Basic Weight Management
Basic Weight Management
by: Richard Rigor
The perfect diet should be combined with a healthy weight management or activity program. Weight management may conjure up that dreaded “exercise” word. And exercise to some means pushing the body beyond limits, experiencing painful in joints, muscles, bones - everywhere. No pain no gain, right? Wrong. Instead, replace the word “exercise” with “activity” and incorporate this in your daily routine. And a general rule of thumb for guidelines about “activity” would be to strive for a minimum of 30 minutes for adults or 60 minutes for children of moderate physical activity daily.
Individual activity goals depend upon each person’s health and weight goals and issues. Begin by checking with your medical advisor or healthcare physician to get a green light on which activities would be suitable for you, what your target weight range should be and a strategic plan to improve your health.
In a nutshell, during activities,…

Weight Gaining
Weight Gaining
by: Armen Hareyan
I learned about gaining weight when I heard the question of a skinny girl asking, “how does someone gain weight.” First I came to surprise because gaining weight is not something that people want to have around you. On the other hand we hear that everyone is asking each other for tips on how to lose weight.
Weight Gaining
This article does not intend to provide the reader with good and healthy ways of gaining weight. The intention is informative and is raise an awareness about the fact of how many people are interested to gain weight.

Losing Weight During the Holiday Season
by: Robyne Arrow
By now, I am assuming your schedule is pretty hectic in preparation for the Holiday Festivities.
So its only inevitable that I ask of you to take a few moments to ponder on how you will handle the vast amounts of food involved with this holiday season. And to remind you not to forget about your personal health, goals and the purpose behind them.
As a gift I would like to share with you a few tried and true concepts on how to maintain or lose weight during this holiday season.
Thirteen years ago I became quite intrigued with the idea of LOSING WEIGHT DURING THE HOLIDAY SEASON. Even knowing the chances of finding success with this idea was highly slim I was nevertheless still intrigued.
Please note, When I refer to, ‘LOSING WEIGHT DURING THE HOLIDAY SEASON’ I am NOT referring to:

I Can’t Weight (One Man’s Diet)

Like many people, I’ve decided I need to take off a little weight from the holidaysâ€â€the holidays of six years ago. But I’ve never dieted before, so being a conscientious kinda guy, I logged into my favorite web browser for some advice.
I found 3,978,158,342 sites offering help with losing a few pounds. (In fact, I was so overwhelmed, I had to grab a sandwich before even tackling the search.) As a public service, I’ll try to encapsulate what I learned, although I may have gotten a little confused by some of the terminology.
Most of the sites spent considerable time talking about calories, so maybe we should start there. As far as I could make out, a calorie is defined as the amount of heat it takes to raise a gram of water from 58 degrees…
Scales Are For Fish, Not Weight Loss
Scales Are For Fish, Not Weight Loss
by: Dr Jeff Banas
Contrary to common belief, your weight is not really the indicator of a weight problem – the actual percentage of body fat is the true indicator. You need to know what percent of you is actually FAT. How are you going to monitor your weight loss if you do not know what percent of your body is fat, before you begin your program?
Let me give you an example on measuring body fat, this is important in understanding weight loss, or should I say FAT LOSS. This is actually what we are trying to lose, right? FAT!
Lets say someone weighs 200 pounds and when we measure their body fat we find out there body fat is 40%
This means that 40% of the members body is made of fat (80 lbs). The other 120 lbs is muscle, bones, organs, water, etc. (everything but fat).

Overweight - Answering Your Critics
Overweight - Answering Your Critics
by: Trevor Johnson
There are those that walk amongst us who have followed all the advice, diligently dieted and exercised with genuine effort for long periods of time, yet still fail to lose their excess weight.
Even more heartbreaking for those of us who genuinely struggle with obesity are the accusations of sloth and laziness from those thin people who eat junk all day long and show no physical sign of their own gluttony. *Why can*t you just be like everyone else?*, they demand. *It must be all your own fault.*
*After all,* they say in derisory voice, *Losing weight is easy. Just eat less and exercise more. If you don*t lose weight, you are just weak willed.*
Every person who has never had a real problem thinks they know all the easy answers. All those underlying unwarranted generalisations we face from others just about every day of our lives is a…

Losing Weight is Like Eating Ice Cream
Losing Weight is Like Eating Ice Cream
by: Will Clower, Ph.D.
“Life is like a box of chocolates,†drawled Forrest Gump.
Metaphors are great. Writers use them all the time because, simply put, they get your attention and really drive a point home.
That’s because life and a box of chocolates have as much in common as French Toast for breakfast and a French Toast to your health.
But you know a punch line is coming to connect the dots and relate two ridiculously unrelated things. So you wait, listening sharply to catch the thread that makes it make sense.
“You never know what you are going to get.†Aaahhh, riiigghhtt!
The mismatch, mental twisting, and surprise resolution slam the point home. There. That’s the micro-anatomy of our most common literary tool. So how about a metaphor for eating healthy?
Losing weight is like eating a single scoop death-by-chocolate ice cream cone. Okay, that nailed the “man, this strains reason 
Tired Of Struggling To Lose Weight?
Tired Of Struggling To Lose Weight?
by: Debbie de Leng
There are many factors that cause us to increase body weight, yet three stand out from the rest.
Our genetic make: Every cell in our body has a central control panel, that is a nucleus that contains our genes and chromosomes. This is the instruction manual for your body and this is inherited from your parents. It is this instruction manual that is largely responsible for how your body, and even your mind, behaves.
The environment in which we live: Our personal environment may also contribute or cue you to adopt poor eating or exercise habits. This is especially true in today’s society, which is dominated by speed and convenience. For example, escalators, elevators and remote-control appliances make us less physically active. Also, greater availability and the constant marketing of foods that are high in calories, fat and added sugars, and larger portion sizes promote…
