Ever Feel Like You Can't Lose Weight?

Do you feel like you can't lose weight? The problem may be in your subconscious mind.If that is so how can you fix this problem? In order to lose weight you must fix what is in your subconscious mind. If you continue to think you can't lose weight, you will continue to prove yourself right.

The mind is a powerful tool. Most of us go through life never learning how to use this tool to our advantage and get anything we desire. Up until recently I was in that most of us group. Then I began to learn how the mind works and how to use that to my advantage. You see your mind is divided into two sections. The one you are aware of is the conscious mind, the one you are not aware of, but is always working, is the subconscious mind. The subconscious mind is telling your lungs to breath, and your heart to pump etc. That is not all it does. It contains a lot more programming. That programming has a huge affect on what you think of yourselves and your automatic responses.

Let's take a deeper look into the difference between your conscious and your subconscious mind. Your conscious mind is what you use to reason. If someone tells you something like the world is flat, you would most likely say they were wrong. That is because you have the ability to think and reason. You can accept or reject what you are told because of your conscious mind. If someone tells you something about yourself that is not true, you can ignore it and go on. Your subconscious mind contains ideas, and beliefs that you don't question. Why does this happen?

Let's go back to the beginning. When you were born you only had a subconscious mind. You were on auto pilot. As you begin to grow you learned to understand language. Everything you were told you believed. Slowly your conscious mind began to form and you began to reason. After you learned your colors maybe someone told you the sky was green, and you said that they were wrong, the sky was blue. You were learning to reason. Somewhere around the age of 8 your conscious brain was completely formed. Until that happened, everything you were told about yourself and the world around you went into your subconscious mind, wrong or right. It will stay there until you choose to replace it with different information.

Wrong information in your subconscious mind may be the reason why you feel like you can't lose weight. That means it is time to reprogram. The first step is to be willing to reprogram your subconscious. The second is to believe you can. The third step is to take action. Begin your reprogramming by paying attention to your thoughts about weight loss. Then write down the thoughts you would like to have. For example, losing weight is easy. Or, I enjoy eating foods that are healthy for my body and they help me weigh ________. Fill in the blank with your desired weight. Make sure what you write down has only words reflecting what you want. Avoid writing anything that you don't want. Writing your affirmations is your first step to losing weight and replacing that feel like you can't lose weight mind set.

Are you tired of feeling like you can't lose weight? Remember the three steps. 1. Reprogram your mind. 2. Believe in yourself. 3. Take action!

To your success and happiness.

Losing Weight and Math

What does math have to do with losing weight? To lose weight your body must burn more calories than you consume. The average person needs to consume 2000 calories a day to maintain their current weight. In order to lose weight that number needs to be around 1500 calories. Anything less than that your body will think it is starving and will work against you. Your body will do everything possible to store fat.

So what does all this mean? If you want to lose weight you can either eat about 500 calories less a day, exercise more to burn more calories, or a combination of both.
To find out how many calories you are eating? You can use the nutrition labels on foods to help figure that out-make sure to pay attention to serving sizes and how many servings per container. If you drink a 14 ounce bottle of orange juice you are actually drinking 2 servings which equals around 220 calories. For help with foods that are not prepackaged, and hopefully you are consuming plenty of these if you want to lose weight, here is an online calorie counter website: www.calorie-count.com

Wouldn't it be nice to know which foods are more filling with less calories? Strip That Fat does just that. It educates you on what foods are more filling. It also goes into a lot more detail on how to use the math behind losing weight to your advantage.

Math is based on truths, absolutes, principles. You never have to worry that 2+3=5 today, but tomorrow the answer may be different. There are also similar principles that apply to losing weight. Strip That Fat does just that. It teaches you principles of weight loss that have always worked and will always work. So visit us and learn how math helps you lose weight.

Make Lasting Changes For Long Term Weight Loss

Let's take a look at what I like to call the dieting cycle. You go on a diet, lose a few pounds, celebrate, go back to your old eating habits, gain weight, mourn, go on a diet, lose a few pounds, you know the rest. Most would agree this cycle is no fun. Each time it may be even harder to lose weight. Why doesn't it work? Most diets are designed to give you fast results. They are not based on health principles therefore are not healthy in the long run. They are also not designed to be permanent changes. In order for weight loss to be permanent you need to make permanent changes in the way you are eating or exercising, or both. Strip That Fat teaches what changes you need to make in order to make that weight loss permanent.

Some of these changes include what snacks you are consuming. Are you reaching for that potato chip bag when you are hungry? Did you know that many times people mistake thirst for hunger. Before reaching for an unhealthy snack try a cold drink of water. Your body will also burn extra calories as it works to heat the cold water up. Other changes include replacing foods made with white flour for whole grain foods, snack on carrot sticks, or fruit instead of chips, and pretzels.

If you want to enjoy long term weight loss you can. You are not a victim of your past, or genes. You can enjoy the happiness and freedom that comes with weighing your ideal weight. You deserve it.

To your success and happiness.

How to Lose Weight after Pregnancy

The average weight gain during pregnancy is 25-35 pounds. Some of it is baby. Some is fluid and placenta. All of this is lost when you give birth, but most of the weight you gained will come off in the following months. Don't be discouraged when you get on the scale at home after delivery and you haven't lost as much as you expected to with the arrival of your baby. Normally much of the weight will come off in the weeks to come, but those last pounds can take 6 months to a year to lose.

Don't compare yourself to others. My best friend was back into her prepregnancy clothes in less than a month. I was not that fortunate. It took me closer to 6 months. Hollywood gives us a false reality. Don't expect to look like the stars that have a baby today and in a month look like they were never pregnant. They have dieticians, cooks, and personal trainers. Many of them make unhealthy choices in order to lose weight quickly. I don't encourage you following their examples. The best thing that you can do for yourself and your baby is to make healthy food choices, and lose weight the way you gained it, about a pound a week. It will pay off in the end.

If you are like many new mothers you may feel like a walking zombie. This is normal, and it will pass. In the meantime rest when your baby rests and eat foods that will give you more energy and less calories. These foods include fish, lean meat, chicken, milk, yogurt, and beans. Also try to avoid foods with saturated fat, prepackaged foods, and foods made with white flour. Whole grain foods are the better choice for breads and cereals.

Don't forget the water. Drinking water instead of soda, or other sugary drinks will reduce your caloric intake. Water also has other cleansing benefits.

What about exercise. There are a few exercises you can begin when you come home from the hospital. Consult your doctor for more information on what is safe before your postpartum visit. After you have given your body time to recover and have been to your postpartum checkup you may begin an exercise routine. Take it slow. You may be anxious to get back into your prepregnancy clothes, but too much too soon can do more damage than good. Let your body be your guide. Don't exercise to the point of fatigue, you need your energy for your baby. Start out with walking. Even a daily 10 minute walk with your baby can burn calories and help you feel better.

If you are patient, and persistant the weight will come off. If you find yourself needing some extra help check out Strip That Fat. It will help you choose the best foods and dietary plan to help you lose weight after pregnancy. There is nothing like it on the market.

To your success and happiness.
