Weight Management / Weight Loss .....Same baby

Weight Loss / Weight Management......

is a long road either way you look at it. For many years you have seen advertising after advertising on the newest and the greatest thing to come along from Oprah to Dr. Phil to Palattees (???) to Slim Fast. I guess there all good in there own way, but there is one thing that they seem to miss in everyone of these solutions. What is i?, well lets take a look at that shall we.

Your body and how your metabolism works.

See weight gain is your bodies attempt to protect itself from starving for the right nutrients and proteins it needs. Now I'm no expert at this so I am going to put some information on the table from a world renowned Doctor that has done the research into this for many years and I will give you a small profile on him to so you know this the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

Reset and Recharge Your Metabolism - For Life

With two out of every three people in the United States classified as being overweight or obese, the weight loss market is literally busting at the seams. Many companies are looking to capitalize on the weight loss trends and are much more concerned with generating profits rather than providing real, sustainable, or healthy solutions. As a result, the market is cluttered with fad diet programs and products; some of which include magic foods, silver bullet caffeine capsules, fat and carb blockers, quick cleanses, protein drinks, low-fat foods, and so-called nutrition bars. Virtually all of the popular diet methods in the marketplace prove to be unsustainable because they are not developed to deliver what your body needs for the long term. In fact, these popular weight loss diets aren’t designed to protect or improve the health of your body; they’re designed to give you a quick fix loss of a few pounds to make you think that they are working. But this rapid weight loss is weight you will quickly regain, and your body will be worse off in the long run. While you may lose weight with these fad programs and products, you are likely doing more harm than good by losing lean tissues including muscles, organ tissues, and bone mass. Loss of muscle and bone becomes even more dangerous as we get older and lean tissues are more difficult to repair and recover.

Without proper nutrition during weight loss to target loss of body fat, the loss of lean tissues (muscles, bones, heart, liver, intestines, and kidneys) reduces your ability to burn calories and eliminate body fat. This makes it more and more difficult to lose weight and keep weight off. The longer you use a bad diet the fewer calories you can eat. Because of our modern food distribution system, and our convenience oriented and indulgent society, weight management must become a daily, deliberate, and conscious process. It doesn’t need to be complicated or difficult, but healthy and successful weight management must be a lifestyle decision.

So there it is. The information you didn't know that you didn't know. This information has clinical testing and medical white sheets to back it up. I will bring more on that as I post more. Hope you enjoyed this talk to you soon.
