Diet MakerHealthy Weight LossA Diet Maker prepares the dieter, not the diet, for healthy weight loss. This individual demands strict adherence to the three diet basics of weight loss -- Losing Fat, Gaining Muscle, and Practicing Good Habits. |
All three diet basics are necessary for healthy weight loss. Don't dismiss the diet maker or your initial weight lose success will be short lived. If you're not careful, Yo-Yo dieting with dangerous weight fluctuations will become the cycle that keeps you fat!
A few studies between 2001 and 2002 showed a significant increase in mortality with Yo-Yo dieting when compared to obese and nonobese controls with stable weight.
Starting a weight loss plan that promotes rapid weight loss, unbalanced meals, and little to no exercise, is placing yourself at risk for a lifetime of weight fluctuation and the distinct possibility of a premature death.
Better yourself. Improve. Rise above the doom and gloom and enjoy life! Exist! Be! Act! Start by losing weight and do so by following the diet basics:
- Lose weight by losing fat. Do it slowly, at a pace no greater than 1-2 pounds per week. Simply by cutting calories -- about 250 calories is all you need to cut back on -- and going slow, you will lose fat!
- Gain muscle! Muscle is your best protection from weight re-gain and will slow the natural weight gain of aging. Exercise. For some exercise tips and plans, go to Weight Loss Exercises.
- Learn and practice good habits. Good habits keep you thin. Do two things:
