Problem definition
Weight loss management is a problem for most obese persons. Historically, the treatment of obesity is developed from the belief that it results from maladaptive eating as well as habits of exercise. This can be rectified through applying learning principles. Nowadays, researchers have realized that body weights have an impact of factors apart from the behaviors. These may incorporate metabolic, genetic as well as hormonal influences which possibly influence some individuals to obesity and might excellently set the range of possible weights increments which a person can reduce. Weight reduction is an essential practice that should be undertaken by all for a healthy living. However, all the processes of weight loss management gyrate around behavior therapy.
Realistic goal
The goal of the program is to burn more calories as compared to what is taken. Weight loss certainly is to shed off some weights then keep off from gaining more weight. That is to say, the maintenance of lost weight. Upon thinking about the weight loss management concept, everyone thinks it is Ok. Thus, whenever you lose weight by doing X, Y, and Z, then when you maintain doing such things, possibly you will keep the weight. As indicated by Sherwood et al. (1570), even though there are some people utilize for both, employing all of the similar approaches in losing weight, which might not be helpful. If you attempt to maintain such weight, such strategies become unhelpful. People who have lost weight often use various forms of exercise as those who need to keep their weight only do one or two things. Fort that matter, the realistic goal of weight management is to lose such significant weight and maintain the new one acquired. This is likely to make the person healthier at all times.
Three strategies to reach the goal
The strategies which are likely to assist reach the goals are:
Cutting calories intake-this can be attained by eating smaller portions of food during mealtimes. It can be managed by skipping snacks as well as having high-calorie drinks. It can be done as well by swapping high calories of unhealthy foodstuffs for foods which are having lower calorie but nutritious.
Increase the amount of time doing the exercise- increasing the amount of time doing the weekly routine assist in increasing the person’s calorie deficit, thus leading to faster weight loss. When a person is already on the exercise, then he/she may be capable of reducing calories and maintaining the exercise program to keep losing weight. However, if the exercise is not a component of your plan, then one should start slowly. Afterward, you can increase the time of doing such tasks. What is imperative is first to cut the calorie to lose weight then gradually increase the times of conducting an exercise as you progress with the program.
Increases various forms of exercises- The uses of yoga are suitable for the body and should form part and parcel of a healthy lifestyle. However, over-exercising might make one hungry. Whenever one has decided to cut calories for weight management, when there is additional hunger upon doing the exercise, then such tendency might overwhelm the person leading to quitting the program of weight loss management.
Evaluation of the feasibility of each strategy
Reducing calorie-Obesity comes as a result of an imbalance of sustained energy. Persons who are obese or slightly overweight are known to be consuming more calories everyday basis than they shed them off during their daily activities and exercises. Imbalance of Caloric imbalance is felt in obese persons due to a multifaceted set of issues, incorporating access to together with consumption of new processed and fast foods in more enormous portions. These persons are using higher quantities of saturated sugar and fats and within their diets. All these lead to chronic physical inactivity in their bodies. Thus, it is imperative for the reduce calorie during this program
Various forms of exercises- the use of practices make the body into use and assists in lowering calorie in a person. Employing types of yoga in the weight loss program puts the body to be adaptive, thus making it possible for one to shed some weight and maintain the required pressure.
Increasing time for the exercise- as it is known, when something is done continuously for sometimes, the body gets used to it. Thus, it achieves the primary intent of weight loss reduction.
All these three strategies are feasible as they both assist in weight loss management.
