I would like to lose weight for many, but not all succeed. As a rule, a fortress called "weight loss" is taken hurriedly, that is, with extreme diets, which today there is great variety. And after the feat of a man with a clear conscience comes off and eats everything. The result of such diets are known to be sad.

Step One - the psychological preparation

First of all, you need to realize the seriousness of the problem: no one fell swoop fortress called "weight loss" is not taken. Therefore it is necessary to start with psychological training. You will need to carefully consider the situation, take a sheet of paper, divide it into two parts, one half to write all the advantages and benefits that will thrown weight (the opportunity to wear a short dress, a bikini, improving the appearance and health in great detail), and the other - from what would have to give (also write in great detail). This piece should be well studied and are not thrown away, as it will become your support in later life. Once the determination to lose weight will fall off, and you'll be ready to throw this occupation, it is necessary to get the paper and read it.

The task of psychological preparation for the weight loss comes even inventing some pleasant occupation, which could replace the satisfaction of receiving a nice tasty, but not wholesome food. This activity should be really enjoyable, otherwise our subconscious mind will not accept a replacement. For some it's sports (tennis, swimming, biking), dancing, and for someone - reading or sewing. All strictly individually.

So, you're mentally prepared to begin to lose weight. Go ahead.

Step Two - select power

If you decide to approach the matter with the utmost seriousness, the word "diet" should be avoided. Diet - is something temporary, but in order to really lose weight and keep this weight for a long time, we need a new diet. It is also first need to understand. The problem is that the mind does not have to persuade (it is so entirely for weight loss), and the subconscious mind, which does not understand the logic of arguments. The subconscious mind can be persuaded by auto-suggestion, repeating, for example, in the evening before going to sleep a certain set phrases harvested in advance: "I have such bad some products."

So, we exclude from the diet of fatty meat, fatty dairy products, animal fats, sweets, baking, alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, sweet, strong tea and coffee, roasted, smoked, salted, spicy dishes, strong meat, fish and mushroom broth.

There can lean meats and fish (once a week you can eat fatty fish, they contain essential fatty acids, which accelerate metabolism), seafood, low-fat milk and dairy products, vegetables (both heat-treated and raw) , fruits and berries (give preference to unsweetened varieties), cereals (all except the manna), wholemeal bread.

Diet: meal should be at least six times a day (the usual three meals and three snacks). If bedtime like something to eat, we can afford a cup of yogurt Kefir: a unique drink for health and harmony   or unsweetened yogurt, an apple or a fresh salad.

The main thing in the diet - not to starve your body, otherwise there will be excitement hunger center Psychology and physiology of hunger - the two sides of the same coin   in the brain. In this case, after a severe diet, you'll have everything, and not only to restore its former weight but also add extra weight to it.

Step Three - exercise

Physical activity need not have one diet to lose weight fail. The fact that our body has learned to save energy. And if it will come from food is less than normal, the body will simply pass on the regime of economical energy consumption. This will be expressed in lethargy, lack of interest in life, but not in the weight loss. This state indicates that it is necessary to increase physical activity.

What kind of exercise needed to lose weight? It was found that in order to start burning fat (ie gone to cover energy costs), need about forty - fifty minutes of active exercise. During this period of time run out of carbohydrates (carbohydrates - the main source of energy), and the body will be forced to turn to its fat stores (it's strategic reserves for a rainy day, its something we are going to destroy).

So, to reduce the fat reserves needed exercise lasting from one hour to one and a half hours. It is found that the best fat is burned in the case where the short intense exercise alternate longer and less intense. These classes are better holds two - three times a week. It is to burn fat, while maintaining the strength and for other activities. Over time, these stresses will be vital for the body, and you will learn how to receive pleasure from them.

Losing weight, if you take him seriously, not so unpleasant process. The challenge is to make it his life style.
