The 4 Secrets of Highly Successful Dieters

By Caroline Monroe


The more you eat and the less you do, the more weight you gain. It seems like an easy formula to understand, but knowing that the more you eat and the less you work out the more weight you tend to gain, is a tough lesson to grasp for some. If we want to lose weight, and we know the formula to do so, then what seems to be the issue?

Commitment to yourself and your weight loss goals is important in order to lose weight. You have to be able to avoid junk foods and other temptations that will derail you from your goals. Making weight loss a habit, and not a choice is what sets successful dieters apart from the rest of us. Following the next 4 tips will help set you apart in your ability to lose weight in 2 weeks.

Learn how to be specific about your weight loss goals. Setting a goal to "lose weight" is setting yourself up for failure. You have to set specific goals in order to achieve them, and if you do, you will be amazed at what happens. When you set specific goals your mind starts to bridge the gap between where you are currently and where you ought to be. Lose 10 pounds in 2 weeks is something more specific and clear.

How often have you said, "I'm going to have a salad for dinner", then when you get home and see the food in the refrigerator, you end up microwaving a pizza? All too often I would bet. When you know exactly what you are going to eat, like the salad, weight loss becomes easier. Don't sabotage yourself. Statistically it is shown that you will have a 2 to 3 times higher chance at reaching your weight loss goal if you stick to a Predetermined Meal Plan.

Staying positive is important. Losing weight fast is not the most easy thing to do so it is important to have a healthy, positive outlook. Be aware though, that being positive and being nieve are closely related and don't think that losing weight will come easy to you. Thinking it will be easy will lower your ability to stay motivated. Stay optimistic, work hard and shoot high in your goals and they will come true.

Strengthen your mind by flexing your "self-control muscle". In order to lose weight and to keep weight off you have to practice restraint. And I do mean practice. Strengthening your self-control muscle is a practiced art and it takes awhile to build up. You don't have to go full on, anti-junk food over night, but instead, opt for an apple instead of your usual bag of chips next time you are at Penera. Small things do add up and self-control is a learned thing. Take baby-steps.

Committing to weight loss is just like anything thing else. You have to know the formula for success, be specific about your goals, think ahead and stick to the plan, remain positive and have a strong sense of willpower. But if you stick to the basics, you will have success! You will be able to lose weight in 2 weeks!
