We have all heard of various kinds of health programs and diets each claiming to be the miracle therapy that you have been awaiting for ever since you decided to shed those extra pounds. They work, albeit only temporarily. The minute you “go off” the diet the weight gets back on with vengeance like a heart broken lover. No one have spared themselves in this rat race of having the perfect body and the lessons are learnt the hard way.
One such weight-conscious mother and daughter couple got onto a juices-only diet. So they drank all week. Only juices, no food, as the diet had recommended. They lost the weight within the first week itself and got into those old jeans and were more than happy. But the dieticians and nutritionists worldwide are concerned about the effects of such drastic and unhealthy weight loss.
They say that the results are always short-lived because you stay thin as long you stay off food and the minute you get off the diet you start piling up on calories. The mother who had tried Bio-slim earlier said that she used to keep shivering and forever felt hungry and had to give it up ultimately.
During such quick & easy diet tricks, the body is under extra strain and channels all the reserves towards compensating for what you are not giving to it. Weight loss more than a kilo a week is almost always unhealthy, dieticians say. So watch it if you have suddenly lost 3 kilos on this new patch or detoxification pill that you are using. You might be putting yourself in more harm in long term than the good the weight loss will do.
So eating healthy and exercising is the right and safest way to lose weight. Cut down on your fat and sugar intake, but not completely, keep it to a minimal. Have enough protein in form of nuts, seeds and cereals.
Have plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. Cut down completely on your junk and fast food intake which gives empty calories and zero nutrition. Consume at least 8-10 glasses of water each day. It rids the body of waste products allowing it to stock up on the nutrients that you are providing from other sources.
Follow a plan that you can stick to beyond just this week or month. Something that you can do a year is what will make you lose weight, permanently.So shake off the quick fix from you wish list and hit the grocery store and then the gym today!
