In the multi-billion dollar industry, marketers would have you believe that weight loss is insanely difficult, and can only be achieved with tenacity and will-power and THEIR product or plan or system. Many individuals are successful on this program or that, taking this supplement or that one, or eating on this diet or another. So, really which one is best? Why is it so difficult to simply lose weight?
The physics of weight loss are very, very simple. Consume less then you burn. Said another way, eat less calories than you use in a day. Despite the billions of dollars spent, this core principle NEVER changes. Only the hype and spin does.
Simple weight loss will occur when you reduce your calories (even by a little bit) today, and increase your movement. There is no one that can not do those two things. That is the simplicity of weight loss. Most people keep looking for the right pill, guru, plan, diet that will magically make the weight fall off them, or make the whole concept of dieting easier.
How can you reduce your calories today? Eliminate ONE thing from your daily meals. Just one single bite reduced per meal will equal 75-100 pounds over the whole day. If you simply cut out 100 calories a day for a year, that would be a loss of 10.4 pounds of fat. Ten pounds lost from taking away one bite at each meal. If you add an extra 100 calories of movement, say 10 minutes of walking at a brisk pace, and add them together, now you will lose 20 pounds a year. (All other things staying the same.)
Do you see how simple weight loss can be? You can start right at this moment to lose weight. Get up and take a walk - even for 2 minutes. Losing weight like this, with tiny, small changes, will allow you to eat all of your favorite foods.
Good luck!
