Since 1986, we have provided clinical treatment for obesity and excess weight using innovative doctor-supervised weight loss programs, serving Spring, Texas and the surrounding communities. And it gets worse. That crash diet, although it may produce results in the short-term, could actually end up making you fatter. 'The shrinking of your fat cells during a crash diet actually drives the production of new fat cells - think of it like a petrol shortage: people fill their tanks with petrol as well as Jerri cans so they've got a reserve.' Couple this with changes to your energy levels (you'll have less of it) and appetite (you'll be hungrier) from consuming fewer calories and you're looking at your body's attempt to better prepare itself for the next 'crisis'. 'The propensity for weight gain remains even one year after fat loss,' Dr Collins says.
Once my body had adjusted itself to the dance routine, it was time for some add on. I surfed through YouTube for all the possible exercise videos. I did my research and selected the best videos targeting different areas - exercise for the arms, hips, belly fat etc. Slowly I progressed to 30 minutes of dance + 30 minutes of YouTube exercises. I then joined a local gym and did basics like using the treadmill and 1-2 kg weights for my arms.
Many people use drinks full of calories to quench their thirst. Sugary drinks (such as cola, tea and coffee with sugar and milky drinks) all contain calories. Alcoholic drinks also contain a lot of calories. Giving up sugar in your tea or coffee is a simple way to help you to lose weight. Most people really miss the sugar at first but after a week or two without, they have got used to it. One of the easiest ways to cut back on calories is simply to drink water as your main drink. Drinking water just before meals may also help people to lose weight.
A study by the American Council on Exercise suggests casual clothing, as opposed to conventional business attire, can increase physical activity levels in our daily routines. Participants in the study took an additional 491 steps and burned 25 more calories, on days they wore jeans than when wearing traditional suit wear. That may sound trivial, but the calories add up! Researchers say keeping it casual just once a week could slash 6,250 calories over the course of the year—enough to offset the average annual weight gain (0.4 to 1.8 pounds) experienced by most Americans.
