4 Habits of Highly Successful Dieters Revealed

By Caroline Monroe


The more you eat and the less that you exert the more weight you will gain. This seems to be a realistic and easy-to-understand formula for most to grasp. However, knowing that the calories in verses the calories out formula is a tough thing for most people to stick to. If you want to lose weight, and you understand the basics, then what seems to be the issue?

Commitment to yourself and your weight loss goals is important in order to lose weight. You have to be able to avoid junk foods and other temptations that will derail you from your goals. Making weight loss a habit, and not a choice is what sets successful dieters apart from the rest of us. Following the next 4 tips will help set you apart in your ability to lose weight in 2 weeks.

"Lose 10 pounds in 2 weeks" is a specific goal. "Lose weight" is not. You must be able to be specific in your weight loss goals in order to achieve them. To make them come to reality, you have to be precise and accurate. If you do, you will be amazed at what happens to you and your figure. When you set specific goals, you mind and attitude will change and adapt in order to realize your goal. You will bridge the gap between where you are, and where you want to be.

Sticking to a predetermined meal plan will increase your chances at successful weight loss almost 2 to 3 times based on a recent study. Knowing exactly what to eat and sticking to that plan is a key to weight loss. Instead of going home and looking in the refrigerator for the frozen pizza when you are already hungry, stick to the meal plan. Have a salad and help yourself out.

Staying positive is important. Losing weight fast is not the most easy thing to do so it is important to have a healthy, positive outlook. Be aware though, that being positive and being nieve are closely related and don't think that losing weight will come easy to you. Thinking it will be easy will lower your ability to stay motivated. Stay optimistic, work hard and shoot high in your goals and they will come true.

Flex your self control muscle next time you are eating lunch out. Instead of eating the side of chips at your favorite sandwich shop, order an apple instead. Flexing your self control muscle is a learned thing and full self control doesn't happen overnight. Go slowly and take baby steps and lean how to work out your self-control muscles. Losing weight is just as much in your head as it is in your belly.

You will have success is you follow these tips. Losing weight is no easy task and not as simple as a formula. Although reducing calories and increasing exercise plays a major role in proper weight loss, the motivation, goal setting and practiced techniques discussed above are what set successful dieters apart from the yo-yo dieters. Keep positive, keep motivated and remain focused on why you are losing weight and you will succeed.
