“…please help me lose weight asap…coz i have to lost 25 kg within 3 month… “

This is a very common statement that I always received from my potential students. I do understand that you have a certain events or functions that you must attend and most important you will look great in the new dress or new outfit. When there is a special events or functions, most people will take this “reason” as the biggest push/motivation to help lose weight.

Why not take a silent moment and have do some thinking…and you must ask yourself these few questions:

Help Me Lose Weight Questions To Ask

• Is this weight loss program that I am going to start is a one-off thingy?
• If I can achieve such a results in just 3 months time, will it be healthy for me?
• What is my long term plan in maintaining and keeping the kgs that I have lost during the weight loss program?
• Am I making decisions based on emotions, looking for short cut or being healthy for long term is my priority?

Let’s face the REALITY…

To be able to lose 25kg within 3 months is not healthy. Healthy average weight loss in a month is 1-3kg. And for realistic weight loss results for 3 months will be around 3-9kg. If you can gradually lose the excess weight from the body in a healthy way, you can be in control of your own weight and health.

If I am ignorant…there is no one can help me lose weight…

An example of  unhealthy diet plan that most people don’t realize

I am going to eating so little, not gong to eat rice for the coming 3 months. Yes, it will help me lose weight! Okies, within the 3 months, you could have achieved that, eating little and not eating rice. But then, WHAT’S NEXT? Are you going to continue to eat less and not going to eat rice just to maintain your weight? Chances most people will forget about that and go back to their usual eating lifestyle, eat what they love. Then, this will affect in the Yo Yo Effects because it is all about a sudden cut of food and calories for the body and a sudden increase of food and calories. It is so simple to understand about Yo Yo Effects.

There is no SHORTCUT

You can be in control of your weight loss results for a long term if you learn to eat right, exercise, have sufficient sleep, watch what you are eating and always think before putting the food into your body.

Key To Help Me Lose Weight: Eating right is the most difficult thing to do in our daily busy life. But lucky thing, there is really a type of food that is called Healthy Fast Food that is able to help busy people with little time to lose weight, manage their weight and health. Eat right and let the body do the job that it should be doing.

Healthy Fast Food – What is that?

Healthy fast food is what your body needs. What body needs is Balance Nutrition.

Ideal type of healthy fast food fullfil these criteria:

• It is with moderate calories
• Contains good sources of protein from plant
• Contains sufficient fiber, essential vitamin and minerals
• Preparing time is as little as a minute

What a healthy fast food do to us?

• Managing our weight
• Reaching our fitness goals
• Look best for caring my skin and body
• Addressing specific nutritional needs that we have.

All these can only start with bringing nutrition into the balance. Health is often affected by our body being deprived with the essential nutrients to function properly. In short, lack of balance nutrition. The surprising truth is most people aren’t getting the balance nutrition that they need.

How Obesity And Overweight Issue Happens

A lack of balance nutrition and poor eating can have many health consequences. Some more visible than other. One of the visible consequences is Obesity. Around the world, 1 Billion adults are overweight and 300 Millions are consider as obese; according to WHO. This also leads to common chronic diseases such as coronary heart  disease and type 2 diabetes.

With busy, stressful lifestyle with little time to make healthy food drink choices, and add on with fast food and snacks readily and easily available, your body often missed out necessary vitamin, minerals, fiber and protein. There are many reasons for weight gain issues such as large portion of meals, snacking, sandwiches, unhealthy ready meals are often the culprit. Also lack of time, knowledge and desire. Missing lunch and compensate with large dinner. This means many of us still not getting healthy balance nutrition throughout the day.

Danger of Deficiency of Balance Nutrition

Deficiency in balance nutrients intake is just bad. Even if you believe that you are eating well, you still can be  missing out from the vital nutrients. Take for example, vegetarians needs to be sure to get Vitamin B12 which is vital for the nervous system. Another example is fruits and vegetables. Everyone should be getting at least 5 servings a day.

In short 9 out of 10 times, we simply don’t realize the impact of what we are consuming is. Even it is not showing on your body yet. Lacking of balance nutrition can add to health challenges later on.

The Importance of Healthy Fast Food That Includes Balance Nutrition

Balance nutrition is a must if you want to lead an active and healthy lifestyle.

P.S: Healthy Fast Food that contains balance nutrition plays the biggest role in helping me to lose weight successfully. You can read more in detailed about How Healthy Fast Food Help Me To Lose Weight.

Eating Less To Lose Weight: Correct or Wrong?

When I tried to promote to people about healthy way to lose weight, one of my subscriber replied to my email and she said..

i have lose 8 kg already just less eat as usual

My replied to her, how long can you afford eating less to lose weight? Can you afford to eat lesser and lesser for the rest of your lives just to maintain and keeping the weight off? Does she knows that initial stage of eating less to lose weight will work so effectively and that is the reason why she is losing 8kgs just by eating less to lose weight. Eating less to lose weight without eating a healthy diet, is not the right way to lose weight. This is because when a person started eating less and not eating a healthy diet, let’s say insufficient of protein intake. What the body will do is, it will steal protein from your muscles and organs. Then, when you are losing your weight, it could be losing the muscles mass.

Eating less to lose weight will work because it is a sudden cut on the amount of calories intake to the body. When a person takes lesser calories than the body needs, automatically the person will experience weight loss. Cutting down calories is the right way to lose weight, but cutting down the nutrients needed by the body is a huge No No.

What is your body telling you when your body is not getting the nutrients needed?

When your body is lack of the nutrition needed, you will notice few things like:

• Dry skin
• Easily crack nails
• Coarse hair
• Easily feeling tired
• Looking pale
• No energy

When your body is telling you something, this shows your body is telling you about your weight loss plan.

If your body starts  telling you something that means you are under go an unhealthy way of weight loss. Your body is lacking the nutrients needed. A lot of people are neglecting this and take it easy.  What is the point that you can lose weight, then you don’t look attractive? Out of the sudden you can lose weight, but you look so unattractive because you are easily feeling tired, looking pale as if a sick person and lack of energy? Is this called the success in losing weight? Do you dare to teach people to lose weight like you do even you have lost a lot of weight using your own weight loss plan which is showing that your body is lacking of the balance nutrition needed by your body?

Please: Don’t be the blind person who leads another blind person…

I received emails from my subscribers asking me questions, “How to have long term results after losing those excess weights”, “How do I maintain it”?

We got to face the truth. The only way to have a long term results, maintaining and keeping the weight off forever is by having healthy diet. Eat healthy and we can maintain our weight, health at the same time not gaining back those excess weight.

Let me summarize the process of healthy diet to lose weight that I personally felt when I started a healthy way to lose weight.

1st – 2nd Week: Toughest and most challenging period

For the first week to second week, when you just started dieting is really a challenge to you. This is the time where by your body is trying to adjust to new way of your eating habits and the pattern of food intake and also the amount of water. Basically, it is the starting point for the body to get used and adjust the new healthy way of dieting. Of course, feeling hungry is very normal.. but don’t starve your self. It is advisable that you drink shakes whenever you feel hungry. You can also eat some fruits/hi fibre biscuits to control your hunger.

3rd – 4th Week: Slowly adapting the changes

For the third week to the fourth week, you will feel that dieting by changing the eating habits and lifestyle isn’t that tough and difficult at all. This is because you do not really feel the hunger pangs if you are taking sufficient protein which able to send the signal to the brain to control the hunger.

5th Week or 2nd Month: You can feel  results from the effort that you have put in for the past 1 month

For the 5th weeks or second month, you will feel that your eating habits is slowly changing. Take for eg, before this you really love fried food or oily food, but now when you taste some food that is too oily or eating fried food, you just don’t have the appetite. Congratulations, if you have reached this stage. This is because for the following month onwards, your dieting is as simple as ABC. You will also noticed that drinking water of 3-4 litres per day isn’t a problem anymore. Continue on with the routine consistently, stay focus ..and you will see unbelievable results on you.

Losing weight process: Changing of eating habits and lifestyle > Maintaining the healthy eating habits and lifestyle > Monitoring your weight from time to time. Most people undergo the losing weight process very successfully, but they failed to go through the maintaining and monitoring stage. During the losing weight process, they are usually following a strict daily diet menu, but when they have lost some weight or reach the weight that they wanted, they started to eat and continue back the lifestyle that they have before this. Of course, the weight will follow as you are no longer following the healthy diet menu.

To answer the questions, the success to have long term results and maintaining the weight  is by following and cultivating healthy diet to lose weight. Then followed by healthy diet in your daily diet menu every single day. Do not forget to drink sufficient of H2O.

I would love to hear from you, what are your challenges that you are facing during the losing weight journey?
