In a world obsessed with weight loss and how to do it fast, numerous myths and gimmicks have been borne. Everyone seeks to find that magic pill or food that will melt away all the excess body fat as fast as possible. New crashing diets, supplements and exercise routines, sweep across the globe every day each promising the best results. The weight loss obsession is understandable with the numbers of overweight or obese people in the world steadily rising. This translates to the rise in obesity related disorders such as diabetes and coronary heart disease.
There exist many unhealthy weight loss misconceptions. To reduce your weight, you need to progressively make small achievable changes in your lifestyle. There is no single food or diet that can solely help you lose weight. You need to change your eating habits while at the same time increasing your physical activity. Changing one and ignoring the other will not guarantee you the best and long lasting results.
Exercise
While you are exercising, your body burns more calories. When you burn more calories than you consume, you effectively lose weight. Exercise also ensures that you do not lose muscle as you lose weight. Only fat is lost in the weight loss. Retaining muscle during weight loss prevents weight regain in the near future. There are many effective workouts that you can perform without even having to hit the gym.
Dieting
Dieting is more effective in weight loss than exercise. It is important that you choose a healthy diet plan that is right for you preferably with the help of a dietitian.
Supplements
Supplements are supposed to give you an edge while you are in the process of losing weight. Combining dieting and exercising with effective supplements is a surefire way to effectively lose those extra pounds in a shorter time. Supplements are supposed to:
- Increase fat burning
- Reduce appetite
- Reduce absorption
One of the best supplements in the market today is Garcinia Cambogia extract. It has received acclamation from authorities such as Dr Chen who has called it “Dual action fat buster” and Dr Oz who referred to it as “Holy grail of weight loss.”
The active ingredient in Garcinia camogia is the HCA extracted from its skin. It has been proven to not only inhibit the fat producing enzyme but also boost the levels of serotonin and reduce the stress hormone cortisol. This leads to a decrease in the amount of body fat as well as a decrease in eating habits. Inclusion of HCA has been shown to help dieters lose up to three times more weight than those not taking the supplement.
Here are a few tips you can use to safely and effectively achieve healthy and long lasting weight loss:
- You need to reduce your intake of refined sugars
- You need to eat less junk food and sugary drinks
- You must cut back on your alcohol consumption
- Quit smoking
- Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables
