Get The 5 Top Fat Loss Rules For The Resistant Dieter

It is a myth that “all diets work” and that the only difficulty is that people just can’t keep the weight off after they lose it. Some people, women especially have bodies that are very resistant to weight loss and they never seem to be able to lose a pound in the first place.

I have often tried various diets and many different methods to lose weight. I would rigorously follow the diet program and the scale would not move. Not a pound dropped off. Some women’s bodies are completely resistant to weight loss.

Biology has made it more challenging for women to lose weight. It is always easier for a man to lose weight because nature has programmed women to hold on to fat. That is because in the case of a famine, a woman not only has to be able to keep herself alive but she must also be able to keep any offspring alive. Biology has just made it more difficult for women. It’s a fact of life.

But in the past few years and throughout this struggle, I have learned quite a few things that can help women to lose weight. I will share my top five rules for weight loss here.

First rule is to Eat. That’s right; never starve yourself if you want to achieve lasting weight loss. Eating regularly will keep you from getting over hungry which in turn will keep you from eating everything you see later on. It also keeps your metabolism going and your body keeps on burning calories. If your body believes it is starving it will shut down your metabolism and save the fat so eat, at least 3 meals and as many as 6 small meals a day.

Second is to substitute quality for quantity. Empty calories that provide no decent nutritional value do nothing to fill you up and eating nutritionally empty food is a sure way to pack on the pounds. Cravings are often caused by a lack of vital nutrients so it is important to choose high quality, nutritionally dense foods. Steer clear of the “white stuff’, meaning white flour and white sugar.

Third, make sure that you add some protein with every meal. High protein diets work because protein digests more slowly than carbohydrates; especially simple carbohydrates and proteins will not cause a sugar spike in your bloodstream. When you add protein you are less hungry later on and you wind up consuming fewer calories.

The fourth rule is to pick your carbohydrates wisely. Simple carbohydrates like sweets, candy and really anything made out of white flour will just spike your blood sugar, make you hungry and add to your fat deposits. Choose complex carbohydrates like whole grains and vegetables. These will add fiber, which will also keep you fuller and will keep your digestive system functioning at its highest levels.

Fifth is to start an exercise program. Start moving. Take the stairs. Take a walk. Move more. You can begin slow and work your way up but exercise is crucial for long-term weight loss success.

This is a lifetime commitment. Few people with weight problems master it once and never have to think of it again. It is a commitment you make everyday. But if you adhere to these rules for most of the time you will be on your way to a lean body.
