Selfish Reasons For Losing Weight Are Essential

And it's no good trying to reduce weight or develop a flat stomach to please someone else. Reasons like: "My doctor wants me to lose weight" or "I'm dieting to please my partner" are no good. You must only lose weight to please yourself. Because when you want that high calorie creamy dessert, or that extra slice of pizza, other people suddenly stop being relevant. To motivate yourself to restrict your calories, you need to do it for yourself !

Weight Loss Tip - Eat Only when Required

Try to focus on your internal hunger signals instead of external stimuli telling you to eat. Don't eat if you are not hungry, even if that is the time you normally would eat. You can resist cravings for foods in between meals by doing something to take your mind of eating. Try taking a walk or doing something active to distract yourself until the craving passes.

Some Dieting Methods Lead to Extra Muscle Loss

Some types of diets can increase loss of muscle, as opposed to fat. For example, if we try to reduce weight too fast (by following a very-low-energy diet), our brain may think that there is a food shortage, and try to conserve calories. One method it uses to achieve this calorie-conservation, is to burn muscle instead of fat. Why? Because, compared to fat, muscle requires fewer calories to maintain.
