Losing weight is the bain of most people's lives, especially the female population. There is so much pressure these days to be slim! I agree with slim, but you must be healthy too and being too thin isn't healthy. People don't realise, especially the young girls, that you need to be a healthy weight to maintain your body and bones. If you don't eat enough of the correct foods, your body doesn't receive the nutrition it needs. If this is the case you then start to suffer from all sorts of problems, from brittle bones to having no immune system and suffering from all sorts of ill health.
All things in moderation is a good catch phrase!
This means eating a healthy diet: plenty of fruit and vegetables, fish and lean meat.
We need to gain vitamins and minerals from our food so eating leafy green vegetables for iron and calcium, lean meat and fish for protein, fruit for vitamin C to mention but a few.
To lose weight we have to cut down on our food intake and exercise a bit more to burn off the calories. But, to lose weight healthily we have to make sure that we continue to eat the foods that are good for us.
Cutting out the bad food types is the best way forward i.e. pizza's, creamy foods, cakes, biscuits, chocolate etc but these can still be eaten in moderation as a little treat occasionally.
Everyone likes to see a quick result and I must admit it is a very slow process when you are only losing 1 - 2 pounds per week.
There is a healthy way that I know of and that is by using Aloe Vera. There is a fantastic weight management plan which incorporates a 9 day body cleanse. The plan is mapped out for you and you just go with the instructions - dead easy - and what is 9 days after all! You can lose quite a lot of weight in this 9 days but you must then continue to stick to a weight loss programme after that, otherwise it could just go back on and you end up in the Yoyo dieting regime.
You need to avoid yoyo diets as it is not healthy to do this. If you lose quite a lot of weight, then put it back on, you find that you put on more. So then you do it again and then more goes back etc. It's a vicious circle!
So decide to decide to be healthy and follow a proper weight loss plan!
