Are your BMI and weight circumference putting you at risk? The task of reaching a healthy weight is challenging because, unlike smoking or drinking alcohol, we have to eat. Yet if we stop looking at dieting as a thing we do to ourselves, but instead focus on creating a healthy weight to support the healthy person we become, it is a much easier undertaking. It is a key habit of health and worthy of your immediate attention and focus.
The literature is full of statistics and studies that support the importance of reaching a healthy
weight and lifestyle in preventing disease and creating long-term health.
The great news is that by reducing your weight by 10 percent, you lower your risk for disease
almost 50 percent. And the even better news, if you are overweight, is that I’m now your personal
coach and I am very good at helping people lose weight (and even better at helping them keep it off
through the habits of health).
Your energy management
Everyone comes into this world with specific genetic programming. You can thank your parents for
whether that has helped or hurt you to this point. Genetics has probably had some effect on how well your body processes food and energy, as well as how much muscle mass you have. If you had
overweight parents, you have a greater tendency to also be overweight. If you had skinny, tall parents, you are likely to be skinny and tall. However, that’s not always the case, and it’s not necessarily your destiny. The truth is that approximately 70 percent of your current weight is determined by how well you have managed your energy until now.
Your energy management system is an amazing system of checks and balances that can equalize
weight over a wide range of conditions. Unfortunately, in modern life, our schedules and lifestyles do not allow it to do its job of increasing your activity or decreasing your caloric intake to maintain that balance. So that extra one hundred calories a day that come from one can of soda, one extra cookie, one afternoon candy bar, or one extra piece of pizza translates to an energy imbalance that, over a year, adds an additional five pounds of excess fat to our bellies. The insidious fat creep as a result of our obesegenic world is here to stay. Over two-thirds of us are currently the struggling casualties, with more on the way. Many are continually looking for help.
Many people give weight-loss advice. Most think they are experts on diets. They have tried most
diets and are always ready to tell you what works and what doesn’t. What I have found is that almost everybody giving you advice is trying to get you to either eat less or exercise more. Some try to get you to focus solely on your diet, saying that energy-dense food cannot be overcome with exercise alone. They are right. But long-term weight loss cannot be maintained without increasing activity.
Some say that exercise is the key to long-term success, because although you may lose weight
slowly, you have a better chance of keeping it off. They are right too. But the packed gym in January is empty by the Ides of March. Where have all the people gone?
If you do not lose significant weight on a diet or with exercise, chances are you will get discouraged and not continue long enough to discover whether it works for the long term. There is a very simple solution: create safe and effective weight loss by reducing your energy intake, thus creating results that are observable and self-motivating. Add in progressive movement as you feel better and have more energy, and find a balance over time between your eating and your movement that is sustainable for the rest of your life. you can get more health information through this link:
