Thinking of starting a weight-loss journey?
by Alexander Stark


As we approach the fall and winter holidays we begin to look forward to family gatherings and seasonal foods. I know that I personally love a good Thanksgiving dinner and pumpkin pie at least once a month during the season. Because of autumn being surrounded by food it can be a time where we think about our weight and loosening our belts to make room for an extra serving of mashed potatoes. This can also make it very difficult to think about starting a weight management program because of the common advertisement that you must give up all the foods you love to have success.

But what is the point of changing your diet if it will make you miserable, why you are on it? The important thing to know that it is possible to have a successful weight loss program without having to give up any foods that you love. It can be hard to make changes to your diet when you are told to give up foods that you love and look forward too, and it is not realistic to ask you to permanently give up some of the most delicious things there are.

There are plenty of techniques that recommend small changes that can have significant effects without the need to remove any of the things you currently enjoy. The nice thing about the weight management programs I am referring to is that the techniques can be stacked to make the transition as easy and effortless as possible. Another nice thing is that you can change it to fit your personal needs and that it can be used or ignored on days such as thanksgiving without cheating or having any guilt.

Working on your weight-loss journey?
Ready to take some bigger steps in achieving your weight-loss goals? Following these tips and techniques and take control of what you eat.

A successful weight-loss program is one that works for you and does not make you upset for being on it. You should be able to move at a pace that is comfortable for you and when done correctly you should not feel hungry all the time because the changes will be subtle at first. Now I am not promising changes to occur overnight or even over a month, but I will say that these changes should be easier to maintain which will help set you up for long term success.

Another important thing is that you should only make changes that you are comfortable with, you can have just as much success if not more if you believe in what you are doing so you should take steps when you are ready. If you are thinking about changing your diet to reduce your weight then I have tips and suggestions available in other articles, but the important thing is that you decide when you are ready it is your body and it is your decision on what you want to do.


Exercise tip
While not very productive for losing weight, exercising regularly can help you to live a longer and healthier life. You do not have to start big or go to the gym, try taking the stairs instead of the elevator or parking further from the entrance to the store.
