Losing weight in a healthy way does not involve starvation or deprivation. That is why it is permanent. If you lose weight in a healthy way, you are likely to keep it off for good. Having established that your body needs a well balanced diet, with a good supply of carbohydrates, especially high - fiber foods, water vitamins and minerals, and a certain amount of protein and fat, you need to know how to put it into practice. We help you to achieve your goal.
MAIN CAUSES OF OBESITY –
Genetics: Overweight and obesity tend to run in families, suggesting a genetic cause. While you cannot change your genetic make-up, you can certainly change the diet and lifestyle habits, which you most likely share, with your family members.
Environmental Factors: These range from overeating, too much refined/fatty foods, lack of exercise and a sedentary lifestyle to psychological factors such as eating out of boredom, sadness or anger.
Disease conditions: Hormonal imbalances, hypothyroidism, and PCOS etc can be responsible for weight gain.
Medications: Corticosteroids and antidepressants may also result in overweight and obesity.
Though, the above reasons are contributory in weight gain, you may gain due to wrong choices of foods which slow down your metabolism and do not give you adequate energy. The solutions lies in carefully matching the various food with your physiology and including the most suited ones in your diet and restraining / moderating the intake of non-suitable foods. This approach along with the correct life style modifications goes a long way to lose weight, be healthier and to maintain the same as well.
