Weight loss is a tricky topic. Lots of people are unhappy with their present weight, but most aren't sure how to change it ? and many would be better off staying where they are. You may want to look like the models or actors in magazines and on TV, but those goals might not be healthy or realistic for you. Besides, no magical diet or pill will make you look like someone else.

Be careful what you ask for. Loren Root was obese, weighing in at 330 pounds, and wanted to lose weight. But after undergoing expensive gastric bypass surgery, Loren found herself unable to eat enough to maintain any weight at all, and she quickly slipped to a dangerous 87 pounds in total body weight. It's yet another horror story about the dangers of gastric bypass surgery -- dangers that surgeons who perform such procedures hardly ever reveal to their patients.

The solution to all of this, the strategy I want to focus on here, is to engage in strength training while you are losing body fat. If you do this, then you will be able to maintain the muscle mass that you already have underneath your body fat while you are in the process of losing the fat. This will leave you with a greater proportion of lean body mass to body fat, meaning that you will be slimmer, yet you'll have the muscles that you had when you were overweight.

Did you know that strength training is crucial for successfully losing weight and keeping it off? I'm talking about weight-bearing exercise. It doesn't have to be a huge, hulking workout where you're trying to look like Arnold Schwarzenegger in his prime, it just has to be some basic strength training.

Are you trying to lose weight? If so, let me ask you a question: What would make your weight loss goals easier to achieve? Aside from having those pounds magically melt off, appetite control would probably help you the most, right? Unfortunately for most people, appetite control is easier said than done.

Imagine for a moment, sitting in your Doctor's office,
when she enters and, with a solemn tone, informs you that you have contracted a rare disease called...
"Avoidusexerciseitis".
You Doctor explains that, while potentially deadly, your condition can be treated. To stay alive, you must get thirty minutes of exercise each and every day. Missing even one day would mean instant death.

What's All the Hype About Body Type?
In the last twenty years there has been a lot of talk about how body type affects overall fitness and the ability to lose (or gain) weight. There are various classifications and body shapes that have been identified, as well as different approaches to losing weight for each type. Your overall body shape and type is determined by your genetic makeup. Body typing can explain why some people seem to be able to eat whatever they want without gaining a pound, while others have to watch every bite carefully. The bad news is that you're stuck with the body you're born with, the good news is that knowing your type is the first step to learning how to work with it.
