Doctors increasingly have to treat related ailments. Obesity is becoming more common than it was in past years, with its adverse effects on the body. When you see your doctor and he says you have to lose it, take him seriously and look for a weight loss program that suits you. There is no disadvantage in trying, only gain because you will end up healthier. Using the body mass index (BMI) is a credible formula that shows whether your body is the ideal size.
One of the most recommended ways of doing this is by working out. This helps in burning fat and replacing it with muscle. Before you begin on a workout regime, the first thing you need to do is see your doctor. If they recommend that physical training is good for your body, look for a fitness trainer who will work with you.
This can also be achieved by learning how to count calories. You probably piled on the pounds by burning fewer calories than you consumed. To change this, you have to do the reverse: eat fewer calories and burn more.
Putting large portions of food in your plate encourages you to eat more food than your body needs. Controlling your portions by reducing the portion of carbohydrates and proteins and increasing that of vegetables can be the solution to your problem. You will realize that when you put a smaller portion of food on your plate and eat it slowly, you will be satisfied as much, and much healthier.
While you are doing any of these, the best way to achieve results is to look for an accountability partner. This is someone who you will update weekly or after every few days. They should also hold you accountable for everything you do to achieve your goals. This is good as it gives you morale.
These methods may not be effective or possible for some people. The doctor could prescribe medication for such people. Another option he could have for such a patient is surgery, reducing the size of the stomach to decrease the size of the portion that it can hold at one go.
To succeed in any weight loss program, commitment is a must. You must be committed to achieving a permanent change in your diet and exercise habits. This will guarantee that the loss of weight is not temporary but will be maintained for a long time.
