Did you know that obesity is one of the leading causes of preventable death in North America? Even more disturbing is the fact that rates of childhood obesity have more than tripled in the past three decades!
The solution, of course, is deceptively simple - if you're overweight, you just need to improve your diet and increase your level of activity. Ya, right! If it's so simple, then why do so many of us have so much trouble actually losing weight and keeping it off?
For far too many of us, obesity is a lifelong struggle. The reason you're reading this article is because you've figured out something very important - doing nothing is simply not an option, because the consequences of doing nothing are so severe. In particular, obesity is linked directly to the development of a number of serious health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, sleep apnoea, and depression.
The worst alternative to doing nothing is fad diets. Many people are tempted to go for the quick fix, but complicated starvation diets, extreme exercise, and weight loss supplements have serious drawbacks that need to be considered.
Many fad diets cause you to shed water weight, an incredibly short-lived result that will be wiped out the moment you resume "normal" eating. And while starvation diets offer quick results, any dramatic fluctuations in weight can wreak havoc with your metabolism, and will invariably cause you to gain back all the weight you originally lost and then some! And beware of purportedly "safe" appetite suppressants and metabolism stimulants. These types of supplements can cause serious long-term harm to your health and, of course, the moment you stop taking them, the weight will inevitably return.
Don't be fooled - there's a reason the long-term results of risky weight loss methods are seldom mentioned. If you knew the truth, you wouldn't take the almost certain risk of long-term failure!
So if doing nothing and fad diets aren't options, then what's left? Healthy eating, exercise, and an abundance of patience are obviously going to be required, but what else is there? What, in other words, is the missing link between you and your ideal weight?
Statistics show that 95% of dieters will never lose weight and keep it off if they focus only on food and exercise. Their old patterns, unresolved emotional blocks, addictive habits and limiting beliefs will, sooner or later, cause them to rebound and spiral out of control... again and again.
Weight loss - and by this I mean permanent, long-term, effective weight loss - can only be achieved by targeting the root cause of overeating and health self-sabotage.
So what exactly is the root cause of overeating and health self-sabotage? All types of over-indulgence are caused by a lack of bio-balance. When the brain is out of bio-balance, it works against the body, causing cravings and stress that lead to overeating, weight gain, poor health, low energy, and depression.
The good news is that there is a way to increase fat loss and transform your body, improve your health, and create a better mindset without complicated starvation diets or extreme exercise!
