What is the best way to lose weight?

That depends on certain restrictions you have and your basic definition of what best means.

For example, for those who equate best with the fastest, the best method to lose pounds would be to undergo surgical procedures such as liposuction. These methods take less than a day to produce results and require very little effort. That is if you have no money problem.

However, for those whose definition of best is healthiest, then the combination of regular exercise and good diet is a common choice. The only problem with this is that results do not show very quickly and tremendous discipline is required.

Others that do not have space in their schedules for regular exercise routines consider dieting (a.k.a. fasting) as the best method for losing weight. They just simply cut down on carbohydrate intake and then go on with their usual thing.  It’s the least disruptive and least expensive technique. I’m just not sure if it’s the healthiest though.

As for me, the best way to lose weight is to play. When I was still in college, I used to play basketball with my friends at least once a week. During my first year of teaching, I used to play soccer at least twice a week. Unfortunately, now, I don’t have time to play any of those games anymore. I do however play with my son. It may not be as physically strenuous as basketball or soccer, but i have to admit. Mateo really makes me sweat a lot. Not to mention, we usually end up out of breath from all the running and wrestling.
