Holistic weight reduction - Part1

Being or facing the risk of becoming heavier than ideal weight is a burden that most Americans have to encounter today. It has been approached by many as a curse bestowed on them by unseen forces, but the truth is that lack of understanding about the nature of the problem is the major reason for failure in the almost universal desire to be as close to the ideal weight as possible.

Holistic weight reduction - Part2- Self-esteem, motivation, and weight change

Why should any one attempt weight reduction, if and when there is no obvious impact on physical health? An inadequate answer to this question is often the underlying reason why most individuals fail to take corrective action before it is too late. My answer to that question is that in the absence of physical illness causing weight gain, gradually increasing adipose tissue content of the body may be an unrecognized indicator of loss of motivation, a sign of gradually deteriorating self-esteem and/or perhaps a sign of latent depression even in the absence of overt health problems induced by obesity.

Holistic weight reduction - Part3 - Psychological preparation for weight reduction

The commonest reason for failure in a weight reduction program is the fact that the candidate does not undergo an appropriate psychological preparation. Those who expect miraculous weight losses as promised by most advertisements on television commercials are bound to be disappointed because participation in most weight reduction programs have resulted in wallets getting slimmer faster than bodies! There is no way in which the adipose tissue mass of an adult person whose average pre-program daily expenditure of Calories is not above 2400, can be safely lowered by more than 2 pounds (loss of 8200 Calories from fat stores) in a week.

Holistic weight reduction - Part5 - Energy Sources and Energy Requirements

ENERGY SOURCES What are the sources of energy that are available to human beings? Essentially they are three. The first is carbohydrate derived basically from grains and sugars.

Holistic weight reduction - Part6 - The Biochemistry of Metabolism -Carbohydrates

SOME KNOWLEDGE about the biochemistry of the metabolism of the three major energy sources is also appropriate for anyone undertaking weight reduction. This is because of the interrelationships between these energy sources and the way they are handled by the body after they have been ingested as part of a meal.
