Lose weight the healthy way

Lose weight the healthy way – It is possible and you can

Weight

Weight lose. Keeping your weight to check involves total life change. What you eat and your feeding habits also counts.

If you ever wanted to lose weight then you must be ready to ready to accommodate high degree of tolerance and patience because the body adapts to slow and gradual changers in terms of food and exercise. It is never healthy to burst to physical activities or crash diet thinking that this will make you lose quickly. For instance if you have not been into physical activities for a long time you must not start very aggressively like running several miles in a day no you will be struggling and develop the feeling of dishearten and demotivated besides this you may get injured along the way giving your fitness schedule a setback. Likewise starving yourself all over sudden diets that severely restrict calories or the types of food ‘allowed’ can lead you to be deficient in the nutrients and vitamins that your body needs. Therefore for you to lose the healthy way you must embrace the following:

Energy needs and weight loss

The body require energy to function well and any energy in excess of what the body needs is stored as fat denoting that when you eat more food beyond what the body can accommodate for its daily activities and cell maintenance then you are likely to gain weight and for you to lose this excess, you must engage the body into doing so by reducing the amount of calories you eat and increasing your level of activities and that is why experts talk about weight loss in terms of diet and exercise.

Introduce changes gradually

The small things you do can make a big difference like an extra peace biscuit a week may make you gain 5lb a year this may look insignificant but it is not because if you remove that biscuit out of your diet you’ll lose the same amount.

You should think of weight loss in terms of permanently changing your eating habits. Even though weight-loss goals are usually set in term of weeks, the end game is to tolerate these changes over months and years, i.e. lifestyle change for life.

Increase your activity levels

People who increase the amount of their physical activities while maintaining the same diet and calorie intake will certainly lose weight. It may not matter your dislike for gym, remember even that small and short 10 or so minutes of walk is beneficial when done consistently. Every single time you exercise more than usual you will be burning calories and fat. Therefore choose from the many ways of increasing like team sports, racket sports, aerobics classes, running, walking, swimming and cycling will all improve your fitness levels.

Reduce your calorie intake

If you’re overweight, you can’t continue with your current eating habits if you really want to lose weight.

It’s not possible to reduce body fat while eating lots of food, cakes and sweets. This doesn’t mean you can never have any treats, but you need to learn how to limit these foods to small quantities and for weight-loss, you can get your body to use up existing stores of fat by eating less and making healthier choices.

Remember there are no shortcuts to losing weight in a healthy and reasonable way. Consider the following ways to reduce calorie intake without having to alter your diet significantly.

  • Replace fizzy drinks and fruit cordials with water.
  • Swap whole milk for semi-skimmed, or semi-skimmed for skimmed.
  • Eat less lunch than usual. For example, make your own sandwich and limit the use of margarine or butter and full-fat mayonnaise (store-bought sandwiches often contain both).
  • Stop taking sugar in tea and coffee.
  • Have smaller portions of the food you enjoy.
  • Avoid having a second helping at dinner.
  • Cut out unhealthy treats – such as confectionary, sugary biscuits and crisps between meals.
  • Cut down on alcohol intake.

All these things will influence your health in a positive way.

Finally, don’t be tempted to skip breakfast – or any meal to lose weight. While skipping a meal will reduce your calorie intake for that hour, it will leave you much hungrier later on and because of this you will not overeat to compensate, but you’ll often make bad choices to fill the gap: a cereal bar is not as healthy as a bowl of cereal or as filling, leading you to ‘need’ something extra for lunch.

Be patient and persevere

It might take a week or two before you notice any changes, but they will steadily appear. After the first month you’ll be able to see the results and measure them in terms of looser fitting clothes.

Keeping your motivation up is one of the most difficult aspects of dieting. There will be days when healthy eating goes out the window, and there will be weeks where you may not lose any weight – or put a little back on.

This is normal for everyone – dieters or not – so don’t let it undo your plans for a slimmer you. You’re not doing anything ‘wrong’, but you may need to look at your plan. Do you need to increase your activity levels? Make a few more changes to your diet? Put more effort into sticking to your current plan?

The other side of this is to make sure you celebrate your goals. While there’s joy enough in stepping on the scales and seeing them dip lower, be sure to mark long-term progress with a reward – such as new clothes or time off from domestic chores.

Health benefits

Studies show that overweight women who lose between 10lb and 20lb reduce their risk of developing diabetes. For men, the risk of heart problems reduces considerably.

It may seem like these are problems to worry about in the future, but time flies by and each passing minute counts work closely with the experts like doctor Dalal Akoury who is the founder of AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center. She will help you in many ways including focusing on Neuroendocrine Restoration (NER) to reinstate normality through realization of the oneness of Spirit, Mind, and Body, Unifying the threesome into ONE so that your weight is adequately put to check

Easy way to losing weight

Easy way to losing weight – Make it Painless

Weight

Easy way to losing weight. It all begins with you being positive that you can make it weight problem will not be a problem.

It the concern of many obese people and those suffering from weight related complications of how best they can effectively deal with weight issues and in the most friendly way to all. This concern is a rising because weight loss has been associated with vigorous physical activities and healthy feeding habits which to many is an uphill task due to the nature of their work and schedule. Many obese people find it difficult preparing their healthy meals straight from the groceries and participating in physical activities due to unavailability of time. This is necessitated by tight work schedule where they leave for work very early and toile into late night and by the time they are done leaving for home they are tired and worn out. At this time what they can do is to walk in to the nearest fast food restaurant and have a quick bite of junk food for breakfast lunch and dinner. I believe you are aware of the consequences of this kind of feeding habit (weight gain, obesity and poor management of weight related problems).

As if this is not enough these people are having very minimal indulgence into physical activities further complicating their situations. The problem could be compounded if they are taking alcohol and smoking cigarettes substances which are addictive and has negative effects to human life. The insufficiency of physical activities is as a result of not being able to go the gym, walk and jog around the park and spending most of their working time in unhealthy office seats. Because of these fundamentals it will be very important that we look into ways of bridging the gap so that even those with such busy and tight schedules are also enjoying life without the scare of obesity. This therefore forms the basis and motivation of this article and so if you are that person then you may want to consider the following to help you bring your weight to manageable levels.

Addition and Subtraction

You may not need to follow diet denial instead add to your diet all those healthy food stuff you prefer like deep-red cherries, juicy grapes, or crunchy snow peas including those preferred fruits into your lunch and breakfast cereal menu and finally add the veggies into soups, stews, and sauces.

Adding in really works and taking away never does, while adding you must be careful keeping an eye on the overall calories. By the way don’t forget to add in something physical too, whether it’s doing a few dance moves before dinner or taking a quick stroll. Having appreciated how busy you are I will tell you how you can be physically active even in your situation of busyness.

Forget About Working Out

There are several things you can do that would help you replace working out like for instance you can be burning calories and stimulate muscles by doing things like washing your car instead of paying the car wash dealer to do it for you, riding your bike within your compound, chasing your dog around the back yard, delight in great sex these are very simple activities you can do without having to go to the gym or taking a work in your local park

Go Walking

In your busy schedule you can still get time to walk around for some few minutes and by the way few minutes can even be 5minutes. Walking in a nice weather condition is very healthy way of keeping fit and you may choose any of the following steps to help you be active the easiest way and without much sweating.

  • Engage and trade your power mower for a push version while clearing your compound.
  • When at your work station desire parking your car at the back of the lot to give you some little time walking to and from the office.
  • Instead of using your car when going to a meeting in the next street walk out of the office building and enjoy walking the meetings venue.
  • Sweep the drive or rake the leaves instead of using a leaf-blower.
  • Get off the bus a few stops earlier and walk the remaining distance.
  • Hike the mall, being sure to hit all the levels.
  • Take the stairs every chance you get and be consistent in doing so.
  • Sign up and participate in organized charity walks.
  • Turn on the music and get your heart rate up the next time you mop or vacuum.

These little movement put together go a long way in motivating your physical activities. If you walk twice a day for 10 minutes and try a few of these tips, you may find yourself with a low-impact, 30-minute workout easily tucked under your belt.

Sleep well

There are several possible ways that sleep deprivation could increase the chances of becoming obese. For instance:

  • Sleep-deprived people may be too tired to exercise, decreasing the “calories burned” side of the weight-change equation.
  • People who don’t get enough sleep may take in more calories than those who do, simply because they are awake longer and have more opportunities to eat;
  • Lack of sleep also disrupts the balance of key hormones that control appetite, so sleep-deprived people may be hungrier than those who get enough rest each night.

Finally by being unable to normally practice weight loss obligations for reason discussed it will be very important for you to seek the help of professionals who will guide you on matters of obesity and weight related problems. Dr. Dalal Akoury, who founded AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center, is a medical professional offering her exclusive NER Recovery Treatment to everyone globally and to other physicians and health care professionals through training, clinical apprenticeships, webinars and seminars.

Pregnancy and obesity

Pregnancy and obesity-The risks involved

Obesity

Don’t let obesity or weight gain ruin your joy of motherhood. Seek help from obesity expert when pregnant and enjoy motherhood.

Weight is a very significant component in human life because there is the recommended weight considered to be healthy. If ones weight is not within the break even line then such individual has a medical problem and should seek medical attention immediately. Our mothers when pregnant will always add some weight due to the unborn baby growing inside their wombs. This is what I will call necessary weight gain because there is a baby involve, in fact the additional weight should be that of the unborn baby but if this goes beyond the recommended higher limit then there is a problem. This is the problem we want to discuss to give some insight on how to cope and respond when you find yourself in similar situation as a woman. Dear reader I do not intend to address women only but it is equally important for men to be equipped with this information to give a helping hand in the family if faced with the problem of weight gain during pregnancy.

Therefore being over-weight or obese during pregnancy may have health complications to the mother and to the unborn baby’s development in the womb and even on delivery and after delivery. Because of the magnitude involved it is important that we get to know the health complications arising out of weight gain and how to positively respond to them during and after pregnancy. For a start it is important that you are aware of what may be considered to be obese

What’s considered obese?

First of all what is obesity? It is a condition where the body accumulates too much fat that the body does not need. This is normally determined by a formula based on ones height and weight also known as body mass index (BMI). Below is a guide on what is considered normal or a pointer to obese.

Body Mass Index                     Weight status

a)    Below 18.5                     Underweight

b)   18.5 – 24.9                     Normal

c)    25 – 29.9                        Overweight

d)   30 – 39.9                        Obese

e)    40 and above                  Extreme obesity

Could obesity affect my ability to get pregnant?

This condition can harm a woman’s fertility by preventing normal ovulation thereby necessitating the use of vitro fertilization (IVF) to complete the process. IVF is a common practice in which the sperm fertilizes the egg outside the body and doctors implant it into the woman’s uterus in hopes of a successful pregnancy. Answering the question being obese can affect pregnancy and as a woman’s BMI rises, so does the risk of unsuccessful IVF.

Effects of obesity during pregnancy

It is only healthy that pregnant women watch out their weight closely as possible to avoid being obese because obesity increases pregnancy complications risk greatly. Some of these risks may include:

  • Gestational diabetes – obese women stand great chance of suffering from diabetes that develops in the course of pregnancy which is commonly known as gestational diabetes than those with normal weight.
  • Preeclampsia – obese women has increased risk of developing high blood pressure and protein in the urine after 20 weeks of pregnancy (preeclampsia).
  • Infection – obese women has increased risk of urinary tract infections. Obesity also increases the risk of postpartum infection, whether the baby is delivered normally or by C-section.
  • Thrombosis – obese women has increased risk of a serious condition in which a blood clot forms inside a blood vessel (thrombosis).
  • Overdue pregnancy obesity increases the risk of prolonged pregnancy wand goes beyond the expected due date.
  • Labor problems – labor induction is more common with obese women. This may also inhibit the use of certain types of pain medication like an epidural block.
  • C-section – obesity during pregnancy increases the likelihood of elective and emergency C-sections. It also increases the risk of C-section complications like delayed healing and wound infections. Women who are obese are also less likely to have a successful vaginal delivery after a C-section (VBAC).
  • Pregnancy loss – obesity increases the risk of miscarriage and stillbirth.
Effects of obesity to the unborn child

There are various health complications to the unborn baby when the mother is suffering from obesity, these may include:

  • Macrosomia – obese women has high potential of bringing forth babies who are who are obese are at increased risk of delivering an infant who is considerably larger than average (Macrosomia) and has more body fat than normal. Studies have established that as birth weight increases, so does the risk of childhood obesity.
  • Chronic conditions – being obese during pregnancy might subject your baby to the danger of developing heart disease or diabetes as they grow up into being adult.

The recommended weight gain during pregnancy

This is not possible expressly as each individual would gain differently depending on their health BMI, pre-pregnancy weight, their health and that of their unborn children. It is therefore important that pregnant mothers consult regularly with their health care provider to give direction on what’s best in each case and also to consistently monitor their weight though out the pregnancy period. You may want to consider the following general guidelines for pregnancy weight gain and obesity:

  • Single pregnancy – if you’re obese and carrying one baby, the recommended weight gain should be about 11-20 pounds that is approximately 5 to 9 kilograms.
  • Multiple pregnancies – if you’re obese and carrying twins or multiples, the recommended weight gain should be about 25-42 pounds which is approximately 11-19 kilograms.

In conclusion obesity is a medical condition and being obese during pregnancy may increase the risk of health complications for both of you (the mother and the baby). To reduce your nervousness, you will need to work very closely with your health care provider who will help you avoid excessive weight gain, manage any medical conditions, and monitor your baby’s growth and development.

Obesity Epidemic

Obesity Epidemic-Modern Sitting Furniture

obesity

We are using seats everywhere we are without knowing that some of these seat are the source of our health problems like obesity and weight gain

Did you know that the comfort of your living room, office, eateries and the like could be the reason why you can’t have proper control of your weight? Thanks to modernity we can today afford to live a life full of comforts around us. Take for example the kind of seats you use in your house, office, hotels, in your car, buses, planes and locomotives if the pocket allows you would go for the very best that would offer you the maximum comfort. This is the problem begins and for the purpose of this article we will be discussing the possible effects of our desired seat comfort and the endless problem of weight gain and obesity so stay tuned and let us learn together. If you were to carry out a simple research today beginning with your own family you would probably if not definitely find that the seats in our homes and offices are very comfortable, soft and nice looking to sit on, it may be very difficult if not impossible to find firm wooden seats being used in our families today. What we may not know is that these comfortable seats as we call them are a great threat to good health, they are associated with the problem of weight gain and obesity and we all know the problems those suffering from obesity or weight gain goes through. Tracing the kind of life our ancestors lived in relation to today’s life style weight gain was never a problem as matter of facts there was under weight. They were using firm wooden furniture without the arm’s length and back rest which the day’s generation considers uncomfortable, what amazes me is that there was no weight related problem and less incidences of certain types of diseases that to an epidemical proportion affects the industrialized world today.

Obesity Epidemic-The traditional seats

It must be noted that sitting for a significant amount of time on modern sitting furniture result in adverse musculoskeletal changes and studies have found that adverse musculoskeletal changes cause excessive weight gain. I talked of our ancestors but bring it nearer to just a few decades ago and quite recently, even in the western industrialized world, sitting furniture consisted mainly of chairs or benches with a solid seat surface. I strong believe that we are in agreement that just a few decades ago, upholstered sitting furniture’s like the arm chair, sofa and couch were uncommon office furniture let alone household furniture’s. In most societies in the developing world the kinds of furniture used consisted of very simple seats with three leg or four legs without the back or arm rest. These industrious seats like the sofa, couch, armchair, rocking chair or even the chairs fitted with backrest were a luxury that could only be associated with a small population of the rich who could afford them. The true picture is that the majority of the world’s populations were using chairs with a wooden seat and wooden benches, and in the last few decades huge changes have happened.

Obesity Epidemic-Upholstered furniture

Not so long ago, even in the industrialized world, the upholstered furniture was affordable only to rich people. Nowadays, due to the advancement in technology, production and economic prosperity, it is available to a great percentage of the world’s population because of the drastic reduction of their cost. The economic prosperity has come with great changes and diversifications of how we live. We have replaced the traditional sitting furniture with modern ones consisting of chairs with an upholstered seat surface, like sofa, arm chair, couch, etc. if you were to interrogate technology of producing today’s upholstered sitting furniture is vastly different from the manufacturing technology that was used just a few decades ago. As a matter of fact lot long ago all upholstered sitting furniture were made using spring systems. The expensive sitting furniture was made using eight-way hand-tied springs that offer a firmer seat and a sitting position. The less expensive sitting furniture was made using sinuous springs that offers a softer seat. The current technology has tactfully eliminated the use of eight way hand tied spring and sinuous springs in a bid to cut on cost and has resorted in the cheap method of stuffing or padding with soft fuelling, mostly using polyurethane foam which are less costly. Even though a few furniture are still being made using springs these are very expensive and a preserved of the very rich leaving the majority with the upholstery of the cheap sitting furniture consists of high density polyurethane foams wrapped in fabrics that provides far softer seats compared with the sitting furniture that is made by using the spring system. The element of cost has drastically revolutionized the quality of seats in that it is less and less common for chairs to have a firm surface of the seat and most chairs have a soft upholstered seat. This revolution has not only replaced the old sitting furniture with the less costly version of modern sitting furniture’s in households, but also in public places like schools, universities, restaurants etc. chairs with a firm seat surface are replaced with the less costly version of sitting furniture that have a soft upholstered seat. This has really increased the current generation vulnerability to weight gain and obesity and all other complications associated with the two. Obesity Epidemic-Overweight and Obesity Funnily enough the changes that have taken place in the life style and food is not too much in relation to the ones that took place in the sitting furniture revolution. Let’s us get a bit of insight of this aspect even as we try to understand the implications of weight gain and obesity in the whole process. Just not long ago (a few decades) the greater population of people suffering from overweight and obesity came from the bracket of the rich and wealthy people while it is the rich who could afford the upholstered sitting furniture. Nonetheless obesity was rare and morbid obesity was inexistent the reason for this being, the seats of the upholstered sitting furniture were far less soft compared to today’s cheap version of upholstered sitting furniture. What a contrast that:

  • Today the expensive upholstered furniture is made by using the same technology that was used a few decades ago.
  • Today the prevalence of obesity among the poor population is not much different than what was the case a few decades ago.
  • The primary reasons for that is that they still use sitting furniture that is manufactured using the same system that was used a few decades ago.

Things have really changed and today in the developed world the most obese and particularly morbidly obese people are mostly found among the less affluent population.  The primary reason for that is because they mostly use the less costly modern sitting furniture. During the time when sitting furniture was made mainly from wood without upholstering and mostly without back support, at the same time among the poor and the middle class population, obesity was unknown. During those times, the problem among the less poor population was mostly being underweight and not overweight, and severe obesity or morbid obesity was extremely rare. In the developed world, modern less costly sitting furniture is the main factor that has caused the less poor population to be affected with overweightness and obesity to a far greater extent than the rich population. Modern upholstered sitting furniture, particularly cheap versions that includes upholstered chair, armchair, sofa and couch are the main contributing factors for the increased prevalence of overweight and obesity throughout the world.

Obesity Epidemic-Gene

It is known that overweight and obese parents are more likely to have overweight and obese children. The main reason for that is that parents and children use the same sitting furniture. The obesity epidemic is mainly caused by the widespread use of modern upholstered sitting furniture. Particularly, the less costly version of upholstered sitting furniture is the main cause for the obesity epidemic and it is one of the primary factors that are responsible for the higher rate of obesity among the less poor population and regular or increased physical activity is not enough to counteract to the adverse consequences of prolonged sitting on the modern style of upholstered sitting furniture. Dietary intervention for weight management makes the problems worse. As we conclude on this article of great revelation, I want to encourage you that technology has brought with it lots of good and bad things in our lives, weight gain and obesity is just one among many. You and your friends need to seek guidance from the experts, you need not to be obese for you to do this but it is good to be full of knowledge even before the problem knocks on your door step. Taking your time to visit or call AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center under Doctor Akoury’s care who is also the founder will help you clear the air and be equipped with all the necessary information you need to be safe from obesity and weight related problems.
