10 Beliefs You Need to Lose to Lose Weight

10) No, you won't end up looking like some Hollywood star.

We only get one body and we are stuck with it even it we don't like it. But you can always make it look great. Concentrate on making a healthy strong and fit you instead of wishing you looked like someone else. You don't have to be perfect to be attractive and a strong, fit body as well as the self-confidence it brings can make any person attractive.

9) It is better to be toned and weigh more than to be soft and flabby and weigh less.

The sleek firm bodies we admire have a high ratio of toned muscle tissue and a low percentage of body fat. You will be a much smaller person and will be stronger and have more energy. So, don't look to the scales to give your a magical number, but look at your total body composition instead.

8) You need to do the right exercise.

Forget long, slow, repetitive old fashioned activities like walking, jogging or cycling. They are great as part of an active lifestyle but will not give you a strong, lean and firm body. You need to be doing a proper exercise program that contains mostly strength training exercise along with a small amount of interval training. That is the 21st Century way to achieve your fitness and weight loss goals.
