Lose Weight – The Healthy Way

author Posted by: Chuck Griffin on date Aug 31st, 2008 | filed Filed under: lose weight



Lose Weight in a healthy way


It is a fact as a society we are overweight and it seems to be getting worse. Most people want to lose weight fast because generally speaking they want to reach their target weight as quickly as possible, they then go back to their old way of eating. What many people don’t realize is that if you lose weight fast the chances are you will gain weight just as fast when you have finished your diet.


If you have ever done a search on Google for weight loss or lose weight programs, there are millions of search results. There are many diets available that promise the most amazing results. A recent diet called Fat Loss 4 Idiots, promises a weight loss of 9lb over the 11 days of the diet. What they do not tell you is that that 9lb will not be fat loss. It is only possible to lose 2lb of fat per week. The remainder of the weight loss will either be water or muscle.


You need to have balance in any type of weight loss program you do. If you really want to lose weight more quickly, then you need to change your perception of the word fast in this context. A weight loss of 2lb per week on a regular basis would mean that you would lose approximately 16lb over a 2 month period. If you have dieted sensibly and consistently then you will have lost 16lb of fat and will be far more likely to keep that weight off.


A diet that promises that you will lose weight fast is manipulating you into believing it is the answer to your prayers. We live in a world of fast food, fast cars, fast everything. We want a quick fix and we are not prepared to go to the trouble of doing things the way nature intended. The chances are you did not put 9lbs worth of fat on in 11 days so equally the chances are you won’t be able to lose 9lbs worth of fat in 11 days.


Remember, lose weight Fast – is just a gimmick – but doubtless many will fall for it and many will truly believe they have lost 9lbs of fat in 11 days. Take time and do your research and check with your health care provider to ensure you have all of your questions answered that it is safe.


Weight loss should be approached hand in hand with healthy eating. Well balanced nutritious food eaten on a regular basis, in conjunction with a moderate exercise plan is the best way to lose weight and keep it off. This is a diet for life not a diet for 11 days.


It is vital that any weight loss diet teaches you how to change the bad eating habits that have caused you to be overweight. This is about re educating your taste buds and changing your dietary habits.


One final comment on losing weight. The question you need to ask yourself is do I want to lose weight fast and risk putting it back on just as quickly or do I want to lose weight more slowly knowing that I am more likely to keep it off in the long term?

So you finally decided its time to get into shape! Your looking to lose weight, what do you do? How and where do you start? The first place you may go is to the internet, and do a some research. In the Google search bar you type LOSE WEIGHT.
Google returns a list as follows this is a fraction of what returns:


  • How to lose weight fast?

  • How to lose weight?

  • How to lose 20 lbs of fat in 30 days?

  • The lose weight diet.

  • How can I lose weight safely?

  • Over weight and Obesity.

  • Soyouwanna lose weight

  • How to lose weight with out losing bone?

  • Blog Post about lose weight

  • Book results for lose weight

I was surprised in some respects, that Google returns 25,600,000 results on lose weight. You can spend hours reviewing the information returned from the Google search. Yes it is a lot of information to be digested if you can get to it. You will select what interests you. Hey, just look at society in general and the sad reality is the majority of people in North America are overweight.


Always take your time in evaluating the various programs out there. Stay away from programs promoting 5 or 10 pounds in your first week. Those can be dangerous. In my opinion you need to be careful when selecting a program to follow. After reviewing and selecting a program you want to follow, speak with your Doctor. If you have any medical challenges they can help reduce complications in dieting. There is so much out there that you may not know where there may be reactions to specific diets on lose weight. Your Doctor may not know but they see all types of challenges from lose weight diets. Chemical reactions from diets can create minor to major problems. You should consult with a professional when you lose weight that is my opinion.


The population today is so weight loss conscious, it is approximately a 40 plus multi billion dollar industry. Being weight conscious has created many problems for people even death. So when you plan to lose weight you don’t want to become a statistic. Newspapers have carried all sorts of articles about people that lose weight outside a controlled environment.

There are some really good programs out there, but just do your research and ask lots of questions before starting any program. For additional information on a weight loss program contact me at:

Tips to Lose Weight

Tips to Lose Weight and Stay Healthy


It depends on a number of factors whether or not you gain or lose weight easily. Most people just tend to consume the wrong types of food. Just check out any of the government statistics and that will tell the tale of how unhealthy we as a society really are becoming. Generally most people think eating 3 or 4 times during the day will make you gain weight, but that isn’t necessarily true. You can actually help yourself by eating more.


I have found that eating more, but smaller portions will actually help you lose weight. When you starve yourself, your body switches to survival mode. Try eating vegetables with a starch or your vegetable with a protein. Don’t combine all three food groups. Eat more whole grain cereals like oatmeal or bran flakes. Choose low fat or nonfat milk, yogurt, cheese and cottage cheese.


Losing weight on a starvation diet can cause you to go over the edge and almost starve.


Eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia are the extreme edge of our society’s dieting mania, and are recognized as being a mental health issue. But most weight issues, like losing weight are about emotional as much as physical health. Your physical health can improve by eating plenty of blueberries, cherries and blackberries. This will promote you health and give your skin a huge increase in antioxidants. What you eat, how much you eat and how often you eat does affect losing weight. You should eat only until you are satisfied.


Eating Healthy is just one of the natural and healthy ways to lose weight fast. Try eating a variety of healthy food choices and eat small meals more often. A minimum of at least 3 meals and 2 snacks daily would be just fine. It’s much easier to digest and you won’t have time to get famished. Eating lots of foods rich in fiber helps keep food moving through your bowels. Just like water, fiber rich foods bulk you up and make you feel full.


I have found drinking a liter and a half of water when you wake up every morning does wonders for your health. Better to do this before you brush your teeth or eat. You will be pleased with the results. Your digestive system will love it and you will be rewarded with regular bowel movements as well as losing weight. If you start eating healthy to lose weight, then over time you will start to shed those unhealthy pounds. Another losing weight tip; start your day each day with a cup of boiled water with a slice of fresh lemon in it. Put the lemon in the cup and pour the boiling water over it and don’t eat anything for at least an hour.


Often people seem to over look keeping things simple. For your good health and well-being, eat right, exercise regularly and drink plenty of water. Be good to yourself. Do not over complicate losing weight. It really is a lot of common sense, but it is all about balance in life is my philosophy to lose weight.

Lose weight


Achieving your ideal weight can be so frustrating for many people. Too often people will reach a goal and then before they know it, the pounds are put back on. Most of us have been there on that roller coaster ride. Up and down, up and down. We all know that there are countless different diets available and many of them do help people with some lose weight. However, in many cases the resulting lose weight is only temporary. Why is this the case? In my opinion, dieting only addresses part of the problem.


Can lose weight really be permanent? Of course it can but it takes more than what we call a diet to achieve permanent lose weight. Many different strategies have been developed that can help us on our journey to lose weight and maintain that loss. What works for some people may not work for others, but be assured that there is a plan that will work for you. Find a lose weight plan that you feel is the one for you and make it work. You may have to adjust it to meet your particular needs but what ever you must do, it can be done.


We all know that our diet is one of the most important aspects of any lose weight program. It is so important that it alone can be a significant factor as to whether or not you will have long term lose weight and be able to maintain that lose weight. Research over the years has certainly been able to pinpoint just how much exercise is required to be beneficial in our attempts to lose weight. Most exercise experts will agree that at you should exercise at least thirty minutes per day, five days a week. This amount of exercise has been found to be beneficial in acquiring and maintaining lose weight.


Make sure that you keep your exercises varied and something you enjoy. The quickest way to get away from exercising is to be doing something you dislike. Another tip to help keep exercising interesting is to do it with a friend. Or even join a gym. One is more apt to continue a program when there are others that can lend support. There is truth to the old saying about strength in numbers.


Once you begin to notice the changes in your body from exercising you will be amazed at what you can accomplish. There are so many positive benefits resulting from exercising with lose weight being the main one. But you will also begin to feel better overall. Your attitude and outlook on things will begin to change. You will start to feel better about yourself in general. And the compliments you get from others on how well you look also are nice to hear. If you really desire to lose weight you can do it. Just take action and stick to it.

Healthy Weight Loss – A Grain That Can Build Bones

Healthy Weight Loss – A Grain That Can Build Bones


When we think of weight loss we think of calories and fats but total nutrition is a key to healthy weight loss. Changing our habits is a difficult task, not just our lives, for those of us older and hopefully wiser, but those younger have often never even tasted ‘real’ foods.


I grew up on white bread, mashed potatoes and white rice. These were considered ‘luxury items at the time. Must say they did something for me. I became round as a butter ball. Obviously weight loss was not part of the plan. But on leaving home in the late 1960’s I was amazed at all the wonderful fresh foods, whole grains, organics and such that were a wave of nutritional statements of the times.


The food we grew or raised tasted so much better. Things like carrots and other vegetables became sweet, honey tasted much better than sugar and breads had a fresh taste and texture. Weight loss issues became much less of a problem Going out with my gardening basket in hand and picking here and there what we would have for dinner was a real treat and it still is some 38+ years later. We were reverting to what our great-grandmothers already knew. Homemade is always better; not only nutritionally but for the love that goes into the cooking as well. Are you aware of the difference about Brown Rice which was and still is a staple in our home? Why my hubby always says,,,, hey gal, where’s the rice? Grin!


Unlike White rice, or instant rice, Brown rice contains one of the best kept secrets of bone health: magnesium. Yes, calcium is still a key when it comes to keeping bones strong. But magnesium — something lots of older adults don’t get enough of — is another bone builder your body needs. And brown rice is a great source of magnesium.


There are 3 Bone Builders for optimal bone health and it is recommended the following daily amounts for healthy people: Calcium: 1,200 milligrams (mg) of calcium per day (broken up into three doses a day) Vitamin D: 400 international units (IU) per day (as a supplement) if you’re under age 70 or 600 IU per day if you’re over age 70 Magnesium: 400 mg per day for women and 333 mg per day for men.


More Foods for Your Frame – Soy lovers also get a good amount of magnesium, but if tofu isn’t your thing, opt not only for brown rice but also for spinach and other green leafy vegetables; salmon; fortified cereals; whole-wheat pasta; oatmeal; and cashews. Good nutrition and weight loss or weigh maintenance is dependent on healthy eating.


Brown rice doesn’t have to be dull. There are flavorful varieties out there, including jasmine, basmati, and Wehani brown rice — a reddish-brown rice with a fantastic hot-buttery-popcorn flavor that livens up any meal.” -by Real Age and Smart Nutrition


One of my favorite is cooked Brown Rice, add raw cashews and stir fry with some slices of assorted vegetables. We always keep a bowl of Brown Rice ready to add to any meal. I believe that although it is best to get our nutritional needs met through natural foods; that is not always possible. I recommend a high quality nutritional supplementation program with any weight loss plan coupled with as much natural foods as possible. When you can, don’t cook it, eat it fresh and as fresh from the garden as passable.
