I Believe Anyone Can Lose Weight

-


Losing weight is a lot like deciding to stop smoking. If you think about it, Someone trying to lose weight has the same problem as someone trying to quit smoking. Both are an addiction and both people are trying to make a change. Change their lives and kick the habit. With food the addiction is not eating, it’s really the addiction to sugar, sodium, and other chemicals in processed foods.  The addiction will create hunger, but you’re not really hungry you’re going through a withdrawal from your addiction. You think you're hungry, so you eat and you feel better, but really you just feed your addiction to sugar or whatever chemical caused the cravings and eating supply that need and now you feel better. Of course, you probably consumed a few hundred calories.

Losing weight has to start by changing your diet and counting calories. If you change to a fresh diet, eating only fresh foods and changing the times you eat, you can lose weight, it’s not rocket science. When everything I tried, failed, I read this article about eating several small meals instead of the traditional 3 meals a day. It made sense to me and I tried it.

I was eating 5 meals a day. I had to leave for work early so I started by eating breakfast at 6 a.m. You can’t eat much if you're going to eat every 3 hours. So, I’d eat about 300 calories. Black coffee and a bowl of oatmeal with some fruit. 9 a.m. I’d eat again, the same amount of calories every time, 300. I’d have a cheese sandwich with whole-grain bread and a bottle of water. You can vary this any way you’d like. 3p.m., I’d have yogurt and fruit and another bottle of water. 6 p.m., I’d have fish and a salad with lemon and olive oil and iced tea. I like to save my calories for food and not drinks. I drink black coffee, iced tea plain or cold water, no calories there. I ate 5 times with a total of 1500 calories. The trick for me was to eat every 3 hours and I was never hungry.  If I needed something before bed, I’d have another yogurt cup.

I take my food choices from the food pyramid, you can find it online or on my other website: blogonlosingweight.blogspot.com. Anyone can lose weight if they really want to. If you have been spending money on all those so-called diets and just can’t afford it anymore, it doesn’t cost money to lose weight.

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 ...
