How to Lose Weight For Good: The 3 Things You Need to Know! – Huffington Post

Lose Weight Comments Off on How to Lose Weight For Good: The 3 Things You Need to Know! – Huffington Post

Its a B-E-A-UTIFUL day here on Long Island, and its been quite a whirlwind! This is the first chance Ive had to sit down since 7 AM, and Im out here on my terrace with my doggie people watching. So creepy, but so fun!

It looks like theres a trio of prospective new tenants waiting for a leasing agent to meet them in front of the building, and they keep staring up at us as we look back at them without blinking (FYI, my dog is INSANE at staring contests! The only person whos ever beaten him at that game is my girlfriend!) Think were making them want to live here?:-p

Anyhow, today I want to talk about the three steps you need to take to lose weight FOR GOOD! It doesnt take rocket science, theres no secret pill, and if I hear about one more BS supplement that Dr. Oz says will burn off all the excess fat in your body, I will bust somebodys kneecap.

Whose kneecap? Wouldnt you like to know???

Getting back, its important to take a HOLISTIC approach on your journey. So many people just tackle the physical aspects, and solely try to find both a dietary and a fitness strategy that works for them.

While the conventional wisdom to Eat less and exercise more! CAN work in the short-term, why do you think so many people fall off the horse, revert back to old habits, and constantly yo-yo up and down with their weight?

ITS BECAUSE THOSE METHODS ARE NOT SUSTAINABLE!!!

Like the bolded underline? I thought you did;-)

We can only eat so little for so long. After a while, our bodies will go into a starvation mode, where we metabolize and process food differently than if we were NOT in a starvation mode.

Long story short, while in starvation mode, our bodies hold onto EVERYTHING we eat, good, bad or indifferent, and store it ALL as fat! It doesnt matter if its an organic green salad or a pint of Ben & JerrysIt will have the SAME effect on your body if its in a starvation mode.

In terms of exercise, everybodys of different fitness levels, and even have different hormonal imbalances. What works for me may not work for you, and vice versa. While I can certainly handle two-a-days and crazy military-style workouts (thanks CrossFit and HIIT), the couch potato whos just starting to move may barely be able to handle 20 minutes of moderate physical activity in the beginning.

Since I dont want to keep you waiting anymore (I know youre on the edge of your seat!), here are the three steps you need to take to lose weight FOR GOOD this time:

1. Get your mind right. At the present, I do this BEFORE I work on a clients nutrition or fitness. Reason being is that theres ALWAYS an emotional component to becoming reliant on crappy food and self-sabotaging to the point that youre READY to make this change.

What are your emotional triggers? Is it (or are they) a person, a place or a situation in your life? What can you do to nip these in the bud, so that the next time something bad happens, you dont resort to bad habits?

2. Clean up your nutrition. These two simple sentences are all you need to know to get started: Eat (organic) meats, vegetables, (raw) nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no (added) sugar. Eat ONLY when hungry, and just to satisfyNOT to stuff your face. These sentences can be applied anywhere, whether youre eating at home, or out at a restaurant.

3. Make fitness fun again! I know Im completely ripping off Donald Trumps presidential campaign slogan, but, eh, who cares? Because of how the gym has been portrayed in our culture, it makes exercise feel like a chore. All those weights and machines to a person whos not familiar with them can make the whole experience feel overwhelming. And the Do 3 sets of 12 reps of this exercise at this weight, along with the ITS CHEST DAY! crap BORRRRINNGGG!!!

You dont need all of that crap! All you need is some floor space, or a small outdoor area to get a workout in. Do what methods of fitness you enjoy, whether its yoga, pilates, running, weight lifting, etc. If youre not sure, take some free or cheap local exercise classes in your area, and see how you feel about different things. Then, change things up, listen to your body, and do what your body wants regularly.

Moral of the Story: Permanent weight loss doesnt have to be an insurmountable dream. Between myself and several of my clients, theres now a small movement of people who are NEVER going back to the way they were. All it took was a little bit of knowledge, a strong will to change and execution:-)
