Changing Habits For Weight Loss is Not Easy - But Necessary

Dieting does not come easy for many of us. Some of us have had a lifetime of eating foods which promote body fat such as breads, pasta, and sweets. Though we do not really know why some people crave these items, I do have my own theory. People who have lower levels of serotonin which controls our feel good moods overall, are lacking in something which is found in these foods. For those who want to achieve weight loss these food are poison. Without the high metabolism to fight off the added pounds we gain weight.

Perhaps seeking other ways to feel good can help with the cravings. Yoga is notorious for making people feel better. However, lowering stress levels is easier said than done because unless you have a really good boss, all of your kids are perfect and you have plenty of money in the bank you will have some stress in your life. Unfortunately, increased levels of stress can contribute to weight gain in most people.

With this in mind, finding any weight loss secrets can be very helpful when all else fails. Some people will tell you to drink a lot of fruit juice or go on a juice fast. As "secrets" go, there are a few problems with this approach. For starters, fruit juice and can be very high in calorie content and it is a natural acidic sugar (which is bad for the teeth). A better approach is to drink plenty of water when you are dieting.

When you first drink a lot of water you will find you have to run to the restroom often but this will change as you flush out fluids. The real benefit of drinking lots of water is that is helps with all aspects of any diet you are pursuing. It lowers retention of water in the body which helps you to appear thinner. In addition, staying hydrated keeps you from experiencing hunger pains since most people do not realize that thirst is often mistaken for cravings for more food.

If you can remember that most of eat excessively to feel better and then take steps to reduce stress in your life, you will likely find that your dieting efforts are much more successful over the long run.
