3 Simple Weight Loss Secrets to Help You Lose Weight Permanently

Question: I've been overweight for a long time.  Not obese, but a good 20 pounds more than I'd like to be.  I've been on several diets in the past and although I always lose weight initially...the weight comes back when I go off the diet.  Are there any weight loss secrets you can tell me that will help solve this problem for good?

Answer:  I can help you. What you've been experiencing is what's called "yo-yo" dieting.  This is most likely happening because the diets you've been following are depriving you of something you like or need to have.  That's why you say that the "weight comes back when you go off the diet".

The way I hear that is that you needed to go off the diet. When I hear something like that I say to myself, "why did you need to go off the diet?"

Diet Secrets

Since you're looking for weight loss secrets I'll give you the biggest and most important one of all right from the start.  Here it is...

Weight Loss Secret # 1:  In order to lose weight and keep it off forever you must be on a diet that you can start now and follow for the rest of your life.

The problem for many people is that they go on crash diets because they want to lose weight quickly.  The problem is that this kind of mindset will have you losing weight and then gaining it back...just like what's been happeneing to you.

Depriving yourself by cutting your calories back too far will help you lose pounds but it will also put you in starvation mode where you'll eventually stop and go back to your old, bad eating habits which got you overweight to begin with.

The dietary part of the solution to your problem is to eat good wholesome foods while slightly reducing the amount of calories your body requires by about 300 calories a day.  As long as you're eating nutritious food you will not feel deprived by such a small reduction in your daily caloric intake.

Once you've dropped the pounds you'll be able to eat more food as long as you're following the otherweight loss secrets listed below.

Exercise

Weight Loss Secret # 2: In order to lose weight (fat) and keep it off forever you must focus on building muscle through exercise.

Many overweight people negelct the importance of regular exercise...specifically - weight lifting.  Weight lifting builds muscle.  Muscle is metabolically active tissue.  What does that mean?  It means that muscle burns calories.

When your body becomes more muscular it will become a calorie burning / fat burning machine.  As this occurs the fat that you're carrying will seem to vanish from your body.

Conversely, if you fail to build muscle through inactivity, your body will become less muscular overtime and will become a calorie storing / fat accumulating machine.  As this occurs you will continue to gat fatter and fatter over time.

Are you understanding these weight loss secrets so far?  The next secret is your "secret weapon" to life long success.

I have no doubt that you Consiously want to lose weight.  You've taken the time to write me and ask me your question.  People who don't care don't go to the trouble of doing that.  However you've had trouble staying on any of the programs you've started.

Many people fail to accomplish goals they set out to acheive becuase they neglect to condition their mind for success.  When the going gets tough...and it will, there's a little voice in you head that will say something like,
