Weight Loss Steps to Health
Posted by Tel on 21 Aug 2008 at 11:06 am | Tagged as: weight loss tips
Following my last post here at Health Image which was all about healthy ways to beauty, I think it would be remiss of me not to include some timely weight loss tips as part of keeping up a fit and healthy body.
Well, this is where I stand on the whole idea of the many weight loss programs and procedures that are around. Most of them simply don’t work. Why is that? Well, its not so much they are useless, far from it. The majority of these types of procedures are actually perfect for losing weight – as long as the person doing them adheres to their regime. That’s where most of these weight loss programs fall down.
Most weight loss programs are designed for people who can stay the distance and keep with them indefinitely. Then they work just fine. Problem is, most people simply do not stick to them.
So how can you lose weight without having to stick with a horrible diet or nasty exercise regime that takes it all out of you and leaves you seriously wanting? Well, one school of thought says you can’t (great). But a better one says you can lose weight enough to achieve your ideal weight (I’ll come back to that in a minute). The main train of thought here is that you make better use of your mind to overcome many of the ingrained fears and prejudices you may have collected throughout your life about your weight and body shape. It also promotes using your mind to get into a positive frame of thought, thereby giving you added impetus to do the things you need to do in order to achieve that weight loss.
But a lot of it boils down to how you perceive your own body and what your ideal weight really is.
Your ideal weight is individual to you. No glossy magazine or fancy weight to height ratio calculation is going to be accurate when it comes down to your own personal ideal weight. That ideal weight will not be the same for other people, because let’s face it, we’re all different! Your ideal weight is therefore the weight that ideal for you!
Once you can assimilate that idea into your way of thinking, you’re already halfway there!
The rest is made a lot easier then, when you’re not striving to achieve the unachievable. It may be that while a magazine has told you that you need to lose 20 pounds (9 kilos), the truth is that to attain your ideal weight and body shape, you only need to lose 10 pounds (4.5 kilos). Or whatever is right for you.
Also, when it comes to losing weight, its no good just dieting alone. This will not work in the long term and will do you more harm than good. You need to exercise as well as eat properly as the two go hand in hand. In the next article, I’ll tell you why it is necessary to exercise as well as eat properly and how it can all be done without a great deal of sacrifice or tough workouts! In the meantime, you can have a look at our specialised page that is dedicated just to weight loss tips. This is a page that has only just started happening but it will soon grow into a highly valuable resource for anyone looking for some great and easy ways to lose weight!
See you soon…

Here is a post that takes the perceived problem of weight loss and gives the reader hope. So there doesn’t have to be any hard nosed workouts and strict nasty diets to follow if you want to lose weight naturally. Weight loss tips abound online and thi…
I am one of the thousands of people who lived with obesity for decades before I discovered what I had was actually a Candida yeast infection which caused sugar/flour cravings. Well, diet after diet worked fine for a while. Except that the cravings always won out in the end – the yeast beast is a patient adversary.
If even a small fraction of the obesity in the US is caused by yeast, then everyone who has failed at dieting should look to this as a possible solution. Test for yeast, or just start treating it. Try using antifungals and having no sugar and no flour for two weeks. You’ll feel amazingly better (assuming your problem was caused by yeast): what’s more, you will have achieved some good weight loss if yeast was your problem.
My story and everything you need to ditch obesity forever are on my website at BeautyAndTheYeastBeast.com – so please take a moment to look, for yourself or someone who may be helped by this.
Thanks for the information Francine. Its always good to look at alternatives and maybe this is one reason why some diets fail, but you’re probably correct in that it may account for only a small fraction of obesity in the US and other westernised countries.
The main reason for obesity is of course a combination of eating too much junk food or processed food and a sedentary lifestyle. Advertisers have a lot to do with the junk food problem as they make those burgers look so tasty and inviting and desirable to consumers, when what they really are is an early death conveniently wrapped in a sesame bun!
Any kind of weight loss is so hard and complicated today that people need all the help they can get when it comes to figuring out all the many so called easy weight loss tips that seem to be everywhere. I searched and found plenty of weight loss e-books on the internet, but most of them were rubbish. If you look hard enough for anything, I guess you’ll find it in the end.
