Health and Wellness – How To lose Weight

admin — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 01:01:14 +0000

Summer’s here! Grilling out. Beer by the lake. Outdoor concerts. Lots of opportunities for guys to take their shirts off and for girls to wear short-shorts. Yeah – how’s that gonna work for ya? You’ve probably got a dozen different ways of how to cook steak – but not one best way to lose abdominal weight. And you know what? It’s easier than you think.

The exercises to lose weight quickly are NOT those 90-day boot camp things advertised on TV. But they aren’t all those machines and gizmos either. And if you’re thinking “what about foods that can help me lose weight?” The truth is: EVERY food can help you lose weight – OR gain it.

So what are you supposed to do? How can you get in shape for summer?

1. Start now. Cutting weight is for boxers, wrestlers, and people kicked off The Ultimate Fighter.

2. Get in shape with knowledge. Look, just because some B list movie star can get a magazine cover shape with 3 trainers and 8 hours of exercise a day doesn’t mean you can. BUT you CAN get that shape a lot easier if you do it with knowledge (seriously. Don’t you think you’re smarter than those yahoos anyway?).

3. Approach it comprehensively. What you eat ties in with how you exercise ties in with how you work ties in with your emotions… So get an approach that recognizes this, and doesn’t try to cram all your fitness into 5 meals and 10 minutes of exercise a day.

Health and Wellness – How To lose Weight

admin — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 01:06:56 +0000

People spend so much time and effort to find supposedly the best fast weight loss diets, so they could lose weight successfully and live a better life. But every person that wants to, sees that diets are not very effective at all. For some reason we are lead to believe, that diets are the answer to weight loss, so no-one even bothers to question, if that is true or not.

A ordinary person has the idea that, if he or she wants to lose weight, then a calorie deficit is needed. Eating less food is the best way to create that needed deficit and that is somewhat true. But if we take a closer look, then we can cracks in this theory.

Most diets out there, that are supposedly the best because they make people lose weight fast, require people to cut their calorie drastically and to very low levels. Which can be as low as 800 or less calories for women and 1500 or less calories for men.

Now every time that calories are reduced drastically fast weight loss will occur, so in that sense diets do work very well. But as you know this fast weight loss, does not last very long. There are very good reasons, why it does not last.

If you starve yourself with diets to lose weight, then your body can not separate a diet from starvation. They are both the same, so the response is also the same. This means fat burning hormones and enzymes decrease, fat storing enzymes and hormones increase, the metabolism slows down, hunger increases etc. All of these things happen, because your body is trying to protect you from starving yourself to death.

Although diets do work temporarily, they can´t work successfully in the long-term. It is impossible to out smart the body, so there really is no best fast weight loss diets, that work. I believe that everyone, including you, wants permanent results and permanent results, can´t be achieved with temporary methods.

Health and Wellness – How To lose Weight

Why exactly do you want to lose weight? There are tons of motivations why people want to get rid of their excess pounds – what is your motivation? What is motivating you to seek out information to lose weight quickly? You are reading this for a reason that’s personal to you. You didn’t “happen” to stumble upon this article accidentally. So, let me try to help you.

Did you make a New Year’s Resolution to lose weight this year? Maybe you started off pumped up, focused, like “Yeah, THIS time I’m really gonna do it, finally.” You start envisioning what you’re going to look like after you’ve lost your weight, new smaller sized clothes you can buy, or just being able to fit into those clothes gathering dust in your closet. But….it didn’t last.

Maybe you’re one of us that realize that time is running out before the warm weather hits. “Crap! I can’t wear sweats to the beach! I love summer, but my body’s not ready – there’s no way I can fit into my summer clothes right now – help!” I need to lose weight and I need to lose it NOW!!

Do you have a wedding just around the corner and you want to lose those last 5, 10 or whatever pounds? Could be you have a social gathering, or some special function coming up that you want to look and feel your most desirable.

One of my reasons is that my 60-something metabolism is slowing down and what used to work to lose weight, not so much now. I also want to change my eating habits that turn into a ‘lifestyle’ and not a succession of yo-yo or fad diets to achieve my weight loss goals. And I definitely don’t want something “fussy” – who has time for that?

Do you need to find something to jump start your metabolism, naturally, too – no matter your age or gender?

I’ve only mentioned a few of the “vanity” (yes, I admit I’m vain – I want to look good and feel good) reasons for losing weight. Each person has their own, personal, motivating factors as to why they want to get rid of – dare I say it – that ugly, nasty, body fat that stares at us in the not-so-friendly mirror.

There are real, serious health reasons to want to lose weight, too. That would be a whole new article and then some. Even at the simplistic level, an extra 5 lbs puts an enormous amount of stress on your bones and joints:

"Being overweight, even just moderately, impacts weight bearing joints and can increase the pain of arthritis. Research has shown that during walking the hips, knees, and ankles bear three to five times a person’s total body weight. For every pound a person is overweight, three to five pounds of extra weight is added to each knee during walking. In contrast, a ten pound weight loss causes 30 to 50 pounds of extra stress to be relieved from the joints. " (http://arthritis.about.com/cs/diet/a/extrapounds.htm)

Don’t you too, want to lose weight fast – have more energy… better your health…learn how to burn fat better…and just feel better about yourself? After a lot of research, I’m getting ready and excited to start a journey that’s going to help me and a lot of you reach our weight loss goals – finally! Think you can do it?

Health and Wellness – Resolving Obesity Problem

admin — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 01:19:49 +0000

The Increasing rate of obesity is a becoming a worldwide problem. We are constantly surrounded by advertisements for fast food restaurants and to buy food that will eventually kill us. The sad fact is that the USA is the fattest country. Like you and most Americans we would like to be healthy, slim and live a long productive life.

There are a steps that you can do everyday to lose that unwanted weight that you don’t want or need. Here are 4 steps that you can do to rid that excess weight.

1. Eat a low calorie diet~stay away from fast food, i know its amazing and it taste so so good, but it is one of the biggest contributors to weight gain. Cutting out fast food or limiting how much of it you eat can make a drastic impact.

2. Eat Only 4 Times a day~ Limiting yourself to 3 meals and a snack will lower the amount of calories to the point where you are eating enough and not to much. Eat a medium size breakfast, it is the most important meal of the day it gives you the energy you need for the day. Eat a small lunch i.e. a salad and some fruit. About an hour or two before dinner have yourself a snack. An apple or banana would be perfect. Keep it healthy. Dinner eat food with carbohydrates like noodles.

3. Exercise~ keeping active will cause you to lose weight. Most of the time people eat then sit in front of the T.V. That will Definitely be a huge factor in weight gain, but you are trying to lose weight. So go for a walk around the block, take your dog or significant other or just a friend and walk around for a half hour or so. It will make a huge difference walking for a half hour than sitting watching T.V.

4. Keep Hydrated~ Drink less coffee, soda and energy drinks the sugar content in those will definitely cause weight gain, plus they dehydrate you. Water or Gatorade will help you lose the weight and keep you well hydrated which in turn it will keep you full of energy that you need to live an active life.

Losing weight doesn’t have to be a losing battle it can be done, very quickly to. There are many ways to get to the size that you want to be at. You just have to have the ambition to get there. There are many products and books out there that you can buy that will give you step by step instructions on how to lose weight quickly. All you have to say is that “I want to lose weight, and nothing is going to stop me!”

Health and Wellness – Resolving Obesity Problem

admin — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 01:15:40 +0000

According to a report published in UK, a third of adult and a fifth of children will be facing the obesity problem by the end of 2010. This will result in more people suffering from related health problem like cardiovascular disease or type 2 diabetes associated with obesity. The Government will have to spend a major portion of its budget on its health care programs. The Government will do its duty. However it is also the responsibility of individuals to fight with the problem at their own. What can they do?

People will have to change their life style to combat the obesity problem. They will have to make their daily routine disciplined. They will have to change their luxury habits. They will have to learn to walk on the foot. They will have to do daily physical exercises. They will have to give up junk food. They will have to make it their habit to eat fresh food cooked in their kitchen. They may have to use weight loss supplements.

Neither any weight loss supplement nor any single exercise is alone capable of fighting with the obesity problem. A concrete well planned weight loss program will have to be adopted. Firm determination will be required to follow this program. Sit ups and other stomach exercises may tone up the stomach muscles below the layer of fat. But you will have to diminish this extra body fat to get the slim and healthy body.

To achieve the aim of getting toned flat stomach in place of your beer belly you will have to change your habits of eating, drinking and training habits. Unfortunately there is no miracle weight loss supplement is available in the health stores that can do away with your extra weight, while you are lying on the bed. You, yourself will have to do something. You do not need to do too much hard work. You will have to make some simple alterations in your daily routine.

What are these alterations, you need to make in your life? These are combining cardio exercises like walking, swimming and running in your daily routine. You will have to do some abdominal exercises. You will have to take controlled but balanced diet. You may need some effective weight loss supplement to compensate for the energy you spent in your long workouts.

In fighting obesity problem, the most vital role is of that of food. Habit of excessive eating increases the body fat and thus weight. Our body requires much less than we eat. By eating too much, we overload our metabolism system unnecessarily. The excess energy is stored in our body as an extra fat. We have given up the habit of working hard and spending the energy intake of the body. We tend to use weight loss supplements to lose this extra fat.

Often you have to do a little to get rid of increasing weight if you start at the right time. You need to do some workouts in the gym and some simple exercises at your home. These simple exercises include walking, jogging, cycling and some sit ups.

Health and Wellness – Goal for Summer

admin — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 23:58:03 +0000

What’s your goal for the rest of the summer?

I know quite a few people who reached their low body fat goal – some even achieved their lifelong dream of seeing six pack abs…

Now they want to gain some muscle, but they’re scared of gaining back the fat along with the muscle (which is very common… so it’s not an unwarranted fear)

If you want to:

* Gain muscle WITHOUT getting fat (NO "bulking up" – just lean gains)
* Lose fat without losing muscle (FORGET the "lean but bean pole" look)
* Or even gain muscle and lose fat at the same time (The "holy grail" of all fitness goals!)

Health and Wellness – Weird Fitness Contest Results

admin — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 23:39:13 +0000

I just heard about some really ‘weird’ results that occurred during a recent body transformation contest…

Get this…

Some of the contestants actually lost fat while building muscle at the SAME TIME!

In fact, one of the winners of this contest actually GAINED weight!

If you know anything about before and after fitness contests or the reality TV shows like the biggest loser, then you know that those types of results are unheard of.

Usually the goal is to cut as many pounds on the scale as humanly possible, right?

But what those shows never talk about is "body composition" and the possibility of "body RE-composition", or gaining lean body mass as you burn the fat.

The thing is, most people, even a lot of veteran trainers, believe that it’s impossible to gain muscle and lose fat at the same time.

You might have heard all the debates and arguments about this subject yourself on forums and blogs, etc. etc.

Even though the experts disagree, if there’s any consensus at all, it’s that simultaneously gaining muscle while losing fat is the most difficult fitness goal to achieve…

That’s why people call it the "holy grail"; because it’s so elusive.

BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE: IT IS POSSIBLE. ("difficult" and "impossible" are not the same thing)

And that’s also why I’m sending you this message: I wanted to give you an early ‘heads up’ on this:

"THE HOLY GRAIL BODY TRANSFORMATION SYSTEM:
How to gain muscle and lose fat at the same time"

It’s a new program that actually teaches specific nutrition and training techniques for gaining muscle and losing fat at the same time.

It explains these methods in a simple and practical manner, but also gives the scientific proof and reasons why they work (this is backed-up with peer-reviewed studies.)

This "holy grail" system was created by trainer / natural bodybuilder Tom Venuto, who is best known for his e-book, Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle (BFFM) which has become a sort of "fat loss bible" to thousands of people all over the world http://sedogs11.burnthefat.hop.clickbank.net

But BFFM was designed specifically for fat loss. what if you want to lose fat AND gain muscle but you could never achieve it before (or you just didn’t believe it was possible, so you didn’t try)?

That’s precisely why Tom created this new program.

It’s the first course of it’s kind that builds on the basic fat burning techniques and teaches a new system for gaining muscle and burning fat simultaneously, and explains the process scientifically.

If you’re skeptical, I don’t blame you.

But when you see BOTH real-world case studies AND you see the scientific proof, it makes you want to stop and take a look at this.

Right now the 1st edition of Tom’s HOLY GRAIL ebook is available for a short time in limited release at a special introductory price Click here:

At some point in the very near future Tom is going to take the holy grail course off the market for a while, to collect feedback and case studies to incorporate into the 2nd edition.

Then Tom will officially re-release the Holy grail ebook separately later this year and sell it at full price.

If you’d like to be in this first wave of people to try this new combined muscle-building and fat burning technology and get it at a bargain price, here is the ONLY way to order at the moment:

Health and Wellness – Weight Loss

admin — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 00:21:11 +0000

Quick weight loss is not impossible but if you are thinking that it happens instantly without any effort on your part, you are seriously misled or living in delusion. If you are willing to observe and stick with a proper plan, together with steps and quick weight loss tips I will reveal in this article, you will find yourself ready for some fast weight loss. Are you ready to lose weight starting from today?

Weight loss and diet programs come and go. Some are just the fad of today, and people chase after them without fully understanding if they would work for them. Of course, there are some long-standing ones which do work such as the Atkins and Cambridge Diets. However, over-relying on a special diet program is not for everyone due to our different genetic make-up. There could be adverse side-effects that could surface and result in long-term health problems.

Weight loss is a lifestyle than a physical act. Let’s take a closer look at why most people fail in their weight loss attempts. Survey results showed that the majority failed due to the lack of proper preparation. To be more specific, their will and motivation to lose weight are not strong enough and they give up easily each time a quick weight loss tips does not work for them. Many others give in fast to temptations of personal indulgence like food, snacks and the like. Still there are some who simple find it too tough to work out physically. Unless you take your weight loss seriously, there is a high chance that you will throw in the towel after a while.

Assuming you are serious about losing weight, you then qualify as a good candidate to apply those quick weight loss tips shared here. Losing weight successfully requires your mindset to be fixated on your quick weight loss plan and goal, no matter which route you have chosen. Plans do work but only if we work on them. Ask yourself what are the reasons for you wanting to lose weight. Make sure they are motivating enough. Think of the worst case scenario should you fail; the ugly stares at your fat tummy, not feeling confident when approaching the girl/guy you wish to date? The purpose of this whole exercise is to condition your thinking. Ok, once you have found the strong reasons to lose weight, you are one step ahead of many others.

Now, we will look at 3 practical quick weight loss tips:

1. Be Prepared to Put in Effort

Your fat does not melt while you are sleeping or dreaming about it. You need to do something about it. We live in a world where everything seems to be ideal in the media. The movies we watch feature only beautiful ladies with excellent figures, handsome looking men with nice abs, and so on. TV commercials flash nice advertisements with a famous celebrity endorsing some slimming pills that touts itself as the “Diet Pill of the Century” and that’s how they got their svelte figures. Frankly, these are gimmicks playing on your fears and anxiety. The celebrities or models you see already have great figures before they shoot the advertisements. Everyone wants a wonder pill that helps them to lose weight instantly without any effort. That is why people would not hesitate to try these diet pills and supplements. Unfortunately, most don’t work.

2. Be Focused in Your Weight Loss Goal

quick weight loss can be achieved if you can stick with your exercise regime and dietary plans. It may take some time but it will happen. Stay focused on your goal, and keep reminding yourself on the motivating factors of your weight loss when you are starting to feel disappointed. It is important to share your goal with close friends and family members or even join a support group. Their constant encouragement would spur you on to fulfill your weight loss dream. No man is an island. Remember to put this quick weight loss tip into practice.

3. Have Fun in Your Weight Loss Exercises

Many folks fail to realize that weight loss can be an enjoyable experience. It requires deliberate but simple effort to inject fun. People have shared that they hated weight loss because they have to sacrifice their time with their TVs, their computer games, and give up on their favorite foods, and so on. Weight loss seems to have a negative connotation. If you are burning your calories, why not engage in games that you love? Like playing a game of tennis, or take a plunge in the pool and have a relaxing swim? For people who don’t like physical sports, they can go for brisk walking. Take a nice stroll with your loved ones. You wouldn’t even realize that you are exercising.

Health and Wellness – Interval Training

admin — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 00:46:20 +0000

Recently I wrote about Interval training in one of my blogs as a way to reduce weight, here is an article from my friend Tom Venuto which covers more details.

Regards

David Ogden

An Insanely Effective Type of Interval Training
By Tom Venuto
www.BurnTheFat.com

High intensity interval training can be done in a variety of different ways. Here’s a wickedly-effective type of interval training: it requires no machines or fancy equipment, you can do it outside in the sunshine and fresh air, it develops killer conditioning, carves out legs like a sprinter, and burns calories at an accelerated rate…

In other articles about running/aerobics and high intensity interval training, as well as in my Fat loss books, I’ve written about how you can integrate both traditional steady state cardio as well as high intensity interval training into your training program for optimal body composition improvement, health and increased fitness – you don’t have to choose one form of cardio or the other. In fact, settling into dogmatic views about cardio will only limit you.

Traditional steady state cardio is pretty much self-explanatory and intuitive. But many people are still confused about the best way to do interval training.

An Insanely Effective Way To Do Interval Cardio

I’m not sure if there is a single best way to do intervals because there are so many choices and everyone is different in their goals, interests and personal preferences, so “best” is a relative thing. But let me give you one of my personal favorites that is breathtakingly effective:

Stair sprinting!

Your typical interval workout in the gym might be on a stationary cycle, treadmill or stairclimber with short 30-60 second bursts of high speed and/or resistance, followed by a 60-120 second period of low intensity recovery. That’s usually a 1:1 or 1:2 work to recovery interval. You then rinse and repeat for the desired number of intervals, usually between 6 and 12.

I sometimes have access to a great set of university stadium steps with a straight shot right up – 52 steps.

Sprinting it takes about 10 seconds or so, walking down about 30 seconds. Those are short intervals with a 1:3 work to recovery interval ratio. That wasn’t by design, it just happens to be how long it takes to run up and walk down that particular flight of stairs, but co-incidentally, that fits within common recommendations for short sprint-style intervals.

I make sure I’m warmed up first, I usually start with a couple flights up at a slow jog then a run, before sprinting, usually 10-12 rounds.

Even if you jog/run instead of sprint, (or pause briefly at the bottom of the stairs), when you do the math, you can figure that this usually doesn’t take more than 10-12 minutes.

Why do I like stadium step sprinting?

1. Stair sprinting is a time saver. Like other forms of interval training, it’s entirely possible to get as much if not more cardiovascular conditioning in 10-15 minutes than you’d get from a much longer session of slower cardio (depending on the intensity and effort levels).

2. Stair sprinting is engaging. Many people get bored doing long slow to medium intensity cardio sessions. This is a great way to break up the monotony of traditional cardio workouts. Even though it’s tough, it’s actually kind of fun.

3. Stair sprinting is incredible for leg development. As a bodybuilder, I like to look at all types of training not only in terms of conditioning, fat loss and health, but also whether they will add or detract from the physique. I find that brief but intense stair workouts are amazing for leg development – quads, hamstrings, glutes and even your calves. In fact, I started training on the stairs more than 20 years ago, and I always considered it as much if not more of a leg workout than anything else.

4. Stair sprinting can be done outside. If you have access to stadium steps, as opposed to just a stairwell, you can enjoy the sun and fresh air.

How to integrate stair running into your training program

If you’re an overachiever type, you might be tempted to do these sprint workouts in addition to your current strength training and cardio workload.

However, keep in mind that intensity and duration are inversely proportional. When you do high intensity cardio or all out sprints, you are condensing more work into less time. That means the best part is, you can do a brief but intense stair workout instead of one of your long cardio sessions rather than in addition to them.

Recommendation: Start with one session per week, then progress to two if you choose. You can do traditional cardio the other days of the week if you want or need additional calorie-burning. Lower intensity cardio in between weight training and interval workouts can also serve as active recovery.

Not everyone has access to a full flight of stadium steps, as you might find at a local University. Running flights of stairs in a high rise is another effective and no-cost way to train on stairs. Although you can’t truly sprint with twists and turns on each floor, you can jog/run.

No stairs? Hills will get the job done too and they may provide you with more flexibility in the length/duration of your intervals. I’ve found some big hills at just the right grade of incline that I can do 30-45 second runs up, with about 90-120 seconds walk down. Grassy hills are nice, when available, as they spare you some of the impact from running on the concrete.

Sprinting up stairs is not for everyone. If you have a history of health problems or orthopedic issues, check with your doctor before doing any kind of high intensity training and of course, don’t train through the pain of injury. If you are significantly overweight, it may be a challenge just to walk up stairs, let alone run up, not to mention it might create undue stress on your joints. But as you get lighter and fitter, it’s a challenge you might slowly work toward.

Be sure to build up gradually and adjust the workout based on your current health and fitness level. You could start with as few as 4-6 rounds and build up from there. You can also start with jogging up the stairs, then progress to running, then move to sprints. Be sure you are fully prepared and warmed up before attempting all out sprints as sprinting when unprepared is a notorious source of hamstring pulls.

Some coaches believe that running uphill is safer than sprinting flat surfaces. Writing for Staley Training.com, Coach Steven Morris says, “Another great reason to hill sprint: even an athlete with horrendous running form will be safe running hills. This is simply because the hill does NOT allow the athlete to over-stride nor does it allow them to reach top speed, both major factors in hamstring injuries.”

Stair sprinting is a perfect complement to the cardio portion in my Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle program. If you’re healthy and already fit, try this advanced interval workout and I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised with the results!

Train hard and expect success!

Health and Wellness – Spice up your diet

admin — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 00:27:35 +0000

Living in Asia I know that adding more spices to your meals can actually help you slim down?

Eating chillies with your meal can actually help your body keep that cholesterol at bay and boost your body’s metabolic rate. This is because chillies such as jalapeño, Asian, habaneras, and cayenne contain capsaicin. This compound creates that spicy and pungent taste in chillies and is responsible for that burning sensation you feel in your tongue. Capsaicin can be found concentrated in the white ribs where the chilli seeds are attached inside the chilli. This is why removing the chilli seeds can help ease the spice. As a rule, the hotter the chilli is, the more the capsaicin it contains.

Studies have found capsaicin effective in stimulating faster metabolism. Consuming more spices or more capsaicin increases the release of stress hormones like adrenaline. This, in turn, triggers a thermodynamic burn in our body that can last up to three to five hours after eating, thus helping our body burn additional calories. This thermodynamic burn speeds up the metabolism by dissolving calories and preventing new fat from forming.

Sprinkling more spices or more capsaicin in your diet can boost your body’s ability to process cholesterol and fats. Capsaicin allows your body to excrete more cholesterol and helps in increasing the production of fat-dissolving enzymes in your liver. As a result, the insoluble fat triglyceride, which can also accumulate in dangerous levels in your blood vessels, is secreted effectively by the liver.

Spicy food can also keep eager eaters from over-indulging. Isn’t it more difficult to keep on eating when you feel that hot, tingling sensation in your mouth?

And while capsaicin is barely soluble in water, we all know that the knee-jerk reaction to a spice bite in your tongue is to drink water. An increased water consumption aids in cleansing our body of toxins, including that unwanted fat.

So, start firing up that meal with a dose of chilli powder. Sauté vegetables in hot salsa, instead of butter, and add chopped mild chilli peppers into that salad. Compared to exercise and dieting – the tried and tested methods of weight reduction – indulging on that hot meal is definitely more enjoyable.

Health and Wellness – weight loss goals

admin — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 23:39:44 +0000

Are you ashamed of your weight? Do you have a goal that you want to achieve through weight loss? I’d say so, it’s been pushed into our brains many times over and over again that "weight loss" is what we want to accomplish. There are weight loss guides, weight loss supplements, and many other things that push weight loss. Many people even set their goals to be at a certain weight. Additionally, the medical community has developed an deal weight chart, which can further add to the confusion about weight loss.

Now, let me ask you a question. Is your goal really weight loss? Unless you are trying to make a weight class for wrestling or some other sport with weight classes, you may think that your goal is weight loss, but it really isn’t. You are trying to lose that blubbery stuff attached to your body called FAT. Correct?

So then, why do we measure our progress by how much we weigh? Why do we step on the bathroom scale and hope that those numbers will be lower than before? You see, our weight is affected by more than just how much fat is on our body. Some other factors include water, muscle, glycogen, and obviously if we have eaten anything earlier or used the bathroom lately.

Our water weight fluctuates constantly. For instance, when we exhale water vapour comes out. When we sweat, we are sweating out water. There are also many more factors that can affect the amount of water in our body. Water is what usually causes those random gains or losses of a pound or two in weight that can make you happy or sad. It is almost physiologically impossible to lose a pound of fat in one day.

admin — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 00:15:25 +0000

Most diet and weight loss programs have a depressingly high failure rate, with people either never reaching their weight goals or reaching them and regaining all the weight they lost (and sometimes more) in about one year.

Getting the weight off fast is so desirable that many of us are willing to sacrifice health and ignore common sense in the hope that some new weight loss program or scheme will work. This pipe dream can unfortunately outweigh the negative consequences. So let’s examine the downside of dieting.

What Is An Unhealthy Weight Loss Program?

Any weight loss program that is not nutritionally sound;
One that works against what the body naturally needs like vitamins, minerals, and a minimum number of calories a day;
One that requires you to go without eating (for example, fasting or meal replacement drinks);
One that puts your body into an unnatural state, such as starvation or ketosis.

Your body can only lose a few pounds a week on a consistent basis. If you lose more than that initially, it’s likely just water loss. So any weight loss program that promises you will lose five pounds a week, or 25 pounds in 3 weeks, is guaranteeing you will be losing water and muscle mass not fat.

Almost every popular weight loss program out there falls into one of the following diet categories: low calorie diets, meal replacement drinks, packaged foods, unbalanced nutrients, and ketosis diets. Let’s see how they stack up.

LOW CALORIE DIETS

Whenever you drastically reduce your calories, the body enters an unnatural state and its defenses kick in. So when calories drop below, say, 1000 calories a day, your metabolism will shut down in an effort to conserve energy. And weight loss with a sluggish metabolism is very difficult.

Your body will start using muscle tissue to provide energy, which again leads to a decrease in the metabolism. Taken to an extreme, the body will break down its vital parts (such as the heart muscle) trying to meet its energy needs.

In addition to these drawbacks, trying to maintain the weight loss over time is nearly impossible because your body is now used to making do with very few calories. Going back to “normal” eating causes the weight to pile back on.

For this reason, low cal weight loss programs rarely work over the long haul.

MEAL REPLACEMENT DRINKS

One of the most unnatural things for your body is to go without solid food, which is what meal replacement plans ask it to do. Some people think that dieting will be easier if they aren’t confronted with daily food choices and the pounds will just fall off. This may be true while they are on the liquid diet. But what about afterwards?

Where will the good eating habits come from after you’ve lost the weight? This is something that takes time, practice and knowledge. Dieters need to establish a healthy attitude towards a life-long eating plan. And no “fad” weight loss program or liquid lunch can help you with that.

Getting hooked on meal replacements can become a destructive way to view food. It often leads dieters to fear food or binge to “feed” their cravings after a long period of deprivation. And that’s just the psychological side of the equation.

The lack of fiber in such weight loss programs can be a threat to good physical health. And when the body is denied enough solid food, the intestines go into overdrive absorbing calories and nutrients. This helps you during the diet period, but later it makes it much easier to regain the weight.

Another yo-yo weight loss program that hurts you in the end.

UNBALANCED NUTRIENT PLAN

Be cautious about any weight loss program that has strict rules about good foods and bad foods. Sure, high fat and high sugar foods might be considered bad for the waistline, but moderation not abstinence is key to success.

Why? Because eating the same foods every day (say, grapefruit or high protein meals) is going to result in two things: nutritional imbalance and boredom.

All foods are made up of the same nutrients in different amounts: fat, carbohydrates, and protein. It is the right proportion of these nutrients that will bring about weight loss – not the avoidance of “bad” foods and the consumption of only “good” or magical foods.

In the world of dieting, no one food or nutrient group is magical. Variety and moderation are the keys to a healthy diet and a successful weight loss program.

PACKAGED FOODS To maintain your ideal body weight, you have to learn how to make proper food choices. By following a packaged food weight loss program you are postponing the inevitable, and spending plenty of $$$ in the process.

Another problem with this kind of weight loss program is that the foods provided are not always healthy. Read the package label and you will see chemicals, preservatives, sodium, sugar and saturated fats. And when all you can eat is packaged food, how do you plan meals with other people? Going out to restaurants and parties and enjoying family meals becomes a big hassle.

Your weight loss program then becomes a burden, not only to you, but to those around you.

KETOSIS DIETS

Ketosis has been defined as:

“An abnormal condition marked by excessive production of ketone bodies. Often caused by high-protein, low-carbohydrate diets such as the Atkins diet.”

Atkins and certain other weight loss programs are based on the principle of restricting carbohydrates to the point that the body enters into ketosis. On the surface, a ketogenic diet seems to work for two reasons: First, you’ll lose large amounts of weight, which is very pleasing to the dieter. Secondly, you don’t experience hunger.

But there are serious drawbacks. Your weight goes down due to water loss (which occurs when you restrict carbohydrates) and a loss of lean muscle tissue. This is NOT true, lasting weight loss.

The loss of appetite comes from having ketones building up in the body, which can harm your health. Side effects of a ketosis weight loss program can include fatigue, kidney stones, gout, and muscle loss. The longer you follow such a diet, the greater the risk to your health.

Clearly not a wise choice of weight loss program, not for the short term or the long.

WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM QUESTIONNAIRE

There are always new weight loss programs coming onto the market and going in and out of style. To evaluate if a weight loss program is healthy and sensible for you, ask yourself the following questions:

Is the plan nutritionally sound?
Will it help improve my weight, metabolism, cholesterol level, blood pressure, energy level, and general health?
Will I be eating real food and not have to buy special formulas, drinks, etc?
Will I be eating a wide variety of foods rather than just a few “diet” foods?
Am I allowed to have some treats and eat my favorite foods?
Can I eat out in restaurants, have a glass of wine with dinner, or some dessert?
Can I follow this weight loss program without it interfering with my lifestyle?
Can I lose weight without feeling hungry?
Will l develop eating habits for life-long weight control with this weight loss program?
Is this the last diet I will ever need to finally reach and maintain my ideal weight?

This will help you to feel a lot less hungry throughout the day.

Conclusion

There are a lot of options available in the market that focus on weight loss ideas. However, the best weight loss tips always take into consideration a smart selection of food. This is why when you watch someone who is trying to lose weight not have any effective outcomes happening, you can rest assured that it is because the person’s calorie intake is higher than what they are burning.

Health and Wellness – Weight Loss and Diabetes

admin — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 23:48:36 +0000

If you are overweight and have diabetes, losing weight can be beneficial. First, as you lose weight and body weight moves closer to ideal for height, blood sugar is often better controlled. Blood pressure and blood cholesterol levels improve as well with a healthy body weight.

Weight loss also offers the ability to move better, breathe better and a more normal resting heart rate. This can in turn help to make exercise easier.

Talk with your doctor about a healthy body weight and how many calories he or she recommends. A steady, healthy rate for weight loss is one to two pounds per week. One pound equates to 3500 calories, if your goal is to lose one pound per week 3500 divided by 7 days per week = 500 calories per day. You will want to reduce calories by 500 per day so that you can lose one pound per week.

Also, talk to your doctor about exercise. Exercise can help with weight loss as well as improve blood sugar, blood pressure and blood cholesterol.

Health and Wellness – Weight Loss Goals

admin — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 00:20:35 +0000

One of the first things that you’ll do when you decide to lose weight is to set a goal weight. For most, that goal will be their ‘ideal weight’, but for many, that ‘ideal weight’ may be exactly the wrong weight for them to be aiming for.

Years of dieting or being overweight have the physiological effect of moving the body’s concept of the ‘ideal weight’ from what is truly considered ideal. The ‘set point’ is the weight at which your body naturally feels most comfortable. If you’ve been overweight for a very long time, or if you’ve consistently ‘yo-yoed’, your body may respond to your initial weight loss by lowering its metabolism because it believes that you are starving to death. This slowing leads to discouraging plateaus that often knock people off their diets entirely, and lead to regaining all or part of the lost weight.

Instead of aiming for an ‘ideal weight’ that calls for you to lose weight steadily for months or even years, many experts recommend aiming for shorter-term attainable goals. Since the bulk of diet research shows that most dieters lose weight steadily for about 12 weeks, then hit a plateau, that’s the number that they suggest you aim for. The strategy that many have found works best for them is one of alternating periods of weight loss and maintenance, each lasting 8-12 weeks.

Choose a realistic amount of weight that you can lose in 8-12 weeks. Figuring that the most reasonable and healthiest weight loss rate is 1-2 pounds per week, 30 pounds in three months is not unreasonable. Diet until you reach that goal, or for 12 weeks, whichever comes first, and then switch to a maintenance diet.

Why switch to a maintenance diet at that point? In part, you’re giving yourself a ‘breather’, a break from more restrictive eating. The other part, though, is that you’re re-educating your body and letting it establish a new ‘set point’. Once you’ve maintained your new weight for 8-12 weeks, set another weight loss goal, and move back into weight loss mode. By giving your body a break from ‘starvation’, you’ll have overcome its resistance to losing more weight, and be back to dieting for ‘the first two weeks’ – the weeks that most people lose weight more rapidly.

You’ll also be giving yourself a chance to ‘practice’ maintaining your new, healthier weight. Researchers have found that more than half of the dieters who take off significant amounts of weight do not maintain that weight loss once they go ‘off’ their diet. By practicing weight maintenance in stages, you’ll be proving to yourself that you CAN do it, and removing a powerful negative psychological block.

This will work with any long-term weight loss diet, no matter the focus. You’ll find it much easier to do if you choose a diet that has concrete ‘phases’, like the South Beach or the Atkins, since the weight loss and maintenance phases are clearly laid out for you to follow. Regardless of the diet you choose, though, by alternating between weight loss phases and maintenance phases, you’ll teach yourself and your body how to maintain a healthy weight.

Health and Wellness – Weight Loss Tips

How to keep your weight-loss! It is possible to lose weight and not gain it back. There is nothing more discouraging than to lose weight and gain it back.

Have you have experienced the joy of victory, when you have lost weight?

Have you experienced the agony of gaining back your weight loss?

Do you want to lose weight and not gain it back?

After you have reached your ideal weight, you begin to relax and enjoy your new body image. The need to punish and deprive you for eating wrong and not exercising enough is no longer necessary. You began to reward yourself for your weight loss and new body image. You enjoy the way you look in your clothes. You enjoy your greater flexibility. The acknowledgment of your weight loss by your friends and family thrills you. You have greater passion for living. You have more confidence in your relationships. You like what you see in the mirror.

Logically, these benefits from losing weight should be rewarding enough to maintain permanent weight loss. Logically and consciously, the rewards for attaining your ideal weight are the benefits from being thin.

Why aren’t the benefits from weight loss strong enough to maintain weight loss? Unconsciously, the rewards for attaining your ideal weight are eating as in the past and and insufficient exercise.

Successful weight loss and programs to lose weight fail, because people’s motivation and thinking prevent successful maintenance of weight loss. In order to maintain permanent weight loss, you must change your thinking.

Unconsciously, for many people food is a reward and functions as a tranquilizer. When food functions as a reward or tranquilizer, successful maintenance of weight loss is impossible. From this perspective, losing weight is associated with punishment and grounding, because of past over-eating and not exercising. No one likes to be punished and deprived. No one likes to be punished and deprived permanently.

If losing weight is motivated and associated with punishing and depriving you, you are doomed to fail. Although you enjoy your weight loss and want to maintain your weight loss, unconsciously your mind begins to sabotage you.

Why? For your unconscious mind, the reward for successful weight loss is over-eating again and insufficient exercising.

Successful maintenance of weight loss only is possible when obesity, overeating and failure to exercise are perceived as punishments, while weight loss, eating right and exercising are thought of as rewards.

You’re thinking and motivation for losing and maintaining weight loss must change. Eating wrong and living without sufficient exercise can no longer be the reward. Thinness, eating right, and exercising must become rewards rather than punishments.

Before you begin any change in your eating patterns, change your thinking and maintain healthy thinking through out the weight loss period and after you have lost your excess weight.

First, assess why past diets have failed. “Yo-yo dieting” can have long-lasting, negative effects on your metabolism. If you drastically reduce calories, you’re also likely to deprive yourself of essential nutrients. Nutritionists recommend that sedentary women usually need at least 1200-1300 calories a day, but that’s if you’re carefully monitoring nutrient intake.

You need to lose weight slowly. Instead of a crash dieting, reduce your intake by 100-200 calories and eat more filling, high-fiber foods to combat hunger.

Small changes are most likely to be long-lasting. Trading mayo for mustard, or a side of fries for a side of veggies makes a big difference in the long run.

Don’t try to make unrealistic, drastic changes. If you absolutely love a certain food, swearing to never eat it again may lead to craving and binges.

Brush off mistakes. They are unavoidable. Demanding perfection is setting yourself up to fall short.

Target mindless eating. Are there any high-calorie foods that you consume that you wouldn’t miss? Food shopping once a week and planning your meals out can be a good way to avoid this. Now its easier than ever with online grocery services that deliver to your doorstep.

Treat your body well by appreciating the taste and texture of food and the way your body feels after exercise.

Finally, don’t let yourself miss out on the important things by spending all your time thinking about your weight. Your diet should be one aspect of your life, and it should never require you to turn down a social opportunity, distract you from school or diminish your self-esteem. If it does, those body image issues need to be dealt with before going on any type of diet.

Health and Wellness – Weight Loss

It seems that you can’t open a newspaper or magazine without seeing an article about one medical study or other that warns about all of the potentially harmful consequences associated with being overweight. Overweight people do have higher risks of heart disease, hypertension, stroke, and diabetes. If you ask me, those are some pretty compelling reasons to make a commitment to shed some pounds now. But perhaps you’re a bit cynical about the whole dieting process because of failed attempts in the past. That’s certainly understandable, and I can empathize with you . However, you’re health is too important to just give up completely. Instead, maybe it’s time you took a look at some weight loss products that can help you slim down.

First of all, I want to tell you that there are no magic weight loss products out there. The foundation of any effective diet is a combination of healthy eating habits and exercise. If you do just one or the other, you’re not likely going to see any noticeable long-term results. That being said, using weight loss products in addition to dieting and exercise could be the formula that finally makes the difference for you. There are numerous kinds of weight loss products available on the market today, and they all purport to have different effects on your body. So a successful diet depends in large part on which particular weight loss product you decide to use.

It is important to know your ideal body weight. What is an ideal body weight?

When you look at your height and your build, the number of pounds that are healthy for you is probably a higher number than you are shooting for if you are dieting. I know that the weight I seem to think is what I want is indeed lower than what my doctor is telling me. There is a difference between how you think you want to look in clothing and what is healthy for the maintenance of good health and longevity.

When you ideal body weight and your vision of your body don’t match, you have to think about why that is. I don’t mean when you think you want to be a few pounds lower than your ideal body weight, I mean when you are trying to be thirty or more pounds lower. This is not healthy for you, and you have to come to grips with the body you have. If you don’t, you may end up with an eating disorder. You may want to take some time to talk to your doctor or a nutritionist to see what is going on with you, and what you can do to be healthier rather than thinner.

Remember that you ideal body weight has more to do with health then anything else. This means that the weight that is ideal for you is one that is good for your heart and your long term health. This has nothing to do with how you will look in a swimming suit, but the closer you are to this ideal body weight you are, the better you are going to look. You may not think it’s perfect, but it is important to know that your ideal weight will help ensure you are around to watch your children and your grandchildren grow up.

Health and Wellness – Meal Replacement tips

admin — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 00:08:00 +0000

Think about the number one reasons why people are overweight nowadays. Overweight people fall into one of two different categories. Either they have an unhealthy lifestyle – working long hours, eating out all the time, not getting enough exercise – or they simply eat too much, often in a compulsive way. This type of eating – eating when one isn’t hungry, for example, or eating for emotional reasons rather than physical hunger – is really a type of addiction. It should be understood as an addiction, and it often is. For example, the group Overeaters Anonymous functions on many of the same principles as AA or other twelve step programs. Excessive eating is treated like an addiction because that’s exactly what it is.

But if that’s the case, it’s easy to see why this addiction might be harder to treat than some others. The way to deal with an addiction is to stay away from the behavior that’s out of control – alcoholics can’t touch alcohol, for example. The idea is to not do it at all until the addiction becomes a thing of the past – in fact, for many addicts, they can never indulge in their addictive behavior again, not even once.

With food addiction, though, that’s obviously impossible. People have to eat – there’s no getting away from it. That’s why food addiction, though it’s an addiction to a non-lethal substance, may be the hardest of all to deal with. And that’s also why companies such as TriVita, who produce and market meal replacements for people to use while dieting to lose weight, actually do succeed in helping some people.

The idea behind meal replacements is that you don’t really eat at all for a good part of the day – instead, you have a special shake or other product that gives you all the nutrients you need, and stops you from feeling hungry. This works in two ways: first, it controls the calories you take in, because the meal replacements are quite low calorie. Second, it breaks the cycle of addictive behavior because you’re not really eating. You can get away from the behavior much as an alcoholic can (and must) get away from alcohol, and that gives you a better chance of breaking the addictive process.

Though most meal replacement plans do recommend that you eat one ‘normal’ meal per day, some people who are serious about losing weight don’t do even that. That’s precisely how Oprah Winfrey once lost a lot of weight – about fifty pounds. She said that she found it easier not to eat at all (subsisting on meal replacement shakes and bars) than to control her eating. When you know that you won’t be eating ‘real food’ at all for a while, it takes the guesswork out of it. Everything becomes very straightforward, and it’s a fact that many people have lost weight using this method of weight loss.

There are drawbacks, though. For one thing, while a weight loss program is supposed to teach you about how to eat for the rest of your life – to establish healthy habits, in other words – using meal replacements clearly doesn’t do so. Once you go back to eating real food, you might find that your problems with controlling your food intake are still there. Though you will have lost weight, you are more likely to gain it back if you haven’t learned healthy eating habits.

Also, there’s a danger that some people will keep on using the meal replacements for extended periods of time, just because it’s easier and more convenient. Though they re designed to give you a minimum level of calories and nutrition, meal replacement bars cannot substitute for real food over an extended period.

However, if you know or suspect that your problem with food resembles an addiction or compulsion, it may be worth your while to think about using meal replacements for a while in order to lose some weight. Try to make the time you spend using them as productive as possible, though. Really come to terms with your past behavior, and learn what it feels like to be full but not stuffed. Figuring out the answer to these and other aspects of healthy eating will help make your weight loss permanent.

Well, if the above is NOT the case, then you can be sure of this… you are overlooking at least one of the basic, personal weight loss success tips we are discussing here today. In other words, when your body fat percentage remains unchanged, regardless of what you THINK you are doing about it… your result tells you surely that at least one crucial weight loss concept is getting lost. In this case, the two concepts to double check on are aerobic threshold and energy balance (as these two, respectively, deal with physical action and eating style).

When you combine smart dieting choices (that is, foods of low saturated fat content) with threshold engaging aerobic action, you almost always become leaner. You can do more, and you can do better.

Become familiar with your aerobic workout threshold, and also with your daily calorie count. To cause a monumental body fat reduction explosion for yourself, virtually all you need do is adopt the specialized approaches in your personal weight loss success tips.

Health and Wellness – Eat Smaller Portions

Health and Wellness – Getting Your Body Ready For The Beach

admin — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 23:54:06 +0000

Everyone has his or her idea of what their dream body should look like. What if I told you that you needed to mentally stretch before you can physically shrink. Stretch? But why stretch? Let me explain.

Weight loss is extremely simple. All you need to do is to consume less calories than you burn. With a caloric deficit, as surely as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, you will lose weight. Its not rocket science. But whoever has said that weight loss is easy, probably never really undertook a serious weight loss effort. Weight loss is simple but its not easy. Weight loss is going to be difficult.

All that you have been doing to date has resulted in the body that you have. The food that you have been eating and the exercise that you have not been doing have all contributed. You are what you eat!. But remember that your weight did not just happen to you! Your current weight is the sum result of all your choices. Nobody forced any food into your mouth at gun point. You ate the food by choice. No one stopped you from exercising. You chose not to exercise by choice. Remember that when it comes to weight loss, everything counts! Everything that you do is either adding to your weight or reducing it. You are probably in your comfort zone.

Most people trying to lose weight are in a comfort zone. They don’t want to do anything uncomfortable. They want to lose weight while going on with their lives the way it is. They want to lose weight while spending time in front of the TV. They want to lose weight while wanting to be able to overindulge in excess calories. They want their body to change but they don’t want to change!

Losing weight is going to require you to stretch out of this comfort zone. You are going to need to reorganize your schedule to include exercise as a high priority. You may have to sacrifice TV time or wake up an hour earlier in the morning. You may even have to sacrifice some family time! You will need to be wiser in food choices. Everything that you put into your mouth is going to help or hurt your weight loss efforts. You are going to have to cultivate discipline. Without discipline, you are never going to be able to be consistent with your weight loss efforts.

Cultivating all these weight loss habits is going to require effort. Its going to push you out of your comfort zone. Its going to make you uncomfortable. You are going to be forced to mentally stretch before you physically shrink. Your mind is going to have to stretch! Weight loss only occurs outside the comfort zone. Weight gain occurs in the comfort zone.

This is precisely why someone who goes for a tummy tuck or a liposuction, would probably not be able to maintain the weight loss. What habits have they cultivated that would help with weight loss. They forcibly shrunk physically without stretching mentally. This weight loss is never sustainable because its NOT Correct Weight Loss. Correct Weight Loss requires you to cultivate habits that will keep your body slim and trim for a lifetime. It is a lifestyle change. Take a look at the following to get you on the road.

Health and Wellness – Muscles and Weight Loss

admin — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 02:31:59 +0000

While working out is beneficial to your overall well-being and waistline, your scales can sometimes be deceiving. Exercising builds muscle and muscle weighs more than fat. Did you know that muscle also grows faster than fat? Eventually as you keep up your new found love for exercise the increased muscle mass will speed up your metabolism and the fat will burn away. What do you do in the meantime when you’re not getting the results you’re looking for? When you’re trying to drop those last few pounds on the scale it may be wiser measure your progress by how your clothes fit or calculating your body fat percentage rather than holding out for that magic number on the scale.

Let’s look at some facts of what building muscle does for the body and why tossing the scale into the closet for a few weeks may not be such a bad idea:

1.) Since muscle grows faster than fat the initial weight gain on the scale is most likely the result of increased lean muscle mass in the body, rather than fat.

2.) Muscle weighs more than fat and is more compact. The scale may be creeping up but if you clothes are looser then you know you’re on the right track

3.) Weight gain from exercise is temporary at best. Once your body adjusts to a routine your weight will adjust, unless you’re overcompensating for your workouts with too many extra calories.

4.) Increased muscle mass = increased metabolism which means weight loss is just around the corner.

Health and Wellness – Mind Over Matter

admin — Sat, 05 Jun 2010 02:41:56 +0000

Just going on a diet or being on a weight loss program will not give you permanent weight loss results. You will gain all the weight back that you have lost unless you are convinced in your subconscious mind that you will be lean and strong for life.

This is one area that is missing in most weight loss programs. However, there is a way to fill in this missing link. Begin with the mind and the rest will follow. This is as true with starting a new course of study or opening a new business as it is with weight loss. The idea is that you have to convince your subconscious mind first of all that you want to lose the weight and that you are in fact a lean and healthy individual. You need to feed your subconscious these suggestions so that your mind will direct you to the most viable alternatives that will make these suggestions come true.

Health and Wellness – Weight Loss Answers

admin — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 01:05:15 +0000

1. How much weight should I lose?
Answer:
If you’re like most people, you’ve probably set very high weight-loss standards for yourself. This can lead to disappointment. So before you start, it’s important to establish realistic goals that you can reach and feel good about. For most people, a weight-loss goal of about 5% to 10% of their body weight is realistic and rewarding.

Remember, you don’t have to lose a great amount of weight to improve your health. Studies show that a 5% to 10% weight loss can improve weight-related health problems such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease and diabetes.

2. Do I have to do strenuous exercise to lose weight?
Answer:
No. In fact, you can achieve results simply by increasing the level of physical activity that you and your doctor decide is appropriate. Even walking a few minutes each day will make a difference.

Boosting your level of physical activity is a good idea for at least three reasons:

* People who regularly engage in physical activity are generally more successful at losing weight and keeping it off than those who don’t.
* Increasing physical activity is good for you. It generally lowers blood pressure, helps control diabetes, lowers cholesterol and improves cardio respiratory function.
* People who are physically active report that they enjoy improved moods and enhanced self-esteem and self-respect, as well as reduced stress, anxiety and depression.

Some people cannot increase their level of physical activity for medical reasons. Please consult your doctor before starting or

3. Doesn’t genetics affect weight?
Answer:
Absolutely, but you have to manage your weight within that. Work with the hand you’ve been dealt; for example, being big-boned is no excuse for being 100 pounds overweight. Accept that you have some extra challenges — and that you’ll probably never be stick-thin — but don’t let that be your excuse.
