CHAPTER 1 -You Already Know Everything! You Do! Weight Loss Information is very easy to come by and chances are if you are reading this that you have also read tons of other websites, books, magazine articles and TV programs all downloading thier diet info into your brain. For Example: You know that you need to eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. You know to stay away from the 'bad carbs' like sugar, candy, soda etc... and to eat more 'good carbs' like whole grains, sweet potatos, rice etc... You know to eat lower fat protein foods like fish, poultry (turkey and chicken) and lean beef and to stay away from higher fat protein foods like regular beef, tripe, liver, pork etc... You know you should NOT overeat either at any one meal nor in total calories throughout the day. SO WHY CAN'T YOU LOSE WEIGHT?? Read on! The next few chapters will spell it out for you clear as day. Before we go on though, there is one thing you may NOT know that you will NEED to know about losing weight and permanent fat loss. Something that will be repeated on every page so that you will remember: In order for a Diet to work LONG-TERM it MUST satisfy 2 criteria: 1- It must be a diet that is healthy for you. One containing carbs, fats, protein, plenty of fruits and veggies and a 'tad' of junk food for sanity reasons. 2- It must be a diet that can be reasonably sustained for the REST of YOUR LIFE! What does that mean? Although I can 'reasonably sustain' pizza and ice cream for the rest of my life (and enjoy the hell out of it) it breaks rule #1. So what can be reasonably sustained? That depends on your culture, tastes etc... but a good example would be foods like chicken, turkey, fish, rice, potatos, pasta, veggies, cereal, sandwiches, etc. Therefore Diets that have you eating only meat and cheese and low-carbs, or lots of carbs but low-fat, or any combination of the 3 macronutrients (protein, carbs, fats) that are out of balance with each other will never really be able to be sustained. They can work short-term but what then?
