More than 50% Americans are
overweight. Every year people in the USA alone spend billions of dollars on
weight loss pills, diet programs and health supplements. Yet the obesity
epidemic is on the rise like never before. Most people put themselves through
so many difficulties when it is possible to lose weight naturally without
needing to suffer unnecessarily. You can lose weight and get slim without
skipping meals, taking weight loss pills or any expensive supplements.
When it comes to natural
weight loss, one of the most important things you should focus on is healthy,
balanced eating. Think of your body like your home. If you have a
well-organized kitchen, ventilated rooms where fresh air and sunlight are able
to enter easily, and if everything else is running smoothly in the house, you
will feel a sense of peace and harmony. You will be able to enjoy your stay in
the house, be able to invite guests and enjoy delicious meals with them. The
same is the case with the body.
When all major organs and
systems of the human body are working properly and are in balance, we will feel
good and happy. Our digestive systems will work properly, our adrenal glands
will be able to protect us and our bodies will detoxify themselves efficiently
and automatically. Having systemic imbalance like adrenal dysfunction or
hormonal imbalances in the body can lead to weight problems. If you are able to
restore the body to its natural state of balance then you can easily lose the
excess weight you had gained.
Most of us are totally
focused on how many calories we take in and how many we burn. We try to reduce
weight loss to a simple mathematical formula where you have to burn more
calories than you take in. However the reality is not so simple. The above
mindset assumes that 1,000 calories of junk food is equal to 1000 calories of
healthy and nutritious food, which is not the case. We are sending drastically
different messages to our bodies when we consume healthy food versus the same
amount of junk food. The junk food will not only load your bodies with
calories, it can also disturb its natural balance.
Suppose a person consumes
1,200 calories a day which is mostly comprised of junk, unhealthy food while
another person consumes the same amount of calories per day but in the form of
healthy, balanced, nutritious food. Also imagine that both people are doing
almost an equal amount of exercises daily. Who do you think will have better
health and lesser weight problems among the two? So you see, weight loss is not
just about burning more calories than you put in. It is also about healthy,
balanced eating so that you can avoid systemic imbalances in the body which can
lead to gaining weight. Make it a lifelong habit to eat healthy, balanced diet
if you want to enjoy slimmer waist and fitter body.
