How to Successfully Get Slim - Understanding over-weight and Obesity
THE CAUSES OF EXCESSIVE WEIGHT
If you eat more nutrients containing energy than you need for
your daily activities, for the internal processes of your body,
and for the burning process that maintains the body temperature,
the excessive nutrients can be transformed to fat and stored in
the fat depots in your body. The causes of this occurring, and
thus of overweight, are one or more of these factors:
1. Consuming too much fat: Fat is the most energy-rich nutrient,
and over-consume will cause the excessive fat consumed to be
deposited in the body.
2. Consuming too much sugar, starch or other carbohydrates:
Carbohydrates are also important energy sources. Over-consume of
carbohydrates will cause the excess to be converted to fat and
stored in the body.
3 Consuming too much alcohol: Also this substance contains
energy, and excessive consume results in fat stored in your body.
4 Consuming too much of preprocessed products with added, and
often hidden fat or sugar, like sweet beverages, cakes,
ice-cream, fast food and snacks.
5. Eating too much altogether: Perhaps your food is not fat- or
sugar-laden, but you simply eat too much altogether. Also
protein will be converted to fat if it is overconsumed.
6. Irregular eating, like eating much at one time, little at
another time, wait long between some meals, consuming huge doses
of sugar at some times, no sugar at other times: If you eat
irregularly, you can get an uncontrollable appetite, a swinging
blood sugar level, and an abnormal physiology that makes you
deposit fat in your body.
7. A still sitting life with little exercise so that you burn
little fat and sugar.
8. Boredom in your daily life: If you do not have much hobbies,
or leisure activities, or isolate yourself from other people,
you may suffer form boredom, and excessive eating may be your
way of getting entertainment.
9. The body has some capacity of burning some extra amount of
sugar or fat. This capacity may be decreased because of lack of
vitamins and minerals, and because of an unsound diet.
10. An abnormal appetite that urges you to eat far more than you
need: This abnormal appetite may originate from psychological
causes, an unsound diet or lack of exercise.
ANALYZE YOUR OBESITY PROBLEMS
Before beginning your weight reduction program, go through all
obesity causing factors listed above, to find out what factors
contribute to your over-weight problem. Go down to details. For
example: If you find you consume too much sugar, find out the
exact food types contributing to your excessive sugar consume.
Write everything down.
MAKE A PLAN
With the performed analysis in hand, make a plan for your weigh
reduction. Decide a goal for your weight. Decide one or more
measures for each component contributing to your problem. Write
down your plan.
HOW TO REDUCE WEIGHT
In order to successfully loose weight, you must attack every
component you have found to be a causing factor of your obesity
problem. Here are the concrete measures you can use, and put
into your plan:
1. Eat less fat
If you eat much fat, you must reduce the daily intake of fat, to
do so:
* Choose fat poor fish, fat poor meat/beef, chicken, turkey,
mushrooms and other food sources with law fat content as the
main components for dishes.
* Cut away visible fat from meat or other food sources.
* Do not add much margarine, butter or oil to your food.
* When you fry something, try to use as little fatty smear in
the pan as possible.
2. Eat less sugar
If you eat much sugar, reduce your daily intake of free sugar,
or bounded sugar as in flour, potatoes and the like:
* Do not add much sugar to your food.
* You may also need to consume less bread, potatoes, peas and
beans, if you eat very much of it, but do not stop eating these
kinds of food, since they contain valuable nutrients. However,
use bread made of full corn.
3. Avoid excessive alcohol consume
Alcohol contains energy, and will be transformed to fat, if you
consume too much of it.
4. Avoid preprocessed food with added and often hidden fat or
sugar
Some food contains a great amount of hidden fat or sugar,
especially fast food, snacks or preprocessed food.
* Therefore you should avoid eating much of products like:
cakes, sweet drinks, snacks, chocolate, ice-cream or fast-food.
* You should also buy all the food you use in a natural form,
and make your dishes yourself. Then you achieve an absolute
control over the amount of fat and sugar in your dishes.
5. Eat less altogether, but do not starve yourself
Having reduced the amount of sugar and fat from your diet, you
may fall to the temptation of eating more than before, because
the new composition of your food does not satisfy your hunger.
You should be aware of, and avoid this trap.
* When trying to loose
weight, you should reduce the total
amount of the food you eat.
* However, you should not starve yourself. To starve will only
make you tired and sick, and then make you interrupt your
efforts to get slim.
6. Eat regularly
Regular eating habits will give you a stable blood sugar level,
help you control your appetite and normalize your fat burning
physiology.
* You should eat three or four meals each day.
* Each meal should contain the same moderate amount of sugar and
fat.
* Each meal should contain some protein sources like fish, meat,
eggs, mushrooms or protein-rich seeds, and in every means be as
nutritionally complete as possible.
7. Increase your daily physical activity
Physical activity increases fat burning and will help you
control your appetite.
* Do some daily exercises of a kind that increases energy
consumption: Jogging, cycling, swimming, ball play, skiing, and
so on.
* Do also some exercises to increase your muscular volume, since
muscles will burn fat, for example weight lifting.
8. Find some new hobby or interest
If you find yourself some new hobby or leisure activity, you
will avoid boredom and the temptation to over-eat because you
are bored. Try also to do interesting activities together with
other people. The new activities will also give you less time to
only sit eating.
9. Eat healthy food to increase your fat burning capacity
It is not possible to loose weight without sticking to the above
mentioned basic fat reduction principles, but you will also
benefit from applying some measures that will increase your
ability to passively burn fat:
* Eat as natural food as possible, avoid food that has been
heavily cooked, heavily fried or chemically processed. Natural
food has its content of protein, vitamins minerals and
anti-oxidants intact, and these are necessary for the fat
burning abilities.
* Eat some raw fruit and vegetables to each meal, since these
contain vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants you need.
* You may benefit from supplements of vitamins, minerals, herbs,
anti-oxidants, as these will make your body more capable of
burning fat.
* The little fat you use in your diet, should come from sources
like olive, peanuts, canola, fish, nuts, sun-flower, etc. Then
you will get a good balance between mono-unsaturated fat (olive,
canola, and peanuts), poly-unsaturated fat of the omaga-3-type
(fish) and poly-unsaturated fat of the omega-6-type (sunflower).
* Consume whole cereals or bread made from whole unrefined
cereals.
* There are also natural products on the market you can use to
increase your break down and burning of fat.
10. Bring your appetite under control
Many of the measures already listed, will also help you to
control your appetite. If this still is difficult, this problem
may be attacked by specific means:
* You can use some medicines to reduce appetite for some time or
to reduce the uptake of fat or carbohydrates in your intestines.
There are both natural medicines based on herbs, vitamins and
minerals and pharmacological products to achieve this.
* Daily meditation can help to relax your mind and gain control.
* Psychological counseling may be necessary.
11. The ratio between fat and sugar in your diet
The total mount of fat and carbohydrates combined, is a key
factor in causing obesity, not fat alone or carbohydrates alone.
In some weight loosing regimes, one eats very little
carbohydrates, and fairly much fat. In others one eats fairly
much carbohydrates, and very little fat. The proponents of each
type of regime claim that their approach helps the body to burn
fat better.
Probably people are different, and react differently when trying
to manipulate the diet in these ways. As a first approach, it is
probably not wise to try such extreme approaches. However, if
you have brought your eating habits under control, and still not
achieved a satisfactory result, you can try to manipulate the
fat/carbohydrate ratio to see if this will help. But do not stop
consuming fat altogether. You will always need some essential
fatty acids in your diet.
CARRYING OUT YOUR PLAN
Having made your plan for your weight reduction, the time has
come to carry it out. After each week, go through the points in
your plan, and evaluate how well you did. Also check your
weight. Write down for every point in your plan how well you did.
