Diets do not work BUT many people think a change of life style equals you on a diet. This article discusses how you can turn that belief into success.

I’m betting you’ve tried one or more diets in your life and as soon as you quit the diet you gained back what you’d lost and more. There is a very good reason for this.

Your diet probably reduced your caloric intake by 50 percent or more. Your body saw this drastic food intake reduction as starvation and stored part of everything you ate as fat and burned the lean muscle tissue in your body for energy.

As soon as you started eating at your previous levels, you started rebuilding your muscle mass and that plus the increased fat you gained during your diet pushed your weight higher.

This means fat loss cannot equal you on a diet.

The correct path would have been to reduce your calorie intake by no more than 20 percent and to increase your level of exercise. (I heard that groan.)

What you may not know is even minimal exercise, when done properly and consistently, helps increase your metabolism and active muscles burn fat when the calorie intake has been even slightly lowered.

Modestly reducing the calorie intake plus increased exercise is a double whammy that forces your body to burn fat. Fat loss is your undeclared goal anyway.

Ignore your scale while eating less and exercising more because lean muscle weighs more than the fat you are losing.

An additional benefit to those that choose an aggressive resistance training program is your muscles become healthier and their cellular age may more closely resemble the muscle health of a young adult.

Good nutrition through diet, vitamin and mineral supplements, increased water consumption, cardio workouts and resistance (strength) training will equal the fat loss you are seeking.

Most of us don’t understand good nutrition, portion control, eating 5-6 meals a day, what exercises to do, when to exercise and where all of this information can be found. I recommend you check out the NutriSystems Advanced program because they offer not only the foods in the right portions but counseling, support, a DVD on exercising and more so you on a diet can equal a successful lifestyle change.

Nutrisystems has been around a long time and they have helped many with short term weight loss. This article discusses using them for permanent loss.

Do you need Nutri System to lose weight? Absolutely Not!

You DO need:

• To know how many calories you are consuming each day, when they are consumed and what foods you are eating in what quantities. (Reducing your daily caloric intake by more than 20% puts your body in starvation mode so you are burning muscle instead of losing fat.)

• To know WHY you are over eating. Many people eat as a coping mechanism when they are sad, depressed, stressed or afraid.

• To know how to reprogram your mind. Losing weight and keeping it off requires a change in your lifestyle and this requires changing your mindset and habits.

• To understand nutrition. You cannot give your body what it needs to stay healthy without understanding nutrition.

• To know how to exercise, when to exercise, what exercises are best for you and WHY exercising is so important to your fat loss program.

• A support group that can help you stay focused without judging you. (Family and friends are seldom good as a support group because they usually won’t be honest when you mess up.)

If you already have everything on the above list, you don’t really need nutrisystems or any other weight loss (fat loss) program. If you lack knowledge in any of these areas, I recommend you give nutrisystems advanced a very serious look because their prepackaged meals can help you with portion control and eating 5-6 times a day so you never feel hungry while you are both losing weight and learning how to keep it off with proper nutrition and exercise.

Wouldn’t it be nice to permanently cross weight loss off your to do list with the help of nutrisystems?
