We have put together what we have observed concerning weight loss and dieting. We have marketed and used weight management products for over 12 years so we know just a little bit in this area.
Obesity and prescription drugs often these are prescribed for weight loss, however due to the range of hazardous side effects associated with them drugs in most cased should be used only after exhausting other options.
Here are the most common mistakes people make when attempting to trim down and lose pounds.
The vast majority of people eat too many high carb foods plus most people don't consume nearly enough high protein foods as part of their diet so basically their bodies burn their lean muscle tissue instead of fat.
Muscle vs fat, one pound of muscle burns about 50 calories per day at rest or about 17 times more than one pound of fat.
The amount of muscle you have greatly determines your metabolism and how many calories your body burns each day.
This explains why peoples weight yoyo's when dieting. The wrong kind of diet robs their body of lean muscle mass thus they require less calories to maintain the same weight than they did prior to dieting. Basically they have a slower metabolism or metabolic rate with less muscle. Women are much more susceptible to yoyoing with their weight than men due to naturally having less muscle to begin with.
This explains why the Atkins diet is so effective. It cuts out a lot of the carbohydrates, which because people often eat too many of them cause weight gain. And by eating more protein it is making sure that you don't lose any muscle and may even gain some additional muscle mass. Now let me ask you a question how easy is it for you to cut out starches (breads, potatoes, cereals, beans, etc) and carbohydrates. If you're like most people it's not very easy. That's why you should try the Low carb starch blocker product Phase' oLean Forte.
Secondly a large factor in why people often struggle to achieve their weight loss goals is a combination of lack of physical exercise and exercising incorrectly. If you exercise correctly you'll cause your body to burn fat in a process called ketosis. It may surprise you but brisk walks are a better way to put your body in this ketosis fat burning state than will running.
Earlier we went into some length about how vitally critical the quantity of muscle mass was in a person's ability to maintain and not gain weight. This is exactly why so many fitness experts recommend lifting weights or resistance exercises. This adds additional muscle to your body, which means your body will now burn more calories. As we stated earlier it's important to be sure you're getting enough protein when exercising to build muscles. An excellent High Protein Meal Replacement Shake is Triple Protein Shake.
This is why men and women who participate even in light resistance exercises 2 to 3 times a week for 15 or 20 minutes almost always lose weight when they combine this with their weight loss program. This has been our observation over the last 10 years or so. More dieting and exercise information articles.
In conclusion do you want to lose pounds and inches here's your simple formula for success. Following it is the difficult part.
Cut your excess carbs, eat more protein and do moderate exercise like walking and light resistance exercises like weights. Do this and control what you eat and you will lose weight on this program.
We previous paragraph we discussed the importance of exercise. However, the right nutrition and weight loss supplements are also very critical in you accomplishing your weight loss goals.
Sometimes people will tell us the weight loss diet product doesn't work so we ask them, since taking the product are you eating more with out realizing it. As this is many times the case due to the eat more because I'm taking a diet aid rationalization. Okay next we have carbohydrates or as they are often called simply carbs. Carbs are typically a source of energy but when we consume too many carbs the excess goes straight to our stomach, belly hips or thighs.
As far as most weight loss products, most people have varying opinions. Here is the issue, most of the reputable weight loss products work to a certain degree. The problem is most people look at them as miracle workers, that will allow them to continue to eat way too much (this is kinder than saying they eat like a pig), not exercise and expect to lose weight on the product. So at the end of 30 or 60 days they weight or measure themselves and think that product sucked, as they didn't lose anything. Meanwhile they conveniently forget their lifestyle over that period. This is why recording eating habits in a journal is so effective and why it is recommended.
