I am writing this article due to a common mistake. Most people are not familiar with the definition of weight loss. They don’t know why they want to lose weight. Some people have serious health problems, but for most people, weight loss is a matter of fashion and beauty. I know you have your own reasons for losing weight, but make sure your reason is clear enough to provide you with a clear path.
9 out of 10 girls try to lose weight every day. Women are always depressed about their weight gain. For teens, weight loss is a daily fad, not a health concern. So what is weight loss? Is it a fashion or health problem?
I know you have been trying to lose weight for some time. Her doctor recommended that she diet to lose weight. How can you tell if you are overweight or not?
Last week a customer asked me this question:
“I have a BMI of 24. I am happy and healthy. Do you think I should lose weight?”
This question got me thinking. If someone lives a healthy life, they don’t need to lose weight. In scientific terms, when your doctor invites you to lose weight, he wants you to avoid these diseases:
- Heart attacks
- Increase in cholesterol levels.
- High blood pressure
- Diabetes
If you can maintain your health despite weight gain; no need to worry about extra pounds.
However, this is not the case. Most people want to lose weight because they want to look smart and attractive. They don’t have any problems with their health but they don’t feel pretty.
To live a healthy life, our bodies store fat for the reproductive system, to protect nerves and tissues, and for energy storage. This is good. However, too much fat storage affects your health and body shape.
BMI (Body Mass Index) is a measurement that gives a result based on your height and weight. However, BMI does not tell us about pregnancy, bodybuilding, and many other factors. There are many tests including fat analysis, metabolism checker, etc. These tests determine whether or not you are overweight.
If you are overweight and have excess fat, it can cause health risks.
At this point the term weight loss comes into play. New and old studies have shown us that consuming more calories and burning fewer calories is the most common reason for gaining weight. The increased calories are stored in the thighs and hips and cause weight gain. This is the best known definition of “weight gain.”
The term obesity means that your weight is greater than the ideal body weight for a certain height. Millions of Americans are overweight or obese. To fix your obesity, the term weight loss has been introduced. Losing extra pounds is known as body weight loss. However, this can be done in a million ways:
- Diet
- Exercise
- Supplements
- Yoga
- Chinese traditions such as acupuncture and other healing terminologies.
- Join the gym / weight loss center
- Combination of diet and exercise
As you can see, full-term weight loss includes all of these factors. To lose weight effectively, all of these factors must be combined and acted upon. But before you act, you need to know what weight loss means to you. This is important. If you want to lead a healthy life, you should never go for strict diet plans. In most cases, people want to look smart and that is why they use schemes like lose weight in 24 hours, etc. Whichever path you choose, it will largely depend on your reason for losing weight.
Thank you for reading!
