Smart Weight Loss Edge

Oh, this is such an important topic….we could spend years on it.

Losing weight safely is one of THE most important things you can do. Why? Because when you have your health, you’re already ‘way ahead in the game….but when you lose weight unsafely, you run the risk of damaging your body and causing immense amounts of hurt and agony to yourself.

Losing weight safely means losing AT THE MOST 1 to 2 pounds a week. That’s it! Lose more continuously…and you’ll be shocking your body and driving it to think, Omigosh, I might be entering a starvation mode, let me slow down my metabolism and hang onto every calorie I can grab!

When you go on fad diets or starvation diets or anything that isn’t a permanent lifestyle change, you’re going to fall onto the dreaded Yo-yo dieting routine. IE:

• You try something
• You lose 7 pounds the first week (generally water weight)
• You stop losing so dramatically, so you get depressed
• You go off the diet and regain back that 7 pounds plus more.
• Months pass.
• You try again…and again…and again….resulting in losing and gaining the same blasted 7 pounds plus its children month after month.

NOT GOOD! REALLY BAD!!!!

And trust me, you deserve much better than that.

So! To lose weight safely, you need to commit yourself to a lifestyle change that you can maintain. It took you months or years to pack on the pounds; it will take you months or years to lose them as well.

But not to fear - it can be done and as a matter of fact, there’s scores of places online where you can read inspiring stories about it. Do visit:

• Weight Loss Tips (here’s Barbara’s interview)
• Before and After and In Between
• Active Low Carber Success Gallery
• The Weigh We Were Success
• Weight Watchers Success Stories
• Goal Achieved

You’ll see as you read the stories above that losing weight isn’t about eating weird for 2 weeks and then reverting back to your original way of being…instead, it’s about making a commitment to a new lifestyle and compelling yourself to succeed. And amazingly enough, that’s a rather easy thing to do…once you’ve made up your mind that you’re worth it.

Enjoy,
