Don’t Make Weight Loss and Diet Difficult

The problem with anything that is too difficult in our busy lifestyles is the fact that eventually we will stop doing what we perceive to be too hard and look for alternatives that are easier.

It’s not that we are inclined to give up when the going gets tough; It is because there are generally easier alternatives these days due to the advances that have been made over the years and in particular with weight loss there have been many advances in both nutrition and fitness training. So get ready to lose weight!

Unfortunately most diets are just too difficult for people to maintain for any length of time and that is why the failure rate is so high.

Where there are two alternatives for you to lose weight (provided of course they are genuine weight loss opportunities) then you should generally look towards the easier option as this will be the one that you will be able to continue using long enough to get your desired results. There is an idiot proof diet.

You should not feel as though you are on a diet because that in itself often means you are working hard to achieve something.

Just the word diet in itself instantly strikes fear into the minds of many people because so many times in the past they have tried various different diets and not had any long term success.

You should think more in terms of making small adjustments to your lifestyle as this is a better alternative than to think you are on a ‘diet’.

For many people ‘dieting’ is rejected in their minds eye as being something unpleasant that is hard to endure.
Improving your nutrition and fitness is not nearly as difficult to maintain as ‘dieting’

Focus on lifestyle changes rather than a reduction in food and you won’t feel like you are having to give something up that you probably enjoy.

The more difficult you make your diet the less likely you are to stick to it and succeed.

If you are constantly having to think about your diet throughout the day and keeping account of all the foods that you eat and the calories that you are counting then it becomes very difficult to maintain for the long-term and eventually those types of diets result in failure for most people.

By keeping your weight loss program simple you are going to achieve a lot better results because it allow you to get on with enjoying everyday life without having to think about food and cutting back on your food for all of your waking hours.

Even mention of the word diet has negative effects for many people because it immediately places restrictions on their lifestyle.

There are enough things to contend with in modern day life without having to constantly keep a track of what you’re eating although you do need to be aware of the types of food and the portions that you are consuming because this is what determines whether you gain or lose weight.

Healthy weight loss can be achieved quite simply by just reducing by small amounts the portions that you have at each meal even if you don’t change the types of foods you are eating.

This is generally the best way for people to start dieting as it doesn’t require anything that is too difficult and too hard to maintain for enough time to see results.

Once people see results from the weight-loss program then there is an incentive to carry on and do better and particularly if these results have come about by using simple techniques that haven’t burdened the enjoyment of life.

Before you start on any diets consider the consequences and how it will impose on your life and whether you have the type of personality that will allow you to maintain what is required for that particular program.

Spain Offers Some Of The Largest Lottery Prizes The World Over

Spain has a quite complex set of lottery games. It’s probably best known outside of Spain for the Christmas ‘El Gordo’ draw, which usually has a prize pot of over two billion Euros.

But Spain has other lottery games. From the big special draws down to the more common weekly games.

The Big Draws

El Gordo de Navidad (the Christmas game) is just one of the big draws that Spain runs. It used to be the only one, until the jumbo Summer El Gordo was added. Then the huge January El Nino draw. So there is now a big draw every month.

All the big draws use an unusual approach. For Christmas El Gordo the balls each have a five digit number from 00000 to 84999. A single ball is then drawn for each winning number, and further ball drawn from a different machine to match the number to a prize.

You can see a brief clip of the draw here:-

Tickets are pre-printed for every possible number. Which means there is a limit to how many people can own each number. Once they are sold out, there are no more tickets.

These are great games to play in a syndicate because sourcing tickets outside of Spain is not easy. And increasing your chances of winning is good too. You can join my favourite Spanish special draws syndicate here.

El Gordo Christmas

This is the oldest of the big draws, and the most popular. It is drawn on 22 December every year, and Spain slows to a halt to watch the big draw. The prize pot is typically more than 2 billion Euros, with thousands of big prizes paid out. The overall odds of winning something are 1 in 7.

El Nino

This is like a ’second chance’ draw to a lot of Spaniards as it is drawn on 6 Jan each year. If you only win small on the Christmas El Gordo, you can just put that money straight into El Nino for another try. Chances of winning a prize with this one are 1 in 3. It’s not as popular as El Gordo but still generates a prize pot of well over 800 million Euros.

El Gordo Summer

Drawn on July 6, the Summer El Gordo has a smaller but very impressive prize pot of 140 million Euros. Like El Nino the odds of winning a prize here are also 1 in 3.

More Monthly Draws

There is then a jumbo game every other month that the 3 big ones do not cover. The prize fund is not as big but they still create around 80 million Euros of prizes.

Weekly Draws

On top of the big draws, Spain also runs more normal lottery draws. There is the Bonolotto which is a normal 6 balls from 49 draw. this is drawn 4 times per week. Then there is ‘El Gordo de La Primitiva’ (not not the same as the Christmas El Gordo), where you select 5 balls from 54 plus a bonus ball. This is drawn every Sunday.
