Obesity and Weight Loss

Today you have a good chance of getting diabetes or becoming obese or both. And if you do, then chances are you will be in for a long life filled with pain, discomfort and little quality in your life.

First, obesity means, your total body weight is at least thirty percent fat. When this happens, everything starts shutting down.

One muscle cell burns off seven times the amount of one fat cell. The more muscle tissue you have the more calories you will burn, even by just sitting. There is no easy way around this, you are going to have to get off your butt. Incorporating, diet, exercise and movement in your life is really your only healthy choice.

America has an obesity and diabetes crisis because of your approach to it, not the numbers they supply on your charts. Here are five points to remember:

Determine HOW you are motivated

Determine the REASONS behind the unwanted behaviors.

Develop a great support system

Eat for fuel not for taste

Keep being active.
