How To Achieve Weight Loss

By Frank Hayes


Doctors everywhere inform the public that being too heavy may cause some unfavorable results in the bodies of victims. If your doctor recommends weight loss, you need to take it very seriously. BMI (body mass index) is a formula that determines how heavy you are compared to your height. The outcome usually indicates whether you need to go through some loss of weight.

Working out is the most obvious way of doing this. This is especially because exercise is a necessary part of a healthy body but lacks in the lifestyles of many people. Exercise helps to burn fat and replaces it with muscle. Ask your doctor whether your body is fit enough for exercise. If he allows you to go ahead, get a fitness trainer who will guide you through physical training.

An alternative way of going about it is counting your calories. We usually pile on the pounds by eating more calories than we burn. To reverse this, you need to take fewer calories than you are burning.

Putting large portions of food in your plate encourages you to eat more food than your body needs. Controlling your portions by reducing the portion of carbohydrates and proteins and increasing that of vegetables can be the solution to your problem. You will realize that when you put a smaller portion of food on your plate and eat it slowly, you will be satisfied as much, and much healthier.

While you are doing any of these, the best way to achieve results is to look for an accountability partner. This is someone who you will update weekly or after every few days. They should also hold you accountable for everything you do to achieve your goals. This is good as it gives you morale.

These methods may not be effective or possible for some people. The doctor could prescribe medication for such people. Another option he could have for such a patient is surgery, reducing the size of the stomach to decrease the size of the portion that it can hold at one go.

It is important to note that for any weight loss program to succeed, the first requirement is commitment. You should be committed to permanently change your diet as well as exercise habits. Commitment is the only formula that can guarantee you that the relief you have achieved lasts for a long time.
