The probabilities are that you must have undergone the dis-satisfactions and disappointments of being on a diet at one time or the other in your life, given the fact that obesity is the physical condition of having or carrying around excessive fat in our body, these points inevitably to the fact that you have weight troubles.

Every year millions of the American people go on one weight loss diet or the other, only for about 93% (ninety three percent) of same (those who have gone on such diet plans) eventually gain back this weight inside five (5) years. Worse still, considering the peril of shuttling between weight loss diet plans, one-third of these gain back, in weight, much more than they had initially lost, besides the usual methods in respect of achieving weight loss, giving attention to other forms of weight loss like the Fad method or the drugs (supplements) might as well leave you with as much weight as you had lost and great possibilities of related illnesses.

Over weight is known to be an antecedent to incapacitating health situations which includes, the disease of the gall bladder, 57% (fifty seven percent) cause of diabetes cases, cancer, and according to the Harvard university research team, all sorts of heart diseases where we have the obesity contributing to at least 19% of this disease. We still have the hypertension, osteoarthritis, just to name but a few.

Statistics has it that about 70% (seventy percent) of the American male populations are obese, even when they crave to be as trim or thin and fit as should be.

We also have records that say that:

1. Overweight contributes to as much as 400,000 (four hundred thousand) deaths each year.

2. The public health costs in respect of this condition (obesity) is on the very high side standing at an estimated 35 billion united states dollars ($35,000,000,000.00), with diabetes cutting its share with an estimated nine billion united states dollars ($9,000,000,000.00).

Laying Down Reasonable Objectives

Now, over the years it has been inevitable for these overweight persons to have fallen for one weight loss diet program or the other with guarantees of achieving weight loss as painlessly & quickly as possible, yet they eventually destabilize and somewhat damage your physical well being, causing discomfort of all sorts & flatulence. The worst and probably the most disappointing part of all this is experienced when you start to regain all the weight you seemingly shed.

Here are the bad sides of quick weight loss diet programs:

1. They exaggerate a particular type of food.

2. They breach or disregard the basic rules of good nutrition, which posits that there has to be the consumption of balanced diet for an average human being to stay healthy.

3. Permanent weight loss is almost always never achieved.

A lot of these weight loss systems take the center stage for a period, only to lose relevance, due largely to their resultant lack of productivity and condition of being unsafe for human consumption. Examples of these fad diet plans are the South Beach Diet, Atkins diet, the Grapefruit diet, Cabbage Soup diet, the Rotation diet, Beverly Hills diet, Breatharian, Ornish Plan even as the list is practically endless. These diet plans promote a particular technique (such as doing away with certain food, or eating only certain food combination s) in conjunction with the basic idea that the body makes up the difference in energy by breaking down and using some part of itself ability of converting matter into energy.

After all said and done these programs start out by breaking down stored body fats.
