The “Quick Weight Loss Diet” Trap
Author: weightloss08 7th, 2009
Mark Kimathi asked:
If you been fitting in a size 14 just fine and you fall head over heels over a designer size 8 dress you can try to use it as a weight loss goal. But you will probably end up feeling guilty, frustrated, and angry if you are not slinking around in it a month later.
More often than not, you will do much better setting smaller, achievable targets for yourself. If you must use the new-clothes strategy, go down a size at a time. And for obvious reasons, do not buy anything you have to take out a second mortgage to pay for.
You see, the disadvantages of huge short term targets is that if you continue to insist on losing weight fast, you will automatically end up incorporating fad diets or those that offer quick weight loss.
Though there are quick weight loss techniques, for most people they are ill-advised. Gradual weight loss will often suffice. Nippy weight loss tactics for people who want to be slimmer than what their body can provide are not recommended either.
The problem with most people is that they tend to opt for nippy fixes, though these things are not effective for them most of the time.
Today, there are plenty of quick weight-loss strategies that are guaranteed to backfire. This is because these nippy fixes instilled on many diet plans are, in reality, not efficient. This is because they do not employ the right principle and the right attitude in losing weight. The failures can be by design or simply ignorance.
Many times quick weight loss diet plans are known as fad diets because that is exactly what they are, just a fad. In time, when the fashion is over and popularity wanes down, people realize that the diet they have depended on is not reliable at all.
To know more about these fad diets that are selling like hotcake in the market today, here is a list of some telltale signs that would tell you not to try them even once.
1. Skipping a couple of meals
Abstaining from food completely is not a healthy habit. It may even cause some serious complications or problems especially for people who are sick with diabetes.
Skipping meals will only cause a hypoglycemia, or the condition where your blood sugar is really low. Also it will probably only be effective in making you eat twice as much at the next meal.
Does your diet plan require you to skip at least one meal? Then you probably have in your hands a fad diet.
2. Complete lack of exercises
Physical activity is a natural and crucial physiological process to the human body. It is important for the proper blood circulation and other activities of the human body system. Not to mention the preservation of muscle tissue that keeps your metabolism high.
Therefore, diet plans that do not require you to exercise are a nuisance. People are born to move.
On the other hand, exercises alone are not sufficient. Infact you are more likely to get results with diets alone rather than with exercises alone. Hence, it would be better if diet and exercise go hand-in-hand.
With these two points in mind there is no better time to start losing weight like now. If you want to really lose that excess fat, you have to lose weight now, just navigate around those ill-conceived quick weight loss diets.
Delaying tactics will not get you anywhere and will only make the problem worse. Infact if your diet plan suggests a certain time frame for you start losing weight, chances are, you are following the trend of a fad diet.
It is best to rely more on the way you feel than the tale of the tape. This means that if the weighing scale tells you that you are losing weight albeit slowly than you would like, but you are feeling energetic and positive about your weight-loss efforts, then, you are just doing fine.
As mentioned, it is worth mentioning all over again, weight loss in long run is not a quick process.

How Healthy Can a Quick Weight Loss Diet Be?
Author: weightloss08 1st, 2009
Muna wa Wanjiru asked:
Is there such a creature as the quick weight loss diet? I mean, sure there is or are in existence thousands of so called quick weight loss diets but how effective are they? How are they on the person’s health? How long does the weight loss last; how quickly does the diet wear off?
I have always been impressed with celebrities who give birth and within weeks are back to pre-baby shape. What quick weight loss diet do they use? Do they use any? I am further impressed with the actors who gain and lose weight to play particular roles. Robert Deniro, for example, gained 60 pounds to play Jake LaMotta as the boxer aged and got stagnant in the docudrama Raging Bull. Minnie Driver added twenty pounds for the fat friend role she played in Circle of Friends, as did Rene Zellweger for her Bridget Jones roles. And the record-breaking weight addition was done by Vincent D’Onofrio, who gained 60 pounds to play the incompetent, picked-on soldier in the opening scenes of Full Metal Jacket. What kind of quick weight loss diet did they use afterwards, or what kind of quick weight loss diet do the stars use to play emaciated characters—those with eating disorders or those who are depicting concentration camp or natural disaster victims?
And further, the overriding question, if you are not a movie stay raking in a couple mill to do so, is this: How healthy can a quick weight loss diet be? Or, in conjunction, Is it worth it? I am not a doctor or medical specialist of any kind, but I have—as an overweight child, teen, and adult—experimented, read, studied, envied, and been alarmed by the quick weight loss diets mentality and habit and practice. I have fainted, had heart palpitations, and even accidentally overdosed on OTC (over-the-counter) weight loss pills. I have also seen students and friends lose the shine of hair, lose hair, become anemic, develop severe headaches, and need to be intubated to gain nourishment after having played with the Russian Roulette of the quick weight loss diet world.
The celebrities who do so gain and lose weight with seeming ease, are not doing it as a lifetime tradition. They might even be under medical supervision when they do so. When not working on a role that requires their changing their natural weight, they do not, typically, do quick weight loss diets (the actors with eating disorders excluded, here). They use healthy food plans. They exercise. They see food as food and not as love. They diet, but they diet according to the definition of the word as a structured menu of healthy foods that include grains, dairy, protein, nuts, and fruits and vegetables, or reasonable equivalents. We are the ones who turn their food-eating methods into fad “quick weight loss diets”!
