You've tried a million different diets, and the number on the scale still won't budge. You're frustrated, depressed, and ready to give in to the fact that you'll always be overweight. Well, I'm about to let you in on 15 principles that separate fit people from those who perpetually struggle with extra weight. Incorporate the ideology of the fit into your daily routine and watch the weight fall off - and never diet again!

#1 Fit People Do Not Stave Themselves

The diet industry has brainwashed consumers into believing that in order to lose weight, people need spend their hard earned cash, and physically suffer in some shape or form. The truth is, dieting is extremely counterproductive to the proper functioning of your metabolism, and is detrimental to any weight loss effort.

After being deprived of food and vital nutrients, the body retaliates by holding on to every bit of extra weight it carries. When deprived of fuel (food), the human body's first reaction is to shut down and conserve energy (fat). Sadly, this is the primary reason why most people end up piling on more weight after each deprivation diet, and it's the reason why fit people refuse to diet.

Fad diets are formulated for the consumer to achieve a "temporary" success, followed by the weight being regained. The consumer is then left desperate to find another quick fix. The diet industry thrives on this vicious cycle, because it keeps their customers coming back!

#2 Fit People Eat Their Fruits and Vegetables

I cannot stress this enough: if you're not getting your fruits and veggies, say goodbye to your dreams of being slim and trim. Incorporating colorful fruits and vegetables into your daily food intake is the most important aspect of being healthy, inside and out. Without the vitamins and roughage that fruits and vegetables supply, you will retain water weight, have a poor complexion, and your bowels will become less efficient at eliminating fats and toxins from the body.
