EAT MORE & LOSE WEIGHT: Never Diet Again

 

Weight problems are rare in populations where a lot of natural

fruits, vegetables and whole grains are consumed. But excess

weight is a common problem in developed countries like the United

States, where the progress of scientific and technical development

has led to the common use of processed and refined foods. One of the

obvious effects of this move is the high caloric intake resulting

from the decreased volume of processed foods. In other words, over-

consumption of calories to fill the stomach, which leads to an

overweight problem. The problem is a new one; never before has man

had so wide a choice-or so regular a supply-of good food; or such

easy access to vehicles that even natural exercise such as walking

requires a special effort.

 

Here're few suggestions to lose and maintain proper weight:

 

* Knowing the proper diet and nutrition is the only solution to

permanent weight control. (For example, fruits and vegetables

are good for you not only because of lower calories and lack of

saturated fat, but because they contain high fiber content and

require more chewing.)

* The methods of cooking are as important as food selection. For

example, fries contain 42% fat as compared to 1% in a baked potato.

* Weight control methods from fad diets to behavior modification

never work--definitely not as easy as suggested.

* Fat children grow as fat adults. Therefore, it is never too early

to introduce children to proper eating habits.

* Weight control not only improves your health but protects from

cancer and heart problems.

* Eat a variety of foods, so that you get proteins, carbohydrates,

fats, minerals and vitamins. Keep the ratio of calories from

protein, carbohydrate and fat close to 15%, 60% and 25% of your diet,

respectively.

* You need to keep in mind that caloric and nutritional requirements

change with age. For example, pay more attention to foods that build

bones and muscle in teenagers, and foods that supply sufficient

calcium in senior years (60 years plus).

 

Here're some economic, social and personal reasons for weight

control:

(1) Over 10 billion dollars are spent annually on weight reduction

efforts in the United States. (2) The 10 billion dollar figure does

not include the medical costs resulting from the obesity-related

diseases. (3) Approximately 100,000 coronary by-passes are performed

yearly at an average cost of $50,000 each (i.e. $5 billion per

year). (4) About 1,000 people in the U.S. alone die

 

everyday of cancer. (5) Proper diet and nutrition could save us and

our nation most of the above expenses. (6) Proper diet and

nutrition can save an individual insurance and medical bills; and

help national health care crises.
