Weight Loss Issues

Weight loss is such a complex issue. Why do some people lose weight fast and keep it off? Why do some people lose slow? And why do some people just not lose at all? I wish I had the answer to all of these questions.
As I have studied, and struggled with my own weight loss issues, I have come across some very good information for good healthy weight loss.

• Eat at the same time everyday, as much as possible. I know that life is busy, and it is almost impossible to stop and eat at a certain time everyday. But you don't have to eat a FULL meal each time. Plan ahead to take some small meals, or healthy snacks in sandwich baggies and keep them in your purse, backpack or car. I take a hand full of nuts and a piece of fruit, or a slice of cheese and a vegetable. Just think of all the nutritious foods you like, and prepare your mini meals to eat throughout the day.
  
• Eat 4 to 6 meals a day. Eating every 2 to 2 1/2 hours a day keeps your sugar level balanced, it is easier on the digestive system and will keep your bowels moving more regularly.
• Chew your food slowly and really taste it. In this 'hurry up' world that we live in, we eat too much, too fast and we are never satisfied. If you eat slow, you will be satisfied more quickly.
• Get SOME exercise daily. You don't have to exercise 30 minutes a day everyday. Of course the more you do, the faster you will lose weight. If you can manage a 10 to 15 minute walk one to three times a day, you WILL notice the transition from fat to muscle. REMEMBER, muscle burns fat, and if you are moving those muscles, you are burning fat.
  
• Don't eat processed food. They have chemicals, preservatives, food colorings and fillers that have NO nutrition, and empty calories that just make you FAT.
  

YOU NEED FOOD FULL OF LIVE ENZYMES AND NUTRITION.

Focus on GOOD HEALTH, along with your WEIGHT LOSS. That doesn't mean you can't treat yourself once in a while to a piece of cake, or piece of chocolate, or a cookie. You should set aside 1 day that you can have a treat, just be careful and be wise.
