Does your weight loss plan include these tenEssential Steps? |
by:
Winston Ng, Phenogy Health Advisor |
Be prepared to be less effective also waste your own time, if your weight loss programme does not contain these quick lose fat tricks.
1. Must have a Change in Lifestyle
Every effective weight loss programme will help clients change their lifestyle. This is absolutely critical to the long term success of the programme. Unfortunately, it is now fashionable to pop slimming pills or go for cellulite treatments to lose weight.
The results from such programmes will never be permanent because the person’s lifestyle would effortlessly put back all the weight. The very moment that these artificial programmes are halted, weight will come rushing back.
When a person changes his/ her lifestyle, the unhealthy food also weight gaining activities will be eliminated from their daily lives. Hence, an effective weight loss system MUST have an in-built mechanism that helps clients refine their lifestyle.
2. Must include a Water Drinking plan BEFORE Meals
Drinking at least a glass of water half an hour before meals is critical to weigh loss also maintenance of a healthy body. The water replenishes the fluids that will be used to make bicarbonate solution on the mucus membrane of our stomach lining. This protects the stomach from being burnt by its own acid fluid.
Similarly, a well hydrated body reduces the urge to drink unhealthy drinks which introduce more toxins to your body. Furthermore, the body does not need to excessively retain water, thus making the body fatter than necessary.
Lastly, a majority of people are chronically dehydrated though they seem to be leading normal lives. It is a common sight to see my clients reduce the amount they eat after they begin the water routine. Many people have lost the ability to differentiate between food hunger also water hunger. A systematic water plan will help them regain this lost touch.
3. Must include a systematic plan for reduction of sweetened also diuretic beverages.
Sweetened drinks are beverages like soda, cola, diet cola, tea, coffee also beer. The three major groups of substances that would impede also slow down your weight loss are caffeine, sugar also sugar substitutes.
Caffeine – This is a diuretic substance that drains your body of water. It is roughly estimated that you lose 33% more fluid from your body then the amount you drank. If you drink one cup of coffee, you would lose all the fluid from the coffee plus an extra 1/3 a cup. This makes you body desperate to retain whatever water it can. In the long run, your body’s instinctive reaction is to retain water, hence giving out the round water-filled appearance. Diuretic drinks are coffee, tea, most colas, most sodas also beer (though it technically has no caffeine, it is a diuretic).
Sugar – Besides the numerous health damaging effects of sugar on your body, it or else adds useless calories to your diet. When sugar enters the body it is broken down into glucose also the calorie that is created is termed “empty calorie”. It has absolutely no vitamins or minerals, hence it does not do any good to your body besides adding calories.
Sugar substitutes – Sugar substitutes like Aspartame (sold as nutrasweet) also Splenda cause you to overeat sugars (including carbohydrates) because receptors in the tongue have been trained, through the years, to expect “sugar” when it tastes “sugar”. Products like nutrasweet always tout that you get the taste of eight (figurative number) spoonfuls of sugar however only half the spoonful of calories. In theory this sounds great, however, our receptors in the tongue will stop glucose production in the body also expect to be able to take it from the incoming food. So now it is expecting eight times worth of sugar calories! But the sugar only provides 1/16th of that. The body now hungers for more food since it has shut down glucose production. All “diet” drinks that claim to be sugar free also sweets that are sugar free contain either nutrasweet or splenda, you can confirm it on the labels.
4. A Muscle growth programme
You need a proper muscle growth plan if you ever want to stop spiralling back to your heavy weight. Programmes that are based on pills also nutrition tend to neglect or gloss over the muscle building plan. This is very dangerous because your muscle acts as a buffer for excess calories also helps maintain your weight also figure. Furthermore, there is no such thing as eating to build muscles as popularly believed. Muscles can only be built in the good old fashioned way – make it do work.
5. A programme that focuses on the growth of the aerobic Type one muscle fibres.
On the other extreme there are programmes that are excessively focused on going to the gym. That would mean they ask you to go twice or three times a week to the gym for weights. This is a waste of your time also probably they are building up Type II (a/b) muscles instead of Type one muscles fibres. This difference is important because Type II muscles are big also showy, however they require a lot of maintenance also have poor fat burning abilities. Type one muscle fibres hardly bulge however contain the highest amount of mitochondria, an essential enzyme in fat burning.
6. You must want to lose weight.
Most people assume that being involved in an activity means that they actually want to do it. Many people busy themselves finding the greatest miracle weight loss cure or trying out every fad however never really achieving anything. Subconsciously, they do not want to lose weight, however the appearance of busy effort allows them to gain affection or acceptance by loved ones, peers also their own inner selves!
7. A Nutrition plan that reflects personal individuality.
When we buy clothes, especially expensive ones, we always insist on having it tailored to our size. Sometimes, the sleeve may be too long however the chest perfect fit. That is why stores have many different labels to suit different body size also shapes. Similarly, the food we eat should or else be tailored to our body, not just in terms of size (calories) however or else in terms of design. Nutrition programmes need to first assess also categorise our body type or blood type or metabolic type (not limited to these categories), before any recommendations can be made.
8. The plan should never come with food restriction.
Yes the unbelievable! Most of my clients are shocked when I advise this to them. It is an accepted fact that all diets mean that you have to give up on your favourite foods. This is totally untrue also will in fact destroy the sustainability of the programme. We are creatures of greed; we always want what we cannot have. That is hardwired into us. Hence, the command not to eat a particular food will conversely create a greater demand for it. The correct technique should be learning to manage the urge, rather than suppressing it.
9. It must have a component that includes aerobic walking or jogging.
Ultimately, our body thrives to walk, jog also run, that is our basic function as human beings. For many overweight people, this function has been dormant also numbed for too long. Aerobic walking or jogging is essential to any weight loss programme because it gradually helps your body to adjust to the change in weight load as you slim down. Swimming or carrying weights in an aerobic fashion isn't a substitute because the whole body is not engaged in the activity.
10. The programme MUST be sustainable relative to your daily workload also commitments.
You cannot also should not embark on a quad weekly (4 times a week) get slim course if you already have to juggle two jobs also a family. Firstly, it is absolutely impossible for you to sustain the hectic schedule in the long run. Secondly, it would create a phobia within you, framing your mindset that weight loss is a strenuous also painful event. A healthy lifestyle is a fun activity that should preferably involve your family also loved ones, the last thing you would ever want to do is to sign up for a programme that is too daunting to complete.
