How to lose weight without a fuss?

 There's almost an universal obsession with people wanting to lose weight. Poll any 5 people you meet today and ask them how they feel about their body or poll them about their current weight? Four out of five will talk about how they want to lose their paunch or the extra weight around their hips. Even those who you think are in their normal weight range have this desire to lose that extra couple of kilos. Everyone is aiming for some ideal in their head. 

There are 3 ways to lose weight. One is to cut down on the amount of food you eat. Through exercising diet control, cutting out the excess carbs, adding more protein to your diet and increasing the amount of fresh produce that you consume daily you can naturally lose weight without changing other factors. The principle here is eat less than you burn off. So, if your natural calorie requirement is 2000 calories/day you cut it down by say 400-500 calories/day and over 2-week period you will lose around 2 pounds. 


This simple change will work for those who have to just lose a 5-10 lbs excess weight. However if you carry a lot more of excess weight, then you need not only clean eating habits, strict dietary control and something more. Junk and processed food need to be completely eliminated from the equation. Another way to lose weight is to lead a more active lifestyle. 

If you are couch potato simply adding a morning walk will help shed the excess fats and kilos. If you already walk, then add an extra half hour of walking, increase the speed of your walk or include cardio or strength training. Just move more. If you find yourself sitting for more than half hour, get up and walk to the water cooler to grab a glass of water. That brings to us to hydration. Drink plenty of water to keep the metabolism working in peak condition. 


Apart from diet, cleaner eating and exercise is there a good way to lose weight? 

No. But you should get evaluated by health professional to find out if you have health condition that is preventing your best efforts at weight loss. Proper evaluation should reveal any problems. But, don't blame it for you lack of progress. 

Get advice from dieticians for proper diet advice for your body type. Hire a professional to help you in the gym and to tailor the right activities for you to lose weight. A simple evaluation by professionals about your eating/exercise habits will reveal any lacunae. 

If you are consuming 3 cups of ice cream while staying well within your calorie limit you may still not be losing weight because those calories come from junk food. You have to eat more natural and fresh foods as these don't just supply vital nutrients but need calories to digest them. 

So in effect you are actually burning even more. Sugary stuff don't any effort from your body to digest. You may also be underestimating your calorie intake. So, do it the right way by getting professional help.

 A low carb diet is desirable because it makes it more efficient for your body to regulate the hormone insulin. Insulin controls how various cells in your body take up glucose from the blood and use it to generate energy within the various tissues. This ensures that blood glucose levels are maintained within a narrow range. Whenever too much glucose enters into cells, the excess that is not required for energy production will be stored away in the form of fat. A report published in one of the leading medical journals recently stated the a low carb diet brought down levels of insulin in the blood by 27%. At the same time, the sensitivity of cells to insulin was increased. Together this helps optimize the metabolism of glucose without placing an undue burden on any other organ or system. In turn, this reduces the chance of weight gain or development of diabetes. A low carb diet therefore can enhance glucose uptake, keep blood sugar levels low, and safeguard against the later develop...
