What are you willing to do to achieve your weight loss goals?

Im approached quite regularly about which diet is best, which

book would I recommend and what exercise program should a

Article Body

person follow. People think they can just purchase a book to

read and then some sort of magic occurs whereby reading it

will cause their fat to magically disappear. Well, Im here

Article Body

to break the news to you, the $40 investment in your weight

loss book is just the start, theres a lot of hard work and

other expenses involved.

Time Investment

Theres time invested in your education (reading, watching

videos etc), time youll spend exercising doing both cardio

Article Body

and weight training. Theres time spent creating your new

meal plans as well as preparation of those meals the day

before or days in advance. Theres time involved in doing

Article Body

extra laundry because youre suddenly doing more exercising

now on your weight loss journey.

Let me ask you this: Whats your favorite television show?

Article Body

How much television are you watching in a given week? 1 Hour?

Six? Are you willing to eliminate television to allow

yourself time to go to the gym and prepare foods for the next

Article Body

day? If not, then dont bother buying books that recommend

food and exercise programs? It takes time to prepare food for

5 or 6 meals in a day and to go to the gym once or twice a

Article Body

day. Weight loss requires a time investment.

Food Investment

The quality of the food you put in your body is directly

Article Body

proportional to the quality of your cells. Its your cells

that create energy and make your various bodily systems run,

and if theyre given the best quality food, then theyre able

Article Body

to regenerate and be healthy.

Conversely, low quality food creates a low quality cell. A

low quality cell is not up to the demand of generating energy

Article Body

nor the proper removal of wastes which then results in

sickness and disease.

In conversation with a fellow regarding his food program and

Article Body

how he could make corrections to his diet to improve his

health, burn fat, improve his workouts and achieve his weight

loss goal, I suggested a few new products. Oatmeal, some

Article Body

whole grain wraps, spring mix salad, and Essential Fatty Acid,

Almond butter and whole grain basmati rice were a few places

to begin.

Article Body

You didnt tell me how expensive it was going to be! was his

response.

Well, I dont consider it expensive, so I would not have said

Article Body

that it was.

Our cells are our power plants in our body. Our body is

constantly rebuilding itself daily and hourly. Our skeleton

Article Body

replaces itself once a year and the muscular lining of our

stomach and our intestines is replaced every 3 to 4 days so it

only makes sense to give it the highest quality food. Doesnt

Article Body

it?

Youre probably going to come to the same conclusion that most

other people do. The food I put in my body creates a healthy

Article Body

body and I must take care in my food choices.

Whole grain oatmeal costs more money than cocoa puffs. Raw

almonds cost more than hickory smoked almonds and you probably

Article Body

never knew what Essential Fats or Pro Biotics were. Weight

loss requires an investment in food.

Cutting Expenses To Reach Your Goal

Article Body

If youre not able to increase the amount of food you eat

financially or the quality of the food you eat (organic), then

what are you willing to do to get it. Are you willing to cut

Article Body

some other costs? Are you willing to increase your sales at

your job or home business to be able to afford this new

change? The first reasonable step is to make some switches or

Article Body

replacements. Take note of non nutritional foods in your day

- consider snacks, junk foods, coffee, pop, cigarettes (I hope

youre not still smoking), milk or dairy products, alcohol,

Article Body

vitamins, tums, Rolaids, pepto bismol etc and see how much

youre spending on a daily or monthly basis. Are you willing

to replace these for higher quality nutritional foods that

Article Body

will support you in your weight loss goals? It can be a scary

thought for some people. Others accept the challenge readily

because theyve truly committed to their weight loss goals and

Article Body

are willing to do Whatever It Takes! Switching and replacing

is the easiest thing to do. Weight Loss requires sacrifice.

Invest in Yourself

Article Body

Your body, your mind, your soul and becoming the best you can

be is the single best investment you can make. Make the

decision to eat the cleanest food you can, make the healthiest

Article Body

choices you can, begin to switch from non nutritional foods to

nutritional foods and let go negativity in your life. Weight

loss is easy, but requires some investment.

Eat Well, Be Well
