Doctors agree that Obesity means having enough excess fat that you may be putting your health at risk. Fifty percent Americans are overweight or obese, and those overweight tends to become obese over time. Once you begin to understand the science behind the human body, you can begin to control your weight. Dieting works according to certain principles that are built into the laws of nature:
Weight Loss Fact #1: Our Bodies Are Well Adapted To Starvation
When you take in fewer calories than you need, it is natural for your body to fight to maintain your weight. Starvation has always been something that people just cannot grasp in concept. Our genes don’t have a chance to keep up with the processed food that is within our reach at all times. When you condition your body to eat this way and then stop, it will do everything it can to get back to what it is used to. We are after all creatures of habit.
Weight Loss Fact#2: Energy In = Energy Out and Energy Stored
It is simply a matter of calories in versus calories out. If you take in fewer calories than your body needs, it will burn some of its stored protein, fat and carbohydrates in order to get the energy it needs. There are significant differences in how efficiently your body can burn or deposit fat, carbohydrate, and protein. Eat fewer calories than you burn and you lose weight. Eat more than you need, and you gain weight. It’s not rocket science.
Weight Loss Fact #3: All Diets Work for Some People
Lots of people lose weight and then regain it soon after because they choose to follow the latest diet fad instead of consuming proper nutrition. Without major changes in their lifestyles, these dieters regain their lost weight and add more pounds each year. You can either fool yourself into thinking the next quick fix will work, or you can get serious about change.
Weight Loss Fact #4: All Diets Are Not Created Equal
In order to be safe, a diet must provide the protein you need. If you starve or consume too little protein, your body will take protein from your vital organs and tissues, including your heart muscle. Plant proteins such as soy protein don’t have any deleterious effects on kidney function. Animal proteins can have some negative effects on kidney function. Diets such as Atkins waste the opportunity to lose weight successfully and permanently.
Weight Loss Fact #5: Protein, Carbs, and Fats Are All Essential
Food manufacturers today can give you any profile you want by messing with Mother Nature. Two foods can have similar proportions of calories, whether or not they contain vitamins, minerals and fibre. There was not an obesity epidemic 50 years ago. Their success lied heavily on the fact that they didn’t eat junk food at every opportunity, or follow fad diets that tell you a fresh apple is bad for you because it contains carbohydrates.
Weight Loss Secret #6: Shape is more important that weight.
The Body Mass Index, BMI, in Americans is set at 25 for the overweight and 30 for the obese. Gaining weight in the belly to form an apple shape increases the risk of developing heart disease. So you can be at a normal weight, but carry too much fat in the
