Simple Tips for Easy Weight Loss, Part I

Copyright 2005 Hawkins

Current statistics reveal that 75% of Americans are

overweight and 40% are obese. For those who desire to lose

weight and obtain optimal health, sometimes it can be

overwhelming trying to figure out where to start. From the

Atkins Diet to the South Beach Diet; from the low fat to

low carb diets, there are numerous weight-loss plans to

choose from. In addition, given conflicting information as

to what works best, it can be difficult deciding what to

do. The following tips and information highlight's

Trudeau's book: " How to Lose 30 Pounds in 30 Days: The

Weight Loss Secrets They Don't Want You to Know About. "

For those who have tried many diet plans with no success,

it becomes more difficult and frustrating. Many people

forget that a diet might work wonders for their friend but

won't work well for them...not because the diet is " bad " ,

but because each body reacts differently. However, there is

a way to lose weight that is easy, fast, and doesn't

involve deprivation or calorie counting.

Before the weight loss tips are discussed, it's important

to address some background information about body genetics

and why weight loss can be difficult.

Before anyone starts a diet, it is important to note that

each person has a different body build. Some people are

short and stout while others are tall and thin. Some have

big hips and shoulders, and others are short and very

muscular. Genetics can determine body shape and a person's

natural build just as it does eye color, hair color, skin

color, and so on. The good news is that genetics do not

determine whether or not one will be fat, but will

determine one's body shape. This means that not every woman

can expect to be tall and thin like a Hollywood actress or

supermodel such as Tyra Banks. Not every man can expect to

be defined and muscular like The Rock. The goal, really, is

to be at a comfortable weight for one's body shape and to

feel good about it.

So, why are people overweight? Here are 11 of the most

common reasons:

1. Slow metabolism: People who are overweight have a hard

time burning off food. As a result, the fat is stored.

2. Emotional eating: Those who struggle with weight often

eat when stressed or when other emotional upheavals are

happening in their life.

3. Hormonal imbalances.

4. Eating portions that are too large.

5. Eating lots of " diet food " (that is low fat,low carb,

and " sugar free " foods). explains in the book why

this is a problem.

6. Build up of toxins in the body.

7. Eating late: Late-night eating can cause food to convert

to fat more easily.

8. High susceptibility to growth hormones: These hormones

are given to animals to help them grow faster and larger,

so meat and dairy have residual growth hormones. In humans,

these hormones can result in increased fat storage.

9. Not eating breakfast.

10. Numerous diets: Going from diet to diet has a negative

impact on the metabolism and causes weight loss to be much

more difficult.

11. Food ingredients: The reasons why are amazing and

beyond the scope of this article. Readers are encouraged to

read for themselves 's two books.

Simple Tips for Easy Weight Loss:

Now that there is a better understanding of body genetics

and why people have a tendency to be overweight, here are

the tips for fast, easy weight loss.

Tip #1: Drink water upon arising: First thing in the

morning, drink eight ounces of distilled water, bottled

water, or filtered water (not tap water).

Tip #2: Eat a big breakfast: This should be done 45 minutes

after getting up in the morning. Suggested organic foods to

choose from (they must be organic) are apples, bananas, rye

bread with no sugar, plain yogurt, tuna, lamb, tomatoes,

carrots, peppers, raw honey, wild smoked salmon, and so on.

Tip #3: Drink distilled water throughout the day: Eight

glasses is recommended

Tip #4: Walk non-stop one hour each day: This doesn't have

to be power walking; just walk at your own pace. Walking

outdoors is best.

Tip #5: Stop eating after 6:00 PM: This is hard for some

people, but do the best you can.

Tip #6: Do a candida cleanse: Candida is yeast overgrowth

in the colon that can cause all kinds of health problems.

health food store.

Tip #7: Do a colon cleanse: This cleanse cleans out the

digestive system, which is clogged and sluggish in many

overweight people. Once again, check online or go to your

local health food store.

weight can result in many health issues and negatively

impact one's emotional state and self-esteem. However, for

those struggling with this problem, there is hope. You can
