The rise in the number of fast
foods joints that have a lot of saturated fat in the meals, the use of a lot of
refined sugar in sodas and other processed foods and eating food with less
fiber have all contributed to the fact that there are more people than before
who are classified as either overweight or are obese.
A lot of other factors cause this
to happen such as genetics, overeating and as people age; the metabolism slows
down making it harder than before to burn the food that was just consumed.
The rate that a person loses
weight is commensurate to how it is gained. Rapid weight is not good advisable
since it leaves the person with lose skin and the only way to get rid of that
would require surgery.
Weight loss depends on the
condition of the person which includes weight, health, calorie-intake, age,
gender, lifestyle, stress level and routine.
Being overweight does not
necessarily make a person unhealthy. It just makes the person a bit
unfashionable. Studies have shown that people who are a bit overweight live
longer than those who have normal weight.
There is no quick or overnight solution for quick weight loss.
Nutritionists and other health
experts will say that a person’s weight with proper exercise can actually help
lose a certain number of pounds per week The best way to do this is with a low
calorie diet and an exercise plan.
The first thing a person needs to
do is to choose a diet program designed by a dietitian or another health
professional. The patient has to be evaluated before any program can be made.
The program usually consists of an eating plan and an exercise program that
does not require the use of supplements or one to purchase any expensive
fitness equipment.
The best exercise plan should
have cardiovascular and weight training exercises. This helps burn calories and
increase the muscle to fat ratio that will increase ones metabolism and lose
weight.
A good diet should have food from all the food groups.
This is made up by 2 things. The
first is carbohydrates. The food that a person consumes should have vitamins,
minerals and fiber. A lot of this can come from oats, rice, potatoes and cereals.
The best still come from vegetables and fruits since these have phytochemicals,
enzymes and micronutrients that are essential for a healthy diet.
The second is fat which can come
from mono and poly saturated food sources rather than animal fats. Since fat
contains more than double the number of calories in food, this should be taken
in small quantities to lose weight.
All diet plans are designed to
make the person induce reduced amount of calories into the body. This does not
mean that the person has to eat less. It just means that one has to eat smart
by choosing the foods that have less calories. This makes it possible for
someone to lose weight without the need to eat less.
During the course of the program,
the person should still consult with the doctor and other health experts to
monitor ones progress. There will be times that it is essential to modify the
diet plan to further lose weight.
