Healthy Weight Loss: How Not To Achieve It

For anyone wanting or needing to lose weight, the number of weight loss programs is unbelievable. If you don’t do some background research you can easily end up wasting your money on a program that doesn’t work. Many diets and weight loss plans have no or very little scientific support. The sad part is that all of these plans suggest that their particular plan is the best way to achieve healthy weight loss. The truth of the mater is that any given plan may help you lose weight, but is it healthy and does it sustain your weight loss?

As you search for a healthy weight loss plan you’ll see how many of these programs entice you by claiming fast weight loss. Why? Because we all want things to happen quickly. If you see a diet saying you will lose weight in 7 days, the truth of the matter is, yes you may well lose weight in 7 days , but only 2lb of any weight lost will be fat. Any other weight lost during the 7 days will be either water, muscle or both. You will come across many thoughts and ideas about how to lose weight and some of them are distinctly unhealthy and will not only cause health problems but may also cause you to gain weight Here are some examples

How about those fad diets? Do you really think that you can achieve healthy weight loss by following these? A fad diet such as the Hollywood Cookie diet, juice fasting or the Grapefruit diet and follow it for a week. At best you will lose 5/6 lbs that will go straight back on the minute you return to normal eating, at worst you will feel really ill, possibly very light headed and/or headaches as your body tries to adjust to this unhealthy regime. Don’t try to lose weight this way.

What about your eating habits? If you want to have a plan that promotes healthy weight loss you have to eat the right foods. But some of the idea surrounding when and what to eat can hurt your attempts to lose weight. Eat no more than three times a day and do not eat after 6 p.m. Do not eat real food, focus on protein bars and pre-packaged foods. Eating smaller meals more often is now thought to be the way forward and protein bars are for emergencies only. Nothing can replace “real” food as this is what the body recognizes.

Beware of any weight loss plan that instructs you to make a big change in the amount of food you eat. If you are told to dramatically reduce your calorie intake think twice about it! Low calorie diets are now thought to be dangerous and cause the body to go into adrenal stress. This will not help you to achieve healthy weight lose weight and may even cause you to gain weight.

One final word about when you eat and what you eat. It has to do with breakfast, the most important part of the day when our body needs nutrition. I’m sure you’ve been told to not eat breakfast. Have two cups of coffee and a low-fat muffin. High carbohydrate breakfast and stimulant drinks such as coffee will play havoc with your metabolism and give you a very bad start to the day whether you are on a weight loss diet or not. Also your low fat muffin may well contain hydrogenated fat which is very bad for your health. Be smart and know what you are doing if you want to achieve healthy weight loss.
