Weight Loss: Natural
Rapid Weight Loss
by Ainuddin Mohamad
With over half of the
population of America suffering from obesity, it is not hard
to figure out why the market for weight loss products and
services continue to boom. Beyond vanity, obesity is a grave
threat. Being overweight puts one at the height of health
risks that...
The search for the Holy Grail is
one of the most energetic treasure hunts ever witnessed by the
human civilization. It is also the most highly romanticized
hunts ever done because countless people from different
backgrounds, intentions, and even eras have fallen under its
lure and have dedicated their whole lives to finding this one
cup. The cup is of course of mundane origin but it is
supposedly enchanted and posses an unimaginable amount of
benefits to the possessor.
In this day and age though, the Holy Grail is considered to be
just a myth, and at most, it is just a very enchanting story.
However, the evolving world, along with its people, seem to
have resurrected a new search for the holy grail... The holy
grail of weight loss, that is.
With over half of the population of America suffering from
obesity, it is not hard to figure out why the market for
weight loss products and services continue to boom. Beyond
vanity, obesity is a grave threat. Being overweight puts one
at the height of health risks that include, and are not
limited to certain cancers and cardio vascular diseases.
Meanwhile, businesses continue to capitalize on the rising
levels of obesity among individuals by coming up with what
they claim is the definitive product or service that will
eliminate obesity quickly and effortlessly, one after the
other. There seems to be a new "revolutionary" weight loss
product or service that props up every so often, only to be
lost in a deluge of other failed claims, broken dreams, and
the latest "miraculous" product.
Despite repeated failure to achieve desired results, consumers
continue to fall for hard sell marketing employed by these
companies to promote and sell their products. Does this mean
though that the market is not learning? Will consumers
continue to harbor misconceptions about weight loss, trying
one product after another that offers a super convenient way
to shed off pounds? Perhaps there is nothing more to lose
after repeated failure and anyway, what's the harm in
trying...right?
Actually, there is a lot more to lose than excess pounds if
one actually finds a product that successfully promotes
natural rapid weight loss. The whole concept of natural rapid
weight loss is a misnomer. There is nothing natural about
rapid weight loss. One may experience rapid weight loss in
relation to a disease, but then again, there is nothing
natural about that.
Furthermore, natural rapid weight loss, as promoted by some
products or services, is actually a naturally rapid way to
lose one's health. Rapid swings in one's weight is actually
very harmful to one's heart and will surely make one a ripe
candidate for cardiovascular disease.
Rapid weight loss, even by products that claim to be natural
and safe, is totally unhealthy and at the very least,
unsustainable. Natural rapid weight loss is achieved by
suppressing appetite resulting in lower calorie intake. This
in turn results in loss of mass or weight that is not
necessarily fat tissue. The sad truth is that in natural rapid
weight lost, muscle tissues are lost more rapidly than fat
tissue. It is in the loss of muscle that causes this process
to be unsustainable because metabolic rate is directly
proportional to our body's muscle vs. fat content.
In the end, if one does achieve one's desired weight through
natural rapid weigh loss, it will be even easier to gain
excess weight back. With natural rapid weight loss, you'll be
lucky if you just go back to the weight you started with
before starting to shed off the pounds. In most cases, one can
end up in much worse shape than when one started.
