Losing weight gradually is not only the ideal way, it's also the healthy way as well. Buying into short term fad diets might give you the temporary results you're looking for, but when it comes to losing and keeping the weight of, I know everyone would rather a more permanent fix. Too often people get wrap up in fad diets only to be disappointed when they don't see the same results that were promise by TV commercials. So to avoid disappointments I recommend a more reliable way to lose weight. I believe using the systematic approach is the best way to lose weight.
A sudden change in diet or exercise is definitely not good for the body. The best thing to do is to gradually work these things in your life. The first step in working these things in your life is by gradually changing your diet. The idea of a gradual change refers to slowly reducing the amount of junk food you consume on a daily basis. While keeping in mind that it's not the end of the world if you suddenly fall back to your old habits, as long as you keep trying to get to where you know you need to be and don't completely give up. The next area to focus on is breaking up your meals into three or four portions for the day, this will gradually reduce that bad habit of wanting a snack in between meals. Mainly because this is where a lot of people tend to eat the majority of the junk food they consume. Ultimately it's going to take a lifestyle change to lose the weight you want to lose, but to key thing to keep in mind is, gradual steps.

I think my comments to your other post would work perfectly here. Great premise. Now fold in those supporting details. For example: fad diets such as ___ and ___? What would be an example of a gradual change in diet?
ReplyDeleteI like this blog about keeping away from fad diets and the emphasis on gradual change. There are way too many diet supplements and gimmicks on the market these days. Too many companies are pushing to make their sales and they arent always the healthiest way. I wish that people losing weight could understand that faster isnt always better. Especially with the obesity problem our country faces.
ReplyDeleteYour blog on healthy eating is wonderful! I know in the past when I have tried to eat healther I simply gave up eating junk food but, that didnt last very long. I ended up picking my old bad habits sooner than later and I was back at square one. I have heard from a lot of people that eating a few smaller meals rather than just 2 or 3 big ones helps you manage your weight and maintain a healthy diet. I completely agree with the gradual steps that are needed to be taken when trying to manage a healthy life style. Your blog has great input.
