Achieving Long-Term, Permanent Weight Loss Without Counting Calories

Wednesday, January 21, 2015 7:19

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

It’s January, which means millions of people are looking to shed unwanted pounds. Gym memberships have been bought, diets have been started, and resolutions are in full swing. These are all the things determined to make this year THE year to finally lose weight and keep it off for good.

With America’s overweight and obesity rate reaching 68.5% in adults (33.6% overweight, 34.9% obese), these much needed and well-intentioned weight loss efforts are a welcome site.¹ However, if history plays out like it has, then we’re not likely to see any real progress in our bid for slimmer waistlines, as evidenced by this 2014 global systemic analysis report on obesity published in the Lancet: “Not only is obesity increasing, but no national success stories have been reported in the past 33 years.”²

That’s over three decades of failure, enough to make anyone want to quit even before getting started. All hope is not lost though. What we need to do is re-evaluate how we approach weight loss in the first place. We can’t keep doing the same thing and expect different results.

PRIORITIZE YOUR HEALTH FIRST AND WEIGHT LOSS WILL FOLLOW

Two major flaws plague today’s status quo weight loss programs. First, many people’s goal is simply to lose weight and nothing else. Unfortunately, health is not at the forefront of their efforts to lose weight. This is a major problem. Why? Because there are many ways to lose weight, and not all of them improve health. Some may actually lead to worse health.

For example, an overweight person can lose weight by taking up the habit of smoking methamphetamine. A crystal meth drug addict is never overweight, at least not after perfecting his/her habit in the long term. Becoming an addict can guarantee you weight loss. It can also guarantee you a chance at becoming psychotic, suffering seizures and cardiac arrhythmias, and trying to escape death due to a heart attack or stroke.³ Not exactly what one would desire for their weight loss efforts.

There are various other ways to lose weight—and lose health—as well, including chemotherapy treatments, cocaine addiction, not eating at all, and so forth. Just because you accomplish your goal of weight loss doesn’t mean you’ve done yourself any favors overall. Many diets fall into this category and simply focus on weight loss only, while ignoring the health risks that come with the diet. The HCG diet is one of those. You can read about the details of this diet in my article, The HCG Diet – Short TermWeight Loss, Long Term Health Risks.

The crux of the matter is that health should always be at the center of anyone’s weight loss plans, not just simply the loss of weight itself. The pounds will naturally come off if you take care of your health first.
