How to Lose Weight and Keep It Off!

The Problem

Americans are now very aware of the hazards of excess calorie intake, and the perils of excess body fat, particularly around the waist and abdomen. Despite that awareness, Americans are lager than ever before, and diet related diseases are the main causes of disease mortality in the US!

Atherosclerosis, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes and certain cancers affecting the breast, prostate and colon, are all too common in America. Those diseases and disorders of health are significantly influenced by what and when we eat.

Obesity is also considered a disease by public health authorities, and it is intimately associated with our dietary habits. According to the Centers for Disease Control, two thirds of Americans are either obese or overweight; and unfortunately, just carrying excess body fat around your waist and abdomen can provide for physical conditions that increases risk of atherosclerosis, high blood pressure and certain cancers.

Many Americans respond to the problem of overweight and diet related diseases by fretting over fat intake; and wind up trying to avoid all fats and carbohydrates as much as possible. A lot of folks further attempt to periodically lose weight with extreme dietary manipulations, which can't be sustained for very long, and usually lead to the return of excess body fat - with a vengeance!

So despite our heightened awareness and dieting efforts, there's clearly still a problem: American's dietary habits and food selections remain solidly based on "fast" foods. By their very nature, commercially prepared convenience foods, even the "low fat" varieties, provide us with large amounts of calories and sodium, while barely contributing to our bodies micronutrient needs. High calorie intake, combined with little or no physical activity, and a marginal micronutrient status, contributes significantly to the development of the aforementioned diet related diseases....

Permanent Weight Loss

Permanent weight loss is achieved by permanently NOT allowing commercially prepared convenience foods to form the basis of your diet. Permanent weight loss and disease prevention is achieved by ensuring a signifcant intake of micronutrient vitamins, minerals and plant phytochemicals, both during the weight loss process and beyond.

Through my Great Health Site, at www.unicitynetwork.com/great-health, which you can access through the link below, you'll have access to information on how to change your dietary habits. while maintaining satiation and safisfaction with eating. Extreme dietary manipulations are not necessary or appropriate to the taks.

Great Health also has highly specialized products that can stimulate your body's ability to remove excess fat, while supporting that process with essential micronutrient vitamins, minerals and plant chemicals, also known as "phytonutrients".

Best of all, Great Health stays involved with your health; providing you with free personalized coaching, as well as free counseling on how to effectively use the products to achieve your health and weight loss goals.

At the Great Health Site, by clicking on the "uDiets" section, you can calculate your body mass index, or BMI, which evaluates your risk of diet related disease, by using a formula that compares your weight to your height. A BMI of 25 or greater suggests an increased risk of disease. Note that the BMI is not applicable to children, the elderly, or to lean, heavily muscled individuals.

The Products

All products are based on proprietary formulas, many of which are patented or patent pending. Some products have had their effectiveness demonstrated in clinical trials; while others are actually used by progressive health care providers, to help patients prevent, manage or overcome various diet related diseases. One of my colleagues is a board certified bariatric (weight loss) physician, who uses the products in his practice.

In fact, one product, Bios Life 2, is described on page 3322 of the 2002 Physician's Desk Reference. You can find a PDR in your local library. The book serves as a quick source of medical, health and drug related information for physicians and other health care providers, across the nation and all over the world.

You don't have to be a health care provider however, in order to use the products. They come with simple instructions for their application.

There are products that safely stimulate immediate, short term fat burning, as well as products that support a more gradual weight reduction process. You can also get products with such rich tastes, you won't believe they're helping you to lose weight! All products provide significant amounts of the micronutrients necessary to catalyze fat oxidation, with enough left over to support the rest of your body's needs!

No product comes with wild guarantees however. They can stimulate and support the weight loss process; and help protect against diet related diseases. But permanent weight loss and disease prevention is achieved through health friendly habits; not sudden, drastic drops in weight, which often precipitates more problems than you had before! Permanent weight loss is obtained through a steady, gradual process, which the Great Health Site can help you to understand and implement.
