Obesity is responsible for 9,000 premature deaths each year in England, and reduces life expectancy by, on average, 9 years. Obese people are more likely to suffer from social and psychological problems, such as depression, prejudice, discrimination, stigmatization and low self-esteem. No matter how much excess weight or fat you have, if you want to lose weight permanently, your diet program should be directed toward a gradual, steady weight loss. According to official government dietary guidelines, unless your doctor feels your particular health condition would benefit from more rapid weight loss, you should expect to lose about 2 lbs of fat a week, although initial loss (mainly water) may be greater. Losing more weight is no guarantee that weight loss is likely to be permanent. To greatly reduce the risk of heart disease you need to aim for 30 minutes of moderate activity at least five times a week.
When watching your weight, you also have to plan the amounts of food you eat. It’s not just the quality - the quantity matters too. Although everyone is different, as a rule, most people will lose weight if they eat or drink between1,500 and 1,800 calories a day. Women tend to need less than men, so if you’re female, choose 1,500 calories. If you’re male, choose 1,800 calories.
Hypnotherapy can be one of the most effective methods of helping to lose weight. If you have more than 2 stone to lose, a 'Virtual Mind (Gastric) Band' might be right for you. Find out more about a 'Virtual Mind (Gastric) Band' at www.halotherapies.com
