Hundreds of articles about weight loss ...
Losing weight isn't about shedding pounds as quickly as possible.
It's about sticking to a sensible diet that gives you the energy and
nutrients you need - and treating yourself sometimes too! It's also
about finding ways you can incorporate more physical activity into your
daily life.
The Nutracheck online weight loss system does not
recommend a daily target of less than 1,400 calories per day. While
anything over 1,000 calories per day is still is deemed acceptable, Dr
Ian Campbell, medical adviser to Nutracheck, believes that a lower
level than 1,400 makes the diet unnecessarily restrictive - and the key
to success is sustaining a diet. A lower calorie target may result in a
quicker weight drop initially, but the question is how long can you
sustain it for? It is better to go for a safe steady loss of 1 - 2lbs
per week. After all, the weight did not pile on overnight - conversely
we should not expect to magically lose it overnight either!
Faddy
diets that cut out foods unnecessarily, or don't keep away the hunger
pangs or exclude foods you enjoy, are a recipe for disaster. Instead
you have to change your lifestyle and think long term: a weight loss of
a pound a week may not seem much but it adds up to around a stone in
three months.
