Weight Loss Can Be Achieved Easily

By Wiliam Merchant


Weight loss not only helps one look better in a suit of clothes, but is also important for good health. Carrying extra pounds can add years to one's appearance because fat around the face makes the face look more rotund. The person who is worried about looking order can look years younger by dropping the extra pounds around the mid section. The person who wants to live longer should also consider dropping those extra mid section pounds.

An extra pound around the mid section increases the risk of heart attack because extra pounds put strain on the heart. The heart is a muscle and the harder a muscle has to work, the more strain the muscle endures. A person who is overweight will put more stress on his heart and therefore cause the heart muscle to weaken over time.

The concept is easy for the overweight person and that is to burn more calories than those that are consumed. Think of a savings account that one makes several deposits to but makes no withdrawals. The result is a surplus of money, which is great, but no one wants a surplus of fat.

A surplus in one's bank account is a wonderful situation but a terrible situation for one's body. Keeping track of every calorie is a tedious way to try to cut back on calories. It is easier to use practical ways to cut down on calories rather than keeping track of every calorie in each meal. Use a small serving plate when eating dinner in order to cut down on caloric intake.

A lot of men and women use large plates to eat from and they fill their plates to capacity. Use a smaller plate and the body will not know the difference. Get rid of the large dinner plates and start using smaller salad plates at dinner time. One will not notice the smaller portion because the body will become accustomed to whatever the hand is used to putting into the mouth.

Do not eat in front of the television because watching TV interferes with the natural feeling of fullness. Do not eat listening to music because music also interferes with the body's response to eating. Eat in a quiet area and stop eating when the body is full.

Weight loss is an important factor in a health lifestyle. Overweight people are more prone to heart disease and other serious health problems that can be avoided by dropping those extra pounds. The simple concept to keep in mind is to burn more calories each day than what is consumed.
