bout 19 years ago, when I first came to Samoa, this small island in the South Pacific, people looked at me as a crazy guy from overseas...
What did I do? I was just running along the harbor in the late afternoon. People stopped to look and some of the few cars on the island stopped as well. Nobody was exercising in public.
Although Samoa has top athletes and one of the best Rugby Teams in the world, still nobody wanted to exercise in the middle of the town. Samoan people are big and strong and many are just far too big.
Today many years later it's a different story, it's crowded along the harbor walk in the evening and also at 6 am, in the morning. Both young and old are out there to get fit by building up muscles and hopefully losing weight.
However, there is still one BIG PROBLEM, that they never managed to control. This is a global problem. You have this problem anywhere in the world.
Weight loss, to many people, seems impossible and can be very frustrating but there is one simple step that you can take today that is like a secret key to losing weight and it's one of the most simplest things you can do.
When you decide that you're going to lose weight, very often, the first thing you decide is that you're not going to eat certain foods based on the number of calories that they contain or the amount of fat in them. And it's this decision that will get you off on the wrong foot and often leads you to giving up on your diet plan.
Calorie counting, as part of any diet plan, is quite hard to do for a number of reasons but it's mainly because you don't know for sure exactly how many calories you should be consuming on a daily or weekly basis. Everyone is different and calorie counting isn't a one size fits all solution for losing weight.
Losing weight is not just a goal. It is a means to a better life! It's about a new future and a new you.
Are you one of the 40% of Americans who wants to lose weight? Obesity is perhaps the largest and fastest growing health threat to the nation. According to the nonprofit Trust for America's Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, 44 percent of Americans will be obese by 2030. Another 30 percent will be overweight. Is excess weight a serious matter? Is it a personal issue for you? For those who say, "Yes", I hope the following pages will give you the initial jumpstart toward reaching your healthy, ideal weight.
Reasons to Lose Weight
In weight loss, the "why" may be just as important as the "how." You may need to consider these benefits you will gain as you lose those extra pounds.
So you want to get rid of that pesky belly fat. Well, eating the right types of food can go a long way in helping you achieve your goals. Like other types of body fat, belly fat is caused by an overabundance of calories in the human body, which means that if you want to get rid of your body's excess fat, you will need to start consuming food which have very little calories.
Fortunately, there are plenty of those. Foods that offer a relatively low calorie to volume ratio are quite common. Aside from the usual fruits and vegetables, lean meats, whole grains as well as low fat dairy products are also good bets if you want to keep your daily calorie intake to a minimum. The only problem, however, is that these kinds of food are generally less tasty than the ones that make you fat.
Losing weight has been a big dilemma for many people for a long time. For many years, slimming pills and other weight loss products have been created and sold yet no one can clearly tell which is effective. There are instances when some end up losing hope after trying so many methods. It can be tiring and stressful to go through various tough changes without seeing good results. On the other hand, there are ways to lose those extra pounds without feeling punished or starved. This article talks about the 90 Second Fat Loss program and how it works.
