Wherever you look, be it in the Internet, libraries, journals, magazines etc, you find an excess of information regarding all aspects of excessive body fat, including the causes, its effects on our well being, remedial measures etc.  But more people fall prey to this deadly disease on a daily basis.  Why is it so?  Most health experts quote a simple reason, that is, lack of proper knowledge on your personal needs and following generalized notions and practices. 

The reasons for obesity in you may differ from those of mine. Then how can you shed weight by following the fat control regime followed by me?  You need to understand why you are fat and fight the bulge accordingly.  Your body may not respond positively to what my body is responding to.  So please sit down and analyze your reasons at a personal level.  Your physical and mental endurance levels also need to be taken in account before setting a target for yourself.  

Some persons binge on food as if there is no tomorrow.  Some others remain couch potatoes throughout their lives.  Some  have wrong eating habits, while some have sleep disorders.  Even genetic factors like the thrifty gene and diabetes gene also play a negative role .  But most fat people are so because of our so called modern unhealthy lifestyles. Obesity has been proved to be the indirect cause of millions of deaths every year.  Heart ailments and diabetes are the biggest offenders here. 

Most fat reducing regimes come with side effects.  Excessive dieting can make you too thin and prone to diseases. Physical activities to unbearable limits may cause overall harm to your body.  Some dietary pills and appetite suppressants destroys the digestive system as well.  So you need to follow a balanced approach here.  Say no to confusing advises from friends or relatives and take the help of a professional only.  Stay away from chemical based dietary pills. Only specific fat-burning exercises should be followed. 

You can devise a weight control strategy after evaluating your present physical condition, reasons of your fatness, your lifestyles etc.  This would help you to root out the causes of your obese condition.   Nipping the roots require careful and diligent work on your part.  Otherwise, it would be like treating the symptoms only.  In such cases, obesity returns once you are off your strict regime and your condition would be even worse than before. 

Once you decide to shed weight, stick to your decision and defeat temptation.  Try to include as much vegetables in your diet and increase the intake of fiber.  You can even resort to internationally known weight loss foods like Acai berry, white kidney beans etc.  Follow it up with a suitable exercise regimen.  The process may be long and painful, but the fruit of such hard work is a blissful, happy and satisfied long life.  

So what do you want here?  An indulgent but painfully short life or a meaningful and healthy one?  The decision is yours.
