The dieting industry is a multi-million pound business with many people and organisations promising you great results in a very short space of time. Many of these diets are expensive, unhealthy, and will only produce short term results.

The only way to produce long term results where you not only reduce weight and maintain it  is to do it slowly and gradually so that your health will not be compromised, aiming to lose approx. 1-2lbs per week.

Research has shown that a combination of dieting and exercise will produce the best long term results. Dieting can be stressful so exercising can reduce one’s stress as well as reinforcing the feel good factor of reducing one’s weight. Also taking action against your situation and not procrastinating over it can be very empowering as you feel you are doing something to resolve it.

Do you really want to lose weight or do you want to lose body fat? I often ask this question and most people say that if they could tone up their physiques it would not really matter if they weighed the same!

Linford Christie weighed approx. 18st and had a body fat of approx. 4% when competing in the Olympics and his physique wasn’t too bad!

Resistance training using, weights or body weight is an essential part of weight management programmes as it will help to reduce body fat and preserve muscle tissue when losing body weight.  As muscle is a calorie burner and fat is a calorie storer, a muscular body will burn more calories enhancing effective weight management.

Key strategies to achieve the physique that you want Motivation.

It is not always the motivation that precedes taking action to change behaviours. If someone takes action first the motivation can quite often follow especially if initial goals are achieved.

Results versus excuses
We can all come up with as many excuses as to why we are not achieving what we want in life and weight management is no exception! Common excuses are: not enough time, working long hours, business lunches, children’s parties, social occasions, on holiday etc. The fact is the excuses will not give you the results that you want!
