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.

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.

This is interesting, I just read that low levels of vitamin D in your system can actually keep overweight people from losing weight. O.K., we know now that we can get vitamin D from the sun, but that dark skinned people and even people with a dark tan won't absorb as much "D" as light skinned people. Vitamin D from the sun is a bonus anyway, the sun can't give you too much. So now your diet and supplements will become important. The body needs vitamin D, it's important for weight loss, but also helps to ward off a long list of diseases including cancer. So how do we put more vitamin D in our diet? Diary products and eggs all contain "D". Some fish and vegetables contain Vitamin D and supplements in the vitamin section of your drug store or grocery store. Food is really the best way for your body to absorb any vitamin. There are foods like salmon and egg yolks that contain "D" naturally and some like milk and cheese that are fortified with vit...
