WEIGHT LOSS

Weight loss and weight control are hot topics these day, as weight control and good health are inter-connected. Weight loss has assumed top priority in many people’s lives – whether they really need to lose weight or not!

However,some weight control efforts can result in damaging health and the body. So you see perfectly trim bodies galloping along miles of concrete sidewalks, doing untold damage to their feet and knees. You also see the occasional brave jogger who does need the exercise, although a brisk walk would be healthier.

The gyms at the health clubs are filled to capacity with curvaceous ladies and lean muscular gentlemen, (separated
by gender) casting surreptitious looks at one another, vying for the most attractive slim body.

Unfortunately, you don’t see enough individuals in these health clubs who really would benefit from shedding some excess weight. Many feel too self-conscious to join up.

There are some very important and good reasons for weight control. The first being that a growing segment of the North American population suffers from medical problems linked to being over-weight. Obesity can also lead to:

• Feelings of inferiority and unattractiveness. We are conditioned to believe that the epitome of feminine beauty lies in the top models’ slinky skinny bodies with the exaggerated swing, and that successful men must, be slim and muscular.

• Result in health problems. Heart problems are exacerbated if excess weight has to be carried around. Heart disease is the major killer in North America. Diabetes and obesity have been linked in some research studies, as well.

• Cause embarrassment, and inconvenience, regarding seating in public transit systems, including buses and airplanes.

• Lead one to suffer from dangerous eating disorders, such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder.

So, what do you do about it, naturally, if you are overweight or obese?

The most obvious steps to achieve optimum weight loss is:

• Proper diet is essential : Eat sensibly, no gorging; include supplements like green tea in your diet
• Exercise is a must for fast weight loss
• To develop a strong mental image of yourself when you have achieved your desired weight loss.There are more drastic options, such as surgery and stapling the stomach, for serious cases of obesity.

This website, as you probably know, deals with effective natural remedies for health problems - being over-weight, is a major threat to good health. We avoid suggesting the use of drugs, with their possible side-effects, and leave that avenue up to your medical practitioner. Before I direct you to the most effective natural remedies and support centers to enable you to lose weight rapidly, I’d like to share a potent secret with you that really works almost magically. I share it with the subscribers to our 'To Your Health, Letter' Newsletter, and it’s a big hit at cocktail parties. It works. Try it!

This is what you do: When you sit down to your main meal of the day, help yourself to just two-thirds of your normal serving. When you are almost done, before you help yourself hungrily to the one-third portion you reluctantly had forgone earlier, leave the table and head for the telephone. Pick up the receiver and call someone. It could be anyone, but try to have a conversation for at least five minutes. If you can’t think of anyone to call, indulge in a five minute soliloquy. Return to the table and sit down. I guarantee that you will not want to finish the remnants on your plate, let alone even consider another helping! How does it work? Mother Nature has arranged for there to be an interval before the stomach communicates to the brain that it is satisfied, and additional food is unnecessary. This probably goes back to the early days when food was not readily available, so one gorged oneself until another meal could be eaten, without feeling sated until one had eaten heartily for a while. Whatever the explanation, it works every single time.

Now, you should not blame yourself, or feel guilty, if you are over-weight.

It may be that you over-eat, it may be that you don’t exercise at all, or that you eat the wrong foods. These causes can be corrected easily using some self-control and sound common sense.

But it may be that there are reasons that you overeat that you are unaware of such as:

• Over processed food. Your body craves the nourishment it needs at a cellular level, and eating refined foods doesn’t provide it. So you eat more quantity and volume, and stack up the calories!


• Food Sensitivity. If you are sensitive to certain foods, usually processed foods with chemicals, your body tries to mask your negative symptoms by releasing addictive opiods. So you tend to seek out the very foods that trigger the addictive chemicals.

• A clogged liver. Your liver performs many digestive functions, and if it is clogged with excessive toxins and fats, it can’t do it’s job.

So, it's important to get the assistance of professionals to help you naturally lose weight. You can start by consulting your family doctor, who will probably refer you to a reputable dietician.

There is new natural plant derivative, Hoodia, that is attracting wide positive media exposure from large, highly credible media outlets such as CBS 60 Minutes, NBC, and Oprah's Magazine.

Hoodia gordonii, (Hoodia) is the botanical name for a cactus like plant that grows in Southern Africa. Scientists have recently isolated several compounds in this amazing plant that are responsible for dramatic weight loss. This all-natural appetite suppressant has proved to be very effective in the battle to lose weight. And it contains no dangerous stimulants.

The chemical constituents in Hoodia work within the satiety center by releasing a chemical compound similar to glucose but much stronger. The hypothalamus in the brain interprets this signal to mean that enough food has been consumed, and shuts off all feelings of hunger. Weight loss - Hoodia, the natural appetite suppressant
