In the context of physical health, weight loss is the process of losing body weight, typically by losing fat. Losing excess weight provides valuable benefits, such as better health, higher self-esteem, increased quality of life. To achieve weight loss, more calories must be expended than taken in. This can be achieved by reducing the amount of food consumed, increasing physical activity or a combination of the two.
For healthy weight loss, most experts recommend a combination of healthy eating patterns and regular physical exercise. Other methods of losing weight include use of prescribed or herbal drugs or chemicals that decrease appetite and/or increase physical activity. Increasing metabolism can help enhance any weight loss plan, and eating breakfast in the morning can increase metabolism, as can eating smaller meals throughout the day. Eating four to six small meals, two to three hours apart, is usually recommended.
Surgical options are also available. Liposuction removes targeted area of fat and tissue while bariatric surgeries can result in large weight loss by reducing the size of the stomach or reducing the absorption of food energy. But it is not appropriate for every one. Surgical and drug options may have serious side-effects.
