• The Secret Connection between Loosing Fat and Eating Healthily

    by Alexander Becker on September 24, 2006 | Link

    Do you intend to resolve to eat healthily or do you want to lose the fat without the hassle of thinking about eating and exercising habits and the lack of it in your current lifestyle?

    Here is the big secret: One doesn't work without the other, there is no losing fat without a healthy, sustainable diet -- at least not in the long run.

    There is one recurring theme with people wanting to lose some or many pounds of excess fat. They want to lose the fat. They want to look good. They are even ready to deprive themselves of basic nutrients, only to see some results, and see them as fast as possible. These same people, with this exact attitude, do not care at all about their health. There are people fasting for many days in a row expecting to reverse years of gluttony, there are obese people who, all of a sudden, start to run in the morning, even regularly, all heading for that one -- wrong, completely false and misguided -- goal: Looking better, losing fat, becoming more attractive, ...

    Do not get me wrong, looking better is a great motivator and a powerful inspiration -- I want you to look as beautiful as possible and I even show you how to do it -- but as a goal in itself, it doesn't really work. Looking good and especially looking better are relative statements that may change over time and definitely change with increasing age and changing circumstances and growing competition.

    Losing fat quickly is about willpower -- and willpower is cheap -- but achieving sustainable and permanent health and fitness requires persistence and discipline -- rare virtues involving hard work.

    Take care of the sequence of goals -- you cannot go from fat and unhealthy and ignorant to beautiful and conscious in a single, giant leap. Set an initial goal of becoming healthier. Please note the gradual nature of the goal, become healthier than you are right now. Everyone can do this. Resolve to eat a little more healthily at first, then resolve to eat as healthily as possible. Make sure that your resolutions are long-term proof and you are truly convinced that conscious eating and a regular dose of physical fitness is the only way to achieve better looks, lose fat and become more attractive for the rest of your life.

    While it is no problem to design and have you follow a crash diet that makes you thinner and leaner and even more beautiful in a comparably short time, you are not going to be happy with the side-effects, let alone the yo-yoing back to where you are now and even exceeding your current levels of too much and too unhealthy.

    Losing fat, becoming even more attractive, healthy, sensible, and conscious regarding proper eating and exercising habits -- that you have to follow for the rest of your life -- takes time. Yet, your state of mind, your regained happiness, even joy, and the never before experienced levels of energy will more than make up for your investment of time and effort in your own life.
