Being overweight increases the likelihood of developing diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease, stroke, breathing problems such as asthma and sleep apnea, some cancers, osteoarthritis, and gall bladder disease.
Obesity is associated with these conditions as well as with early death.
So there is a big incentive to reach and maintain a level of weight appropriate to you as an individual.
By simply getting in shape and shedding a few pounds can make your life and your lifestyle a lot more enjoyable.
Most diet programs tell you what to eat and what not to eat, as if one size fits all.
Yet this does not work, because everyone is different and what appeals to and works for one person, will not necessarily do so for another.
Research has shown that even a small weight loss (just 10 percent of body weight) can help people who are overweight or obese lower their risk of developing many unhealthy conditions.
Diets don't work, eating is not due to lack of will-power.
Eating, ultimately, is under the control of the brain.
Every book you have read and program you have tried so far has told you what you should and shouldn't eat.
When it comes to losing weight, there are many factors that come into play, but the 2 major factors are, food intake, and exercise to burn the calories that is intake daily.
To lose the weight and see results in the right places, your calories intake should not be much higher than the calories burnt daily, by doing this there is no extra calories to sit in the digestive system and turn into unwanted fatty deposits.
