Kirstie Alley Talks Weight Loss With Oprah. Useful Facts to Know

Kirstie Alley appeared on Oprah again, to share her latest weight loss roller coaster ride. She and Oprah are not alone in their personal struggle with weight. It is a fact that over sixty five percent of Americans are overweight and childhood obesity is on the rise. We have all been so overwhelmed with diet and weight loss information, most of which is not worth the paper it’s printed on.

Diet fads come and go as we search for the magic formula. The majority of dieters continue to make the same mistakes over and over again. Weight loss requires a lifestyle change and most are unable or unwilling to follow through. There are three main mistakes that prevent permanent weight loss.

1. The Diet myth

Americans want a fast and easy answer, and there are to many publishers that are all to willing to sell them a dream. The book stores are full of diet books that profess their magic. Low fat, no fat, no carbs and the list goes on, and on, and on. These diets seem to work for the short term, partially because people cut the garbage from their daily menu and stick to a plan. Days later weakness sets in and with one mistake they give up the diet entirely.

Fad diets sell books, but the truth is, simple math; Calories in minus calories out. If you take in more calories than you burn you gain weight, when you burn more than you eat, you loose weight. If the dieter would cut from their daily menu, most of the high fat and processed foods, and substitute them with fruit or vegetables, the results would be effective. Add in some moderate exercise and you have the answer. Kirstie Alley on Oprah last week, reveled that she has a new weight loss plan in the development stage. Her plan will include a lifestyle change.

2. The Diet as a sacrifice

Human nature causes us to seek pleasure and move away from pain. When we think of the word, diet, we automatically think sacrifice and giving up fun and pleasurable foods. We latch on to the latest diet fad that seems the least difficult to commit to. After having some success losing weight we return to the bad habit of eating for pleasure and not for nutrition.

If we would consume the food we enjoy in moderation it would lesson the return of the weight gain. Again, a lifestyle change is needed.

3. The Diet means change

The majority of people resent change, sometimes the mere mention of it results in stress and anger. A diet plan is a change in eating habits and if that change can be viewed as temporary it lessens the blow. We essentially set ourselves up to fail. Until we understand that to loose weight and keep it off we need a complete lifestyle change we will continue the pattern. It is necessary to view food as nutrition and not comfort.

When Kristie Alley unveiled her new weight loss plan on Oprah, she will surely include eating healthy, moderate exercise and a lifestyle change. The population as a whole needs to be more active, get some daily exercise. Moderate workouts are effective and can be as simple as walking or dancing. A small change in lifestyle will help to make great strides in achieving you goals. Eat healthy, drink lots of water, have enough sleep and exercise. This will give you a higher chance of losing weight and improving your health, which would result to a new, healthier you, just ask Oprah and Kirstie Alley.
