WEIGHT LOSS WACKINESS

(IMAGES MAY NOT TELL THE ENTIRE STORY)



Here I am enjoying a nice Sunday morning and suddenly my calm state of mind is upset by another story chronicling the negative and unsatisfactory results of another quick weight loss diet. Now I am not as much upset by the people who market the diet as I am by the whiners who used the diet. Now they want to cry and have people feel sorry for them and of course now they are going to warn us about this bad diet. HEY MORONS, SERVES YOU RIGHT!!!!!


There is absolutely no reason for anyone to fall prey to these "get it quick" methods for weight loss. The amount of valid information that is available is mind boggling but of course it comes attached with the proviso that you must put forth EFFORT!! It's not about eating only 500 calories a day and using diuretics to speed up the process. But of course if that means that you can get into that special dress in two months instead of six, well common sense be damned.

Look, I have gone over this so many times with clients, especially females. These methods will cause serious health problems down the road and some of the consequences may not be reversible. Women's systems due to constant hormonal changes are even more susceptible and at risk.

If you are grossly overwweight then it is quite obvious that you have no idea how to exercise or eat properly or you may have a health condition. Either way that means you must seek the help of a reputable professional be it a doctor, nutritionist or trainer. So a rapid loss system is definitely not the way to go. If you are just slightly overweight, and if you are you are part of the majority of Americans, you may not need as much help but you definitely need to incorporate exercise and solid nutrition to your life. And a little guidance won't hurt.

The key to every approach regarding weight loss is that "QUICK IS NOT IT". Also remember that the numbers on the scale are not always indicative of how healthy you are. Many lean folks are a mess healthwise. Its just that their body types make them stay lean so when we talk about diet and exercise it is not just for the heavy, it is for all.

Just do me a favor, stop crying because some magic method did not work for you, or jacked you up, or messed you up somehow. Dumb decisions lead to dumb results.
