The beginning of the year has always been characterized as a key date for those people who have set out to lose a few kilos or who, with the Christmas holidays, have put on a few extra pounds and the scales show a result that is not very flattering for their mood.
Common mistakes when it comes to losing weight
There are some mistakes to avoid if we want weight loss to be effective.
- Strict diets that cannot be sustained in the long term and have a rebound effect in the future.
- Using “miracle products” and various proposals that try to convince us of something that is not true: losing weight is not easy, so when there is talk of rapid and “magical” weight loss, we should be wary.
- Falling into discouragement and quitting, which eternally postpones the start of a change, because… “what’s the point… I’ll always get fat again”.
It is possible to lose weight: a balloon
It is possible to lose weight, but you have to do it right. If the help of nutritionists is not enough, there are different techniques to help you during the process. Depending on the degree of overweight or obesity, there are some that are better than others. If you are moderately overweight, the balloon pump is appropriate for those who want to lose about 10 kilos. With this weight loss, the person already feels much better and eager to continue with the follow-up program that nutritionists, psychologists and coaches, among others, develop for each patient according to their profile.
When not to take the balloon?
It is not an appropriate technique for everyone, only for those people who have a body mass index between 27-36 and are looking to lose about 10 kilos. For other types of profiles there are other techniques such as the Gastric Balloon or the POSE Method.
