STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT MOST PEOPLE GAIN WEIGHT IN CERTAIN PLACES: LIKE BAKERIES, PIZZA PARLORS, AND ICE CREAM SHOPS.

Yeah, it’s true. A survey conducted on more than 20000 people has shown that most of the obesity comes from Bakeries, Pizza Parlors and ice-cream shops. It’s a very serious trouble and America should get rid of it otherwise American population is on RISK.

LOL….Oh! Come on. Nothing is special there, it’s an obvious fact and no studies have shown that and I think no studies need to show that. Every one knows that Junk Foods are the main reasons of obesity and all above places are huge stores of junk foods. Some facts that you need to know (And, I am serious now) -

1. Researches found that 83 percent of high schools and 67 percent of middle schools now have contracts with a soft drink manufacturer.
2. Participation rates in outdoor activities are lower and TV, online games, Ipods and PSP etc are main reason to it.
3. One in four ads shown during TV shows advertises Junk Foods, Soft drinks, sweets etc. Children do believe to follow what’s happening on TVs.
4. Skipping breakfast and visiting Pizza-hut is the newest trend, not with teenagers only but also with older ones.
5. Most of the internet users especially gals, do like to visit online fitness programs and only a few of them are interested in out-door activities.

So, researches have shown above 5 facts. Now, it’s my time so I’d say..

“Creating the perfect environment is not easy but choosing the perfection is not tough”.

Perfection means good eating habits, whether it’s you or your kid.

Obesity shows that you’re not conscious about your body and especially diet and it also shows that you’re suffering from a disease which is being observed as a public health problem in America.

Here’s the list of diseases which you’d be suffering from (however, I really don’t want that), if you’re obese:-

1. Congestive Heart Failure: Obesity results in congestive heart failure. It’s the condition where heart can’t pump enough blood to body’s different organs.

2. Infertility: Infertility also comes because of obesity and it makes men or women unable to contribute to conception.

3. Fatty Lever Disease: Excessive amount of fat may cause lever-damaging inflammation which can produce irreversible liver scarring or lever cancer also.

4. Hernia: occurs when the contents of a body cavity bulge out of the area where they are normally contained.

5. Colorectal Cancer: the third most common of cancer and the second cause of death come with Obesity.

6. Breast Cancer: Take care!!! Ladies, as breast cancer is the most common cancer among women and obesity leads to it.

7. Low Back Pain: Obesity may also result in low back pain.

8. Headache: It’s a condition of pain in the head which may be another result of obesity.

Other diseases are: Depression, Low Self Esteem, Body Dysmorphic Disorder and Asthma, Type 2 Diabetes, Immobility etc. A lot of more diseases are there, but I think we should not waste out time to count the diseases, let’s find here the solutions.

Normally, most of the people think that being overweight and being obese, both are the same. But nay, it’s not like that. Lot of difference is here between an overweighed person and an obese person. Let’s see what dictionary says:

Overweight: Weighing more than is normal, necessary, or allowed, especially having more body weight than is considered normal or healthy for one’s age or build.

Obesity: The condition of being obese; increased body weight caused by excessive accumulation of fat.

Well, whom we consider an overweight? Any person who has extra fat but body is capable to carry it. Overweightness is obviously bad, but it’s controllable and an overweight person doesn’t look shapeless as obese does.

Overweight turns into obesity when you don’t control your diets and foods. If you’re a fleshy person, then, extra care should be given to whatever you eat and whatever you do. Because risks are more for you; as compared to normal people. Control yourself at this stage otherwise the next stage will let you feel just helpless.

Being slim or muscular is easy for a fleshy person but once you get obese; it becomes not impossible but so difficult. So, just get ready to be muscular from overweight, don’t wait to be obese from overweight. Don’t know how to decide whether you’re overweight or obese?? Following may be helpful for you-

→ An adult who has a BMI between 25 and 29.9 is considered overweight.

→ An adult who has a BMI of 30 or higher is considered obese.

Ever faced such kind of situation?? Or you do dislike traveling via airplane? Or you can’t sit in the same position for a long time?? Or finds it tough to sit in a seat that’s made for someone half your size?? I am not kidding you!!!

Well, if you answer any one of the above as ‘Yes’, then, you’re obese. And, I don’t know whether it’s true or not, but I have heard of obese people having to pay for two seats since they take up a lot of extra space. A few months ago, I was just like you. At that time, I was defining myself by saying that airplane seats are shrinking and the seats and gangways are being smaller and narrower. Ah!! Truth is so bitter. I was being honest with me when reality was something else. So, I faced the reality when a lady sitting near to me while I was flying from Texas to New York “You should control your weight as it’s crossed off all the boundaries.” I thought she is right so started my weight loss quest and lost extra 35 pounds. Recently, took a few flights and happy to say that now I am able to fit comfortably into the airplane seats. Ah! Have a sigh of relief.

Think for a while, all airlines will get vanished if they’ll allow a person to pay for one seat but take up two seats. I am able to sit (or we must say, fit) into a single seat so I think no need to pay for double fare. So think before, if planning for a flight. Going to pay a double fare or going to get slim and healthy!!! I think it’s not so tough to decide.

Having some doubts or questions about Weight loss, then, here are the answers-

What, if I am a yo-yo dieter?

Ans: Well, you’re a yo-yo dieter so I should not say directly but as your true guide, I am not going to hide the truth. Yo-Yo diets can send your body into defense mode which is harmful.

What Starvation Mode is and how to avoid it?

Ans: When you eat few calories per day, body may enter into starvation mode. It will slow down your metabolism and also your ability to lose weight. In general, woman should not go below 1,200 calories and men shouldn’t go below 1,500 calories.

What is the best weight loss pill?

Ans: Well, honestly, I’d say ‘NO ONE’. Weight loss pills are never meant for, what they’re being used for. Try to avoid those so called ‘weight loss pills’.

One of my friends lost weight, why doesn’t the same strategy work for me?

Ans: Each own of us is having different body type (Read out now, which is of yours). So, sometime it happens and the best strategy for your friend doesn’t work for you. However, some online Fat loss Programs are available and you may pick the best one for your specific body type.

Is it possible to keep the weight forever?

Ans: Yeah, definitely, it’s possible. Read my previous post on the same subject.

Can I lose weight and gain muscle at the same time?

Weight loss and muscle gain can be done simultaneously. In fact, most of the online Fat Loss Programs are written with same strategy. So, you can be a loser and a gainer at the same time.

So, these are basic question which most of the people ask. If you do have any more, kindly let me know. I’d like to answer. After all, I want you to be the healthiest person on this planet.

You may be well known about vitamin D’s part in building better bones, but you may be unknown about its importance for overweight people. It’s a scientifically proven fact that many of us are not in taking the sufficient amount of vitamin D or some are even D-deficient. If you’re an obese as well as vitamin D – deficient, then, you’re especially at the risk.

The absence of vitamin D creates interference with the functioning of a hormone called leptin, which signals to the brain that you are full and should stop eating. Overweight people are inclined to spend most of their time indoors. It results again in take them away from the ultraviolet rays of the sun.

Luckily, leptin’s actions can be re-stored by replenishing vitamin D in the bloodstream to normal levels. Well, it’s not so easy to get enough Vitamin D, just from diet sources alone, supplementation is also needed. Along with that, 10-15 minutes of unprotected sun walk thrice a week is also helpful. Oh! Don’t worry ladies, after 10 minutes you can use sunscreen.

So, you know what was the reason of my quest????  

Let’s begin with the beginning of this journey. It was not so easy and there was a moment when I thought, it’s impossible and I was just to leave all this. But as you know, things happen and you can’t stop them to happen.

From where to start? First option was, went to my friend and told her what I was feeling. She asked me to join gym and also suggested to cut-down my fave dishes means dieting. Okay all right, I started that and joined a gym being run by a famous fitness expert. Oh! that tough exercises and weight lifting what they asked me to do. But in order to gain something, you need to hard work so in order to gain weight loss, I was continuously following them. But, one and half month is over and NO RESULTS.

Secondly, started searching online and believe me innumerous websites are offering same services. Which is the best and is okay with my trouble? It was the next question to be answered. So, very scarily (after lot of researching), I chose a fitness program and I’d not like to post its name due to some reasons. It asked me to eat more calories and fewer proteins and also some exercises were to follow. I was following the program and when I checked my weight after 15 days (as prescribed in program), it was not less but was more and I was at 185 pounds from 176 pounds. What the hell, they people are doing??? I don’t know, religiously.

Yeah, yeah, I also consulted with my doc and the pills, supplements, prescribed by her, again useless.

That was the point when I thought to leave all this and to commit suicide. I don’t want to blackjack you, it was the reality whether you believe or not. But something brought me what I was looking for; about which I’ll tell in future posts.        

Okay, let me take you in little flashback… it was January 2nd …a special day when my friend was getting married and I was going to be a bridesmaid in her wedding. Those days were just for shopping, shopping and shopping ……
One day, in a mall, she picked up a dress and gave it to me n said, ‘hey, try it, it’s the best for you to wear on wedding day’.

Very quickly, I was in try room, but what’s that?? I was unable to fit in that because I was fat or whatever you’d like to say. That was the first day when I realized that something is here that needs changes. And yeah, it was my body shape. I was not in mood to look so fatty and shapeless bridesmaid. But what to do?? I decided to do something and believe me I was completely unknown about Fat loss methods and programs. But finally, I got it and will tell you the whole process through this blog. Before that look what was I and what I am now…..
