Summary:
In short, we all need to be healthy and fit. We each have our own reasons from looking good naked to being around for the kids (maybe your doctor even ordered you to start getting healthy and fit). Obesity is the leading overarching cause of death in the U.S. and I dare say most of the westernized world.

  • All too often we fail to think about what we’re doing to ourselves and our families.
    • So do it for them as well as yourself.
  • If you need help, find a workout partner or get a fitness trainer.
    • If you look online they aren’t all that expensive and they can help motivate and guide you to your health and fitness goals.

Fact:  The US has seen an enormous increase in the number of people considered obese by the medical community. In fact many call it an obesity epidemic. To combat this we find all sorts of pharmaceutical companies selling the “quick fix” pills, powders, and lotions that do nothing to actually help people take the fat off and keep it off.

  • Of course the same could be said of the diet industry as well.
  • There are so many different diets going around now you could pick one a month and in a years time still have more to choose from.

What is truly needed are some sensible proven weight loss tips that people can implement no matter what their present physical condition is. That said let’s dive right in.

  • #1 Drink more water.
  • #2 Eat more often.
    • Bet you thought I was going to say eat less. Lol! 🙂
    • While it’s true that to lose weight you need to eat less calories than you expend…you need to eat more often to get the metabolic furnace stoked up and burning right.
    • Get it out of starvation mode.
    • Tip:  Start the day off with breakfast.
      • Consider drinking a nutritionally balanced instant breakfast drink and a piece of fruit as you head out the door in the morning.
  • #3 Move more.
    • Depending on your physical condition you need to be moving more.
    • Use the stairs rather than the elevator, park farther away from the office or the store, go for a walk around the block, go dancing, play with your kids.
    • Make it fun.
    • Running is not the only way to burn more calories.
  • #4 Finally, determine your “Why”.
    • Decide why you want to discard fat.
    • Make your reason big enough to motivate you through the slumps that invariably happen.
