Simple Tips for Easy Weight Loss
Current statistics reveal that 75% of Americans are overweight and 40%
are obese. For those who desire to lose weight and obtain optimal
health, sometimes it can be overwhelming trying to figure out where to
start. From the Atkins Diet to the South Beach Diet; from the low fat
to low carb diets, there are numerous weight-loss plans to choose from.
In addition, given conflicting information as to what works best, it
can be difficult deciding what to do.
For those who have tried many diet plans with no success, it becomes
more difficult and frustrating. Many people forget that a diet might
work wonders for their friend but won't work well for them...not
because the diet is "bad", but because each body reacts differently.
However, there is a way to lose weight that is easy, fast, and doesn't
involve deprivation or calorie counting.
Before the weight loss tips are discussed, it's important to address
some background information about body genetics and why weight loss can
be difficult.
Before anyone starts a diet, it is important to note that each person
has a different body build. Some people are short and stout while
others are tall and thin. Some have big hips and shoulders, and others
are short and very muscular. Genetics can determine body shape and a
person's natural build just as it does eye color, hair color, skin
color, and so on. The good news is that genetics do not determine
whether or not one will be fat, but will determine one's body shape.
This means that not every woman can expect to be tall and thin like a
Hollywood actress or supermodel such as Tyra Banks. Not every man can
expect to be defined and muscular like The Rock. The goal, really, is
to be at a comfortable weight for one's body shape and to feel good
about it.
So, why are people overweight? Here are 11 of the most common reasons:
1. Slow metabolism: People who are overweight have a hard time burning
off food. As a result, the fat is stored.
2. Emotional eating: Those who struggle with weight often eat when
stressed or when other emotional upheavals are happening in their life.
3. Hormonal imbalances.
4. Eating portions that are too large.
5. Eating lots of "diet food" (that is low fat,low carb, and "sugar
free" foods). Kevin explains in the book why this is a problem.
6. Build up of toxins in the body.
7. Eating late: Late-night eating can cause food to convert to fat more
easily.
8. High susceptibility to growth hormones: These hormones are given to
animals to help them grow faster and larger, so meat and dairy have
residual growth hormones. In humans, these hormones can result in
increased fat storage.
9. Not eating breakfast.
10. Numerous diets: Going from diet to diet has a negative impact on
the metabolism and causes weight loss to be much more difficult.
11. Food ingredients: The reasons why are amazing and beyond the scope
of this article. Readers are encouraged to read for themselves Kevin's
two books.
Simple Tips for Easy Weight Loss:
Now that there is a better understanding of body genetics and why
people have a tendency to be overweight, here are the tips for fast,
easy weight loss.
Tip #1: Drink water upon arising: First thing in the morning, drink
eight ounces of distilled water, bottled water, or filtered water (not
tap water).
Tip #2: Eat a big breakfast: This should be done 45 minutes after
getting up in the morning. Suggested organic foods to choose from (they
must be organic) are apples, bananas, rye bread with no sugar, plain
yogurt, tuna, lamb, tomatoes, carrots, peppers, raw honey, wild smoked
salmon, and so on.
Tip #3: Drink distilled water throughout the day: Eight glasses is
recommended
Tip #4: Walk non-stop one hour each day: This doesn't have to be power
walking; just walk at your own pace. Walking outdoors is best.
Tip #5: Stop eating after 6:00 PM: This is hard for some people, but do
the best you can.
Tip #6: Do a candida cleanse: Candida is yeast overgrowth in the colon
that can cause all kinds of health problems. Check online for "Candida
Cleanse" or go to your local health food store.
Tip #7: Do a colon cleanse: This cleanse cleans out the digestive
system, which is clogged and sluggish in many overweight people. Once
again, check online or go to your local health food store.
