Like a slap on the face, the idea strikes you you need to lose 10 pounds. Perhaps Grandmas comfort food has left you bulging around the waist, or watching too much television hasnt given you enough time to exercise. You decide to lose weight, now.
Heres the sad truth about losing weight: you cant shed the pounds as easily as you gained them. For one thing, drastic diets can force you to give up meat, chocolate and other favorite foods. Or, the diets want you to jog, not drive, to every destination even if you need to go 59 miles.
You dont have to take these extreme measures unless you want to lose 10 pounds in a few days. In a few cases, quick weight-loss may work, yet most people need more time to reach their weight loss goal. In this approach, you add healthy habits into your life so you transition smoothly into weight-loss mode. In fact, you dont even notice the diet and exercise changes since they blend in with your life.
While you still need to put effort into losing weight, with this technique, losing 10 pounds doesnt take over your life. You might find that the slower method not only helps you to lose 10 pounds, but also keeps the pounds off forever....
