Weight Loss and Some Reasons Why Diets Fail

By Ricardo d Argence

Everyday people are attempting to attain weight loss and instead they are failing. You know they are failing by the sheer number of new products that comes on to the market every day. Here we will examine just a few of the many reasons why diets might fail.

It seems that the most popular diets are geared toward eliminating entire food groups. No, fat diets, diets with no carbs and some diets with no food at all! It is little wonder that people cannot lose weight.

In order for our multifaceted bodies to properly operate, numerous nutrients are needed. Usually your body will react negatively when a food group is eliminated and weight loss will not occur.

Starvation diets are even worse, not only are you not getting any nutrients but you will lose little if any weight. That is because your body will go into what is known as starvation mode. Your body thinks that there is famine in the land and to protect life it will slow your metabolism and work doubly hard to store fat. This is to prevent you from dying under extreme circumstances. Eventually you can overcome the body's objections, however you do so a great health risk.

To lose weight effectively you will need to maintain a healthy balanced diet. This means that you must partake of all the food groups. The better approach is to limit your portion size, this way you are getting nutrients while cutting caloric intake.

Extolling claims that weight loss can be attained without exercise, many fad diets have become extremely popular. It is imperative that you consume fewer calories than you use while getting regular exercise. Anything that you do to raise your heart rate and increases your oxygen intake will be beneficial. Our bodies were not made to be sedentary they need movement.

The greatest weight loss aid is as close as your kitchen sink. Your body is composed of mostly water, about 61.8%. Needless to say, water has a large impact on correct bodily function. The recommended daily allowance of water is eight 8-ounce glasses, but that is only the maintenance amount, if you do any type of strenuous activity or perspire a lot you will need to take in more fluids.

To create a healthy weight loss program you should bring all the elements above together. Eat properly, exercise regularly and drink plenty of water and you have the best weight loss plan on the planet. - 17274
