Although many people are in a battle to shed a ten pound gut, many others have problems that are much more of a problem. With over a hundred million people in the United States who are obese or overweight, there are serious weight loss needs that require extreme procedures. It’s not unusual to meet someone who needs to lose one hundred pounds or more. Some of these people (or maybe even you) don’t think it’s possible to ever lose that much weight.

I want you to know that losing massive amounts of weight is possible, so don’t give hope and don’t take away someone else’s hope. I’m looking at a study from Kentucky that looked at over one hundred people who set off to lose one hundred pounds. These were people who were seen at the university hospital.

These people were guided through a very intense program that replaced meals, conducted classes, and increased physical activity. The study has a lot of data gathered from periodic assessments, weekly weigh-ins, and other guides that help us understand how this works.

One thing is for sure: doing some exercise at home for strength and brief cardiovascular drills are the best way to start.

I’m talking about just get moving a little bit, build some strength and avoid any kind of repetitive motion injuries. This is why I say you should walk 3 times daily for ten minutes. You break up the exercise as you get acclimated and so you don’t get hurt either.

The most radical way to bring about extreme weight loss is by addressing nutritional goals.

Get rid of the junk food and make slow but positive steps toward building new dietary habits.
