Willpower Equals Weight Loss

-

 From my own experience and my daughters, until you have the willpower to make a permanent change in your lifestyle and the food your eating, your weight will only change temporarily. I'm a senior now and have finally lost most of my body fat and I'm thin, active, and healthy. I'm 6'1" and weigh 160, I bike 3 days a week and walk on the other days. I feel great, actually never felt better. 

My daughter had gained some 40 pounds when she was in her 40's, and after turning 50 decided she had to do something to lose it. I know she had an uphill battle because she doesn't exercise and has a bad back. I'm so proud of her because she lost that 40 pounds in less than 2 years, and did it by changing her diet and never cheating. She stuck to a strict diet of mostly meat and vegetables and salads. She cut her calories in half by eating fresh foods with fewer calories. 

She did continue to drink wine but cut alcohol consumption in half. She cut out other drinks except for water and coffee. Drinking a gallon of water every day helped me lose weight. Water cleans the toxins from your body and reduces hunger pains. She also ate at home preparing her own food. Preparing your own food from scratch so you know what you're eating helps you lose weight.  

At one point my daughter weighed nearly 170 pounds and now she weighs 128. I used to worry about her every day because those extra pounds of excess fat can cause all types of health problems but today she's much happier, She can wear more of the trendy clothes the young people wear and she looks 10 years younger.

The Mediterranean diet is based on the traditional foods eaten by people living in the Mediterranean region, especially Greece. It's loaded with healthy foods and research findings suggest following this diet may help reduce some of the risk factors for heart disease.  According to the Oldways Preservation & Exchange Trust, the Mediterranean diet was introduced in 1993 by Oldways, Harvard School of Public Health and the World Health Organization.  The diet includes: Olives and olive oil Whole grains, mostly in bread and cereal rather than pasta Very little red meat Fish and seafood Some cheese, but less milk Lots of vegetables and fruit Plenty of legumes and nuts A little red wine The Mediterranean diet is high in fiber and antioxidants from vegetables, legumes and nuts, far greater than the typical Western diet, and low in saturated fat.

Changing Your Life To Lose Weight

I can let you in on the ultimate secret for successfully making a change in your life. A century’s worth of psychological research reveals an interesting paradox in who we are. On the one hand, once we reach adulthood our basic personalities remain unchanged for the rest of our lives. We keep doing the same things—and feeling the same ways—over and over. But, on the other hand, every day we change our behavior drastically in response to different environments. Most of us are one person at work, for example, and another person at home. It is easier to change our environment than to change ourselves. So, if you want to change yourself, change your environment. Said differently: Whenever possible, don’t try to fight temptations – avoid them! The easiest way to make a change in your life is to modify the world around you in ways that will naturally drive you toward making, and maintaining, the change you want. There are many ways to change your environment, but let’s focus

Cancer and High Protein Diets

-
On the Fox TV Network the other night, one of the big stories was about high protein diets. A new study has shown a link between the over consumption of animal protein and how it can stimulate the growth of cancer cells. It seems we all have cancer cells but they don’t normally grow, unless we consume too much animal fat, dairy or fats from processed foods. Before I continue I want to explain about the link to cancer. After all, Man has been eating red meat for millions of years, right. That's true but todays red meat is not the same. Most red meat that we buy in the supermarket comes from Steers that have been raised in feed lots on a grain diet that is full of hormones and other chemicals that shorten the growing time and put more fat on the animal. These hormones and other chemicals stay in the meat and what you're buying will contain the chemicals that the animal ate. Normally a grass feed Steer that lives on the range in big herds will take 18 to 20 months to grow to
