use the poll to get the answers you want

Hi there

Notice the poll on the right hand side? Please use it, I will take the result and use it to give you answers to your weight problems. Gaining weight is not as simple as people might think. Its not all about eating too much and not exercising enough. You need to consider many things. Some of the reasons are not just with you thinking, some are social, some sexual, some genetics and so on. Eating a balanced diet also requires you to get a balanced outlook on your eating and living. Everything exists together, there is not just one problem or one answer. Prepare to be open minded and think carefully about what, how and where you eat. Who you eat with and who you have eaten with in the past all take their toll on your body.

So go ahead and make my day, fill in the poll now.

Your environment helps you to put on weight

I remember a time when you had to get up to answer the phone. There were no mobile devices. People would have the phone in the hall of their home. Burning off calories when they ran to answer it before it stopped.

Now we just take a phone from our pocket or bag and in the process help to gain weight. The average person would lose 2kg per year if they had to get up and answer a telephone that was in another room.

other things that make us lazy are lifts and escalators, just walking up and down the stairs at work can shed the fat. We were never designed to for comfort. We were evolved from beings that were constantly on the move, fighting against the odds to survive. Now the same amazing body has been set free of challenge by our intelligence. We have created comfort and in so doing created our own demise.

What will you do, next time you here your mobile in the lift?

How did you get so fat?

If you where fat through your childhood then you were always going to be a fat adult. If you had a fat mother you also would find yourself getting fatter, the older you get.

If you had a period of time when you got fat but then lost it only to put on more the next time, might be due to the fact that your body created more fat cells when you got fat. When you got thin the fat cells only got empty, they did not disappear. Therefore when you eat fats and sugars the fats cells just absorb it all and you get fatter.

Some people from indigenous populations are genetically programmed to be able to live on less calories. This is a genetic make up of the past when tribes would hunt for food. These people now eat a more calorie rich diet with less exercise and so just get bigger and bigger while the food companies get richer and richer.

If you eat less and exercise more the chances are you will lose some weight.

Make the change now......

Confirmation from others

I was at work today listening to the women talking about their diets. I mention the psychology of not restricting your food intake as it tends to lead to over eating or binge eating. Straight away one woman sat up and said 'thats true'. She had been attending another weight loss class and the information she was being given was that its ok to eat what you want, just balance and be mindful about what and when you eat. She said she felt free of the bindings of a diet and finally she had a good relationship with food.

Listening to her I gathered there was still some work to do , especially with her alcohol intake, but I was impressed about her new relaxedness about her weight. She had lost 10kg in a month. Meanwhile another women said she couldn't go to weight watchers because she new she had lost weight and could not wait the eat some of her favorite food after her weigh in. Sound familiar, food restriction causes binge eating.

So there you go, just a simple example from daily life. Keep your ears open and you will hear women talk about food and diet and body shape alot of the time. Restriction causes conflict and you cannot think about anything else.

Dont think about food and you will eat more

Strange title,

Well it is true, if we decide to restrict our food intake many of us will actually consume more, especially binge feeding which makes us fatter and feel much worse about ourselves. Just try it now, for the next minute do  not think about the favourite food you love to eat. If you do, then tap your feet. Amuse yourself with how
many times you have to tap your feet. Some of you will be straight for the fridge or the cookie jar when you try not to think about your favourite food.

My advice to you therefore is to become more relaxed in your thinking, do not restrict your thoughts or your food. Just begin to educate yourself about a balanced diet and more exercise. Ever seen the yin yang symbol? It represents balance and an ever moving universe. Life only works in balance. What happens when you restrict the flow of water with a damn. You get more water.

Relaxedness is the key to all good health, peace of mind will restore the balance your body and mind crave. Do not impose control on your food, restriction causes conflict and ultimately more consumption.

If you want to lose weight then begin stop dieting and start eating in a balanced way. Chill out and get thin.
