Today’s society is accustomed to receiving everything instantly; for example, if we order a package from Amazon, it arrives the same day, and if we need the answer to something every day, we only need to search Google. But does a quick fix always work best when it comes to losing weight, or can a slow and steady approach prevail?
If you want to lose weight every day and you’re wondering if “gradual” is the best approach, you’re no longer by yourself. Many people concur that stability and moderation in eating are better long-term dieting strategies. However, fast, healthy weight loss may be much more motivating and effective, according to studies.
WEIGHT LOSS STUDIES
Those who participated in the rapid weight loss program dropped nearly three times as much weight after 18 months compared to those who participated in the gradual weight loss program, losing two and a half times more weight in just six months! More weight was lost and kept off for a longer period of time.
Rapid weight loss is currently acknowledged as safe, reliable, and sustainable. The safety of rapid weight loss has recently been the subject of some media debate, and others have questioned whether it is practical for everyday preservation. There is a common misconception that if you lose weight quickly, you will gain it back even more rapidly, but this is untrue. For those who are qualified, I recommend a rapid weight-loss program because it is necessary. Large-scale studies demonstrate that when correctly implemented, they are safe and significantly more successful than the usual “slow and consistent”.
CONSISTENCY IS THE KEY TO THE PATH OF WEIGHT LOSS
Are you a regular on-and-off person who enjoys following rigorous guidelines, demonstrates genuine discipline, and enjoys quick changes? In that situation, it may be advantageous for you to begin with a somewhat more restrictive plan. If you’re someone who enjoys flexibility, who gradually develops better habits every day, and who suddenly faces an unusual threat, then going slowly and consistently might be preferable.
But be aware that even when you reach your desired weight, your daily efforts will continue. In many ways, this is the most crucial time for accountability, and you’ll need the support of those around you to hang on.
