Do You Want to Diet Or Do You Want to Lose Fat?

If you want to diet, don't read any further. If you want to lose fat, read on.

An unsympathetic world makes it extremely difficult for an overweight person to mingle comfortably on a social, employment and business level. Overweight people not only suffer physical discomfort, but also emotional discomfort.

Apart from the health implications of overweight, the physical discomfort and psychological stress is difficult to deal with.

There is a vast forest of diet plans on the market and each one swears that it is the best ever. How do the consumer decide which one of these plans are the best?

Assessing Your Weight Problem Many people do not have a weight problem; they just want to control their weight. We will deal with them first.

Many people have a weight problem, i.e. slightly over weight, medium overweight, much and severely overweight (obesity). We will get our teeth into this in the last part of the article.

Whatever your category, all the information is valid.

No real problem

If you gain weight easily but don't really have a permanent overweight problem and you just want to control your weight, there are a few common-sense rules and some external help.

Heart and Lungs...

Everybody, no matter whom, needs to be physically active to remain healthy and keep a balanced body weight. Unless you are physically disabled, you should participate in aerobic exercise regularly. This is the easiest way to keep your heart and lungs working well.

Eating habits...

Eat sensibly, don't gorge yourself and do chew your food properly before swallowing. The digestion process starts in the mouth and if you swallow your food without proper mastication, you cheat the communication system between stomach and brain. There are some very nice eating plans available if your main aim is to maintain a steady body weight. Enjoy a small glass of dry red wine with your last meal of the day.

Help for appetite control...

Use an appetite suppressant that is certified as safe and without any negative side effects. There are a number of safe appetite suppressants on the market. In addition there are also some eating plans that keeps the appetite under control. A simple regime is to see that your breakfast contains protein of the right kind. Your lunch may contain some carbohydrate and your supper should contain minimal carbohydrate.

To summarize the problem of those with a minimal or no real problem: Be physically active; you don't have to be the next world- or even local champion in any activity, just exercise within your ability. The more fit you get, the better you will be able to control your appetite; this is true for most people.

The Problem of Overweight

Short of writing a full-blown thesis on the matter, the following points should be helpful:

Obesity has a vast variety of causes, definitions and manifestations. This article can at best take a look at some superficial causes and manifestations of the fat problem. The word FAT PROBLEM is intentionally used here as many people follow weight loss programs where they lose a lot of weight in the form of water and muscle and as soon as they start eating normally, the fat just bulges out within a week or two.

Apart from the common sense things like exercising and eating correctly, let us look at what help the FAT person can get to solve or minimize his/her problem. If you are a chronic obese then you will by now almost certainly have consulted a doctor or a registered nutritionist.

The Things to Include in your Plan...

Eating...

The most important is to have a decent eating plan that is not only healthy, but also enjoyable. This is not as difficult as it sounds; if you want to achieve quick weight loss, help is available. Slower weight loss is normally recommended because the shock on your system will be less.

Remedies and formulations...

You should assist your system with two things. The first is to use a safe appetite suppressant. The second is to assist your metabolism to burn the fat. This is the only way to lose fat unless you like inconvenience and strict dieting regimes.

People with hormonal disturbances (as cause of the problem) should first of all check with their doctor before embarking on a metabolism boost plan. Let the doctor do a thyroid test or whatever he/she judges to be appropriate. The next stop will then be a registered nutritionist who will assist you with an eating plan.

Now yo will be ready to start using your 'crutches' to maintain your eating plan. Just remember that not all appetite suppressants are equal. Some are less equal even though their purveyors would like you to believe differently. Good sensible advice in this regard is given at bestdietforfatloss dot com.

Don't make These Dieting Mistakes...

1. The All Or Nothing Approach

Don't blindly bind yourself to an attitude of being a perfect dieter. Don't choose a complicated diet that requires you to have a will of steel. It is virtually impossible to maintain a so-called perfect diet for any length of time. Do this and you will be back on the binge quickly. If you have this kind of mentality you need to ask yourself some tough questions. Do you honestly want to lose weight permanently, or just lose a few pounds to be in a position to put them back on again? The way is to make small changes to what you eat so that you have a slow but steady weight loss.

2 Sacrifice

Do not assume an attitude of sacrifice. You don%u2019t have to totally go without the things that you enjoy. Learn to include a little of everything in your eating plan and enjoy eating small quantities.

3 Impossible goals

Don%u2019t set impossible goals. Setting achievable goals is vitally important for a successful fat loss plan. Set a weight loss goal of one pound per week and then work to lose two pounds. Even if you only just reach your goal of one pound you will not have the disappointment of goal failure.

The Final Word on Fat Loss

You need to honestly want to achieve whatever you set yourself as a target. Look at it this way:

If your target is to eventually jog 10 kilometers every day, you have to start off by jogging hundred meters and walking the next hundred meters and jogging the next hundred. This is important to boost your self-confidence. Therefore, go into your new plan gently, but with a firm and resolute attitude.

Select a weight loss or fitness plan that suits your personality and use a safe appetite suppressant as an additional crutch. Some days you will lean heavier on the crutch than other days, but that is what the crutch is meant for.
