How To Take Off Weight With The Best Life Lifestyle Diet

The Best Life Diet program is a popular lifestyle weight loss program. It is famous as one of the diet programs endorsed by Oprah Winfrey. Determined users of this plan may expect steady weight loss and better health over time. It is fairly easy to follow, with only three stages, few restrictions, and steady lifestyle changes that enhance weight loss.

The first stage of the diet is called Phase One, and lasts up to a month. During this phase, dieters slowly begin to exercise and change their eating habits. Dieters are encouraged to eat three meals and one snack each day, avoid eating within two hours before bed, and take vitamin supplements daily. Unlike some other diet programs, the first phase of the Best Life plan is more flexible and gives dieters a greater chance at succeeding with this plan.

Phase Two of the plan lasts at least one month or longer, depending on how well your diet is proceeding. During this phase, dieters continue a healthy approach to eating and increased exercise. Dieters also face some of the underlying problems that prevent weight loss, such as emotional eating and appetite control issues. Dieters monitor their weight loss with weekly weigh-ins and develop healthy diet and exercise habits that let them reach their target weight.

Phase Three is the lifetime maintenance phase, a phase found in many lifestyle weight loss programs. During this phase, dieters try to cut more unhealthy foods from their diets and consume healthier, unprocessed foods. People can still have all kinds of foods, even the foods that are not considered "healthy," in moderation. This sensible eating plan allows people to have the foods they want without feeling guilty or deprived. Dieters also keep up with exercise in order to maintain a healthy weight.

One of the best things about the Best Life plan is the number of foods that you are allowed to eat. During Phases One and Two, few foods are actually prohibited, but there are six types of foods that you must avoid. These foods are sodas, foods containing trans-fats, deep fried foods, white bread, regular pasta made with refined flour (whole grain pasta is allowed), and high-fat dairy products. Dieters can eat these foods again during the third phase, but for up to eight weeks during the first two phases, these foods are all restricted.

The Best Life plan offers a reasonable and sensible plan for losing weight, but even the best diet programs can't work if dieters are unable to stick to them. The toughest aspect of this and other diet plans is staying committed and being able to permanently overcome the psychological obstacles that prevent taking off weight. This is why weight loss hypnotherapy is a perfect complement to any diet program. Hypnotherapy is extremely effective as a weight loss tool because it treats the underlying issues that keep people from losing weight. 

One problem hypnosis therapy is excellent at treating is emotional eating. People develop the habit of emotional eating when they consume food in response to their emotions, such as when they feel angry or sad. This forms a "conditioned" mechanism so people tend to overeat when they experience trigger emotions, even when they aren't truly hungry. Hypnotherapy works by helping the unconscious mind break the association between food and our feelings. When we no longer feel unconsciously compelled to eat, we experience natural appetite suppression and can lose weight effectively.

Motivation is another area in which hypnosis can help a struggling dieter. Hypnosis therapy prevents dieters from forgetting their desire to take weight off and keeps them dedicated. Some of the questions people on the Best Life plan are instructed to think about are why they are overweight, what their reasons for wanting to lose weight are, and what has kept them from losing weight and keeping it off. A well designed hypnosis therapy program will also tackle these issues to make people unconsciously and consciously feel a duty to lose weight. Hypnosis helps people build a positive attitude and stay on track with weight loss goals.

In the Best Life plan, the keys to success for weight loss are in portion control, selecting healthy and satisfying foods, and getting regular physical activity. These habits help people naturally take weight off. You can get this natural weight reduction through hypnosis therapy by learning techniques from a good weight loss hypnosis CD program. When used with the Best Life plan, hypnosis therapy is powerful tool for weight loss that can help many people become fit and slim for life.
