Dieting is not easy. If it were, we would probably all be thin. Since we are not, here are some tips that successful people use to lose weight so that others can benefit, too. TIP NO. 1: DRINK 8-10 GLASSES OF WATER EACH DAY Okay, for many people this is a big problem. Water doesn't taste all that great generally because water doesn't really "taste" like anything. Drinking water 8 to 10 times each day gets easier the more you actually do it. It is simply a matter of conditioning your taste buds, and yourself, so that it becomes easier to do. Once you get started, you will begin to crave water. To begin with, you should drink a glass of water in the morning first thing, before you eat. This is probably the easiest glass you will drink all day and it will help you remember to drink water all day long. Better yet, why not drink two glasses? If you really cannot bear the taste of water, try using a water purifying pitcher or filter. You can also add a few drops ...

Why is it so hard to lose weight and keep it off? We have all heard that weight loss is just a matter of taking in less calories than we expend. That certainly sounds very logical, but is it really that simple? For example, I had an intention of only eating fruits and vegetables for a day or two, to counteract the recent ‘junk’ food I had been enjoying. This was a solid plan that practically guaranteed a decrease in caloric intake. However, a solid plan doesn’t always mean an easy execution. I figured I would be relatively safe making a trip to the health food store. So my guard against high fat foods was down. When I got to the store, my sensibilities were assailed by a well meaning clerk hawking some freshly made corned beef and cabbage. I could hardly resist the temptation. And that wasn’t the end of it. Once my armour was breached, the temptation of tasty, ‘health oriented’ cookie samples fought for my attention. Once again, I capitulated. My normally strong will power se...

When you consider the weight loss process, the battle waged is mostly in your head .  Should I eat the crumpet  with butter or would it be better for me to have margarine or better yet  have jam . What am I doing eating this crumpet anyway? It's so caloric and filled with saturated fat. I have absolutely zero willpower. I'm such a pig. It's no wonder you will eat that crumpet with the butter and jam on top to quiet that negative self talk in your head. What you need more than a diet is a way to shift all those negative self defeating thoughts to more adaptive, positive self statements. As with most things worth doing, this requires a bit of practice. First, become aware when you're using a negative statement, then determine what about that thought is faulty and finally, replace it with a self defence response or positive. Many people find it hard to change their eating habits until they change their thoughts about food, eating and drinking. By shedding all t...
