A Permanent Weight Loss Solution Is Best For Overall Health

By Diane Turner


Many people learn about a new diet almost weekly. It may be something discovered by a scientist or healthcare professional or an innovative sensationalized product endorsed by a celebrity. Usually, advertisers will choose someone who is known for their battle with the bulge and one a person sees the before and after shots, out goes their credit card. Six to eight weeks later, they may have great results or none at all but within a year, the bulge is back with a little extra. Those who have an ongoing battle to stay fit find that a permanent weight loss solution is the best measure.

If one were to look carefully, they would realize that it is possible to maintain a normal weight. It takes looking at strengths and weaknesses, along with educating oneself about food intake and activity. While it takes nothing to buy a product that will eliminate excess water from the body and mistake it for fat, it takes facing the truth about daily habits.

One habit a lot of people have is eating at restaurants more than once a week. Although casual restaurants may offer more meal options than fast food joints, they are the lesser of the two evils. The majority of the food served at restaurants is loaded with preservatives, excess oils, and sugar. These are the main three things that can lead to fast weight gain.

While ordering a broiled protein may be better than fried or choosing a green salad over a creamy soup may save some calories, dining at these establishments more than twice a week is too much for anyone trying to battle the bulge. Another area of concern is portion size. Many of these places serve more food than what is recommended by nutritionists.

Another fact about dining out is that the portions are much larger than dietary recommendations. Although some people may try to bypass this by making it the only large meal of the day, sometimes it is consumed too late to burn off the damage with exercise. This holds especially true for those who have alcohol or dessert with their meal.

Those who are dealing with health concerns may need ample amounts of protein or carbohydrates in their diet as part of their recovery. In these instances, converting to a vegan diet or anything that restricts nutrients is not recommended. However, eliminating things like excess salt or sugar and choosing unsaturated oils for cooking is easier than most people think.

Getting nutrition and fitness information is free. Nothing in a TV infomercial featuring a celebrity shares anything that most people do not know about fitness. Although buying the latest gadget may seem fun, it may be a waste of money that can go toward fresh eating habits. What some do not realize is that they can get equivalent exercise from walking around the block.

Most people have been conditioned to think that the most effective workout is an intense one. Fitness experts say that regular moderate workouts are better than doing something strenuous once a week or less. Moving at a gradual pace guarantees continuity and the excess pounds will melt faster. Also, there is less pain and muscle strain, so this is encouraging for many individuals to continue.
