Hello!

I'll be talking about weight loss. I hope that this will be a learning experience for you

so why do you think people are concerned about their weight? I can give you a few reasons why this is so.

●some people have been abused because of their weight.

●some people have had health issues as a result of gaining so much weight

●women are concerned because of how they look. they're concerned because they don't feel sexy and attractive to the opposite sex and their spouses

●for men sometimes weight gain affects their performance in bed.

●some people have gained so much weight they know they are causing problems for relations and friends, who have to carry them around and take them to the hospital and so on...

These are just a few. But from a medical perspective, you can see the challenges that fat ( I'm sorry, I don't like using the word fat, its labeling or tagging people, but prefer using the word OBESE) people go through as a result of their weight.

so what causes weight gain?

●gaining weight can be genetic

●it can be a result of taking medications

●be as a result of a mental health problem

●It can still be in response to abuse ( which may be mental physical or emotional abuse)

●interestingly weight gain can be a result of growing old

●The poor habit of skipping meals too

so having seen these few points, I know you are eager to get to the meat of the matter which is how to lose weight effectively and keep it off permanently. I'll be honest with you there's no shortcut to keep weight off, because what it requires is a lot of commitment to start, and a ton of determination to do so.

PS: it's a lifestyle change, requiring continuous deliberate effort every day every time

meaning, it's going to require a complete overhauling of the diet, and eating habits as well as a lifestyle change

There are already a lot of fitness gurus and weight loss experts in the social media space saying so many different things, approaches, and fancy diet plans. I'm just here to tell you the nitty gritty and the most important things to make sure not only about keeping the weight off, but more importantly, start, shedding those pounds.

If there's no commitment to this process then there's no point in starting at all.

That's why I said I'm here to make sure you start the process. It starts with that decision...

To begin therefore I'd like to ask you a few questions requiring very short and simple answers

do you want to lose weight?

do you want to be healthy?

are you going to do what it takes to lose weight?

Long life and health are not only in what we eat and drink it also in our minds

Health is defined as physical emotional and mental ( even spiritual) well-being and not just the absence of disease

There is an easy way to do this. If you're interested, let me know in the reply...

For those who have taken time to look this over, I hope this will be of benefit to you even more...

There's a balance to eating and our daily movement or activity, that determines whether we continue to get bigger or really start losing weight permanently. The problem then for most and the reason for a 1000 and 1 books and write up is because of the cost of one drug or food type, time or stress to prepare or even exercise.

Not to mention, likely as a result of all the fasting and skipping meals, there's that sharp and painful chest pain which when it starts, is as if their enemy is going to die.

If you've read through the other articles or books or even the above, to motivate yourself to get up to start is a headache in its own. I must confess though, that's where the journey starts o...

If you mean to get there, all well and good. But it starts with the determination, your MINDSET. You can, only if you think so.

I mentioned the issue between eating and keeping the weight off. That's actually between healthy eating habits and regular and appropriate exercise or exertion to keep all the calories (that's just the energy values of the meals) off...

All that English, just means BALANCE. This is usually where most of the problem lies. You fast or skip meals in hope there's weight loss, but the meals eaten or snacks only end up maintaining or increasing the weight.

Therefore, there needs to be a change in the DIET, to a healthy one. That way the weight gain from eating is slower..., while the exercise continues to keep the weight off steadily.

Lastly but not least, this is a journey not travelled alone. FRIENDS AND FAMILY should or be encouraged to help, by reminding you, escorting you and support you should you trip up. (if that happens more than 2x, you've made it clear you're not ready then). Also seeing your doctor for follow up and regular check up remains imperative...
