Quantifying Weight Loss Parameters on the BSC Scale

The word "extra" is not always pleasing to ears

For instance, the context can be either a managerial group"s conclusion to go for a "pink slip spree for escaping the extra workforce" or "somebody who is trying his level best to get rid of the extra flab and be in shape".

Regarding the latter subject, besides the desire to look good, putting weight under control is a necessity as "several" and "much more serious" problems stem from this "physical state". Sooner or later, ailments like Diabetes, heart disease, stroke etc do emerge because of these undesired fat deposits. Consequently, it is often found that people put their heart and soul in their efforts to "feel lightened". On a less serious note, it does not make any sense to "build-up, nourish and drag" the unwanted pounds. To conclude, obesity has to be prevented and minimized at every cost. However, it is easier said than done. The approach has to be a very well-thought one as making very intense attempts that too "immediately" can sometimes backfire and exaggerate the issues even more. So, walking this "lighter path" should be done strategically and in a pre-planned manner.

Though on the whole, it is all about "re-shaping the eating patterns" and "elevating the physical exercises" but one should progress gradually into this area and clearly differentiate between "starving" and "losing weight". "Starving" has its own set of woes associated with it like difficulty in regulating body temperature and decreased resistance to infections.

A "taking care of everything" approach is possible by employing a tool for consistent monitoring of the process. An appropriate food-chart as per the interest and capability of the "prospective weight loser" should be structured so that neither the trainee nor the trainer suffers. The techniques available to be chosen from range from something as simple and affordable as "lengthening the work-out sessions" to something as complicated and expensive as "choosing medical procedures".

This can be materialized when clear and complete targets are assigned post-the needed analysis. There is more than one direction, which have to be looked after to achieve the objective.

The aspects which should be followed for successfully attaining the "much- wanted slim look" are- Activity Evaluation, Planning, Effectiveness and Diet Charts and Routine Patterns.

The KPIs for evaluation of the whole activity are- Number of steps/techniques taken to lose weight, Actual Weight Lost: Intended Amount, Average improvement in various parameters used to gauge the progress and % achievement from the weight loss treatment period.

Planning can be had with parameters such as - % compliance, Behavioral Education Class Duration and 'Capability and Interest' Accordance. One can have the analysis of Effectiveness assessed using the indicators like "Sluggishness Decline", "Satisfaction ratio", "Side-effects from supplements taken" and "Side-effects from supplements taken". Finally, Diet Chart and Routine Patterns can be had with metrics like "Daily Water Intake", 'Healthy Diet' Fraction", "Sleep Duration" and "Average calorie savings". By looking at the values of these parameters, it is possible to embark and get over with a "successful weight loss" exercise.
