Obesity is a growing problem, but what is equally problematic is the increase of fad diets.<\/p>\n
However, as many people have found when trying different diets, they often simply don\u2019t cause you to lose weight.<\/p>\n
So, what is the best way to lose weight?<\/p>\n
In short, it is good old fashioned exercise and healthy eating that will help you to shed the pounds. This is what one lady in the USA did, losing 160 pounds in the process.<\/p>\n
Teena Henson spotted an advert in a newspaper promoting a gym called Anytime Fitness. This is an activity programme that is available to anyone \u2013 men and women, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.<\/p>\n
Anytime Fitness is essentially available to anyone who wants to get fit and lose weight in their own time and at their own pace.<\/p>\n
Dieting and exercise regimes normally expect the individual to follow a strict regime. But this can cause problems as it can create a sense of pressure to succeed; especially with the endless rules that many find impossible to stick to.<\/p>\n
To Teena, the word diet<\/a> became a four letter word for failure rather than for success.<\/p>\n Not being forced to follow a set of rules allowed Teena to take more control over how she wanted to deal with her goal of losing weight.<\/p>\n She did this by eating a healthier, more balanced diet and establishing her own exercise system by going to the gym every day, for a workout lasting just 30 minutes. In other words, she fitted her own programme around her own life and not the other way round, without using someone else\u2019s plan.<\/p>\n Another aspect that allowed Teena to relax about losing weight was the simple fact that she was doing it for herself. Too many people go on a diet because that\u2019s what other people expect or want them to do.<\/p>\n In less than 3 years, Teena lost 160 pounds \u2013 half her former body weight. What\u2019s more, the loss was gradual and noticeable without pressure.<\/p>\n As Teena told reporters, it\u2019s about making small changes in your life including your own attitude to weight and weight loss<\/a>, and not about following some rule or being told what to do.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Obesity is a growing problem, but what is equally problematic is the increase of fad diets.
