HEALTHY WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM

   What are the essential elements of a healthy
weight loss program?  And how can you know when
you've found a healthy weight loss program that's
going to work for permanent weight loss?

   There are lots of different ideas out there
for losing weight, but if you're looking for
weight loss results that are going to last, then
you should ditch the diet pills and the starvation
diets and find a healthy weight loss program that
walks you through the process step-by-step.

   Here are the key steps to a healthy weight loss
program:

Healthy Weight Loss Program Key #1:  A Balanced
Eating Plan With Natural Food

   There are a lot of foods out there with "diet"
and "lite" in their name, but are these foods
really good for you?

   Think about it... what has your body evolved
to survive on for thousands of years?

   Natural food, right?  Food from nature.

   So if the food you are eating is made up of
mostly chemicals and preservatives and artificial
flavorings, do you think your body is going to
know what to do with that?

   Regardless if the food claims to be "diet" or
"lite" or "healthy", if the ingredients are made
up of chemicals, then it is a processed food and
your body will not be able to use this food for
nutrition.

   That's why every one who's ever gone on a diet
and only eaten that chemical-filled "diet food"
never succeeded at losing weight.

   Your body needs nutrition.

   Your body needs natural food.  Food from nature.

   If the diet program is telling you to eat this
processed food, regardless of how many calories
it has, it is NOT a healthy weight loss program.

   They're just trying to fool you into believing
that it is and buying their special "diet food".

Healthy Weight Loss Program Key #2:  Natural Ways
To Speed Up Your Metabolism

   How many pills and potions are there today that
claim they will speed up your metabolism and make
you lose weight?  Thousands.  Millions... too many
to count.

   But if these pills and potions really worked,
then why is the obesity epidemic increasing
every year?

   The only way to speed up your metabolism is to
do it naturally with the right food, eating habits
and exercise.

   By eating natural foods, like I suggested in
the first step to a healthy weight loss program,
and by learning how often to eat these foods (every
2-3 hours or 6 meals a day) you will notice your
energy levels skyrocketing.

   This is a sign that your metabolism is speeding
up.

   Also part of a healthy weight loss program is
doing some form of consistent physical activity.

   By being physically active, your body will
burn through calories much faster than if you live
a sedentary life.  This is also a natural way to
speed up your metabolism.

   So forget the pills and potions that never work!

   Follow the healthy weight loss program that
teaches you how to speed up your metabolism
naturally.

Healthy Weight Loss Program Key #3:  Using Weights
Or Body Resistance Exercises To Build Muscle

   Muscle cells are hungry cells.  They burn through
lots of calories all day long just to stay alive.

   So the key to a healthy weight loss program that
works for permanent weight loss is getting more
muscle.
 
   The more muscle cells you have, the faster
your metabolism will burn through calories and
the better your body will look.

   A lot of women still believe the old-fashioned
view that women should not lift weights or do
strength training exercises because it makes them
"bulky".  But this is wrong.

   The more muscle you have, the tighter and leaner
your body is all over because muscle cells take
up less space than fat cells.

   So if you want that tight, sculpted look then
you should definitely look for a healthy weight
loss program that incorporates some form of muscle
training.

   And you don't have to just lift weights in
order to build muscle, you can also use your body's
own weight as resistance.  Yoga and pilates are
two exercise systems that are great for this.

   So make strength and resistance training part
of your healthy weight loss program.

Healthy Weight Loss Program Step #4:  Throw Away
The Scale And Measure Accurate Results

   So the last step to a healthy weight loss
program was build muscle.  And because muscle
weighs more than fat, as you are building muscle
you are going to gain weight... but you are going
to look and feel better!

   If you are tracking your weight loss success
on how much the scale says you weigh, then you are
going to be deceived.

   The scale is not an accurate way to measure
your weight loss results and it is definitely not
part of an effective and permanent healthy weight
loss program.

   I know too many women (myself included) that
started following a healthy weight loss program
and feeling good about the progress, but as soon
as I jumped on the scale and saw that it hadn't
moved... or god forbid had gone up!...

   I would give up on following a healthy weight
loss program and say, "It's too hard! And it
doesn't work anyway!"

   Little did I know that it wasn't the healthy
weight loss program that wasn't working, it was
the way I was measuring my success.

   See, your weight is going to go up and down
every day.  And if you live and die by what that
scale says, then you are going to lose your
motivation to stick to your healthy weight loss
program even if it's working.

   The most accurate way to judge your progress
is to focus on your INSIDE universe.

   How do you feel?

   How are your energy levels?

   Are your thoughts clear and focused?

   Are you inspired to make healthy choices?

   These are the ways you should judge your
progress and see if your healthy weight loss
program is actually working.

   And if you absolutely must measure something,
get out a tape measurer or notice how your
clothes are starting to fit looser.

   But don't look at the scale.  It will fool
you every time.

   These are only a few components to a healthy
weight loss program.
