Is there any thing called permanent weight loss or guaranteed way to lose weight and remain slim. From my personal interaction with people who have taken the weight management programmes, it comes out clearly that there is no permanent solution to the issue of body weight. Every thing works for as long as you follow it. It bounces back the minute it notes that you are not serious in your efforts.
A Number of weight loss programmes including drugs and pills are being promoted in the print media, TV and the web. All promising instant results, "Learn how I lost... pounds in just a week". Well in practise, it all does not work the way it is advertised. It might only be a sales gimmick and a trap for innocent and believing people eager to get slim.
The weight loss industry is an evergreen and thriving industry. Globally it must be a billion dollar industry. No authentic figures are available on the number of people wanting to get slim or the real income generated by the health and fitness industry. At best, it can only be guessed.
1. Do we have weight loss programmes?
The market is full of health and fitness programmes. Those who are eager to lose weight and gain control of their own body need not get depressed. There are some genuine programmes which, if followed religiously and regularly produce amazing results. The results for these programmes are never the same for two individuals. One cannot compare that if she lost 5 centimetres or x pounds, why it is only three centimeters or y pounds for me and so on.
2. Are weight loss programmes successful?
The success of any programme and more importantly the degree of success will largely depend on a number of factors. These include the quality of programme, your own life style like your diet habits, what you eat, how much you eat, how many times you eat. The nature and quantity of liquids that one consumes. It also depends upon nature of your work and work schedule. Does your work involve physical efforts or you have a desk job. Do you work sitting or standing and so on?
3. Can diet effect the results of a weight management programme?
Yes, most programmes target two elements, diet and physical routine. The results of any programme can be influenced by a thorough analysis of these two factors. Your daily diet, work and household routine to determining what is wrong and then substituting these with desirable healthy diet and activities. One has to therefore follow a disciplined diet and activity routines as if a doctor has prescribed them. Any misses, and you miss your target. Do not blame the programme
4. Do I need to consult my doctor before choosing a programme?
Yes, it is always advisable to consult your doctor before choosing a programme. Your doctor might know your body better than you do. However it could be extremely expensive and time-consuming. You have to depend on appointments, prescriptions and paying fees for each visit. Alternatively, you could buy a known weight reduction programme and follow it rigorously. In buying a known programme, you only spend one time and practise it in the convenience of your home. Be careful however on what you buy.
If you are really serious to lose weight, get slim and remain that way, you should carefully explore the pros and cons of various options available and then take a considered decision. Remember it is your own body and you cannot allow it to lose its charm. Act now. Do not delay, you only live once!
