Obesity Treatment
With some careful thought and planning, and help from natural products, that excess weight can be shed. But unfortunately weight cannot be lost like a having a haircut; weight loss requires dedication, motivation, and the adoption of new strategies to create a healthier lifestyle.
How do I Know if I am Overweight?
To assess if you are overweight it is best to measure your BMI or body mass index. You can do this right now using a simple BMI calculator. Though very muscular people could find their BMI in the unhealthy range due to muscle mass, for the general population it is a good indication. The BMI is calculated by dividing a person's weight in kilograms by height in meters squared. The measurement applies to men and women equally.
 BMI calculator
If your BMI is 19 to 24.9 you have a healthy weight.
If your BMI is 25 to 29.9 you are considered to be overweight and may incur moderate health risks.
If your BMI is 30+ you are considered to be obese. Obesity is linked to increased risk of cancer, heart disease and other health problems.
Causes of Obesity
Genetic, environmental, psychological, and other factors all play a part.
Genetic factors
Obesity tends to run in families, suggesting a genetic link. Yet families also share diet and lifestyle habits that may also contribute to obesity.
Environmental factors
Environment also strongly influences obesity. This includes lifestyle behavior such as what a person eats and his or her level of physical activity. Although you cannot change your genetic makeup, you can change your eating habits and levels of activity.
Psychological factors
Psychological factors also influence eating habits. Many people eat in response to negative emotions such as boredom, sadness, or anger.
Other causes of obesity
Some illnesses can lead to obesity or a tendency to gain weight. These include hypothyroidism, Cushing's syndrome, depression, and certain neurological problems that can lead to overeating. Also, drugs such as steroids and some antidepressants may cause weight gain. A doctor can tell whether there are underlying medical conditions that are causing weight gain or making weight loss difficult.
How do I Get Results from my Weight Loss Program?
Focus on your goal. Write your goal weight in a note book and envisage the benefits you will see when you reach it, and allow room for a progress chart. Keep the chart up to date and reward yourself as goals are reached.
If you are following a dietary program like Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, or the South Beach Diet, remove any foods in your cupboard that you should avoid. Learn the food pyramid and stick to those daily recommendations.
Add activity to your day, if it has been a long time since you exercised be kind to yourself and start by moving more each day. Walk up stairs, get off the bus at an earlier stop, turn off the TV or computer and go for a walk around the block. Slowly work towards an enjoyable and consistent amount of activity in your day.
Write a list of things to do when you are stressed as so many of us turn to food when we need comfort. Work out what you need emotionally to stop you reaching for those high calorie comfort foods.
Drink water, at least 2 litres a day, as we often eat when we are dehydrated rather than drinking water which will take the edge off our hunger and replace lost fluids.
How can Alberon.com Help?
Deep Sea Squid Chitosan
Alberon.com Chitosan (Deep Sea Squid Extract) is a safe dietary supplement that can add up to 8% weight loss to your program acting as a natural Xenical. Once activated in the stomach, chitosan can bind up to 6 times its own weight to some fatty acids and carries them through the digestive system without being absorbed. This helps reduce the amount of fat calories digested by the body supporting healthy weight loss and, because it targets LDL (or bad cholesterol), it helps maintain healthy cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
Recommended dose: 4 capsules prior to two main meals each day.
Green Lipped Mussel and Spirulina
We also recommend taking Alberon.com Green Lipped Mussel and Spirulina with your Chitosan for added energy and vitamins and minerals.
