There is a reason why you can’t just google the best way to lose weight and keep it off. Diet and workout fads make people in the industry a lot of money.
Please do your due diligence and make sure you aren’t sinking money into a fad gym or diet regimen.
So many of the things promoted in fitness groups are bad for our overall health.
Juice is 100% dietary sugar. Even if you can lose weight drinking juice, you can develop “skinny diabetes. Juicing is one of the most heinous diet fads. If you love celery juice, go crazy. Please don’t drink juice for weight loss!
Fasting. This is controversial. Some people can and a lot of people can’t. Fasting causes certain people to binge eat. Others who have genetic diabetes can go into shock or comas. Please don’t fast or suggest other people fast unless you’re under the close supervision of a doctor—and even then, be weary. This falls under the “it depends on your body type and genetics” category. It’s a slippery slope to being pro-ana. There’s another way.
High impact exercise doesn’t help most (over 90%) people lose weight long term. Body composition is in your genetics. Low impact exercise can tone most bodies. Weight loss is mostly resting basal metabolic rate and CICO. If you love this exercise—do it. But it isn’t for the majority of people. P90X and HIIT DO NOT work long term for about 97% of people. If it works for you and you can sustain it, congratulations you won the genetic lottery and you have an athlete’s body. Don’t try to be like athletes if you just want to lose weight and be fit. You’re setting yourself up to fail.
Please get your thyroid checked. Get your vitamin levels checked. B, D, Iron, Magnesium. If you have hyperthyroidism, under no circumstances should you take stimulants or diet pills. A lot of supplements are dangerous for these folks. This is a great way to induce a stroke. We need to know what the whole body is doing to do this well.
Please stay off of tiktok. So much diet and exercise content is sponsored and sponsored content only exists to take your money.
On that note, if you read articles about weight loss, diets, or exercise (esp. places like Livestrong)—check to see if it’s sponsored. You can’t trust sponsored content. It isn’t required to be factual. If you like scientific studies, check to see if they’re peer reviewed. If they aren’t it’s not good info.
Please be patient and kind with yourself. Weight loss that’s quick and easy or expensive isn’t going to last. If it’s hype, make sure there’s real science behind it. Jumping around will certainly get your happy chemicals going, but most of it isn’t going to make you lose weight. Lifelong healthy eating, healthy sleep hygiene, and stress reduction will do more for you than any fad. It had to be about the whole lifestyle, not something you squeeze in after work. Nothing good is instant or easy.
You kinda have to love doing it. So pick the thing you love and do that.
The formula is simple: - Portion control (or calorie control) - Stop eating junk - Raise resting basal metabolic rate - Exercise for health and fun, not weight loss - De-stress - Drink water - Sleep
