Overweight? How to loose weight?

Do you know this situation? You get up in the morning, go to the bathroom and there it is - the enemy - the scale!
Yesterday you have been to a shop and saw this beautiful dress, you tried but it couldn't fit - the sales girl told you "sorry we don't have it any larger".
This sentence really hurts - because what she is really saying is "your are OVERWEIGHT - you should loose weight!"

Why AM I OVERWEIGHT?

Our weight is determined by the amount of energy that we take in as food and the amount of energy we expend in the activities of our day.  It is as simple as that.
Energy is measured in calories. If your weight remains constant, you are probably taking in the same amount of calories you burn each day. If you're slowly gaining weight over time, it is likely that your caloric intake is greater than the number of calories you burn through your daily activities.
When you are over 50, and you are overweight, one of the first things we have to consider is to show you how to lose weight!

Biological facts - Metabolism facts

For some people, due to genetic (inherited) factors or other conditions, the resting metabolic rate (BMR) can be slightly higher or lower than average. Our weight also plays a role in determining how many calories we burn at rest -- more calories are required to maintain your body in its present state, the greater your body weight. A 100-pound person requires less energy (food) to maintain body weight than a person who weighs 200 pounds.

Whether you are trying to lose 5 pounds or more than 50, the same simple laws of physics determine whether or not you will lose weight and how fast your weight loss will occur. 

Dieting and Diets

Over all these years you probably have already tried so many different things, so many different diets. Some of them did work for a while, some Diets were simply a waste of money.

Thousands of diet tips for younger, for older, for men, for women...
But always the same questions

• Which Diet is the right Diet for me? 
• Which Diet is working?
• What do I have to do?
• No more eating this delicious food?

 To understand this better lets have a look at diet plans that do not work

The reason you cannot lose weight by starving yourself (using a low calorie diet) is because your metabolism will detect any major drop in calories and it will then ADJUST ITSELF by burning fewer calories each day. 

For example:

If you begin eating 2,500 calories per day then your metabolism will adjust itself so that your body begins burning 2,500 calories per day.

If you try to starve yourself by suddenly eating 1,000 calories per day then your metabolism will again ADJUST ITSELF so that your body begins to burn only 1,000 calories per day.  That's why you have failed in your past dieting attempts, that's why you always seem to fail when you try and starve yourself.

 
Now you know the reason why you can eat 1,000 calories per day and not lose any weight while your friends can eat 2,500 calories per day and not gain any weight. 

Low carb diets have certainly become popular in recent years, but such diets often leave you feeling miserable each day (since they drain most of your energy and can leave you feeling quite awful each day).

Check out these facts...

Did you know that several popular low carb diets are so strict that you cannot even eat a large apple during the first couple weeks?    It's true.

Also, many low carb diets won't even let you enjoy a 'normal' restaurant meal (ordered without any carb restrictions) for many months after you begin.

Therefore, low carb diest can leave you feeling MISERABLE each day, which is not the answer

Also, virtually every person in today's society is buying mostly "low fat" or "non fat" food at the grocery store, everybody is conscious of the "fat grams" inside the food they buy.  However, people are getting fatter than ever by doing this and people are not losing weight by switching to the "low fat lifestyle".

Now you know what doesn't work...
but what DOES work to lose weight? 

 

Do not wait - you will be amazed what you will see!
