MRC Can Personalize Weight Loss to Fit Your Needs

Enjoying life is essential for healthy weight management. Although dieters can have a wildly different response to low-fat versus low-carb diets, randomized studies have shown that participants in both groups lost about the same amount of weight on average. A weight loss consultant can personalize a plan that fits your needs. Treating your body in ways that make you feel energized and empowered makes it much easier to avoid the unwanted side effects of crash dieting, such as:

• Feeling Hungry All Day - When you lose weight too quickly, your stomach releases greater amounts of a ghrelin hormone. Ghrelin is the hunger hormone that tells your body it is time to eat.
• More Sensitive to Cold - When you are extremely sensitive to cold, it is called cold intolerance. Rapid weight loss can leave you feeling uncomfortable even though you’ve added extra layers of clothing. Vitamin B-12 and iron deficiencies are common culprits.
• Plan Does Not Feel Sustainable - Healthy weight loss isn't about shedding pounds at the fastest rate possible. People who lose weight steadily, at about two pounds per week, are more successful at keeping the weight off.
• Trouble Sleeping - A recent study highlighted the benefits of good sleep hygiene. Participants who reported not sleeping the same number of hours each night had less weight loss after a year than those with a regular sleep pattern.
• No Permanent Weight Loss - If you haven't trained your body to adapt to permanent lifestyle changes, you are much more likely to revert to your old habits and gain back all of that quickly lost weight.
• Change in Sexual Relationship - A bad diet can do more than affect a man’s energy level. It can also lead to clogged arteries, reduced blood flow, and is a known risk factor for erectile dysfunction.

If you only goal is to lose weight fast, it is a good idea to seek the advice of a weight loss specialist to help you develop a strategic eating plan that is personalized for your needs and long-term goals.
