Best Weight Loss Tips: Cognitive Behavioral Psychology

#1 Reason You Have Weight Loss Struggles

The outward signs of weight loss struggles are easy to spot---weight gain and worsening health, among others. But, what's the real reasons you are struggling with weight gain? The answers to those questions will unlock your healthy, lean body for good! If you fail to deal with those questions, you will have difficulty reaching any goal. The #1 Reason for Weight Loss Struggles <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>In my experience with clients and myself for that matter, negative self-talk will defeat any goal you are trying to achieve. I work with clients every day—online and one-on-one---to help them reach their goals. It doesn’t matter if the goals are weight loss or weight gain---many times the clients’ goals are hindered by “something else” going on in their lives. We all deal with social, psychological and other problems/pressures every day. Its hard to focus on your body transformation goals when other problems are “weighing you down.” And, the way you talk to yourself day-to-day is critical to your success. Dr. Kevin Elko, an expert in Cognitive Behavioral Psychology (CBP), states it this way: “Those are real fancy words (CBP) that mean I learned how to help change the way people conduct conversations with themselves. Changing the way you talk to yourself can totally revolutionize your life, but learning to do it can take some time and guidance.” Yes, you may need expert guidance but first try talking positively to yourself. You will end up believing what you continually tell yourself. And, it shows in your attitude and behavior. Telling yourself phrases like "I can't," "I wish," "I will never," or "I quit" could easily be replaced by “I can” or “I will” or “what’s the alternatives.” Yes, eating mainly <a href="http://healthhut.mikegeary1.hop.clickbank.net/?pid=240" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">whole, natural foods</a> is very important if you want to change your body to lean. But, how will you train your mind to think differently about what you eat? It starts with how you talk to yourself on a consistent basis. How about telling yourself you will start to replace the bad, unhealthy foods in your house with whole, natural foods? How will you begin to be more active and exercise regularly? The positive actions starts in your mind. It is also important to surround yourself with positive people. It will only reinforce what you are trying to do. Research proves that you will be more successful with your fat loss/weight loss efforts if you have positive people holding you accountable. Personal trainers, spouses, workout buddies and group exercise classes are great for holding you accountable. That means you must inform them of your intentions to transform your body! Deal with the tough questions and watch things start to change drastically for you. <div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">Mark Dilworth, BA, PES</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"><a data-mce-href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/" href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">My Fitness Hut</a></div>

6 Behaviors that Limit Fat Loss and Weight Loss Success

If you do the same things over and over, you will get the same disappointing results. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg246pt1ttJKjlQJtse4jr1ef_TZf0QZRSJwEC9c30iCZvRtAqYoN-59um5uM7OYZCXBvlAAoRIWAlCpuiNDGf2hWpEh8tz3wGKcF36UtMjxXJJtnsAbhY6x5eQiZMV43VWPWNX3wtq4fE_/s1600/burger.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="286" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg246pt1ttJKjlQJtse4jr1ef_TZf0QZRSJwEC9c30iCZvRtAqYoN-59um5uM7OYZCXBvlAAoRIWAlCpuiNDGf2hWpEh8tz3wGKcF36UtMjxXJJtnsAbhY6x5eQiZMV43VWPWNX3wtq4fE_/s320/burger.bmp" width="320" /></a></div> Fat loss and weight loss management is a simple process---if you do it day in and day out. Its a process like any goal you are trying to reach. You don't reach your goals overnight. And, you didn't gain that weight overnight---it was a process too. There are reasons why this country has an obesity epidemic. All of the reasons have to do with behavioral habits. Here are 6 Behaviors that can Limit Your Fat Loss and Weight Loss Success: 1. Overeating Control your hunger during the day so you don't overeat when you do eat. Do this by eating small meals every 3-4 hours to keep your energy and metabolism active. And, binge-eating is always looming.... The Mayo Clinic defines binge-eating disorder as follows: "Binge-eating disorder is a serious eating disorder in which you frequently consume unusually large amounts of food. Almost everyone overeats on occasion, such as having seconds or thirds of a holiday meal. But for some people, overeating crosses the line to binge-eating disorder and it becomes a regular occurrence, shrouded in secrecy. When you have binge-eating disorder, you may be deeply embarrassed about gorging and vow to stop. But you feel such a compulsion that you can't resist the urges and continue binge eating. Although binge-eating disorder is the most common of all eating disorders, it's still not considered a distinct psychiatric condition. But if you have binge-eating disorder symptoms, treatment can help you." 2. Too little exercise Regular strength training and interval cardio sessions are a must if you want to change your body. You also need an active lifestyle to keep you healthier and happier. 3. Sedentary lifestyle So, if you have a "sit-down" job, I would recommend that you move more. Research proves that when you sit, your fat-burning enzymes basically shut down....when you stand during the day, those fat-burning enzymes go to work for you! Try to stand as much as you can during the day and take walking breaks and lunches to activate your fat-burning enzymes! Any activity is good to go along with your regular workouts. All movement burns calories. 4. Negative attitudes Negativity affects every thing you do in life. Always look for the best in every situation and get rid of the "negative vampires" in your life. Hang with positive people. We all need all the help we can get. 5. Limiting behaviors Are you sabotaging your fat loss and weight loss efforts? For example, if you are trying to break bad eating habits, why do you keep junk food and sugary foods in your kitchen pantry? If its there, you will eat it! 6. Following bad weight loss advice You may need a personal trainer to help you visualize success and individualize your fat loss and nutrition program. Its hard to change your body all by your lonesome. Whatever the reasons are for you being overweight, YOU can change your behavioral patterns that limit your success!
