There are many diets and workouts on the market today and they all claim to have the best weight loss program. However, a dieter could become very confused because many of the programs directly contradict each other. Who knows what the best weight loss program really is? All of the great weight loss programs have some features in common. Here are the steps to best weight loss:

Step One: Decide to Lose Weight and Commit

Without a firm commitment to lose weight and a sincere goal, nothing will happen. However, when a person has reached the stage where enough is enough, then change will begin to occur. It is not easy, but by beginning with baby steps a large achievement may be accomplished. As soon as a person has become resolute, they will begin moving in the direction of the goal. This is the beginning of a great success.

Step Two: Select a Proven Weight Loss Program

It is usually best not to attempt to modify behavior alone. There are proven weight loss programs out there and many of them work. Seek out the program that seems to have the best rack record and follow it. There is no need to go it alone. Joining weight loss groups involves admitting there is a challenge with food but the programs exist for the purpose of helping dieters. The best weight loss programs have a group or individual counseling and instructional component, because there is a social and emotional aspect to being overweight. There is no need to think that “willpower” is needed. Actually, people are highly social and there is a great dynamic to a group or even working with an individual weight loss counselor. Two or more together have more power than one alone.

Step Three: Implement the Chosen Program

Follow the instructions given by the program. If some mistakes happen or there are examples of days where there is too much overeating, then just get back on the program again. There is no need to rate the day mentally as “good” or “bad.” There is no such thing as a “perfect” eating day. Just notice patterns and make the best choices. If too many off- program foods are eaten, and then just get back with it tomorrow. Also, the more active the dieter is, the better the program will work. Consider implementing a walking program, or getting in some other type of fun activity.

If these steps are followed, then desirable results will be achieved. True, lasting weight loss is possible for everyone.
