Rapid Weight Loss The More Traditional Way
August 19th, 2009
For many people rapid weight loss is something they want but often going through a detox is something that turns them off. Many people are looking for something a little more traditional when it comes to losing those few pounds.
When thinking of dieting we often think about calorie control or calorie counting as well as eating smaller portions and including exercise into the regime. If this is something that interests you then we have a great solution. But….
Always ensure:
- Your diet allows you to eat interesting and tasty food.
- Your diet doesn’t require you to eat odd combinations of food.
- You don’t have to spend hours working out calorie content.
Most importantly make sure your diet doesn’t reduce your calories so drastically that your body goes into ‘starvation mode’ and you then stop losing weight or even put weight back on.
This is actually very common with a lot of the more traditional diets that drop your calories right to the floor. It alerts your brain to thinking you are being starved, so your body then works extra hard to hang on to every calorie you eat in order to survive.
A lot of people experience this and it is the very reason why they often find themselves able to lose 10 lbs in 1 week but then slowing down in week 3 to losing just 1 pound. By week 4 or 5 weight loss has stopped and sometimes no matter how little food they eat, they put weight on.
Luckily there are several diets out there that have addressed this problem.
- Calories are gradually reduced to ensure that ‘starvation mode’ is never reached.
- Food pans are ready worked out for you.
- Interesting and tasty foods are included in the right portions.
With a good diet that allows you to still enjoy food and see great weight loss benefits you should get slim and still not feel like you are under a strict diet of lettuce and lettuce and then….more lettuce! LOL!

I have found the most difficult thing with any diet is the calorie counting and the preparation of the food. It is hard enough on the body to accept the different foods we give it. On top of that we need to overwork our brain to decide what to eat.

Yes it’s a challenge for a lot of people. Thats why something with ready made meal plans is a great work around.
Your article offers excellent advice. In order to lose weight, it is necessary to consume less calories than your body needs to maintain your current weight. However, it is equally important that you don’t starve yourself in the process, or your body will just think it needs to use less calories. You’ll wind up being tired, hungry and irritable and you won’t achieve the weight loss you desire. Control your calories and eat healthy and you will lose weight and keep it off.

i dont think pills are recommendable but nice article with great deal of facts
Agree with you here, that things should be taken slowly, and have a plan to follow.
But while a good diet plan is important, I think a good workout is as equally important. I always like to plan one day of swimming per week, on another day play some tennis, and the third day a nice run through the park. And between these days, if I feel the need, I just go out for a walk, and take my dog with me, this way we both get some exercise.

Good article. I also think it’s important to take things slow when you’re losing weight. In my opinion, when people lose weight fast, they tend to put it back on even faster. And they usually put on even more weight than they had in the first place.

Diets usually don’t last very long because most people take the fun out of it. You can only go so long before you abandon the bland tasting diet. There are many good tasting foods on the market that are healthy. The main thing is to stay clear of fast foods.

Fast weight loss often happens for the first week or two when you go on a low calories diet, like eating just a couple of small meals a day. However once your body realises it is going very short on calories it thinks it is starving so slows its metabolism right down in order to hold onto the energy/fat that it does have in order to stay alive. Eating regularly does the opposite to this and is the key to long term weight loss!
