How can I work up the self-control necessary for sustained weight loss?

I have never before dieted, but my weight is now unacceptable. (male, 5'9';, 312 lbs)


I love food so much! But I am determined to go on Jared Fogle's Subway Diet on which he lost 100 pounds in the first 12 months.


Please tell me how to develop self-mastery.How can I work up the self-control necessary for sustained weight loss?
That's what it takes when you're insulin resistant, a lot of will power %26amp; it can be done for someone motivated enough, but maintaining that kind of will power for long term, for a life time is nearly impossible.





Do you see yourself as weak willed? Your body is insulin resistant, continuous high levels of carbs have damaged the receptors. You can go thru life white knuckling it or fix the problem. You will probably never be able to process carbs the way a person with a still functioning body can (obesity is an epidemic, it's not just you). You eat carbs %26amp; in a functioning body, glucose goes to the muscles, in the insulin resistant, they go straight to the fat cells. Your body is screaming for nutrition but insulin (the fat storage hormone) is diverting it directly to the fat cells, you are driven to eat with this continuous blood glucose, insulin battle raging in your system. Your blood sugar gets low which signals you to eat, your tissues are screaming for nutrition, you try to feed it and you just get bigger. Full as a tick and still hungry. Does this sound familiar?





The thought of no carbs is scary (that's the addiction controlling your brain) I promise try this one week and let it change your life. Eat all you want, I suggest you PLAN to overeat, eat so much you won't feel deprived. The addiction should be gone in 3 days and you will discover the miracle of low carbing. If you're hungry eat, it doesn't matter if it's 9000 calories, at the very worst, you will not gain weight, at the best you will lose massively. Try it one week.





I *thought* I had a healthy diet, low fat, high carb, adequate protein %26amp; kept getting sicker and fatter. I started Atkins over 5 years ago just to get my appetite under control. I am disabled and can't exercise %26amp; I didn't think it was possible to LOSE weight without exercise (which was how I always controlled my weight before I was disabled) or hunger (I never believed in low calorie diets) I started Atkins (didn't weigh first) and my tight clothes got huge quick (or I shrunk) I have never tried to lose weight and I still lost weight without trying, just making different choices. I can't worry about my weight until my health is better, but with low carb balancing my hormones, I am starting to heal. My cholesterol %26amp; triglycerides are now perfect (they were dangerously high with a low fat diet before).





Simple carbs are addictive and can be disastrous to our health. The best way to break the addiction is NO carbs for 3 days. Make a huge batch of deviled eggs and eat one every time you want ';something'; have huge omelets for breakfast %26amp; brunch, with bacon, a lil onion, peppers, mushrooms %26amp; cheese. Pork chops for lunch. Get pork rinds and eat them with tuna salad or make an avocado/mayo/cayenne dip with pork rinds. Steak %26amp; crab legs with hot butter for dinner. Make a huge sugar free cheese cake for dessert have it with every meal and as a snack. Eat so much you won't feel deprived of anything. By the fourth day, your addiction will be gone and you can start making healthy choices.





You will lose more body fat eating protein and fat (don't eat protein alone) than not eating AT ALL. To lose weight fast eat all you want but nothing but meat, eggs, healthy oils, mayo, butter and half an avocado a day (you'll need added potassium). Keep the calories high and the fat percentage high, at least 65% of calories. Adding in green vegetables %26amp; some cheese will continue weight loss but at a slower pace.





You can start adding 5 carbs per day every 4 days til you gain weight, then subtract 15 carbs from that total per day. That would give you your personal carb level for losing weight (everyone is different and it depends on how active you are.) As long as you remain %26lt;9 carbs per hour, you will maintain insulin control, and shouldn't gain weight.





If you starve yourself by lowering calories lower than are needed for the body to function, your body will freak out and will want to store every ounce in case it doesn't get nourished again. You need to give it adequate nourishment so it doesn't slow your metabolism down to adjust for lower calories.





Simple carbohydrates (sugar, flour, bread, cereal, pasta, potatoes, rice) triggers insulin which can store the calories you eat into fat. The more protein you eat the more the fat burning hormone glucagon is released. The more carbohydrate you eat the more the fat storage hormone insulin is released.





High insulin levels unbalance other hormones. Controlling your insulin level will balance out other hormones %26amp; allow human growth hormone (HGH) to be produced naturally so you will gain lean muscle even even without exercise.How can I work up the self-control necessary for sustained weight loss?
Loosing that much weight can seem like a pretty steep hill to climb! It鈥檚 all about finding a plan that is sensible, healthy and that teaches you how to make changes to your eating habits that you can stick with, even AFTER you鈥檝e reached your goal.





Here are a few tips to make the journey easier.





1. Take it easy. Losing weight too fast won鈥檛 stay off for long. Aim for no more than 3 pounds per week and be happy with 1 or 陆, it鈥檚 all progress! If you lose too fast you鈥檙e losing muscle, not the fat that you need to lose.


2. One step at a time. Focus on losing 5-10 pounds, when you reach that goal, work on the next 5-10 pounds.


3. Find emotional support. Someone you can talk with about your challenges.


4. Get active. Weight loss is ALWAYS more successful when it鈥檚 accompanied by exercise. Even if you simply walk, it helps burn calories. Ask a friend to exercise with you.


5. Find a healthy weight loss plan. One that fits your lifestyle. Personally, I recommend Sensei For Weight Loss, but I鈥檓 biased. Any plan you choose should fit the way you live, not the other way around. The more it鈥檚 tailored to you, the more success you鈥檒l have.


6. Consider professional help. Many insurance plans cover visits to a Registered Dietitian (RD). Many plans also cover gym memberships. Here you can talk with a trainer who can tell you what exercises are best and how to do them.





Once you get on your way, you find that you feel like a whole new person.

*Spend some quiet alone time every day imagining yourself looking exactly the way you want to look--do NOT focus on how you look now, but on how you are going to look in the future when you achieve your goal. See yourself already looking that way.





*Write down your diet/exercise schedule at least one week in advance. Stick with your schedule.





*Set weight loss goals with time-limits in your mind, and write these down, too (you can do some online research to help you keep these goals ambitious but realistic at the same time). For instance, you have said lose 100 lbs in one year. That's roughly 8-9 lbs per month. Focus on the goal!





*Try to eat six times per day instead of three. That may sound crazy, but this will keep your metabolism revving higher--which is exactly what you need to lose weight. Eat every two hours until you've eaten six times, even when you don't feel hungry at a meal time. You won't be able to stuff yourself this way.





*Replace all of those sugary drinks and foods with fresh fruits and Juicy Juice or 100% fruit smoothies. Eat any fruits you want, it doesn't matter.





*Give yourself one ';day off'; every week when, on that one day, you eat whatever you want to eat whenever you want to, even if it means McDonald's or Snickers bars. That may sound crazy again, but if you have this one day off it always gives you something to look forward to as your reward for being disciplined the other six days of the week. Make this day off the same day of the week every week.

I'm no expert %26amp; I've never lost a major amount of weight, but my advice would be to just stay away from temptation. Avoid unhealthy restaurants, the vending machines, %26amp; the snack food aisles.
