There
are a ton of questions that people ask me about weight loss, and I can
understand the reasoning behind this. Most of the weight loss experts
or gurus out there are not going to answer all your questions clearly;
some will offer you cryptic replies, others will say nothing at all. I
don't believe that effective weight loss should be a guessing game. In
this article, I will give answers to three of those most frequently
asked questions about weight loss.
1. Question#1: Do I need to exercise even if I am
on a diet?
Answer: Of course, because diet alone can
never ensure a skimmer and leaner body. Only exercise can
help you burn fat which is the fastest way to lose fat and gain muscle.
Of course, following a healthy, low-calorie diet is also important.
Never forget that you must burn off more calories than you take in in a
day. Consistent exercise is the best way to tip the
scales in your favor. If you exercise and eat calorie-rich foods all
the time, your weight loss efforts will be totally sabotaged. On the
other hand, if you only diet but never exercise, you will improve your
health but never lose any considerable amount of weight. So yes, diet
and exercise are both crucial to a healthy weight loss plan! The secret
is that it is the combination of the two that leads
to that flat tummy.
2.Question#2: Which is the best diet for me?
Answer: I hate to sound negative, but there is
simply no 'best diet' in this world. Also there is no magic pill. Don't
fret though, it is not hopeless. There are plenty
of great programs and supplements to assist you. Different diets work
for different people. What may work for you may not work for others,
because your lifestyle, tastes and habits are unique to you.
If you are unsure, your best bet is to consult a doctor who would be
able to offer you sound advice based on your medical history as well as
current health.
3. Question#3: Do I need to visit a doctor? Why
can't I just join a popular weight loss program instead?
Answer: If you lead a healthy lifestyle, eat good
foods, keep yourself out of junk foods, as well as exercise regularly,
then perhaps you don't need to consult your doctor except when you want
to go for a regular health checkup. We all hate to go to the doctor and
if you recently went or are in good health you should be ok. But
if you live a sedentary lifestyle, eat junk foods all the time, hardly
ever exercise, and have become obese as a result, then you must visit a
doctor. Your doctor is the only person who can offer you sound advice
on how to start losing weight. The reason for this is because he can customize
it to your exact specifications. It is worth it in the long
run.
Going by the popularity chart is not always the
best approach when it comes to weight loss programs. Don't
get caught up in a lot of the hype. There are many programs
which are popular because of hardcore marketing done by the respected
companies, but most of those 'popular' products hardly work! Instead,
if you visit a doctor, he will be able to tell you from experience
which weight loss programs are going to be really viable, irrespective
of their popularity. Doing your research as well as reading reviews is
also a great timesaver.
