Mindset and Weight Loss

This is a little different to how I normally write my blogs but I wanted you to read this and see if it can help you.

For years, I have had a personal trainer and I practice yoga. I consider that I am pretty fit and if I put on weight (like when I holiday in the US for Christmas with the family) I seem to be able to get it off again. It appears to my friends that it is very easy for me – so lately some of the ladies at yoga are asking me how I do it.

It is really no big secret – I change my mindset and watch what I eat very carefully. I just make sure that I have my two to three pieces of fruit a day and at least five vegetables. I know and believe that I will lose any extra pounds I have put on.

I avoid most carbohydrates like rice and pasta and allow myself no more than four pieces of wholegrain bread a week. I eat lots of chicken (no skin), turkey steaks and fish and if I don’t have vegetables I always make a large salad. I have one piece of red meat per week during this stage. I still do my training as well and if you do not train I suggest you can try something as easy as walking.

My snacks are usually a piece of my fruit allowance. I drink lots of water and I can honestly say that I never feel hungry. The reason is I have adopted the mindset of losing weight slowly but surely and this is exactly how it happens. It is what you believe that will change your outlook. If you believe that you can – you are going to achieve your weight loss results. Unfortunately, it also works if you believe that it is all too hard for you, you will not lose the weight.

The way you think and a sensible eating plan will definitely let you reach your desired weight. So get the mind in the right place and you will definitely get your desired weight.
