Being overweight is one of the most common health problems today. It is a disease that is slowly climbing to the number one spot on the list of killer diseases.
Eating to much food is the problem for the obese, or is it? Perhaps they don't understand themselves why they gain weight because a lot of the overweight population don't eat more calories than a thin person. So why do they gain a lot of weight while others don't?
Eat smart, not less. Easy? -Well, losing weight is easy. Ok? You need to understand that as it is the first step to be a successful dieter.
Your weight s based on a simple equation: Calorie intake - Calories used = negative or positive. If your equation get a positive number it means that you are storing calories as fat and if it is negative you burn fat to cover the extra usage. This is true under certain circumstances. You need to exercise and maybe do some weight lifting because if you don't tell your body that it needs the muscles it will break the muscle into energy and save your fat for a rainy day (remember that we have evolved over thousands of years and that our body is programmed on how to handle starvation).
Above I mentioned the problem that some have; Some people feel that they don't eat more than their friends and still they put on weight. It is possible that they even eat less. The difference is in the type of calories. We get our calories from fat, protein and carbohydrates. It is extremely important to have a good ratio between them. If you get most of your calories from fat you will gain weight. If you get to much of carbs you get fat. Ok, so besides the total calorie intake you should also know what type of calorie to eat.
Another important tip is that you must eat every four hours during the day. Do not skip any of those meals as it will mess up your insuline levels and that will make your dieting a failure.
