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.
