Facts not Fiction about Weight loss:
Weight Loss Facts If you take anything away from reading this
article it is my hope that you will fully understand and be able
to differentiate weight loss facts from fiction. To put it
plainly, no diet in the world is going to help you lose weight
and keep it off permanently. This is especially true if you buy
into the latest fad diets touting high protein/high fat intake
while strictly limiting your ingestion of carbohydrates. What
these diets fail to tell you is that many of the foods that are
richest in essential vitamins and minerals are considered
carbohydrates—more specifically, complex carbohydrates.
Fresh vegetables, fruits, nuts, legumes, and whole grain
products are all beneficial to our health because they are high
in antioxidants, fiber, protein, and minerals that our bodies
need to thrive. If you cut out these complex carbohydrates
because you are afraid eating them will make you fat, you are
doing your body a huge disservice. Likewise, if you take in too
much protein from high fat sources, such as beef and lamb, you
are further complicating matters. Meats high in saturated fats
lead to clogged arteries, obesity, vascular problems, and a
feeling of sluggishness.
Unfortunately, the media does not want Americans to understand
the true weight loss facts, because if we did they would lose
millions of dollars a year in revenue.
Think about all of the products on the market today that are
geared towards weight loss, such as high protein bars, zero carb
cereals and breads, and a host of supplements. My new personal
favorite is the cream made from a cactus that you rub on your
body externally to accomplish weight loss. If we become educated
enough to realize that we do not necessarily need to buy such
products to lose weight and feel great, these companies would go
bankrupt. Therefore, they are willing to spend millions of
dollars a year in advertising to cover up the real weight loss
facts and keep us hooked on their products. People are so
desperate for a weight loss super pill they seem willing to try
anything except common sense.
It Is Time You Understood the Real Weight Loss Facts If you want
to lose weight and keep it off you must do two things—exercise
regularly and eat a diet that limits saturated fats,
preservatives, sugars, and sodium. Aim for foods that are in
their natural state, and avoid those pesky middle aisles of the
supermarket that are stocked with prepackaged foods. Take time
to prepare a healthy meal for yourself every evening, and strive
for better food selections when eating out. The end result is
that you will begin to see those pounds melt away, your energy
will increase, your sleep will improve, and your outlook on life
in general will be much brighter. Sure, it takes time, but
aren't all things worth having worth working for? I think so. Real nutrition, fitness and weight loss information for real
people. Learn how our everyday living environment impacts our
health and wellness. Click on the link to learn more:
