Having trouble keeping the weight off?

I write about this very thing every week because I get so much mail on this very subject. Most people, who aren't real fanatics on weight loss, don't always take the problem seriously. They cut back a little on the food they eat by using a type of portion control but then cheat on calories by eating one of their favorite high calorie foods.

That's one type of dieter and then there's another type that exercises and never changes their diet. He might workout, and this is typical of men, burns 200 calories but then goes home and drinks a couple beers. Women are almost as bad drinking wine. Cutting back on portions and then drinking your calories won't help you lose weight.

Losing weight is about losing body fat and you can't lose fat if you continue to drink calories. Most dieters think they can cut calories on their plate but never think about all the calories their drinking. "But I use artifical sweetner and I drink diet drinks". Ok, except that artifical sweetners actually make you crave sweets. Dieters that have trouble losing weight are the ones that won't stop eating and drinking their favorite things. If you don't break your bad habits you may lose a couple pounds but you won't lose fat and you won't lose the food cravings.

If you want to lose fat you have to get your body to burn body fat instead of the food your eating. Your body has to burn some fat every day to protect your moving parts. Your joints and heart are continually moving causing the protective layer of tissue to ware down and the fat your body burn every dayhelps replace those protective layers. But the body can't burn all fat, it haought frozens to burn some protein and some carbs, because your body is complicated and the protein is needed to repair muscle tissue and carbs are needed for energy.

Now if your not consuming enough fat to repair the joints, your body will use stored fat and thats how I reduced my body fat. I stopped eating animal fat by eating seafood instead, and I stopped drinking calories. By doing that and changing to whole foods and not processed foods you cut out a lot of artifically made carbs and this will also cut your calories.



So I don't cut back on food, I just change what I'm eating. Whole foods are best, never been frozen or refrigerated, but because some fresh foods are seasonal fruits and vegetables can be bought frozen like berries, peas, and other vegetables, and even some seafood is okay to buy frozen. Search the internet for low-mercury seafood.

You don't have to starve to lose body fat, you just change what your eating.
