Those looking for help to lose weight generally adopt quick strategies, because they try to lose weight quickly, as soon as possible. An absolutely wrong choice that leads him to be a slave to unorthodox methods once he has regained weight (if he has fasted to lose weight he will always be forced to fast; if he has eliminated carbohydrates in the long term, he will be forced to eliminate them again etc.), because the weight, alas, returns.

The fact is that many choices for weight loss are not very sustainable during their lifetimes. I will make this sacrifice for a while, think those who have to lose weight.
But the fundamental question once we have lost weight is and remains: how will I manage not to regain it? Never again? This is why people who are looking for help to lose weight do not look for it just once: they make this fight against extra pounds the pivot of their existence, ending up trying many diets and many slimming methods. Money thrown away, wasted time, unhappiness: diets seem like an endless trap. Still, there are people who make it. I read many stories of severely obese people, with problems too severe to do bariatric surgery. How did these people lose weight?

They didn’t go to the gym seven days a week and often didn’t go on a real diet. Here’s what you need to learn from these people and the three things you need to stop doing if you really want to lose weight.

THREE THINGS TO AVOID IF YOU WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT
– Avoid revolutionizing your diet: it makes no sense to change your diet overnight. Instead, try making acceptable substitutions to lose weight. For example, make a smoothie or centrifuge of mixed vegetables + one fruit a day instead of the usual snack. Reduce industrial products to 2 or 3 things a week, trying to cook most of the foods yourself. Get yourself a large side of vegetables for lunch and dinner.
– Avoid cutting entire categories of foods: eliminate all carbohydrates?You can do it and you can lose weight fast, but tell me one thing: are you ready to give up REAL ice cream for life? To pizza? To a plate of lasagna or pasta? For those who want to limit carbohydrates, I always recommend aiming for more natural resources: fake cereals such as quinoa or buckwheat, potatoes, two portions of fruit a day. And two days a week dedicated to a pasta-based meal or a pizza. Same thing for sugar. Better to eat fresh fruit and a little honey, leaving something sweet on particularly busy days, once a week, rather than saying “goodbye forever” to sweets.
– Avoid making replacements:the fake ice cream, the fake cake, the fake butter, the skimmed dairy product instead of that piece of gorgonzola that we like so much. The body looks for some foods and not others: it is stupid to think of deceiving it with replacements, which are often too messed up, as if it were not ours, but someone else’s. We try to make our life happy, without making food the pivot around which our existence revolves. It makes no sense to rack your brains to make light versions of traditional dishes. It makes sense to think about new recipes, new cooking methods, new dishes. It makes sense to broaden your horizons, not give ourselves shoddy replicas of what we love. Let’s educate ourselves on a healthier diet, leaving room for two meals a week for things we have always loved.
In this way, losing weight will not be dieting, but having a freer and more open approach to new foods, without excluding anything.
