Lose 10 pounds in a week and you'll likely just gain it right back.
Likely you'll gain more than you lost over time.
Slowly the scale moves...
higher and higher...
Here are 5 tips to stop the upward march to higher weight.
1.
Pick a plan.
Diets mostly don't work for real weight loss.
But short term eating plans can help greatly with a long term plan.
If nothing else a quick "weight loss" lets you see something happen.
2.
Write it down.
Commit to what you decide on for a definite period of time.
Make a game of it.
If you deny yourself something, substitute something else you like.
Tell somebody what you're doing.
Be accountable.
3.
Keep moving.
Increased metabolism means more fat burned.
Start some form of activity to get moving.
Anything is a plus.
Stop reading about weight loss and get out and move.
4.
It's the carbs.
Likely the carbs have got you.
It's the sugars and the carbohydrates that balloon most of us and ruin our health.
Look into balanced plans that limit, but not eliminate carbohydrates.
Check out Dr.
Diana Schwarzbein's books.
5.
Fill up.
Make something that's a filler part of the plan.
Soups, for example, fill you up, but don't necessarily contain what makes you fat.
Try homemade soups that contain lots of fillers but very few calories.
You can lose 10 pounds in a week.
Please make that effort part of a long-term plan.
Otherwise all that pain is for nothing.
You'll be worse off the more often you do a short diet.
