I always find reasons to
satisfy my heart that dieting can once again
wait. Looking back at the various reasons
that I gave, I often have a great laugh.
However, they come unconsciously. See this
for instance: it’s Christmas. How can I be
on diet when the entire world is partying?
Would one last bite be that hard on my diet
schedule? No. The last bite is not hard on
my
dieting.
But it surely does impact the motivation to
lose weight. A chain of such diversions from
the desire goal of weight loss is formed.
Though the desire to have a
great bod is always there, most number of
times it gets defeated by the cravings for
delicacies. It continues to be dormant thus
till there is an occasion where you have to
face the society. People often ridicule at
obese people. You do not want to be objects
of ridicule. Do you? No, so you wake from
our deep slumber. We want to immediately
shed 10-15 pounds to make ourselves ready
for that event.
However, before making
efforts in that direction let you be aware that losing
weight with a rate as fast as 10-15 pounds in a matter
of days is too much to ask for. It is not only difficult
but also impossible. Trying to exceed the rate will be
unhealthy.
Healthy weight loss,
if it is going by the rate of 1-2 pounds is a fast rate.
It is appropriate. Trying to overdo by excessive
exercise will cause overuse injuries. Similarly fasting
is not going to help. Fasting up to a period of 24 hours
is helpful and recommended. Beyond this level, if a
person fasts, he is going to gain nothing. Our body
perceives the situation as a famine and automatically
decreases the rate of metabolism. Therefore, you consume
lesser calories.
What about weight loss
drugs? Are they able to bring about a fast weight loss?
They surely are an advancement over the methods
discussed above. If consume along with a balanced diet
and a proper workout of the body, the weight loss will
surely you closer to your destination (but not on the
destination).
If you are deciding to use
weight loss drugs or
diet pills, then you will come across
several products. These are broadly divided into
prescription and over the counter drugs.
Medical counseling is
necessary before using any of these pills, particularly
the prescription ones. If you have hesitation in meeting
the doctor personally, then go for medical consultation
on the Internet. The Internet has vast resources on
weight reduction. Moreover, you could get interesting
and informative articles here. Also if you do not have
access to a nearby chemist shop, then you can purchase
for your weight loss needs on the Internet. Several big
and small pharmaceutical companies have set up shop on
the Internet. These have door to door shipping facility.
