Don't Starve Yourself - Loose Weight Sensibly

One can lose weight by hook or by crook there are hundreds of articles, products, gadgets that propose various methods and techniques by which any person can lose weight. Before going to adopt any of the methods of reducing weight one must analyze the cause of obesity. Such as age, sex, heredity, place, geographical region, type of food eaten, quantity of food eaten, ambient temperature, energy utilized or remaining surplus and countless other factors or combination thereof which can be sited as basis of obesity.

The universal truth remains that "intake is not equal to output or vice versa" in simple words the amount that is consumed is not equivalent to the energy expended or adequate energy has not be used in proportion to the amount that has been eaten. A very suitable example is of a person who is obese but eats very less the answer is very simple though the persons calorie intake is less but his expenditure of energy is even less thus anything remaining above the daily requirement is converted into fat. Mind you fat is not bad only excessive fat is. Next is the geographical area one lives in and type of food intake in these regions to maintain body temperature and the rate at which energy that is released by the food intake, we will not go into calculations as there are people to take care of that. In plain language in cold regions requirement of energy is fast and more whereas in warmer climates it is slow and less the reason why consumption of alcohol and sherbets is prevalent in respective areas further a protein dominant diet in colder regions and more carbohydrate dependent diet are rule of the nature. Thirdly is the amount one can eat and the clothing worn, the food intake of our body is regulated by outer environment in terms ambient temperature, activity of person and type of clothing worn accordingly in colder climes protein, woolens where as carbohydrates and cottons are prevalent in warmer areas.

Fourthly is the physical state and the condition of our body meaning the type of life sedentary or active style of life for example when trying to regulate people undertake a vigorous regime of exercise as well this starts a vicious cycle as extra activity demands more energy resulting in those pangs of hunger. Then we come to the final state of our stomach called appetite which is used to the feeling of certain amount of food inside resulting in sense of fullness and satisfaction absence of which results in craving or hunger is a measure of fiber both soluble or otherwise the reason for turning obese now and then. Recounting from above firstly energy in & out, secondly climatic region, thirdly environment around, fourthly physical activity and fifthly appetite are main factors amounting to the bio mass of one's body. Thus finally we come to the question of as to how do we set about controlling our bio mass and yet lead a healthy & enjoyable life. The plan is lay a common denominator by choosing between Active or Moderate type of life style

Alternative One Active Style wherein you exercise, physical games and are outdoor type, keep the activity and fiber intake or any other supplement as denominator and eat drink freak out on clothes, to be more precise enjoy life but regulate yourself with adequate amount of exercise and intake of fiber. Alternative Two the Moderate Style herein one takes food and drinks judiciously and is taken as common denominator and balances with amount of exercise and food supplements. In other words lead a moderate and regulated life. Finally you if care two hoot about everything bash on regardless but please take some add on supplements as a piece of advice. Farewell and long live
