Learn How To Lose Weight And Live Healthy
from:How do we know which weight loss program is the one magic bullet for us? I am sure you have heard about such diets as Slimfast, Jenny Craig, Nutri-system, the Green Tea diet and Weight Watchers just to name a few.
We have a crisis here in America. It is called obesity! This is the fastest-growing cause of death and disease in America. The sad thing is that it is completely preventable.
Did you know that nearly 2/3 of Americans are overweight or obese In America, 1/8 of all of the deaths is caused by an illness that is directly related to being overweight or obese.
Here is another bit of bad news. An unprecedented number of children here in the U.S. carry excess body weight. This weight greatly increases our children's risk factors for a variety of health problems including heart disease, mental health problems, diabetes and asthma.
So, what does it take to lose some of this weight? The first thing you must do is cut down on the number of calories that you take in each day and start burning more calories every day.
Calories, by definition, are the amount of energy in each piece of food that you eat. Some foods are higher in calories than others. If you consume foods that are high in sugar and fat, then you are typically eating a lot of calories. If you eat many more calories than your body can use, the extra calories are stored away as what? You're right excess body fat.
Let's get down to the nitty gritty! A pound of fat is equal to about 3,500 calories. To lose a pound a week, all you have to do is eat 3,500 less calories a week. That comes to about 500 less calories a day. If you don't want to do it that way, then you will have to burn off the extra calories. You can burn these calories off by just being more active or by exercising.
The best weight loss program is for you to consume fewer calories and then burn off those calories. Just think all you have to do is to eat 250 calories less each day and exercise enough to burn off an additional 250 calories a day. That will be equal to you losing a pound a week.
Many experts say that you should lose no more than 2 pounds a week. Losing more than that will mean that you are probably losing water weight as well as lean muscle mass and that you are not losing excess fat. If you do this, you will find that you will have a decrease in energy and more than likely you will gain the weight back!
Diet pills are not a magic cure all. It is true that diet pills may help you lose the weight initially, but they will usually not help you to keep the weight off, and they may also have side effects which could be damaging.
Most of these diet pills have not been tested by the FDA which means you are unsure if the drugs are safe. Taking diet pills does not help you to learn how you must change your eating and exercise habits if you want to lose weight. The only way to lose the weight and keep it off is by changing your lifestyle.

I weighed in three days before my 32nd birthday and I was at 175.6. That is a 50 pound difference in two years.
The pictures above reflect that change. The one of me in black is from two years ago. I had just turned 30 and I weighed 225. The picture of me in red is from this past August. My husband took the picture right before we went out to celebrate my 32nd birthday. I weighed 175. Not too bad, huh? I want everyone to know that I wouldn't have gotten this far without all of the wonderful people in the Friends discussion group on Diet Watch.

Lose
Fat, Not Faith
_____________________________________
Lose Fat, Not Faith, was developed
by Jeremy Likeness. Jeremy himself was an
individual that found himself 65 lbs overweigh and a couch potato, and he mentioned
,
“That I was killing myself. “ His heartfelt resolution in his life, has become
the
answer for many. This is a realistic, no hype program. The thing that
really impresses
about Lose Fat, Not Faith, is that he deals with the issues that cause us to gain
weight
in the first place. So many systems teach you how to lose weight but don’t
change the
reason in your life that got you there in the first place. Lose Fat, Not Faith
shows you
how to have an inner confidence, and rational resolution to deal with the reason
you
gained your weight in the first place. Jeremy is dead on, with this
system.
If you find yourself eating for what seem like no reason, just to eat.
Chances are you
are emotionally eating. There is something causing to eat without your realizing
it. You need
to sincerely get this program. This will help you to deal with the real reason
for your
weight. He also deals with educating you in dealing with the bad behaviors
that you have
learned and finding alternatives.

Let's see, do you have enough space for all that has happened since I have lost my weight so far? When I started this program on May 6, 2005 I weighed 281.1 lbs. I was having severe back and knee problems to the point I was having to go to the emergency room. Now since I am a CT Tech in a hospital and work mainly out of the ER, you can imagine the last place I want to go on my time off is back to work.. haha. Well, I finally reached my bottom emotionally and decided I needed to do something about it. Technically, I qualified for the BARIATRIC surgery but having seen several friends have it and have complications from it (including one dying), I decided that as long as I can walk, then I can do something about my weight |
I knew what had worked in the past for me and realized that it was when I was living at home and my parents cooked our meals that made it so successful. I don't like to cook and it never made sense to cook for one person. I researched the internet for programs that provided my food for me. I really wanted one that had real food rather than processed food. My sister sent me your website because she had heard of it from a friend. I read and read and thought about it and came to the conclusion that this was probably the one for me. Boy was I right!!
The food is fantastic
and I love the fact that I don't have to cook or clean
up!! I can tell you that in the 1 1/2 yrs that I have been losing weight,
I haven't had problems with my knees or back, my feet and lower legs don't swell,
I am exercising and now even training for the Walt Disney Half Marathon in speed
walking! Next goal will be a mini triathlon. I have tried rock climbing...and even
made it up to the top of the wimp wall (the easiest one). It was so weird,
when I started that climb, my fat self was saying that there is no way that I can
climb it but my new skinnier self was saying yes I can because I am healthier now
and I was right. I now have men looking at me, flirting with me and that is
so foreign. I have been heavy pretty much all of my life and never really
got the guy's attention. I haven't quite figured out how to handle it yet,
but is sure is fun trying... Everyday, someone either at work or when I am
out and about, will make a comment on how great I am doing.
