Unearth The Five Best Fat Loss Rules

I read once that "all diets work" and all diets will help you to "lose" weight. The difficulty is that instead of maintaining the weight loss we often go back to our poor eating habits and gain all of the weight that we lost back again. I I didn't agree.

As a experienced dieter who had long been trying various avenues to lose weight I knew that this was not a fact. The issue was that there had been many diet programs that I implemented and followed the advice exactly only to see the scale not budge. True story, the scale did not record the drop of even one pound. My body was completely resistant to losing weight.

As a woman I am sure that I am not the only one with this difficulty. It's biological. A man will always be able to drop pounds and gain muscle more effortlessly than a woman. It is just a fact of life. Women are biologically designed to hold onto fat because in the case of a famine, we need to not only be able to keep ourselves alive but we also need to be able to keep a baby alive until it is born and throughout babyhood as we breastfeed. That is why it is more difficult for a woman to lose weight.

But as you go you learn what works for weight loss and what doesn't. Here are the top five weight loss rules for bodies that are resistant to losing.

The first rule is fairly simple, "Eat". Yes, eat at least three and even as many as 6 small meals per day. One reason is that it keeps you from getting over hungry, which stops you from bingeing and another reason is that it keeps your metabolism pumping along. Your body will begin to save fat if it thinks it's starving so the first rule has to be to Eat.

The second is to only eat quality food. That means nutritionally dense food that will be an advantage to your body. Eating food that is deficient in nutritional value is a sure way to pile on the pounds. Also many cravings are actually caused by a nutritional deficit so steer clear of any food that does not provide adequate nutrition.

The third rule is to add protein with every meal. Protein is digested more slowly than carbohydrates and it will not cause a sugar spike in your bloodstream. Eating protein will keep you fuller longer and you will end up eating less later on.

The fourth rule is to be picky about the carbohydrates that you eat. Simple carbs, such as baked goods made with white flour and anything that is pure sugar will just send your blood sugar soaring and that will make you hungry again in a very short time. It will also go straight to your fat deposits, as it adds no nutritional advantage. Complex carbs, such as whole grains and vegetables have fiber, which keeps your digestive system running smoothly and they also provide excellent nutrition.

And the fifth rule is to start moving. Start an exercise program. You can begin small by taking short walks and ease up to more challenging workouts. But exercise is crucial for successful and healthy weight loss. Exercise is beneficial for your heart and your soul. So begin an exercise program.

It may be that you'll have to work at it. Few people with weight problems solve them once and for all for and never have to deal with it again, but if you adhere to these rules most of the time, you will lose weight and you will be able to keep it off.
