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.
