EVER BEEN ON A DIET?
Unless you have put on more
than just a few pounds, you may have answered no to that question but in the
strict sense of the word, you have always been on a diet. A diet is what you
eat every day. The word has become so associated with weight loss, losing body
fat or dieting for health that we automatically think of diet in that sense. It
is pretty much on everyone’s mind.
The center for disease
control and prevention statistics shows that nearly one third of US adults (33.85%)
are obese) Approximately 17% (or 12.5
million) of children and adolescents aged 2---19 years are obese. Questions
about diet and losing weight are among some of the most frequent questions
asked online
This leads us to believe that there are many more that
may not have reached the stage of obesity but are somewhere on the way.
There are two prominent factors involved in the problem
of getting rid of excess weight. The first is in knowing specifically, how and
why those extra pounds got there.
The second is in knowing how to remove what your body has
already stored without the process compromising your health and taking over your
life.
A real magic bullet or pill, as a solution, has not yet
been found nor is it likely that it ever will be. Many plans and treatments are
aimed at the symptoms rather than the cause and in the process, create an
imbalance in the body that can also cause a few pounds to be dropped but never really
solve the problem.
If you have ever had food poisoning, you know how fast that
can drop your weight but I am sure you will also agree that it is not a good,
healthy way to lose weight.
Being overweight is a lot like being lost in that the
best way to get back to the starting point would be to retrace your steps over
the same path and undo the things that brought you here in the first place. It
is possible to make that return trip and undo some of those mistakes. As long
as you know what caused the extra pounds. That, along with some changes in
eating habits and life-style makes it possible to do just that and perhaps even
experience some notable improvements in your health and the way you feel as a
bonus..
Without taking care of the two factors mentioned it is
likely that all the exercise, calorie counting or starvation diets in the world
will do but very little to help solve the problem. Until the first two problems
are solved, it’s like trying to make two opposing forces work for you. If you
have tried any of those methods, you must know how aggravating and time
consuming they can be. Losing weight is a matter of getting everything to work
together in the right direction.
Fat is one of the easiest places for the body to store
toxins so over the next few days I will be bringing more information on the
solution to the subject of healthy weight loss. Thanks you for visiting. I hope
you liked the message and will stop by again tomorrow.
