In the multi-billion dollar industry, marketers would have you believe that simple 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 one, 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 cannot do those two things. That is the simplicity of weight loss. Most people keep looking for the right pill, guru, plan, or 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? Try this hack: eliminate just ONE thing from your daily meals. Just one single bite reduced per meal will equal 75-100 calories 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, that build upon each other will allow you to eat all of your favorite foods (in appropriate portions). These are just a couple of simple weight loss hacks that can help you start to get your weight under control. If you are severely obese - you will need to address the reasons why you are eating hundreds of extra calories each day; if you don't, your success at cutting out a few bites each day may be short-lived. I speak from experience. Too many times I made small, successful changes, only to find my weight loss was side-tracked by the emotional eating issues that caused me to gain weight in the first place.
Start small and know that you can do this...one bite, one step and one pound at a time.
Good luck!
