5 AMAZING WEIGHT LOSS TIPS

HEALTHY WEIGHT LOSS TIPS

Now a days over weight and obesity is the main problem faced by many people in the world. Obesity is one of the major factors causing many health issues in adults.

Obesity not only leads to many health problems but also, make a person mentally weak and unhealthy.

 This article provides reasons for weight gain and provides healthy weight loss tips.

What is obesity?

Obesity is a condition that occurs when a person carries excess weight or body fat that might affect their health. A doctor will usually suggest a person has obesity if they have a high body mass index (BMI).

What is BMI?

A BMI between 25 and 29.9 indicates that a person is carrying excess weight. A BMI of 30 or over suggests that a person may have obesity.

Body Mass Index is a simple calculation using a person’s height and weight. The formula is BMI = kg/m² where kg is a person’s weight in kilograms and m² is their height in meters squared.

Example:

For an adult with a height of 180 cm and a weight of 75 kg. Our first step needs to be to convert the height into meters. As there are 100cm in a meter, we divide our figure by 100. This gives us 1.8m.

Let's plug those figures into our formula:

BMI= 75/ (1.8*1.8)

BMI=75/3.24

This gives us BMI figure 23.15

We can easily calculate BMI using the above formula.

There are many factors that lead to obesity like a sedentary lifestyle, unhealthy eating, junk food, skipping food, etc.
Let us now see how the food we eat converts into energy:

Our bodies digest the food we eat by mixing it with fluids (acids and enzymes) inside the stomach. When the stomach digests food, the carbohydrate (sugars and starches) in the food we eat breaks down into another type of sugar, called glucose.

The stomach and small intestines in our body absorb the glucose and then release it into the bloodstream. Once in the bloodstream, glucose can be used immediately for energy or else stored in our bodies, to be used later.

Our bodies need insulin in order to store or use glucose for energy. Without insulin, glucose stays in the bloodstream, keeping blood sugar levels high.

Whenever insulin is released from the pancreas, it travels through the bloodstream to the body's cells and tells the cell doors to open up to let the glucose in. Once glucose is inside, the cells convert glucose into energy to use right then or store it to use later whenever required.

Insulin helps our cells convert glucose into energy, and it helps our bodies store extra glucose for use later. For example, if you eat a large meal and your body doesn't need that much glucose right away, insulin will help your body store it to convert to energy later.

Insulin does this by turning the extra food we eat into larger packages of glucose called glycogen. Glycogen is stored in the liver and muscles.

The main reason for gaining weight is explained below.

As explained above our body requires glucose to gain energy to perform our daily activities.

If we have enough glucose we will be healthy. But if we eat more food with a lot of fat without consuming the energy we got from glucose will be stored in the liver in the form of glycogen.

If we continuously give more glucose into our body without consuming gained energy it will lead to fat in our body, increase cholesterol level, increase blood pressure, leads to heart blocks, heart attack and diabetes.

So the main reason for gaining fat in our body is eating a lot of food but not consuming the energy we gained from that food.

The first step we have to do lose weight is to consume our energy daily by doing physical activities like walking, cycling and exercises etc.

An amazing book called The Secret from “Rhonda Byrne” has interesting information about how to lose weight. It is all about the law of attraction and how the law of attraction helps in losing weight.

The law of attraction is the attractive, magnetic power of the universe that draws similar energies together.

Everything that’s coming into your life you are attracting into your life and it's attracted to you by virtue of the images you are holding into your mind. It’s what you are thinking. Whatever is going on in your mind you are attracting to you.

It is the law that determines the complete order in the universe, every moment of your life, and every single thing you experience in your life. It doesn’t matter who you are and where you are, the law of attraction is forming your entire life experience and all-powerful law is doing through your thoughts.

Food is not responsible for putting on weight. It is your thought that food is responsible for putting on weight that actually has food put on weight.

Your thoughts are the primary cause for everything and the rest is an effect from those thoughts. Think perfect thoughts and the result must be a perfect weight.

You might know about some people who are thin but eats like a horse. You might have also heard them saying “I can eat whatever I want and I am always the perfect weight.” And so the genie of the universe says, “Your wish is my command!”

Thin people will never get a thought of losing weight because they have the confidence that they will not put weight. These people send the thought of eating nicely and staying still thin into the universe. The universe will take their thought and the same will happen.

Fat people always think of losing weight and they send the same thoughts into the universe of losing weight. The same thought will be sent into the universe and genie says, “Your wish is my command!”

There are three steps to lose weight according to the “The Secret” book

Ask

Get clear on the weight you want to be. Have a picture on your mind of what you will look like when you have become that perfect weight. Get a picture of yourself at your perfect weight, if you have them, look at them often.

Believe

You must believe you will receive and the perfect weight is already yours. You must imagine, pretend, act as if, make-believe that the perfect weight is yours. You must see yourself you will be receiving your perfect weight.

Receive

You must feel good. You must feel good about your body. This is important because you cannot attract your perfect weight if you feel bad about your body now. If you feel bad about your body, it is a powerful feeling, and you will continue to attract feeling bad about your body.

You will never change your body if you are critical of it and find fault with it, and in fact, you will attract more weight for you. Think about all the perfect things about you. As you think perfect thoughts, as you feel good about you, you are on the frequency of perfect weight.

He recommends that when you eat, make sure you are entirely focused on the experience of chewing the food. Keep your mind present and experience the sensation of eating food and do not allow your mind to drift to other things.

If we can eat our food in the present, entirely focused on the pleasurable experience of eating, the food is assimilated in our bodies perfectly and the results in our body must be perfection.
