On A Diet But Not Losing Weight

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

I talked to someone today who said that they were on a diet but not losing weight. Sound familiar? I was reminded of a blog post I had back on March 19, 2008, called Dieting But Not Losing Weight which featured this NBC Today Show segment. In my Seattle weight loss and Bainbridge Island weight loss offices of Slender For Life™ I sometimes have clients that get stuck or start losing weight slowly. Often, it is because they are not following a healthy eating and exercise regime. Sometimes people are doing really well and think that if they eat less they will lose weight even faster – so they cut back and eat less. Their body goes into starvation mode and fat burning stops. Sometimes they are not exercising. Sometimes they exercise too much. Sometimes it’s a matter of eating too much healthy food. Hypnosis is an effective tool to use with any weight loss program. Self-hypnosis puts you in control of what you are eating, how much you are eating and ultimately your weight.

Becoming Slender For Life

In my book, Becoming Slender For Life, I write: In order to begin to release weight, most men and women need to consume less than 20 percent total fat calories. If you consumed 1200 calories in a day and if 20 percent of the calories were from fat, it would mean you consumed 240 fat calories. Since there are 9 calories in just one gram of fat, 240 divided by 9 equals 27 total grams of fat.

You may desire to release weight faster than this. If you reduce your fat consumption to 15 percent total fat calories, or 20 grams of fat per day at 1200 total calories, and you exercise, you may release about one to two pounds per week. At 5 to 10 percent total fat calories you will probably release about two to three pounds each week. Doing the math you can see that eating only 5 to 10 percent total fat calories is a much more motivating way to achieve results.
