here are so many things about weight loss you could read about. Let me list the major ones, stress, lack of eating, and habits.
These 3 topics you will see over and over and over in any fitness atricle database, but let me tell you, just because there are 5,000 articles about each one of these, they aren't hard to understand, watch this....
The first topic of weight loss is stress.
How stress causes weight gain:
Have you ever been furious? Lost your head? Straight up about to knock someones block off? Or been in a threatening situation? If you have felt anything like this you have felt a hightend sense of stress, this is your 'fight or flight' response. Of course, I'm sure you have read this **** is nothing to play around with. Your adrenals release adrenalin and cortisol, cortisol is an anticatabolic hormone, which means it breaks down muscle to get energy ready. If you are in a stressful lifestyle, you will be releasing these hormones all of the time, however in smaller amounts. Although, this can have detrimental effects on your mental and physical health. It has been proven time after time, stress is a primitive response and we must do our best to remain calm. Weight gain will become imminent as digenstion also becomes slower, and your metabolism starts to suffer. Let this prolong itself, and your body will be in absolute chaos as it tries to reestablish normal levels or brain chemicals called neurotransmitters, this can sometimes lead to high sugar diets and binge eating, this only makes things even worse, it's a trap you don't want to find yourself in, but sadly, we do it without even noticing it.
Lack of eating:
Everyone thinks the less calories they eat the more weight they lose. If you think that you better read this before you end up sick or depressed. That is simply not true, the less you eat the more your metabolism slows down. The simple fact is that your body hates it when you start to lose energy, and when it notices that you have started to eat less it will after a few weeks starts to fight back and lower the rate at which it performs it's chemical reactions, rids waste, and reacts to stress, and we really do need a good stress response at the correct times.When you start the diet, You want to fluxuate your calories, remind your body that it's not starving, up your calories once to twice a week, go ahead and eat those high calorie foods, as long as you don't add any more than 500cals to your routine diet, and the days you decide to 'cheat' you absoutely must exercise.
How to create the habit:
I've written an article completely on this topic, you might want to check it out it's called "The Truth is Alive and It's Loud" that goes more in depth, but let's be pure and simple right here. When you hear the phrase "believe in yourself" you need to take it a step futher. You need to not only envision yourself doing it everyday. You need to rid the hindering thoughts of "I can't" because your will is at battle with your body's nautrual insticnt to stick to a habit, like I explaied before, your body hates to lose energy, and it does take a lot of energy to stop a habit. When you stop a habit, you have to form completely new neural connections in your brain, and it wont do this in one day, it takes weeks. You must conciously put in effort in to stop those bad connections from firing, this means stop thinking negatively. If you can stop yourself when you have a negative thought, and replace it with a posotive one, you are training your neurons to, build you up instead of bring you down. This is powerful, the most powerful topic of heath and fitness ever written. Breathe this in and never never forget it.
