Weight loss and diets is a very wide phrase. It encompasses so much. It's easiest to tackle it by dividing it into sub-categories. One of these sub-categories is surgical options. Another is the diet (strictly dietary changes). Then there are those that fall under the sub-category of medical needs. And there is still another that focuses on activity.
When it comes to weight loss and diets...surgical procedures have definitely had their time in the sun. Some of the most popular/frequently accessed surgical options include: stomach stapling, liposuction, etc. They often provide effective weight loss results. But they also come with the risk for complication that accompanies invasive procedures.
The "straight up diet" is focused entirely on what a dieter is eating. This can mean counting calories, limiting portion sizes, limiting types of food (fat, carbs, etc.) The only problem with this philosophy is that when the diet is completed and the food limitations cease the weight that is lost often returns in force.
Some diets are medically based. They are addressing a medical issue. In this instance a physician may be involved.
Some people approach diets that are based on their activity level. They are required to increase the amount of activity they engage in during any given day. They may need to spend more time at the gym. They may need to engage in more intense activities while they are at the gym. For many this is problematic because they are busy. It takes a lot of time to engage in a weight loss program that is strictly based on increasing the activity level.
The most desirable diets will combine more than one factor. They will also address the cause of the weight problem. And they will also result in actual weight loss.
One such weight loss method is HCG dieting. It provides the potential for effective and fast weight loss. It gives dieters the results they are looking for. Weight loss and diets are meant to go together. When someone is dieting and weight loss is not the result the alternate result is sheer frustration. And frustration is NOT a good feeling for a dieter to have.
Since stress, depression and frustration all lead to weight gain this is in direct opposition to the goals the dieter is working toward so frustration should be avoided at all costs.
