Is There an Easy Way to Lose Weight?
Losing weight is easier said than done! If you’ve never had any problem with excess weight, you will never understand. But if you are overweight, or if you are struggling with excess weight, even if you’re not considered obese, then you will agree with me when I say that losing weight could be the hardest “battle” you’ll ever go through.
Why is losing weight very hard for many people? Some would say that losing weight is a battle between the brain and the stomach; whoever is stronger between the two rules and wins the battle. But truly, what makes losing weight very hard?
First of all, a person gains weight slowly; it definitely does not happen overnight. Day by day, for one reason or another, the person gains weight, and most of the time, he rarely notices it. The only time that realization comes in is when he finds it hard to fit in his clothes. Buttons are harder to close; zipper becomes harder to zip; and bending to pick up something on the floor becomes harder.
When this happens, people who are overweight normally do two things: try to lose the excess weight or do nothing at all. In terms of the clothes, a person suffering from excess weight (and who’s bigger) can also do two things: buy bigger clothes, or go on a diet so that he can fit in his clothes again.
But here’s the truth, all overweight people would like to lose weight; the only problem is they think or believe that it’s too hard. In reality, they are correct! To lose weight, one needs discipline and commitment. A lifestyle change is necessary. This means eating the right kind of food (avoiding the unhealthy food) and increasing activity through exercise. For exercise buffs, there is no other way.
The only way to lose weight is diet and exercise.
But wait, there is another way. Modern medicine has come up with safe drugs or weight reduction pills that can help a person lose weight safely. A good example of such is Xenical, but this can only be accessed through a prescription from a doctor. This means that before an overweight person can begin his weight reduction program, he has to consult a doctor for proper guidance.
Do Weight Reduction Pills Really Work?
Yes they do! But here’s one important thing to remember, weight reduction pills such as Xenical will only help a person lose weight for a period. For the weight loss to be permanent or long lasting, or in other words in order for the person to maintain the ideal weight he gains after taking the weight reduction pill, he has to live a healthy lifestyle. Failure to live a healthy lifestyle guarantees that in no time, the person will gain back all the weight he has lost, and worst, he can even grow bigger or heavier in time.
So for people who want to lose weight, come up with a plan. See a doctor and ask him about weigh reduction pills. Then, upon your doctor’s recommendation, slowly lose the excess weight by taking the medication and by living a healthy lifestyle that involves regular exercise and a healthy diet. Stick to your plan and enjoy a lighter, healthier body in no time!
