I almost fell out of my seat today when I read that the Australian airline Qantas are now going to charge extra for passengers who request crossover or emergency exit rows! Aiming at overweight or tall people they expect to pick up another $2500 or so on each flight by doing so.

Well as age advances, in my case so has the weight. And I love to travel - but we are getting stung more and more. So here it is - lose weight and get shorter. As I am yet to have the private jet I guess losing a few pounds/ kilos is the way to go…… better for the health as well.

Image via WikipediaRapid weight loss programs can have a strange effect on some people as they underestimate just how it will change their lives. One of the most important aspects of losing weight is attitude and changing bad habits and replacing them with new but good ones, something that requires a certain consistency. Just how quickly an individual loses weigh will depend on many issues; a number of these are highlighted below:

* Genetic make-up
* Previous mental trauma
* Current mind frame

A person’s weight can cause severe mental and physical anguish. Of all the changes that happen to a person when they start to regain their old weight, it is those of being happy with what they are achieving that is the most pleasing. Is it surprising that rapid weight loss programs are so popular where there is so much to be gained; anyone contemplating this type of program needs to start eating a healthy diet as well as taking part in daily physical activity. This will require a regular and routine exercise period every day of about fifteen minutes, preferably a cardiovascular program and a diet that is flexible enough to incorporate personal tastes.

Though there are many rapid weight loss plans out there, everyone’s body and metabolism reacts differently to these programs; some people can’t progress on the diet as fast as others. If you find that your exercise regime and diet aren’t providing the weight loss fast enough you may need to adjust your regime accordingly. Whilst most systems do work, there isn’t one that will work for everyone that uses it so you may have to try another if the one you are using isn’t producing results; this is quite natural.

You may find that you are more comfortable walking than any other form of exercise; this is proven to be the best exercise and as muscles burn more calories than fat it’s also best to put on a little muscle which will make you look good too. The importance of drinking fresh water regularly cannot be emphasized enough; in particular with a rapid weight loss program because you need to stay hydrated and water is very good at removing unwanted toxins from the system. Fried foods are generally bad for you even when they are chicken or fish, both of which contain more fat than beef when it is fried.

Food that is grilled is generally better for your health so when presented with this option, take this over fried food. We all need energy to carry out daily tasks, and more if we perform physical activities, so do not stop eating carbohydrates otherwise you will find yourself tired all the time. Using a weight loss plan like this will mean that if followed correctly then around a pound a day will be lost, depending on the individual but it must be said that failure to maintain this level of 1,000 to 1,500 calories per day will ensure the weight will be put back on.
