Losing Weight: What’s stopping you and why you’re not following the menu I provided to you?

For my students who complaints to me that they do not see results from their weight management program, I will usually ask them to share with me what they have been doing all this especially what do they eat. See, when a person gets onto a weight management program and they did not follow what is being told, it is really hard to see the results.

It’s all Reasons or Excuses Only…

If I have identified where the problem is that they are not getting results, I will usually ask them…”Why aren’t you follow the menu I provided to you?” And their answer for me, I would called it “Reasons” or “Excuses”.

I Know What You Have Been Through and I Understand It …

I have been through, the feeling of being a fat and unhealthy person. And I know what you need to go through in order for you to see the results. I can be there for you whenever you needed someone to talk to and someone to complaint too about who is sabotaging your weight loss program, and how to go about solving the cravings that you have from time to time. Losing weight can be a success when you don’t feel you are alone facing the challenges of losing weight.

What You Really Need To Do To Keep You Moving Forward In Losing Weight?

For anyone who wants to start a weight management program or decided wanted to lose weight, they really need to have a clarity of what do they want to achieve and what is the main reason for them to lose weight. If they do not have clarity, chances of them giving up half way is very high.

What Is Clarity?

• Able to visualize the new YOU, the new wardrobe
• Knowing exactly WHY you want to start a weight management program
• What will you do if people around you are trying to sabotage your weight loss plan?
• I’m not following the weight loss plan, am I giving myself reasons or excuses?
• What makes me stop moving forward to achieve MY weight loss goals?

Try asking yourself 5 Questions about Clarity. If you can answer it then you know what you are doing. If you can’t answer, I suggest you to find out the clarity first before jumping to start with any kind of weight management program.

7. I love myself more than anything else, so I want to be in control of my own weight and health. I can be so annoying that while having lunch or dinner together with my colleagues, I will just stare and looking at them eating and me, just drinking my H2O and my meal replacement smoothies.

Today I received an email from one of my subscribers. He thanked me for the diet tips that I sent to him. Our conversation goes like this:

Mr Subscriber: I’m trying to diet but the results is not satisfactory, but persevering.

Stella Chua: Which method you are trying?

Mr Subscriber: Cut out carbo, sugars, fats. Eat less and when hungry only. It worked during puasa month. After……

Do you face the same kind of problem and frustration like Mr Subscriber? Let’s check out the common mistakes done by dieters who are trying to lose weight.

Common Mistake #1: Fooling Yourself into Thinking that Skipping Meals is the Way To Avoid Calories Intake

Frankly, I don’t where does this idea came about. It is actually really bad to skip meals. Let me explain why. When your blood sugar drops below normal level, you’ll experience cravings and a drop of energy. You again revert to simple carbohydrates to achieve a quick surge of blood sugar and to overcome hunger and a drop of energy. Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white breads, toasts) and others (noodles, rice, beans) cause an immediate raise of blood sugar level which results in a substantial emission of insulin. The insulin removes sugar from blood turning its excess into fat. The result is a decreased level of blood sugar, and thirst for more carbs. This cycle repeats itself 2, 3 or more times during the day. This vicious circle constitutes one of the major reasons for diabetes, high blood pressure and extra weight.

Ask yourself, how often you are fighting with your mind about your cravings and hunger?

Common Mistake #2: Blind Leading The Blind, Thinking That Eating Less Will Have Lower Calories Intake…

I’m not surprised why a lot of people are not successful in managing their weight. When you are eating less than what you are normally eating, one challenging that you will need to face is HUNGER. Yes, eating less is the right way to have the calories control, but we need to eat the right food that is able to send the signal to the brain to decrease the hunger, raises your resting metabolism by maintaining muscle mass.

It is really frustrating and pressuring feelings to stand the hunger. So, most people will say “Ahhh! Dieting is so tough. I just can’t stand the hunger” and so, the journey to dieting comes to a full stop. Eating the right food that is able to make you feel fuller for longer time that will trick the brain and with the kind of food is lower in calories will be able to help to manage your weight.

Common Mistake #3: Taking Advantage of Fasting Month As The Best Time To Lose Weight

This is the bad time for losing weight. During the fasting time, it is actually a shock to the body that suddenly so little of water intake and suddenly during “buka” time, taking the wrong kind of food for the body. Too much sugar, too much oil or fried food. With the Ramadhan Bazaar, so many varieties of delicious food no doubt that most people over bought the food and overeat as well. It is recommended that 3-4 hours after meal, then go to bed.

During fasting month, most people are actually losing water weight and not the actual weight loss.

Common Mistake #4: Keep Spending More Money On Lose Weight Products That Does Not Work

It is very often for me to hear my subscribers telling me that they have tried a lot of different methods of losing weight and spending lots of money on all sorts of products and going for treatment at slimming centers, but none give them the satisfactory long term results. We need to know, products in the market, Yes, they do work in helping you to lose weight but what are you going to do after you have lost weight? Is there any miracle kind of products that can help you in maintaining and keeping your weight off forever? Well, I do wish this kind of miracle product exists and many people would love it. So, face the reality.

Lose weight the natural and healthy way, is the change of the way we use to eat and the kind of food we used to eat. Losing weight weight in natural and healthy way means eat the right food, have the right diet and exercising.  That is the only way to maintain your body shape and keeping the weight off. Yes, take lesser calories but must make sure the food able to send the signal to the brain to decrease the hunger. Here are the 6 Tips To Maintain Your Weight & Keep It Off.

Do you make these mistakes?
