Over the last five months, I’ve lost 23 pounds, and I plan on continuing to lose more. I managed to achieve such significant weight loss by making some simple changes to my lifestyle and moving towards a healthier outlook. This is the largest amount of weight I’ve lost at one time, and it’s also the longest amount of time I’ve stuck with a single diet, so I’m quite proud of myself.

I think it’s much easier to stick with my diet this time because it’s making some positive changes that I feel every day. As I’m feeling better, I also have more confidence in my diet since I know I’ll be able to stick with it for an extended period of time. Here are a few tips for achieving this kind of success with your own diet.

First, I’m no longer consuming any form of artificial sugar as a part of my diet. I’ve thrown out cane sugar too, so the only sugar in my diet comes from healthy fruits and vegetables.

I’ve made the biggest effort in avoiding high fructose corn syrup, since many believe that it’s a leading cause of weight gain and diabetes.

You might think that you can avoid this substance by cutting out soda, but it’s found in many other common foods. Check the nutrition labels of your bread and ketchup, and you might be surprised to find high fructose corn syrup in the ingredients list.

My regular exercise schedule has also helped tremendously. I’m now running five days per week, constantly increasing the distances and running them in a shorter amount of time. My body needed time to adjust to this rigorous schedule, but I now feel great after a run and it certainly helps in burning calories as well.

Finally, I’ve removed diet soda from my diet. I’ve become increasingly convinced that these beverages can actually trigger weight gain despite being labeled as “diet” drinks and containing no calories.

It’s believed that the sweeteners are diet sodas actually fool your brain into thinking that you’ve just consumed a large quantity of sugar. When this happens, it causes your body to store fat in the same way that it does after a large intake of sugar. It’s always a good bet to choose a glass of water over a diet soda, even if it seems to be harmless.
