How much is too much when cheating on your diet?

Chazz Weaver Health and Fitness Consultant, and Founder ChazzLive.com

So, you want to cheat on your diet. If I had a nickel for every time I have been asked, “How do you get Abs like yours?” while eating a Double-Double burger, fries, and a vanilla shake, I’d have long settled into the most luxurious villa on Easy Street. The questions people ask about cheat meals are often fraught with confusion, and sometimes desperation.

Master your mindset for weight loss results that last a lifetime

Michelle Hastie Mindset Mentor and Results Coach Total Body Health Solutions

Mindset to many people means how much they are willing to push through or have willpower. This is not mastering your mindset so much as it is mastering your will. This comes in handy if you are competing or on a reality show trying to win a million dollars by standing on one foot the longest. This is not real life, unless you plan to be in competition mode forever. To master your mindset for weight loss you must have mastery over your thoughts, beliefs patterns and your feelings.

Help your partner lose weight without harming your relationship

Many couples have difficulty negotiating eating and weight issues. For example, maybe you’re fit as a fiddle and wish your couch-potato hubby would join you in a run once in awhile. Or you’re working on eating more nutritiously while your partner continues to snack on high-fat, high-sugar foods even though the doctor has cautioned that she’s borderline diabetic. These situations can produce feelings of distress, frustration and helplessness, generating the exact wrong attitudes and behaviors needed to encourage and support change.

Parties, picnics, donuts at the office, super-large portions at restaurants, fast food, all-you-can-eat buffets - it’s easy to overeat almost anywhere you go! There’s no refuge at home either. Refrigerators and pantries hold all that tempting comfort food that we turn to when we feel stressed out, overworked, or overwhelmed. Given the popular pastimes of overeating and emotional eating, it’s little wonder that so many adults and children are overweight.

For most people dieting is a daunting task, a constant struggle of counting calories, extreme workouts and neglecting foods held dear. We try quick-fix gimmicks to lose pounds in a hurry.

How to lose weight with long-term healthy eating habits

“To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did.” ~Unknown

Hard Truth: The more we focus on losing weight, the more we gain. Dieters regain at an average rate of 95%. Today, there are more diets, quick fixes, pills, and an overload of information than ever before—yet we also weigh more and have more health problems than ever. Losing weight and making healthy choices are about becoming very aware of what your body needs and making a commitment to make these healthy choices into healthy habits. Unfortunately, nothing can happen without a little effort.
