The Dont’s to keep in mind while fighting obesity

October 14, 2008


An earnest dream of humans is to stay fit, flat and free from hanging fat flab. Interestingly, 90% of the people falling between the age group of 30-50 years crave for the desire to have a muscular body without having fat flab hanging around, but most of them do not know the reality of weight loss programs. Lucrative advertising and people becoming fat to flat on TV screen makes us feel certain that by following the advice shown by the extremely muscular good looking guy or girl on the TV screens would make us have the same physique as well. This is how most of us fall into the trap of modern day advertising. Although, not everything that is advertised is bad, but sanity is a must before a decision is made. Taking care of a few dont’s enlisted below could be beneficial before deciding the suitability of a particular exercise program.Don’t think of an overnight miracle

It took you long years of no or very less exercises to get the extra fat, don’t expect it to go in with a touch of magic wand. Slimming is a gradual process, and body response time to slimming program may vary as well.

Don’t starve yourself

Eat a proper food low in fats and carbohydrates, rich in proteins and having enough calories to fulfil your body’s energy requirement. Starving would never lead to a fit body, albeit it may lead to long lasting diseases and physical disorders.

Don’t push too hard

Always remember this word of caution, each individual has a threshold to take stressful hard exercise, don’t cross that limit. Over exerting could cause irreparable damage to the musculo-skeletal system and may also lead to tissue defragmentation leading to generation of stress proteins it. Stress proteins and stress hormones on the other hand increases the chance of fat deposition and making person obese.
