1. Lack of exercise,
2. Overconsumption of refined and processed foodstuffs, including all packaged and fast foods
3. Stress and emotional issues in your life

To lose weight, it’s a simple matter of burning more calories than you eat and by combining several balanced elements, such as good nutrition, exercise and healthy life style choices, weight loss can be achieved and maintained in the long term.

For serious long term results, stay well clear of any one product or company offering quick weight loss solutions. They are often more interested in financial gain than your well being. More importantly, quick fix solutions may be harmful to your health and digestive system.

Lose small amounts of weight at a time for long term results.

There is more to dieting than just cutting calories. You need to eat healthy foods and in the correct amounts so that you get enough carbohydrates, protein and fats, plus lots of vitamins, minerals, and fiber, while avoiding excess saturated fats, trans fats and sodium. The best way to do this is to plan your meals ahead of time, every day. Alternatively, try making up multiple servings of food on the weekend and freezing individual portions for use during the week.

For support and development of long-term lifestyle and dietary changes that fit your life to lose weight successfully and KEEP IT OFF, a great solution is to seek the advice of a qualified Exercise Physiologist and experts in the Nutritional Sciences. 

Exercise is a contributing factor to achieve a healthy body and mind, but remember the simplest forms of exercise such as walking are excellent. Just getting out for an hour a day or walking three times each week will help you trim those extra kilos. However, if you prefer the intensity of weight training or like the schedule of exercise classes, joining a gym is great. Work at whatever keeps you motivated.

Simple suggestions for a great gym program:

• Change your routine every 6-8 weeks as the body adjusts to what you are doing and needs to be challenged

• Your gym should provide to you a workout program and show you around the gym.

• Hire a personal trainer for a few sessions to get more comfortable with the equipment and for motivational purposes.

• See what classes are available and try various ones out, find one that suits you.

• Try to get a friend to join the gym with you or in most gyms you can advertise for a gym partner.

It is important to recognise how our metabolism works though in relation to your weight loss goals.

A lot of people will lose the most amount of weight in the first few days of a week and then they will find that it slows down. The reason for this is that the body will realise it is losing too much fat and it needs this to protect the skeletal system so it will slow down the metabolism which in turn reduces your ability to shed weight. People often become disheartened at this early stage and give up. Do not get discouraged and remember that perseverance is the key.

Aim to lose no more than 1.5kg to 2 kg a week which over a month could total 8kg. As these results have been achieved gradually you are more likely to retain the weight loss than when you lose it quickly. Remain strong; do not feel defeated if this doesn’t happen as quickly for you as it does for others. People sometimes comfort eat on these occasions and end up putting back on even more weight than when they started.

• Eat a natural wholesome, high fiber, low fat eating plan.

• Drink plenty of pure water daily. Always remember to sip your water slowly so your system can absorb it properly.

• Exercise on a regular basis and try to avoid stress.

• Chew food properly- average 8 to 10 times for every mouthful

• Refrain from having fluids with a meal as it washes food unprocessed through the system and can turn it into fat. Instead drink 30 minutes before and after each meal.

Good Colon Maintenance

A healthy lifestyle consisting of regular exercise, improving our nutrition by including plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, nuts, seeds, legumes and drinking plenty of purified water a day will help to keep those toxins at bay.

• Even the healthiest of people can suffer from problems with their digestion due to the fact that they do not process their food properly.

• Try keeping a food diary for a week, including not only breakfast, lunch and dinner but all the snacks in between. Seeing this information on paper of what you actually eat in a week may surprise you.
