Weight Loss

Obesity is currently one of the world’s biggest health problems.

Obesity is a daily struggle for the rest of one’s life.

In today’s fast-paced life where one is overloaded with work and hard-pressed to meet deadlines, one often neglects health, making poor dietary and physical activity choices, which eventually leads to obesity or some serious health issue.

Being overweight or obese can lead to a range of health problems. Although many different “fad” diets are available, a balanced lifestyle and nutritious diet are the key to healthful living and better weight control.

People who have obesity, compared to those with a normal or healthy weight, are at increased risk for many serious diseases and health conditions, including the following:

All-causes of death (mortality)
High blood pressure (Hypertension)
High LDL cholesterol, low HDL cholesterol, or high levels of triglycerides (Dyslipidemia)
Type 2 diabetes
Metabolic Syndrome
Coronary heart disease
Stroke
Some kidney disease
Gallbladder disease
Osteoarthritis (a breakdown of cartilage and bone within a joint)
Sleep apnea and breathing problems
Many types of cancer
Pregnancy problems
Low quality of life
Mental illness such as clinical depression, anxiety, and other mental disorders
Body pain and difficulty with physical functioning

Weight loss is primarily dependent on reducing the total intake of calories, not adjusting the proportions of carbohydrate, fat, and protein in the diet.

The study supports the idea that eating less of the higher-calorie-dense foods and more of the nutritious, lower-calorie-dense foods can help to manage hunger while consuming fewer calories.

To be effective, exercise training for weight loss needs to be integrated into a lifestyle approach to weight loss, including exercise combined with diet.

A diet with adequate meal timing and frequency has a pivotal role in glucose control and weight loss.

Achieving and maintaining weight loss is possible when people adopt lifestyle changes in the long term.

Here are 9 tips to lose weight faster

Eat a high protein breakfast. Eating a high protein breakfast could help reduce cravings and calorie intake throughout the day.
Avoid sugary drinks and fruit juice. Empty calories from sugar aren’t useful to your body and can hinder weight loss.
Drink water before meals. One study showed that drinking water before meals reduced calorie intake and may be effective in weight management.
Choose weight-loss-friendly foods. Some foods are better for weight loss than others. Here is a list of healthy weight-loss-friendly foods.
Eat soluble fiber. Studies show that soluble fibers may promote weight loss. Fiber supplements like glucomannan can also help.
Drink coffee or tea. Caffeine consumption can boost your metabolism.
Base your diet on whole foods. They’re healthier, more filling, and much less likely to cause overeating than processed foods.
Eat slowly. Eating quickly can lead to weight gain over time, while eating slowly makes you feel more full and boosts weight-reducing hormones.
Get good quality sleep. Sleep is important for many reasons, and poor sleep is one of the biggest risk factors for weight gain.
