You cannot lose weight using Low Fat Diets. Low fat foods have been popular for more than 15 years, but yet our society is getting more overweight as each year passes. This fact alone should tell you that eating a purely low fat menu is not the answer to losing weight.
You won’t lose weight using a Low Calorie Dieting Plan either. In fact, eating low calories is the worst thing that you can do to your body, since that will only slow down your body’s fat burning engine and ruin all chances of losing weight (low calorie diets may allow a few pounds of weight loss for the first few days, but then after that all weight loss comes to a halt — known as a dieting plateau). You can never get slim by starving yourself.
You’ll probably find it extremely difficult to get slim using a Low Carb Dieting Plan. Low carb diets have recently become popular over the last couple years, but the problem with low carb menus is that they are too strict and TOO HARD TO FOLLOW for average people. Low carb menus tend to rob your body of too much energy (carbohydrates) and make it nearly impossible to remain on the program for very long. This is why so many dieters find it difficult to follow a strict low carbohydrate menu.
You have gotten overweight by eating the wrong foods, that much is a fact. And guess what? You can get SLIM by eating the RIGHT FOODS at the RIGHT INTERVALS each day.
It’s not really any more complicated than that, and the way to start losing weight has nothing to do with starving yourself or jogging.
A great way to find out in the comfort of your own home is to look on the net.
You’re here looking at this so now check out this page with great calculators to estimate whether you are actually overweight, obese, morbidly obese or beyond help (only kidding).
Did you know that some people can consume as much as 1200 calories per day in soda alone?
It’s true, a recent Dr Phil episode featured a woman who did just that and needless to say she is morbidly obese to the point where she is incapacitated.
Think of the calories you can loose simply by changing your habit from picking up a can of soda to picking up a bottle of water.
Try it people and get those healthy habits happening!
You know we all wake up every Monday morning and think to ourselves, “today I’ll start that diet”, yeah right!
Next thing you know we’re craving that slice of toast lathered with button and honey dripping off the sides and a large cup of joe to wash it all down.
It takes discipline and self worth to “Get Your Mind Right”. One way to do this is to Read! Take a visit to your local Borders Shop or even an online library if you don’t like getting outside because of your weight and get some books on the subject.
There are heaps of great books out there and soon I’ll be giving one away free so make sure you bookmark this site and come back often and pick up your free book.
Desperate situations call for desperate measures and that is why the Church has now begun it’s own program to assist Morbidly Obese People.
The church weight-loss program is part of a four-year study of the prevention and treatment of obesity in high-risk populations. Researchers have partnered with churches to test whether an Internet-based system can help overweight and obese African Americans in the community lose weight.
This is a great innovative program and I applaud them for their foresight. You can read the full article here.
An alarming article I’ve just read stating that obesity can begin at such a young age.
Honestly you have to shake your head in disbelief don’t you?
The children are overwhelmingly from poor families; 73 percent of them qualify for the Women, Infants and Children program - a supplemental food program for very poor families.
Children in the study were born in 1998 and 1999, and researchers are contacting the families periodically to assess a variety of measurements on health and social well-being.
Weights and heights were measured for almost 2,000 of the children when they were 3 years old, and researchers used guidelines for overweight and obesity set by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Overall, 17 percent of children were overweight and another 18 percent of them were obese. But among Hispanics, 20 percent of the children were overweight and 24 percent were obese.
Children of obese mothers were 76 percent more likely to be obese as well.
Sounds unrealistic doesn’t it?
