Health - 6 Hidden Reasons Why You're FAT (and Shouldn't Be)

6 Hidden Reasons Why You're FAT  (and Shouldn't Be)
If I were a genie and gave you three wishes, what would you wish for? I'd be willing to bet that some of the popular answers would include: To be rich! Good health. A big house. A head full of hair! To get the man or woman of your dreams. World peace. To be famous. Happiness. And of course, the BIGGIE... To take off the weight AND keep it off! If you're one of the people who has gone through countless cycles where you dieted, Iost pounds and turned around and put them all back on (and then some), you're not alone. And if you want to finally get off the roller coaster of going up and down in poundage, you must not only do what really works to take off weight, but you also must avoid.... The Six Diet Booby Traps Below are common booby traps that will almost guarantee that your efforts to shed the blubber will fail. And you will continue to be frustrated and want to take a sledgehammer to the scale. Without further ado, here they are: Booby trap #1: Falling for marketing deception Food manufacturers are VERY slick in how they market their products. They know that people are trying to be more health-conscious, so they are masterfully sneaky as they try to convince you that their products are somehow "healthy" even though they ain't. Know this: Many of these "healthy" foods are anything BUT. Take beverages, for example. Beverage manufacturers realize that people are catching on to the fact that soda can pack the pounds on you. So how do these companies keep the more health-conscious people fooled...er, I mean, happy too? "Healthy" sports drinks, of course! But they fail to point out that sports drinks and vitamin waters are LOADED with sugar and calories--in other words, basically no different than blubber-creating soda. "Low fat" is another deceptive joke. Products that are low fat are usually packed with sugar to help overcome the disgusting taste and texture of the food that resulted when the fat was taken out. And that sugar will add nicely to your muffin top.   Booby trap #2: All carbs are bad Thanks to protein-heavy diet plans like the South Beach Diet and Atkins, many people have been led to believe that all carbs are evil and will widen your backside. That's simply NOT true... Carbohydrates are VITAL to your body's functioning. Carbs are broken down into glucose, which is your body's primary fuel. Glucose is the main source of energy for muscle function, your central nervous system and especially your brain. Putting it bluntly, without carbs you DIE. The important thing is to become carb-savvy and choose COMPLEX carbs (like those found in whole grains, vegetables and legumes) and stay away from fat-creating processed and refined carbs (like sweets, white breads, white sugar, etc.)   Booby trap #3: Starvation I remember back in high school, my friends and I would skip breakfast AND lunch for days on end trying to become a magical size 3 or 5. But eventually we'd get ravenously hungry and go chow down a pizza, burgers, french fries, ice cream or whatever we could get our hands on. Not exactly a perfect diet plan. Plus we also didn't realize that if you don't eat at regular intervals throughout the day, you can mess up your blood sugar and insulin levels. That can make your body STORE fat and lower your metabolism -- both of which lead to weight GAIN--not Ioss.   Booby trap #4: Mucha too mucha Simply put, many people just don't realize how much they're eating. Common ways to lose track include eating restaurant portions (studies show many restaurant meals are enough to nourish 2-3 people), eating while watching TV (so you're not paying attention to what you're shoveling in) or eating straight from a package (so you don't know how much you've inhaled until you see the empty bag). That, coupled with the fact that many people eat WAY too fast (so they don't get the "full" signal until LONG after they've had too much food) leads to many a pair of jeans that you need to lie on the bed to zip.   Booby trap #5: Diet pill disaster Most diet pills are designed to suppress your appetite while giving your body a source of some (synthetic) nutrients. There are two glaring problems with this. First off, any weight you drop when taking these pills will come rolling back on (and then some) once you stop the pills and start eating food again. And second, your body knows the difference between synthetic nutrients and those found in real foods. The pills just don't cut it in terms of nutrition.   Booby trap #6: Couch potato-itis I know this is THE thing you dread hearing the most, but I've got to be blunt. If you have any hopes of wearing those skinny clothes in your closet (or for some of you, seeing your toes again), you MUST move your body. Don't listen to those ads for BS products like pills or shakes that claim you don't need to exercise. They know that is what people want to hear. Remember, they want you to buy LOTS of their product and will say whatever it takes to make you do so, your health (and weight) be damned.   What DOES work for Iost pounds Now that you know the six common diet booby traps, I'll tell you what you SHOULD do to once and for all take off the pounds AND keep them off! It's a simple matter of 1, 2, 3: 1) Move your butt Pick an activity you like or can at least tolerate and DO IT 3-4 times a week. Even brisk walking is fine and you can do that practically everywhere. Studies show it helps to have an exercise buddy to keep you motivated. So grab a friend, your honey, the dog, a co-worker or whatever and get moving. No excuses. No "But, but, but..." Move it. Your "butt" will be SO glad you did.   2) Eat REAL foods At least half and preferably 75-80% of what you eat should be real foods. Real foods include fresh fruits, raw or lightly cooked vegetables, lean meats and poultry, fish, whole grains, dairy and essential fats...just not all in the same meal! When you eat real foods like these in the right combinations, your body gets nourished the way it needs to be. And when you're properly nourished, these wonderful things happen: - You get full faster and end up eating LESS overall. - The real foods you're eating are inherently lower in calories than the burgers, chips, candy or whatever other nutritionally dead foods you may have eaten in the past. - Because you're properly nourished, you'll also STAY full and satisfied longer, so your chances of binging between meals have just been slashed. All of this means: You the blubber falls off and stays off!   3) Make sure digestion is fast and efficient This is by far the most important point of all. If your foods are not being broken down like they should be, you're not getting the maximum nutrition from them. And that causes feelings of hunger which leads to overeating (and weight gain). In addition, when your digestion is poor, that leads to waste buildup in your colon which can also bump up that scale number. It can also cause constipation, gas, bloating and eventually diverticulosis. Attaining good digestion is easy--it's just is a matter of eating foods that digest well together, and giving your body a little assistance if needed. Here's how: 1- Easily digested meals It's essential to feed your body with real food and make sure your meals are easily digested and that you're getting nourished. Now don't worry because this is easy and tastes great, too. First off, the Great Taste No Pain health system will help you structure tasty, nutrient-loaded meals that are a breeze to digest. The manual "How To End Stomach Pain Forever, Even If Your MD Says, 'No Way!'" shows you the few simple principles you'll need to know to make meals that digest easily and efficiently. This will keep acid wastes moving out and help maximize nutrient absorption, which in turn will help keep YOU feeling full and satisfied. Goodbye constant feelings of hunger and overeating! Not only will you enjoy scrumptious, nutrient-rich REAL foods (just wait until you try the mouth-watering dishes in the recipe book!), but you'll LOVE seeing those pounds disappear before your very eyes. And if gluten is a concern for you, there's also Great Taste No Gluten. You'll learn the same food pairing principles as in Great Taste No Pain, plus you'll get a collection of outstanding gluten-free recipes and guides for staying gluten-free no matter where you are.   2- A little digestive "help": Many people who have eaten a lot of hard-to-digest foods all their lives may be dangerously low in digestive enzymes...blowing through many of their limited lifetime supply of enzymes with every bite. That means incomplete digestion, lots of pain and an invitation for weight gain. That's why it's critical that when you eat some foods you know aren't healthy or won't digest well...you get some digestive "help" during moments of weakness. The help you need is right here -- Digestizol Max. Digestizol Max helps your body break down whatever you've eaten--proteins, fats, carbs, fiber--and conserves your precious enzyme supply. This will help keep your digestion running smoothly, even if you're low in enzymes or you massively screw up with your food choices. Remember, antacids don't help you digest foods. They halt digestion. But digestive enzymes promote digestion. Read more about Digestizol Max and all the ways it can help you here:   Try it and see how infrequently you'll need those nasty antacids.   Don't be trapped any longer! Look, if you want to once and for all shed the weight and keep it off, avoid the booby traps and do what really works. When you exercise, eat real foods, have good digestion and absorb nutrients like Nature intended, your body works the way it's supposed to. And that includes achieving and maintaining a normal weight easily and effortlessly! If that sounds good to you, see for yourself how effective a healthy diet and efficient digestion can be.

Hi Sherry, I have been struggling with being overweight and weight Ioss seems to elude me no matter what methods I try. A few weeks ago I was doing my daily walking/jogging on my normal route and bumped into an old friend. I could not avoid the fact that I barley recognized him as he had Iost approximately 35 pounds since I had last seen him! He shared his story of suffering with acid reflux and how he finally found an eating plan (Great Taste No Pain) that helped curb his acid reflux and heartburn. One of the benefits of the "Great Taste No Pain" diet was weight Ioss. I immediately got on-line decided to try your Great Taste No Pain plan. Since practicing the food mixing combinations 2 weeks ago I have Iost 6 pounds and no longer have a bloated belly. Thanks to you I will continue the program and have no doubt that I will be healthier and happier in the years to come.
