I'm not going to bore you with all the reasons you should improve your health. I'll get straight to the point. Slimming down is about losing body fat. Losing body fat is about your diet and your lifestyle. I want you to realize that the changes to your life that will be needed to lose your fat will be permanent. You can't go back to indulging like in your past life. I can put you on the right path, but it's up to you to stay there. As you slim down you will improve your health, they are tied together. It's your body fat that can cause your health problems.
To slim down you should stop eating anything you eat now. Dietatitions tell us to eat fresh whole foods. So what does that mean?
This pyramid shows foods that will help you lose fat. The trick is how you pick items from these. Meat should be eaten in small amounts. Experts will say that only 20% of the food you consume should be meat. 50% should be vegetables and beans. 10% good fats like avocados, olives, olive oil, etc. That might sound funny that you need to eat some fats, but the body needs good fats to lubricate your joints, help your heart keep pumping, and good fats will even help your brain function.
Your body knows the difference between good and bad fats. That's why you have extra fat stored around your waist. That fat in fat cells couldn't be processed so the body has to store it in fat cells in case the body might be able to use it later. That storing process is automatic, the crazy thing is that your body has no way to track how much it stores. That is how people can gain hundreds of pounds and the body doesn't know how much is too much.
Your body stores fat on your body the same way it stores fat on a bear in preparation for the winter. The primary function of the body is survival. Constipation is another survival tactic to help you survive if the body thinks you will hibernate.
This is one reason that cutting back on food doesn't lead to weight loss. If the body thinks you are starving it will hold the food you eat and store it to prevent you from starving. Eat plenty of the right foods and drink zero calories and after a few weeks, the waist will start to shrink.
Doing any light exercise like biking, walking 10,000 steps a day, or swimming will help you slim down quicker.
