Are We Like Animals

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008

While we can’t compare ourselves with animals, we can begin to understand eating habits and the reason why humans become over weight.

Consider how many animals you will see that are over weight. In the wild, you wouldn’t find any and it is not because of a lack of food - although that certainly will cause a wild animal to be under weight.

No, even where there is an abundance of food, animals in the wild don’t get obese like humans do and it is not because of their metabolism or digestive systems. It is because they are eating the correct foods that nature designed their systems to eat to ensure that they are getting the correct nutrition to maintain good health. Obesity certainly isn’t a good healthy state to be in.

I doubt you will find any animals that are obese other than those that we keep as pets and that is because humans not only eat the wrong foods themselves but they also feed their pets the wrong foods.

We feed our pets processed pet food that has all sorts of colors, additives and other rubbish that they were never designed to have. We do them further harm by feeding them table scraps and leftovers. The reult of feeding them a poor diet is the high and ever increasing incidence of diabetes in our domestic animals.

We are not only making ourselves sick with poor food choices but we are also reducing the chances our pets have of living long and healthy lives.

Just like the food we buy for ourselves, the food we buy for our pets is often determined by the quality of the marketing campaigns that promote those foods.

So the only living beings that seem to make the wrong choices in food consumption are humans and we are supposed to be the most intelligent!

And the only other living beings that are affected by poor food consumption are pets because they have to rely on the poor decisions that are made by humans.

Food Choices

Monday, October 27th, 2008

As you progress further into any weight loss program, the foods that you choose will change as initially you’ll be eating predominantly for weight loss.

As your weight gets to a more optimal level, you will need to change your diet accordingly as maintenance rather than weight loss will be the key to your nutritional needs.

If at any time you find that you are reverting back to previous habits, you should take action immediately and consider the life style and your health problems that those habits caused you in the past. The fitter and healthier you get, the easier it will be for you to stay away from those old habits.

For this reason, where possible, you should choose a weight loss program that will optimize your health as soon as possible even if you still have more weight to lose. Simply put, you will be far less likely to slip back into your old habits if you can see the progress coming fairly rapidly as you get to feel that your health is improving and your fitness levels are rising.

Even taking the correct balance of vitamins and minerals will improve your well-being and help you to feel better about yourself. This will also make it easier for you to continue on a new dietary plan as the supplementation will reduce the chances of your body reacting to the changes in nutrition.

All things being equal, the person who uses supplements, provided they are the correct ones, will achieve more success a lot sooner with any weight loss program than someone who tries to reach their goals without the added support that  good supplements can bring.

You don’t need to go overboard as it is easy to spend a lot of money on supplements that are not required. Simply taking a good multi vitamin and mineral supplement daily will be sufficient to start with.

So Many Choices

Saturday, October 25th, 2008

It seems that almost every other day there is a new diet being promoted that is promising instant results overnight.

You have to understand that the diet industry is a huge industry where billions of dollars are spent and made and anything that can target a piece of that market can capture considerable amounts of wealth to those who can cash in on it.

There are so many choices available and various different diets and weight loss programs, that it is extremely difficult for somebody who has no knowledge of good nutrition, to know where to turn to when they want to lose weight.

Like almost anything you hear and read about that sounds too good to be true, it generally is. You must realize that it is not possible to go from being obese one week to being in shape where you can wear a bikini down to the beach and feel good a few days to a month later.

All the good nutrition, exercise and anything else you can do, can’t change your body that fast.

Sure, you can make yourself look a lot better in a small amount of time by following a good exercise regime and eating quality foods in reasonable quantities, but most people need to realize that it has taken them years to get to the stage where they are at the moment,  and to reverse the process overnight is not possible.

Rather than getting disheartened by reading this, you can look at all these different weight loss programs in a more realistic manner and see what they are actually offering that might help to give you good results in the long term.

You don’t get a set of ripped abs overnight just as you don’t trim your waist with only five minutes exercise a day and a milkshake.

By following proven weight loss and dietary methods, you will know that over the long haul, and with only a reasonable amount of effort and consistency, you will be able to shed those extra pounds and keep them off for good. These fad diets that promise everything generally deliver nothing except a hole in your bank account.

Read, research, inquire, or ask your doctor which might be the best program for you. Even if you continue eating the way you are right now, if you exercise 3 to 5 times a week for 30 - 45 minutes each time, you can lose weight but at a much slower pace. Exercise,  proper eating habits and nutrition go hand in hand to weight loss and fitness.
