How to Lose Weight The Right Way
Losing weight can be difficult, many diets and exercises don't work. Fad diets, such as
HCG diet, Military Diet, cleansing, and detox diets, don’t usually work. These types of diets try to
replace exercise with eating less, which leads your body to think that you’re starving. Your body
will then hold onto every calorie it can, causing you to gain weight. When you try a fad diet,
your body loses water instead of fat. The weight you lose on a fad diet, or seem to lose anyway,
is water weight. Fad diets lead to dehydration, which mixed with hunger, lead to fatigue. This
makes you tired, and not in the mood to exercise. When you stop exercising, your body can’t
build muscles, this will lead to muscle loss. Not only will you lose strength, it will slow your
metabolism. A slower metabolism, due to muscle loss, means you lose weight slower. A major
problem with fad diets is that they cut out a specific food group, such as carbohydrates or fats.
Cutting a certain food group out of what you consume is not healthy. To maintain good health,
your body needs foods from all food groups, including some fats and oils. So how can you lose
weight? Keeping a balanced diet, eating a healthy amount of protein, carbs, fruits, vegetables,
and dairy everyday. Exercise daily; take a walk, jog, go to the
gym, swim, play sports, do something active every day for at
least an hour. Get enough sleep, a good sleeping pattern is
crucial for remaining healthy. And most of all, don’t follow fad
