Ellen Says: Weight loss as what we all should know, in the context of medicine, health or physical fitness, is a reduction of the total body mass, due to a mean loss of fluid, body fat or adipose tissue and/or lean mass, namely bone mineral deposits, muscle, tendon and other connective tissue. It can occur unintentionally due to an underlying disease or can arise from a conscious effort to improve an actual or perceived overweight or obese state.
The least intrusive weight loss methods, and those most often recommended, are adjustments to eating patterns like following a regimen and to do that means to adapt and endulge bar techniques and methods but of course with an increased physical activity, generally in the form of exercise. Physicians will usually recommend that their overweight patients combine a reduction of processed[4] and caloric content of the diet with an increase in physical activity.
An increase in fiber intake is also recommended for regulating bowel movements, and speeding up the metabolism.
Other methods of losing weight include use of drugs and supplements that decrease appetite, block fat absorption, or reduce stomach volume.
A crash diet refers to willful nutritional restriction (except water) for more than 12 hours. The desired result is to have the body burn fat for energy with the goal of losing a significant amount of weight in a short time. There is a possibility of excessive muscle loss, depending on the approach used.
Crash dieting is not the same as intermittent fasting, in which the individual periodically abstains from food (e.g., every other day).
