Modern Trends for Optimal Weight Loss (Photo by bruce mars on Unsplash)
As a country, India is faring pretty well in terms of excess weight, with the Cardiological Society of India finding urban obesity rates low as 13%. However, the same study found that, overall, one fifth of Indian women are overweight. It’s never been a better time to take a look at your eating habits and assess how to keep a weight that you’re comfortable with – especially as the Times of India is reporting a push by the government to bring in more global junk food chains, hinting at temptation to come.
The basics of weight loss and a healthy body remain the same; eat well, ingest plenty of water and vitamins, and get some exercise into your routine. With that nailed down, turn your head towards medical science and technology. There are a few crafty new ways to give you that extra push.
What medicine has to offer
Your classic diet is usually constructed by fitness professionals and ties together years of experience with new ideas. Medicine takes a more clinical, long-term view, and doctors have been able to take the trend one step further and offered prescription based weight aids. These can range, from diet pills that aid fat burning in a safe manner, to injection programs that can function in a manner of ways. These can help deliver helpful fat-burning hormones that also help promote muscle growth, or help to suppress appetite.
Diets are also influenced by clinical information. One popular diet that has emerged from medicine is the keto diet, reported by the Times of India as one of 2017s most popular diets. This popular diet latches onto your body’s disposition to burn fats in lieu of carbohydrates – ketosis – and is widely followed.
Healthy meal replacements
With the breakneck pace of city life, it’s become so easy to go home and eat a cheap and easy ready meal. However, as Hindustan Times have reported, many ready meals are very unhealthy, laden with salt, fats and undesirable preservatives and colouring. To counter this, a whole industry has sprung up around the knowledge that under-pressure workers need sustenance, but at a snippy time. Now, you can buy – for reasonable prices – food packages that will give you the healthy, weight-loss enhancing effect of nutritious, home cooked food, at a fraction of the price.
The re-emergence of weight loss programs
Once upon a time, organized weight loss groups and programs were sacred for knowledge on weight loss and how to get well inside. The likes of America’s Weight Watchers entered India to press their product, but as the US’s Washington Post reported, this was at a time when free exchange of information on the ‘web and weight help programs declined. However, despite all the information you need to eat well being freely available, the motivational power of losing weight as a group with other inspirational women and men has gained traction in the market once again. New groups and schemes are popping up in India now, giving you the opportunity to lose weight in a collaborative environment.
Losing weight isn’t hard to understand, and through medicine, dieting, weight loss programmes there’s a real prospect of success for everyone. Picking the right method for you is all about knowing your own body. Rest assured, however, that there’s something out there for everyone in 2018.
