Introduction
If you are serious about wanting to lose fat, then this is definitely the book for you! In it you will find lots of information about your bodyhow it works and what it needs to surviveas well as how to lose fat safely and effectivelyfor good.
In this day and age, there is a lot of pressure to conform to certain images of ultraskinny women or lean, muscular men. As a result of this, many "normal" people feel inadequate and unhappy about the way they look. We have become so concerned with how we look that we are prepared to go to almost any length to try to achieve the body beautifulsomething that for most of us is unachievable. Inevitably this leads to disappointment. Everyone I know would like to change the look of some body part, and that includes me! Unfortunately many people abuse their bodies through months or even years of poor diets, often without realizing it. They follow the latest fad diet, taken in by false promises and expectations. Even though some of these diets result in drastic weight loss in a relatively short period of time, they can be very dangerous. As soon as you finish the diet, you start to regain the weight you lost, and often lots more besides.
Regaining weight has a very negative effect on your satisfaction with your appearance, your self-esteem and your confidence. It usually occurs because you were not on a well-balanced diet, and your body wasn't getting the amount of food it needed to stay healthy while you were on the plan. Or it may occur because you didn't prepare yourself for coping with high-risk situations. We all need to learn how to cope with temptation, and although this aspect of weight loss is often neglected, it is crucial to your long-term success. (See Chapter 3.)
In this book one of the most important things you will learn is how to set realistic goals. You will lose fat if you follow the guidelines set out in this book, but there will be no overnight change in how you look. Just as it takes a long time to become overweight, it can take a long time to lose weight safely, so that it stays offfor good. So what are you expecting as you start to read this book? If you are hoping for an instant, 28-day miracle, you will be disappointed. My hope for you is that as you read you will learn to make changes in your life, in what you eat and in your activity levels, and that you will drastically improve your health. This has to be first and foremost. The wonderful thing about this book is that in addition to becoming healthier, you will also lose excess fat from your body. (That is, provided you actually follow the guidelines in this bookit's not enough just to read it!)
As you read you will learn that by reeducating yourself you can become healthier and slimmer at the same time. The majority of dieters feel anything from mild apprehension to dread at the thought of going on another diet. How do you feel as you are reading this? You can rest assured that this book really is different. I'm not trying to sell you some miracle food or potion that will solve all your problems. I have looked at weight loss from every angle, not just at what you put in your moutha successful weight-loss program has to offer much more than that. I will tell you how and why you gain fat, why your body naturally changes shape as you get older, exactly what your nutritional requirements are and why many diets simply can't work. I will explain why exercise is so important and how to choose the best forms of exercise for you. We will also look at the psychology of dieting (Why do we do it?), what you can realistically expect to achieve and, most important of all, how you can achieve it.
