How To Drop Weight Fast, Slowly And Surely.

One of my friends has been on every conceivable “lose weight quick” scheme that has crossed his path. He is overweight, and has been trying to lose weight quickly for a few years now. He has tried diet pills, and numerous fad diets, but has lost no weight. He refuses to consider sensible eating programs, because they will take too long. This got me thinking, if you want to know how to drop weight fast, perhaps “slow and steady” is the way to go.

First up, we need to look at the causes of weight gain. Our society revolves around processed food. This is resulting in a large increase in overweight people. These overweight people are running a huge risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, and many other illnesses that can rob quality of life and reduce their life span.

It is important to allow yourself time to make the necessary changes. We want to do this the quick way, which means we want to make it manageable and realistic. It is all too easy to develop poor eating habits, especially with all the so called “health foods” the food giants are throwing at us that are not healthy at all. We will succeed by making good choices, one choice at a time.

For example, you might start off with changing your bowl of chocolate frosted sugar bombs for a bowl of oatmeal, some nitrate/nitrite free bacon, and a piece of fruit. If you are in the habit of eating out every day, maybe start to prepare a healthy meal at home once a week. When you do eat out, perhaps start to exchange the side order of fries for a salad every second meal. If you can make a new small change every 2 weeks, and keep it in place, it will not be too long till your bad eating habits are a thing of the past.

Eating healthy food will see your health improve, and your weight will begin to drop. However, as your body adjusts, the rate of weight drop can reduce. This is where you will have to increase your metabolic rate. This is done through exercise. You don’t have to begin a full gym routine. Just start off doing more than you did previously. Maybe some star jumps on the spot before you have a shower. You changed your food habits gradually, now change your exercise habits gradually. As your fitness improves, you will need to add something else to your routine, to keep the metabolism going.

Healthy food and exercise will get you the results you want, but there is one more factor that is needed if you are to succeed, and that is commitment. The successful road to good health is not an easy road. You will occasionally fall off the side, or stumble backwards slightly. But your commitment to your health will make the difference between getting back on track, or giving up. The path of fad diets is a loop. It has no happy ending. But the narrow and occasionally steep path you are on is the fast path, because if you stay committed, you will succeed.

You have had your little stumble, but now your commitment takes you by the hand and sets you right back on the path. Shake off the cupcake crumbs and resume your journey. You began this journey because you wanted to know how to drop weight fast, but now you are on the home stretch. You can hear your good health not far down the road, urging you on, and you smile to yourself, because you know you will make it.
