How To Lose Weight and Maintain Your Ideal Weight Permanently

Being overweight is not just an individual country concern, but an international concern as well. The global statistics for people being overweight or obese are alarming.

So what can you do if you are overweight? Well, I outline various strategies in this book to help you lose those excess pounds. Is it easy to lose weight? The answer is yes, and no. It all depends on your commitment to really want to lose that excess weight. And it is important to remember, that as you age, it becomes more difficult to lose excess weight. This is due in part—especially for women to a change in hormones as well as a slowing down of your metabolism. A slowing down of metabolism affects men too.

In this book I have included various tables to help you chart your weight loss course. The tables include a Glycemic Index for those who follow this principle, as well as a Basal Metabolic Rate table. In the back of the book you will find a calorie counter for various food groups as well as some suggested menus to help you plan your meal program.

Also included are chapters on which foods to avoid, the importance of the methods used in food preparation and cooking, how excess fat impacts on the body, and a chapter on the importance of getting adequate exercise.

By following the ideas outlined in this book, you will be able to lose that excess weight and be more active and healthier as a result.
