If someone is obese, that means the person is seriously overweight as a result of having too much body fat. If you eat more calories than you burn it during normal daily activity, the extra or unburned calories are stored as fat. A combination of over eating and lack of exercise normally can cause overweight and obesity.

THE SAFE AND HEALTHY WAY FOR WEIGHT LOSS

When you're trying to loose weight, one factor you must keep in your mind, for every 3500 calories you eat over than your body needs, your body will store one pound of body fat. Otherwise, for every 3500 calories burn off from your body that stored as fat, you will lose one pound of your body fat by reduce food intake or do more exercise. Without a little patience and knowledge about nutrition and exercise, your best weight loss plan may crumble.

The safe and healthy weight loss plan should have this basic elements:

If you find yourself in a constant weight loss struggle there are things you can do starting today to end this fight. Those who struggle with their weight think and act differently than those who successfully manage their weight and you can learn this new way of thinking and acting. This article will show you how to end your weight loss struggle.

Do you ever wonder how some people seem to manage their weight easily while others (possibly yourself) seem doomed to fight their weight for the rest of their lives? Is the difference in their IQ, better genes or just plain luck? Nope...The difference is in the way they think.

We are so caught up in how much food to eat, what type of foods to eat and when to eat that we forget to think. Now I am not saying that your eating habits aren't important but I am saying that if you feel like you are living under this constant cloud called DIET then you need to rise above it and get a fresh perspective.

Here are three of my client's favorite ways to stop struggling with dieting and start seeing steady results on the scale.

1. Eat mindfully. It is so easy in this hectic world we live in to eat too much without even being conscious we are doing so. This causes us to eat too many calories and sets us up for a constant battle. The remedy is to learn to eat mindfully. There are different ways to go about this but one I would like to share with you is to eat with all five of your senses.

Do an experiment, the next food item you eat, eat it with all 5 of your senses. So I want you to look at the food, then notice any aroma it has, when you bite into it notice if it makes any noise, note it's texture inside your mouth and lastly note the taste. This simple exercise makes you aware of what and how much you are eating.

2. Uncover your true motivation. So often we lose touch of why we originally wanted to lose weight, then when we are hit with stress we see no good reason to stick with our diet. By taking about 15 minutes you can create a list of reasons you want to lose weight, keep writing reasons down until the 15 minutes are up. By doing this you will likely uncover some very heart-felt reasons you want to change and these reasons will become your motivation.

3. Stop negative thoughts before they have time to grow. This is key. It is important for you to know that everyone has thoughts of quitting when they are on a diet, it is what you do with these thoughts that determines your outcome. When you hear those inevitable thoughts telling you to quit, say CANCEL and switch your thought to a positive. If you don't do this you will continue to let the thought grow inside of you until its temptation is too great and you give in to it.

Losing weight is a challenge but you can rise above the weight loss struggle when you learn to eat mindfully, find your true motivation and control your negative thoughts.

If you have ever tried to diet or loose weight before, you are well aware of the fact that weight loss foods are seemingly hard to come by and even when you do find something that is of some nutritional value, or weight loss importance it tastes horrible! Luckily for those who have a hard time staying away from sweets or whatever else seems to be calling your name at every hour of the day, their is hope for weight loss yet!

The science behind weight loss is very simple. You must burn off more calories than you take in. This makes sense and should be the basis of any weight loss philosophy. Those who realize this mantra will also realize that you do not have to starve yourself, nor do you have to eat a salad a meal every day. The solution however is simple, although at first it may be hard to cope with.

You should start out by eating the same that you have always eaten, the only difference is to eat half of each portion. So for instance, if you generally drink two cups of coffee in the morning, drink one. If you generally eat two pieces of bread with dinner, eat one. You see the trend here? Now you need not be a math teacher to understand the fact that if you eat half as much you will loose some weight, it is pretty cut and dry. Once you have been working with that process for some time, you should also consider performing some form of cardio several days per week, this will enhance the benefits of loosing weight.

If you feel that you are beginning to plateau your gains by eating half as much as everything, you should then look at your daily intake. Try to cut down on the number of carbohydrates and fats that you are consuming, and start to consume more and more protein into your every day diet. Solid forms of protein include chicken, fish, and nuts. Also you should be consuming a good amount of water as well as a good amount of fruits and vegetables.

Weight loss foods specifically such weight loss food as things like vegetables and fruit may not be the greatest tasting, although they serve the purpose. You may not realize it while you are eating it, but once the weight is gone you will never look back.
