Weight Loss and Dieting Myths

In the (health) weight loss industry there is a lot of information and advice available and accessible to the public at large. Some of this information is confusing, contradicting and misleading. “There’s a joke doing rounds that warns against reading too many health books. You might just end up dying of a misprint.” I am sure you have heard your fair share of dieting myths or weight loss lies, some of which you probably do not know are actual “myths”. I will cover some of these myths below

1. If you exercise often, you can eat anything you want

Definitely the above statement is not true. Your weight loss endeavours will be hindered if you do not watch what you eat even if you are a regular exerciser. As rule of thumb, you should “eat from the earth”. Avoid pre-packaged food such as chips, sauce, cookies, no-perishables etc. Meat, fish, water vegetables, grains, fruit are eating from the ground. Without change in eating habits, exercise alone has minimal impact on your weight loss efforts. Weight loss trials (conducted by Dr Kelly Shaw from the Dept. of Health Human Services of Australia) found that modifying your diet has a greater impact on weight loss than just exercise. Therefore combining good eating habits and exercise will yield best results in your effort to lose weight.

2. Carbohydrates are not good avoid them

Carbohydrates have been single out as the cause of most evils in our health. It has bee alleged that they cause many ailments from gingivitis to depression (the list is too long to mention here). Some of the benefits of eating carbs are as follows: They help you built muscle. Muscle will increase the calories your body burns (or your metabolic rate). Carbs are our number one source of energy. Research from Children’s Hospital and Brigham & Women’s Hospital, both in Boston, suggest that good fats and high fibre carbohydrates can keep your metabolism from slowing down. The low=glycaemic group in the study felt less hungry and had lower levels of heart-threatening triglycerides and C-reactive protein, an inflammatory compound associated with heart attack risk.

3. All slim people are healthy

Most people think if you are slim you are healthy or healthier than fat people. This is just a myth, just because you look thin outside (or not overweight) does not mean you are not fat. Some slim people have deposit of internal fat, these internal fats can occupy or surround vital organs like liver, the heart etc. and can be a health risk as much as the more obvious external fat.

A team led by Dr. J Bell, a professor of molecular imaging at Imperial College, London conducted a research by scanning about 800 people with MRI machines to create “fat maps” showing where people store fat. According to Dr Bell’s findings people who maintain their weight through diet rather than physical exercise are likely to have major deposits of internal fat, even if they are otherwise slim.

Slim people should therefore try to combine their diet plan with physical exercise to ensure that they get rid of internal fat.

Fat Loss Diets – Tips for Dieting

Losing weight is not only helps to improve the way that you look, but also it is important to improving your health and quality of life. By reducing your body weight by 10% you will substantially reduce your chances of developing diabetes, heart disease, and even joint problems. For a woman that weighs 165 pounds a 10% weight reduction would only be about 16.5 pounds. This reduction will help you feel better about yourself, it will help you drop a dress size or two, and it will help you enjoy your life.

Why Most Diets Fail

Most fad diets fail because they create negative biological effects within your body. Starvation diets that reduce your daily caloric intake too much will actually cause you to hold onto fat and extra body mass by lowering your rate of metabolism and by triggering your body’s starvation defense mechanisms. Fad diets that reduce your food choices to only one or two food groups are also unhealthy, and they will ultimately fail because they starve your body by not providing it with adequate amounts of nutrients, minerals, and fats that it needs to operate and function properly. As your body runs out of the stored elements it will trigger a craving that will encourage you to eat foods that have the nutrients that it needs. These craving, unfortunately, will kill you diet as once you start eating the restricted foods you won’t be able to stop.

In addition to nutritional concerns that fad diets pose, unbalanced diets also impact the way that you feel, and your ability to function normally. With too few calories, and too few nutrients your moods will swing to the dark side, and people will not want to be around you. This could negatively impact your ability to function at work, to socialize with others, or to take part in your family’s activities.

Set Reasonable Goals

Now that you know that unbalanced diets, staving yourself, fad diets, and diet pills are not the answer to your weight issues, you are in a good place to start eating in a way that will promote a healthy weight, and that will still allow you to eat like a real person. When deciding to lose weight you should sit down with yourself and truly identify weight loss and fitness goals that are reasonable for you to achieve, remembering that not everyone is designed to be 110 pounds and a size 2. Your body type, bone structure and size, and your muscle mass will determine what weight you should be. As you start losing weight you will start to get an idea of what weight range you feel the most comfortable at, and most importantly which weight ranges that you feel the healthiest at.

Set short-term and long-term weight loss goals.

For example, week one I will lose 2-3 pounds (short-term goal), and by July 31 I want to be 20 pounds lighter (long-term goal.) This brings me to another important point, don’ expect to lose 10 pounds overnight. The diets that claim that they can give you this kind of result are either lying to you, or they are putting your health at risk. The liquid diets that have become popular in the last several years that promise if you drink only their juice diet drink for two days that you will lose 10 pounds, are basically providing you with a 48 hour fast. While you may lose 5 to 10 pounds with this diet, it will be from the loss of water weight and the cleansing of the contents from your bowel and intestines, and not actually from losing fat.

Losing Weight Safely

Safe and healthy eating programs should provide you with an average weight loss of about 1-2 pounds per week. Weight loss at his rate is more likely to stay off, than weight that is lost at faster rates through unhealthy methods. You should also be prepared to hit weight loss plateaus. These plateau periods will be frustrating and they may make you want to give up, but don’t. These phases are times that your body needs to readjust to your new body composition and metabolism rates. You may notice that during this time that even though you won’t lose any pounds, you will see your body toning and firming.

The Pitfalls of Weight Loss and Dieting

Losing weight is not just about sweating it all out. On the contrary, no amount of exercise can give you your desired body if you keep on taking in more calories than what you lose. That is why a good exercise program is best complimented with an effective weight loss diet. After all, you’ve got to burn what you consume. And you’ve got to consume only what you can burn, if you want so much as to maintain your body.

 In this day and age of the Internet and modern technology, it is so easy to have access to fad diets and the latest weight loss trends. We often forget that there are unseen dangers when you get into the diet of the moment as a knee-jerk reaction without making the necessary research. For one, some weight loss diets can be so smothering that you are bound to fail the moment you begin. Others may result in rapid weight loss, but are most likely to slow down your metabolic rate in the long run. To keep up with your weight loss goal, you end up having to eat lesser and lesser until you develop an eating disorder.

 Most of the diet plans that are readily accessible do work, though. But one of the most popular and effective through the years is the low-calorie weight loss diet. This is because the goal of every diet plan is to ultimately decrease your calorie consumption. At the end of the day, the fewer calories you consume, the less calories you have to burn to lose weight.

 Now that you are ready to go on a diet plan, the next question is: what are you supposed to eat? Fruits and vegetables, grains and beans, and lean meat are among the most diet-friendly foods that are readily available in your local grocery. It would also do you well to load up on natural food rather than processed ones, as well as those with high nutritional content rather than junk.

 Again, when it comes to planning your low-calorie diet, having little or no information alone can cause danger. For example, those who don’t know any better often opt to eat smaller portions of processed foods that are rich in calories, thinking that this is the way to decrease their calorie intake. Unfortunately, this often causes hunger, and leads people to overeat to satisfy their pent-up hunger. On the other hand, those who lessen their calorie intake by restricting their diet to nutrient- and fiber-rich foods that are low in calories will tend to feel full and consume lesser calories in the process. As such, when it comes to selecting your diet, less is not always more.

Finally, the secret to a successful weight loss diet is to cut yourself some slack. Do not try to change your eating habits drastically, especially if you’ve been into these habits for most of your life. Make the adjustments incrementally, making that you feel comfortable and natural before you move on to the next level. Remember that most people fail because they set up goals that are too high to reach before they take the first step.

Inside Out Weight Loss : Dieting, Supplements, Weightloss Fitting Room, Chronic Fatigue & Food

Are the barriers of dieting psychological or physical?

Part 1.

On the last count the word ‘diet’ produced in excess of 157 million web pages of diet plans, pills, potions and dieting tips from health institutions, diet companies, nutritional professionals and otherwise – from all over the world. And yet we are approaching the peak of an obesity epidemic which is causing untold mental misery and depression, aside from the ever increasing debilitating diseases being linked to those overweight or obese. With such an abundance of information available – how can this be?

The trend is unforgiving and is second only to smoking in terms of the cause of self-inflicted premature loss of life, but left to its own devices within the next five years obesity is sure to take the number one slot. Mother Nature is ruthless in her approach to life, in that she only allows the fittest to survive and the trend we see today is her reaction to the effects of a diet that is clearly not suited to the well-being of the human body and mind. We only have to stop, take a step in back and look around us to see that there is one hell of a serious problem. There is no need for statistics, reports or media news to tell us such. It’s clear that we as individuals have to make a change in what we do if we have any intention to reverse the current obesity trend. The ultimate responsibility lies with each and every one of us to act for the benefit of ourselves.

We have to accept the fact that the grocery industry is a host of contradiction in that it sells both dietary products along side the very products that cause us to be overweight or obese in the first instance. This is so obvious in our supermarkets today. It has become human nature that profit has a higher weighting than human health, and this is evident in many industries around the world, and is far from unique within dieting circles. We must also bear in mind the diet companies, whilst they portray an air of interest and concern, in reality they are totally dependent on your failure to diet for their very own business survival. If they were good at what they do – their businesses would surely fail. So who can we trust aside from ourselves. The evidence is clear -there is no debate.

We may have one reprieve but it will be sometime in the future, but not now. Science and technology is getting nearer and nearer to the possibility of a wonder drug with the ever-increasing understanding of the human genotype and genetic engineering. But in reality, who would ever wish or want to be dependent on diet drugs, potentially an ongoing daily basis, simply because of a lack of understanding about the relationship between the food our body has been designed for, and the food we eat. Why is it, we knowingly overeat when we know it is bad for us and that we are doing harm to ourselves? Why is it, that the only time we choose to ignore our food is the time when we are eating it!

So, is it a psychological thing, a physical thing or is it both?

In order to answer this we must first look at the change in our diet over the last 50 years. Consumption trends of refined carbohydrates such as sugar has risen dramatically, but at the same time the consumption of fats and proteins has remained reasonably stable. Saturated fats has indeed become and still is a problem although thankfully now overall consumption of saturated fats has dropped slightly, but still remains an issue.

Many studies particularly those associated with research in how the Atkins diet worked revealed that the effect of refined carbohydrates and fats both have a form of addiction associated with them. Studies have shown that refined sugars have the effect of playing havoc with the fine balance of maintaining the level of glucose in the bloodstream. This in turn has a detrimental effect on our hormonal activity, such as insulin and glucagon which are both responsible for maintaining the level of glucose to its normal level following a ‘surge’ intake of refined carbohydrates in our diet. These acceptable levels of glucose in the bloodstream are maintained at surprisingly narrow margins.

Refined sugars therefore induces excessive hormonal activity in its attempt to restore homeostasis. These unnatural ‘swings’ in hormonal activity often cause differing mood swings from that of being happy and content to being sad, on edge, and even feelings of anxiety or panic. Prolonged exposure to these hormonal swings can often lead to the whole process becoming less effective and subsequently diabetes can be the end result.

Other studies have shown surprisingly that the effect of eating significant quantities of fats actually leads to an unexpected human reaction in terms of nutrition. You would think that eating food rich in fats would have the effect of satisfying feeling of hunger. But amazingly medical research has shown the opposite to be true. Clinical trials have shown that foods rich in fats actually induces people to eat more not less. At the time the results from such experiments were groundbreaking as they completely contradicted the nutritional thinking of the time.

It is also interesting to learn that further medical studies have suggested that foods rich in protein have been linked to the response that indicates that you have consumed sufficient food. In other words, it is believed that proteins in some way, triggers the ‘I am full’ response.

And then of course there is the massive change in our energy expenditure. We used to hunt and gather food but now we happily pop to the local supermarket to buy it, or at worse, have it delivered to our front door. Food has changed from being scarce to being in abundance (at least for us), and we have changed from being ‘active’ to relatively ‘dormant’. Move less and eat more…what should we expect?

And many believe that even the act of not exercising can trigger the bodily response to lower the metabolism and build fat layers under the skin for 2 key reasons, both being linked to human survival. In evolutionary terms, it may be that you are unable to ‘hunt’ and therefore unable to secure food. Reducing the metabolic rate of your body makes total sense to preserve energy. Secondly, if food is available during a spell of non activity, does it not make a whole load of sense to lay down fat layers under the skin to retain bodily heat and secure an energy source during potential ‘lean times’. Perfect sense, perfect design and yet we don’t understand ourselves and if we do, many choose to ignore the warning signs out body is offering.

In essence therefore, it is very clear that part of the problem within the dieting world that we humans face is certainly a physical one that is linked to the interaction of the food types we eat with that of our body. And clearly, over the last 50 odd years our diet has changed out of all recognition and yet our body is doing the same as it has been doing for well over the last 100,000 years. We are in the 21st century, our body is still in the ‘Stone Age’. Evolution is a slow slow process but over millions of years the relationship and reaction of chemicals in our food with the cells of the human body has been cemented and cast, for eons of time.

So, it is us that need to change…because Mother Nature will not entertain us for thousands of years to come…

Run with it, eat what your body has been designed for and successful weight loss will follow for sure…

Overweight and Dieting for Weight Loss

Weight loss is big business. The demand for weight loss products is huge.

Overweight and obesity is a major health problem in America. Indeed, one in four Americans are considered to be overweight or obese. Obesity is the main predisposing factor for a variety of medical conditions including angina, hypertension, diabetes, stress and depression.

At least 65 % of overweight individuals have tried one or more methods to lose weight, however only 23% of these succeed in achieving lasting results.

These results speaks for themselves and it means only one thing, that a large quantity of weight loss products and diet programs available doesn’t work. Who’s to blame for this is? Is it the people or is it the products? Well, in my opinion it is unreasonable to blame the consumer for a faulty product, that said it is also important that the product is used correctly. However, if so many people fail to utilize the product (in this case weight loss products and various diet plans) in the right way in order to achieve the promised results it might be wise to consider changing the product to fit the needs of the consumer. This is how a good diet plan needs to be planned out, it should be manageable and it should provide lasting results. However, it’s no secret that long term benefits for overweight people does not equal long term benefits for the weight loss industry. This is probably why many weight loss products are actually designed to fail in the long run. The economic aspects totally overshadows the main purpose. Which in the end should be to produce lasting results and improve health. Sadly, but naturally this in not the main motivation for marketers in the weight loss industry.
