An effective weight loss program has many components, all of
which must contribute to meeting the nutritional needs of the
dieter, as well as provide a solid foundation of help and
support. So what are the hallmarks of an effective weight loss
program?
First and foremost, an effective weight loss program will
center on calories consumed as calories expended. The program
will help you determine these amounts. If a diet does not take
this into consideration, it might help you lose weight
initially, but we cannot consider it to be an effective because
it's not sustainable over time.
Good programs will have some tracking mechanism for how much
food you take in. Whatever the method, it's important to keep
track of EVERYTHING you eat during the day. You should keep your
food diary strictly, including that mouthful of chili you
sampled while cooking.
Then, you can find out how much energy you burn during a day.
This calculation may involve some tricky math, but an effective
weight loss program will have a way to figure it out. The
standard rule applies: have a 500 calorie deficit each day to
lose a pound a week.
The second hallmark of an effective weight loss program is a
good exercise routine. This should include both cardiovascular
and some sort of free weight (anaerobic) training. A combination
of the two will accomplish your weight loss goals the quickest,
because in addition to burning fat it will add muscle, which
will add to your calorie deficit.
The third hallmark is help from the staff or author. This is
not always possible if a diet has been around a long time.
However, if you can have nutrition experts or weight loss
specialists on your side, it will take the guesswork out of
losing weight.
The fourth hallmark is maintenance, an extremely important part
of your diet and exercise program. Does it leave you in the dark
after you reach your goal weight? An effective weight loss
program will at least have an extensive explanation of how to
continue your success, but better yet, it may even have on-going
support.
The fifth hallmark of an effective weight loss program is
proof. A good diet and exercise regime will have people who are
willing to give testimonials. You can often spot fake
testimonials if you notice that they all use similar language.
You may see the phrase "Results not typical", which is OK as
long as you can find out what "typical" is. An effective weight
loss program will be able to show you proof it works, at least
for those who stick with the program.
The sixth hallmark is cost efficiency. If a diet and exercise
program is more than you can afford, it will cause you undue
stress. This is counterproductive when dieting, as stress
releases hormones that tell the body to store fat - working
against your efforts. That expensive bottle of pills or that
high-class gym membership may not be the best place to start if
your finances can't support such items. But remember - a program
doesn't have to be expensive to be effective.
There are hundreds of programs available to choose. All you
need to do is a little "due diligence" and you'll soon find
which is the most effective weight loss program for you.
