Your weight loss program will monitor or control your calorie intake and ensure that your metabolism rate is high and calories are being burnt fast. An effective weight loss program will never let your metabolism rate slow down. The good news is that you don't need to starve yourself slim as a healthy lifestyle will always win.

Most weight loss programs are successful in the first few days or weeks depending upon circumstances. But after that, your body’s rate of burning calories or metabolism rate gets diminished. As a result, you continue to cut calories as much as you desire but the process of weight loss slows down.

After some time, few people even lament that they have stopped losing weight altogether! Naturally such a person will feel frustrated and demotivated and even leave off his weight loss program. They tend to think that their weight loss program has stopped yielding visible results.

But there are specialized weight loss programs available where the consumption of calories will be dissimilar on two consecutive days. Your rate of losing weight will remain continuous because such a program will trick/fool your body’s metabolism in to not being aware of the fact that you are on a diet.

Thus you will gain your target weight and achieve a new slim and trim look.

This has to be followed by maintenance or back up program so that you continue to possess your shapely figure through out your life and not bloat up by returning to your old unhealthy habits.

Weight loss programs are available free of cost in health and fitness magazines, websites and periodicals. But if you desire a professional and scientific customized and tailor made weight loss program, you have to consult your doctor, nutritionist and fitness instructor who will work in tandem to chart out a proper program for you. You may choose to visit a reputed weight loss clinic, where you will obtain all these facilities under one roof.

A weight loss program is a combination of proper diet, regular exercise, back up program, and /or medication, that is, anti obesity drugs. But this last one is not an absolute must and your doctor will decide on the dosage and the type of medicine you require.

Stay away from programs which claim to reduce 5 inches in 5 days or 7 pounds in 7 days. They are just taking you for a ride to make some quick money and the claims are usually highly exaggerated. Doctors, nutritionists and fitness experts will all unanimously agree that losing more than 2 pounds per week is unhealthy and unsafe. Always chose a healthy weight loss regime.
