Valentine’s Day is hailed as the most romantic day of the year. It is a day when lovers express their heartfelt feelings for their partners by giving tokens of love and by appearing their very best. For people who are overweight, a great Valentine’s Day gift idea would be to present a slimmer and leaner you to your lover. This would be a surprisingly delightful gift to your Valentine, especially if he or she has been encouraging you to lose weight for a while. If you are overweight, weight loss will not only make you look more physically attractive to your partner but it will also protect you from various obesity related conditions.

Many weight loss methods are available on the market but experts recommend that you avoid quick-fix solutions. Such methods will cause you discomfort and you will soon pick up the lost weight. To achieve weight loss that is long term experts recommend wholesale changes in lifestyle. You would need to incorporate healthier dieting habits and include daily physical exercise. For people with a BMI of above 30 and who are unable to lose weight through dieting or exercise, doctors recommend the use of Xenical slimming pills.

Xenical orlistat works as a fat absorption inhibitor slimming pill. The medicine works in your digestive system to prevent some of the fat in your diet from being digested and absorbed. The undigested fat cannot be absorbed by the body and is eliminated out of your system through normal bowel movement. By working in this way, the Xenical fat blocker slimming pill prevents up to 30% of the fat in your diet from being absorbed. Your calorie intake gets reduced and you lose weight. However, to achieve effective weight loss results with Xenical you would need to follow a physician supervised, reduced calorie diet and do regular physical exercise.

Xenical fat blocker pills are approved by the FDA as a prescription only weight loss pill. Though the slimming pill is proven to be safe and effective, you would need to consult a doctor before taking this medicine. While discussing Xenical treatment, please inform your doctor about your medical conditions and any other medicines that you may be taking. This will help your doctor judge the suitability of the slimming pill in your case. These days, you can also buy Xenical slimming pills online. A large number of online clinics offer you the convenience of consulting with a specialist doctor online and you can have the medicine delivered to your doorstep in safe and discreet packaging. There is no charge for the consultation and service is prompt.

Stay motivated to achieve a healthy weight loss and you’ll succeed, not only in reducing weight but also in winning the heart of your Valentine.

Diets for maintaining weight loss

For obese people, maintaining weight loss is often more difficult than the initial weight reduction effort. Typically, only half of all people who successfully lose at least 5 kg will maintain that weight loss for one year, and only about one in 10 will maintain it for five years.

This study, conducted at the Copenhagen Royal Veterinary and Agricultural University, compared two weight maintenance diets — an ad libitum (ad lib), low fat, high carbohydrate diet or a fixed energy intake diet — in people who had lost a substantial amount of weight in either a conventional or a rapid weight loss diet program. A total of 43 subjects (41 women) participated in the weight maintenance programs, which involved reinforcement sessions two to three times monthly and lasted for one year. The subjects were contacted for follow-up a year later.

At the end of the one-year weight maintenance program, the ad lib, low fat group had maintained 13.2 kg of their initial weight loss of 13.5 kg, and the fixed energy intake group had maintained 9.7 kg of their initial 13.8 kg weight loss. At follow-up, regained weight was greater in the fixed energy intake group than in the ad lib, low fat group. At this time, 65% of the ad lib group and 40% of the fixed energy group had maintained a weight loss of more than 5 kg.These data indicate that an ad lib, low fat, high carbohydrate diet is superior to a fixed energy intake diet in maintaining a substantial weight loss. The mechanism by which the ad lib, low fat diet prevents relapse may be both by reducing energy intake and by increasing energy expenditure, although the effect on appetite seems to be more important.

Who should lose weight? Health experts generally agree that adults can benefit from weight loss if they are moderately to severely overweight (see weight-for-height chart on page 3). Health experts also agree that adults who are overweight and have weight-related medical problems or a family history of such problems can benefit from weight loss. Some weight-related health problems include diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels, or high blood sugar levels. Even a small weight loss of 10 to 20 pounds can improve your health, for example by lowering your blood pressure and cholesterol levels. You do not need to lose weight if your weight is within the healthy range on the weight-for-height chart on page 3, you have gained less than 10 pounds since you reached your adult height, and you are otherwise healthy.

HOW WE LOSE WEIGHT

Order Xenical

Your body weight is controlled by the number of calories you eat and the number of calories you use each day. So, to lose weight you need to take in fewer calories than you use. You can do this by becoming more physically active or by eating less. Following a weight-loss program that helps you to become more physically active and decrease the amount of calories that you eat is most likely to lead to successful weight loss. The weight-loss program should also help you keep the weight off by making changes in your physical activity and eating habits that you will be able to follow for the rest of your life.

To lose weight and keep it off, you should be aware of the different types of programs available and the important parts of a good program. Knowing this information should help you select or design a weight-loss program that will work for you. The three types of weight-loss programs include: do-it-yourself programs, non-clinical programs, and clinical programs.* DO-IT-YOURSELF PROGRAMS

Any effort to lose weight by yourself or with a group of like-minded others through support groups, worksite or community-based programs fits in the “do-it yourself” category. Individuals using a do-it-yourself program rely on their own judgment, group support, and products such as diet books for advice (Note: Not all diet books are reliable sources of weight-loss information).

* NON-CLINICAL PROGRAMS

These programs may or may not be commercially operated, such as through a privately-owned, weight-loss chain. They often use books and pamphlets that are prepared by health-care providers. These programs use counselors (who usually are not health-care providers and may or may not have training) to provide services to you. Some programs require participants to use the program’s food or supplements.

* CLINICAL PROGRAMS

This type of program may or may not be commercially owned. Services are provided in a health-care setting, such as a hospital, by licensed health professionals, such as physicians, nurses, dietitians, and/or psychologists. In some clinical programs, a health professional works alone; in others, a group of health professionals works together to provide services to patients. Clinical programs may offer you services such as nutrition education, medical care, behavior change therapy, and physical activity.

Clinical programs may also use other weight-loss methods, such as very low-calorie diets, prescription weight-loss drugs, and surgery, to treat severely overweight patients. These treatments are described below:

* Very low-calorie diets (VLCDs) are commercially prepared formulas that provide no more than 800 calories per order Xenical day and replace all usual food intake. VLCDs help individuals lose weight more quickly than is usually possible with low-calorie diets (see page 8). Because VLCDs can cause side effects, obesity experts recommend that only people who are severely overweight (see weight-for-height chart on page 3) use these diets, and only with proper medical care. A fact sheet on VLCDs is available from the Weight-control Information Network (WIN).

* Prescribed weight-loss drugs should be used only if you are likely to have health problems caused by your weight. You should not use drugs to improve your appearance. Prescribed weight-loss drugs, when combined with a healthy diet and regular physical activity, may help some obese adults lose weight. However, before these medications can be widely recommended, more research is needed to determine their long-term safety and effectiveness. Whatever the results, prescription weight-loss drugs should be used only as part of an overall program that includes long-term changes in your eating and physical activity habits. A fact sheet on prescription medications for the treatment of obesity is available from WIN.

* You may consider gastric surgery to promote weight loss if you are more than 80 pounds overweight. The surgery, sometimes called bariatric surgery, causes weight loss in one of two ways: 1) by limiting the amount of food your stomach can hold by closing off or removing parts of the stomach or 2) by causing food to be poorly digested by bypassing the stomach or part of the intestines. After surgery, patients usually lose weight quickly. While some weight is often regained, many patients are successful in keeping off most of their weight. In some cases, the surgery can lead to problems that require follow-up operations. Surgery may also reduce the amount of vitamins and minerals in your body and cause gallstones. For additional information, a fact sheet on gastric surgery is available from WIN. If you are considering a weight-loss program and you have medical problems, or if you are severely overweight, programs run by trained health professionals may be best for you. These professionals are more likely to monitor you for possible side effects of weight loss and to talk to your doctor when necessary.
