The 4 Secrets of Highly Successful Dieters

By Caroline Monroe


The less calories you intake and the more calories you exert, the more weight you will lose. It seems like an easy equation to follow, but unfortunately for most, it is a tough formula to follow. If you want to lose weight and you want to know the real secrets behind a successful diet, you need to know more than just this formula.

Being able to commit to your weight loss goals and the ability to avoid temptations that will inevitably pop-up, is the number one key to losing weight. Having success in weight loss is created by habit and sticking to an exercise routine. This is a guaranteed result. Being able to lose weight will happen, but being able to lose weight in two weeks will only happen if you grasp these basic concepts.

Set specific and certain goals in order to achieve them. Saying you "want to lose weight", simply won't cut it. You have to instead say, "I want to lose 10 pounds in 2 weeks". This is a specific goal, and with specific goals your mind will start to bridge the gap between you, and where you want to be. You will be able to achieve these goals quicker and more easily if they are specific.


Sticking to a predetermined meal plan will increase your chances at successful weight loss almost 2 to 3 times based on a recent study. Knowing exactly what to eat and sticking to that plan is a key to weight loss. Instead of going home and looking in the refrigerator for the frozen pizza when you are already hungry, stick to the meal plan. Have a salad and help yourself out.

Set the bar high, but not too high that you can't jump over. Remaining optimistic is very important in any difficult task, such as weight loss, but setting the bar too high or too low can hurt you. Know that positivity is essential to getting you to your goal, but make sure your being realistic. Losing weight can be tough and if your not motivated to work hard you may not reach your goals. Set goals, stay positive and work hard.

Learn how to work out your "self-control muscle". To lose weight fast you not only have to work out your body, you have to strengthen your mind as well. Strengthening your "self-control muscle" is a learned and practiced thing. Go slowly, and take baby steps. There is no need to go vegan overnight, but instead of eating your sandwich AND bag of chips, eat the sandwich, toss the bag of chips away and grab an apple. Baby steps.

Know the formula for successful weight loss. Eat less, and work out more. But know that that is not where it stops. Successful weight loss is 90% habit, motivation and goal setting. If you are able to figure these out then you are well on your way to losing weight fast and keeping it off for good. Stay positive and stay focused and you will have success.
