In which we are going to measure the result of losing weight?

Understands what it's about? No worries the depression, so there is no fear before the meal, and that has raised the self-esteem, all of this is not the result.

Few pounds yielded per month to just two...

Lose weight at any price!?

The limitation of the

So it is, and vice versa. A woman takes diuretics, laxatives, sits on a buckwheat that is not even baked and eaten a little boiled in the water.

She's pale, she could barely drag legs. But of weights for two weeks, I have lost a whole 4 pounds.

The result? In my opinion, full absence, and even more than that, it is much worse than a zero. But many with me do not agree, and even will envy until this to the poor. It is necessary, up to four kilos in two weeks! What is the effect, what a formidable force of will!

And then a valid question, in that in general you should measure the result of losing weight? And what result should be considered good and what bad?

Of thinning. Criteria of success. The real and imaginary

Traditionally, the results of thinning measured and continue to measure only in kilograms and centimeters. Take any ad – "we Guarantee the result of more than 8 kilos in a month!", "You lose weight, for at least 6 kilos in two weeks!", "You are going to lose kilos and centimeters volumes, one by one!".

In conversations with friends, discovering that someone to lose weight 20 pounds, we are surprised by the result, we find out what is the method by which it was able to perform this process, and is already ready just morning to apply by himself. If we know that weight loss was 6 or 8 kg, we say: "Yes, well, but, agree, not thirty, and not yet 20". And since it is pretty important it seems to us the weight reduction of 1 to 2 kilos per month.

The history of thinning of natasha

Kilos and centimeters, the rest does not interest us. But the withdrawal kilos, do not always give us what we expect.

This is the story of one of my patients. So, natasha M., 18 years old, 178 centimeters of growth, 102 kilos of weight. High, full and in the fullness of her slender and beautiful girl. At the beginning of the issue with the loss of weight she was doing very well. Months, three-to-four natasha I've lost 20 kilos, very near approaching to the mark of 80 kg in Forward, the weight reduction has been delayed, and in about a month we print in the place of pounds here and there.

Then, it is worth it in my cabinet in front of the mirror, critically examines his figure, and said sadly: "hundred and eighty. The same!". It is as well as! With the hope along with the loss of weight to solve some of their problems and not find solutions, and natasha, naturally, came to despair.

I think, and the slowdown in the reduction of weight in the last month of our profession is due to that. After all, if nothing changes for the better (that cent that the eighties!), what sense has to control their diet, exercise, limit sugar, and so on?

It is about 12 years ago. And then I, like most of my patients, the main criterion of effect seen in precisely the amount of drops the pounds. But this case was, perhaps, one of the first in fact made me hesitate at this approach.

If the aim of extra pounds, then why natasha is not happy? Means for yourself reset weight still is not the most important.

Us with my patient then had to spend several weeks to be able to understand what is actually expected natasha to lose weight and could not get?

It has been clarified that the main problem of my patient in the sensation of feeling ugly, or, as would a psychologist, in a low self-esteem. Possibly, the cause was a noticeable mole on the face, perhaps, as is often the case, the fullness has been developed since then, as a reaction to overeating, when food is necessary and as a comfort and a "cure" of experiences about one's own appearance?

Here is the result, that, limiting in eating and even lose the kilos of more, my patient, however, could not get rid of hostile descent himself of the relationship. Here and the depression, and the slowdown in the reduction of weight, and the imminent threat of breakage.

Now, when the cause is found, we send efforts in the correction of the self-esteem. Normally, we are all a little obscure. All of us have A lack of understanding of their characteristics, uniqueness, lacks the natural feel of life, of the life of his own body.

Naturally, and natasha was no exception. It seemed to her that she is ugly, but IN REALITY, she didn't know. I'm not going to bore the reader with the psychological complexity of work. Of course, it is not always so easy and successful, but in the case of natasha the thing has gone well, his deal was pretty quickly changing. And immediately has influenced the results of weight loss. In the month of natasha, especially not for the effort, I have lost five kilos.

Let us remember: why do we have to lose weight, in reality?

Waist

Actually, losing weight is not we are to be bad, and not only weighs less, than now. We hope to lose weight to attain a new quality, approaching to a state of harmony and happiness. But these feelings depend not only on kilos. And since, therefore, measure the result in kilograms, to think that the more weight has been better, and most importantly, build in all your tactic of thinning, it is false. And here's why...

Of thinning. Common sense and your complete lack of

This tactic is dangerous for health because it motivates a person to respect too rigid diet and punish yourself workouts. Induces to apply effects, nothing to do with products to lose weight do not have, but at the cost of extracting the liquid, which lead to some brief reduction of weight. The people sit in the bath, train in warm clothes, trying to cause the most sweating, use of diuretics and laxatives, only to see the scale lower figure than the previous day.

But the hunger is dangerous to the decline in immunity and, as a minimum, the development of the diseases of cold, as well as the formation of stones in the gallbladder, the development or exacerbation of gastritis and ulcer of stomach and duodenum. The use of enemas and laxatives can lead to the development of atonic or spastic colitis.

This tactic dramatically increases the likelihood of breakage and premature withdrawal of efforts. Since it directly focuses on the DETERIORATION of the QUALITY of LIFE. The feeling of hunger, water scarcity, extreme tiredness, of exhaustion, of training! Most people cannot tolerate this in the day-to-day. As it only suspends the reduction of weight, all the torment of losing the sense, and the state becomes unbearable. But after the failure often occurs in excess and rampant weight gain of origin, and to a higher level. The tactic of kilograms at any price" often becomes the cause of the next round of promote weight gain.

In this, the traditional approach, after hearing all kinds of ads about 10-15 pounds in a month, we can't agree on the methodology that dan, in our opinion, an effect, say, 2-3 pounds per month. Even if this result can be obtained without much hassle, and promises to be persistent.

Finally, the most important thing. The tactic of kilograms at any price" it goes against modern ideas about the nature of excess weight and the ways of their solution. The majority of scientists today is considered as one of the main causes of those extra pounds not only "redundant" or "bad eating behavior", and an imbalance between nutrition and physical activity and/or an increase in function of the food, as a protective factor against anxiety, bearer of the joy and the fun.

The main postulate of thinning

Dumbbells

With this vision, the main problem postulated slimming is the full and most importantly, careful approach to moderate restrictions in the diet, in combination with tonic exercises, in addition, some type of impact that help stay clear, of a positive attitude – the normalization of sleep, hiking, massage, nice bath or shower. For the creation of a positive attitude, feelings of commitment, for a more clear understanding of the motivation is often required to work with the psychologist or the psychiatrist. And if this work is properly performed, the slimming process is considerably facilitated. Agree, a good mood, so necessary for the success of loss of weight, it is problematic, if the person torturing hunger, the sport, itself, takes laxatives.

And from there, we are in agreement that a good result, this is the result, without any kind of psycho-emotional and physical discomfort. And the second question is how much has fallen kilos. Since this is used only the effects that they themselves gave him some benefit. You have no doubt that the result of his willingness to stay firmly. Because you receive is not in the fight, and in union with them, was obtained thanks to the version resistant to change of life style that led him to the fullness, to the new, more forceful and more careful himself. This style of life tends to lead to maintain your weight, or continue reducing it.

By the way, it is not necessary to consider this combination of tactics as a commitment. Supposedly with diuretics and buchweizen, that, to their detriment and not for a long time, you can reset a lot of kilos. And through this our self-love, and careful to l a little. I do not agree! I happen to see if the application of this tactic and of 5 and 7 kilos in a month! And very often.

And the last thought. If the increase in self-esteem, self-confidence, the influx of energy and creative forces, the feeling of control over the situation, the feeling of freedom of the diets and of the prohibitions that you can get without a change in weight, which is also a great result. Although from the point of view of all of the diet traditions it is equal to zero.

Another story of weight loss

This is the story of lose weight even of one of my patients. In spite of their normal weight (58 kilos with the growth of one meter seventy) tonya was struggling to lose weight. To feel fully happy you picked 2-3 kilos, "well, I couldn't leave. Quite accomplished, but only by a very hard diet and the daily workout at the gym. But it is worth a little bit of relax, the weight came back and threatened to climb higher. When tonya asked for help, his life was a continual "seat" in the diet with some pauses (birthdays, holidays), by which these unhappy 2-3 kilos were re-recruited. The fear of him, to me, as it seemed to her uncontrollable appetite, fear of the future, in which he saw himself, indeed, of the colon and ugly. My main task in this case, it has to break this vicious circle – "seat" in the diet, a little weight loss, a failure, weight gain.

He invited Me to Pitch to first learn how to NOT get fat. The right, what sense does it make to follow a diet and tormented, if, anyway, you can't keep the result obtained? The tone had to make sure to keep the weight absolute is not necessary prohibitions. All that is required is a little bit to reduce the content in food fats and sugars, eating frequently and is a reason to consider about. Instead of exhausting the training is much better help than hiking, tonic exercise, and the well-being of walking. And in place of rancour, and of the constant struggle with them, it is better to treat with care, with love, and be in a positive attitude.

After a month of my patient said to me: "you Know, doctor, I decided to more does not torment – 58 kilos when my growth – excellent weight. And now I know how to keep it, especially not for the effort and not in the midst of their anguish. Thanks to you!". Believe me, I was very satisfied with the result.
