What is the Best Weight Loss Program to Lose the Pounds and Look and Feel Great?
The best weight loss program is one that, when integrated into your normal lifestyle, forms part of natural and normal behavior. Now I have to explain here...
Here are some characteristics of the best programs to lose weight...
- It should be enjoyable. It shouldn't feel like you are undergoing chemotherapy... after all, you will be exercising this habit for life.
- The best weight loss program will permanently correct the lifestyle habits that caused the overweight condition in the first place. If the habits are not corrected, e.g. snacking, the extra pounds of fat will come back again.
- The best weight loss program, when you find it, will not only maintain your ideal weight BUT your good shape as well.
Many of those 'quick weight loss' plans that use low carb diets or drugs make you lose both fat and muscle mass at the same time. When you lose muscle you are losing fat-burning capacity.
Almost everyone can enjoy
the health benefits of physical
exercise derived from walking
So guess what happens when you stop taking the drug or drop the diet? You gain more weight.
- The best weight loss methods will help you cooperate with the body's self-healing mechanism, instead of jeopardizing your health. For example, some low carb diets use meals that include shell fish which are some of the highest sources of cholesterol.
- Purely natural weight reduction methods should enable you to even eat more and weigh less! You read right... With the right diet you can eat more and weigh less.
So those are some of the major characteristics of the best weight loss programs, in my opinion. Now look at this statement:
How's your eating habit?
-- "I've yet to meet an overweight person who
doesn't skip breakfast and snack at night."
- Pat Harper, R.D., American Dietetic Association
-- It's therefore worth repeating, here: A good weight loss program will require that you
(and will help you to) correct bad habits that contribute to obesity; such as eating between meals and skipping breakfast.
Some people go on diets in which they are actually starving themselves; like those low carb diets. Think about this, now:
The carbohydrate you eat is important for fuel... don't rely on that "fat burning" business, because you've got to clean up those extra dangerous fat burning by-products. What happens when you eat low carb or no-carb food? You starve your cells.
At the cellular level you are essentially starving. Actually, if you are diabetic with insulin resistance (Type 2) your cells are already starving. Glucose can't get in through the insulin receptor sites on the cells.
The best weight loss programs will allow you to eat carbohydrates that have a kind of "time release" effect on the glucose delivery, i.e. high fiber carbohydrates, which have even more health benefits than just weight regulation.
Coupled with exercise, and I must stress, regular exercise, this kind of weight loss program is the best, for both diabetics and non-diabetics.
There is a certain diet which is part of the best weight loss program I have described here.
It's also the diet of the healthiest, longest livers on earth. Don't just think about it. Try it. What do you have to lose, but fat?

What is diabetes like?
Actually, diabetes is starvation, except that it occurs at the cell level. Individual cells are deprived of glucose and they eventually die.
