How do we become obsessed? Some factors to obesity may include
your age, gender, genetics, environmental factor, physical activity,
psychological factors, illness, or even medication. The most common way a
person becomes obese is by consuming more calories than he or she burns.
Meaning you eat more than you should and do not exercise to burn off the
calories. For many individuals eating fast foods is more convenient and do not
eat a nutritional diet. Eating a fast food meal can average about 1,680
calories and 74 grams of fat. Compared to a meal prepared at home, one meal can
average 546 calories and 5 grams of fat. How many calories you need in a day
varies with your gender, age, weight and activity level. The most common number
is 2,000, which the FDA uses to determine daily values of various nutrients. So
if you are eating three fast food meals a day, on average you are eating 5,040
calories daily.
Obesity in the U.S is a growing problem. Did you know that more
than one-third of U.S adults are classified as obese, and approximately 12.5
million of children aged 2 through 19 years are obese? According to the Center
for Disease control and Prevention that’s 35.7 % adults and 17% of our children
are over weight. Do not wait to loose weight until you have a disease and are
required to loose it. Obesity is a
concern because it increases the risk of many diseases and health conditions
including:
1. Coronary heart
disease
2. Liver and
Gallbladder disease
3. Sleep disorders
and respiratory problems
4. Dyslipidemia
(for example, high total Cholesterol
or high levels of triglycerides)
5. Hypertension (high blood pressure)
6. Cancers
(endometrial, breast, and colon)
7. Type 2 diabetes
Ten ways to loose weight are to …
- Drink more water. 8 to 12 glasses of water should not be something to think about twice. Water helps your body to lose weight and it’s one of the most ignored among weight loss solutions. Water keeps you feeling fresh and alert hence, you don’t get a problem when it comes to focusing on losing weight.
- Increase the pace at which you walk.
- Whatever you have on your plate, for any meal, cut that in half and save the other half or give it to someone else. Eating less will also help you shed those extra pounds for good.
- Stop eating junk food. No Colas and No fast food items.
- Sleep well. 7 hours of sleep is a must. Research has shown that sleep deprivation can lead to obesity.
- Eat six meals a day for optimum health. Eat six times instead of the standard three. Those six meals should be small and not nearly as big as the ones you have when you eat 3 meals a day.
- Try to cut down the use of high fat dairy and grains from your diet.
- Try to cut or even eliminate added sugar from your diet.
- Don’t eat at least 3 hours before going to bed.
- Buy a cheap set of used dumbbells and start doing some lightweight training to put on some muscle mass and burn the fat. Extra muscle will help you burn even more calories while you sit or even sleep.
