Hi guys. I am continuing the theme of dropping some tips for those of you who want to lose weight.

1. If you plan your meals, you have a better chance of making sure that you follow the recommended values to a tee. Meal planning also forces one to consider the reasons for their overeating as well as actually seeing what they are eating.

2. Persistence will get you everywhere. Once you determine the requirements for your weight loss. Persist in the exercises and the direct diet restrictions and you will see good results.

3. Take your time. Dieting is not a competition and you should not distress yourself by trying to copy other people who you might think look the best. Do things in your own time to suit your personal needs.

4. Enjoy your dieting. This might sound a bit crazy but you can fun with your diet especially if you are working in a group and are able to share anecdotes.

5. Transform your whole lifestyle. Dieting is a social activity but the decision to lose weight is an individual one. The best methods of losing weight rely on your transforming all aspects of your life which have troubled you in the past.

6. Share. I do not mean sharing the food, although that might be a good idea. I mean talking to other people about the progress of your diet and your general wellbeing. A problem shared is a problem reduced.

7. Ensure that you are as active as you possibly can by joining the gym or running around your compound. This is what will make you lose weight even further.

8. Do not get discouraged by the slow progress. Sometimes things appear to take longer than you would like but just focus on what is in store for you at the end of the tunnel. This will motivate you to work even harder at your program.

9. Be consistent. Jumping from one new diet to the next without properly doing the work that you are expected to do will not help you in the long run. You need to select a diet and stick to it.

10. Snacks are to be avoided as much as possible. They are the bane of good dieting and you do not need them to live. Once you plan your meals, all you need to do is eat when you are hungry.

Those are my 10 top tips for you today. See you in about three days but I will keep checking the comments.

The Weight Burner is on Without Sugar

Welcome to the weight burner blog. This is my first posting and I am hoping that all of you will want to join the blog and contribute your own ideas. I suppose that I will need to blog every three days just to keep you informed but if I don’t make it, please feel free to remind me.

Today I am looking at some of the issues that face weight watchers when they are trying to burn that weight. Those of you who have a sweet tooth will know the power of cravings and the total inability to just ignore the desire for a sweet when it rears its ugly head. You will know what it is like to know that sweets are not good for you but yet having this unquenchable desire to eat them nevertheless.
As we all know sweets are not good for you. Apart from the devastating effect on your teeth, they also significantly increase you calorie count, thus negating any efforts you may have made at dieting. Bye the way, a sweet tooth is not limited to sugar but there are various other things that can bring in the sugar content such as chocolate as well as confectionary in general.

The sweetener is your friend if you have this problem. It will not provide you with the sugar rush that you crave but at least it will give you some form of taste. Many of these sweeteners have zero calories but again they might taste horrendous to some people. One solution is to mix them up with a little sugar so that you get the taste of sugar which is enhanced by the sweetener but also at the same time you do not throw your diet completely out of the window.

Anyway that is my tip for today. I wish you all the best in your dieting. Make sure that you don’t take too much sugar. It may taste sweet but it is not good for you and might cause you a great deal of problems at a later stage. When you feel the need for sugar, you might want to reach for your sweetener just in case. As we continue in our struggle against the bulge, I urge you to post comments about this blog entry so that we can share experiences. I do some moderation but it should not put you off posting something once in a while. Unless you really post a particularly offensive message, I will consider most entries.
