The answer is:  While the issue of being overweight and obese receives plenty of lip service, the facts show the problem is worsening.

 Perhaps these commentaries are adding to the cacophony.  But, if the few of you, who are willing to take this information to heart, take action the project has value.

 Frankly, why anyone could possibly confuse fast, convenient and packaged products, masquerading as food, with the “real stuff” is mystifying. 

 Also, these commentaries were intended to dispel the amorphous picture of health that has been concocted by advertisers to sell products.  Health is not an emaciated person cavorting on the beach; nor the slogan “Big is beautiful.”  Health is arising to greet the day – not dreading the hours you’re awake.

The situation is bad enough when people choose, knowingly or unknowingly, to commit dietary suicide – but, when they condemn their children to shorter lives, with more suffering, it must change.

 And, don’t confuse these writings with some projection of gloom and doom – or worse yet, a call for action from a governmental agency – they are a plea to your better senses.

 Please, stop teaching your children your bad dietary habits and, if you can, change your ways, too.  It is easier to lead by example than to brow beat your kids into eating something you don’t eat.

 Time is the great equalizer.  When you begin dreading the hours, you can’t say you weren’t advised.

 Here is a good place to start changing the way thing are in your life.

 Introduction

The unvarnished truth is:  there are at least 4 generations of adults, who are facing an early grave – and taking their children with them – because they are overweight or obese!

 And, for most of them, death will be preceded by an extended period of suffering brought on by Diabetes, Coronary Disease, Heart Attack, Stroke, Failing Joints and/or Cancer.

 Discussion

“The U.S. could be facing its first sustained drop in life expectancy in the modern era,  . . . but this decline is not inevitable if Americans — particularly younger ones — trim their waistlines or if other improvements outweigh the impact of obesity.” (The New England Journal of Medicine, March 17, 2005.)

 The authors report that, unless steps are taken to curb excessive weight gain, younger Americans will likely face a greater risk of mortality throughout life than previous generations.

 “Over the next few decades, life expectancy for the average American could decline  . . . unless aggressive efforts are made to slow rising rates of obesity.” according to a team of scientists supported in part by the National Institute on Aging (NIA), a component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) of the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS).

 “This work paints a disturbing portrait of the potential effect that life styles of baby boomers and the next generation could have on life expectancy,” reports Richard M. Suzman, Ph.D., Associate Director of the NIA for Behavioral and Social Research.

 Indeed, Suzman notes, obesity may already have had an effect. The sharp increase of obesity among people now in their 60s, he suggests, may be one explanation why the gains in U.S. life expectancy at older ages have been less than those of other developed countries in recent years.

 According to the NEJM report, studies suggest that two-thirds of American adults are overweight or obese.  One study cited by the authors indicates that the prevalence of obesity in U.S. adults has increased about 50 percent per decade since 1980.

 Additional research has shown that people who are severely obese live up to 20 years less than people who are not overweight. Some researchers have estimated that obesity causes about 300,000 deaths in the U.S. annually.

 In addition, obesity is fueling an epidemic of type 2 Diabetes (which also reduces people’s lifespan.)

 “These trends suggest that the relative influence of obesity on the life expectancy of future generations could be markedly worse than it is for current generations,” Olshansky and the authors conclude in their report.

 “In other words, the life-shortening effect of obesity could continue to rise … in the coming decades, as the people who are now at younger ages carry their elevated risk of death associated with being overweight or obese, into middle and older ages.”¹

People, who are overweight, or obese, should not need another lecture.

What they need is a reliable, affordable way to lose weight.

 Here it is … “To change the way things are, you change the things you do.”

 Treat Your Body With Respect:

 Eat three meals each day

• Eat breakfast - and make sure it is nutritious not something you pick up on the way to work!
• Eat copious quantities of vegetables (5 –7 baseball-sized servings, differently colored)
• Reduce meat consumption to about the size of a deck of cards – once a day – red meat once a week.
• Reduce snacks – between meals and at work-breaks.  Eliminate them completely, once you have overcome your addiction.  The University of Michigan, Integrative Medicine Department explains why.

Rule to Live By:  If you don’t buy it, you can’t eat it.

 Exercise moderately for about 10 minutes each, morning and night.  Walking is hard to beat!

 Get Organized

• Multitasking means you are doing several things, at the same time, poorly.
• Leave your problems at home.
• Leave your work at work.
• Go to sleep at a reasonable hour.

 Grow Up

• Find the discipline to change your ways.

Rule to Live by:  You’re the culprit – not a victim

• Stop teaching your kids the same mistakes.

Rule to Live By:  If you don’t buy it, they can’t eat it.

Fix What You Have Broken

People who are overweight, or obese, manifest some or all of the following situations:

• Malnutrition
• Mineral Deficiency
• Irregular Bathroom Habits
• Suppressed Metabolism manifesting as lack of energy and/or irregular sleep with diminished cellular regeneration and detoxification.

This is precisely where dietary supplements fit the equations for losing weight.  And don’t scrimp!  That fancy coffee you used to drink every morning costs $6.00 – simply reinvest that money for something that will benefit you instead of the coffee house.

The objectives are:

• Fill your body with as much basic nutrition as possible to make up for the years of neglect so your body can begin healing itself.
• Eliminate the accumulated debris inside your intestinal tract and the toxins inside your body.  These are the barriers for healing and the source of frustration when it seems your weight loss program isn’t working.
• Support the two metabolisms, catabolic (daytime) and anabolic (nighttime) that power your body.

Conclusion

The issues of being overweight or obese have been studied and talked about ad nauseam.  All the warnings, contained in thousands of reports, Government programs and even prohibitions, whether national, local or in your child’s school are doomed to fail.   Why – because no one personalizes the issue.

You look at a kid who is overweight eating a snack, and see a fat kid whose parents should be doing something.  You look at your own child, in the same circumstance, and see “big bones” and deserving of a treat.  Or, you see a “muffin top”, in unsightly cloths and shake your head.  You see yourself as full figured or barrel-chested.

You make excuses for your decisions:  something quick, something easy, something nice, a nice treat, something, something, something.

Then, if you do decide to take responsibility for the mess you’ve made, you choose a short-term “fix” that once you stop:  starving yourself, exercising to extreme, weighing in, taking shots, popping pills, etc. puts you right back where you started – except your wallet is lighter.

It is your life – it is your choice.  If you want to change the way things are you must change the things you do – forever.

Implement the “Do as I do” rule.  Concern yourself with you, then move on to your spouse, then to your kids.

Stop making excuses – start taking action.

The answer is always:  Some can but none will.  You are probably asking yourself:  “What?”

The answer revolves around a simple concept.

All food contains energy (calories) that fuels your body along with nutrition (protein, healthy fats, vitamins, minerals and water) that feeds your body.  In a perfect world, you would be consuming a diet that creates two equations that zero out – which is the basis for the balanced diet.

The equation would be:
Energy expended = Energy consumed
Nutritional needs = Nutrition consumed produces a healthy, energetic body

An out of balance equation produces predictable outcomes.

When the energy expended is less than the energy consumed the equation is:
Energy expended + FAT = Energy consumed

When the nutritional needs are less than the nutrition consumed the equation is:
Nutritional needs + UNHEALTHY = nutrition consumed

Mathematicians are likely pulling their hair out, but the point is when you are making balanced choices, you will experience the preferred outcome.

The report on obesity further indicated that most obese people are malnourished, which would seem to be an oxymoron.  However, if you consider the amount of package, process and fast food (and their food values) that is consumed today, the findings in the report are easy to understand.

The conclusion, in the report, is that 2/3 of the population is fat, malnourished, less healthy and likely to die sooner than any generation before them.

Finding the Silver Bullet

This is the precise population that is searching for silver bullets; natural, pharmaceutical or medical, to substitute for their judgment.  Writing from my perspective (I’m not a Medical Doctor or Pharmacist), these people should balance the equation by choosing whole food, drinking water, exercise and rest.  All of the excuses in the world will not change the inevitable outcome.

The good news is that, once they are doing the best they can, supplements can help fill the gap in the equation.

Some Can But None Will

In the final equation, you must change the things you do to change the way things are.

Question:  “So happy to enjoy such a insightful article “How to lose weight with diet pills” that does not depend on base posturing to get the topic fulfilled. Thank you for an enjoyable read.

2 questions: What kind of diet should I go with? I need to get some kind of workout what kind of exercises should I get into? Your input is appreciated.”

Response:  Your questions regarding diet is one I hear often. The key a healthy diet, and successful, long-term weight management is to avoid high calorie/empty nutrition food. The most common culprits are soda, snacks, convenience and fast food, processed and packaged food.

The answer is explained elegantly here:
http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/what-should-you-eat

The short version is: eat 7-9 servings of differently colored, fresh vegetables that grow above ground, a serving of about the size of a deck of cards of fish or poultry each day, a serving about the size of a deck of cards of red once a week, with limited, (if not eliminated) amounts of milk and milk products, white flour (processed wheat, rice and oats), sugar, fruit juice and tropical fruits and vegetables that grow underground.

And drink water; at least 8 – 8 ounce glasses each day. Preferably, you can determine optimum hydration by dividing your body weight by two for the number of ounces of water to drink each day.

Exercise is important, but strenuous exercise takes a toll on your body. I’m a fan of walking for about 15 minutes a day. The important thing to remember is to vary the pace – start normally then speed up until you feel your body compensating, then slow down, speed up, slow down.

 Also, landing your foot into the arches is important, so shorten your stride. Many people over-stride when they walk which causes excess impact force that radiates from the heel of the foot all the way up through your spine.

Finally, considering a weight management supplement may be appropriate.  I’m not a fan of many of the supplements on the market because they simply focus on using high amounts of natural stimulants to raise waking time metabolism. 

Therefore, my Company approaches the issue of weight management supplements on an around-the-clock basis by restoring the efficiency both daytime and nighttime glucose utilizing.  By default, the regime is intended to promote and maintain efficient metabolism that, in turn, will address healthy weight management.

Thanks for asking these important questions.  In the end, it is your life,  the choice is yours to make.

How healthy are you?  Take the test.

What Are Diet Pills? People think diet are pills to take while exercising vigorously, eating less food and skipping meals to lose weight.Nothing could be further from the truth! Eating too little and skipping meals will guarantee that once you stop “dieting”, even when you are taking diet pills, you gain the weight back – sometimes even more weight before you started the diet because starving yourself will slow down the way you burn fat.What Can Diet Pills Do? Diet pills are dietary supplements that help individuals lose weight.  It’s that simple. They can be taken to assist in controlling appetite, stop cravings, manage between meal snacking, boost metabolism and increase energy and to help you lose weight, burn fat, firm and tone the body.  In short, diet pills are really weight loss supplements that help people lose weight and keep it off once it is gone. Who Should Take Weight Loss Supplements? People use weight loss supplements for several reasons:  reduce appetite, control cravings, increase energy, firm and tone their bodies and, most importantly, to lose weight. They are typically one of two types of people.  They are either people who want to lose weight or they are health-conscious individuals who want more energy with a more firm, toned body. They share a simple objective: to feel good and look great.  The aim is to take diet pills to improve the way they look and to promote and maintain overall physical health.

What Are the Side Affects? Weight loss supplements have clear outcomes, both positive and negative. On the positive side, they provide people with exceptional weight loss results. On the negative side, weight loss pills are formulated to increase energy and control appetite.  People who use diet pills in excess or fail to eat enough food can cause harm or disappointment.

How to Lose Weight with Diet Pills

Eat More Food to Lose Weight. The first rule of a successful weight loss program is:  Eat three meals a day to lose weight.The first step, in your successful weight loss diet program, is to stop eating empty calorie white food.  These foods include:  white flour products like white bread, breakfast cereals and pasta, other processed grains like white rice and quick oats, sugar and sweet fruits, starches from vegetables that grow underground (like potatoes, carrots and beets), milk and milk products.Start eating whole grain products like rolled oats, vegetables that grow above ground and other whole foods that haven’t been processed and preserved. The second step is to start eating to lose weight. Breakfast is the most commonly skipped meal, yet it is the most important.  The Perfect Breakfast is well, perfect.  With the aid of a morning daytime weight management supplement, The Perfect Breakfast will feed your body everything it needs to get you to lunch – with plenty of energy and no cravings. Eat a hearty, healthy mid-day meal, along with taking another daytime weight management supplement, that satisfies your appetite until your evening meal. Even though you might not be hungry, eat your evening meal as early as possible. If you must crunch on something after dinner, try eating a baseball sized apple, sliced and topped with a small amount of sea salt.  For around the clock weight loss, take a nighttime weight management supplement right before going to bed. The third step is to drink water. First of all, it is the perfect beverage to hydrate your body.  Believe it or not, the signal to drink water and the hunger signal are easily confused.  If you think you are hungry, try drinking a glass of water first.  You should be drinking 8 – 8 ounce glasses of water everyday.  Plus, water helps flush away the residue that is left over when you are burning fat.
