Simple Secrets to Effective Weight Loss
To set about sane and effective weight loss programs, we first need to understand why and how we gain weight. In most cases, weight gain results from some combination of a lack of exercise and overeating of the wrong foods. The shift in our diet over the last thirty years has been dramatic and really quite shocking. What we accept as food these days is, chemically speaking, not food at all and surely not healthy. Processed foods are loaded with non-nutritive flavorings and additives that put a tremendous stress on the body and sometimes render the food undigestible. Undigested, unutilized food is stored in our body as fat. The foods that don’t pass through our body are stored in our fat cells, thus making them larger.
If there were one simple change we could make to improve the quality of our health and the weight of our body, it is simply this: eat more foods in their most pure, natural state. More fresh vegetables, fresh fruits, brown rice and other whole grains, breads baked with non-refined flours, nuts, seeds, legumes, and lean meats that are not fried. Less or no packaged foods, fast foods, deli meats, fried foods, and foods with artificial ingredients.
It has been discovered that the high fructose corn syrup found in our sodas and many other prepacked foods is a non-natural sweetener. The saccharides in high fructose corn syrup break down very quickly in the body, signaling sudden rises in insulin, which in turn tells the body to store fat. High fructose corn syrup is one of the single greatest contributors to obesity in the world today.
A diet of wholesome, nourishing foods can taste good and be very filling and substantial. It isn’t even necessary to give up sweets. There are many healthy alternatives to sugar. The amount of your food intake does not have to change as much as the quality and nutrition of the food you eat.
