What is the best dieting advice/tip you can offer?

I have about 50 pounds to lose and I start my diet in the morning. But I've never been that good at sticking with a diet (obviously)...never sure what's is a good choice and what's not and never stay motivated with the scales don't move ';fast enough';. But anyway, just looking for the best tip or advice you've been told.What is the best dieting advice/tip you can offer?
Here's a serious answer. I hope it helps.


I think it would help if you could have a change in your way of thinking. A more positive attitude will help you feel better and get healthy faster. Using affirmations is one way to change your mind. I have used the following affirmation with some of my clients and they did very well. ''I, (say your name), am at my perfect weight. I look and feel fantastic.'' Write that down 21 times a day for 21 days. Start telling yourself positive things about yourself like, ''I am getting better and better every day!'' or ''Everything I eat makes me thin and healthy.''


This will help. If you have negative thoughts when you write down the affirmation, write down everything that comes into your mind. Then write down the affirmation again. After a while your mind will start to agree with you.


Also, you need to eat healthy and exercise. Following is my standard answer to everyone who wants to lose weight. It's a lot of information but I'm sure it will help you. Good luck with your goal! You can do it.





*If want to get fit and/or lose weight, here's my Weight Loss Program through Body Building and Nutrition. It works! First, don't Use Diet Pills. They are bad for you. Most of them are just a scam or they are addictive. Counting calories is a pain in the neck. It will drive you nuts. But, losing weight is simple. You just have to do the right things.


*(If you are older and have not exercised in many years you should see your doctor and have a stress test done to be sure your heart is ok before starting this program. Also, walking eveyday is a good lifelong practice.)


*Fad diets sometimes work but, you can be sure that at least 25% of the weight you lose will be muscle. Then when you stop the diet you will gain back all of the weight you lost but no muscle. So, you will have 25% more fat than you did before! Fad diets just aren't worth the bother.


*Fasting or skipping meals will teach your body that famine is common in your world and your body will begin to store more fat to get you through the next period when food is not available. It's better to eat healthy foods often to teach your body that food is plentiful and that there is no need to store calories as fat. Eat a vegetablw or frui every two hours.


*Here's a simple trick that can help you lose weight without doing anything else. Drink a litre of water as soon as you wake up in the morning and then drink two more throughout the day. You'll notice a difference the first month.


*Here's another trick that works. For every pound of muscle that you add, your body will burn 3000 calories (1lb) of fat every day. That means that just by having an extra pound of muscle on your body you will burn a pound of fat every day! So, add muscle!


*This is the fastest way to add a pound of muscle. Squats and Pushups! You do them on alternate days; squats one day, pushups the next. And you do them SuperSlow style. That is, you do the easy part twice as slow as the hard part. That way you fatigue the muscles quickly. Then you rest the muscles for 48 hours which gives the body a chance to make new muscles.


*Squats should be done with a wide stance and all the way to the floor. Pushups the with palms shoulder width apart and all the way to the floor, then all the way up. Use the full range of motion of the muscle group you are trying to develop. If you are too weak to do pushups, try them with your knees on the floor or do them with your feet on the floor and your hands an the bed.


*The idea is to tire the muscles out completely so do a set of squats until you can't do another, then rest for a couple of minutes and do it again. Do that 3 times and you're done for the day. The following day, don't do squats but do pushups. Do them the same way, going down twice as slow as you come up.


*You will lose weight fast, unless you add more junk food and fat to your diet. Instead, eat at least 5 to 7 different raw vegetables and fruits every day. Cut out anything that comes in a bag, box, can, bottle or any kind of package. In other words, cut out all processed foods, soft drinks and sweets. Eat more grains and less red meat. Check out the Food Pyramid.


*If you really want to give your body the best possible chance to be healthy and fat free, go to infinity2.com (Link at bottom of page) and order their weight loss formula and Essentials for Life. That will give you all the vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and probiotics that your body needs and will keep you feeling better and healthier. They also have a Proteabolic Mass Formula for serious athletes who want to build muscle mass quickly and safely.


*Weight loss without exercise is not good. You need to eat healthy, exercise and get your rest. You will feel better, look better and be healthier. Try it for a week. You will notice a difference. You will feel better and that will motivate you to continue.


*Losing weight only in specific areas of the body is impossible. You can't just lose weight around the belly, for instance. So, if you want tight, rippled abs, do crunches and leg raises every other day the way I described above.


*One last point, stretching is essential for a number of reasons. Pick up a copy of ''Stretching'' by Bob Anderson. Read the intro and understand his reasoning before you do the exercisis. Good luck!

Here is a list of common mistakes people make when attempting to lose weight. Remember that this list contains general guidelines and that your best bet is to consult with a Registered Dietician to be sure that you are meeting all of your bodies nutritional needs.





1) Not eating breakfast





2) Going too long between meals





3) Not eating immediately after a workout





4) Relying on energy bars or meal replacements instead of quality food choices





5) Limiting carbohydrate intake





6) Eating too much fast food or processed foods





7) Following a low-calorie diet





8) Thinking that because you exercise you can eat whatever you want





9) Not drinking enough water





10) Following fad diets











If any of the above list sounds familiar then make a change. Only you are responsible for your health and well-being. Don't leave it up to someone else (spouse or doctor) to get you on the path towards feeling good. Try to be more active and make smarter choices concerning the foods you put into your body.

The best thing any dieter can do is forget weight as a goal. Weight is meaningless, and even if you make progress, but don't hit that *perfect* weight, you feel like you've failed.





Think about it. Does it really matter how much you weigh, if your body looks how you want it to? A person's ideal weight is made up of several factors, including genetics, bone density, muscle tone and their metabolic rate. Trying to attain a weight that may not be natural for your body is the quickest way to fail at a diet, quit and rebound, gaining more weight.





A better idea is to realistically picture how you want to look, then adopt a slow, reasonable process of a healthy diet and exercise. If you let your body change at its own pace, you will see results, and that will inspire you to keep going.





Personally, I haven't weighed myself in 15 years. I could care less how much I weigh. It's just a useless number. I make decisions on whether I need to change my eating and exercise habits by how I look in the mirror. If I see my face or gut starting to get bigger, I slightly decrease my daily calories, and exercise a little more. Then I check that mirror a week or two later and see what's changed. If I'm still getting fatter, I redouble my efforts.





When I was a teenager, I used to be obsessed about getting to 155 lbs. Then as I learned more about nutrition, I realized that if I exercised and replaced fat with heavier muscle (also boosting my metabolism) I might weight 165 or 170, but I'll look how I want to.





So, more than anything, forget weight. Actually, throw away the scale. All that matters is liking what you see in the mirror. No scale can give that to you, and losing lots of weight without increasing muscle tone can actually make you look less healthy, as you now have loose skin with no muscle to hold it firmly in place.
I'm trying myself.


I've found that carbs are not as great as they say.I stay away from them so the body is forced to burn fat instead of carbs.Veggies,fruit,tea,water,low cal.,no carbs,no pasta.


Good long workout,sweat is good.I had to pick up a motabolism booster as well.


They say it takes time.Good luck.
