Between The Ears
Overweight Larry needed to break this cycle of learned helplessness. Start your diet, not with your waistline, but between the ears. Change the way you think about food. This may call for some harsh honesty; however without it your diet is doomed right from the beginning.
In Larry’s case, keeping track of everything he ate and drank for a week was a real eye-opening experience. True, he usually ate lightly at mealtimes and that was good. However, in the evening excessive snacking undid what was accomplished by self-control during the day. After adding up the calories of cookies, nuts, peanut butter, and cheese after supper, Larry was astonished. The total calories consumed while just snacking a little here and there were huge and significant. In addition worse than that, those snacks were loaded with substantial fat, salt and sugar. For Larry no diet was possible until the evening snacks were eliminated. Sound familiar?
The next painful realization for him was that he would not lose weight and keep it off unless he eliminated all alcoholic beverages from his diet. You see alcohol is high in calories and easily turned to fat. The larger issue was glasses of wine in the evening weaken his self-control and resolve not to snack. Therefore a glass of wine is not just a glass of wine. It can also be eight cookies, chips and a bowl of nuts. Larry then discovered that herbal teas are excellent substitutes. Now, even after reaching his target weight, he drinks less alcohol than before.
Well Larry had to face it, being overweight was his serious problem. Everybody should treat their overweight as a serious problem. People are dying of heart attacks every day due to being overweight. Statistics could be cited about the dangers of each extra pound, but the problem is not statistics. The problem is widows and orphans. The problem is children growing up without their daddy and a wife without her husband. Think about it.
Once Larry had made up his mind – between his ear’s- to lose weight he employed these listed ways to win the battle of the bulge. Honest evaluations convinced him of the value of firm guidelines during his weight-loss period of his diet.
(1) The right food,
(2) At the right time,
(3) In the right amount,
(4) With the right exercise.
(5) Avoid all snacks in the evening.
(6) Avoid all alcoholic beverages.
Perhaps you know someone like Larry, physically active in youth but now given to irregular exercise. Blood pressure on the rise, borderline high, serum cholesterol on the rise, 40 pounds overweight and still believing that the overweight problem is not that serious.
Acai is the best healthy weight loss answer for all persons male or female.
