Is it Better to keep your Fridge Empty?

Desperate times call for desperate measures. You might begin to believe that the presence of food in your fridge is hindering your efforts to lose weight. If you are one of those people who simply cannot control their appetite when food is available, then you might be well advised to think about the types of food that you keep in your fridge. Even if the temptation is there, you need to be able to limit the impact the food will have on your body. This can ordinarily be achieved by ensuring that only the foods that you have accepted into your regulated diet are kept in the fridge or even the locker.

The way our brain works can be a real handicap when you are trying to manage your food intake. Even if you know that something is not good for you, once it is available, you will somehow find excuses that allow you to consume it, even that consumption might end up putting you in danger as well as shortening your life. It is amazing the amount of excuses we can conjure up if we really want to be able to consume something against the advice of our diet.

However this does not mean that you have to go extreme and ban all foods from your diet. All you are trying to do is have a balanced and reasonable diet. You are not trying to starve yourself to death. In any case, if you tried to pull this stunt all you would get is cravings which lead you to eat even more than you did before. It is better to have a balanced diet rather than striving to achieve the impossible.
Yes there is scope to improve your diet by cleaning out some of the terrible sins that you keep in your fridge. For instance there has to be a really good reason before a weight watcher can justify the presence of lard in their fridge. These are the kinds of food stuffs that really have no place in your life once you start to seriously contemplate managing your weight.

I know some of you might argue that if you completely exclude a lot of the foods that you enjoy from the diet, you end up having a very poor life indeed with limited scope for enjoyment. My response to that is that strict dieting is a gradual process and you can get used to it if you have really made a commitment to make a lifestyle change.

Fat Loss Speed Update on Weight Control

Hi guys. I hope you are o.k. continuing on the theme of losing weight in the modern world: We all know that these days we lead a somewhat sedentary life. Technology has completely transformed the way that we do things. Automatic and work aids are the norm. Only the people who do physical work such as manual laborers experience how it used to be like in the old days of non industrialization. Unfortunately the creature comforts come at a remarkably high price…that of personal health. People are growing fatter and fatter especially in the developed world where hunger is no longer an issue.

For dieters the first inspiration comes from the realization that you are actually overweight. If you look at yourself naked in the mirror, you will be able to see the flab in its full glory. If anything is going to make you try to lose weight, this is it. Most of us have romanticized versions of our bodies within our heads and it must take us to look directly in the mirror to see the work that we need to do to get ourselves back on track. When you look at your profile, you will certainly see the bumps and stretch marks. Some people prefer to go on the scales in the bathroom. This is good once in a while but it can become an obsession where even the gain of a few pounds will cause some kind of emotional breakdown.

Did you know that there are certain sitting positions that encourage laziness and weight gain? If you are sitting in a chair, try to sit upright rather than slouch. This is likely to reduce the incidence of back problems and puts you on alert to get going with your exercise. If you tell your body that you are in the mood and position to put on weight, the body will act accordingly and grant you your wish. However if you tell your body that you are ready for action, it will also try to grant your wish. Remember that once this becomes a routine the body will get used to it and even remind you if you are not performing.

Controlling your weight is a personal responsibility. All that other people can do for you is give you advice and hope that you will be in a position to achieve your objectives. If you are unhappy about the way you look, it is entirely up to you to change the circumstances. Otherwise you may end up losing self esteem.
