good info but isn't most of this a little obvious? :P
Just a suggestion: For people that are not very familiar with food rich in proteins and fiber and the like, you could give examples of food underneath each point so that even a clueless person can start refining their eating habits.
yes and/or duh....
i think everyone knows how to lose weight. it's the fact that people don't want to push themselves and motivate themselves to lose weight and eat healthy.
Read the book Eat To Live by Dr Fuhrman MD.
It's not a diet, diets fail, it's a healthy way to eat! Reduce and eliminate disease, and live a long healthy life!!
cool
great!
This isn't new... is it?
Do people have a harder time figuring out how to get in shape or actually doing it?
I think its harder to know how. I used to think the only way to get in shape was to starve and run. I went to the gym and saw people running. But I could never run. My body wasn't ready for that. So I never did it. I also didn't have the resolve to ignore my hunger. So I ate.
But now I know what I can eat to control my hunger and still be healthy, and I know how to workout in a way that works for me. And I do it. =)
"Weight loss methods" are never new.
@OhItzJustMe@xanga - I'm going to look this up now! As soon as I have some money in the bank, I'm going to purchase it. Thanks!
Mm, yes, healthy is the lovely way. Very informative post. Many people have a harder time actually abiding by these rules. The simple steps to easy weight loss have been around for a long time, but becoming healthy is a lifestyle change. It can't happen overnight, and changing your present lifestyle can be harder than it seems because you need to learn to balance what you intake and start eating foods that are more appropriate for you. It's a simple set of rules, but it's hard to adjust to them. Many people assume that if they stay strict right from the beginning they'll succeed. Not many have this willpower, so when it fails they don't see results, and give up. But once you take on these healthier choices one day at a time, learning how to incorporate them into your life, it'll definitely be worth it.
I'd say both.
You need some drive and motivation to think of a plan, but then actually DO it. Some people do great for the first, but then drop out after trying for about a week. It's all about your determination: if you want it, you'll achieve it.
@Annalyn04@xanga - Here is the link to his site, you can read quite a bit on there about it. Also he has his own youtube channel.
Dr Furhman's Site
@Annalyn04@xanga - Oh one other thing.. you can get the book on Amazon for like 8 bucks used :)
Nothing new here, really.
But, one must also realize they should not take a diet to the extremes, either. That can be unhealthy as well...
@OhItzJustMe@xanga - Haha!! I noticed that! Thank you so much for your help! I appreciate it!
nothing on exercising? lol.
aren't we supposed to haf a good healthy diet as above & combine it wif regular exercise?
Actually doing it. But I follow most of those now...anyway. But yeah, no one will get anywhere without exercise. You should mention 1 hour of cardio each day for 6 days a week.
yeah the high fiber is very true
I do all these things anyhow. I can't lose a pound. I even go to the gym regularly. I think your article does not live up to it's title and only works for very heavy individuals.
@zubes5806@xanga - I need to comment here. In many instances it is not just about motivation and will power. I see many patients every week that do all the right things and are just stuck. The need a true physiologic and metabolic evaluation, review, and treatment to be able to lose body fat and improve health.

@zretrareo27@xanga - You need to find a physician who knows how to evaluate you from a full metabolic perspective. Pre-hypothyroid, pre-diabetes, low testosterone levels, hormone imbalances are just a few reasons why individuals are "stuck' no matter how hard they try.

@DrG - and sometimes they need the motivation to seek that treatment. life, in general, is about how much motivates you to actually do what you need to do.
