Ornish’s Eat More, Weigh Less and The Raw Food Diet.

Good News! You don’t have to completely change what you eat to reap the benefits of losing weight by eating more.

The truth is most people actually do eat more while following a healthy balanced diet than they would normally. Think about it, a candy bar has an average of around 240 calories – an apple has about 70 calories. This means you could eat 3 apples to one candy bar and be consuming fewer calories. What would fill you up and satisfy you more?

The fact is the only way to burn body fat is to EAT. Food gives our bodies the energy it needs to function. Eating revs up your metabolism! This is why eating frequent small meals increases your bodies ability to burn fat.

This isn’t to say to eat 5 meals of “junk food” every day. The processing, high fat content and high sugar does not give your body the proper nutrition it needs. This is like adding water to your gas tank – it might work for awhile, but it’s not going to last.

Below are some healthy diets that teach you how to eat and lose weight. Healthy diets include ALL of the food -groups including fat. They also allow treats -Special meals or days for you to have your favorite foods!
