How to choose the right weight loss program?

While most people think eating right and exercising is the way to go for losing weight, in reality, it is not that simple or easy. First, studies show that physical exercise only helps to maintain weight, rather than help you to lose weight. Second, eating right or healthy is more like maintenance, and not designed for weight loss. In order to lose weight, you need to undercut the calories your body needs while at the same time as supplying all the nutrition using a strategy called very low calorie diet or low calorie diet. A physician supervised weight loss plan such as the popular W8MD weight loss program might be an option.

What is a healthy weight loss program?

A healthy weight loss program consists of:

  • A reasonable, realistic weight loss goal

  • Regular physical activity
  • A behavior change plan to help you stay on track with your goals

Rethinking Our Dietary Approach

Shifting focus from individual blame to understanding the complexities of obesity is crucial. A key factor is insulin resistance, impacting up to 71% of the population, with 35% experiencing metabolic syndrome.

Navigating Misinformation

The overwhelming presence of over 20,000 books and mixed messages on obesity medicine calls for guidance from experts like Dr Prab R. Tumpati, MD, who can provide clarity on the science and practice of this field.

The Downfall of the Food Guide Pyramid

The outdated and ineffective food guide pyramid, promoting a low-fat but high-glycemic diet, significantly contributed to increased insulin resistance and, consequently, weight gain.

Insulin resistance and weight gain

Insulin resistance is a physiological condition where the body's cells become less responsive to the hormone insulin. As insulin not only controls the blood sugar, it also controls the weight! Reducing the overall carbohydrate load and insulin levels is a key underlying concept in many low carbohydrate diets such as the ketogenic diet.

The Blame Game in Obesity

Understanding metabolic starvation

Weight gain isn't typically intentional. It often stems from the paradox of metabolic starvation in the obese, driven by insulin resistance and resulting in heightened insulin levels. This leads to persistent hunger, cravings, and further weight gain. Stop blaming the victim for obesity!
