The weight loss industry is a multi-billion dollar industry and
everybody is trying to jump into the bandwagon and trying to
convince you that they know what it takes to make you lose
weight. Unfortunately, this information overload has given
birth to a ton of misinformation. As such, it is best if you
start your weight loss plan by distinguishing fact from
fiction.
Weight Loss Facts and Fallacies
Skipping breakfast will make you lose weight (because you
consume less food for the day). Actually, skipping breakfast
achieves the opposite – you gain weight! Breakfast is the most
important meal of the day. It's basically what keeps you going
for the rest of the day and a missed morning meal would make
you feel hungry earlier than usual and then what? Either you'll
eat more than you should because you are extremely hungry or eat
something that's not healthy because it's the most convenient
thing your hands can grab at the moment.
Nibbles don't count. A lot of weight challenged people tend to
rationalize nibbling here and there would not make them gain
weight. Unfortunately, it does. Just like how a couple of dimes
can make a dollar, a bucketful of nibbles will be equivalent to
one full meal.
Parties are exceptions. It does not matter if it's a simple
dinner at a small Chinese restaurant, a charity ball in a
five-star hotel or a wedding reception – you are STILL not
excused from counting calories and paying strict attention to
the do's and don'ts of your diet regime. Here's food for
thought - no matter where you eat, chocolate will always be
high on sugar.
The only way to lose weight is to commit to a fitness club. If
there's a will, there's a way! Exercise, literally, is
movement. As such, going up and down the stairs, walking to and
from work or simply cleaning your house or doing a little
gardening all counts!
Popular diets don't work. It is not that popular diets do not
work… it is just that they do not work for everyone. Our bodies
are different from each other and react differently to different
stimuli. For instance, the Atkins diet has helped thousands of
people lose weight but has caused weight gain in others. So
what do you do? The best and safest way to diet is to consult a
nutritionist or dietician who can recommend the diet that is
most suited for your body and current fitness goals.
Weight Loss = A Commitment to A New Way of Life
In your quest for weight loss, you will come across hundreds
more of myths such as those listed above. However, in the
middle of all of these there is one single truth that all diets
and weight loss regimens concede to be true – to achieve weight
loss and maintain it, you need to change your lifestyle.
To lose those unwanted pounds, you simply need to burn off more
energy than you acquire from the foods you eat. Period. So
seriously, the secret to weight loss is really something you
have known all this time right? You need to change the way you
look at food, make a conscious decision to start eating healthy
and start exercising daily.
