Talking Openly About Weight Loss

By Chet Sandeksi


There are many hundreds of thousands of individuals who struggle with weight loss. These people typically strive diligently to lose the excess weight they carry with mixed results.

Manuel Uribe is a 47 year old man from Monterrey, Mexico. He is best known for his record as the heaviest living person in the world. Back in the early 2000s era, he hit an all-time high of 1,320 pounds. He had been bedridden for years and was looking for a way out of his predicament. Doctors and friends recommended weight loss surgery as the easiest way to literally get back on his feet.

Millions of Americans are obese, and one million more are overweight. Why do so many Americans have problems with weight?

There are several factors that are affecting the amount of obese and overweight people in America. First, we, as a culture, do not do very much walking. We are either sitting at home, sitting at work, or sitting in our cars. Generally, we do not use public transportation to travel places; because of this, we spend a lot of time in our cars.

First, they created a diet that dropped his daily intake of calories to 2,000. His diet consisted of egg-white omelets, fresh salads, chicken fajitas, fish fillet and spring greens. This diet did two things for him. First, it reduced the sheer amount of food Manuel was eaten. Instead of eating several hearty meals, his food intake was reduced drastically. The second thing it did was concentrate his diet on healthier foods. He received a more balanced diet that contained all of the normal, healthy nutrients that the body needs. With a controlled diet, the body can start shedding excess fat.

One great way for a person who cannot use their legs while exercising or for one who does not want to use their legs while performing cardio exercises to still receive the benefits of a cardio work out is to make good use of a punching bag. Using a punching bag, either will standing still or from a chair, gives the body a great cardio work out without the use of the legs.

People especially don't like changing the things that love and are familiar with. For example, they do not want to exercise more. They are used to rarely exercising or not exercising at all, so they do not want to change from that routine. Changing that routine would require work, effort, and pain, and people simply do not want to do it.

If a punching bag is not a good fit for the needs of the person looking to perform healthy cardio, then perhaps turning to the pool would be a respectable alternative. Swimming laps in a pool, like the other standard cardio exercise, has long since been a proven and effective cardio work out.

He learned the meaning of perseverance as he's spent a better fourth of his life fighting obesity. He took it a day at a time and made it happen. Any weight loss plan requires the same time and persistence to do it right. Avoid quick fix plans because they only give you temporary benefits. Lasting weight loss calls for a change of lifestyle that is unaffected by extreme diet plans. Eat less and more healthily.

Add in an exercise routine and a little bit of patience and you'll soon be wondering where all those pounds got to. Not that you'll be missing them of course.
