The Best Way To Lose Weight is to Strategize.

By Jenny Mathers. Editor

Identifying three issues within your strategy, will help you identify the best way to lose weight. These three issues will literally mean the difference between achieving your weight loss goals and failing miserably. You don't just need any strategy though. We are all different, and while the theory of losing weight and body fat is essentially pretty simple, in practice losing weight is pretty complicated. So the best way to lose weight is to get a strategy that identifies the issues that will affect your weight loss efforts the most.

You need a weight loss plan, a map setting out what goals are realistic for you and what you should do to achieve these goals.

The best strategy to use is to identify three underlying issues that affect almost everyone when they want to lose weight. If you identify and approach these issues in your life, you'll have a better than average chance of achieving your weight loss goals.

What's Your Lifestyle Like ?

Ever looked in the mirror at the growing belly or "thunder thighs" and said to yourself you really need to lose the weight - but then you rush off to work, get the kids off to school, go to a party. Life rolls on, but you're still no closer to what you want - a slimmer you. The issue here, is lifestyle. Look at how you spend your time. Do you work hard, but spend the majority of the time sedentary ? Do you feel that there is no time to cook a healthy meal or get some exercise . The best way to lose weight is to include lifestyle change as part of your overall strategy.

A lifestyle strategy will firstly identify the barriers that are preventing you from losing weight and put into place methods in which to overcome these barriers.

Are you accountable ? Are you motivated to achieve your weight loss goals ?

Approaching and overcoming these barriers takes work, it won't just happen and even though you know that obesity is in epidemic proportions all over the world, somehow people who want to lose weight still feel unworthy, unable and unsuccessful at achieving a healthy bodyweight.

Being overweight affects self-esteem and self-image drastically and these kinds of issues need to be dealt with. Becoming accountable to someone who matters to you, getting support to encourage you to keep going, nourish a healthy self-image, celebrate your weight loss achievements as you go is vital in achieving optimum motivation and long term weight loss results.

This is basically called a buddy system where you become accountable to someone else - not just anyone - someone who cares about you (REALLY) and will spend the time to motivate and achieve your goals.

Are you in Energy Surplus or Energy Deficit ?

Your buddy can work with professionals to reinforce the nuts and bolts of your weight loss plan, and these are basically your eating patterns and your exercise. Without altering your eating patterns or your exercise to create an energy deficit, nothing is going to happen, except maybe putting on more weight if you are eating too much and exercising too little.

For some people who have a medical condition, their weight problem is not related to eating too much and exercising too little. However for those who don't have a medical condition that is causing them to be overweight - these two factors will affect your weight loss efforts the most.

The Three Secrets To the Best Way To Lose Weight Are At Your Fingertips.

The best way to lose weight in my opinion, is to step back and look at issues such as your lifestyle, accountability, and energy deficit/surplus for the best and permanent results.
