Miami, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/30/2015 -- Figuring out how to lose 20 pounds seems like a simple task. However, dieting and successful weight loss are extremely challenging for most people. This is because there is such a huge gap between WANTING to lose 20 pounds and understanding HOW to lose 20 pounds. Losing the first 5 pounds is usually easy and happens fast for most people. Tackling the next 15 pounds is the tricky part. It requires crucial changes in the body's metabolism and physiology. From neurotransmitters in the brain that control appetite to hormones released in the gut to fat cells which alter physiologic processes, the mechanisms required to lose significant amounts of excess fat can be challenging.

Dieting and weight loss can be frustrating and challenging for most people because simply eating "diet foods" does not work. And, while many fad diets will help patients generate initial weight loss, they also generate enormous amounts of revenue for the company, however, rarely do they ever result in long term weight loss. This is because the diet is designed NOT to deliver long term weight loss. Patients who lose 20 pounds of fat and are able to keep it off permanently, are no longer repeat customers and of no financial benefit to the company.

The human body is a very intricate and complicated instrument, responding to various situations by conveying signals from the control center, particularly the hypothalamus and the brain stem. When dieting, these signals are generated from the gut, adipose tissue, liver and pancreas. Gut hormones are secreted during the food intake process generating cues, including hunger, satiety, reward and emotional wellbeing. In addition, increased feelings of hunger and decreased feelings of satiety after patients reach their ideal weight are associated with an increase in the 24-hour profile of circulating levels of ghrelin, also referred to as the "hunger" hormone. These changes in appetite-related hormones appear to persist for at least 1 year after weight reduction and may remain altered indefinitely in a manner that promotes increased energy intake and, ultimately, weight regain. For this reason, diet plans should include aftercare supervision that will teach those who have struggled to successfully lose excess weight how to keep it off permanently.

Simply stated, successfully losing 20 pounds of fat body mass can be made easier when supervised by a team of qualified medical professionals who are trained in the science of safe and fast weight loss and who understand how all of this really works.
