Weight Loss - Beyond Diet and Exercise



Diet and exercise are the first things that usually come to mind when people think of losing weight. However, a couple of other factors are fundamental and lay the grounds for weight loss success. Wondering what it takes to see success with your weight loss diet? There are steps all successful dieters take into account; steps to ensure they come out on top. Curious what these happen to be?

Let's walk you through the five issues every successful dieter works with to see long-term results...

1. They Are Dieting For The Right Reasons. First things first, they're dieting for the right reasons. And by "right reasons", I do not mean to fit into their "skinny jeans" to impress someone at the office.


They are dieting because they want to feel better about themselves or improve their health in some way. Their reason is internal in nature - and it drives every food decision they make.

2. They Track Their Food Intake. Next, those who are successful have found some way to monitor their food intake. Perhaps it's through calorie counting; others may find monitoring serving sizes a better approach.

Whatever the case, they are not blindly eating their food. They are aware of how much they are consuming so they can be sure they are eating in agreement with the amount needed to burn fat.

3. They Experiment With New Recipes. Next up? They experiment. They know over the long run, if they eat the same food too many times in a row, it will lead to them eating something they shouldn't. As such, they are sure to try a new recipe regularly - if only once per week to mix it up a little.

4. They Allow Occasional Indulgences. Successful dieters also allow for the occasional indulgence. They don't restrict themselves 100% of the time, but instead, follow the 90/10% rule. Ninety percent of the time they are on, 10% of the time they are having a little food fun.


They don't feel guilt about this either. They welcome those fun days into their program.

5. They Allow Some Wiggle Room in Their Diet Plan. Finally, the last step that successful dieters follow is building some wiggle room into their diet. They know life can get busy and when it does, they may not be able to stay the course as planned.

As such, they have some leeway room to add a few hundred calories here and subtract from there as need be. It makes the entire diet process much less stressful.

So have a look at your approach. Do you need to make any changes?


Although managing your disease can be very challenging, Type 2 diabetes is not a condition you must just live with. You can make simple changes to your daily routine and lower both your weight and your blood sugar levels. Hang in there, the longer you do it, the easier it gets.
