Weight loss in the air...
Weight-loss is on everyone's mind nowadays. From movie stars dangling their six-packs before us to doctors warning us about everything from diabetes to cancer, it is no secret that millions of Indians are aspiring to lose weight.
Eating lesser and lesser
The first thing people do when they embark on a weight loss regimen is to eat less. People start skipping meals, eating less of everything and predictably, within a week or two they become so bored and depressed that they lose heart and drop out. And in desperation, they commit their hard-earned money to fashionable weight-loss clinics and dangerous fad diets in the hope that someone can lose their weight for them. This, as most of us know, almost never helps.
The plateau problem
Another advice that nutritionists have been giving and which people willfully ignore is the simple advice - You must eat well to lose weight. The bottom-line is this - when you starve your body by skipping meals and eating less, your body goes into a starvation mode. In this mode, your body stubbornly holds on to all the fat in your body and does not let go of it no matter how less you eat and how much you
exercise.
Many people have experienced this. You start your weight-loss
regimen in earnest and rapidly lose weight for a few weeks. But in the weeks to come you are dismayed to find that the same strategy is resulting in hardly any weight loss.
The only scientific and proven way to lose weight
Meanwhile, nutritionists around the world have been shouting to everyone who would care to listen that study upon study has shown that the only thing that has ever worked when it comes to weight loss is healthy eating and plenty of exercise. People put on weight because of their poor lifestyle which includes getting little or no exercise and eating anything in front of them. Nutritionists say that only a reversal of this lifestyle and a switch back to a healthy lifestyle will help people lose weight and keep it off forever.
