What works for weight loss? It is the most coveted of the
last twenty years question. More than 1,300 million people suffer from obesity
in the world and the number is rising. In the US one third of the population it
is obese and an estimated 42% of Americans suffer from obesity by 2030. The
answer is increasingly difficult to find. Obesity is no longer just a health
issue, it is also an economic issue.
The weight loss industry is worth more than 60 billion
dollars a year in the United States.
Article Myths, presumptions, and Facts About Obesity,
published in the prestigious scientific journal The New England Journal of
Medicine, a dozen experts from ten American universities reveal the truth on
seven myths associated with obesity do not help you lose weight by the
scientific evidence.
Scientists refute
some myths and false beliefs that circulate among the population and are
disseminated by media, government agencies or by some doctors. The authors
believe that these popular beliefs are counterproductive to the development of
effective policies to combat obesity. For example they allege that
breastfeeding does not protect against obesity, or conclude that rapid weight
loss is not bad, eating breakfast on a regular basis does not prevent obesity
or eating fruits and vegetables helps not to lose weight. Some critics as the
article published in Forbes Leah Binder questioned some conclusions, as some
scientists who signed the labor share interests with food or pharmaceutical
industry. One of the findings that Binder dropped is that the scientific paper
endorses the prescription of substitute medication and food to combat obesity.
Could those results to corner the advice of thousands of nutritionists
recommend as cheap and easy guidelines to follow as "improving your diet
and move"?
Obesity, a reality with a thousand faces
The answer to the
question what really works to lose weight? It is slippery. Most experts agree
that obesity in many (cultural, environmental, genetic, behavioral,
neurological, psychological ...) factors involved and it is very difficult to
find a cure for them. There are no miracles or magic to fight the great
epidemic of the century formulas.
The best way to lose
weight is ...
The weight is regained: every day new diets that promise
weight loss insurance -Diets success of a single food, dissociated diets Dukan
Diet ... But in the end, do not work are invented. In addition they endanger
health.
The most effective slimming cures, for now, pass through a
-low in calories-calorie diet and exercise , if aerobic better. The reason is
simple: fewer calories and more exercise equals less weight.
If only becomes diet, fat and lean tissue something is
decreased, but also exercise is performed, it is lost fat and muscle tissue
remains even increases. Its effect on the metabolism continues for hours, and
more calories are eliminated. Additionally exercise training increases the
feeling of well-being and self-esteem. Aerobic exercise it is better to burn
calories than resistance training, according to a study published in December
in the Journal of Applied Physiology, which compared both to determine which is
best suited for weight loss and fat.
In scientific
research involved 119 overweight adults sendentarios or obesity, which were
divided randomly into three groups: one practiced aerobic exercise, strength
training and other third group a combination of both for eight months. The
results showed that the aerobic group lost more fat than others.
If you suffer from overweight or
obesity, the best diet is not a diet: definitely changed to a balanced, varied
and healthy eating for life, limiting saturated fats, junk foods and increasing
the consumption of fruits and vegetables, and most importantly, do not let
physical exercise every day (if you can not play sports, walk ...). It works!
