Nutrition
and Weight Loss
Fortunately,
people are beginning to realize that weight control is a very individual
problem. For example, as we age our body chemistry changes and requires
that we take a very different approach to weight loss in our
mid-years. A diet that may work for a 25-year-old is not likely
to work, in the long term, for a 45-year-old. As well, there are
a number of nutritionally-related imbalances that may cause obesity,
such as slow metablolism and thyroid imbalance, sluggish liver,
blood sugar imbalance, poor digestion and elimination, overeating
(especially the wrong kinds of foods), or a combination of any of
these. Correcting nutritionally-related problems such as these makes
achieving a lifelong healthy weight possible.
No
matter how few calories you eat, a diet won't work unless the meals
are satisfying and pleasing -- your body will eventually rebel --
you won't feel well and your metabolism will slow down. For example,
some people can lose weight by going on a liquid fast for a day,
while for others that will never work -- not for lack of willpower,
but because it's the wrong approach for their body type. Some people
will lose weight eating salads, etc. -- while others will never
lose weight that way -- they have to find the foods that suit their
body's unique requirements. When your body is nutritionally balanced,
you will be able to lose weight eating the foods that you like --
the foods that make you feel satisfied in a whole body sense --
emotionally, mentally and physically.
There
are vitamin, mineral and herbal supplements as well as superfoods
that can help you lose weight faster but they must be the right
ones for you -- the ones that your body needs. Please note that
I do not sell foods, vitamins or any other nutritional products
-- I provide weight loss analysis and counselling. My recommendations
usually include specific foods, vitamins and nutritional supplements
that are available from your local suppliers.
There
has never been one single weight loss program that will work over
the long term for everybody. There is, however, one key factor that
is commonly missing in most weight loss programs. Your weight loss
program -- the weight loss program that is best for you -- depends
on your unique nutritional requirements. The first step in any successful
weight loss program is to get your body into balance by identifying
and replenishing the nutrients that your body craves. Only then
can you begin to establish a solid, nutritious diet -- the right
one for you -- which becomes a part of your lifestyle without taking
over your life.
