Nutrition and Weight Loss Ideas

Over the past couple of days I’ve been hearing and reading more about the health crisis here in North America. This crisis is getting to be a major obstacle to the success of a person’s nutrition and weight loss program.

I’m talking about the crisis of obesity and being overweight. Yes, those are two different things, but both are equally important when it comes to our health and overall wellness.

Have you ever wondered why it seems so hard to lose weight when you go on a diet?

And, how many of you have gone on a diet and ended up adding back more weight than you lost?

It’s not surprising! Staying slim and trim in this country is becoming a huge challenge. We know the United States is growing — but the sad thing is — so are Americans! We’re bigger now than we have ever been. Two-thirds of us are overweight or obese.

In fact, try this little exercise the next time you go out to the mall or anywhere else where there are a lot of people.

Look at the people — look at their bodies — how many of them are carrying too much weight? I’ll bet the majority of them are. And the even sadder thing is that we are so used to seeing overweight or obese people that is beginning to seem normal. We’re so used to seeing it we don’t even notice anymore.

Well, I’ve got news for you — normal doesn’t mean healthy! It should not be this way!

Over the past 100 years or so, the average lifespan of the American increased. We had improvements in science and medicine all designed to help us live longer. But something has changed — we are gaining weight at remarkable levels and our life expectancy is now, after all those years of increasing — is now decreasing!

Think about this — if we don’t do something to turn this around our children and grandchildren will live sicker and die younger than we will!

That’s where I’m going to stop this article. I’ll pick it up again the first of the week.

I hope you’ll think hard about that last statement — not only as it applies to your children and grandchildren, but to your sisters, brothers, mothers, fathers, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, friends — and also to YOU!

We have to turn this around — our lives depend on it.

As always, remember to follow a good-fat — good-carb diet. And do whatever you can, within your doctors recommendations, to keep up with the exercise part of your program. The benefits are priceless.

Here is some information about the nutritional supplements I add to my nutrition and weight loss program. These have helped me more than I would have ever imagined. I’m not kidding. Click on the links in the box below — you won’t be sorry!
