Managing
body fat and body weight is critical to good health,
quality of life and longevity.
We
all want to look good, feel good and have a positive self-image.
We also want to ensure our health. West Texas Weight Loss
Clinic's Healthy Weight Loss Program has successfully helped
patients lose more than one million pounds of unwanted body fat
and has helped them to develop a healthy life style that prevents
future weight gain.
The
key to achieving and maintaining weight loss is learning how the
body converts food to energy and feeds the muscles instead of storing
energy as fat.
Statistics
According the National Health Institute
(NIH): Even a 10% reduction in body fat can reduce the risk of contracting
major diseases by 50%.
According
to the Surgeon General: For the first time in history, obesity has
surpassed smoking as the #1 preventable cause of death in America.
Over 61% of Americans are overweight and 28% are clinically obese.
According
to the American Obesity Association: Over 100 diseases are directly
related to being overweight, including diabetes, heart disease,
cancer and many others.

Water
Hint: Did you know that water has 0 calories? That's right -- drinking
water in place of soda and juice is a simple way to cut more than
100 calories out of your daily diet (for some of us, it means cutting
more than 300 calories per day).
Plus,
water is one of the most important elements in our bodies. It makes
up about 70 percent of our muscles and about 75 percent of our brains.
To keep all these areas functioning properly, some nutritionists
suggest drinking at least 64 ounces of water, or eight 8-ounce glasses,
on a daily basis. But don't try to catch up all at once -- the best
way to stay properly hydrated is to consume these eight glasses
evenly throughout the day.
Glycemic
Index and Metabolic Profile
At West Texas Weight Loss Clinic, we determine your personal
Metabolic Profile so that we can recommend the kinds of foods that
you need to be healthy and to reach your optimal body weight. You
are then provided dietary solutions that are effectively tailored
to your highly individualized biochemical needs.
The Glycemic
Index is an established, physiologically based method used to classify
foods according to their blood glucose-raising potential. The glycemic
index measures how fast a food is likely to raise your blood sugar
and can be helpful for managing blood sugars. Weight gain and diabetes
is often caused by high levels of glucose and insulin resistance.
These in turn are often caused by eating foods that are high on
the glycemic index.
Exercise
Can't fit in a trip to the gym? Get up from your desk during your
lunch break and take a 30-minute walk. Walk in the morning or do
30 minutes of resistance exercise (like weight lifting or rubber
bands) if at all possible. Exercise is critical to weight loss,
weight maintenance and good health. It is also cumulative in that
15 minutes in the morning and 15 minutes in the afternoon equals
30 minutes of exercise.
Diabetes
The Keys to Type II Diabetes -- Glucose and Insulin
After we eat, any extra glucose, fatty acids, and amino acids in
the blood stream are picked up by our fat cells, and converted to
fat. That’s how we build our reserve fuel supply. Once we
are past childhood, our body doesn’t make many more fat cells.
The new fat molecules are crowded into existing fat cells, making
them larger.
Adrenal
Fatigue
Adrenal Fatigue is a health disorder that can affect anyone who
experiences or who has experienced persistent or severe emotional
or physical stress. It is also an important contributing factor
in health conditions ranging from allergies to obesity. It affects
an estimated 80% of people living in industrialized countries at
one time or another in their lives, yet it has been ignored and
largely untreated by the mainstream medical community. |
