Calorie Restriction – No Sure Shot Formula For Weight Loss

The practice of calorie restriction is on a rise nowadays. Most of us find it to be an easy alternative for weight loss as it’s much easier as compared to the rigorous hardship of weight loss exercise. But, unfortunately for most of them who have tried a calorie-restricted diet to lose weight and worked really hard to stick to it, have failed to lose any significant amount of weight to their dismay.

Well, our gene is to be blamed for this delay in weight loss as a genetic variant induces a sort of buffer against changes in how the body burns and stores food energy. This gene variant, identified in various researches appears to protect against weight gain in lean women – but seems to actually prevent weight loss in men and women who have become obese.

Therefore weight control by the means of a calorie restricted diet is not a reliable option. In most of the cases of obese people, it has turned out to be a totally inactive procedure. As the carriers of the variant gene did not experience significant weight changes in the year they ate a calorie restricted diet, so it’s of no use to opt for calorie restriction. You’ve got innumerable options available for curtailing obesity apart from this tedious diet plan.

A breed of diet pills or appetite depressants can do wonders to your life by making weight loss a reality for you. Diet drugs such as phentermine, adipex, xenical and a horde of others can help you lose weight within a very short span of time. Apart from some mild side effects, these diet drugs are perfectly safe. To derive maximum benefit from them, you need to couple these diet pills with a bit of exercise and a healthy diet plan. It’ll help you to keep away those extra pounds for a long time.
