Weight loss secrets accompany all diet regimes.  I believe the best guideline is following what makes the most sense to you, the individual. If you read our articles regularly, you will realize Ayurveda and regular eating patterns both contribute common sense to your weight management programs.    If you are tackling a major weight reduction, then it requires a substantial adjustment to your thinking and eating patterns; this is a challenge.  However, it is a more common for people wanting to maintain a weight, which requires minor weight modifications. We need to remember, though that as we grow older, our weight changes.

Weight Watchers, one of the leading weight organizations, lists several weight loss secrets, and some “rules.”  Some may seem logical but a gentle reminder always helps.  

• ·         Salt and carbohydrate intake can affect the body’s water retention.
• ·         A large meal adds weight and can cause water retention.
• ·         Dehydration from exercise, illness, or low fluid intake can result in weight loss.
• ·         Muscle is a factor.  Heavy-duty resistance training can build muscle, which affects weight.
• ·         The menstrual cycle causes temporary weight gains and losses.
  

When your focus turns to your weight, the first reaction is to weight yourself daily.  This is fine, even fun. However since we fluctuate, only record your weight once a week. The five rules or weight loss secrets are:

1.     Once a week, on the same day of the week

2.     At the same time of day

3.     In the same place

4.     Wearing the same clothes

Whether you are using products such as Nu-Fit or Medi-Fast, these guidelines apply. For more information, contact us.
