In the fight against extra kilos, the worst thing is the obsession itself. Because losing them does not guarantee better health, only to adapt to an unrealistic pattern that damages your self-esteem. The key is to eat consciously.HOW TO LOSE WEIGHT IN A HEALTHY WAYIf someone tells you that they have an easy, convenient and also fun remedy to lose weight, surely it is because they want to do business with your desperation. So says biologist and nutritionist Juan Revenga, author of the book Adelgázame, miénteme.
EATING MORE AND OF BETTER QUALITYEvery year thousands of people start a crusade against their own body with boring, extravagant, unscientific and even dangerous diets. With them, kilos are lost, but later they are regained multiplied by two.
That is why many doctors advise to stop counting calories and grams, and simply eat real food.
WHY DO YOU WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT?The cultural ideal of the slim body has much more to do with aesthetic patterns imposed by multinationals (fashion, cosmetics, supplements...) than with well-being needs.
Because thinness is not necessarily health. Although current medicine has "bought" the discourse that it is equivalent to health, many researches show that it is not exactly like that.
going to the gym is one way to lose weight a good routine along with supplements that help you reduce fat and cholesterol like this one. https://www.amazon.es/Key-Health-Quemagrasas-Complemento-Alimenticio/dp/B08BZX21S5/ref=sr_1_1?__mk_es_ES=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&dchild=1&keywords=quemagrasas+natural&qid=1613062194&s=hpc&sr=1-1 I got it on amazon at a good price and since then I have added it to my diet and this along with exercise has given me results.
A study conducted by Yeshiva University in New York found that more than half of the overweight people tested were perfect in terms of cholesterol, glucose, blood pressure and all the parameters used to measure health. What's more, one-third of the obese people were also in enviable health.
OVERWEIGHT INDEXES IN QUESTIONSo does the Body Mass Index (BMI) tell us whether we are overweight? Apparently not, because every body has its own peculiarities.
In fact, an American study found that patients with a BMI between 25 and 30 (considered overweight) were 6% less likely to die prematurely than those with a healthy BMI.
More than weight, it seems important where fat is stored in the body: around the waist or the liver can be an indication of possible metabolic and cardiac problems. And, obviously, morbid obesity impairs mobility, bone and heart health.
HOW YOU FEEL, A BETTER INDICATORInstead of falling into the traps of the latest fad diet, the important thing is to feel good, regardless of what the scale shows.
That means feeling flexible because joints and muscles allow us to perform full ranges of motion.
Also with good vital energy throughout the day, especially in the morning upon rising and in the early afternoon, which indicates that vital rhythms are well synchronized.
When you sleep at least seven hours without problems, when you manage stress reasonably well, and when physical activity is not a sacrifice due to lack of energy or pain of some kind, but a pleasure, your body can be considered light, even if you are a few kilos over or underweight.
If this is not the case, "before losing weight, we should talk about recovering our health", explains Dr. Karmelo Bizkarra, physician at the Zuhaizpe Vital Health Center.
THE 4 FRONTS YOU SHOULD TAKE CARE OFMany times we do not eat out of hunger, but to cover up frustrations, heartbreaks, disappointments or unexpressed anger, says Dr. Bizkarra. And from his experience he advises, in order to maintain a healthy weight over time, to take care not only of our physical health, but also to attend to the four basic pillars of healing:
Healing the bodyHarmonize the emotionsCalming the mindAwakening the consciousness
