Metabolic Individuality And Weight Loss!

We see many famous people losing oodles of weight and then regaining all the weight very soon.
Many dieters find themselves in this trap of dieting to lose weight, only to have the pounds return and refuse to come off a second time. Why does this happen?

There are several reasons, including diet induced hypothyroidism (low thyroid function,) other diet induced metabolic imbalances, loss of lean tissues as well as metabolic individuality.

It helps to understand the three metabolic body types and the fat metabolism.

Before beginning any sort of dieting program, it is a good idea to consider why a change is desirable. There could be several reasons, such as beauty, health and others. The most unrealistic expectation concerns the appearance. All the models or actresses that we see on TV possess the natural body types of only a small percentage of people - they are not most of us. It is a good idea to find the ideal body weight, which is a healthful and sustainable weight that suits one's own metabolic individuality.

Physiology divides the body types into three general categories: ectomorphs (naturally slender), mesomorphs (large boned and muscular) and endomorphs (put on weight easily.) These body types are inherited.

Since it is not possible to change the body types, it is unrealistic to expect any diet program to change our body type.

Obesity can occur in any of these body types. If obese, realistic goals can be set to lose excess weight by undergoing a program consisting of a good diet along with a proper exercise program. You may not be svelte like that model on the TV, if you don't belong to that body type, but you will be healthy, which is what we should all be looking to achieve.
