Skinny Is As Skinny Does!

By Henry John

It would be great to be skinny, wouldn't it? But are you frustrated by a diet regime? Have you been on a diet only for the pounds to pile back on again? Is there some great secret about how to get skinny?

What most people do when they want to get skinny is to go on a diet. Usually they are influenced by the latest fad diet. Low carb, low calorie, GI, the list is endless. Eventually they decide which one they are going to go with and because they have taken the decision, they put their complete trust in the diet of their choice.

Too many diets make it look too easy. You can lose pounds in a trice, and you don't have to lift a finger. It's very convincing. It appeals to the lazy side of your nature. Do you follow your gut instinct or do you allow yourself to get hooked?

It's true that diets will help you lose weight, but there is a very heavy price to pay. That price is the fact that after having finished your diet, the weight you have just spent time and money losing, will come back again. It's a depressing thought, isn't it? The problem is that diets deliver short-term weight loss: nothing wrong with that except who wants short-term weight loss? Why would anybody in their right mind be happy for the weight to come back again? Nobody!

The thing about losing weight and getting skinny is that you have got to want to make it happen. If your resolve is weak, than it won't be successful. The other thing is that successful long-term weight loss only comes when you make change.

If you want to make change, the best way is to learn new habits, slim habits. By learning new habits you can change your behavior and achieve permanent weight loss. It's not difficult to do and the rewards for making change are huge. It will enable you to say goodbye to diets forever...what could be better than that?
