Lose Weight By Exercise Plus Optimum Nutrition

By Helen Harris

These days obesity and being overweight has reached almost epidemic proportions. Our sedentary lifestyle along with the utilization of what is referred to as the "Standard American Diet" has affected our waistlines and our bathroom scales in ways that are not pleasing and definitely not beneficial. We eat too much and we work out too little.

Our bodies have evolved throughout the past to guard us from famine. That means that our bodies naturally preserve fat and energy to keep us alive in case there is no food available. However efficient our bodies might be at doing this the fact is that these days the only food crisis that we ever go through is the self-imposed one from the limiting diets that we go on.

But our bodies do not distinguish between a limiting diet and a food crisis. We go on a diet and our bodies incapacitate our labors by slowing down our metabolism and conserving every bit of fat and energy that it can. That is one of the reasons why it gets more strenuous to lose weight with every subsequent diet.

One key to this dilemma is to discontinue dieting and start eating. In other words stop depriving yourself of food and start eating the way your body was intended to eat.

It's much more than just starting to eat as normal again. We must redefine what "normal" eating is. The Standard American Diet or as it is also known SAD contributes fundamentally to our troubles with obesity and overweight. Our bodies were on no account intended to eat the standard fare of processed, nutritionally void and damaging foods that is so plentiful in our society and that many of us are used to.

Our bodies were designed to eat the wholesome, nutritious and natural foods that are found profusely in nature. Nature provides the foods that are optimal for our bodies. Fruits, vegetables, whole grains and even fish and lean meats. The less processed and the more natural the food the better it is for our bodies.

As humans we were also designed to move and work out. None of our ancestors led a sedentary life. They were always up and around, moving about in the course of living. If you want to reach optimum vigor including losing weight you need to incorporate both exercise and an optimum nutrition diet.

Combating obesity, losing weight for good and creating optimum fitness starts with including the healthiest foods in nature into your diet and incorporating an work out plan into your life. You will see the results and your body will thank you. - 17274
