Lose Weight By Exercise Plus Optimum Food
Fatness and being overweight is reaching endemic proportions in the United States presently. Our inactive lifestyles and the Standard American Diet are making us overweight, sluggish and unhealthy. We don’t exercise and we don’t eat right.
Our ancestors needed to develop in such a way as to ensure continued existence. Therefore our bodies logically keep fat and energy in order to keep us from the times of food crisis. These days the only food crisis that we ever experience is the self-imposed famines that we go through when we go on a limiting diet.
But our bodies do not distinguish between a limiting diet and a famine. We go on a diet and our bodies impair our hard work 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 problematical to lose weight with every succeeding diet.
A large part of the answer to this dilemma may be to just stop dieting and begin eating. Start working with your biology instead of against it by discontinuing the senseless diets and eating like you are supposed to.
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 problems with obesity and overweight. Our bodies were in no way designed to eat the standard fare of processed, nutritionally void and detrimental foods that is so profuse in our culture and that many of us are used to.
As humans we are intended to consume the healthy, healthful, natural foods that come from nature. The earth naturally supplies the foods that are optimal for our bodies and that includes fruits, vegetables, whole grains and even fish and lean meats. It does not include the foods that are found in a package in the middle of your community supermarket. The less processed and more natural a food is the better it is for our bodies.
As humans we were also intended to move and work out. None of our ancestors led a inactive life. They were always up and around, moving about in the course of living. If you want to accomplish optimum healthiness including losing weight you need to add in both exercise and an optimum nutrition diet.
Fighting obesity, losing weight for good and creating optimum health starts with including the healthiest foods in nature into your diet and incorporating an exercise strategy into your life. You will see the outcome and your body will thank you.
