When I was a Teenager and a young adult, I was playing Basketball and Football on a semi-professional level. Therefore, although both my parents are overweight, I never had to look for a good diet for teens, or celebrity diets to follow, because training and a lot of physical activity took care of that for me. And I was laughing at other peoples “Weight loss Success Stories" and I never asked myself, what a good diet is. But once I stopped, the slow process of losing shape started.
I honestly cannot remember, when I was called overweight (or fat) for the first time or when I got the first weight loss tips, but I certainly reached my climax, when my bathroom scale showed 107 kilograms at a height of 180 cm. This was the moment, where I realised; I have to do something, to lose weight and what I wanted most, was a quick weight loss.
As almost everybody, my first approach to quick weight loss was, to try to find a diet, which suits me. Unfortunately I never asked, what a good diet is, I just tried what sounded and looked nice. Atkins, Lemon Juice, Grapefruit diet, Eggs, Celebrity Diets – you name it, I tried it. All of them showed at the beginning some success, I lost weight, but very soon I just lost my willpower and I was back on normal eating and logically back on my old weight. Up and down that was my weight over the next 2 years.
Angry and disappointed, I now started to read the “weight loss success stories" of other people and I got interested in books like “You on a diet" or “Weight loss for Dummies". And the more I informed myself, the more I realised, there is not really a diet for me, which suits all my needs and tastes. But more and more I saw stories and articles about diet pills, especially about Hoodia Gordonii.
Although the stories about Hoodia Gordonii sounded quite logical, I was sceptical. However, I decided to give it a shot and I ordered 1 month supply of Hoodia. 1 month was, in my opinion, a fair amount of time and I was determined to stay on it for the whole month, no matter what.
My first supply of Hoodia Gordonii arrived in April 2005 and I never looked back since. My weight dropped 25 kg within 6 month and I still was eating everything I liked, just less. After this drop, I stopped Hoodia completely, but realised that I was soon back to gaining weight, because I had to face the truth: my self-discipline was not what it should be. But it was no problem, because as soon as I started with Hoodia again, I ate less and my weight dropped.
Nowadays I am at a constant weight, between 80 and 83 kg. I am eating everything I like, just smaller amounts, because I am not so hungry anymore. My metabolism is excellent and I generally feel healthy. So if one asks me, what is a good diet, or if someone wants weight loss tips, my only answer is: Hoodia Gordonii!
I found the right solution to lose and control my weight and so I do not need to read them anymore, I can write my personal “weight loss success stories"!
There are so many fad weight programs advertised in every sort of media there is. One would think that out of all there programs and diets there would be one that works for sure. But there is a program that pretty much works every time it is tried and it is not a diet nor is it a diet pill. It is the program of exercise and good nutrition. It works just about every time it's tried. What is the program used by the military in every country around the world? It is the exercise and good nutrition program. From the first day a person joins the military, they are led in exercises and long runs daily. This is because it is very important for the military to stay in top shape. Don't you think if there was a fad diet that worked quickly the military would use it? But there is none other than the exercise and good nutrition program.
The secrets to weight loss success are not really secrets at all but it seems that way because they are drowned out by all of the fad diet hype. The first secret to weight loss success is to stop dieting and get active. You have to burn off more calories than you take in each day so that you can lose weight. You can do things like bicycle, run, walk, run up stairs, chop wood, and do intense yard work. You say you don't have time? Then fit these activities within your daily routine. If you can walk or bike to work then do so and leave your car at home. Your body will benefit from it and your wallet will too in terms of gasoline savings. Take a walk at lunchtime when at work instead of going to some fast food restaurant. You will have more energy in the afternoon.
The next secret is to eat right. This means cutting down on the sugary snacks and reducing your portions at meals. It also means eating a balanced diet covering the food groups necessary to sustain your body. Starvation is not the answer as the weight you lose will only be water weight and as soon as you start eating again you will gain it all back. Go to a military dining facility and see the vast choices of food they have in there yet the service men and women are all fit and trim. That is because they eat right and exercise. It should be no big secret but unfortunately it is.
The most important meal of the day is breakfast and you should make sure you eat a good one. If there is any meal you should never miss it is breakfast. Breakfast restores nutrition in the body after it has fasted all night. It is food for the brain and it is a well-known fact that students perform much better when they have had the proper breakfast.
And finally, keep your eating patterns regular. If you wait several hours between meals then you will be much hungrier when you finally do sit down to the meal. In this condition, we tend to eat more. It is better to eat smaller meals with some healthy snacks in between. This will maintain a more stable metabolism within your body and reduce the likelihood that you will overeat at any one meal.
