A plan to lose weight

An old adage says that failing to plan is planning to fail. For anything in life that is more complex than simply an action or other isolated, to fail to plan ie do not plan to, we are actually doing another plan: failure! With weight loss, this could not be truer.
The vast majority of people can not lose weight not because they do not follow any specific plan and therefore do not know what to do the day-to-day to reach your goal is to lose 5 or 30 kilos, and also have no way to verify what they did in fact and what not do. This situation leads to the following result: spend time and the person does not remember right she did, she only remembers that he is "trying" to lose weight and been a while, then she enters a self-deception process, telling herself that "has done everything" and nothing works. What is the reality?

The reality is that it has a little bit of many things: exercise, diet, ate a few things here and there that "say it helps to lose weight", did some hiking, but as she did not write down anything or have a plan to follow in ultimately, it is the impression that "done enough", but the reality is that it did not do much and not on top, did everything wrong!
Then she can not lose weight and is frustrated because in her head she's doing all right, but in reality it is not getting results because it has CONSISTENCY in their actions and some of their actions are WRONG.

How to fix this problem?

First: developing a weight loss plan, organized and structured that says note by tim-tim, all you should faezr, the moment you wake up until the time you go to sleep, including everything you put in your mouth .
People find it very difficult to have the discipline to lose weight, but the biggest problem is simply the lack of a plan. See, it's hard to have discipline when you're starving and you do not know what you have to eat, did not think of it before. Then you open the fridge, takes a poke around in the kitchen and picks up the most appetizing thing you can find, or falls into temptation when others in your home begin to eat good things and "fattening". If you had a plan, however, would not. First because you would plan to eat so many in so many hours to not reach the point of "starving" and second because the plan you have prepared, or easily preparable, something you can eat eat peaceful Awareness and when you see that package wafer or other people in your home eating gusoleimas, you simply will not be hungry anymore, because you will have already eaten.
Regarding the years, this question of discipline is even more difficult because people generally have very little knowledge about exercise and its role in weight loss. Many people go to the gym just for the sake of conscience, it is half an hour on the treadmill or lifting a pesinhos and ready, go home thinking they did well. Still others do not go to the gym, go out to walk and consider mission accomplished. The lack of a plan results in a lack of creativity, just do not know what to do for lack of ideas and knowledge. A plan makes exercise a painless task - he says exactly what to do, for how long and in what form. It's easy, saves you from having to think and reason when you are not willing to burn gray matter trying to figure out what to do.

If you are not getting results, it's easy to see why, just take a look at the record, compare it with your plan and find out where you are going wrong or if you do not know, specify hypotheses and check them one by one over time. For example, if you been eating 1,500 calories per day and are not getting results, a hypothesis may be that you are eating too much for the activities QUANTITY you have done. To test this hypothesis, would you plan reduce your diet to 1,300 calories a day without modifying the physical activities to see what happens. If you do not have that kind of annotated thing, you're in the dark, not knowing what's going wrong, what you may be doing that is not right, after all, it only leads to frustration because you are not progressing towards the your goals and do not know why!
Now, what I wonder is that many people do not even know how to make a plan! To these people I recommend forget slimming stuff for a while and simply learn to plan. The best book I know (one of the only on this issue, in fact) is the book Strategic Planning Staff Fran Christy. The author explains in this book how to make plans, be it for your whole life, is to write a book, to start a business or to lose weight. Plans are plans and these techniques work for any goal you have. Reading a book like this is beneficial for your whole life, because knowledge on how to set goals and plan these goals can help a person to give a phenomenal shift in life!

I wanted to write today's article on this subject as we speak enough already of all other aspects of weight loss here on the site, but in most cases, what is lacking for people is to organize, put everything on paper and follow this plan , step by step. This structure puts the person in a specific path and makes the weight loss process much easier than simply be guessing all day what you should eat, what you should do and then be in doubt if you are doing right or wrong!
