I received a telephone call from a lady

last week. Her first word was heeeelp!

She was on a weight loss program and

only losing about one half pound per week.

She wanted to speed things up but didn’t

want to do anything that was unhealthy.

Here’s what I told her:

If you’re interested in losing fat, you’re

objective is to create a daily caloric

deficit. For example, If you’re consuming

1700 calories per day, and expending 2000

calories per day, your caloric deficit is

300 calories.

So, if you’d like to increase your daily

The statement above holds good for some of the very happening reasons. The mortality rates especially in the west are rapidly increasing due to the irregular and junk dietary patterns. Every region has its own specialty regarding the food styles. The concept of fast food has become very popular these days and therefore each one heartily consumes good and tasty food. These foods are made up of high level calories and carbohydrates which often lead to diseases like coronary heart disease, diabetes, obesity etc.

The health authorities are nowadays actively taking measures to inculcate discipline regarding food habits. They are creating advertisements through the various channels such as radio, TV ads, billboards etc.

In January a lot of people decide to go on a diet. This is not the only time of year that happens. A few months before summer (the bathing suit season) starts, many women decide to lose weight. There are so many diets around. It seems to me that too many of them are extreme diets: You cannot eat any carbs. You need to eat mainly protein. You can eat all the fats you want. I am afraid I do not go for any of these extreme diets. They are too radical. At first you are all excited and follow the diet. You might drop a few pounds quickly. Then the weight loss slows down and you lose your enthusiasm. Does that sound familiar?

Unfortunately, America ranks to be one of the highest
competitors on the list of obesity. It kind of makes you
wonder if Americans are getting used to the idea of
being fat, or has their perception of what fat is, changed
in the past couple of decades.

I mean, honestly, think about it. Everywhere you go, you
see that extra spare tire and man boobs on people
passing by, and the sad thing is, that we see this so
often, that it has become acceptable in our society and
we hardly think twice about it, and sometimes don’t
even notice it.

If you are thinking about losing weight
using a meal replacement program make
sure you read all of the following article
before you make your decision.

Let me first start off by saying that meal
replacement diets are definitely not for
everyone. They can get very intense
at times. Not only are they good for
losing weight, but they are also good
for disciplining yourself because let me
tell you, if you can allow your self to go
through with it for 28 days, then you will
definitely be able to see will power that
you never knew you had. It’s tough, but
if you feel you can go through with it,
kudos to you.
