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.

What is your daily calorie intake to lose weight?

Researchers at Cornell University offered a group of students a free lunch for several weeks.

Unbeknownst to the students everything they ate was measured and weighed.

Each week the amount of food served was increased.

Each week the students ate whatever was in their plate.

Portions of soup, pasta, breadsticks and ice cream increased significantly during the course of the study…

And the students simply ate what was in front of them.

The scientists concluded that portion size (food portion sizes) determines calorie intake.

What is your calorie recommended intake?

If it’s on your plate…you will eat it. So take small portions. Plain and simple!

Listen carefully, I am a weight loss coach and the idea of any “fat women” having low self-esteem is a myth.

Every psychological test given to overweight women indicates they’re as mentally healthy (or unhealthy) as anyone in the general population.

There is nothing concrete to suggest anything solid about overeating that is associated with poor emotional health.

In fact, it is realistic to say obese people are emotionally stronger than slim people…

Many slim or lean women who were interviewed said they’d stay at home if they were obese …

They would not have the psychological fortitude to be seen in public if they were overweight or heavy.

Firstly, obesity is not a psychological disorder.

Second, obesity is not an eating disorder.

Fat women have a genetic predisposition to gain weight.

Speaking generally: If women conform to today’s celebrity ideal of slimness or good health…well, that’s their choice, right?

But if your genetics dectate you tend to gain weight easily, you must find a way to counteract those biological impulses through behavioral changes.

Our genes may give us the capacity and tendency to eat much and gain much, but it is our environment and habits that allow or influence us.

What gene that opens your mouth is responsible for overeating?

In my weight loss coach sessions, everyone who wants to lose weight does lose because we add self-development to the mix.

Small steps with self-confidence and inner strength makes it easier to stick to whatever weight loss program you decide to follow.

And it is crucial to follow a weight loss program that fits your personality.

The truth is, any healthy weight loss diet program will work if you follow it.

The challenge is building new eating patterns into your life.

New amazing and permanent weight loss, is easier to achieve when you simply follow a series of small steps and don’t think about the big picture.

You want to be adding new eating habits to your daily routine with small progressive behavioral habits that absolutely help your weight loss…

Helps you reach your weight loss goal quickly and easily.

A great start is to use some of the weight loss tips I provide which are based on the latest research so you’ll benefit.
