The summer is here and you want to lose weight. What better way than to use dietary supplements in order to achieve fast weight loss. If that is what you think then you are very mistaken. The use of dietary supplements in order to lose weight is not advisable at all. This is because you could experience very severe side effects due to hormonal imbalance as a result of taking certain dietary supplements.
Some of the side effects include; in women- enlargement of the clitoris, disruption of the menstrual cycle, facial hair, breaking of the voice, acne. In men- decrease in libido, low sperm count, shrinking of the testicles. Other general side effects include; insomnia, depression, increased aggression, liver conditions, heart ailments, high blood pressure, kidney problems. You should therefore not even consider the use of dietary supplements in order to lose weight.
If you truly want to achieve weight loss for the summer you need to take proper action just when the year is beginning. Do not wait until the summer is approaching so that you start rushing in order to attain fast weight loss. At the risk of sounding pessimistic let me just inform you that there is nothing like fast weight loss. If you follow those fad dietary programs which try to convince you that you are going to lose weight fast by three months then you are sadly mistaken. Those diets are going to make you lose weight fast but the wait lose will be due to depletion of the body muscles.
This kind of weight loss is not good because it is going to affect your body physique. Your body physique does not look good if you are losing weight as a result of the depletion in body muscles. Your body structure will look very soft and weak. The other reason why you can not afford to lose your body muscles is because your overall strength and power will be affected. As a result of the reduction in body strength you will find it very difficult to perform day to day tasks.
The second reason why you can't afford to lose your muscles is because your body metabolism is going to slow down. When your body metabolism slows down you will not be able to burn a lot of calories and this will make you gain weight.
In order to lose weight and maintain sound health you should give yourself about six months. During these six months you need to eat properly, perform aerobic exercises, and weight train. Weight training is a very important exercise because it will enable you to increase your lean body muscles. When you increase your lean body muscles your body metabolism will also increase.
This will make you burn a lot of calories. You should also perform aerobic exercises if you want to lose weight. Each session of the aerobic exercises should be short but very intense so that you can achieve fast weight loss and at the same time avoid catabolism. You need to eat proper meals containing little carbs, a lot of proteins and vegetables so that your body does not go into starvation mode.
