Is one of your New Year’s resolutions to lose weight? To
finally start to feel good about yourself and look good?
You aren’t alone, as millions of Americans are looking for
that ‘perfect weight loss program’. Here are a 7 steps you
can start today and see results very quickly. No fads, just
facts maam :o)
Current statistics reveal that 75% of Americans are
overweight and 40% are
obese. For those who desire to lose weight and obtain
optimal health, sometimes it can be overwhelming trying to
figure out where to start. From the Atkins Diet to the
South Beach Diet; from the low fat to low carb diets, there
are numerous weight-loss plans to choose from. In addition,
given conflicting information as to what works best, it can
be difficult deciding what to do.
For those who have tried many diet plans with no success,
it becomes more difficult and frustrating. Many people
forget that a diet might work wonders for
their friend but won’t work well for them…not because the
diet is bad, but because each body reacts differently.
However, there is a way to lose weight that is easy, fast,
and doesn’t involve deprivation or calorie counting.
Before the weight loss tips are discussed, it’s important
to address some background information about body genetics
and why weight loss can be difficult.
Before anyone starts a diet, it is important to note that
each person has a different body build. Some people are
short and stout while others are tall and thin. Some have
big hips and shoulders, and others are short and very
muscular.
Genetics can determine body shape and a person’s natural
build just as it does eye color, hair color, skin color,
and so on. The good news is that genetics do not determine
whether or not one will be fat, but will determine one’s
body shape. This means that not every woman can expect to
be tall and thin like a Hollywood actress or supermodel
such as Tyra Banks. Not every man can expect to be defined
and muscular like The Rock. The goal, really, is to be at a
comfortable weight for one’s body shape and to feel good
about it.
So, why are people overweight? Here are 11 of the most
common reasons:
1. Slow metabolism: People who are overweight have a hard
time burning off food.
As a result, the fat is stored.
2. Emotional eating: Those who struggle with weight often
eat when stressed or when other emotional upheavals are
happening in their life.
3. Hormonal imbalances.
4. Eating portions that are too large.
5. Eating lots of diet food (that is low fat,low carb,
and sugar free foods).
6. Build up of toxins in the body.
7. Eating late: Late-night eating can cause food to convert
to fat more easily.
8. High susceptibility to growth hormones: These hormones
are given to animals to help them grow faster and larger,
so meat and dairy have residual growth hormones. In humans,
these hormones can result in increased fat storage.
9. Not eating breakfast.
10. Numerous diets: Going from diet to diet has a negative
impact on the metabolism and causes weight loss to be much
more difficult.
11. Food ingredients: The reasons why are amazing and
beyond the scope of this article.
Simple Tips for Easy Weight Loss:
Now that there is a better understanding of body genetics
and why people have a tendency to be overweight, here are
the tips for fast, easy weight loss.
Tip #1: Drink water upon arising: First thing in the
morning, drink eight ounces of distilled water, bottled
water, or filtered water (not tap water).
Tip #2: Eat a big breakfast: This should be done 45 minutes
after getting up in the morning. Suggested organic foods to
choose from (they must be organic) are apples, bananas, rye
bread with no sugar, plain yogurt, tuna, lamb, tomatoes,
carrots, peppers, raw honey, wild smoked salmon, and so on.
Tip #3: Drink distilled water throughout the day: Eight
glasses is recommended
Tip #4: Walk non-stop one hour each day: This doesn’t have
to be power walking; just walk at your own pace. Walking
outdoors is best.
Tip #5: Stop eating after 6:00 PM: This is hard for some
people, but do the best you can.
Tip #6: Do a candida cleanse: Candida is yeast overgrowth
in the colon that can cause all kinds of health problems.
Check online for Candida Cleanse or go to your local
health food store.
Tip #7: Do a colon cleanse: This cleanse cleans out the
digestive system, which is clogged and sluggish in many
overweight people. Once again, check online or go to your
local health food store.
