People can be overweight for several reasons and not all of them are a matter of poor diet choices. Some people suffer from genetic disorders or a genetic predisposition to gain weight, neither of which they can help. Other people suffer from being overweight because they have developed poor eating habits, have a busy lifestyle or have a routine that is not conducive to good diet practices. Other than cases of heredity many people simply gain weight over time but are aware enough to keep a close eye on the situation and their health and therefore have no need of fast weight loss.
Weight matters, just ask a diabetic, so weight loss matters as well. Does fast weight loss ever matter? Moreover, if so then who does fast weight loss matter for?
People interested in fast weight loss fall into one of two categories. Those who are very large and have just had a wakeup call about how that weight is effecting their health and life expectancy and those who believe the hype surrounding every diet guru’s “secret” formula to super model slim bodies by following a special course of action, for a onetime fee of course!
If you talk to any health expert, they will tell you that the safe rate of weight loss that the average person can achieve through better eating habits and some exercise is 1-2 pounds per week. This is safe, healthy and sustainable for long lasting results. You can also use Proactol a safe over the counter product, which binds to fat, and achieve 2-3 pounds of weight loss each week. A safe easy to use product will help you attain fast weight loss.
If you are like most people who are keen on losing weight you would probably like to see it fall off much faster, like 10-15 pounds in a week’s time instead of 1 or 2. Think about what you are asking though, have you ever gained weight that quickly. More than likely not, and if your body does not put it on that fast it will not take it off that fast without serious damage to your health and well being anyway.
Starvation diets for weight loss have always been around and each generation tries a version of it. The problem is the weight that is lost is not fat but rather muscle tissue and fluid. Not to mention the sleep and money that is lost to these endeavors! Fast weight loss under these circumstances is unnatural and disturbs the natural rhythm of the body. Most often weight loss like this will quickly be reversed and more often even more weight will return.
In the cases of extreme obesity when health is seriously threatened by the excess weight, fast weight loss could be essential in saving a person’s life. This is a time when bariatric surgery may be just what the doctor orders. There are weight loss surgeries called gastric bypass or laparoscopic banding, Lap Band. During surgery, the stomach is stapled or banded to create a small pouch for a stomach. After surgery, patients are limited in what and how much they can eat by this physical change. This eliminates weight gain and spurs rapid weight loss; most people will be allowed to return to work within a few weeks of the surgery.
