: 5 THINGS THAT INHIBIT WEIGHTLOSS :

PLUS POSSIBLE HEALTHY REMEDIES



1.SUGAR: My number one pick as a weight or fat loss preventer.

Sugar is today consumed in the western world in alarming amounts. Setting aside all other health warnings (of which there are many) of excess sugar consumption we are focusing here on just one health issue only. Obesity or overweight.

The insidious thing about sugar is that its presence is hidden from the unwary consumer. Canned, packaged, bottled and food in jars are prime suspects, usually absolutely guilty.

Coffee and tea if you add 1 or 2 teaspoons of sugar will raise your sugar consumption level for the day quickly. Almost all shop purchased drinks are guilty as charged, not to mention cakes, muffins, donuts, biscuits and sweets.

REMEDY; Of course you know I am going to say severely limit your sugar intake.

I am actually going to go further, and say try to stop all sugar. You can do this if you care enough. Unfortunately most people don’t care enough to get the job done until they have a life threatening health issue.

You can start with your brain; begin to tell yourself that you will at some stage die prematurely if you continue to eat sugar at such alarming rates. Tell yourself that no (or severely restricted) sugar will be your salvation and that you now ENJOY eating less or no sugar. This can help you if you put the necessary work into it after all it is a discipline and you CAN DO IT...


2.LACK of EXERCISE:

This is of course obvious to everybody in the fat losing game. Oh how boring, and painful you may be saying.

REMEDY; Let me simply say that there are more ways than one to skin a cat. If you don’t enjoy working out at a gym or any of the other more conventional methods of exercising then try being creative and incorporate exercise into either something you need to do every day or something you love or even both. Example you may love the beach. You can do some jogging for just 10 minutes in the heavy soft sand while you are there. You may have to travel to work daily; you could walk the last 3 or 4 blocks instead of driving or riding. Perhaps you really enjoy a beer with the guys after work. Maybe you could walk or jog to the pub. Make it a rule, first exercise then reward yourself.



3. MALNUTRITION:

This sounds unbelievable but it’s true. Malnutrition can cause stores of excess fat to be deposited on your body. As a Herbalife weightloss consultant some years ago I spoke to a number of young women who told me that this was their problem. Their respective doctors had given them warnings about the way they were treating their bodies. If this is you please please deal with it. It’s extremely dangerous.

Commonly a young busy Mom is so focused on taking care of her family’s needs that she neglects herself. She may not eat until lunchtime and then it may only be a cup of tea and some toast. She may have a reasonable meal at dinner with the family but that is not enough nourishment for anybody. Her body is so starved that when it does get fed it grabs whatever it can and stores it as fat because it knows there is going to be another drought tomorrow. There always is

REMEDY: If this is you find a good mineral supplement to replenish the extremely depleted minerals in your body. Take it and eat good wholesome nutritious food 3 times per day. This should include some form of protein in each meal depending on your body /blood type. Here is a brilliant health/mineral supplement if you don’t know where to buy, see the website with green in it.



4.ANTIDEPRESSANTS:

Not being a doctor or having any degree in any medical field I will not say anything about antidepressants except that its widely accepted that they inhibit fat loss.

My Naturopath teaches that the Pineal gland which is in the mid brain is the gland that regulates the brain and the way we think. Extra negative thinking can be simply a malfunction of this gland. She has told me that this is the first gland in the line to benefit when one of her patients take the appropriate nutrition she recommends for glands. Some help can be as close as 2 months on the nutritionals but of course for greater improvement much more time would have to be allowed. See below in glandular problems for more information .



5. GLANDULAR PROBLEMS

When I was a child at school there was a very fat boy in a lower class to mine. It was widely known at school that his doctor had diagnosed his problem to be his glands. Obviously his doctor never did know how to fix the problem as that boy remained grossly overweight for his entire high school education.

REMEDY: There are people who know what they are doing in this field, people who are trained in nutrition and natural health. I know one, a Naturopath who teaches that these glands need correct nutrition and there is a way of healing them. She teaches that our foods today do not feed the various glands but that there is something on the market that does. For further information go to my blog and read “A CHAT WITH MY NATUROPATH”

This is an article on the glands and is very simple basic information on what they are, where they are, in what order they are and what illnesses can be related to each one. Information extracted (easily) from my Naturopath.

all the very best
