How does diet and exercise fail, many folks seem to think that they do fail?
What fails are poor diet plans, fad diets, and dieting through medication. Most people when advised to lose weight by their
doctor will cut out some bad things like soda and deep fried, but what else does the average citizen do to diet? Most folks
embark on a starvation diet full of good foods but lacking all the components to make it successful and again at a starvation
level. To me this is the reason diets are not successful, if you don’t know how to eat properly, it is impossible to
maintain that diet for the long term. Weight is usually lost with these poor eating plans and even some health levels improve,
but they are temporary results and will plateau out before long.
Did you know that with a balanced healthy eating plan cholesterol levels can
be in-line within 3 months and many folks much sooner than that? Would you do it if you knew how, probably not? Why not? Well
public opinion and media advertising of diet products is why. Most folks are so afraid of gaining weight that they won’t
even begin a healthy eating program. When returning to health is emphasized rather than weight loss, the weight loss will
follow. The media makes it sound much easier to take this pill and all will be well. We should know by now that todays miracle
medication is tomorrows lawsuit. Take this pill and supress your appetite and that will force your body to store more fat
and become even more sluggish in the bodies attempt to conserve energy to help the body survive the starvation it is suffering
from. This is a viscious cycle. The Yo-Yo effect.
The words above talk mostly about why diet fail but it is also the reason
exercise fails. If you are not eating enough to support the body functions and then try to exercise, you will not be successful
and will soon give up the exercise. Another reason for quitting is overdoing the exercise. Trying for five to seven days a
week of exercise when you did none before is a sure way to burn out in two weeks to a month. For the average person 3 days
a week is a good start, keep it moderate. If you maintain that then you can increase the days.
The time has come that we must become responsible for our own well being.
Looking to a miracle pill has not worked
