Weight Loss Programs

The Problem

Throughout the years technology has steadily risen and convenience has become the top priority to many individuals. We live in the age of "instant gratification". This has led many to turn to fast foods, which are saturated with unwanted fats and foods filled with unnatural preservatives, thus causing issues such as hypertension and the formation of unwanted free radicals.

Consequently, humanity has begun to get bigger, heavier, sedentary and richer in diseases such as diabetes and heart disease. In 1979 less than 11 percent of the population in Mexico was overweight or obese. Recent studies have revealed an astronomical rise showing that over 63 percent of the population is obese. This shows that this terrible epidemic has not only risen in the U.S. but all over the world.

 

6 out 10 Americans are overweight

 

1/3 of Americans are clinically obese

 

Unfortunately, excessive weight causes many physiological and psychological problems such as: coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure (hypertension), high cholesterol, erectile dysfunction, menstrual disorders, infertility, Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), fatty liver disease, breast cancer, osteoarthritis, obstructive sleep apnea, low self esteem, body dysmorphic disorder, social stigmatization, and many more.

The Solution

The solution to Weight Loss is actually quite simple. First, forget all those crazy diets and know this: CALORIES ARE JUST UNITS OF ENERGY. Some foods are higher in caloric density than others and that is why it is better to eat fruits and vegetables, rather than a burger and fries. In the case of Weight Loss, it all comes down to CALORIES IN VERSUS CALORIES OUT. If you consume more calories than you burn in a 24-hour period, then you will store the excess calories as fat. And if you burn more calories than you consume in a 24-hour period, then you will burn stored body fat. That is all it takes to obtain Weight Loss, but for optimal fat reduction, a healthier lifestyle, and added years of youth one must obtain the 7 ELEMENTS OF FITNESS, which are:
