Staying Fit After Losing Works Best With A Permanent Weight Loss Solution

By Diane Turner


Many people learn about a new diet almost weekly. It may be something discovered by a scientist or healthcare professional or an innovative sensationalized product endorsed by a celebrity. Usually, advertisers will choose someone who is known for their battle with the bulge and one a person sees the before and after shots, out goes their credit card. Six to eight weeks later, they may have great results or none at all but within a year, the bulge is back with a little extra. Those who have an ongoing battle to stay fit find that a permanent weight loss solution is the best measure.

What most people do not consider when they start some diet they found in a magazine or on television is how long can they keep eating like this. It is normal to only think about the present and fast results. However, anyone who is looking to have a quality life should seek habits that are realistic and do not cost a lot of money.

One commonality is busy adults who want to lose but they often find themselves eating on the run. Casual and fast food places are not ideal, even when they market themselves as a healthier option. For instance, many franchises that sell smoothies use some form of processed sugar or high fructose corn syrup in their products. Even the small premade sandwiches have copious amounts of sodium and fat.

Even those establishments that promote a meal or entree as being healthy, anyone considering these should look further to view the sodium and sugar count. Excess sodium creates extra fluid in the body and it has been scientifically proven that large amounts of sugar can lead to weight gain. While eating out is not the worst thing a person can do, even those with a healthy weight should limit eating these foods more than twice a week.

Another fact about dining out is that the portions are much larger than dietary recommendations. Although some people may try to bypass this by making it the only large meal of the day, sometimes it is consumed too late to burn off the damage with exercise. This holds especially true for those who have alcohol or dessert with their meal.

Those who are dealing with health concerns may need ample amounts of protein or carbohydrates in their diet as part of their recovery. In these instances, converting to a vegan diet or anything that restricts nutrients is not recommended. However, eliminating things like excess salt or sugar and choosing unsaturated oils for cooking is easier than most people think.

There are services approved by licensed nutritionists that specialize in premade meals that are healthy. While finding nutritious premade meals in the grocery aisle can be a scavenger hunt, there are a few that are filling and taste good. All this takes is a few minutes in the microwave or standard oven.

Most people have been conditioned to think that the most effective workout is an intense one. Fitness experts say that regular moderate workouts are better than doing something strenuous once a week or less. Moving at a gradual pace guarantees continuity and the excess pounds will melt faster. Also, there is less pain and muscle strain, so this is encouraging for many individuals to continue.
