The US has seen an enormous
increase in the mumber of people considered obese by the medical community. In
fact many call it an obesity epidemic. To combat this we find all sorts of
pharamceutical companies selling the
quick fix pills, powders, and
lotions that do nothing to actually help people take the fat off and keep it
off.
Of course the same could be
said of the diet industry as well. There are so many different diets going
around now you could pick one a month and in a years time still have more to
choose from.
What is truely needed are
some sensible proven weight loss tips that people can implement no matter what
their present physical condition is. That said let's dive right in.
- Drink
more water. All too often Americans are borderline dehydrated and so their
bodies are working on the water starvation reflex and not flushing the
toxins and junk out.
- Eat
more often. I bet you thought I was going to say eat less. While it is
true that to lose weight you need to eat less calories than you
expend...you need to eat more often to get the metabolic furnace stoked up
and burning right. Get it out of starvation mode. So start the day off
with breakfast. Even an instant breakfast drink and a piece of fruit as we
head out the door in the morning.
- Move
more. Depending on your physical condition you need to be moving more. Use
the stairs rather than the elevator, park farther out from the office or
the store, go for a walk around the block, go dancing, play with your
kids. Make it fun. Running is not the only way to burn more calories.
- Finally,
determine your Why . Decide why you want to discard
fat. Make your reason big enough to motivate you through the slumps that
invariably happen.
Personally my reason was to
be able to live to see my great grandkids graduate college. My youngest kids
are 4 and 6 now. Besides I wanted to get out and play with them without being
out of breath all the time. weight loss,
