The Big Picture of Permanent Weight Loss


Most people who read


my articles and e-books know me as a science guy who likes to quote studies and apply research to everyday problems such as weight loss, bodybuilding, and other health/fitness related topics. However, sometimes you have to step back from the science and look at the big picture to help bring people back into focus, so they can see the forest for the trees, so to speak.

For most people reading this article, finding an effective diet that works most of the time must seem as complicated as nuclear physics. It's not, but there are a bewildering number of choices for diets out there. High fat or no fat? High carbohydrate or no carbohydrate? Low protein or high protein? To make matters worse, there are a million variations and combinations to the above diet scenarios to add to the confusion. It seems endless and causes many people to throw up their hands in frustration and give up. In this article I will attempt to change all that.


There are some general guidelines,


rules of thumb, and ways of viewing a diet program that will allow you to decide, once and for all, if it's the right diet for you. You may not always like what I have to say, and you should be under no illusions this is another quick fix, "lose 100 lbs. in 20 days," guide of some sort. However, if you are sick and tired of being confused, tired of taking the weight off only to put it back on, and tired of wondering how to take the first steps to deciding the right diet for you that will result in permanent weight loss, then this is the article that could change your life...


Does your diet pass "The Test"?



What is the number one reason diets fail long term; above all else? The number one reason is...drum roll...a lack of long term compliance. The numbers don't lie; the vast majority of people who lose weight will regain it - and often exceed what they lost. You knew that already didn't you?

Yet, what are you doing to avoid it? Here's another reality check: virtually any diet you pick which follows the basic concept of "burning" more calories then you consume - the well accepted "calories in calories out" mantra - will cause you to lose weight. To some degree, they all work: Atkins-style, no carb diets, low fat high carb diets, all manner of fad diets - it simply does not matter in the short term.


If your goal is to lose some weight quickly,


then pick one and follow it. I guarantee you will lose some weight. Studies generally find any of the commercial weight loss diets will get approximately the same amount of weight off after 6 months to a year. For example, a recent study found the Atkins' Diet, Slim-Fast plan, Weight Watchers Pure Points program, and Rosemary Conley's Eat Yourself Slim diet, were all equally effective. (1)

Other studies comparing other popular diets have come to essentially the same conclusions. For example, a study that compared the Atkins diet, the Ornish diet, Weight Watchers, and The Zone Diet, found them to be essentially the same in their ability to take weight off after one year. (2)

Recall what I said about the number one reason diets fail, which is a lack of compliance. The lead researcher of this recent study stated:

"Our trial found that adherence level rather than diet type was the primary predictor of weight loss"(3)

Translated, it's not which diet they chose per se, but their ability to actually stick to a diet that predicted their weight loss success. I can just see the hands going up now, "but Will, some diets must be better than others, right?" Are some diets better then others? Absolutely. Some diets are healthier then others, some diets are better at preserving lean body mass, some diets are better at suppressing appetite - there are many differences between diets. However, while most of the popular diets will work for taking weight off, what is abundantly clear is that adhering to the diet is the most important aspect for keeping the weight off long term.

What is a diet?
A diet is a short term strategy to lose weight. Long term weight loss is the result of an alteration in lifestyle. We are concerned with life long weight management, not quick fix weight loss here. I don't like the term diet, as it represents a short term attempt to lose weight vs. a change in lifestyle. Want to lose a bunch of weight quickly? Heck, I will give you the information on how to do that here and now for no charge.

For the next 90 to 120 days eat 12 scrambled egg whites, one whole grapefruit, and a gallon of water twice a a day. You will lose plenty of weight. Will it be healthy? Nope. Will the weight stay off once you are done with this diet and are then forced to go back to your "normal" way of eating? Not a chance. Will the weight you lose come from fat or will it be muscle, water, bone, and (hopefully!) some fat? The point being, there are many diets out there that are perfectly capable of getting weight off you, but when considering any eating plan designed to lose weight, you must ask yourself:

Many men are desperate enough to add length and thickness

The issue about whether a mans penis size matters during sex has been discussed countless times. There is no doubt that having a bigger male organ gives you the ability to better satisfy her sexually. So if you want to make sure you perform well in bed and keep her happy by fulfilling her needs, it never hurts to do increase your penis size... well, at least it won't if you know the proper way of doing so. Because although there are many available 'help' to enhance your manhood, not all of them are proven to be effective, or even work at all. And with these male enhancement products selling expensively, choosing the wrong option may prove to be a heavy price to pay indeed. Many men are desperate enough to add length and thickness to their manhood quickly, that they tend to easily be swayed by the marketing gimmicks these enhancement products come with. No matter how boldly they claim to be able to significantly make your penis bigger, there is no scientific proof ...

Breast Enlargement For Men - Some Ways to Increase Your Breast Size

How many men do you know who are perfectly, completely satisfied with their sex life in a relationship? How many male friends do you have who SAY their sex life is just fine, and it isn't? How often do you say your sex life is great, and you alone know it isn't so? We men have an enormous amount of pride and self worth tied up in the quality of our sex life. If our sex life is "great", according to the standards we apply, we feel great about ourselves. If, according to the same standards, our sex life is not "great", then typically we don't feel very great about ourselves either. In fact, we're prone to feeling lousy and ashamed, and we ask ourselves what might be wrong with us. We think those "other guys" have it much better, 'cause they're famous, muscular, handsome, witty, whatever. In this manner, sex turns into this weird thing that we simultaneously need, covet and fear. Can't live without it, can't stand...

Weight Loss Surgeries Are Not a Cure - But a Tool

Weight loss surgeries are not a cure for obesity  Infact you only have a few years to enjoy the sole benefits of weight loss surgeries. Permanent weight loss is not assured through weight loss surgeries; rather it is about a change in lifestyle. Obviously weight loss surgeries do not constitute a lifestyle change. Types of weight loss surgeries: There are basically three types of weight loss surgery procedures; (i) Restrictive weight loss surgery (ii) Mal-absorptive weight loss surgery (iii) Restrictive and mal-absorptive (Combined) weight loss surgery. Restrictive weight loss surgeries are procedures that reduces the size of the stomach such that you are forced to eat less by restricting the amount of food you stomach can hold at a time hence the term restrictive surgery. This is usually done in two main ways, either using staples or using a band. Both procedures reduce the size of the effective stomach by creating a small pouch out of the main stomach using either...
