4. If you end up cheating it's not end of world - We're all human and we are bound to do it once and awhile. Some will think that they wrecked their whole diet and will therefore give up. Don't! It was only one day and tomorrow's another day. Look at it positively, it will just work to speed up your metabolism. If you haven't cheated in awhile maybe your body is trying to tell you something. All in all, if you can eat 'clean' for four to six days at a time cheating will not blow your whole diet. So don't get discouraged!

5. Give things time to work - This is another 'essential' element that most people don't realize. You have to give things time to work! Sometimes it can take weeks before you see improvements. If after a month or so you don't see anything happening maybe then it's time to fine-tune your program and make some adjustments. The key is to make sure you do your homework first before you go ballistic in your crusade to combat fat. This will save a lot of pain and time in long run.

3. Endomorph - this group is more inclined to adding body fat.

No one is really one hundred percent one type or another but overweight people usually tend to lean more towards endomorph.

This can explain why it is harder for certain individuals to lose weight, but it is not impossible. Understanding your body type will make you understand yourself better and you will start to realize that there is hope. Unless you have a specific medical problem that is verifiable by a physician I KNOW you can do it! If you were ever thin in past study pictures of yourself and rely on your memory to make an educated guess of your body type. It is possible for an ectomorph to become overweight as well even though it is more difficult. In this specific case you would have an easier time losing it.

In a blanket statement I would say that we all should work with what we were given. There are many stories of individuals and even athletes who were told 'they couldn't do it' and ended up going beyond their expectations. Nobody really knows how far they can push themselves until they have explored it. Once you have set limits on yourself that becomes your reality.

Think Positive

Forget past! So what if you tried many times and have failed. Sometimes that's what it takes - instinct. People often have to experiment in order to find out what's right for them and their particular situation, their likes and dislikes, as well as what they are comfortable with. If you have lost weight in past but gained it back, at least you know that it IS possible. Study what you have done and find out where you have went wrong. Research, look into things and then try it again. Practice makes perfect!

Even though you might be taking a different approach to your weight loss attempts just flip through magazines or research personal experiences of dieters on internet (see Yahoo> Health> Weight Issues> Weight Loss> Personal Experience). Study their cases, look at their bodies, see where they might have went wrong and see what time frame they did it in. Take notes if you have to. Some of these sites actually have diet journals where person has written down everything they have done. Look at them as well. In a matter of weeks you will be able to fine-tune your program and see results you didn't think were possible. Believe and achieve!
