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.
This is especially true for individuals who, for a variety of reasons, cannot actively participate in the standard cardiovascular exercises that most people participate in to lose weight. Cardiovascular exercise has been shown to be one of the most effective exercise methods for those who are striving to lose weight.
There are several factors that are affecting the amount of obese and overweight people in America. First, we, as a culture, do not do very much walking. We are either sitting at home, sitting at work, or sitting in our cars. Generally, we do not use public transportation to travel places; because of this, we spend a lot of time in our cars.
Also generally, in our culture, exercise is looked upon negatively. People don't like exercising and they don't look forward to it. People view exercising as something hard and not fun that they must do if they want to lose weight. They do not realize that losing weight requires a lifestyle change and a modified perspective and outlook on life.
The reason why people struggle to accept that a lifestyle change is needed is because they are comfortable with the way they are currently living with. Very few people are accepting of the idea that they need to change several big things about their life.
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).
Swimming is likewise less impactful on a person's back, hips, knees, and ankles, making it a quality exercise for those who wish to avoid over use of their legs while exercising. Other options for those who want to lose weight through cardio exercise but who cannot use their legs while exercising include any action that works the big muscles in the arms and hips, such as rowing, air boxing, pushups, and rope pulling.
These gimmicks have temporary results, but rarely yield any lasting weight loss. If you have tried to lose weight and can't, perhaps weight loss surgery is for you. Weight loss surgery is not right for everyone, but it could be right for you. Come into Jordan Valley Medical today to learn about the procedure that could change your life.
