Weight Loss The Easy Way
from:If you cannot think of a single reason to lose weight, please
have a rethink. I can give you 4 reasons why you have to start
thinking seriously about loosing weight today:
You will feel better after shedding a few pounds. You will look
better. You will have significantly reduced your risk for high
blood pressure and diabetes. You will have more energy.
You do not need to consult a physician to determine if you are
overweight or not. You can determine if you need to lose a few
kilos right after you read this article by calculating your body
mass index (BMI). The body mass index (BMI) is calculated by
dividing your weight in kilograms by the square of your height
in meters square. If you have a BMI less than 18.5 kg/m.sq you
are underweight. If you record BMI values of between 18.5 and
24.9 kg/m.sq you have a normal weight. BMI values between 25.0
and 29.9kg/m.sq signify that you are overweight. BMI values
between 30.0 and 39.9kg/m.sq signify that you are obese. If you
record a BMI of 40.0kg/m.sq or higher, then you are severely
obese.
Measuring your waist circumference is another way of finding
out whether or not you are overweight. It is important to know
what your waist- hip ratio is as it is another way of
determining obesity.
Well now, you know what your BMI values are. If you are
overweight, obese, or severely obese, please don't panic.
Getting rid of that excess weight requires setting of sensible
goals and a commitment to make realistic changes in your
lifestyle and improve your health. Gradual weight loss should be
your rule and ultimately, your goal.
Below are some easy-to follow recommendations:
Determine from your doctor if you are healthy enough to start
loosing weight and engaging in regular physical activity.
Follow a calorie reduced but balanced diet. Fruits and
vegetables should be included in your diet as well as foods low
in saturated fat such as dairy products, lean meat, fish,
skinless poultry, and whole grain foods.
Engage in physical activity (30 minutes or more on most, if not
all days). Increase the amount of physical activity only after
you are comfortable with doing so. Brisk walking and taking the
stairs at work are some forms of regular exercise that you can
enjoy.
Consider what you stand to gain by loosing weight. Being
overweight or obese is associated with increase risk for heart
disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, degenerative arthritis,
metabolic syndrome and cancer. Lowering your weight
significantly reduces your risk for these conditions.
Avoid taking medications without consulting your doctor. There
are a lot of drugs and supplements available out there for
weight reduction. Some of them may affect your health negatively
if not properly taken. Your doctor can help determine which type
of drug is best for you.
Don't beat yourself up because you are overweight or obese. You
may have become so as a result of the kinds of food you eat,
your psychological or genetic makeup, your age and health
status, or whether or not you engage in regular physical
activity. Whatever the cause, weight loss is achievable only if
you set realistic goals for yourself.
