If you’ve finally decided to shed that excess weight you’ve piled on over the last year and you want to do it as quickly as possible, then going through this may even save your life from unnecessary pain and suffering.
Some nutritionist tells you to follow a strict diet and minimize fat. Others swear the only way to lose weight is to do a low or no carbohydrate eating plans with generous amounts of protein and fat. And then there are those people who say eat anything you want, take this pill and look like a super model. Who should you believe?
One thing that should come to mind is that the in weight loss industry is very large and it’s booming. Every year thousands of people spend millions of dollars in search of the magic solution to their love handles.
The advertisements are endless. They all promote the same message they lead people on by letting them think that with a simple pill the weight will basically come off. One thing you should understand is that there are no magic pills that will melt away the pounds. Some pills can even kill you. For example there use to be some supplements that contained a common herb that was marketed as weight loss aids or energy boosters. The herb is similar to amphetamines and has been linked to side effects such as heart arrhythmia, psychotic reactions and seizures.
In some cases even heart attack and stroke. The herb could promote hemorrhagic stroke and it can affect the vascular and nervous systems. This particularly occurs when combined with caffeine, as is often the case in supplements.
According to findings published in Neurology, daily doses of more than 32 milligrams were linked to a three-fold increase in hemorrhagic stroke risk. So What Is The Weight Loss Solution?
The bottom line is that proper diet and exercise are most important. There are no magic solutions to weight loss. If you figure out the diet and exercise program that is right for you, it can work like magic.
Most people fail at weight loss because they are on the wrong program for them and they quit. Everyone is individual. Some respond well to high carbohydrates and others shed pounds and function better eating almost no carbohydrates at all. But one thing remains universally constant is that you must exercise.
Even small amounts of exercise, such as walking 20 minutes 2 to 3 times a week can have a dramatic affect on your weight loss. Starting a weight training program is also recommended because it will add lean muscle mass. Lean muscle mass will actually help you burn calories and lose weight.
