Being Overweight Can Be Dangerous To Your Health

I write a lot about losing weight but most overweight people don’t realize how dangerous it is to be overweight. When we become adults it doesn’t seem very important how much we weigh. Most of us feel healthy enough, after all, it’s a relevant thing. If you have always been heavy then you learn to accept your size and you believe that’s your normal size. You know other kids at school are thinner but you have your normal and they have their normal. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

Actually, you can be thinner, but if your family members are heavy then you naturally think that’s the way you are going to be. But that’s not true, you can be thin if you want.

The foods you eat make you gain weight. When you are young and live at home, you eat the same as your family eats; which might be causing your weight problem. When you live at home, while you are still in school, you can develop eating habits that cause weight problems. The rules for losing weight are always the same. Don’t eat fast food, and when I eat out I only eat salads and don’t use creamy salad dressings. Don’t drink anything with calories. Stick to simple drinks like water, coffee, or tea. Avoid store-bought drinks; read the labels. Don’t eat or drink anything with chemicals, like zero-calorie drinks. Don’t eat processed foods or foods with enriched flour.

Eat fresh, that’s the way to lose weight. Try the Mediterranean meal plan; you can find it on the internet. It’s not a fad diet, it’s a different way to eat and over time you will lose weight. The body fat will disappear. Follow the food pyramid and don’t cheat, do the extra walking and you will become a healthier person and have more energy, and feel younger. The more body fat you have the shorter your life. Studies show that the more calories you eat the shorter your life. You can be a little overweight and still be healthy if you eat healthy food and don’t over-eat. Meat and vegetables should be your meal, the largest part of the meal would be the vegetables. Fish or poultry would be the meat. And fruit after dinner. Bread would be okay as long as it's whole grain. Whole wheat is not whole grain. And most important, don’t miss meals, just eat better foods.
