Why Are We Overweight?
There are many factors that contribute to being overweight, including genetics, the environment and behavior.*¹

Genes: Some individuals have a genetic tendency to gain weight and store fat – although not everyone with this tendency will become obese, some persons without genetic predisposition can become overweight.*¹

Environment: An environment that promotes healthy weight is one that encourages consumption of nutritious foods in reasonable portions and regular physical activity – healthy environments can be created at home, school, work and beyond.*¹ Identifying and consciously avoiding high-risk situations (such as fast food restaurants and keeping high fat foods nearby) can assist in weight control efforts.*¹

Behavior: Adopting healthy habits for lifelong weight control purposes includes regular physical activity and nutritious eating with specific behavioral strategies including: logging and tracking diet and exercise patterns in a diary, eating a low calorie diet, limiting the amount of calories from fat, and setting realistic goals.*¹


Balanced Weight Loss

Maintaining a healthy energy balance is especially important when considering a weight loss program and understanding how we generate and expend energy can help in devising a strategic plan to lose weight successfully, preventing further stress on the body’s energy balance and strengthening the body processes.*

Calories are a generally accepted unit of measure for energy expenditure. Thus, the number of calories a certain food contains, determines how many units of potential energy become available for use by the body. Therefore, the number of calories consumed and the number of calories burned influences energy balance – calories that don’t get burned up as energy, get stored for future energy, as fat.* It's a simple equation – if you take in more calories than you burn, you become susceptible to weight gain.*

Additionally, while fat is stored easily and quickly, it should be broken down slowly because fat cells store toxins and these toxins are released with the breakdown of fat, so during weight loss, the body experiences a higher toxic load than normal and fat cells and muscle cells can break down together, contributing to toxic reactions and fatigue – which is why losing weight too quickly can make a person feel sick and why it's especially important during weight loss to drink 10-12 glasses of water per day, as it helps flush these toxins from the body.*


Why & How We Eat

One of the most important considerations when it comes to weight control is why we eat and how we eat. Our bodies need food in order to obtain the necessary fuel to burn calories – where fuel is defined as glucose (sugar), amino acids (protein), and fatty acids (fats). The foods we eat need to provide a balanced amount of complex carbohydrates (sugar), protein, and healthy fats, as well as a balance between red meat, fruits and vegetables, whole grains, beans, nuts and fish that is rich in heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids.

Additionally, some foods can actually stimulate the appetite center of the brain, actually encouraging food cravings through the signaling of various hormones like the adrenal glucocorticoids (the managers of stress), carbohydrate and protein metabolism (insulin, secreted by the pancreas), and neurotransmitters (such as serotonin, which regulates mood, sleep and sensory perception). Conversely, some foods can contribute to the inhibition of these hormones, helping to control appetite and even mood. Thus, when we respond to – or control – food cravings, we may actually be reacting to biochemical interactions.*


Increase Your Metabolism with Physical Exercise

Probably the most valuable contribution you can make to your goal of healthy weight loss is physical exercise. Physical exercise increases your basal metabolic rate (which turns up your body’s internal thermostat) and therefore efficiently and effectively burns more calories and fat. The best way to start a responsible exercise program is slowly and consistently. And remember, the more oxygen coming in, the greater the efficiency of burning fat calories. A beginning target goal of uninterrupted exercise is ½ hour per day, 2-3 times per week. This is a vital part of your total weight loss program.

As to the recurring question of "What’s the ‘best’ form of exercise to lose weight?", the answer is simple – the one you’ll DO!
