Exercise and Diet Strategy

Diet and Exercise – Loose it the Smart Way

Diet and exercise are essential for losing weight. It finally struck me that we have a serious weight problem in this country. I read that the IRS is going to give tax write-offs for certain diet and weight loss programs. If the Feds are willing to give up their precious revenue to encourage people to trim down, then the problem must be reaching epidemic proportion.

According to a recent study by Tufts University, Sixty-three percent of men and 55 percent of women over the age of 25 are overweight. Nearly one-quarter are obese, meaning they are at least 30 percent over their ideal weight. “It really is an epidemic,” states James Hill, Ph.D., director of the Center for Human Nutrition at the University of Colorado Health Science Center. “If being overweight were an infectious disease we would have mobilized the country. We would have declared a state of emergency.” Exercise and diet are the only method to address this national crisis.

Change your Lifestyle with Exercise and Diet

Two factors of our contemporary society have contributed to this serious problem, lack of exercise and absurd diets. Our over-indulgent eating habits and our sedentary lifestyle. And in order to successfully shed those unwanted pounds we must change our diet and increase our level of exercise.

But most of all we must go through a mental paradigm shift. And what exactly does that mean? To succeed in reaching our exercise and diet goals we must modify our minds and alter our perception of our self. Researchers are finding that people who successfully lose weight and keep it off just don’t alter the way they eat and exercise, they also go through behavior modification. They change habits that are deeply ingrained.

There are a number of exercise and diet techniques to assist you in making this leap of faith. This is not a bunch of cheerleading mantras from fitness gurus. These are methods found to be effective in various studies and research that will contribute a successful exercise and diet plan.

Atkins Diet

Proof that the Atkins Diet Works The Atkins diet is probably the most controversial weight loss plan. But regardless of the countless ridicule by medical and nutritional experts, latest studies show that it work and gets results. Two studies in one of medicine’s most distinguished journals show it really does help people lose weight faster without raising their cholesterol. Research in a recent issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, found that people on the high-protein, high-fat, low-carbohydrate Atkins diet lose twice as much weight over six months as those on the standard low-fat diet recommended by most major health organizations. Atkins Diet Books have sold 15 million copies since the first one was published in 1972.
