Weight loss/management...my spiel (part 6)

Weight loss/management should not be just one time event. It should be a part of healthy lifestyle to promote optimal wellness. Those who use supplements and extreme dieting may get faster results; however, this result will not last long. Moreover, the methods they use may be detrimental to their overall health and wellness.  As a personal trainer, I want to advocate losing or maintaining weight by changing lifestyle. This change may not give faster results that people look for; however, this is THE way to lose weight and KEEP IT OFF. This is why commitment is one of the main keys to successful weight loss/management. (My definition of successful weight loss/management is keeping the weight off and maintaining a healthy body weight or body fat percentage). People who are committed to making better choices, recognizing their weaknesses and willing to to work around them, and looking for their optimal health and wellness do the best with this weight loss/management idea.
