Want to lose weight?
Most people tried in vain to lose some weight. Some tried dieting by reducing food intake. I know people that was paranoid of eating things like buiscuits, chocs and fatty stuff just because they are afraid that they'll be fat. For myself, i always tried to avoid fatty and oily foods. Not because i wanted to lose weight, but because i just don't like it.. Some tried rigorous exercise. I am slightly overweight, i admit that, based on my calculated BMI, i am on the border between accepted weight and overweight. However, recently, there is a little urge in me to start regular exercise. The last time i did good exercise is before my AS paper last year. I somehow lost my momentum and then everything went downhill. I have palpitations the other day when i played frisbee with two friends. It was quite bad that i scared byself with it.. I have become unfit..
After the incident, i realised that if i don't do something about it, my health will deteriorate in the future. I think i need to get a new pair of shoes for running. The shoes i have now isn't comfortable enough to run with.. stupid Bata shoes.. lol! I guess i should go back to Fila shoes i had last time, that was quite comfortable..
For those who are using diet programs over the market to try to lose weight, just an information, there is no proof that they will work. Sure you'll lose some weight initially after you follow them due to starvation of your system, but eventually you WILL regain the weight, possibly even more than the weight that you began with.
Enter the starvation response. The starvation response is a response of the body to starvation. As fat of the body is burnt away, our body goes into panic mode and tries to retain fat. So weight loss becomes increasingly difficult as more weight is lost. Insulin levels will also rise to help deposit fat into our bodies. The starvation response will hence, increase our weight. Most people that tried vigorous diet would feel discouraged because they will have no progress after losing some weight. They get blamed because people think that they are not strict and discliplined enough to keep up to their diets. It is quite impossible to oversome the starvation response. In the end, one will not be able to keep up with their diets and their weight will shoot up. So those that tried in vain, don't give up or blame yourself. Instead, there is a trick to suppresing the starvation response.. More to come soon..
