Weight Loss Ideas
Here are some very good weight loss ideas for individuals trying to lose weight.
Have you ever heard the saying “Dieting makes you Fat”? I read recently about someone who had lost 200lb over several years. If they had kept it all off they would now weigh minus 20lb! How ludicrous is that??
Unfortunately it is true, weight loss does make you fat if you don’t do it correctly. Your diet may have resulted in a weight loss of 10 to 15 lbs in the first few weeks most of which will be water. Once you end your diet your food cravings prompt you to eat and maybe even to overeat. Unfortunately during your weight loss regime your Basic Metabolic Rate (BMR) will have decreased. The result is that you regain all the weight you lost and some more. By the time your BMR catches up you are already overweight again.
You will now probably try to lose weight yet again. You will be successful initially but then you will hit a plateau. You become discouraged and start eating again and so the cycle continues. Each time you gain a little bit more than the time before. The only people who will be successful with their weight loss program are those who have a holistic approach. It is very important to watch carefully what you eat, stick with the regime and take regular exercise. This is the only way to keep weight off permanently. Crash diets don’t work. They may be a quick fix for a short term goal but they have no lasting effect. Try these weight loss ideas and see if they work for you.
People who need lose weight will often say “oh if only I could take a magic pill to help me to lose weight”. The crazy thing they don’t realize is that “food” will actually do that for them. Food increases our metabolism and so helps us to lose weight. Eating less food will only serve to lower your BMR and therefore slow down the weight loss rate.
To really increase our BMR we need to eat foods that will increase thermogenisis and have a stimulatory or energizing effect on the body. Protein has a particularly good thermogenic effect, but this is only true if you don’t overeat. Overeating puts a tremendous strain on the digestive system which can drain your energy and make you feel tired.
More weight loss ideas regarding food:
Another food that can rev up your BMR even more than protein is coconut oil. Coconut oil is a medium chain fatty acid (MCFA). MCFAs shift the body’s metabolism into a higher gear so to speak so that you burn more calories. Because MCFAs increase the metabolic rate, coconut oil can actually promote weight loss. A dietary fat that improves weight loss rather than causing you to gain weight is a strange concept for us to understand. MCFAs also encourage the burning of the long chain fatty acids as well so having a doubly positive effect on weight loss
