5 Essential Traits Required for Best Fast & Effective Weight Loss

While we are looking for a fast and effective weight loss solution, we repeatedly approach weight loss as sort of a problem that we can solve by just devoting ‘some’ amount of dedicated time and following certain diets or exercises. All the while intending to get the desired results quickly and thereafter return back to our so-called ‘normal’ life.

The practice of focusing one’s attention on losing weight this way might get results for us, but those results would only be for a short duration of time…

All the lost weight would come back in a matter of time, once we get back to our ‘normal’ routine… So, what we are missing here is the sustainability aspect of the weight loss solution…

With the quick fixes that we follow, we will get Fast Weight Loss results? .. yes! Effective Solution?… most definitely yes! But whether out adopted solution will result in a permanent weight reduction, is a BIG question mark!!

In order to have weight loss that stays, it is very important that you adopt the below mentioned five (5) important traits. Trust me, without these traits which your dream for a healthy body and permanent weight loss will remain a dream only.

READY TO WELCOME LIFESTYLE CHANGE: 

A very old saying, but also very true… “If you keep doing what you have been doing, you will get the same results you have been getting.”

So if your efforts till now have not reaped positive outcomes for you, it is time to try something that does. It is time for a Change… a change you need to bring in your Lifestyle… and you need to be ready and willing to welcome this change in your life as well.

I have done a lot of changes to my lifestyle in order to lose weight. I am still able to maintain my weight because of these changes only.

PERSEVERANCE:

Weight reduction will not happen overnight. The people or the companies that promise a quick weight loss are either fooling you or talking about a non-sustainable weight loss method. A quick or a fast weight loss solution is an absolute trap. Beware! We are here to find a permanent, sustainable yet effective weight loss solution. Aren’t we?

We need to take small steps and we need to keep going. There may be days when we might not see results, but we need to keep at it. (Read the 10 Possible Reasons Why you are not Losing Weight) Something every day, a little here and there, to reach towards our goal. Each effort we take, does something, we might or might not be able to see it then, but we just need to keep working, results will follow. Be Patient, but persistent!

POSITIVE ATTITUDE:

Statistics have revealed that majority of people take up binge eating or emotional eating and gain extra weight if they are stressed or depressed. Which means, the root cause of a weight loss problem lies deep within.

Nothing works if you are not feeling positive or are afraid to lose weight. So you need to find reasons to stay positive. If you stay positive in negative situations, you are already a winner! Do what makes you happy. Meet positive people, especially the people you trust. Try staying away from negative people. Absolutely no one should come between you and your way to achieve your goal.

SELF MOTIVATION:

This is the MOST important in this list. If you are not motivated from within, no matter how so many effective weight loss strategies you follow, nothing would happen. The motivation that you get from within will help you gather the strength to make you do what it takes in order to accomplish your goal. 

There were many times I just did not feel like working out or just wanted to skip it for a day, but I was motivated from within and this kept me going and work that extra mile to perform the exercises that I needed to do to lose weight.

SET A MEASURABLE GOAL:

Last but not the least, an effective weight loss requires setting up a weight loss goal.  It should be a measurable goal… there needs to be a number.

Once you have decided on a number, you can break it down into smaller, more achievable milestone, and then work towards reaching your first milestone, strike that off and then set your target to achieve the next milestone, till u finally reach your goal. It is always better to write this down your goals. I suggest that you create an account on Evernote, and install it on your phone as well as your desktop computer. It is an excellent application that helps you share your notes among devices and so you always have access to your weight loss journal. You can even share your notes with others if you want to.
