Everybody is looking for that magic elixir. That one single thing that's going to reverse countless years of mass carbohydrate binging and soda orgies.
What ends up happening is most try one thing or another and don't see the results they are looking for within the first week and quickly move on to something else. Or maybe nothing. Just go back to their old ways.
Weight loss and health maintenance is a lifestyle change and requires the rewiring of the brain to achieve the desired results.
I'm going to pass along what is working now and where all the buzz is, but want to point out why most initiatives don't stick.
In order to change a major lifestyle habit, two things need to occur. Your habits "physically" need to change, and your habits on how you "think" need to change. You know, that inner dialogue you have with yourself. It tells you that you can or can't do something. It also keeps you on the straight and narrow. It's your conscience.
Change the "I can't" to "I can". You are going to have to have the inner fortitude to turn down those donuts that somebody brought in to work that day.
“Whether you think you can or whether you think you can't, you're right.”
Henry Ford
