The "Eating Well" Files
North Americans have a "love/hate" relationship with their body weight, but it doesn't stop there.
Along with our very busy schedules and active lifestyles, we sometimes need a push in the right direction.
Different Ideas behind Slimming Down and Good Food.
There is incredible amount information and of volumes of detail out there when it comes to losing those unwanted pounds.
It's just a matter of how you go about searching for the right data.
Is there a difference between good food and food that is good for us?...
Yes, as a matter of fact there is.
I once believe that if any food came from a farm, well, it just had to be good for you.
Now we know this is not necessarily true.
A great example of this is bacon.
If a person were to eat too much bacon over the span of their lifetime, that individual would invariably develop clogging of the arteries and then be prone to heart attacks, not to mention other health issues.
However, treating your-self to a couple of slices of bacon a few times year, will not do very much harm and yet you still get enjoy the succulent taste of bacon.
Fruit on the other hand can help you achieve your weight loss goals.
Oh sure, fruits are grown on farms, but don't' let that deter from understanding the truth, lol.
You'll find an entire article on how fruits and how they can put you on the right path to weight loss, else where on this website as well.
Some of the best foods are close by.
The whole idea of changing your diet completely around can be a deception.
Okay, it won't be completely easy but it's totally do-able.
The good news is that this can be a slow and gradual change that does not have to take place over night.
It can start as simply as bringing more vegetables and tasty fruits home from the grocery store.
Eating more fruits and vegetables not only supply you with the much-needed vitamins and minerals, but it also is a power way of fighting some diseases.
Even though the statistics tell us that North Americans are generally not in good shape, the concept of good nutrition is not completely lost on us.
It's just that good nutrition isn't always practiced enough in our society and education is the key for us to break though.
Only 25% of North Americans eat the right number of fruits and vegetables throughout the day.
Health benefits that will follow.
Research has proven that women who are able to lose 20 pounds cut the risk of developing diabetes and men who lose the same amount of weight greatly reduce the risk of heart attacks.
As a general rule, humans gain weight as we age.
Adding a small amount of weight over the years is not something to be overly concerned with.
Problems can begin when a person will gain 20 pounds quickly.
This can increase your chances of experiencing an unwanted event, such as a heart attack.
And women double the risk of dying from cancer if they do not get their weight under control.
If your consider yourself a procrastinator, like so many of us are, not do put this life saving plan off for another day.
Over All Motivation.
Maintaining your motivation can one of the most challenging aspects of losing weight.
It's only normal to have ups and downs as you move forward.
One day you seem to be feeling amazing about your new weight loss plan, the next day; you have seemed to have lost sight of why you are even doing this.
Understand that many people around the planet go through the same thing and has exact same confidence problems as you.
So what the secret? Well it is just a matter of perseverance.
If you have one day or a couple of days in a row where you don't stick to your guns, don't beat yourself up about it.
Just get back on the horse (weight loss program) and realize that with a renewed sense of propose, you will reach your goals.
