Let Us Help You To Lose Weight
Introduction
Being overweight can lead to an increased risk of illness. The most common health problems associated with being overweight are high blood pressure, coronary heart diseases, strokes and type 2 diabetes. There are also a number of other diseases such as cancer, sleep apnea and respiratory problems that are linked to being overweight.
The 'solutions' are endless. Pick up any paper or magazine and there is likely to be an article on how to lose weight. Amazon UK has nearly 28,000 entries when you search for books on the word DIET.
Why are we all so preoccupied with reading about and searching for the ultimate diet? Because dieting isn't easy and because the same 'cure' doesn't work for everyone.Here's an example of why dieting isn't simple and why the same technique doesn't work for everyone. Many diets advise you to eat more than three times per day but to eat smaller quantities. This is because the act of eating temporarily speeds up your metabolism and therefore burns more calories. Also, for most people, if they eat before they get starving hungry, they can better control the quantity and selection of food. If you've gone all day without eating much, first come the crisps, then the drinks and finally the dinner, and before you know it, all caution is thrown to the wind. You might as well admit defeat and top off the meal with cheese and a large brandy!, but the point here is what works for most, doesn't necessarily work for everyone. For example, there are those (usually men) who control their weight successfully and have done so for years by never eating more than one meal per day.
