If you are planning to lose weight then what you need to do is ensure your activities allow you the time to lose weight over a long period of time. The concept of crash dieting is flawed because its effects cannot be sustained and it is potentially very dangerous for the body to lose a lot of weight in a short period of time. The correct way to lose weight is to follow a sensible plan that will allow for gradual weight loss over a period of months. This article gives an insight into why diet and exercise are crucial in helping you to start losing weight, but do not expect results now. These tips will work but they take patience.

The first change to your life style that you should make is to begin a daily exercise routine. This does not mean that you should pressurize yourself into running 10 kilometers within a week. The important factor is to begin an exercise program that encourages you to burn the calories and to make this a regular occurrence. Random exercise will not help you to lose weight, instead you should decide to start walking for 30 minutes a day and then over a period of weeks gradually increase the distance and then perhaps start to jog for a similar time period.

If you struggle to motivate yourself to begin walking and jogging then regular swimming or playing sports can be just as rewarding.

Whilst you are improving your physical health, it is important also to focus on what you eat. Exercise is important when it comes to losing weight, but its effects are greatly diminished if you do not address your eating habits.

Just like exercise it is important to make dietary changes gradually otherwise you are likely to struggle to stay positive after a few weeks. So you can start by analyzing you’re eating patterns for a typical week and then look to reduce some of those foods with high calories with something that is still appetizing but has a lower calorie count. This works if done gradually. It is important that you do not associate a diet with punishment and if you suddenly decide to cut pizza and burgers from your diet altogether then it will not be long before you quit the diet.

If you can introduce water to your diet then you will give your weight loss plan a massive boost. Mineral water contains no calories and will help to keep the body hydrated for your exercise routine. If you are in the office during the day it is easy to go to the vending machine and get a soft drink or coffee. Instead you should try to drink more water to help your weight loss plan.

Likewise you need to slowly replace confectionery, crisps and other high calorie snacks with lots of fruit. Eating an apple or orange will provide a supply of energy and is full of nutrients that the body needs. They are also low in calories.

This is all it takes. If you have tried countless weight loss plans then this advice is for you. Losing weight can be achieved through discipline and patience. By deciding to gradually increase your exercise routine whilst simultaneous changing your diet to include lower calorie food over a period of months you are sure to see results.

Are You a Big Mac or a Green Smoothie?
By Erilyn Littlefield

When I was a kid there was a school lunch slogan “You are what you eat.” If that were true what are you: a Big Mac or a smoothie?

Lets look at a typical fast food meal: Big Mac, fries and a soda. It is processed, full of fat, sugar, preservatives, and flavorings.

A guy, who despised fast food, was brought a Big Mac. He forgot about it for a week or so. Then he pulled it out and it looked just the same. It was a little harder, but no rotting or growth on it. He has now kept it for over seven years, to show his students.

Fries are made from potatoes. Although they are a vegetable they are full of starch and simple carbohydrates that spike blood sugar. It is fried in hydrogenated oils and full of natural flavoring another word for MSG. MSG is a fattening addictive excito-toxin.

Liquids are very easy for the body to process they quickly go into the blood stream and enter each of our cells. So if you are drinking soda you are quickly adding sugar to your body. Soda is also very acidic. In fact I have read that Coke can dissolve nails.

What happens if you leave most food out too long? Parasites such as maggots and mold begin to grow on it. They thrive off of other living organisms. Nutrition from food can and will be extracted by our bodies or parasites to help them grow. So foods that can be left out without anything growing on it obviously do not have any nutrition.

Green smoothies on the other hand are typically full of vegetables and fruit. If you want to make them even more nutritious you can add yogurt, nuts, tofu, wheat germ, etc. Smoothies could be the best source of nutrition and they are full of fiber. It is a great way to get your fruits and vegetables without adding all of the fattening salad dressing or toppings.

Nutrition comes from living plants and animals. Fruits and vegetables are the best. They are lower in fat and are easier to digest. Cooking depletes vitamins so the closer it is too raw the healthier. Smoothies are full of raw ingredients, so what could be healthier?

Homemade soups are a close second in nutritional value since boiling captures most of the escaping nutrients in the broth. Salads are good except for the salad dressing. Most store bought salad dressing is full of fat, sugar, and preservatives. Unprocessed foods of any kind are more nutritious.

We must give our body something to work with if we want it to take care of us. Most of us are not underfed, but we are under nourished. Our bodies get sick trying to deal with all of the unhealthy substances we take in. To maintain or restore our health we need to nourish our cells. We can either eat mostly raw foods, in abundance, or we can supplement. However not all supplements are created equal.

I have heard that some tablets never fully dissolve. That may be because they are either synthetic or full of binders and fillers to solidify them. Synthetic vitamins are another way of substituting nature with a poor imitation: like the Big Mac. If it’s not natural it’s not good for you!

The best supplements come from whole foods and are in a liquid form. It is the plant substance without the fiber. This way our bodies can quickly get the nutrition to each cell via the blood stream.

Say you are driving your nice new BMW and it starts to slow down and sputter to a stop. It is not unlike our body getting sick and tired from not getting what it needs. Now, would you feed it a Big Mac or a green smoothie?

I have been in the health care field for over 20 years. I am fed up with our the FDA and other health organizations taking advantage of us and making us sick. I started a website and newsletter to help people improve their health safely.
