You can’t lose weight and keep it off

The sad reality is that you have about as great a chance of losing

weight and keeping it off as you do of winning the lottery. This is

just a simple fact of life. Everybody knows it. Every magazine article and

television show on the topic gives the same facts: 95% of diets fail, and

for those who do lose weight, it’s just about guaranteed that they’ll gain

it all back. When the media interviews experts who study weight loss

for a living, they all say this is true.

Myths and Weight Loss

Myths are a part of every society and culture. They help explain common

experiences that are mysterious, frightening, or difficult to understand.

Ancient civilizations used myths to explain aspects of the world

that they could not comprehend. Joseph Campbell, author of the book

The Power of Myth, explains that we need myths to survive and to

explain and understand our existence.

Myths are powerful. They can inspire us to great heights. But they

can also become traps when they mask the full truth. If you go beyond

the kernel of truth that forms the basis of the myth and believe that

every aspect of the myth is true, you can become paralyzed into inaction

because the myth seemingly explains everything.

Myths serve a purpose. At least the ‘traditional’ kind do. There were lessons to be learned from the classic Greek and Roman myths, and still are, despite the fact that today we know they are nothing more than fanciful stories.

The problem with diet  and fitness myths; however, is that they get passed around so much, and even appear in print and on the internet, that people start to accept them as truth. And nothing can get in the way of your weight loss and fitness goals more

Diets, especially fad diets or “quick-fix” pills and plans, often set you up for failure because:

Sports nutrition rules : Fat

Fat contains more than twice the amount of energy as carbohydrate. A single gram contains nine calories making it a valuable source of fuel for longer duration activities. While fat cannot supply energy quickly enough for very intense activity, it can be used by the body to power lower intensity exercise such as jogging and walking.
Fat also provides insulation and protection to vital organs such as the heart, lungs and liver and transports vitamins throughout the body.
Not all dietary fat is the same. Like carbohydrate, fat can be broken down into several different groups:

Off Get The Scale

 Scales Aren’t Accurate A scale doesn’t take certain things into account like water weight (your body is 60 percent water, after all) or last night’s well-earned celebratory dinner. Your scale can’t tell if those 3
pounds you gained are from fat, muscle or bloating. With this in mind, it seems silly that many of us count on the number on a scale — or that we let it affect our happiness.

If You’ve Just Started The hard work of diet and exercise isn’t always reflected by your weight, especially during those first few weeks. Many people experience delayed results, which causes them to feel discouraged and to lose sight of their long-term goals. To avoid this, forget the number onthe scale and focus more on learning how to exercise right Come up with a realistic plan that works for you and your lifestyle.
