Studies have shown that overweight invariably leads to health issues such as hypertension, cardiac troubles, sleep apnea and diabetes. Further, being obese could hamper one's freedom to move, run, or sit comfortably in a standard chair.<br /><br />The only way out of this mess is to shed those extra pounds around your waist by embracing some healthy <a href="http://iifitnessii.blogspot.com/2009/10/lose-weight-with-six-meals-day-diet.html">weight loss diet plan</a> and follow it religiously. Every healthy weight loss diet plan proposed by dieticians and nutritionists starts with a simple suggestion - reduce the food intake to the optimum amount. But it is the most difficult of the things to implement and it will take a lot of mental effort from your side to tune your mind to say NO to <a href="http://iifitnessii.blogspot.com/2009/11/fast-food-weight-loss-your-guide-to.html">temptations</a>.<br /><br />Use caution when reducing the amount of food intake. A drastic change in diet can result in some serious adverse affects. It is best to utilize a <a href="http://iifitnessii.blogspot.com/2009/10/lose-weight-with-six-meals-day-diet.html">diet plan</a> that doesn't leave you hungry and/or fasting for a long period of time.<br /><br />Most importantly, backup your efforts with a strict fitness regime to burn away those extra calories from the body. Make it a practice to spend 30 min in the gym daily. A short stroll in the garden or in the street in the evening is also is advisable.<br /><br />For more information on healthy living, be sure to check out other iiFitnessii blog articles.<br /><br />Here is to a healthy lifestyle!<br /><br />Rob FarmeriiFitnessiihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13949633627207292072noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7217963106140687703.post-88095614702186604662010-05-07T14:26:00.000-07:002010-05-07T14:30:49.900-07:00It's Been a Long Time...Well, it has been several months since I posted anything new on this iiFitnessii blog...

Don't get me wrong, it isn't nearly as bad as smoking cigarettes or other toxic drugs. </span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Regardless, there are some pretty eye opening facts about soft drinks that need to be put out in the open. For example, <b>many studies have shown that obesity in America is caused from consuming approximately 100 calories over the recommended amount</b>. Eliminating one can a day from a typical diet lowers your caloric intake by approximately <b>160 calories</b> (typical amount of calories per can).</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Besides the extra calories, soft drinks contain a large amount of unhealthy sugars and can lead to diabetes or other unhealthy/fatal diseases. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Although it sounds easy, I know that many people are addicted (I was in this category once). If you are addicted to the "bubbly" feeling of the carbonated drinks, there are many non-sugary, carbonated drinks on that market that can be used as a substitute. If caffeine is the issue, Green Tea is an excellent substitute that actually slightly increase your <a href="http://iifitnessii.blogspot.com/2009/11/need-metabolism-increase-speed-your.html">metabolism</a>, thus increases calorie burning!</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">This simple elimination will yield visible weight loss within weeks. A total of 15 lbs. (approximate) is lost by just not consuming soft drinks.

B Vitamins deficiency can not only cause a decrease in metabolism, but also cause fatigue and even depression. </span></div><div><ul><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Foods that contain high levels of B Vitamins include spinach, asparagus, beans (black, soy, navy), melon, fish, broccoli, eggs, and poultry.</span></li></ul><div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Magnesium</span></b></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Magnesium is a mineral needed by every cell inside the human body.

Exercise will of course lead to an increase of metabolism. However, exercise is disregarded by some because of their level of energy.
