The #1 secret to keeping off weight
You have tried everything from very common to very strange and sometimes downright crazy. Restricted foods, unbalanced diets, drugs, supplements, surgery, strenuous exercise are just a few to mention. But no matter what you do, your excess weight keeps coming back.
Everyone knows what to do but nobody really knows! Everyone has heard how to keep weight off. "Eat sensibly and exercise". But, few people manage to do it.
The #1 secret to keeping off weight is maintaining an 'Energy Balance'. Your energy balance is simply the balance between how many calories your body absorbs and burns. Absorb more calories than you burn, and you gain weight.
No matter what you eat or how much you eat, and no matter how active or inactive you are, your inability to properly modify your energy balance is the primary reason you can't keep the weight off!
So, how do you go about properly modifying your energy balance? By feel? No way! If that was possible, you would never have the weight problem in the first place!
Eating perfectly isn't the answer either. It's impossible for most people to eat perfectly most of the time. Even those people who manage to keep their weight off don't always eat perfectly. But nevertheless, somehow they still manage to keep their weight off.
Just exercising more isn't the answer either. Think about this. The more you exercise, the hungrier you get. And the hungrier you get, the more you eat! How do you manage weight then?
What's actually needed in order to keep a perfect Energy Balance is to have the right combination of food and exercise all the time, not only for a couple of weeks. Only then, will you be able to keep off weight permanently!
Eat every kind of food, but in smaller amounts, don't forget about fruits and vegetables, exercise daily, avoid stress, get enough sleep and listen to your body. If you learn to listen what your body really needs and why, you will start feeling better, have more energy and easily lose some extra pounds.
