8 Steps to Guaranteed Weight Loss

A Simple Weight Loss Program that really works!

Having a lot of body weight or fat can really be a source of worry and pain to a lot of people and apart from that, medical research has shown that people who are overweight are at a higher risk of heart disease. You may want to loose weight for various reasons, keeping fit, having that Runway-Model Look etc. I have prepared some very simple proven steps to take. All you have to do is to take your time and follow the steps even if you’ve tried a dozen other steps. I bet there is always something new you’ll find here.

Why do you want to loose weight? This is the first step. You have to determine why you want t loose weight because your answer to that will determine how badly you want it and how far into these steps you’re going to take. Is your reason strong enough to carry you through all the disappointments and discipline necessary to achieve the weight you desire? Stop for a while and think…take your time. When you’re done, get a sheet of paper and write it down…yes write it down, it would make sense later.

This is one of the most important steps. We know that our ideas make up our thoughts; our thoughts make up our speech; what we say make up our reality and hence who we are. This step is to tune your mind to possibilities. Even the Bible will tell you that as a man thinks in his heart, so he is (even woman!). You’ve got to believe you can achieve any weight or shape you want. To do this effectively, first you have to build a mind hedge-its just a mind structure to protect you first from your own doubts, then from that of other people and disappointments.

To build this hedge, you have to create a belief statement which you have to repeat to yourself regularly especially when you feel anything like threatening your hedge like statements from colleagues and friend like “You can’t be a model!”-it has to be short and easy to remember. For instance, I could write: “No matter how things turn out, I believe I will loose all my excess weight! There! If you need more help on this check out motivational books.

I don’t mean go to college or something like that. I just mean you should read materials that are helpful on this subject like the article you’re reading now.

Now that you have found your motivation, believed you can, this is the action part of these steps. Like I mentioned before you have to learn as much as possible about different foods you eat regularly. You have to know which ones have fat and oil content and in what proportions. Hey just concentrate on foods you eat regularly or are convenient to you. Some health text books or a local health worker at your local health center can help you. You could also use the internet. Don’t forget to learn about food supplements and nutritional products. One thing about these nutritional supplements is that they are usually concentrated only in one or few nutrients that way, they can actually give you the food nutrients you need without the ones you don’t need.

For instance, Groundnut (Peanut) has good protein content and at the same time, it also has considerable oil content. The importance of this step is to help you check what goes into you.

A plan is not really a big deal. It’s just a list of activities you want to do in the order you want to do them. There are two plans you must create, Your Weight Loss Eating Plan and Your Weight Loss Workout plan.

Your Weight Loss Eating Plan

In your plan, you don’t have to change your diet unless you don’t eat a Balanced Diet or the only things in your diet are junk food. This is why you have to take Step 3 seriously. Your plan is not about starving yourself, it’s about eating correctly first, then reducing some nutrients which you already have in excess.

After you now eat correctly (Balanced Diet for say 2-3wks), you can start reducing the excess fat. Start with something small. For Instance, if you usually take junk food at lunch time, why don’t you start taking fruits instead for maybe 2 days in a week? Now you continue doing that until you get used to it (that is when you stop missing the former junk food lunch!) then you make it 4 days in the week and so on.

Your Weight Loss Workout Plan:

The same technique we applied in the Eating Plan can also be used in your Workout plan. You can start with maybe 2 push-ups a day, you get used to it, and then you gradually increase it.

What makes this technique so effective is that what you are doing is so easy to do, so it doesn’t waste your time or cause you much stress in Loosing that Weight until your body adjusts to it- you just don’t feel it!

HAVE YOU WORKED OUT TODAY? LOOSE THAT WEIGTH NOW! And pasting them in popular places in your home like on the Refrigerator Door, You dressing Mirror, the ceiling above your bed (where you can see it if you are lying on your bed facing up. With a little creativity, you can also come up with more captions. I recommend you do all these for best results. Anyway, you can always quit later, why quit now?

A target is just a ‘target’, you can miss, hit the Bull’s eye or hit close to it but you can’t hit at anything if you’re not shooting at all. Set a very realistic and small Weight Loss target. First, you aim to under achieve you capabilities, aim to get to your Peak and then you aim to Surprise yourself.

For it to be a good Weight loss target you have to aim in concrete terms for instance; I plan to do 21 push-ups a week rather than saying; I plan to do more push-ups this week. Now if you use the correct weight loss target, it becomes easy for you to measure your performance.

For instance, if my Weight Loss target was like the one above, I’d check my weight before I started, then again after the 1^st month. The difference in weight should tell me how much weight I lost (or added!). Then I could say if increase to 40 push-ups, my weight should be so, so and so.

Anyway you won’t see much different in weight in the beginning but as you continue (Maybe in the Second Month) the difference in weight will start being significant.

It really feels very good when you notice that you have achieved some success. Like a Dog Trainer, if a dog shows the tiniest inkling at learning to follow a certain command, He would shower the dog with lots of treats and praise.

Give yourself a treat anytime you notice the smallest success in weight reduction.

I’m not saying you should dash for a candy bar, a box of Chocolate or a big bowl of Ice-cream (these things could spoil you efforts so far!). I’m saying you should reward yourself-you deserve it! Now to go a step further, you could Identify people in your area who you share a similar problem with. You could form a club and give gifts to your members who are doing well on the program.

You could pay yourself some money (into a special bank account of course), you could go watch a movie or buy yourself something New etc.

Now the reason for this is that we all need encouragement in everything we do and especially in something like this. Now to make it work well, you have to keep the treat to something small enough so that you can keep doing it as long as necessary, and memorable enough so you can keep looking forward to it. The bottom line is, just make yourself feel good about loosing that excess weight!

It’s not World War III ok…so just take it easy. There is something about nature, there has to be equilibrium, a balance in every thing.

What ever goes in = what ever goes out +what stays in

For instance

Ice-Cream (in) = nothing (out) + the fat from the ice-cream (stays in)

You now start getting overweight when the fat from the ice-cream becomes more that the body requirement.

Now the technique used in this 8 Steps to Guaranteed Weight Loss Program is to burn (by exercise) all the fat we take in that is not coming out and reduce intake of more fat.

This process is a life changing one (you eventually look different!). You may need to change your friends (some friends are so negative!), change your schedule etc.

In conclusion

It all depends on how badly you want it. I will advise that you should not be in a hurry to at least allow your body get used to the new setup and help achieve it more easily with minimum stress. A minimum of 4 months is recommended although it can take up to 1 year for some people to loose all the weight they want to loose because of individual differences.
