You should aim to treat an impending surgery as a competitive athlete would treat a major event--prepare for it completely beforehand, and aim to come in on the big day at your "fighting weight." Keeping your body in optimal condition before the surgery can help to minimize risks along with improving your prognosis during the recovery period. While switching from your "normal" diet to a pre-surgery weight-loss diet won't be easy mentally, understand that it will afford you the best chance of coming out of the operation in one piece.
Activate a Weight Loss Program
Many people want to shed unwanted pounds quickly. There are countless diets and exercise programs to choose from and implementing them can be close to impossible. There are many obstacles to overcome such as time restraints, expense of gyms or exercise equipment, and lack of preparation and knowledge about nutrition and exercising. The key to weight loss is burning more calories than you consume.
Calculate Weight Loss Percentage
Many doctors recommend that people who are overweight could greatly improve their health by losing just 10 percent of their body weight, but how do you know the percentage of weight you have lost?
Stimulate Weight Loss
Stimulating weight loss can be accomplished by combining a healthy diet with a couple weekly sessions of high intensity interval training. Results won't come overnight but with consistency and patience, you can accomplish your weight loss goals.
Have a Weight Loss Contest
Beginning and then committing to a weight loss program can be a real challenge. Hosting a weight loss contest with friends, family or co-workers is a fun way to bring together people and create a positive, motivating environment for your weight loss endeavors. Not only does the contest create a support group for individuals seeking motivation, it helps you track your progress throughout the duration of the contest.
