Calories Are Bad
If you know anything about dieting, you know it's about watching your calories. Lots of people put themselves on severely restricted diets that allow them just a handful a day. But the truth is that calories are good for you. Calories give you energy to burn. but basically the problem with calories is that we don't burn what we take in. If you get 3,000 calories a day and burn them climbing mountain peaks or wrestling with crocodiles (which I don't recommend, by the way!), you'll stay slim. It's not the calories' fault; it's whether or not you use them.
Fat Genes and Eating Disorders
Self-defeating attitudes are much worse for your weight loss success than calories, sugar, fried foods, or your sedentary lifestyle. You can't lose weight because you believe it's impossible. You're fated to be fat. Why is this? Because there's a fat gene that curses you from birth to be overweight. Either that, or due to some long-ago childhood trauma, you've got a food addiction and it forces you to hog every meal. You can't lose weight until you take full responsibility for your thoughts and actions. This means ditching the victim attitude of fat genes and eating disorders. If you eat too much, exercise too little, and fail to stay in the best mental health, you'll gain weight. If you eat right, exercise right and learn to cope better, you'll slim down. It's as simple as that!
Say Goodbye to Your Favorite Foods
The real horror of dieting is saying goodbye to the foods you love. All of that sugary, sweet, greasy, deep-fried, meaty goodness! It's enough to make you just accept your bulk and learn to live with the weight. But wait - what if I told you that you don't have to stop eating tasty food? I know it sounds like one of those late night infomercials, but it's a fact that you don't have to give up anything. You have just one thing to gain - the practice of moderation. That, and some knowledge about how what you eat does what it does.
Focus on Your Abs
Almost everybody wants to lose belly fat. That's the trouble spot for most folks. Lots of ads for abs workout products tell you that all you have to do is BUY their product, use it and you'll have a six pack. You can get a six pack, but it's not through crunches or sit-ups. It's through working the whole body. The flab around your belly is fat and you have to lose it by burning more calories than you take in. Any good exercise will slim your belly. Well, I hope I've set a few things straight and you're ready to get started now. Throughout the series I'm going to teach you the simple facts about weight loss and give you concrete steps you can take today to lose the weight.
