The Ultimate Weight Loss Attitude
We in the diet and exercise industry have our own opinions on what diets work and which ones are just sales gimmicks. This can be very discouraging to you the consumer. Unfortunately, a lot of people want to get on the band wagon of wellness and tap into millions of Americans desperate need to feel better, lose weight and get in better shape.
Over my twenty year tender in the weight loss business I have seen every single program and have heard thousands of success and failure stories. The facts are that any dietary plan on the market has some portion of it that works, but the basic principle of any good eating program, no matter how sugarcoated, centers around calories IN- calories OUT.
The eating "only one type of food diets" will not be effective, and such a restricted diet defeats you mentally. Most diets are just too unrealistic for a person’s lifestyle. Plus they don’t supply enough basic nutritional needs for people to stay with them. Balance is the key! Attitude is the key to keeping balance!!
For what ever its worth, I would like to purpose this mental approach to you using four of the best plans out there. I want to point out the messege, so do not shoot the messenger.
Principle #1: CHANGE YOUR UNWANTED BEHAVIORS: For what ever you think about Dr. Phil he still has the best approach to weight loss when it comes to dealing with the beliefs behind the behaviors.
Goal #1: Figure out your illusions behind your behaviors. Change them and you will change your life.
Principle 2: HAVE AN ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM. When Weight Watchers decided to put responsibility back into the consumers hands by connecting points and weigh-ins to your eating habits their business tripled. You need accountability.
Goal #2: Incorporate a support and accountability system into your wellness plan.
Principle #3: SUGAR IS KILLING YOU INSIDE OUT. Instant gratification is killing you. Sugar busters teaches us to watch our sugar filled foods.
Goal #4: Lose the sugar, lose the weight. That simple!
Principle #4: AMERICA HAS A PROTEIN DEFIENCY. The South Beach Diet has been successful because it does two things; increases the amount of protein in your diet and cuts done on the meats filled with so many preservatives.
Goal #4: Start eating more protein in your diet and less complex carbohydrates.
After working with thousands of people – those who had this four principles in there diet plans were more successful. I call this the Changing from the INSIDE OUT mindset.

After Gastric Bypass: Pass the Water, Hold the Ice
I just read this conventional diet tip – and we’ve heard it before – "Burn away fat with ice cold water! Ice cold water is calorie-free and fills you up so you can eat less. Drink ice-cold water and you’ll even burn a few extra calories as your body warms it up!"
If you are in the phase of rapid weight loss or have lost quite a bit of weight you know exactly why gastric bypass patients don’t drink ice cold water – we’re already freezing – even in the heat of summer. The last thing we want to do is get colder!
People who experience the massive weight loss associated with weight loss surgery experience feeling cold for two reasons: loss of insulation and less energy generation.
Fat is a highly efficient insulator. When gastric bypass patients follow the rules: eating protein and exercising, the weight lost can only come from fat or stored energy: insulation. Less insulation increases the likelihood of feeling cold.
The second reason for feeling chilled is that the metabolic cell processes are not working as hard as when you were heavier; it takes fewer calories and less energy to maintain and move a smaller body. A heavier body must generate more energy to operate, as a result more heat is generated.
Most weight loss patients report that their body temperature regulates after their weight is stabilized, usually eighteen to twenty-four months after surgery. Patients who incorporate exercise in their weight loss program experience less chilling than patients who do not exercise.
