Practically every diet book, plan, and product on the market promises quick weight loss. But that isn’t the kind of weight loss that you want; it’s only water weight, not fat tissue. That’s why quick-weightloss programs aren’t sustainable and are unsuccessful. You can dehydrate your body only so much, and in time you will reabsorb that water back into your tissues. The next time you see a promise of quick weight loss in any type of diet plan or product, run like heck in the other direction. That program or supplement won’t help you in the long term, and it could very well hurt you.
Slow, sustained, and permanent weight loss is what you should want because that’s the type of weight loss that results in adipose tissue loss. Permanent, healthy weight loss involves shrinking fat tissue and occurs through slowing calorie consumption and increasing metabolic rate. If you try to lose weight too quickly, you will hurt yourself by losing muscle mass (that’s the stuff you want to keep) or causing electrolytes, such as sodium or potassium, to be imbalanced. When you lose weight the right way, you will thin out your fat cells and bulk up your muscle cells. If you weren’t very active before and you kickoff an exercise program, you may even gain weight at first because of those bigger muscle cells—that’s great! Eventually, those healthy, well-hydrated muscle cells will tackle your adipose tissue and trim it away. If you do it right, you may not even lose much weight on a scale at first, but you will lose inches in your fatty areas. In the long run, the slower approach will make healthy progress toward the goal of permanent weight loss.
Some types of diet plans concentrate on having you cut out salt (not a bad thing to do) or MSG or preservatives or just hype you up on lots of caffeine, a diuretic. In any case, it’s false weight loss since you aren’t losing the fat weight. If you try to exercise too much with too little intake of calories or eliminate too much water by those methods mentioned earlier, you can damage your body. Your system will start to break down its own muscles or stop functioning properly. People get ill and die in the singleminded pursuit of dieting. Please don’t do that. There are plenty of healthy ways to speed up your metabolism and make weight loss fun and a positive experience.
I’ve noticed on angies list that many overweight people get bogged down in their genetics. They spend too much time worrying about their family history of thick thighs and not enough time contemplating how to move those thighs. Yes, twin studies and adoption studies show that people are more likely to have a metabolic rate that is similar to those of their biologic parents than one like their adoptive parents’. So your quick or slow metabolism is somewhat determined by genes. However, this can be modifi ed by nurture, by what you do to speed up your metabolism. Heredity is not destiny.
