Why You Can't Seem To Lose Weight

You have to get serious about losing weight if you're going to succeed.

           

No one has to be overweight just because your parents are overweight. Being slim all comes down to "what you eat and how active you are". It's that simple if you eat food that will add fat, then you'll gain fat usually around the waist or middle section of your body.  If you eat food that burn fat you'll get slimmer and lose fat.

You should start with a food log either on your cell phone, laptop, or plain paper and keep track of everything you eat and drink. This actually has two purposes, one so you can tell what foods are adding fat and you can stop eating them and second, it keeps your mind on your diet (a constant reminder that you want to lose weight). Some people that use a food log will lose weight just by having to write down everything. It gives you time to analyze what your eating (do I really want this).

After a couple of weeks keeping the food log, you should have a good idea what you have to stop eating if you want to lose weight. This is a great first step in losing weight.

Also, you need to start eating healthy. The hard part is many of us still eat like we did in school. The one thing I remember about College was that "no one loses weight in College". So true, I never saw so much comfort food as I did in school. If you are ever going to lose weight you have to stop eating processed or manufactured foods and drinks.
You can buy fresh produce and seafood, poultry, and fresh meat in a supermarket, or if you can find a farmers market it's better to buy organic on most of your produce. Read up on "eating healthy" and see what choices you have.

I want to explain a few things first, most of your favorite foods are not going to be on the list of
"good foods for weight loss". You probably will have to get used to eating many of the vegetables that you don't eat now. Meat should only be one-quarter of your meal. Vegetables should be half your meal and I mean all three meals and whole grains the other quarter. In some countries they always eat tomatoes breakfast, lunch, and dinner along with other green vegetables. In most of Europe, the only red meat they eat is wild game and that's very seldom, they eat mostly poultry and seafood.

So lose weight will be a learning experience. The more you learn about your body and the right way to maintain it, the healthier and slimmer you'll be.
