Excellent Weight Loss Surgery Alternatives

Sure, you can go out and try to get liposuction, lap-band surgery or vertical banded gastroplasty (VBG) where staples are used to divide the stomach in two parts. You could get the roux-en-Y gastric bypass where you turn your stomach into a tiny pouch and eat tiny amounts of food for the rest of your life. Nervermind the symptoms of weakness, faintness, nausea, sweating and diarrhea after eating. These procedures are expensive and they pose a serious risk to your emotional and physical health or even your life. Weight loss surgery has been proven to cause severe side effects. Did you know that side affects of weight loss surgery could include gallstones, nutritional deficiency, infection, leaking or pulmonary embolism (a sudden blockage in the lung artery)? Are you sure you want to sign yourself up for this? You don’t have to risk losing your life to lose weight. Your perfect weight can be achieved by using inexpensive holistic methods proven to work even in the most challenging situations. Consider weight loss coaching by phone to get the accountability, guidance and personal support you need. By having a personal coach you can get the emotional and spiritual support you need to get past the overwhelming urge to overeat and remain inactive. People who become Christians and invite the Lord Jesus Christ into their lives have a renewed sense of purpose which can fight against depression and increase self-esteem. When you feel better about yourself, it is much easier to stay motivated and remain patient enough to diligently improve your eating and exercise habits. Christian counseling for weight loss can be a perfect gateway to freedom from long-lasting weight issues. Many scientific studies have been conducted that prove that prayer works. For example, cardiologist Randolph Byrd studied 393 patients at San Francisco General Hospital where some of the people were unknowingly being prayed for and some were not. The results were astounding. The patients who were prayed for needed less drugs, spent less time on ventilators and fared much better than the other patients who received the same treatment without prayer! Prayer can also be powerful tool to help you lose weight, overcome food addiction and the low self-confidence associated with being very overweight. A recent ABC News report showed that over-the-phone weight loss counseling works. It proved that subjects in a study were more successful and that telephone counseling is a cost-effective alternative to face-to-face meetings. Phone coaching is proven to be more convenient for people who live in rural areas and people with very busy schedules. This proves that telephone coaching could be an excellent alterative to weight loss surgery. When you add the spiritual element to a healthy weight loss program, this may more than double your chances for success. Find a Christian nutrition and fitness specialist that you love and start a holistic “non-invasive” diet exercise plan. Get on the path to spiritual growth so you can heal the emotional and external reasons you’re overweight right now.
