3 Simple Steps to Lasting Weight Loss

By Chet Sandeksi


There are many hundreds of thousands of individuals who struggle with weight loss. These people typically strive diligently to lose the excess weight they carry with mixed results.

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.

He refused though, saying he wanted to do it a more natural way. Instead of resorting to weight loss surgery, he began working with a doctor to create the right weight loss program and has seen remarkable success. With the help of his doctor, Manuel he has lost almost 1,000 pounds without the aid of weight loss surgery or anything else unnatural.

He and his doctor came up with three simple steps to assure his improvement. Those three steps are as follows:

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.

One great way for a person who cannot use their legs while exercising or for one who does not want to use their legs while performing cardio exercises to still receive the benefits of a cardio work out is to make good use of a punching bag. Using a punching bag, either will standing still or from a chair, gives the body a great cardio work out without the use of the legs.

Instead, the person's arms are performing the vigorous movements that get the heart rate up and the cardio health a boost. Working the bag as fast as one can for a period of three minutes in a set will provide the cardio workout one is looking for.

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).

He learned the meaning of perseverance as he's spent a better fourth of his life fighting obesity. He took it a day at a time and made it happen. Any weight loss plan requires the same time and persistence to do it right. Avoid quick fix plans because they only give you temporary benefits. Lasting weight loss calls for a change of lifestyle that is unaffected by extreme diet plans. Eat less and more healthily.

Add in an exercise routine and a little bit of patience and you'll soon be wondering where all those pounds got to. Not that you'll be missing them of course.
