Health care alert - The obesity rate has skyrocketed

Yes the rate of obesity has skyrocketed and we are now meet a proverbial point. Do we continue to be so gluttonous or do we begin to turn back and make the necessary changes that will restore us to better health.

I believe the problem stems in the fact that nobody truly knows what to do. All the fad diets like the ATKINS diet and the high carb, low protein diets LIFE CHOICE WEIGHT WATCHERS MACROBIOTIC they all will claim to be the one and only way to weight loss when in reality they are literally designed to keep your weight fluctuating, that way you will always come back for more.

More money is all they care about. Repeat income is generated every time you fail.
So what you need to do is find out why you gain weight. And believe it or not you will find that you really only gain weight for a very few different ways.

One reason would be that you are not on a consistent regiment of exercise. It is one of the key factors to building muscle and muscle is what you are aiming for, when one is looking to lose fat. Another reason is that you do not know which foods make you fat and which ones don't
So when you combine these elements you risk out of control weight gain.

What you need to do is begin with the basics. Waking up and going for a walk each and every morning is an excellent way to begin a workout routine. From there all you have to do is add to it.

Go to a park where you can feel comfortable working out and than start doing some basic sit ups and push ups. Concentrate on doing a certain number of sets. A good number to start out with is 3. And I recommend doing as many reps until you can't do anymore. For someone that is heavily obese that may only be five or ten reps.

But most people can do at least 20 reps just starting out. Than when you are done than do three more sets. And remember to drink a lot of water that will also help you to lose weight. Now every time you exercise try adding a few reps to each set that way you can be confident that you are making progress.

What you want to do is begin to break up your workouts into specific muscle groups for specific days. So for example you want to focus on your abs and your triceps one day and than your bis and chest the next day.

That way you give your muscles a solid break in between workouts. Look out for my next post where I will teach you the specifics to the one and only diet designed to help you keep the weight off.
