Weight Control Through Diet
More and more people are into losing weight because of the physical and
emotional hazards too much weight brings. Through the years, dieting has
become one of the most popular means of getting
rid of fat on thighs, and losing weight to almost all overweight people
in the world. Although there are seemingly countless testimonies of its
effects, many experts agree that there are also side effects when this means
of losing weight is not administered properly.
OF DIET AND DIETING
By definition, “dieting” refers to the practice of eating or drinking in a
regulated manner in order to achieve a specific short-term objective of
gaining and or losing size or weight. “Diet,” on the other hand refers to
the habit of nutritional consumption and focuses more on a long-term goal.
Studies show that the most common objective of dieting is for a person to
lose excess body fat. But, there are also kinds of diet that are prescribed
in order to achieve a particular medical objective while some dieting are
actually designed and prescribed to increase body fat or add up to muscle
weight gain.
Diet is actually categorized into two: the weight-loss diets, which restrict
the intake of specific foods or food group in order to reduce body weight
and the weight-gain diets, which are usually self-imposed in order to
achieve a higher weight class.
Aside from that, special cases also require diets especially when it is
related to certain medical conditions. Special diets usually include,
exclude, or regulate a set of certain chemicals especially from the foods
that contain them.
These special diets are usually given to diabetics to manage the person’s
blood sugar levels; epileptics who adhere to Ketogenic Diet; celiac disease
patients are advised to take gluten-free diet; people who suffer from being
lactose-intolerant are advised to veer away from milk products, kidney
disease patients are restricted to eat foods that have high-sodium content
while people who suffer from mild hypertension are advised to follow a diet
low in fat and sodium and rich in fruits and vegetables.
Other specific types of diet to control weight include low-fat diets,
low-carbohydrate diet or Atkins Diet, natural diets that include Paleolithic
Diet and Evolution Diet, vegetarian diet, and very low calorie diet. Experts
say that different diets are designed to on weight loss and weight gain
depending on the person’s need.
They also agree that if the person would want to use dieting in order to
control weight, they must be very careful because different types of food
affect the body’s total well being.
They should also seek professional help in losing or controlling their
weight because fieting—especially extreme food-intake reduction and rapid
weight loss—may lead to prolonged hunger, depression, reduced sex drive,
fatigue, irritability, fainting, sinus problems, muscle loss, rashes,
bloodshot eyes, gallbladder diseases, and loose folds of skin among others.
