Healthy Weight Loss

by BizMum

The dieter’s Utopia. A healthy weight loss program that costs less than your monthly food bill. Is it even possible? But first there are a number of things you have to know about being overweight and losing weight the healthy way.

This is scary fact. For the first time ever the number of overweight people in the world has surpassed the number of starving ones. Global obesity is on the rise and the latest figures show that the number of overweight people worldwide may double by 2015.

Healthy Weight Loss

We all lead busy lives these days. Therefore simple, complete solutions to help with your weight loss and fitness goals are best in my opinion. When it comes to losing weight and keeping it off, we all face many of the same obstacles.

Overweight Risks

* An estimated 20% of all cancer deaths in the U.S. are linked to being overweight.
* Deaths from obesity related diabetes are projected to grow worldwide by 50% over the next decade.
* Obesity related heart disease kills 17 million yearly.
* Your risk of stroke goes up as body weight increases.

If you are 10-19% overweight you have a 50% increased risk of stroke; for people at least 20% overweight and considered obese, the risk doubles.

Health officials generally define overweight people as those with a BMI from 25 to 29, and obese people as those with a BMI above 30.
Obesity increases the risk of heart disease, diabetes, several types of cancer and other diseases. It is the single biggest reason for the increase in health care costs.

Therefore there really is a great reason to remain at a healthy weight. Often getting the right diet and the right nutrition can be a challenge for many. The reasons being the lack of nutritional knowledge, misleading advertising and costs.

But living a healthy lifestyle will pay off because the medical costs and the pleasure of a healthy and productive lifestyle more than makes up for any “perceived” expenses.

Why Diet?

Look at the stats about Body Mass Index. It appears very disconcerting indeed. Is it any wonder that dieting has gained such prominence? Dieting programs sell for hundreds of dollars to millions of people.

Studies used (BMI), a measurement that divides a person’s weight in kilograms by their height squared in meters to determine obesity. Researchers found that death rates were lowest in people who had a BMI of 23 to 24, on the high side of the normal range.

People who were moderately fat, with a BMI from 30 to 35, lost about three years of life. People who were morbidly fat — those with a BMI above 40 — lost about 10 years off their expected lifespan, that’s a mortality similar lifelong smoking.

Weight Management

Dieter’s three main challenges:
1. Eating right with the correct nutritional balance and cutting calories.
2. Boosting a tired metabolism and helping with energy.
3. Hunger pangs and the stresses that comes with dieting.

Good nutrition is the cornerstone of good health. Yet eating right to get the proper nutrients to maintain a healthy body and mind can be challenging. While many of us take supplements, they are not all created equal.

Eating right is a challenge for most of us. This is why 49% of our food dollars are spent on fast food, and only 25% of us eat the recommended amount of fruits or vegetables each day. If your busy lifestyle doesn’t allow you the time you need to find, cook and eat healthy foods, then you need to supplement your diet. You need a game plan for dieting success.

The best nutritional and food dieting plans are simple to follow. No more counting calories or trying to balance how to get the right mix of nutrients within your calorie limit. You can define how you use it to meet your lifestyle, even a lifestyle that’s on the go.
Body and Mind Performance

Really bio available nutrition boosts your body and your brain. Sometimes mixes can provide that and the bonus it’s portable in packs. Energy drink mixes made with healthy ingredients will fuel you with powerful energy throughout the day.

Beware, some caffeinated or sugar loaded drinks can seem to give you a quick burst of energy, but then leave you feeling more tired than ever.

So, when you are really powered up with the right amount of nutrition, you’ll simply be powerful in mind (you’ll think more clearly) and your body tells you you can do a lot more. That’s of course when you also stay away from all that junk foods.

When you burn this much energy without feeling hungry, guess what? You’ll lose weight naturally and healthily.

A Healthy Weight Loss Solution

Sometimes, we don’t realize we are not at our healthy best. If doctors can measure how much illness you have, why don’t they know how to heal you? The often damaging panacea of drugs are used or expensive consultations.

I prefer to empower you. I want to offer you the best way for you to have a healthy nutritious diet which rewards you at the same time.
This solution is called Body by Vi, featured on the latest cover story of Success From Home Magazine, and mentioned in the Wall Street Journal.

I love it because it’s SIMPLE! It’s as easy as setting a 90 day goal and choosing which of the four ViSalus Body by Vi™ Challenge Kits fits with your goal…then let the products do the rest!

This thing is exploding! That is why they gave me this great website to help share the Challenge with others.

Because each kit centers around the Vi-Shape meal replacement shake, we won’t be adding any additional cost to our budgets. We’re simply taking the money we currently spend on eating out and grocery bills and putting it toward a simpler, faster, and much healthier option!

The more that I learn, the more that I am realizing that the Challenge is not as much about what we have to lose, but more about what we have to gain in the process.
