Laxatives and Weight Loss - The Whole Truth...
by Robert Richards
If you are looking for a Laxatives and Weight Loss plan because of being a little or a lot over weight, you need to recognize your true goals. What you need to focus your attention on is losing FAT, not just losing weight. Now this may take some adjustments in your own mind, as we are all so tuned into what the scale says when we step on it. This paradigm shift must involve being more aware of what you look like in the mirror, than what the scale says.
Why must it be this way? We need to focus our attention on losing fat, because when we focus on just losing weight, we often go about it in an unhealthy manner. We do things to rid ourselves of water weight (which we really need in our bodies) or even worse, we do things that cause us to lose muscle weight (which we really, really need in our bodies!).
Laxatives and Weight Loss - Fact #2 - Water Weight Loss is Not Healthy
If you are considering a weight loss plan that promises that you will lose 10 pounds this weekend, you need to run the other way! Any program with those promises is touting a plan to rid your body of water weight, not fat. Do you know what most of our body is made up of? You guessed it... water.
We need water to keep our bodies healthy. Statistics have shown that more than 80% of Americans are in some state of dehydration. This is not healthy, because all of our organs were designed to operate most efficiently at a certain hydration level. Take the water out of your body and you will soon see decreased function in your liver, intestines, pancreas, lungs, heart and yes, even your brain! We need water and lots of it.
Besides, as you probably already know, when it is just water that we lose, it is bound to come back - and then some! You see, the body has a self preservation mode. When it experiences dehydration, which it does not like, your body reacts to this problem by storing more water in the tissues for the next 'drought'. Water weight loss will simply lead to more water weight gain in the end.
Laxatives and Weight Loss - Fact #3 - Muscle Weight Loss is Even Worse
Some Laxatives and Weight Loss plans promote their results without any nutritional changes. Though it is possible to lose weight without paying attention to your nutritional intake, the best kind of body shaping program (thats what youre really trying to do - reshape your body) will always include nutrition, fat loss and muscle gain. When we strengthen our muscles, our overall metabolism quickens and this in turn will cause our body to burn more calories, even when we are resting. To lose muscle as a weight loss option is absolutely detrimental to not only your overall health, but also your overall body shaping program goal. Muscles are a good thing! And no, I dont mean Mr. or Miss Olympia proportions, just strong, fit muscles.
As we try to reshape our bodies, fat loss should be just one of our goals. A very reasonable fat loss goal would be 1½ - 2 pounds per week. We should also strive not to lose just water and never do we want to lose muscle. Dont over do it, be sensible, have a plan and stick to it. You CAN achieve your goals!
