About The Fat Loss Blog
This site was started with the aim of providing free, practical information to help healthy people lose weight safely. This site provides information in the form of diet plans, sample diets, calorie charts, guidelines, tips and recipes, we also give information in other areas of human anatomy, physiology and psychology. From these topics we attempt to pick out the important aspects and describe in basic terms how each process works and why its important for successful weight loss. This holistic approach often encourages a new found motivation in people and in many cases helps people put theoretical knowledge to practical use. For many visitors this new knowledge often helps in making better decisions about lifestyle change and help focus more energy towards the goal of healthy, permanent weight loss.
The Premise
The basis of weight management is good nutrition and exercise. But that is so simplistic that it’s almost patronising. As an “instant-gratification” society it’s no wonder we reach for every quick fix we can find. When the quick-fixes fail – opinions get cynical, self-image can plummet, and many people begin a vicious cycle of loss and re-gain.
Different things work for different people. Nutrition is individualistic. It’s easy to criticize everything except that which worked for me – but that’s not particularly helpful.
Eating healthily, and learning to use the best of the nutritional advice that’s out there is a good thing. Falling into disordered/obsessional eating is not a good thing. The concept of dieting is not a good thing (going on and off diets all the time).
