FREE WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAMSHEALTHILYOur free weight loss programs are about losing weight safely, and steadily, rather than the crash diets that research shows bring only temporary weight loss, the pounds often returning with a vengeance. They also increase circulating blood fats, contributing even further to atherosclerosis, that nasty disease of blood vessel walls. NOT SURPRISINGLY, THIS PAGE HAS ATTRACTED LITTLE INTEREST IN THE LAST MONTH. WITH GOOD REASON. OUR PHILOSOPHY IS EAT RIGHT DAY IN AND DAY OUT, AND THEN YOU CAN SPLURGE A LITTLE WHEN CELEBRATING. BUT NOW JANUARY AND IT'S NEW LEAF SEASON. FROM JANUARY 2 ... The only really good reason to lose weight is to be healthier. You will be more beautiful too, not unimportant, particularly as obesity often goes hand in hand with low self-esteem. That's just a benefit on the side. This free weight loss program is about doing it in a healthy manner. After all, it is makes absolutely no sense to lose weight in an unhealthy way, in order to be healthier. So forget the fad diets, the shakes and particularly the high protein diets. Oddly, also avoid the very low fat diets. Lower down this page you'll see why. Unhealthy way to become healthier! Two mythsA few principlesMost people who are overweight achieved it not by eating too much, but the wrong kinds of foods. Eating less will help obviously, but changing what you eat is a much simpler way. More important, a healthier way.Accept it! It's going to be hard. Anybody who convinces you there is an easy way to lose weight is conning you. Retraining your tastebuds is going to be tough. But the point here is that it will be much less painful than all that goes with obesity - high blood pressure, arthritic knees, painful feet, diabetes, heart disease and important for the chiropractor, backache ... you name it. Don't think that because this is 'free' that our Free Weight Loss Programs are not profound or tried. You will lose weight, permanently and safely. FROM THE COALFACESaid a patient who recently has lost a lot of weight. 20 kg to be exact, and needs to lose another 20. How did she do it? She read an article, and for the first time, something "clicked in my head".Two things I have noticed: 1. My feet...they don't hurt when I'm out working in the garden...they used to be the defining aspect of me working outside; and 2. I sweat a lot more! I used to just fill up with water. My face, and hands, ankles...my face would get flushed; now I really do sweat more. I don't like the heat or humidity, and still avoid it, but when I'm out in it, I really sweat. "My endocrinologist is thrilled also! My cholesterol is down to 120!!! I usually buy big bags of birdseed...each one is 10 kg. I've just put one on each shoulder ...it's hard for me to believe that I've been carrying all that extra baggage all these years. No wonder my feet ached! Now for the next 20 kg! She has taken 8 months to do it. That's a healthy rate of weight loss - aim at one kilogram per week. Update: Pure stupidity! I promised this patient that I would take her to Oberammagau if she lost 50 lbs before Christmas. I thought my money was quite safe ... It can be done! Body Mass IndexSo, how bad is the problem?

You can buy keto-stiks at the drugstore to see if you are going into ketosis. Don't go over 'moderate' unless you are under supervision. MORE FROM THE COALFACEI have been bullying a young rather obese young woman suffering with low back pain for about six months. Not only was her weight affecting her back, but perhaps even worse her self-esteem. At 31, already divorced with a child, her future was not particularly rosy ...I was astounded yesterday in the change in her demeanour. Having lost 13 kg she is really a very attractive young woman, now bright and full of enthusiasm. I thought to warn her. The young men are definitely going to be knocking on her door ...! Well done, Deniz, I'm very proud of you! How did she do it, I asked? Not by following my Free weight loss program but simply by cutting out Snacking between meals. It all helps. AlcoholA glass of red wine. One. Dry wines have very little carbohydrate. Beer unfortunately is a real no-no.Good luck. It can be done! PS. Even if you were to follow something like this three days a week, it would have a very beneficial effect. A few supplements will assist our Free Weight Loss Programs. If you are seriously overweight, then you may be on the verge of diabetes, so Chromium tablets are necessary. Then a B12 shot once a week helps metabolise better, and I would take a B complex tablet. WalkingWhilst walking won't knock kilograms off, the other benefits are so numerous that walking should be a part of every FREE WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM - unless you are serious overweight, in which case you should perhaps consider swimming or cycling.
