Losing weight safely

Often the term weight loss is used to describe what is normally meant as achieving fat loss. A reduction in lean body tissue is rarely desirable. It is in fact counterproductive when it comes to long-term weight loss, as lean body mass is more metabolically active than fat, so will burn more kcal at rest.

Crash diets that utilise large kcal deficits will lead to the loss of lean tissue, as well as adversely affect health and performance. Education about safe weight loss is of key importance.

Respect nutrition guidelines

Ensure a balance of all food groups is consumed, in line with recommended intakes.

Body composition

It is important to monitor body composition changes rather than just weight.

Weight training

Add or increase weight training exercises which will help preserve muscle mass.

Meaningful results

Using measurements at specific sites of the body allows you to see where fat is being lost, which is far more useful and motivating information than anything a weighing scales can provide.

Benefits

Everyone has different reasons for wanting to lose weight. Some people might want to lower their blood pressure or cholesterol while others might want to simply feel more comfortable in their own skin. The benefits of weight loss go a lot further than just improved cardiovascular health. In fact, losing weight can have a positive impact on nearly every aspect of a person’s life.

Here are some rather surprising benefits of weight loss that aren’t discussed quite as often:

  • Carrying extra weight requires the body to use a lot of energy. When someone loses weight, their energy levels will skyrocket. Plus, the body can function much better when it’s supplied with nutritious food.
  • People who suffer from headaches or chronic migraines might notice these symptoms slowly vanish once they drop the pounds.
  • Foods with a high fat, sugar, and salt content – especially processed carbs – can trigger high levels of cortisol aka. the stress hormone. A weight loss regimen can reverse this.
  • Exercise tells the brain to release feel-good chemicals like endorphins leading to a more balanced mood and positive attitude.
  • When people feed their body the right vitamins and minerals, this could also improve cognitive function making jobs seem a lot less overwhelming.
  • People who lose weight tend to spend a lot less time sitting around the house. Instead, they get out and go to new activities where they can meet more friends.
  • Added weight puts a lot of stress on the immune system. This leads to more colds and other illnesses. Losing weight helps support the immune system and improve overall health.
  • High sugar foods and simple carbs put the kidneys and liver through a lot of stress. Improving the diet takes a lot of pressure off the body’s filtration system which means clearer skin and healthier hair.
  • After losing weight, people tend to sleep throughout the entire night and experience higher quality of sleep.
  • Unfortunately, society doesn’t treat overweight folks fairly. When someone loses weight, they may notice that people remember them more often.
