Five habits that can contribute to being
overweight
Is your
lifestyle contributing to your weight gain? For healthy
people – weight gain is caused by simply consuming more
calories than you burn.
Unfortunately for most of us, our
healthy lifestyle education comes in the form of a blaring
commercial that is trying to convince us that eating this "lite"
food or using that "miracle exercise machine" will lead to a
healthy, fun, lean lifestyle! A healthy, lean lifestyle
takes effort and education. Hopefully these five steps will
get you started on a path to meet your weight loss goals.
 | Skipping meals and
then overeating when you make time to eat. Skipping meals
leads to blood sugar fluctuations, moodiness, and can even
lead to overeating. Eat healthy meals and snacks at
regular intervals. |
| Not moving your body.
The body is designed to move. Period. Exercise can
brighten your mood and lighten your body. |
| Drinking cola or
sugar drinks when you are thirsty. When your body is
thirsty it is asking for water. |
| Snacking on empty
calories. Being fat free or low carb does not make it
healthy. Empty calories (calories void of nutritional
value) do nothing for your body. |
| Watching an abundance
of TV. A recent article stated that you use less energy
while watching TV than while sitting still! |
Most of us do these
habits and are totally unaware of how unhealthy and
destructive they can be. Of course this article is not
telling you to never watch TV, or never snack – it is merely
trying to raise your level of awareness of some things you
may be doing that may be sabotaging your diet efforts.
Observe your habits and ask yourself if they are
contributing to a healthy lifestyle and an ideal weight or
are they contributing to an unhealthy lifestyle and being
overweight. Arm yourself with knowledge and achieve your
ideal weight.
