4 Habits of Highly Successful Dieters Revealed

By Caroline Monroe


The more you eat and the less that you exert the more weight you will gain. This seems to be a realistic and easy-to-understand formula for most to grasp. However, knowing that the calories in verses the calories out formula is a tough thing for most people to stick to. If you want to lose weight, and you understand the basics, then what seems to be the issue?

Being able to commit to your weight loss goals and the ability to avoid temptations that will inevitably pop-up, is the number one key to losing weight. Having success in weight loss is created by habit and sticking to an exercise routine. This is a guaranteed result. Being able to lose weight will happen, but being able to lose weight in two weeks will only happen if you grasp these basic concepts.

"Lose 10 pounds in 2 weeks" is a specific goal. "Lose weight" is not. You must be able to be specific in your weight loss goals in order to achieve them. To make them come to reality, you have to be precise and accurate. If you do, you will be amazed at what happens to you and your figure. When you set specific goals, you mind and attitude will change and adapt in order to realize your goal. You will bridge the gap between where you are, and where you want to be.

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.

You will have success is you follow these tips. Losing weight is no easy task and not as simple as a formula. Although reducing calories and increasing exercise plays a major role in proper weight loss, the motivation, goal setting and practiced techniques discussed above are what set successful dieters apart from the yo-yo dieters. Keep positive, keep motivated and remain focused on why you are losing weight and you will succeed.
