Weight Loss
According to
recent surveys, approximately one third of the population in
Australia and other developed countries are overweight.
Hereditary factors and metabolism do influence weight but research
has indicated that for many of us, it is the type of foods we
consume rather than how much of it we actually eat. This is
where the problem lies.
Incorrect diet and increased body weight are major factors in the
health problems we face today. Heart disease, high blood
pressure, liver damage and emotional disorders are but a few.
People who have a weight problem complain of less energy and general
feelings of un-wellness not to mention that the heart has to work
harder to pump blood through more body mass. This can lead to
the subsequent shortening of the heart's life span.
If the diet is high
in fresh vegetables, fruit and fibre then really it should be
difficult to get fat. Roughly 75 percent of the foods we
consume should come from this group with the remaining percentage
being filled by whole grains, low fat dairy, eggs, beans and seeds.
-
Avoid saturated fats, sugary foods, rich sauces and
fatty fast foods.
-
Try replacing cups of coffee with raw fruit and
vegetable juices.
-
Eat three good meals a day, starting with a good breakfast,
a substantial lunch and don't over
eat at dinner.
-
Careful snacking in between meals can increase the
number of nutrients in your diet especially if the healthy
alternatives are chosen.
-
Find an exercise routine that you enjoy
-
Keep all weight loss goals realistic and take one day at a
time.
-
The main energy sources should be from eating
fruits, vegetables, cereals,
rice, breads and pasta.
For any weight loss plan to be effective, dedication is essential.
Worry, boredom, stress and negativity should be avoided and
exercise should play a major part. Crash dieting and diets high in
protein or no carbohydrates rarely work and can lead to an unhealthy body.
There are
several weight loss formula's available to assist any weight loss
plan that you may wish to create.
