“How to lose weight fast and permanent?”

Few weeks ago I read an article about quick weight loss; I read it twice then I went to get a coffee. When I came back - I read it once more. Why did I read it three times?

“Articles, books, adds about dieting…”

What I saw inside was indeed related to dieting and weight loss. It also contained links to various articles concerning weight loss, fitness and general wellness programs as expected. The fact that infuriated me and made me write this post was that everything inside was said to be easy and free: free dieting, free weight loss programs, easy way to lose fat, east way to get fit and be healthy and it went on and on.

“Real knowledge - the key to dieting success”

Judging for my dieting experiences so far - it was never easy, never! Long ago I lost track of the number of diets, weight loss programs and fitness regimes that I have tried. Every time I did one these …programs, it took away something from me.

My frustration made me recall many of the diets I did - my failures or successes and how I understood the truth about things. Don’t get me wrong - there is no universal truth; you need to find out your own - your own truth about your way of eating, your way to stay healthy, to be thin, slim, fit and all that.

“How can I stay fit? How can I lose weight? How can stay fit always?

At that point the right question is “how”. The answer to it is as simple as it gets. The only important thing is that the answer is different to different people.

My answer to the “how” was trial and error. That is “how” I did it, how I lost 22 kg and become the man closest to the one I saw in my mind’s eye.

It was not easy - everything else but easy! And the fact is you all know how it is done. You have the knowledge for it

How to do it?

1. First - find your healthy food - which foods are healthy for you, what agrees with your body and what does notI used combination to find out which foods are most suited. In simple words what agrees with body and what does not. Then I cut off the bad foods from my diet. By the way, now there is a blood test that can give you the results more quickly than me.
2. Second - eat more often. The second step was to break your eating in at least 4 times a day. That was the most difficult part for me. For years I was used to eat one or two times a day (rarely three). And I ate in huge quantities with full disregard for quality.
3. Third - exercise. We are meant to move. Walk if you cannot do anything else. The fitness is important. Exercise makes you feel more alive, grants you better sleep at night and more stamina during the day.

Sleep: A Necessity, Not a Luxury

The pace of life gets faster and faster, and people try to cram more and more into every minute of the day. As things get more hectic, sleep tends to get short shrift. It’s seen as wasted time, lost forever.

Here it is, as simple as we can make it: When you eat too many carbohydrates (carbs), your body burns some of those carbs for energy and stores the excess carbs as fat. When you eat fewer carbs – especially white flour and sugar, your body begins burning fat as it’s primary fuel source.
That’s how [...]
