These so.ering high (igures o( dieter2s shows us that we are all well

ecause we .elieve we are not attractive and a**ealing to others can

im*act this is having to our internal organs6
Did you "now that e/cess a.dominal (at is the most dangerous ty*e o((at to have? This is .ecause this is most active o( them all6
The (at is *ac"ed around your intestines: your liver and heart and
inter(eres with the way those organs wor"6 This (at secretes chemicalsand hormones that inhi.it *ro*er (unction o( those vital organs6 It is
also an indicator o( Ty*e II dia.etes and heart disease6

E/cess (at in the .ody causes the arteries in your heart to .ecomeclogged which raises your .lood *ressure to (orce the .lood to your
organs6 Having =ust an e/tra & e/cess *ounds (orces your heart towor" twice as hard to do the same =o. it did when you were =ust &

.lindness caused (rom .urst and .leeding .lood vessels in the .ac"s o(

High .lood *ressure can also cause wea"ened .lood vessels to .urst
and .leed on the .rain causing a stro"e6 lood clots can also .ecome
lodged within narrowed arteries also causing a stro"e6
Dia.etes causes the .lood to thic"en which raises the ris" o( .lood
clots (orming resulting in stro"es and heart attac"s (rom your alreadythic"ened arterial walls6
'o: as you can see .eing overweight can cause a cascade e((ect on our

a((ects everything6
The sim*lest solution is to =ust lose the weight6 We seem to thin" thathaving a little less ca"e or cutting .ac" on saturated (ats is a death
sentence .ut not nearly as deadly as the one that *lays havoc with our
.odies when we choose to eat that (oods that *ut us there6
In a medical trial to test the long term e((ects o( e/cess weight on

You need to thin" a.out it6 3eally study and e/amine how you eat:what is the thought that leads to the action?
Why We (at

We are creatures o( ha.it6 We have amassed lots o( ha.its that have

Emotional eating can also e/tend to ha**iness too6 Childhood ha.itscan see us overindulge (or doing something good which can s*ill into

16
8/12/2019 Your New Year Weight Loss Resolution

There are ways to treat yoursel( other than eating6 Why not get yournails or you hair done? Why not treat yoursel( to a nice hot .ath and a

tem*ting treats6 It2s =ust a matter o( thin"ing a little outside the

Boredom (ating

)a$tors 1ffe$ting How We Lose Weight
There are several reasons why we gain weight o( which we will delve
into in more detail6
What We (at 3 Our "alorie "onsum+tion
When we consume more calories than we .urn our .odies store thee/cess away as (at6 )s I mentioned .e(ore our .odies are
e/traordinary creations and tend to store away any e/cess (at we don2tneed in case o( leaner times that might lie ahead6
However today those times are (ew and (ar .etween and .ecause we
live in the develo*ed world rarely are there ever any times when (oodis truly scarce so we continue to "ee* storing at away6
Com*ared with %&& short years ago: you would .e hard *ressed to (ind
any o( our ancestors stric"en with o.esity .ecause they wor"ed hard inorder to eat6 They would either have to grow and harvest their own
(ood or go to great lengths to get it6 ecause there was a certainamount o( e((ort that went into daily survival they .urned more

calories com*ared to our readily accessi.le society where everythingwe want is at our (ingerti*s6
Even what was considered lu/ury items such as (lour: sugar and
chocolate to our ancestors have .ecome everyday (i/tures o( themodern *antry6 Things are too readily availa.le to us that nothing is a
treat anymore and we tend to over indulge ourselves on a regular.asis6

(at we s*ent years gaining6 I( only we could loo" at our li(estyle andrealie the answer is staring .ac" at us (rom our *antries and not in
the .ottom o( a =ar o( diet *ills or the ne/t (ad diet that .lows our way6
#nderstanding how our .odies o*erate: how they .urn (at: whatma"es them gain weight is all instrumental in your own *ersonal

Why We Gain Weight
We are all di((erent6 It2s (rustrating to see *eo*le who eat li"e a horse

I( we live sedentary lives and we are not *hysically active our
