Why Natural Weight Loss?

Do you understand the simplicity of being healthy and natural weight loss?

If you want to successfully lose weight…

You want to happily and activitely include healthy recipes for your healthy weight loss.

That means understanding the real value of health nutrition…long term for permanent weight loss.

You need to enjoy exercise for natural weight loss.

Natural weight loss is weight loss facilitated by eating healthy and naturally, adding exercises to get the best healthy living results.

Natural weight loss includes eating healthy, healthy food and healthy diet, no chemicals, surgeries, diet drugs or unnecessary means for losing weight.

Basically, most quix fix solutions are so dramatic the results they facilitate simply do not last.

Healthy, natural weight loss means exercising to promote good health.

You want to exercise at little every day for at least 30 minutes to get the most out of a weight loss program.

Skipping exercise by filling your diet with pills, chemicals or surgery (any  unnecessary treatments) is your choice, but it never sustains good health.

Natural weight loss is healthy weight loss, focusing on eating natural food instead of packages foods that are fat and calorie laden.

Begin with this in mind: When you go shopping in the grocery store, walk the perimeter first.

The perimeter of your supermarket is where you will find:

  • Fresh bread and bakery items,
  • Deli items (freshly sliced meats, cheeses, dairy, meat, vegetables)
  • Natural, healthy foods and drinks.

The aisles on the inside of the supermarket are where you will find the majority of the pre packaged foods, which are rife with preservatives, sugars, fats, calories and other completely unnecessary additives.

So the answer to “What is natural weight loss?” is actually quite simple.

Natural weight loss is weight loss that is done the way your body will best respond.

Your body responds properly when you feed it healthy, natural foods like fruits and vegetables, breads and dairy, lean meats and proteins like nuts and legumes.

When you put healthy foods into your body and you fuel your metabolism consistently throughout the day using small, consistent portions, your body will respond by losing the appropriate amount of unnecessary weight.

When you exercise consistently, giving your body at least 30 minutes of activity per day, you will build healthy muscle and eliminate unhealthy fat.

Building muscle through healthy exercise actually facilitates even more healthy, natural weight loss because a pound of muscle burns more calories in a day than a pound of fat.

If you want to go on a diet or implement a weight loss plan that is going to allow you to lose unnecessary weight and burn unnecessary fat in favor of a leaner and healthier body…

You don’t need pills or surgery to facilitate the process.

Healthy, natural weight loss is all about feeding your body everything it needs, avoiding the overload of calories it does not need.

Want to live a healthy and natural life while keeping your body in the best possible shape?

Natural weight loss is actually simple because you get long term quality lifestyle and the most advantageous kind of weight loss.

If you are a health conscious woman, why do it any other way when you could boost your energy, extend life and vitality well past normal years?

Now you know why natural weight loss means your body is naturally reducing the effects of aging, plus improving your life for the better.

Diets and dieting is the practice of eating food in a regulated fashion to achieve or maintain a controlled weight…

What are the dangers of fasting and it’s side effects?

In most cases a diet or dieting is used in combination with physical exercise to lose weight.

If you are overweight or obese, everyone tells you to get on a diet.

On the other hand, some women aspire to gain weight (usually in the form lean muscle).

Diets can also be used to maintain a stable body weight.

Diets used to promote weight loss are generally divided into four categories:

  1. Low-fat (low fat diet)
  2. Low-carbohydrate or low carb, (carb diet, low carb diet )
  3. Low-calorie (low calorie diet)
  4. Very low calories diet

A meta-analysis or systematic review of six randomized controlled trials found no difference between the main diet types.

Low calorie, low carbohydrate, and low fat with 2–4 kilogram weight loss in all studies.

 At two years mark, all calorie-reduced diet types cause equal weight loss irrespective of the macronutrients emphasized.

Different types of diets like low-fat diets, low-carbohydrate diets, low-calorie diets, very low-calorie diets effects and/or influences:

  • Low carbohydrate versus low fat
  • Low glycemic index
  • Fat loss versus muscle loss
  • Energy obtained from food
  • Proper nutrition
  • How your body gets rid of fat
  • Psychological aspects of weight-loss dieting

Low-fat diets

Low-fat diets involve the reduction of the percentage of fat inyour diet as calorie consumption is reduced but not purposely so.

Low-carbohydrate diets

Low carbohydrate diets such as Atkins and Protein Power are relatively high in fat and protein.
  • These types of diets are very popular in the press but are not recommended by the American Heart Association.
  • A review of 107 studies did not find that low-carbohydrate diets cause weight loss, except when calorie intake was restricted.
  • No adverse effects from low carbohydrate diets were detected.
Low carbohydrate diets do not support exercise very well due to the fact that carbohydrates are the main source of energy during anaerobic exercise.
  • Most elite athletes use carbohydrates for sprinting or resistance training as carbs supply 30% or more during aerobic exercise.

Low-calorie diets

Low-calorie diets or calorie restriction usually produce an energy deficit of 500–1,000 calories per day…
  • Which can result in a 0.5 kilogram (1.1 lb) weight loss per week.
  • They include the DASH diet and Weight Watchers among others.
The National Institutes of Health reviewed 34 randomized controlled trials to determine the effectiveness of low-calorie diets.
  • National Institutes of Health found these diets lowered total body mass by 8% over 3–12 months.

Very low-calorie diets

Very low calorie diets provide 200–800 kcal/day, maintaining protein intake but limiting calories from both fat and carbohydrates.
  • These types of diets subject your body to starvation and produce an average weekly weight loss of 1.5–2.5 kilograms (3.3–5.5 lb).
  • These diets are not recommended for general use.
Very low calorie diets are associated with adverse side effects such as loss of lean muscle mass, increased risks of gout, and electrolyte imbalances.
  • People attempting very low calorie diets must be monitored closely by a physician for health complications.
As a women, you definitely want to avoid dangers of fasting with side effects because that’s not what a healthy diet and better qauility lifestyle is all about!

Weight loss diet, diet and dieting…what happens to your weight loss success?

Lose weight and enhancing women’s health…what’s the secret?

It’s a question many women deal with on a daily basis.

What’s the best way to lose weight and keep it off?

Pointers on Losing Weight Safely…

Women who want to lose weight commonly, and first of all think about reducing the amount of food they eat.

This may be a quick solution, not exactly the best choice.

In fact, depending on the amount you reduce in your food intake, it may even be dangerous to your health.

So how do you lose weight effectively and safely?

Here are some points to consider as a lose weight guide:

Beware of the Crash Diet…

Most women think trimming down calories alone can shed their unwanted excess fat.

Probably this is because of the low carb fad there is in advertising about low-calorie food products and beverages.

What a lot of women don’t know is this could be dangerous because when they decrease their calorie intake way below daily required levels, the body’s organs begin to shut down.

Burning fat requires a lot of energy.

Since there is not much energy to facilitate metabolism of fat, the body will run at a very slow pace resulting in fatigue, illness and weak immune system.

Researchers at California Polytechnic State University say the answer may rest in how your home environment supports you in your weight loss success.

The new study, appearing in The Annals of Behavioral Medicine, has found predictable factors like exercise and control over eating and over eating play a vital role…

So do factors in the home like fewer TV sets and more exercise equipment.

Researchers say people with fewer TV sets have better weight loss success.

Researchers compared people who had lost over 10 percent of their body weight and kept it off for at least five years.

They compared overweight or obese individuals who have been unsuccessful with long-term weight loss.

They found people successful at weight loss:

  • Have a strong commitment
  • Exercised more often
  • Made healthy food choices
  • Healthy eating habits
  • Healthier homes (fewer televisions)
  • More exercise equipment
  • Better quality food…

“You have to pay attention to your home environment if you want to succeed. Do you have a TV in every room? When you walk into your kitchen, do you see high-fat food or healthy food?”

Asked the study’s lead author Suzanne Phelan.

Dr. David Katz from the Yale University School of Medicine says the study proves some markers of success are self-explanatory.

For example: Exercising more and eating more sensibly.

It also highlights the importance of changing your environment to promote a healthier lifestyle rather than just having willpower.

Some health practitioners have suggested an alkaline diet for people trying to shed extra pounds.

It is based on citrus fruits, vegetables, tubers, nuts and legumes.

Remember, as your weight loss coach I’m committed to helping you get better results and enjoy a happier quality of lifestyle success.

The reality is, success weight loss stories only happen as you succeed, so that’s another reason why I’m motivated to help you every step of the way.
