This is an interesting article,
and it makes some valid points, but what I don’t think it fully
mentions is that losing weight is actually pretty easy, it’s the
keeping it off thats hard.
Losing weight is not easy. No one should lull you into
believing there is a quick way to lose weight. One important component
of weight loss is that is takes time. There is no fast track to getting in better shape, but it is also never too late to start.
Definitely agree with the point that it is never too late start. I
will add however that unless of until you deal with the real issues
behind your weight gain, you will never be successful. The weight will
always come back.
Weight gain is easy. Your body does not care if you put
on some pounds. It has no real defense. Calorie laden foods and
inactivity make the body hungrier. It sets off a chain reaction that
leads to more hunger. When fat cells accumulate in the body, an
unhealthy decline of the hormone leptin leads us to seek more food.
I think this is the important part people miss, the biochemical
aspect of weight gain. Foods, particularly those with high fructose
corn syrup, work against the body’s ability to let you know when you’re
full. So, you keep eating, keep gaining weight, which makes you more
inactive, more hungry and the cycle continues.
Losing weight and maintaining the weight lost is a lifetime project
made even more difficult if you’re a person who has been overweight all
of your life. You have to stay vigilante and be willing to change your
life. That’s the key.
