Natural Weight Loss Begins Between Your Ears (Part 2) :
As with diet, there is considerable debate as to what exercise approach
works best for weight loss. Some say you have to do high intensity
"interval training". Some weight-loss gurus insist that the only
effective form of exercise for weight loss is long periods of relatively
low intensity aerobic exercise. Still others say any increase in any
kind of physical activity works just fine. Again, all of these
approaches work at least for some people.
Various recent research studies into the vast array of weight loss approaches has come to a rather interesting conclusion: All weight loss approaches that are based on physiologically-sound principles seem to have about the same statistical success rate. Some recent studies have shown that the biggest determining factor in the success or failure of any weight loss program is... whether or not the person sticks to the program long-term.
It has been my experience in clinical practice that very few people stick to ANY weight loss plan (at least natural weight loss plans - not some type of weight loss drug) for more than about two weeks straight. Yes, some may stay on a weight loss plan for several months, but most are not consistent over that period of time. The majority of those trying to lose weight will start off well for the first few days, but then something will come up and they get off track for a few (or more) days, and then continue going through and on again, off again cycle. The times when they are off the program largely negate whatever progress they make while they are on the program.
