The 4 Secrets of Highly Successful Dieters

By Caroline Monroe


The more you eat and the less you do, the more weight you gain. It seems like an easy formula to understand, but knowing that the more you eat and the less you work out the more weight you tend to gain, is a tough lesson to grasp for some. If we want to lose weight, and we know the formula to do so, then what seems to be the issue?

Commitment to yourself and your weight loss goals is important in order to lose weight. You have to be able to avoid junk foods and other temptations that will derail you from your goals. Making weight loss a habit, and not a choice is what sets successful dieters apart from the rest of us. Following the next 4 tips will help set you apart in your ability to lose weight in 2 weeks.

Set specific and certain goals in order to achieve them. Saying you "want to lose weight", simply won't cut it. You have to instead say, "I want to lose 10 pounds in 2 weeks". This is a specific goal, and with specific goals your mind will start to bridge the gap between you, and where you want to be. You will be able to achieve these goals quicker and more easily if they are specific.

How often have you said, "I'm going to have a salad for dinner", then when you get home and see the food in the refrigerator, you end up microwaving a pizza? All too often I would bet. When you know exactly what you are going to eat, like the salad, weight loss becomes easier. Don't sabotage yourself. Statistically it is shown that you will have a 2 to 3 times higher chance at reaching your weight loss goal if you stick to a Predetermined Meal Plan.

Staying positive is important. Losing weight fast is not the most easy thing to do so it is important to have a healthy, positive outlook. Be aware though, that being positive and being nieve are closely related and don't think that losing weight will come easy to you. Thinking it will be easy will lower your ability to stay motivated. Stay optimistic, work hard and shoot high in your goals and they will come true.

Learn how to work out your "self-control muscle". To lose weight fast you not only have to work out your body, you have to strengthen your mind as well. Strengthening your "self-control muscle" is a learned and practiced thing. Go slowly, and take baby steps. There is no need to go vegan overnight, but instead of eating your sandwich AND bag of chips, eat the sandwich, toss the bag of chips away and grab an apple. Baby steps.

Know the formula for successful weight loss. Eat less, and work out more. But know that that is not where it stops. Successful weight loss is 90% habit, motivation and goal setting. If you are able to figure these out then you are well on your way to losing weight fast and keeping it off for good. Stay positive and stay focused and you will have success.
