Healthy lifesytle leading to a good weight

[Guest guest]

Here is a good article about reducing weight and maintaining healthy weight. Of course, weight-reduction programs etc., do not make much sense, and weight is not an indicator of how healthy a person is and this article is not about weight-reduction. Some portions of the article talks about how a healthy lifestyle can automatically lead to a good weight.

 

Am just pasting the relevant portion of the article. You can read the full article here (which actually talks about why gastric bypass surgery is not need for weight loss and obesity):

.....The real problem is rather obvious: she has a brain chemistry imbalance that's causing cravings for

carbohydrates. So the real problem for Raechel was initially a brain chemistry balancing issue, not the fact that she had too much stomach and needed to have part of it stapled shut or surgically removed. All she needed to do was balance her brain chemistry.

 

So how do we balance our brain chemistry using natural methods, without turning to prescription drugs or radical surgical procedures? The answer is rather straightforward. I'm willing to bet this is something that Raechel didn't try: natural sunlight. Exposure to natural sunlight has a powerful effect on brain chemistry, and especially on

carbohydrate cravings. It works because lack of sunlight results in an increase of melatonin in the brain, which competes for

serotonin, and when a person does not have adequate exposure to natural sunlight, melatonin levels are high and serotonin levels are low, causing extreme carbohydrate

cravings. This can be quite simply reversed by getting daily exposure to natural sunlight on your skin without sunscreen, thereby suppressing the melatonin and allowing serotonin levels to naturally climb. In time, carbohydrate cravings will be dramatically reduced. Carbohydrate cravings can also be further suppressed by choosing your foods carefully. If you avoid all refined carbohydrates, such as bread products, breakfast cereals, soft drinks, and anything made with refined white flour or high fructose corn syrup, you will stabilize your appetite and blood sugar levels. Avoiding the consumption of such food ingredients automatically reduces carbohydrate cravings throughout the day, and this is why the Atkins diet and low-carb dieting in general has been so successful for so many people. The other thing you can do to suppress carbohydrate cravings is to engage in some sort of regular physical exercise. Even daily walking alters your brain chemistry in a powerful and positive way, reducing carbohydrate cravings and enhancing the production of healthful brain chemicals that automatically lead you to healthier dietary choices. These are just a few of the many things a person can do to balance their carbohydrate cravings and alter their brain chemistry in a healthful way, without turning to prescription drugs or radical surgical procedures such as gastric bypass surgery....

And yet, note that none of these things generate any profits whatsoever for organized medicine. There's no drug here, there's no surgical procedure here, in fact, there's nothing here that even needs a doctor. You can go outside and get sunshine on your own, every day, absolutely free, at no charge. You don't need approval of the FDA, you don't need 20 clinical trials telling you that sunlight is good for you, and you don't need the advice of a doctor to get sunlight and benefit from it. You also don't need medical personnel to help you make healthier food choices. You simply need to educate yourself about nutrition, and the difference between healthy foods and unhealthy food, and by the way, that information is not generally known by physicians because nutrition is not taught in medical schools. So when people say that they are undergoing gastric bypass surgery after " trying everything " , the truth of the matter is they haven't tried everything, and probably they haven't even tried the basic things such as natural sunlight, exercise and food choice. If you try those three things, and actually do them, and still manage to remain extremely obese, only then does it make sense to seek additional help, and even in that case, gastric bypass surgery should be something that's considered only as a last resort. The interesting thing about all this is that even if you have gastric bypass surgery, you will have to control your food choices after the surgery, making sure you don't eat too much sugar, that your portion sizes are very small, and that, for example, you eat your protein first. If you would just make these changes to your lifestyle before having the surgery, you probably wouldn't need the surgery at all. And you can live your life with your entire digestive system intact....
