We can help you determine which non-surgical weight loss methods works best for your needs. Talk to your doctor if you have tried weight loss methods, such as medication. without desired results. You may be able to get your weight under control and have a healthier lifestyle with non-surgical weight loss treatments.
It is crucial to implement natural weight-loss practices at home to supplement treatments as weight almost always correlates with our natural behaviors, specifically what we eat and drink, sleep, and move. Read on to learn how diet, sleep, and exercise play a part in non-surgical weight loss.
Causes of weight gain
Many factors can contribute to weight gain and obesity. Some of these, such as genetics, are out of the person’s control. However, other situations are due to a person’s poor habits. One of them is a lack of exercise. Living a sedentary lifestyle puts a person at risk of being heavy and suffering various other health issues.
Having a poor diet is another major cause of weight gain. In particular, a person who does not eat a well-balanced diet is prone to being obese. Eating foods high in fat and sugar can also make it difficult for a person to keep their weight under control. In addition, consuming excessive amounts of alcohol and undergoing stress are other factors to consider while on non-surgical weight loss
treatments.
Top three factors
Although behavior and lifestyle factors are huge contributors, genetics plays a large role in a person’s weight and whether they are able to easily lose or gain weight. It is important to know and understand our family medical history and learn about the risk factors that may be influencing our weight to attain realistic results.
Nevertheless, it is crucial for all individuals to practice these three criteria (diet, sleep, and exercise) in their everyday life, regardless of weight.
Diet
It goes without saying that diet is the most important factor in weight loss and undue weight gain. Diet and nutrition affect all aspects of our health and contribute to many of the conditions we see today related to health. Poor diet contributes to improper sleeping habits and inhibits exercise and physical activity, even if a person is continuously exercising.
A well-balanced diet consists of fruits and vegetables, protein, carbohydrates, grains, oils, and dairy products. Dairy substitutes are available and necessary for those unable to properly digest normal dairy products. It is crucial to intake necessary, if not all, vitamins and minerals like calcium, magnesium, and vitamins A, C, D, and E. Taking multivitamins, along with a proper diet, can help individuals achieve overall health and lose weight much more easily.
Sleep
Inadequate sleep sets the brain up to make bad decisions, such as late-night snacking and carb overloading. It dulls activity in the brain’s frontal lobe, which is the center point of decision-making and impulse control. A study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that when people were starved of sleep, late-night snacking increased, and they were more likely to choose high-carb snacks. Another study at the University of Chicago showed that sleep-deprived participants chose snacks with twice as much fat as those who slept at least 8 hours.
Sleep also contributes in large part to our metabolism. Sleep revitalizes the brain, giving it the nutrition it needs to function. Too little sleep triggers a cortisol spike, which is the stress hormone that signals the body to conserve energy to fuel waking hours. This means we are more apt to hang on to fat when we sleep less.
Exercise
Exercise and regular physical activity (as simple as daily walks) contribute to both improved health and sleep. Consistent exercise offers long-term benefits, including better weight management, stronger bones, and a reduced risk of more than 35 diseases, according to the Sleep Foundation. High-intensity exercise decreases appetite for at least 30 to 60 minutes after finishing a workout. Physical activity can also help you feel more satisfied and full after a meal.
Unfortunately, sedentary activities appear to have the opposite effect. Research has shown that people who spend more time watching television consume more calories and are more likely to be overweight. Implementing a regular, realistic exercise routine can greatly influence weight loss and help individuals achieve their goals more efficiently and steadily.
Non-surgical weight-loss treatment
Although every treatment plan differs, typical treatment plans include lifestyle changes, such as cutting calories, eating foods with healthier sugars (fruits and vegetables), eating more proteins, restricting certain foods, and replacing snacks and meals. They will always involve exercise and physical activity in any way the patient likes. Behavior changes help many patients lose weight, including modifying behavior through counseling or support groups. Some treatment plans include medications or non-invasive treatments. Patients who need more assistance may be recommended for surgical procedures.
