Be Realistic To Loose Weight Is Better

February 28th, 2010 by Small State Health Team

When losing weight, many people set goals are unrealistic, such as lose 20 kilos in a month, or 3 or 4 in a week. Well, this is both unrealistic, harmful, since frustration can cause many problems and reduce your optimism to zero, making you abandon your weight loss program.

This is the conclusion of a group of Japanese researchers who have published their study in the journal Biopsychosocial Medicine, patients who concluded that when starting a diet the most optimistic were the first to leave.

In fact, very optimistic that they did not leave the program were those who ultimately lost fewer kilos. Furthermore, patients who were able to improve their confidence gradually and throughout the study were those who managed to exceed its initial objectives.

The mental attitude is critical to challenges such as weight loss. A mind too optimistic and demanding frustration can lead to acting as a barrier.

Know, respect your limits and set achievable goals. Once you get to meet them, look out for passes to more ambitious goals.
