Do you need to improve your fitness?

Nov 152011

We all know that a healthy diet is 80% of what we need to do to become healthier and feel better about ourselves.

Equally we need to add some form of exercise to that eating plan

If you are really serious about trying to regain your happiness and become fitter and healthier at the same time – then you need to look into this product. Just talking about getting fit is never going to make it happen.

I know that the idea of being seen in my current shape in any place where I am starting to make an effort to get thinner and fitter is most likely going to be very embarrassing and for that very reason I keep putting the whole idea off.

So why not try a method that you can do in the privacy of your own home and at your own pace.

By actually paying for a training system you are more likely to stick to some sort of routine, and the fact that you could do it quietly and at your own speed really works for me.

Why not click on the picture and go and see what the product offers you?

What do you have to lose?

LOL – well some money for starters, but you could also lose a lot of that weight that you have so comfortably wrapped around yourself!

I have written a page on obesity in teenagers and I will give you the link at the end of this post.

The idea is to get as many people that care as possible to help overcome the growing problem that we face here in South Africa on the teenage obesity issue.

It has never helped anyone to hide away from their problems, but as this country seems to be gaining other supposedly bigger problems almost daily – serious problems like the teenage obesity thing – is getting left out of the powers that be’s thoughts.

What is needed is for people to be aware of the problem, and to stand by each other and see if there is a way that we can make a difference.

My name is Rob Anderson, and I have only recently started this website and hope to build it up to a point where we are supporting others like myself with an obesity problem and looking for solutions that actually do work.

Please go to the new page that I have just completed and add you comments and get involved

Obesity cures -The mental strength needed to do it

obesity and exercise 2 Responses »

Apr 052011

It is easy for me to write about obesity cures and mental strength.

It is actually applying mental strength to curing obesity that is hard.

Skinny people are skinny for two reasons (just relax – this is a joke!) Firstly they obviously hate food – this is possible a given otherwise they would not be skinny.

Then they might have a medical condition that keeps then thin, but actually they probably have so many issues that it forces them to make sure that they keep their “image” correct above all else.

And then they never get picked on for those mental issues that they have.

Those like me that are full of issues that keep me fat (Ok obese) have to continually suffer the do-gooders that think that they need to fix me all the time. It is not very fair that they cannot “see” the skinny peoples issues, so they feel the need to save me. Crap I am sick of it.

However it is true that there are times that I wish that I did have the mental strength to be able to control my eating/exercising combination long enough to get a little thinner.

I an not a complete moron – I know why I am fat, I even know why I do not like to exercise and prefer to eat happily.

Now does that make me the moron – instead of the do gooder, or the skinny person? Damn it can get tiring.

So to the real reason I have come here to write this post – I know that getting past the point where you have made a serious decision to do something about your health and weight is something that is huge. However I know from other things that I have done that takes effort – like giving up smoking and the mental strength that you need is massive.

My personal take on the subject is this. You REALLY have to want to fix the problem, and then have a carefully set out plan that allows for your personal frailties, and then you stick to that plan.

Not some diet plan that you copied out of a magazine. You need to adjust everything to your personality or you will likely fail in your efforts.

Finally before I go – I would like to mention that I published a page on mental conditioning relating to your obesity and weight loss issues.

Obesity Dieting and your mental strength

Water is Your Fishtank – weightloss and water

obesity and diet No Responses »

Mar 242011

Water is your fish-tank?

Yeah I know – sometimes I confuse even myself.

Our bodies run on food and water – your weight gain and loss is very heavily affected by your water levels.

Firstly let me explain about the FISH-TANK analogy.

Ask yourself this question…

If your goldfish was very sick – do you fix the water or get the fish pills for its sickness?

Now remember that you are only as healthy as your bodies water.

Without even considering exercise, do you find yourself having a headache on a daily basis?

Do you feel lethargic, or even a little “down in the dumps?”

If so, don’t immediately jump to the conclusion that you have a disorder of sickness of any kind. Because, more than likely, you are suffering from a simple state of dehydration. Yes, nothing that a little water cannot fix. No need to even take Tylenol with that water, as hydration is almost an instant cure for that nagging headache.

But, what part does water play in your weight loss plan?

Everybody knows that we need to replenish ourselves during moderate to heavy workouts because of the liquid our body loses in the form of sweat. Drinking water will, of course, solve this issue. It should be nothing more than common knowledge to anybody embarking on a weight loss regiment. What people may not know, though, is the important of water to other vital functions indirectly related to the weight loss plan and, ultimately, its success.

With that said, it is important to remind you that drinking water should be an ordinary event – not just an exercising event. What does that mean?

Rather than reaching for that juice, beer, or soda in the fridge, pour yourself a large glass of water instead. First, it is much more healthy than anything you currently have in the fridge. Water is pure and your body will love you for it. Drinking water more times a day will help replenish your bodies reservoir. Yes, even when you aren’t exercising or sweating, your system is losing water. For example, did you know that you lose, on average, a pint of liquid everyday simply from breathing? But, water pays a much more important role in weight loss than simple hydration.

First, answer this: What is the purpose, scientifically, of weight loss?

If you answered to burn fat, then you are absolutely correct. Weight loss is only achieved when you are capable of burning the reserved fat deposits in your body. But, did you know, that without the proper amounts of water in your system that this is not at all possible?

Your body is a very complex system, obviously, and it is not capable of metabolizing, or processing without storing, fat without good old water. A little bit of a shocker, right? Plant Earth’s largest stored natural resource is also the main ingredient when it comes to proper weight loss. Forget about buy all of those different weight loss pills and other “specialized” dieting drinks and smoothies. Water, which is all you need, is free and readily accessible whenever you need it.

So what is the correct amount of water needed for proper hydration throughout the day? While it does vary depending on weight, sex, and general body attributes, the general medical consensus is that approximately ten eight-ounce glasses of cold and crisp water a day will be enough to fulfill all the differing functions it does within your body.

That may sound like a lot of fluid intake. But, if you spread those glasses of water throughout the day, you will be happily surprised on how easy it actually is to drink the proper amount. You may even find yourself going above and beyond.

The secret to weight less isn’t much of a secret. It isn’t expensive and it isn’t a rarity. It is water, which is free, plentiful, and mind numbingly simple to implement into your daily weight loss activities.

Start to burn off your excess weight today – and remember to think about your body being like a fish tank.

By keeping the water levels correct and keeping the water pure you are most likely to have the best chance to combat weight problems or obesity.

Obesity can be beaten by eating correctly

obesity and diet No Responses »

Mar 242011

Stop trying to eat less – rather start to eat right and start to beat your battle with obesity right now.

Your natural objection to dieting will simply not become a roadblock to your plan to change your main meals and a few simple eating habits.

The best thing about approaching a plan to battle gross overweight problems with a simple idea is that it could change your life without you feeling bullied into another crappy system.

Decide to do it yourself without telling anyone – and do it one meal at a time. Weight-loss – or in my case – controlling my bad weight gaining habits can only be done from a change in what I do.

When it comes to dieting, there is a societal stigma that tends to state that eating less is the correct way to have a successful diet.

While this is certainly correct given the right conditions, it is fundamentally flawed in its very nature. First, saying that one has to “eat less” to positively change their weight situation is too of an overarching statement. It would be much more correct to say that the dieter has to “eat less of which is bad.” For example, high-in-calorie food would definitely stake claim in this area of intake subtraction. Maybe foods that are high in starch, but low in nutritional value, would also fall in this category. Let’s not immediately blame all of these on our weight problems, though. It should be noted that calorie consumption is a cause of weight problems in the world.

But, taking extreme majors during a diet and cutting as many calories as possible in order to achieve your goals is much more damaging than anything you could do.

Why?

Well, because calories are to our body to what gasoline is to our cars. We need calories to operate, to even exist. Without calories, it is all but likely that you would not even have the proper amount of energy to do your exercise. See the negative trend here? By cutting calories out of your diet, you are essentially damning your progress from the very beginning. Proper calorie intake, as determined by your body stature and age, can stay relatively the same during your exercise program.

For the most part, calories become bad for your body and, hence, your weight loss goals when you are sedentary more often than you are active. Daily activity, even as little as playing with your dog or cleaning your house, is typically enough to offset normal and healthy calorie consumption. With that in mind, it is necessary for you to evaluate what type of calories you are consuming during the course of a typical day.

Are you consuming the calories in the forms of burgers, or in the more healthy form of chicken and rice? Both are excellent sources of flavor and delightful goodness – but the calories inherited from the burger is much more damaging to the casual loss of calories through daily activity than those calories ingested from the chicken and rice. The ability to casually lose weight with a simple, but effective, exercise plan is ultimately tangled very closely with your daily decisions.

For example, rather than eating that carb-packed bagel with cream cheese for breakfast, why not substitute in fresh and delicious grapefruit? Or maybe you could eat a cup of yogurt with some oatmeal tossed in for additional texture? The smallest of chances can make the largest of differences in the long run. Finally, don’t think that making these calorie conscious decisions will be enough to reach your weight loss goals. Because they aren’t and won’t.

The proper planning of your dietary intake while not cutting out too many calories will only succeed in benefiting your plan if it is paired with a proper routine of exercise and fitness. When put together, you will start to see the results you are looking for. And, with patience and time, you will surpass your goals and become a much healthier and leaner you.

A long running battle with obesity can only be won with a long running plan to fight back over a period of time.

However by eating the correct way, and perhaps changing some other small details along the way – (like drinking 6 glasses of water in the morning – and eating a bigger meal in the morning rather than at night) you can plan your obesity-beating war by planning it in small campaigns. If your small campaigns become your new habits -one-by-one you will be the winner in the end.

Say the words out loud! “I do not want to be obese”. Then start to apply a plan.

Combat Obesity by becoming a morning person

obesity and exercise No Responses »

Mar 232011

Combating obesity is all about a combination of different factors.

Naturally I am aware that it will be a massive lifestyle change coupled with controlled medical advice for those of us that have reached a level where it has become a chronic problem.

However if you follow this advice here and start to fight obesity by applying this single change you are possibly on your way to getting your obesity and happiness under control.

It seems like such a mundane question: “When is the best time to exercise?” Most people would answer that the best time to exercise is when it is most convenient for you. The roundabout story is that today’s society is much more busy and on “the go.” Or maybe people have excuses dealing with rising a family, or even having a newborn in the house to care to. Rather than viewing these types of occurrences as reasons to not exercise, you should start to look at them as reasons to build more consistency and accountability into your exercise schedule.

More importantly, this can also be viewed as a reason to get into the habit of exercising in the morning – before the day-to-day tasks that ordinarily bog you down even have a chance to begin. While that reason, and that reason alone, should be more than enough to convince you that exercise is best suited for the mornings, there is a more scientific approach to this weight loss reasoning.

First, we all know the feeling after we exercise. That is, we typically feel more energetic and ready to “tackle the world” because of the endorphins that are released into our bodily system. We all know, and can appreciate, how wonderful the feeling is to feel like nothing can hold you down and that you are ready to conquer anything. So, with that pleasant thought still in your mind, imagine getting that feeling first thing in the morning and having that with you through the majority of the day. It just seems logical that you would get more accomplished, thus feeling better about yourself at the end of the day.

Second, exercising in the morning allows your body to get its metabolism up and running. The alternative is having your metabolism get a slow start and having your breakfast turned into unnecessary fat intake.

Seems like a good idea to exercise in the morning now, right? Scientifically speaking, exercising in the morning is known to keep your metabolism running in high gear for up to 24 hours. The simple act of exercising early in the day is likened to having an automatic fat-burning machine throughout the remainder of your morning, afternoon, evening, and night. Again, this reason by itself should be enough to convince you to become a early riser.

Third, becoming accustomed to waking up in the morning at the same time everyday to exercise will eventually place your bodily system on a regulatory sleeping cycle. Without this regular cycle, your body is continuously disoriented in terms of waking up. Why is this important? Well, by influencing your body to become regulated into a sleeping pattern, it will reward you by synching both your endocrine and circadian systems into the pattern. What does this mean? In other words, you body will know that it is nearly time to wake up and begin to “power up” your other system in preparation for the day. You will wake up without that sluggish feeling, which will ultimately lead you to feeling like you are capable of exercising.

It is important to become a morning person in your effort to lose your unneeded and unwanted weight and get a start in your fight against obesity.

Aside from the physical contributions, becoming an early riser includes physio and psychological incentives that make it well worth your while.

Finally I just wanted to add that for any of us to start to gain back all the lost years to being too overweight to really enjoy everything – Obesity can be sorted out until it becomes just a small weight problem, or a matter of just being unfit.Taking the ideas and plans like this one and applying them one at a time is a great way to combat a chronic obesity problem

Welcome to my website about Obesity in South Africa.

I have already done a lot of research on the problems that South Africans face in relation to being overweight, obese and generally very unfit.

Unfortunately we live in a society (worldwide – but very prevalent in SA) that is under increasing pressure from all fronts.

There is a global economic recession that has impacted upon the South African economy that is one of the major contributing factors.
Because of the lack of structured employment – South African are under huge pressure to either maintain their current state of employment or are simply struggling to meed their daily requirements.
Other very important factors like crime all impact upon the stresses that we as South Africans carry as burdens in our daily lives.
Finally one of the biggest contributing factors is “tradition”. This is not just a black South African problem (as I suspect – a lot of you immediately thought), but relates to all ethnic groups and covers the traditional feasts that are considered normal like “braaiing”. It is all to easy for communities to get together an hold food related gatherings and eat and drink non-stop all day as a form of entertainment. For anyone struggling with an overweight problem this becomes something that is almost unavoidable – and naturally compounds their efforts to sort out their obesity forever.

I am going to try to cover solutions and supply you with as many facts as possible here on this website, and do my best to keep it written in normal English – and not all medical-speak.

While I am on the subject, and have your attention – if you are a specialist or expert in the field of health and or obesity – I would be very happy to publish any related information that you feel is important for people to know.
