Why question someone’s “reason” or “purpose” for losing weight?
Well, I’m not trying to “question” anyone’s goals and dreams. However, over the past half century, I have had the opportunity to observe the setting of these goals and the motivations behind them, including myself, and I have some thoughts on the subject of proper motives, or causes, for weight loss. In part, these conclusions are based on the many failures and few successes I’ve seen.
While I’m happy to know of someone who is concerned about their health and happiness and willing to do something about it, I worry that many people lack the knowledge or motivation to achieve their weight loss goals. fail or because of an undefined sense of purpose.
Obviously, the numbers (statistics) show a definite relationship of weight loss to health in general. However, what exactly does losing weight do for a person? What can happen to people with a body mass index of 25 or higher, who are classified as overweight and obese, when they lose weight?
It has been shown statistically that those in the categories of “overweight” or “obese” face an increased risk of heart disease and insulin resistance syndrome, diabetes, stroke, high blood pressure, liver disease, gallstones, and sleep apnea. . All of these conditions, many of which are fatal in the worst case, also have their own complications. It is also not uncommon to find a combination of these conditions in overweight and obese individuals, thus exponentially increasing the overall threats to health and happiness.
Given these simple facts, it is easy and very natural to conclude that in obese and overweight people, losing weight at any cost is worth the potential benefits in health, quality of life, and longevity. In the face of this trivia of information, many people would assume that any weight loss program that “works” would deliver these benefits and improvements.
However, I see two questions.
Are certain weight loss programs, systems, or methods more likely to deliver all three?
Is it possible that some weight loss methods create new problems of their own?
The answer to both questions is, “yes.”
Due to a lack of knowledge of the problem or solution, many people, naturally, focus on their immediate perceived problem (I can’t wear my old clothes. It’s getting harder to do things. I need to lose weight for myself.) What you need to do is a) health – whatever that is.) address the entirety of current and potential ailments outlined above instead of viewing weight loss as a long-term, life-changing solution. Often, this single focused goal is not strong enough to help maintain motivation.
However, realizing all the benefits of a healthy weight loss program, including delaying death and reducing the negative aspects of aging, is more motivating than depriving yourself of your favorite foods for long periods of time in order to lose weight. Can provide a strong degree of. a dress size.
In hopes of “losing a few pounds” or losing a lot of pounds, many people resort to the use of all kinds of fad diets, diet pills, weight loss supplements, and chasing the elusive promises of every new idea that pops up. Pop up on TV or in supermarket tabloids. However, most of these have more basis in the economic health of the company selling them than in the physical health of the user. The claims seem good, and sadly the claims, although based in fact, are inflated to create an item or method that may help someone on a healthy weight loss program such as this weight loss program Should be
What’s also sad is that these get-thin-quick programs, in addition to diverting public attention from real solutions that can actually help lead to better overall health and a reduction in future health risks, are actually either dangerous or dangerous. Attitudes and practices may promote and in extreme cases, they may have health risks of their own or may simply add their own risks to the list. Many people seek to meet the goal of “weight loss” by excessively manipulating the body’s normal functions or reducing essential nutrition in order to combat other problems. Worse, in addition to being ineffective, many weight loss remedies can actually lead to weight gain.
For example, many diets call for severe restrictions in the amount and type of food eaten. The fact is that reducing calories below a certain point can cause the body to lower its basal metabolic rate, thus learning to survive on even fewer calories than before. Since basal metabolic rate may be the key to healthy weight loss, doesn’t it sound like a good thing!
To make things worse, when the dieter gets fed up with eating the label on the can instead of the contents of the can and goes back to old eating habits, it will take fewer calories to pack on fat than before. This often leads the dieter to gain weight, then to try another diet, usually with the same results. The term for this is yo-yo dieting and it usually results in weight gain rather than weight loss. Additionally, restricting the types of foods allowed also limits access to essential nutrients, creating additional potential health problems.
Ready for some good news?
It has long been known that increasing physical activity, either through lifestyle changes or planned exercise programs, together with some changes in daily diet, i.e. healthy eating habits, can result in healthy weight loss. Additionally, exercise and healthy eating habits bring with them benefits to health and fitness levels.
Through regular, moderate exercise and healthy eating rather than fad diets and diet pills, anyone can improve their chances for a longer, healthier, happier and more rewarding life. It is also cheap.
