Weight Loss
- By:Michelle Johnson
When it comes to weight loss creativity and innovation, body fat wonders never cease to amaze you. There are so many diets available that it can become difficult to stay focused on a weight loss diet plan that you can stick too.
More and more people are facing the problem of obesity and a lot of them are resorting to weight loss supplements. You see a lot of diet and weight loss products that claim that they have found THE SOLUTION to your weight loss problem. Whether it’s a Low Carb, Low GI Diet, A choice of diet pills or “natural” weight loss pills, diet shakes, or exercise equipment, we’ve all seen the fantastic claims people including celebrities make about losing tons of weight AND how they can show you how to do the same thing. We all know that 99% of the time it's not true. It is mainly a marketing ad to try their product.
At the beginning of a weight loss program, the person has probably been sedentary for some time and has experienced an overall deterioration in the body's ability to deal with, or react favorably to, physical activity. It's interesting to note that the Atkins diet, and almost any other weight loss program, diet drink, diet pill, fitness coach, you name it, includes exercise as being important to their product being effective. Another important standard is that your weight loss diet plan should fit your lifestyle, not the other way around.
According to the National Institutes of Health and the American College of Sports Medicine, one to two pounds a week is considered safe and appropriate weight loss. Because 10 pounds of body fat in a week is out of the question. Weight loss will be the healthiest, safest and most likely to be permanent if you set your goal for about two pounds per week (and even if you lose only a single pound each week, that is healthy progress).
Suppose our 260 pound subject loses four full pounds instead of the recommended two pounds per week. As you learned during weight loss, do not deprive yourself, instead take the necessary steps to take off that one or two pounds and get back to the weight that is right for you.
Remember to watch what you eat, smaller portions and exercise and the weight will come off. Take it one day at a time and you will be successful.
