The most common reason that people cite for dieting today is weight loss.
While most of us would love to claim the noble mantle of dieting for health the vast majority of us are doing so for vanity. This, however, is a perfectly acceptable and plausible reason for making the lifestyle changes that are necessary in order to diet. In fact, this reason might prove to be a far greater motivator than many of the other commonly stated reasons for dieting.When dieting for weight loss one of the most common complaints is constantly feeling hungry.
In order to help combat this, you might want to incorporate some of the following strategies into your dieting program. First of all, eat more high fiber foods. Whole grains, apples, pears, and lima beans are a great source of fiber as are many breakfast cereals. Easy does it however when it comes to fiber as it may be filling but there are some unpleasant side effects that may accompany heavy fiber eating (remember that beans are a good source of fiber). Try using a product such as Bean-o when consuming larger amounts of fiber. You might also try spreading your fiber intake throughout the day rather than consuming all your daily fiber at once.Another method for feeling fuller when dieting is to drink plenty of water while dieting.
Learn to control your portions.
Do not go “Gung Ho”. There are limits to what the body and the mind can handle.
When you go on a diet you are making a drastic change to your bodies caloric intake. If you go overboard you can lead to health risks along the way. Begin cutting calories a little at a time and incorporate changes as you go rather than going in with an all or nothing attitude. If you go overboard with your dieting plans chances are that you are dooming your diet to failure.
Dieting for weight loss does not necessarily have to be a major
sacrifice on your part but in order to be successful it will be a
radical change in lifestyle, particularly if you need to lose more
than a few vanity pounds. The health implications of loosing the
weight are well worth the required effort and should not be taken
lightly no matter how excited you are about your new body that is
hiding inside your old one.
