Fat Loss Plans Endorsed by Nature

Fat Loss Plans Endorsed by Nature

I was reading an editorial about the best fat loss plans currently offering dieters hope of life beyond triple X sizes. I was horrified to see the top offerings centered on a surgical option.

How on earth did a scalpel come to be included on a list of fat loss plans? My incredulity grew as the list went on to include the same surgical procedures in their varying forms.

I like to call a spade a spade. It doesn't matter very much if the whole gastrointestinal system is bisected or if only a plastic band is keeping it smaller. These surgeries are basically the same thing.

Potato, PotatoeSurgical Diets are All the Same

What happens to these poor souls who jump into surgery, believing it to be not only their last hope, but only option?

Numbers don't lie. Most gastric bypass patients regain the weight and then some. Beginning in the third year post surgery, those pounds just creep back little by little. For about 85% of people, surgical diets fail in the end. Some failures come after stunning success, and patients might never regain all the weight. The majority however regain every ounce.

It's Not Nice to Fool Mother Nature

Come on people, the time to get real about fat loss plans is now. Surgery can be a jump-start, but unless it is followed by real dietary changes, it will fail.

The body is a complex system. It makes the rules and all too often, the body's owner tries to exploit loopholes instead of learning the natural rules that govern bodily health and vitality.

Worming one's way through loopholes, whether the path be surgical or fad diet fat loss plans, will never outwit the body permanently. Without proper care, and attention to real nutrition, the body will trump any and all attempts to coerce it into a more pleasing shape.

The Body Rules

Those who undergo the knife, or plastic band as the case may be, are certain to lose weight. It is also a foregone certainty that unless these same persons institute real lifestyle changes in accordance with healthy body and metabolism management the fat will just come back. The bottom line is weight loss surgery is not a diet plan, period, no way, no how.

I do not mean to make anyone who considers surgery feel guilty, ignorant or like a total loser. Just think of this as a sound voice of warning in case the surgeon, nursing staff, family doctor or best friend fails to say anything.

Putting all the responsibility for fat loss success on surgery alone will leave you on a long list of disappointed postoperative gastric patients.

Using the surgery as a small part of an actual fat loss plan that includes dietary changes and increased activity will work; surgery alone never will.
