Healthy weight-Loss

It is important to establish a realistic goal when deciding to lose weight. There are several factors, such as age, gender, occupation and other energy demands, genetics, and more. For the sake of this website and it's intention to help you select an appropriate weight-management program, you will first determine your BMI (body mass index). These programs are aimed at the very overweight and obese categories; if your number is in the 27-40 range, the programs suggested here are wonderful options for you. If you are below 27, more than likely, you can reach a target weight with smart eating and exercise. If you are over 40, you should be under medical care.
There are many issues where excess weight/obesity are concerned: appetite control, over-eating, excess sugar and/or excess fat consumption, overconsumption of nutrient-poor foods, food allergies/sensitivities, lack of movement (calorie expenditure), genetics, fungal/yeast overgrowth, parasites, insulin insensitivity, low thyroid function, slow metabolism, and psycho-emotional factors. Several of these issues are very difficult to treat, such as food allergies/sensitivities, which may be hard to identify, or fungi/yeast overgrowth which may take months to eradicate. Assuming that you can properly identify all of your issues, it takes time, money, discipline, and persistence to be successful.There is no magic-bullet supplement or fad diet that is going to help you lose weight in a healthy or permanent way, so the first thing you need to do is accept that you have to work to reach your goal. It will be well worth it, and like so many other goals, once you're "over-the-mountain," it is an easier path.This website is not intended to replace working with a good health practitioner, but there are so many bad options out there, and this approach will often provide desirable results. Please steer clear of some of these less-than-desirable options: fad diets. There are too many to list, but even the Atkin's craze has it's problems-many of us in the healthcare industry call it "the cancer diet," because if it is followed long-term, it may make you more prone to developing certain kinds of cancer. This is true of most high protein diets that don't avoid high residue/mucous-producing foods and most importantly, sugar and alcohol. Short term, they seem to help a number of people, but if you'd simply avoid sugar and white-flour products, and minimize your alcohol consumption, you'd do well.
