A Slow And Steady Weight-Loss Approach Is The Way To Go, Says Nirmal Singh 3C


A recent study has shown that losing consistently over the weeks is better than shredding heavily over a few days. This will also keep the weight from coming back.
The study was conducted in the Drexel University where more than 180 weight-loss participants were enrolled in the program. It was seen that people who experienced fluctuating weight loss during the first few weeks saw poor weight loss results as compared to people who lost weight consistently over the weeks.

Nirmal Singh 3C said that developing a stable weight-loss behavior in the early stages of the program is important. People who took a steady and slow approach saw better results. Repeatable and steady intake and weight loss behavior not only showed positive results but also helped the participants in maintaining the weight for a longer period of time.

There were various psychological studies that were being conducted at the same time. Psychologists wanted to know how some people can be less stressful during weight loss programs and does a desperate approach has anything to do with the final outcomes of the program. - Nirmal Singh 3C
The study stretched over two years in which individuals who were overweight or obese were enrolled. The program brought in meal replacements, calorie monitoring, self-monitoring and also increased the physical activities that the participants have been doing.


The final report said that there was higher weight variability during the first six and eight weeks of the program. The weight loss treatment over that period predicted that there will be poor weight loss during 12 and 24 months for people who lost more in the first few weeks. If someone lost 4 kg during the first week, he was likely to gain back 2 kg and then lose only 1 in the next week. The story of people who just lost 2 kg in the first week was different – they kept losing the same amount repeatedly and experienced better results. - Nirmal Singh 3C

Nirmal Singh 3C finds an interesting study that says a child forms a strange dislike to the vegetables which indeed has nothing to do with their parents. According to a new study, due to genetic mutations, youngsters try new foods while many other are fussy eaters. Nirmal Singh 3C thinks that this study will help in paving way for children who are fighting with childhood obesity epidemic.  According to a new research in the US, DNA is linked with the kind of taste a toddler would develop which is why they are fussy about their eating habits which is why they develop a bitter taste at the age of four. Nirmal Singh 3C would like to get specific with the names, as TAS2R38 is associated with dietary variety other called CA6 that puts a child out of control during mealtimes. People generally blame parents for children being fussy about their food habits, however that is not the case, as it is a matter of nature and not nurture. This was further corroborated by Natasha Cole

Pollution clearly reduces our memory and exposes us to particulate matter, fine inhalable particles of diameters of 2.5 micrometres or less as well as carbon, the prime source of pollutant caused due to traffic.
