According to the latest study from the Centers for Disease
Control (CDC.gov), more than one third (1/3) of all adults in the United
States are not just overweight but overweight to the point of obesity.
Being overweight causes billions of dollars a year in weight related
health issues. Not only are there negative health consequences to being
overweight, being overweight affects a person's love life, relationships
with friends, mood and job prospects among other things. Review your
own life honestly; are there areas in which being overweight has, or is,
causing you problems?

Many people start a new year with a
resolution to lose weight. Most people, however, never achieve any
significant weight loss because they avail themselves of the latest fad
diet or the newest diet pill. The latest gimmicky diet or taking diet
pills may help you to lose weight in the short term, however, neither
fad diets nor diet pills is a permanent long term solution. If you want
to lose weight and keep it off, you simply have to STOP dieting. That's
right, stop dieting. The very term "diet" is counter-productive to
losing weight. It sets up a mental block and prevents long term weight
loss. For long term success in your weight loss battle, you have to
change your way of looking at food.
Some people believe that starving themselves to lose weight is the way to go. Those who take the calorie restriction overboard generally suffer through these "diets" until they quit, usually without seeing much in the way of weight loss. You will never achieve permanent weight loss by depriving your body of calories. Eating too few calories cause your body to shut down to conserve energy, believing that it is being starved. You have to eat to lose weight. Of course, you can't just eat any foods. The biggest key to losing weight and burning fat is to eat the right foods - in the right combination - for your specific metabolic body type.
There are lots of places on the web and programs on the web that can assist you in determining your body type. Once you have identified your metabolic type, you can then match it with the proper foods you will need to eat to burn the fat, lose weight and maintain your new healthier body. Again, there are numerous articles and programs that will tell you exactly what foods, in what combinations are needed to turn your particular metabolic body type into a fat burning machine. Once you have discovered the foods you need to eat, your fat burning eating plan will work for you 24 hours a day and it will never require you to be hungry. In fact, if you are hungry, you won't be losing weight.
