Without having to resort to weight loss surgery, many seek steps they can begin taking to shed those extra pounds. To learn the 3 simple steps to lasting weight loss, take the case study of Manuel Uribe into account.
Manuel Uribe is a 47 year old man from Monterrey, Mexico. He is best known for his record as the heaviest living person in the world. Back in the early 2000s era, he hit an all-time high of 1,320 pounds. He had been bedridden for years and was looking for a way out of his predicament. Doctors and friends recommended weight loss surgery as the easiest way to literally get back on his feet.
He refused though, saying he wanted to do it a more natural way. Instead of resorting to weight loss surgery, he began working with a doctor to create the right weight loss program and has seen remarkable success. With the help of his doctor, Manuel he has lost almost 1,000 pounds without the aid of weight loss surgery or anything else unnatural.
He and his doctor came up with three simple steps to assure his improvement. Those three steps are as follows:
First, they created a diet that dropped his daily intake of calories to 2,000. His diet consisted of egg-white omelets, fresh salads, chicken fajitas, fish fillet and spring greens. This diet did two things for him. First, it reduced the sheer amount of food Manuel was eaten. Instead of eating several hearty meals, his food intake was reduced drastically. The second thing it did was concentrate his diet on healthier foods. He received a more balanced diet that contained all of the normal, healthy nutrients that the body needs. With a controlled diet, the body can start shedding excess fat.
Second, he began an exercise routine that he could handle in bed. Simply dancing around to music for an extend amount of time was better than nothing. Getting the heart rate up is what matters to burning fat. Regular exercise for at least 30 minutes a day helps to shed the pounds the body doesn't need to survive.
Third and finally, returning to a healthy weight takes time and persistence. Manuel's changed lifestyle has taken him nearly a decade to reach his current weight. With his own will power pushing him forward, he has hit important milestones along the way. He started by losing 400 pound on his own before his efforts became internationally famous in 2006 via television programs.
Once the media had finished with their coverage, Manuel kept going. By 2008, he dropped to 790 pounds and has continued working until his 440 pound measurement in February of last year (2012).
He learned the meaning of perseverance as he's spent a better fourth of his life fighting obesity. He took it a day at a time and made it happen. Any weight loss plan requires the same time and persistence to do it right. Avoid quick fix plans because they only give you temporary benefits. Lasting weight loss calls for a change of lifestyle that is unaffected by extreme diet plans. Eat less and more healthily.
Add in an exercise routine and a little bit of patience and you'll soon be wondering where all those pounds got to. Not that you'll be missing them of course.
