Hi, my name is Greg Ryan. I am a high profile fitness expert. With thousands of weight loss success stories under my belt, I am here to encourage you to start exercising to lower your body fat levels.
If you are reading this, you already know you have a problem. You just need to know how to fix it and where to go for help. How do you fix obesity?
First, obesity means, your total body weight is at least thirty percent fat. When this happens, everything starts shutting down. Two things must occur in order for this not to get worse; lose fat and gain muscle.
Lose Fat: Through exercise and eating better.
Gain Muscle: Through weight training and weight bearing cardiovascular exercising.
One muscle cell burns off seven times the amount of one fat cell. So do your math. The more muscle tissue you have the more calories you will burn, even by just sitting. There is no easy way around this, you are going to have to get off your butt, or there is a good chance of something bad happening to you and your health. Incorporating, diet, exercise and movement in your life is really your only healthy choice. Do you need some help? If so, that's ok. There are those here like myself that really care about you and are not out to make a quick buck with some pie in the sky pill.
While my approach to weight loss is the road less traveled in is the one that will most likely get you to your destination. America has an obesity and diabetes crisis because of your approach to it, not the numbers they supply on your charts. Here are five points to remember:
Determine HOW you are motivated
Determine the REASONS behind the unwanted behaviors.
Develop a great support system
Eat for fuel not for taste
Keep being active.
I truly am asking you and almost begging you to follow these points. If you don't you are really asking for trouble soon down the road. I will help you if you let me. Let me prove it to you.
For a healthy person weight loss is simple: burn more calories than you consume. The healthiest weight is determine by height to weight ratio or Body Mass Index (BMI) and the amount of fat in your body. Unfortunately over 60% of the North American population is considered to be overweight, according to the BMI index.
Together with a healthy diet and consuming more of fruits, vegetables and meat and dairy foods that are low in saturated and trans fat would help you to lose weight and keep it off longer. Be sure to talk to your doctor before you would like to start any weight loss program. Here are some common sense approaches that might help you to lose weight:
1. Don't skip your breakfast Skipping meals will only cause you to eat more in the next meal. After a long period of hunger, your stomach triggers the brain to release more chemicals that ask you to eat more (more than 2 meals combine) in the next meal.
2. Follow the BMI index According to the National Institution of Health, the definition of healthy weight is a BMI of 24 or less. Men and Women with a BMI of 25-30 are considered to be overweight. BMI is reliable for people from 19-70 years of age. Study reveals that for people over 64 years of age, the risk of dying from heart disease does not go up with a BMI between 25-27. A BMI over 28 seems to increase risk of heart disease.
3. Slowly and Surely Change your lifestyle habits slowly. Each day replace some of the saturated and trans fat foods with healthier foods. Start Exercising gradually. Walk 10 minutes a day for a few days then 15 minutes, 30 minutes. Keep going until you work your way up to doing a supervised exercise program. Be happy if you lose 2 to 3 Lbs a week.
4. Stay Moderately active Sitting in front of the computer or television all day will increase the risk of arthritis, type II diabetes, obesity, heart diseases, and depression.
5. Shopping parking Parking your car at the far end of the parking lot will help you to burn more calories. If you calculate the calories which you burn from all the trips that you take such as mall shopping, grocery shopping, working, picking up the kid from school, you will be surprised. Each mile will burn somewhere around 125 calories.
6. Moderate intake of alcohol Moderate drinking of alcohol beverages containing no fat, no cholesterol, and very little sodium and is often associated with weight loss in women. Moderate consumption of alcohol is associated with better health and longer life. Drinking a cup of red wine for women and two cups for men daily will help increase blood circulation and decrease risk of heart attack.
7. Study shows that eating chicken soup with rice and drinking water together before meal will help to curb your appetite.
