To lose weight, the number of calories you eat must be less than the number of calories you burn.

It seems like such a simple equation. Just eat less!

But how are you going to eat less?

Answer: By learning to manage your hunger or completely eliminate it. For most people they are surprised to find out that when they eat correctly, they eat more often and possibly more food than they were eating before. And they eat fewer calories.

Fruits and vegetables, for example, will take up more space in your tummy than a bag of Cheetos and have less calories. Lean meats have less calories than fatty meats. Complex carbs and protein are naturally more filling than sugar. Really, sugar and processed foods are the culprits of a lot of our hunger pangs, and eating them does little to eliminate them.

By eating more often and eating the right things, you can make losing weight an enjoyable experience. No need to starve yourself to accomplish your weight loss goals. Actually, starving yourself maybe more detrimental than anything for long-term weight management. Very Low Calorie Diets (VLCD) are insanity in my book and completely ineffective from a weight loss expert’s point of view.

Using a supplement to help control appetite is highly recommended. A good meal replacement shake with an appetite suppressant will help control hunger and add an additional meal to your meal plan. Fiber is another great way to attack hunger. The average person should get 25-30 grams of fiber a day, yet the average diet gets about half that. Fiber makes your stomach feel full and aids in digestion.

Learn to eat healthy, in the right portions, and your success with long-term weight loss will drastically improve.

It isn’t enough to set goals or tell everyone you have a goal. You actually have to do everything possible to accomplish the goal, and that is going to take commitment. Commitment is a total investment in completing what you set out to accomplish. Your goal weight, inches and fitness level should be prominently displayed on your mirror, so you can read those numbers each morning.

If you really want to make your goals happen, close your eyes for 10-20 seconds and visualize what you will look like when you get there and how you will feel. No kidding. This works and you will accomplish your goals faster if you can see and feel what it will be like to accomplish them.

Remember: if you have a bad day or a bad month, your goals shouldn’t change. If you plateau (which you won’t if you are on a great weight loss program and actually following it 100%), that doesn’t give you the excuse to give up. The solution is right around the corner.

Now you have your goal and can see and feel what it will be like to get your IdealShape. The only limiting factor is having the knowledge to get there. That’s why, as a weight loss expert, I am going to give you the answers to these question in each upcoming post.

If you are having a hard time finding the determination to commit or follow through, I would highly recommend that you try hypnosis for weight loss. Sometimes we don’t know what is really causing us to sabotage our weight loss goals. Hypnotherapy can help you overcome many obstacles very quickly, with lasting results.
