Whatever Weight You Are

Whatever weight you are, it takes a specific number of calories to stay there. So, right now, prepare to write down one of the most forceful yet simplistic weight loss tips you can easily and almost instantly benefit from... it's as simple as your ABCs:

A. Gain a calorie, gain some weight;

B. Lose a calorie, lose some weight;

C. Keep your calories, keep your weight.


And, on Part C, you can also look at it in this way...

C. Maintain your calories, maintain your weight.

Or...

C. Keep your calories the same; keep your weight the same.


Perhaps you don't need a reminder about what a calorie actually represents. Yet, a surprisingly high number of individuals who really and truly WANT to lose weight... still fail to face the fact that the physical part of weight loss is nearly ALWAYS ABOUT CALORIES. (For example, ninety-one percent of the weight loss keyword search results gathered for http://www.Better-Body.Biz come from visitors whom, after being surveyed, indicate a general lack of caloric energy balance knowledge.)

Sure, you can continue to settle for weight loss achievement that is far less than what you truly desire. And certainly, you can receive less-than-satisfactory motivation for that weight loss achievement to take place. However, no longer does it need to be difficult for you to understand how calories work.

Every food (except water) gives you calories. And, it remains your decision each day to decide what you wish to DO with the calories you consume.

- Calories are what go into your body, as a necessary fuel source.

- Calories are what come out of your body when you reach a high enough level of daily exercise output.

And, finally, calories are what stay around, in excess, when you do any and/or all of the following:

- Fail to comprehend what calories represent

- Ignore how many calories go into your body on a daily basis

- Overlook the recommended ways to eliminate excess calorie intake

- Remain still -- sitting, standing, or moving too slowly to activate threshold fat-burning metabolic rates.


Therefore, at whatever weight you are, make a conscious decision to apply at least one of the weight loss ABCs shown above.

Of course, for your result to be one of losing weight, you may intentionally choose Part A above, and apply it, as well.

Now, in this reading so far, you may be thinking, "I'm not really seeing anything new here, and what's the point?"

Okay, it's time for a basic weight loss challenge. Are you ready for activation? If so, then answer this question for yourself, "How Many Total Calories Did I Consume Yesterday?"

Take as much time as you need to recall, gather, and document your findings. And, above all... please be as accurate and honest as you can. If you wish, share your results with me, and let's see how we can reshape them for you into a better body.

There's no fee to talk about your fat-loss desires, goals, or plans. So, don't hesitate to get something started.

The Real Body Fat Challenge

What it really comes down to is that minor difference between those who CAN DO, and those who WON’T DO. Thus, your body fat challenge is not really a physical one at all. It’s totally in your mind. Motivationally, you may need a coach... someone who knows via formal education how the body works, and this means not just the mere physical workings of body fat, but also your psychological, emotional, mental, philosophical, and intellectual interweaving, as well.

As with the ladies in our previous story, for example, even the idea of walking for merely 15 minutes poses a serious challenge – how to find the motivation to do it – being the main challenge of all. Of course, it’s much easier just to sit back in that office chair and ignore the happenings of saturated fat and sedentary lifestyle. But you and I both (and those ladies, as well) already know that deep inside, we actually WANT to remove excess body fat. So, our hope for viable or workable solutions and answers continues.

Find A Way To "Get It Done" Even If You Must Trick Yourself Into It...

This is why I ask you again, “Once you really and truly discover exactly what it takes to lose body fat successfully, can you do what it takes, apply the principles, and most importantly, direct your consciousness toward your new body fat goals?”

From now on, begin to concentrate more focally upon the “way” you intend to lose excess body weight.

Simplify, Then Combine Your Complex Concepts...

For example, you can use the Ten-Percent Solution, which goes like this:

Suppose you have 100 pounds you want to lose. Most may unknowingly try to attack the entire 100 all at once. Even though you would be more than happy to lose even half of that amount, there constantly exists that tendency to take on an ill-fated approach. Here, again, you may see that KNOWLEDGE is your best ally.

The “10 percent solution” allows you to easily lose your first 10 pounds. And, this is a short-term goal that is totally reasonable, accurately measurable, and conveniently achievable. Of course, once you've reached this initial goal, you don't have to stop there.

In fact, you find yourself now empowered to REPEAT the almost exact procedure that got you those results in the first place. So, go ahead, lose another ten with focus, ease, and comfort.

Yes, we've intentionally left out all the complicated details on Set-Point Theory, Very-Low-Cal-Diets, and how your Resting Metabolic Rate will rise to the occasion.

Instead, we're giving you highlights about the expectations of your challenge and how to master it successfully and reliably. Plus, your benefits from this approach continue to include reduction in serum cholesterol levels, more normalized blood pressure readings, and less back pain or osteoarthritis.

Yet, in addition to improved body image, perhaps your GREATEST benefit is this following combination:

- Better mood

- Enhanced self-esteem

- Powerful self-efficacy... that is, your belief in your own ability to make change.

Is Motivation Your Missing Weight Loss Ingredient?

Yes, there exists so much talk about motivation. Yet, it remains highly overlooked or seriously underestimated.

Right now, would you like to know what aspect of weight loss troubles people the most? It's attitude... particularly, trying to change something that's been happening to you, or around you, probably for years of your life.

There are triggers that lead to gaining weight. And losing weight requires UNDOING of triggering events. How to you handle that one? First, by sitting down, and simply THINKING.

Reflect on what makes you do the things you do. Look openly for deeply embedded psychological or emotional instances that set you up to follow a path that leads to a bigger body. Then, combine dynamics plus savvy to get powerful weight loss results.

Yes, we are talking about control... but not the type that deals with submission – not the all or nothing, I lose-you-win syndrome. Instead, this is about slowly acquiring a very gentle and patient understanding of yourself.

Exercise and nutrition scientists have already done the “purely physical” homework for you. Yet, they now leave YOU with the part having the heaviest burden... and, that is the DOING. Not to worry, though... you now have your primary “Secret” being revealed. And, as you already know, once the secret gets out, virtually anyone or everybody starts taking advantage of it.

So, at present, what are your physical and psychological responses to weight loss practice and principle? Let's take a walk together and look at these concepts.

Losing weight for good, requires your emotional resolution. And, here's how to understand and direct emotional reactions that control your physical response to losing excess weight, managing your lean-body cycles, PLUS create a lighter leaner body with more greatly improved body fat percentages.

Both personally and professionally, I listen closely to your lose-body-fat questions. Consistently, I witness your constant “how do I lose body fat” queries. And you know, truthfully, it makes me wonder – causing me to pose a question back to you. That is, “If you really know exactly what it took to lose body fat enjoyably and quickly, would you actually be willing to apply yourself, each and every day, to performing the exact steps outlined for you?”

Your Key For How To Lose Body Fat
To help explain why I am asking you this, I can share with you a brief yet honestly applicable body fat story.

On Monday, about two weeks ago, I visited a local office to process some important paperwork. The receptionist that handled my task noticed my occupational description as “Lifestyle & Weight Management Consultant,” and with sincere curiosity plus interest, she began to ask me questions about how to lose body fat.

My time was short, and the office environment was very busy and hectic at that time. Therefore, to get right to the heart of the matter of losing body fat, I cut directly into the three “secrets” that everyone who wants to lose body fat successfully has to know and deal with at some point in time. I told her directly (and, by this time, at least 3 or 4 other ladies were listening attentively, as well... in fact, they all got out their notepads and began to immediately write down my “body fat secrets” response) which is:

1) Know your numbers
2) Eat smartly
3) Apply specific exercises.

In the very next post, you can examine these three weight management tools in detail.

Crucial Weight Loss Elements

There exist crucial weight loss elements, which you simply cannot afford to ignore. I sincerely hope that the words written here and the information you gain from them, prove out as concepts that help you in your quest to lose body fat with more ease and satisfaction.

Further, always remember that expert and caring weight management consultants like me, stand ready and willing to help you lose body fat in every reasonable way. You may feel free to use my contact information found at the top and bottom of this writing.

So, if you truly still do not know how to lose body fat successfully, then consider the key reactions and remedies for weight loss triumph. Get to know your key reactions and remedies on how to lose body fat. What does this mean? The main keys to losing unwanted body weight tend to center around three primary points. You have to know what these points are. Therefore, the phrase "key reactions and remedies" for body fat simply means, “Never Stop Learning” because knowledge is center-part or focal-point of your three-member weight loss team. The other two pieces of the puzzle are skill and motivation.

Go ahead and take notes on almost any weight loss fact you discover, even start as soon as today. And, primarily, notice that these three things listed above are non-material elements that you must understand, practice, and eventually master. In other words, they involve adjusting your way of thinking.

Perhaps you have heard the phrase (and agree with it) that, "Old Habits Die Hard." Or, "Bad Habits Are Hard To Break." Never mind that these sayings have become nothing more than mindless dribble... the important and powerful point contained in them is this...

Let's pretend for a moment, that your task is nothing more than to pick up a piece of paper off the floor in front of you. What do you imagine is the more difficult part - bending down to get it, or "convincing and telling yourself that it must be done."

Now check your answer to this previous question. However you answered... you probably now can see where your weight loss challenge truly lies. Yes, you can easily compare the thought of losing weight, to the idea of simply picking up a piece of paper from the floor in front of you.

In a similar manner, the hard part is not walking, or eating, or even lifting or swinging around a free weight or two... for most, the true task lies in "making yourself do it. This represents your "willpower," and, as said, it lies in the realm of emotional / intellectual/ mental challenge... that is, far above simply physical exertion.

It is now time to look at what shape your body is currently in, and decide on something. Either you like what you see and will keep doing the same thing you are now doing (whatever that may be); or, you can admit to being dissatisfied in some area and accept the challenge for changing it, when this is the case for you. What is your current weight loss condition or status?
