Ways To Lasting Weight Loss

One of the largest mistakes that heavy people make is that of going hungry themselves by skipping meals. What they do not understand is that in order to slim down, it is not necessary to cut out meals. On another note, if your body doesn’t get enough nutrition in the type of food, how will it give you the energy you ought to perform different physical pursuits? The most appropriate approach is to eat wholesome foods: foods that are highly wholesome but have low calorie content. Such foods will provide your body the much needed nutrition without making you fatter. Typically, an adult’s body needs about 2,500 calories in order to survive. If you eat calories on a moderate level then you don’t even have to count calories! In this article I will let you know the basics of a wholesome weight loss plan.

1. Stop emotional eating: Scores of people have become overweight as a result of emotional eating. Often people are gripped by intense feelings such as anger, hatred, depression, stress, boredom, loneliness, etc., and this is when they take the help of food as a way to provide relief for themselves. You need to comprehend that food can’t be the answer to each and every problem. Learn to handle how you feel without taking the assistance of food, for if you take the help of food to douse your feelings, you may never anticipate to lose weight!

2. Join a competent weight reduction program: Your next step is to join a competent weight loss program. An efficient weight loss program is one which recommend you a nutritious diet and exercise regimen. An inefficient weight loss program is one which recommends a great deal of fad diets and prescription drugs to you. By wholesome dietary program, I mean fruits, vegetables, lean chicken meat, fish, reduced fat dairy products, whole grain cereals, in addition to skinless poultry. Avoid high volumes of fat products like pies, candies and pastries at all costs!

3. Other than following a nourishing diet, regular workouts is in addition important for lasting weight loss. I would recommend you set out with lighter aerobic exercise and then go on to resistance training and cardio when you are feeling very used to your exercise routine. Even if you do only aerobic exercise, you will be in a position to lose weight because aerobics help you burn fat at a high rate by speeding up your metabolism, and this way gives you a tremendous boost in energy level as well as helps you shed weight.

There's some good stuff here, but some of it's complete rubbish. For example- how do you know if you're eating calories "on a moderate level" if you don't count or at least have an awareness of how many calories you're eating?

Also, where does this 2500 figure come from? My BMR (I presume this is what you're talking about by "in order to survive"?) is 1480 calories- that's what my body needs just to survive. If I ate 2500 calories (with moderate exercise) I'd put on half a pound a week. Worse, if I ate 2500 calories with a sedentary lifestyle, I'd gain about 1.5 pounds a week. I'm not short, either.

Even a 30 year old man who's 210cm tall (7 feet), and weighs 115 kilograms (253.5lb)- which would make him a little overweight- has a BMR under 2000 calories (1996). For him 2500 calories on moderate exercise would cause him to lose about a pound a week, and on no exercise would cause him to gain around a quarter of a pound a week.

There's also absolutely no need for programs. This forum is great for advice, and a lot of us are doing this completely on our own.
 
I agree with Amy. A lot of us are doing completely fine.

It's easier said than done to stop emotional eating. Weight loss is like a learning curve, you can't just drop all your bad habits at once, occasionally they will creep back in, whether that be bad cravings or just having a bad day and wanting to cheer yourself up with a pizza or whatever. Its ok to have these slip ups, i've had a few of them myself and i'm still here getting on with it.

Its easy to sit there and say you need to do x, x and x. But its not that easy and its ok for people to make mistakes. When I first started I didn't have a clue what I was doing, thankfully this forum was here to offer advice with food and what not. Programs are unnecessary, for some people (and me) its easier to design your own weight loss plan and create your own rules, tailored to meet your own needs.

First of all, you can't eat "on a moderate level" without counting your calories. It's a necessity in order to know how much you are eating.
