Stay away from weight loss gimmicks

Most of us must have come across the umpteen weight loss programs on he internet or otherwise who claim to reduce your weight in an unbelievably short span of time.

These claims sound very unrealistic, and they indeed are! No one can lose 30 pounds in 30 days!

That’s either a weight loss gimmick or if it really is so, you are putting your health into serious trouble.

You cannot risk your body to such extreme diets such as a no fat or no card diet or rigorous exercise and popping in several diet pills and supplements. They don’t work. They will only cause you harm.

The only way you can lose weight effectively is by eating fewer calories than you can burn. The amount of calorie intake and the amount of calorie burnt are the two main aspects of weight loss. But you need to strike a safe balance between the two.

If you exercise vigorously but take in fewer calories it will result in muscle loss than fat loss, which is very unhealthy. And when you are on a crash diet, you usually end up eating more because of hunger prangs.

Therefore the best way to lose weight is by exercising regularly and eating a balanced diet. Your meals much include proteins, fibers, vitamins and carbohydrates to keep your body fit and healthy. Including fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet and avoiding fried, oily junk food coupled with simple exercises like brisk morning walks will help you lose weight the healthy way.
