Weight Loss Options Reviewed

Posted on December 16th, 2008 in General by admin

There aren’t many things that people are happy about losing but when it comes to weight they would love to give it away. There are more diets, pills, potions, and surgeries to remedy the problem than we can count. Let’s look at the at the conventional ways available to lose weight.

The most common is a combination watching your intake in comparison to what your burn off. In other words you need to find the right combination of diet and exercise. The theory behind this should work except for two problems. The first is that people with good intentions start that gym membership and then slowly after a few weeks stop going. The second problem which I consider more monumental is the fact that you can only withhold eating too much for a certain amount of time. If you are hungry you are hungry and will soon give in to the cravings.

 

 Surgery is an option but it should be approached carefully and usually as a last resort. While it can offer the quick fix weight loss solution a person may want the necessary lifestyle changes still must be made to maintain what the desired weight. There are pills as well and for the most part I would be more wary of these than surgery. Many can contain stimulants which I personally would not want. Patients still need to watch what they eat in as they are told to stay away from the typical fatty foods.

So there are your options each vary in effectiveness and risk. The bottom line with any option is chosen is that a lifestyle change needs to be made. The problem is dramatic changes are hard so I suggest baby steps. Cut out one or two bad things and add one or two things.

 If you eat fast food a lot. Scale it down a little at first maybe even eat once or twice less a week. Now add something good. Add fruit or healthy nuts (not salted, etc) to your diet. Try and cut down sodas, or at least change to diet. Choose whole wheat breads. Go to the gym just half an hour twice a week to start. These things may sound small but it’s the baby steps that will get you started and I believe keep you on track longer.

Green Tea Weight Loss Diet – Fasting For Weight Loss

If you’re asking yoursself “how can I lose weight in less than a week” fasting is one of the quickest ways to do it. Because your not taking in many calories the only thing you can do is lose weight because every time you move you’ll burn more calories off then you replenish.

Fasting is good for quick weight loss, but if you need to lose a significant amount of weight fasting isn’t a healthy alternative for a good diet and steady exercise. In fact if your looking to lose weight you should consider going on a healthy diet before taking an extreme measure such as fasting. But if you are fasting to lose weight, for your fasting diet to be effective you have to remember not to pig out once you get off of the diet.

 

A common practice for fasting participants after a fasting period is finished is to have a giant feast in celebration of a successful fasting period. You can throw a feast and enjoy yourself once, but you shouldn’t be feasting on all of the fatty foods and junk food that you enjoy for weeks and days after your fasting period is over. If you do that you will probably gain more weight then you lost.

To effectively lose weight and maintain your weight loss you need to cutback on your calorie intake and start exercising on a regular basis. If you “don’t have” time for exercise, cutting back on your calorie intake will be sufficient enough for you to lose a little bit of weight. But to truly burn calories you need to exercise three to five times a week.

If your not in shape at all and never exercise, a light 1-1.5 mile walk will help you burn lots of calories and decrease your weight over time. And because it will become easier over time it will be easier to do, so you will be able to do it for along time and keep your new weight. If you want to get into even better shape, you can do strength training exercise(lifting weights, push-ups, etc…) or you can add aerobics into your fitness routine.
