I keep watching Biggest Loser and get warped into their way of thinking that change has to happen before your eyes and right away. Fortunately none of us are on a TV show to have to lose it right away or get set home instead.

Two days ago I wrote about what we need to eat, yesterday was what to avoid but really as far as eating goes I would never want to choose to live with eating only fruit and veggies and meat. Really we have to figure out how to eat other stuff but not always and in a metered way. That is why I wanted to talk about sacrifice and suffering. But first lets hit on starvation.

Starvation is Not Dieting

I don’t think that any of us want to starve and if you are eating a few times a day, eating small meals that are full of nutrients then we will not starve. Years ago when I was struggling with money my wife asked me what was the worst thing that I was worried about. I told her it was food. I have a very close relationship with food, probably all of us do and she promised that we would not starve, sacrifice anything but food and shelter and everything will work out.

Anyway we have no reason to starve and that is where the suffering and sacrifice come from. If I tell you that you are not allowed to ever have a chocolate chip cookie ever again then you will think of nothing but chocolate chip cookies. So this is not a this or that or a never eat kind of concept but I really do feel that if you want something, be it a cookie or ice cream then you should be able to have a little bit and not have to live in guilt. But on the other hand, I never see a reason to eat a whole tub of ice cream either, there is just no point in that.

How to Eat, Think  and not Suffer

Ice cream is not food

What I am really saying that if all our gains or losses are in eating (not true exercise has a lot to do with it as well) then you want to fuel your body with water rich foods. After that make sure that you do that subtle mind change. Food is fuel and candy is just the junk that tastes good. Cheat with just small amounts of food so that you do not crave badly and overdo things. Remember you goal is to eat very healthy and the crappy food you eat, while not good, will not help you in any way.

Tomorrow I want to write more about emotional eating. Even though I touched on emotional eating here there is a lot more to talk about with that.

I debated what I would call this challenge.  I went back and forth on using the word “hunger” because it’s loaded. Because people in the world are actually hungry and do not have the luxury of eating when they’re not. There are also people in the world who deny themselves food when they are hungry. I first called it the “feeling it challenge” and then the “wait for it challenge”. And then a million other combinations of words that just didn’t feel right. So in advance, this challenge means exactly what it says: waiting for hunger to eat.

In the past week I’ve been challenging myself to 1) wait for hunger to eat 2) stop at the first signs of full 3) feel the feelings of wanting to eat outside of hunger 4) sit down and eat without watching tv or being in front of the computer 5) find something else to fill the need 6) eliminate guilt from eating. I’m realizing that when I wait for hunger, it takes less food to make me full. When I eat from habit or emotion, I will never, ever be full. This is profound for me. It is profound because I know how much food I need in a day. When I eliminate guilt, the power is gone.

In the past two times I’ve gone out to eat, I’ve slowed down. To drink water, to have conversation, to look around. I’m not stuffing food in my face. I’m making different decisions. When I’m at home, a different challenge arises, having food around all the time. So I make myself think harder. To write down what I’m feeling and to do something else. Anything that will make me happier than overeating. This challenge is not about guilt, deprivation or starvation. It’s about eating, stress free, and then stopping. It’s about moving on.

Yesterday I was more productive and happy  than I’ve been in a long time. I created a task jar where I write down all of the tasks I want to get done on post-it notes. I fold them up and drop them in the jar. I shake it a little and pick one at random. I do that task and nothing else. I was focused. And it worked for me. I completed 14 tasks. I was only tempted to overeat once (yogurt with dark chocolate peanut butter). I got stuff done that I’ve been sitting on for weeks. Stuff I was waiting for the “perfect situation” to complete.

I bring this up because I found something that worked for me. I’ve been making to-do lists and detailed plans using other peoples methods for as long as I can remember. I just don’t work that way. I get overwhelmed, I find excuses and then I just drop it all. I become paralyzed by methods that do not work for me. And the same goes for eating. All I need to change my life if is to wait for hunger. I know how to eat. I know how much my body needs to lose weight. I trust that in myself. When I count calories or eliminate food, it’s because I don’t trust myself. And I end up eating without hunger. Programs, for me, cover the problem. They put power in food, rather than me. I know it works for people. But, as I sit here, still in need of losing 150 + pounds, I need a new way. My way.

So if you feel like you might benefit from this challenge, I encourage you to leave a comment. For the next week I’m making a promise to myself that I will not eat when I’m not genuinely hungry. If I want to eat, I will write instead. I will sew a skirt. I will blog about something fun. I will decorate my house. I will hug my husband. I will do something, anything, that fills me up without food. This isn’t about counting calories, or feeling guilty over any food decision I make. This isn’t about nutrition, or avoiding food groups. It’s simple: only eat when you’re hungry without distractionsand stop eating when you’re full. If you’re in, I will support you in anyway I can. I will correspond in the comments. I will visit your blog. We can do this!

What Weight Loss System Works? The weight loss industry is highly profitable, as there are always people looking for ways to lose weight. It seems that for as many people looking, there are as many different weight loss plans out there. So how can you avoid falling into the trap of spending more money and time on so called solutions that do not work for you?

In this article we look at two ways to lose weight that you should avoid if you possibly can.

Stomach staple or gastric band as a Weight Loss System

Weight Loss System

The first weight loss system to discuss is surgery. In other words a surgical operation to make your stomach smaller. A few years ago this would just be reserved for people with critical medical conditions, but nowadays it seems to have moved into the cosmetic surgery bracket.

This means that instead of doing any work to get rid of the fat, you reduce your body’s ability to absorb foods. If it sounds extreme when put like that, it’s because it *is* extreme! It can seem tempting because you do not need to put in any effort. But nobody should have this done unless their weight is such that no normal methods will ever get rid of.

Apart from the dangers involved in having any surgical procedure, this type of operation can have unwanted side effects either immediately or later. It is much like going bankrupt to clear your debts – only to be done if there is really no other solution. Talk to your general health practitioner and unless your doctor recommends it for your particular situation, try other methods first.

Weight Loss System with a crash diet

The second weight loss system to discuss is a starvation crash diet. You can pretty much put most fad diets in the crash category. The main element of these diets is that you lose weight very quickly, but the problem is that the initial weight loss is water loss, and mostly brought about by simply not eating enough calories.

That makes this type of diet unsustainable in the long run. The ‘quick fix’ element comes back to bite, because the weight will simply go right back on when you stop the diet, which you will probably do very quickly because these diets are so hard to keep to. In fact, many people find that in the reaction phase after the end of a crash diet, they actually put on all the weight that they lost and even more. So crash diets can make you fatter.

Weight Loss System with Sensible Diet and Exercise

The last weight loss system to discuss is real diet and exercise. The key is that it not only loses weight, it changes body shape, which is actually what most people want when they seeks ways to lose weight. If you eat a more balanced diet, avoid excess refined sugar and fats, reduce your calorie intake a little and exercise a little more, your shape will be better and so will your weight.

To get diet and exercise right all you need to do is eat well with a caloric deficit. This means that you eat less food than you burn. Exercise will help you feel better and be more healthy and of course those calories that you burn will allow you to eat more food. This blog is full of ideas on how to eat better and exercise better.

So as you can see, there are many ways to lose weight, but be sure to choose the one weight loss system that will help you lose weight and feel better while making you healthier than you are today.

Do you know why those “low calorie”, “low carb”, “low fat, etc. diets are ineffective? Well, they do not work because your body will not respond to them! For example, when you lower your calories too low, you will slow down your metabolism. Guess what? A slow metabolism means your body is storing the calories you consume as body fat!

An effective diet plan to get efficient and quick fat loss must be based around proper nutrition and also increasing your metabolism. The easiest and most effective diet plan that will do both is the calorie shifting system from fat loss 4 idiots.

Why is the diet so effective? Well, you will firstly be consuming the amount of calories your body needs to burn fat. . . which means no starvation, and secondly, you will be taught a dieting trick to boost your metabolism by flipping the calories that you eat everyday. With you having an elevated metabolism, plus consuming the calories needed for fat loss, you will drop pounds and melt away fat faster than you can blink!

The human body is able to resist hunger and starvation by holding on to fat. This is the reason why it’s too difficult to lose the extra pounds no matter how hard you try. Nutrition specialist Wendy Chant has developed a lifestyle plan to Crack the Fat-Loss Code. The book was written to help you outsmart the natural cycles of the body when it comes to storing calories and burning fat. Crack the Fat-Loss Code sets itself apart from other weight loss program by focusing on speeding up your metabolism – this is done through “macro-patterning”. While the process sounds intimidating, what it actually does is to set up a routine in which you need to alternate your carbohydrate intake -carb-up, carb-down – to trick the body into believing that it doesn’t need to be so dependent on fat to resist starvation.
Crack the fat loss Code allows you to reprogram your body so that it will burn the fat and keep it at bay. Reprogramming involves changing your eating habits. But before you begin the program, you will appreciate the fact that the book will help you get a clear understanding of how your body works and how it responds to certain changes, specifically in the intake of certain kinds of food. With a better understanding, you will learn to appreciate the program because you see science at work and your body is the beneficiary. The first few chapters of the book will help you understand what carbohydrates, proteins, and fat are, and how the body is using them. This will give you the right mindset when starting the program. The effects of Crack the fat loss Code program can be seen in as early as eight weeks. It also has sample meal plans that will guide you on what types of food to eat and what food to avoid. This is not to say that you will not be able to enjoy your favorite food. You still can eat what you like once your body has been reprogrammed.
While the main goal is to lose the excess fat, the program also will help you realize that the food you are used to eating is the wrong type of food. This has a positive impact in your eating habits and you will develop the discipline to eat healthy food without craving for trashy food. One interesting explanation in the book is that most of us don’t wait for our blood sugar to level before pumping our body with sugar and carbohydrates. This is logical and yet we are al guilty of the deed. The book also tells about the danger of not eating or skipping meals only to give in to hunger pangs in the next days and be at the risk of overeating.
Crack the fat loss Code lets you have a better understanding of how the body stores and uses fuel. Knowing the process will help you outsmart your body. This can be the start of your journey to a healthier and leaner body.
