Diets, Weight Loss and Health

I feel that while losing weight is important, to do so correctly, safely and effectively is the key to bring about long term weight management and prolonging success.

Understanding the function of our liver in weightloss is pertinent in weight loss ie. why is liver so crucial in helping us in our weight loss?

Understand ye body, babe!

We must understand that when fat is stored in our body, it can produce poisons and toxins inside our system and the liver must then work extra hard just to get rid of all these poisons and toxins which are then discharged from our bodies through our urines and wastes. (This is why many weight loss programs often comes with this initial phase of "detoxification")

On top of that, our liver is also responsible for bile production, excretion of cholesterol, hormones, and drugs , metabolic process of fat, proteins, and carbs which are all paramount in weight reduction. The liver is also responsible for synthesis of plasma proteins, enzyme activation, storage of glycogen, vitamins, and vitamins and minerals, bloodstream detoxification and purification etc.

As such, we must be careful not to overwork our livers because eating foods not beneficial for our livers can possibly result in overworked livers. While certain meals function to aid your liver organ, some does not. Wholesome foods with as little or without seasonings and fruits, for instance, are one of the foods that are beneficial to our liver functions. Foods that are specially not good for the liver include deep-fried and oily foods and also processed foods and foods that are sugary and salty and contains unhealthful synthetic seasonings as MSG etc.

Eat The Correct Food!

 Inorder to lose weight effectively and keep the weight off for good, we must first be able to understand this simple principle.

We must always be discerning as to what kinds of food to eat in order to feed our livers correctly with what it requires so that in return it will be able to work for us by helping us burn fat. We must also know what are the foods which actually encourage fat buildup in the body and as far as possible, avoid them.

We should not always follow tips or even so-call "philosophies" so often preached by many so-call weight loss gurus and experts in the commercialized market of weight loss supplements, gym memberships, over-marketed weight loss and beauty institutions --basically those whereby you must pay hefty lot of money inorder just to see results because effective weight loss and secrets to better health really begins in our every day, basically our eating habits, proper nutrition and exercise all of which really should not cost more than what we really think or the price tag which those huge money-churning establishments are trying to churn out from us.  

Go for wholesome foods!

Also note that supplements as meal replacement supplements are merely real foods that have become grinded into powder form and added with artificial nutrients and minerals. For the mere purpose of convenience, it is absolutely fine but for long term consumption, it is really no advisable at all. Nothing can totally substitute fresh wholesome foods as meats, chicken, eggs, vegetables etc which are still the best when weight loss and health benefits are concerned.

Hence, in order not to overload our liver so that it is able to do what it is programmed to do (ie weight loss) we must eat correctly. In doing so, we will be able to lose weight. As a matter of fact, when we eat properly and correctly, our bodies will be able to melt away plenty of fat. So, hence it is very much liken to the saying "help your liver to help yourself" because when you help your liver by providing it with the correct food that are beneficial for it, it will in return assist you in burning off the fat that you need to burn off quickly.

Another problem that can arise from improper dieting is when you eat less in contrast to what the body requires in the hope of losing weight, the body creates insulin spikes which will then hold on to the fat inside our body preventing the fat from metabolizing or discharged off as energy. This will also cause the food we eat to become stored as even more fat deposits inside our body. Instead of resulting in weight reduction and seeing our fats melting away, the moment we deprive our body of food, we actually end up putting on even more weight.

Easy Come Easy Go, Honey!

This way, we really do not even need to put our body through any kind of strenuous cardiovascular activity or spine breaking intensive weight training just to get into shape. With correct proper eating habits and a thoughtful and mindful diet and with minimal exercise of half an hour every day, not only will we become trim naturally, we will also feel mentally more alert, our bodies also become more energized and we no longer need to starve ourselves. In fact, a good healthful nutrition program is what we must strive to achieve for ourselves if we ever want to achieve stable long term results in the long haul. Forget about quick over night successes because liken to a person who strikes a million dollar lottery who will most possibly lose all his instant overnight wealth just as quickly as he gained it, like the saying "easy come easy go", hence similarly, instant weight loss that is not coupled with a proper nutrition program and exercise will also be fleeting even if initially we may achieve some astonishing results but the moment we start to revert back to your old unhealthful lifestyle and attitude towards food again, our results will not last for very long because soon it will be as good as going back to square one again. 

Don't Stress!!!

Hence, educating our minds is the key to success. Infact losing weight is something which our body is already programmed to do for us by itself but however, in today's world, stress and improper ways of handling stress often lead to many problems and in many instances, we unwittingly abuse our own bodies with comfort foods just to soothe our overwrought nerves only to result in unexpected weight gain over time or even worse-- eating disorder and obesity-related problems --all of which are the most common and yet also most dangerous things to our health because they ultimately cause our body and health to break down. When under stress, our minds often times tend to go into an erratic state of "taking over" and in doing so, instead of listening to what truly our body says, the mind start making all the wrong decisions for it instead eg. going for instant immediate gratification only to mark the beginning of our nightmares ahead.
