More than 66% of Americans are overweight, fat to obese. And, by now we all know that these issues lead to even more dramatic issues like diabetes, high blood pressure and the list goes on. In an effort to begin reversing these horrible statistics the USDA is out with a new plan calling for more fruits and veggies on everyone’s plate. learn more

You Know We are in Trouble when the Government Gets Involved!

Most Americans have a ton of excuses that include:

1. I lose weight but I always gain it back. The notorious Yo-Yo diet.
2. As I get older it becomes increasingly more difficult to lose weight. You know, hormones are changing.
3. I blame my family because they are all over weight. It’s all their fault I’m over weight. It’s my lot in life to be fat.
4. I blame my doctors because the prescription medication I am on causes weight gain.
5. I blame myself because I love to eat and I hate exercise.

Losing weight is not a science, or deprivation, or surgery, it’s a simple healthy lifestyle plan. Want to lose weight?  Check out our Top Ten Weight Loss Tips and Tricks and start losing weight today. And consider Cinch.

Top Ten Weight Loss Tips and Tricks

1. Give Up the Fast Food and drop the Little Debbie Cakes and Sugary Sweets. Switch to healthy snacks like fresh.dried fruit, veggies, or try our healthy Cinch Snacks, Cinch Protein Shakes, Cinch Meal Bars and Protein Bars. They satisfy the sweet cravings while providing natural vitamins and minerals. Giving up Sweets is difficult. However, if you have a natural  sweet substitute life is not quite as painful. I never said giving up sweets and salts was going to be easy. Speaking of salt…

***

2. Back off the salt. Salt better known as sodium keeps you swollen and puffy. Also, too much of it may increase your blood pressure which may lead to heart problems. If you already have high blood pressure begin to eliminate it from your diet all together. Again, we have been salted down by food manufacturers especially in canned and prepared foods. Now they are charging higher prices for products low in sodium.  Also, be sure to READ your food labels and check of sodium.Most all canned, boxed or frozen is packed with an extra dose of salt. It all adds up or so quickly.

***

3. And while you’re learning to cut back,  start watching your carbs.  Count where you are and begin to reduce your intake. Don’t go cold turkey whatever you do. Try to get down to 150 total carbs daily. That’s a good round number to begin with. Forget those crazy no-carb diets. They will throw you off balance and you end up binge eating and gaining it all right back. You need carbs. Just begin reducing your intake until you get it under control. Try counting until you can master them. Also, try switching to whole grains breads and pasta.

***

4. Began eating more fresh fruits and fresh veggies. Forget the canned stuff. Best to go fresh and next best is frozen. Forget the buffet style restaurants as the foods there are all over cooked and loaded with sodium. Just one note: Do not over cook. If veggies are too soft you have removed all the nutrients. Try to leave a slight crunch. The USDA is now recommending that 50% or our daily 3 food plates be made of fruits and veggies. It must mean something. For fresh fruit and veggie ideas and recipes here is one of my favorite sites veggies. learn more

***

5. Exercise is the bottom line. If you do not exercise you simply lose muscle and in turn do not burn any fat. I hated to exercise. I think I still do. But, I’ve changed my tune. My tip of the day: start walking. Learn how to walk or how to enjoy it. Just do something to move your body. Even if its just for 10 min 2 times a week. Start moving. Add a little more each time. Walk around the Mall, a nearby park or school track, Try  a Dance DVD, Grab some small weights. Most of all have fun and realize exercise is for life.Not just to lose weight.

***

6. Drink More Water– I think I have heard every excuse for not drinking water. “I don’t like the way it tastes” or “I don’ like it” or “I’d rather drink Coke”  Water is more important than your’ll ever know. If you deprive your body of water your body will suffer the consequences. Like dry brittle hair and skin, constant headaches, always tired and  learn more There is nothing as sweet as a tall glass of fresh pure water. And the minimum is 8-10 glasses a day. If drinking 8-10 glasses of water daily is just impossible here are some cool and easy ways to help you stay hydrated. learn more.

***

7. Get Support – Sometimes it’s difficult to get the continued support you need. Especially after hundreds of failures. However, family or other support is important. If you just do not have it, form a walk group and a work out group. We all need support and yes, even a cheer leader when we get started and when when hit our lows. And remember to treat your support team well. They may give up on you. However, let them know that you really need their support, no matter what.

***

8. Learn How to Cook for Health — No more excuses. No more prepared or pre packaged foods. And no more eating out at fat farm restaurants  and by all means avoid your favorite all-you-can-eat Cafeteria.  No more Pre Packaged and/or Prepared Foods that are loaded with chemicals, preservatives, artificial flavors, artificial colorings, toxins, sugars, white flour, artificial flavors, corn syrups, tons of sodium (salt) and on and on and on. These Ingredients Are Killers! If you must eat out make intelligent choices. learn more

***

9. Get Better at Meal Planning and Shopping. Plan all of your meals and make out the shopping lists before heading out. You should know what foods pack what vitamins and minerals you need each and everyday. And remember, don’t shop hungry. Get acquainted with the minimum required vitamins and minerals that your body (your kids too) needs each and everyday to be healthy? Not sure? Time to do some research or get an “F” in nutrition. We have the scoop on nutrition. When all else fails consider taking a multi vitamin. learn more

***

10. Get acquainted with the Fats. What  are the good fats and what are the bad fats? Do you know the difference? The Bad Fats will kill you. Good Fats can lengthen your life. Bottom line — Give Up The Lard, Give Up The Crisco, Give Up The Butter and The Bacon Grease! Yikes! You Still Eat Bacon? Switch to lean meats, fish and chicken. Leave the fat on the plate. Check out Meet the Fats one of my favs.
