Choose a Personalized Weight Loss Plan and Celebrate Success

Regardless of your motivation for losing weight, if you are not adopting healthier habits, how can you expect your weight loss results to be sustainable. Once you go back to your original lifestyle, you will regain the weight and maybe more. It is impossible to stick to severe calorie restrictions following rapid weight loss and nothing about the experience will be enjoyable. Choose a personalized weight loss program and enjoy celebrating your success with friends and family. You can also avoid annoying side effects, such as:

• Thinning or Loss of Hair - Rapid weight loss is a stress to your system. Telogen effluvium is the cause of hair loss in people who are losing weight at too fast of a pace and are not consuming enough nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, and protein.
• Menstrual Changes - The more weight you lose and the faster you lose it, the more likely your menstrual cycle will be affected. This happens naturally as your body’s response to changes in hormones released.
• Change in Sexual Relationship - Your partner may know they need to exercise and eat less but may not want to do those things. Maintaining a healthy sexual relationship may come down to avoiding these issues.
• Depression and Withdrawal - Rapid weight loss can affect your mood and make you feel worse about your body due to limiting the production of happy hormones that are released by the brain.
• Not Enough Protein Intake - When you fail to consume enough protein during rapid weight loss, you can suffer from edema where your body retains fluids causing swelling in your extremities, especially your feet and ankles.
• Change in Liver Function - The liver performs many functions, such as converting what you eat and drink into energy and filtering harmful substances from your blood. Rapid weight loss can increase your risk of fatty liver disease.

Following a fad diet can be frustrating. By nature, quick-fix crash diets create the situation where food looks more tempting, and you are hungrier than you should be due to consuming fewer calories. In other words, everything is naturally working against you. Selecting the wrong weight loss plan can lead to weight cycling, which has been linked to heart disease, insulin resistance, high blood pressure, chronic inflammation, and even long-term weight gain.
