The bottom line is: " Losing weight is fairly easy. One just cuts back on their food intake and performs a bit of exercise and wa-lah! They are thin again." Right? Wrong..... The fact is: " Losing weight is the most difficult task in the universe. Losing weight takes extreme dedication and perseverance. And once the weight is off, the individual must continually strive to keep the weight off." The chief reason why permanent weight loss is so difficult to achieve is due to the complexity of our individual bodies. Take Jack and Jill as an example. Even though both may be the same weight and height, both require different amounts of calories per day due to their individual make-up. Because Jack is a male, his body tends to contain more muscles. Muscles require more energy (calories) to support.
Other factors that fall into the overall equation include: speed of metabolism, body frame size, activity level, medical condition, age, stress level and ethnicity. But before we climb into the complexities of weight loss - let's dive right into the simplicity. The following pages will set forth an answer to the age-old question, " How do I lose weight and keep it off forever?" And they will do such in the most simplistic of ways - beginning with baby steps.
