Weight loss using the MIND

Many individuals embarking on a diet do so with the short-term goal of losing weight. This is not a bad goal per-se, as being overweight in one of the major causes of hypertension, high blood pressure, certain types of cancer and an overall lackluster feeling. However, fad diets are not sustainable, and most individuals put the weight back on, The holy grail of weight loss for the conscientious individual is to lose those few extra pounds permanently without compromising your health. Forget the fad diet that only equates to short-term weight loss, long-term waist gain. The key to sustainable weight loss coupled with a healthy lifestyle is to clarify your long-term goals and build a sustainable exercise and eating program. Caught up in the hectic daily activities of work and home life, one can easily lose sight of long-term goals. Thankfully proven strategies exist to help busy individuals achieve well-balanced lives.

Setting long-term exercise and diet goals helps achieve permanent weight loss and a sustainable healthy lifestyle. I'm convinced that there is no "correct" way to diet or achieve long term weight loss. It's a case of "different strokes for different folks". So if you are comfortable with a low carb plan, that's fine. Or if you prefer a more balanced eating plan, that's fine too. As long as you eat healthy foods and get physically active, the extra weight is gonna disappear!

The benefits of practising mindful awareness

The benefits of practising M.A. exercises include reduced stress levels, increased self-awareness in regards to physical feelings, emotions and thoughts and increased emotional intelligence. Since experiences like stress have both a psychological and physiological component doing M.A. exercises also has the potential to improve the physical health of the practitioner by contributing to a lower blood pressure, healthier heart rate, improving breathing as well as reducing the amount of stress hormones released in brain.

Basics of Weight Loss

     Despite the way it feels, losing weight isn't a mysterious process. It's a simple matter of burning more calories than you eat. But, if it were really that simple, none of us would have a weight problem, would we? Weight loss can be such a struggle that we start thinking we have to do something drastic to see results -- diets, pills or those weird fitness gadgets on infomercials that promise instant success. The true secret to weight loss is this: Make small changes each and every day and you'll slowly (but surely) lose those extra pounds. The key is to forget about instant results and settle in for the long run.

How Much Exercise Do I Need  ?

     Exercise is an important weight loss tool, but how much you need varies from person to person. The ACSM's weight loss guidelines suggest at least 250 minutes per week, which comes out to about 50 minutes, 5 days a week. If you're a beginner, start small (3 days a week for 20 to 30 minutes) to give your body time to adapt. Don't forget, things like walking, taking the stairs and household chores can burn more calories as well.

You are overweight for the most simple of reasons -- because you're eating the wrong foods, the wrong types of calories per meal, and you're also eating meals in the wrong patterns each day. Think closely about what we're about to tell you, since it's going to change the way you think about dieting.  

FOOD is more powerful than any prescription weight loss pills, because the FOOD that you eat can either make you THIN or FAT.   You don't get fat because of a lack of exercising, that's a myth.  You get fat because you don't eat the right foods at the right intervals each day.  

Also, the pattern that you choose to eat your meals each day is more powerful than any prescription weight loss pills.   This is true because your body is like an "engine" and it only needs certain foods at certain intervals each day, and if you don't eat the right foods at the right times then it won't burn those calories -- and you'll wind up storing those calories as fat tissue.
