Scientific weight loss diet program
Mistakes far to be scientific stand out at popular diets.
The difference between popular and scientific diets is that the popular diets promise much more things. The treatments claiming the weight loss more than 1 kg a week are unscientific.
Improper diets lead to gallbladder stones, menstrual irregularity, constipation, hair loss, fatigue and dizziness in short term and diabetes, high cholesterol and hypertension in a long term.
İstanbul Memorial Hospital "Scientific Weight Loss Diet Program" presents you medical solutions.
Most of us have such platform scales in our homes that sometimes we weigh, which making strange noises. More we are sensitive about our weight, more frequent we get on these scales. On each we get on, many figures pass over the mark look like one line in the middle of the scale and each passing figure shows us the weight we want to be. "This is my weight when I got married" "This passing is before my first giving birth" "That is my weight before buying a car" "That is before joining the military service" and eventually that mark line is made a decision for a number. If that number is so high that feeling us to weigh alone, such sentences are being established...
Obesity is a serious disease
Mistakes far to be scientific stand out at popular diets.
Obesity becomes increasingly widespread in our society. The changes that are shaped with the city culture are very important. Weight loss diet therapies have become a very popular issue with this increase. It is observed that many of the unscientific misinformation guide improperly our society beside this popularity. We gathered and answered for you the most frequently asked questions on this issue.
Event drinking water works. I cannot loss weight anyway, what is my difference from the others?
Your difference is your metabolic rate. The reason for some people to gain weighs despite eating less than others is their slow metabolic rate. Many factors such as genetic differences, age, gender, body fat/muscle rate and thyroid hormones affect this rate.
Is the eating a tool for happiness?
Definitely yes. Some people try to compensate the voids or stress in their life by eating something. However, when these results with the weight gain after a definite period, the person loses the temporary happiness and returns to beginning. This new source of the unhappiness acquired, may create in the person regret, lack of self-esteem and self-confidence or even more serious problems such as depression.
Is it possible to loss weight by drinking hot water with lemon in the mornings?
No it isn't. Diuretic effects of the skimming teas lead to excess fluid discharge. The same thing is true for sauna and sweat shirt also. They provide the fluid discharge by sweating. In this situation, the lost is water, not fat, and you return to your previous state when you drink water.
What should I do to loss regional weight?
It is impossible to loss regional weight. Metabolically, the most recent gained fat is the first lost fat in the weight loss process. The most common mistake is to consider that the fat at belly and hips will be lost by exercising the muscles at the abdomen and legs. Although it is possible to make tighter your abdomen and legs by these exercises, you cannot obtain a change at the fat mass here.
What will change if the weight loss is from the fat or not? Is not the important thing the figure we have seen on the scale?
The figure seen on the scale is just a general indicator. Consider that someone is walking on the beach with swimsuit. If you have to make a comment, on which do you talk about: how much is he/she numerically weighing or about his/her youthful or sagging body? Generally comments are made by the second style, and this is related to whether the body is rather formed with the fat or the muscle. Weights you lost in the short term by losing the muscle and water instead of the fat may make you happy on the scale, but never in front of a mirror !
I want to eat all I want and to loss weight at the same time. Is it possible with using drugs?
No it is not. First, diet + exercise is performed in the weight loss therapy, then drug using is applied by the specialists if this is failed. However, diet + exercise must go on in this period also. Improving of the nutritional behaviors is essential for the success of the weight loss treatment and none of the drugs can provide this.
I am already moving extremely during the day (housework, rush, etc.), so am I also really need to do exercises?
Yes you need. The movements you have done during the day in the frame of your routin tasks cannot be considered as exercises. Furthermore, the exercises have been done unconsciously may create a risk for your health. The important thing for the exercises to be helpful is to be performed with the correct pulse and in an appropriate time rather than be performed for a long time or with a high intensity.
Is the diet done by my friend suitable for me?
No it is not. Every person has different energy needs due to the reasons we explained above. Diet treatment pf every person is different due to these reasons, that is specific to individual.
My child is overweight but I think this will transfer to increase in length, Is it true?
Genetic factors have important effects on the obesity. That is your or your spouse's obesity affects your child's obesity also. However, except this, the number of overweight children due to improper nutritional habits is not less. The number of fat cells in the body increases until the end of adolescence and then the mass of these cells increases in the next periods. The weights you lost in adulthood reduce the size of your cells not their number. In this situation, the proper nutritional habits that you will gain to your him/her in the childhood period can provide a further increase of the fat cells' number and this decrease the risk for your child to continually deal with weight in the next life period. Remember that education in the society starts by educating of the children.
Is obesity a real disease or just a condition disturbing us visually?
Obesity is a disease. Excess fat than your body's need, does not only give a visual disturbance, but it also sends an open invitation to diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, high blood pressure, gallbladder stones, gout, some cancer types, joint disorders and many other diseases and even may be their major cause. Therefore, it will be a much innocent expression to consider such a risky condition as the only visual disturbance source.
And diet is a serious treatment !
Scientific researches indicate the short period of success is provided for the weight loss. Usually previous weights are returned back by 90% within 5 years. As Istanbul Memorial Hospital, we investigated where are the mistakes done, and we recognized that fight with the obesity with a single approach does not give result.
