They don't work - at least not in the way that most of us hope for when looking for yet another weight loss miracle.
Though many diets de jour do have some amazing short-term results, the quick fix is just as likely to reverse itself back to square one or worse.
No, the best road to weight loss comes from good, old-fashioned discipline.
Though you may think it sounds too simple and unexciting to function, lets have a look at some basic tips that you can integrate into your life that will help you achieve permanent weight loss along with the wonderful byproduct of overall better health.
Start off by starting off.
That's right.
We often continue the search for the easy answers and forget about implementing the easy to do.
Get up, get out and get going.
There is no replacing some kind of regular exercise in your life to make permanent weight loss and improved health a reality.
Make a simple and attainable initial goal of exercising for just 10 minutes a day, every other day.
By keeping your exercise goals easily within reach during this initial phase, you are far more likely to make it a regular part of your life.
As small as a 10-minute time commitment seems, it is every bit as important for your mind as it is for your body.
By living up to this doable exercise commitment time and time again, it will soon become almost instinctive for you to continue on this path.
The immediate benefits will be an increased metabolism (crucial in weight loss), but perhaps more importantly, a break-down and eventual elimination of your resistance to exercise.
As with anything in life, the best results are gotten from keeping things as simple and straightforward as possible.
Find things in your life that you already do as a matter of course.
If you drive to work and walk from the parking lot to your office, for example, make a point of parking your car in a space just a little farther away.
Increase that distance a little every week.
Soon enough the distance will be sufficiently long that weight loss will result almost without you noticing.
And, you will have essentially "tricked" yourself into making this a part of your life.
Even for those of us that are a bit more physically limited, there are plenty of everyday solutions all around us.
Throughout the course of the day we sit down and sit up a number of times without giving it a second thought.
Start to give it a second thought and it will add to the overall exercise mix that will help you with your long term weight loss goals.
Each time you sit up or sit down do it a second or third time, and then build up from there.
If you think that you will appear odd and quirky to your work colleagues, at the beginning do it just at home.
Challenge yourself to look for excuses to increase this habit.
Get up and get an extra glass of water or change the T.
V.
channel manually upon occasion.
After awhile, you'll find that these little bits and pieces will come to you naturally.
Again, just start with something simple and easy to do.
You'll be amazed at how easily these chunks of exercise beget more.
Your path to better health and weight loss is already part of your life - just do more of it.
