Things to consider when opting for weight loss programs

In today’s hectic, fast pace way of living, we often don’t have enough time to cook up a healthy meal. As a result we resort to fast food and even though it is a fast solution, it is unhealthy, laden with calories, fat, sugar and salt. Frequently eating food high in calories leads to tremendous weight gain and obesity. At present more than half of the population is overweight. Obesity can increase your risk of other diseases and health problems such as heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and certain cancers.

People often turn to food as comfort and use food as a coping mechanism (emotional eating). People tend to overeat because of strong emotions or feelings that arise and do no know how to deal with these feelings. When you are stressed, your body releases cortisol to deal with it, this leads to an increase in your appetite which the body stores as belly fat and also leads to the inhibition of the parasympathetic nervous system, which aids digestion.

When dealing with excess weight and obesity, people often turn to dieting but even after months of dieting you may notice a lack of progress or results. Or, more commonly the weight lost comes back, once you can no longer stick to the programme or it ends. However any diet programme must address our emotions and work WITH our bodies not against. We can train our mind to do just about anything, including improving our eating habits. The best approach to this is mindfulness meditation.

Mindfulness has been proven to be a powerful approach for dealing with stress, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc. But new studies have shown that practicing mindfulness can improve weight loss, combat obesity or maintain body weight.

Mindful eating has been shown to help people gain awareness of their bodies, to be in tune to hunger and recognise external cues as well as decreasing food cravings and emotional eating. Mindfulness can help in weight loss through improving eating habits and changing attitudes to food. It also can help address the triggers linked to overeating such as anxiety.
