There are so many “so called” rapid weight loss diets out there that it is sometimes difficult to choose one that’s right for you. There are positives and negatives for all of them – it’s all about finding a fit and sticking with it – the longer you stay motivated the more likely you will be successful in your quest to lose weight.
If you have found yourself making excuses not to eat healthily you need to stop for a moment and visualize how you want to look in 3-6 months time. Forget how you are feeling right now and imagine how you’ll feel when you have lost 20 pounds and are able to fit into those snazzy jeans once more! Weight loss takes time but it is worth it for all the positives it brings.
Everyone has the odd hiccup, it’s important that you realize we all make mistakes and sneak in a piece of chocolate or a biscuit here or there – it is how you respond to these lapses that results in either success or failure. Choose the best rapid weight loss diets, don’t get downhearted – get back on track and most importantly – NEVER GIVE UP!
Right, with all that said I’d like to offer you 3 keys that any of the rapid weight loss diets you are considering should have:
1.) Be sure the diet isn’t too drastic.
The reason most rapid weight loss diets fail is because they are unsustainable. They might involve a severe restriction of calories or completely cut out many essential nutrients (like carbs or fat!), both of these factors can affect your ability to stick with the program for long enough for it to make a difference – and even if you do, you’re likely to pile the weight back on when the diet is finished. Choose a balanced diet and one that allows for occasional indulgences and you will ensure you remain motivated long enough to see dramatic weight loss results.
3.) Be sure that you choose a rapid weight loss diet that is easy to follow.
Many rapid weight loss diets contain great information but they are laid out in such a way that it is nigh on impossible to understand what to eat and when. You should make sure that any potential diet has a weekly menu set out in such a way that you know exactly what you should be eating each day.
3.) Consider the total cost of the program.
There are a great many rapid weight loss diets out there that cost an arm and a leg – you need to buy the book, the membership, specialist foods and supplements and umpteen other features to ensure success. Many people see the weight loss industry as a money spinner and have little regard for the health (or the bank balance!) of the consumer. Keep your eyes open for blatant marketing hype and don’t spend over the odds.
