Surefire Weight Loss Tricks

I’m very proud of myself, if you don’t mind me saying so, because I’ve lost 23 pounds in 5 months and I’m not close to giving up yet. It’s the most weight I’ve ever been able to lose and the longest time I’ve ever kept to one diet. I can’t believe I’ve made it this far and I have every intention to follow through on my success by losing even more weight.

What’s changed this time around is the fact that I feel so much healthier because of it. I’m sure I’m going to keep this regime up for a long time yet. I’d like to share with you a few dieting tips I’ve picked up on the way.

In the first place, on this diet I eat no artificial sugar whatsoever, and no cane sugar. The sugars that naturally occur in fruits and vegetables take their place.

The biggest thing for me to avoid is high fructose corn syrup, as many believe that this is a leading cause of weight gain and diabetes.

If you look carefully at the ingredients in everyday foods such as ketchup and bread, you’ll see that even they contain high fructose corn syrup.

I’ve also been exercising very regularly. It took my body a little while to get used to it, but I’m now running 5 days per week and I’m trying to run faster and longer every week. This makes me feel great, and it obviously burns calories.

Lastly, I’ve stopped drinking diet sodas. Even though they contain no calories, I’ve looked into the subject and discovered they can actually make you put on weight.

Apparently, the chemicals these sodas contain trick your brain into thinking you’ve had sugar. Then, your body reacts in the same way it would if you had just taken in sugar. So, there’s no benefit. These days I prefer to quench my thirst with good old water.
