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.

The most popular diets are ones that air at eliminating an entire group of foods from your diet. No, fat diets, diets with no carbs and some diets with no food at all! It's not a surprise why people cannot lose weight.

The human body needs nourishment from several sources in order to perform at it's peak. Eliminating a food group is not a healthy way to lose weight, chances are good that your body will actually rebel leaving you with no weight loss at all.

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 most effective weight loss tool is closer than you think. Your body is composed of mostly water, about 61.8%. It goes without saying that water intake plays a major role in optimizing all body functions. The standard recommendation of 64 ounces of water per day will not apply on days in which you indulge in strenuous physical activity or sweat profusely, when it would be advisable to increase your fluid consumption.

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
