Why Most Diet Plans Actually "work"

By Rey Vetangelo


Have you noticed how many diet plans there are out there? You know the classics, like Weight Watchers and Atkins.The media is full of advertisements proclaiming the newest breakthrough diet plan that will change your life. The number of plans increases every day, and they're all saying the same thing, "this really works."So if they all really work, why is it that so many people fail at them so often? They try the plan out for a while but quickly find that it doesn't "work" for them and switch to lap bands from Mexico to have the same effect.

They keep searching until they find the right diet that works. With so many testimonies displayed for each plan though, can they all be right?They can. Here's why.

While water exercise can be and are used by persons of all different weights and levels of physical fitness, because even professional athletes use water aerobics extensively to stay in good shape, making appropriate use of exercise in the pool can be especially beneficial for those who are overweight or those who have physical limitations that prevent them from receiving exercise in another form. This is because water based aerobics and even water based weight training are far less impactful than traditional methods of working out.

One commonality you'll find amongst a majority of the diets out there is a focus on reducing the amount of food you consume every day. That's because it is one of the most needed changes to help you lose weight.

Just as the name would suggest, water walking is simply walking around in the pool. But to those who may find it difficult to walk on land for great lengths and receive exercise in that way, water walking can be a great and extremely beneficial alternative.

There's nothing that's worse for someone's health than an unusual increase in stress. We all lead busy lives with intense schedules that don't lend themselves to easy living. Sometimes get stuck in an endless loop where our stress level increases, not the other way around. We fail to sit back and relax in life because we don't have time for such a thing.

Second, the diet plans either (1) include an exercise plan, or (2) reduce your diet to a point that your everyday movements will burn calories. Either way, your body burns its energy stores to work.

The harder you work the body, the more energy it must expend. Your body stores fat so that it has energy in times of depletion. Hence when you get into exercise, the body begins tapping into fat stores for its needed energy. In the diets that don't ask for more exercise, they are often extremely fat reduced in their food suggestions so that your body still has to turn to its own fat for energy.

There are many, many, ways in which a person who is trying to lose weight can perform a meaningful exercise in water. Water walking is one of the most basic forms of aquatic exercise, but there are multiple exercise routines and work outs that a person can perform in a pool to help them lose weight and maintain a healthy body.
