The less pounds or kilos you need to lose, the harder you lose them.
Why?
Obviously, because when you have little to lose, if you are a healthy person, you are already having a lower number of calories per day. When you reduce, you don't reduce from 4000 calories a day to 2000, but you reduce from 2500, let's say, to 1800.
If your scale gets stuck and won't budge from 120 pounds when you want it to reach 110 pounds and you really want to lose those 10 pounds, move your ass from the couch and start exercising. Use the tips I gave you until now and don't, oh please don't do stupid things.
What am I talking about?
laxatives - they not only irritate your colon, but rid you of vitamins and minerals and water. Unless constipated, don't resort to this methos. I will post one of these days my advice to solving the constipation problem. It sounds disgusting, but it's something that many people have problems with.
puking - If you like to puke after you eat, please ask for help. When I was 15-17 I would have done it myself if I could - honestly - but I am glad I didn't. It's dangerous and it's a sign that you need help. Puking will make you lose weight now, but it is also the equivalent of a low calorie diet. The moment you stop puking, you put on weight like crazy. So go with a balanced diet to keep you slim, and exercise. If my words don't scare you, you should read a bit online about the unhappy cases. That might change your mind about losing weight through puking.
spitting - Oh no you don't. First, the moment you put something in your mouth, the brain starts sending messages to your glands about the kind of action to take to deal with that kind of food. You are messing up your system if you do this. Besides, chewing and spitting will not solve your weight problem. Why? Because people who like food don't care about tasting only, but about swallowing that food. You don't believe me? Try to see if you feel any better if you only chew the chocolate and spit it? Of course not. You feel the compulsion to swallow it - the normal thing to do. Chewing and spitting will make you frustrated. Don't do it.
fasting - Unless you do it for religious purposes, don't prolonge this habbit. It's unhealthy. One day a week is ok. But 7 out of is not. If you think of fasting and eating only vegetables and fruits, that is ok. But keep in mind the protein problem. Have Spirulina.
I hope I exhausted the not-to-do list.
If you think of any other problems, please leave me a comment.
Losing weight and staying healthy is easy, when you care. Forget famishing yourself: there are other ways.
Since I was 15 I've been obsessed with healthy diets, losing weight, sports, and everything included. I read books after books and I collected articles on staying fit and healthy. Even now, 12 years later, I am still reading everything I find on the subject.
