Losing Weight
Obesity is at an all-time high worldwide and is continuing to climb. According to a study by the Lancet, there has been a startling increase in rates of obesity and overweight in both adults (28% increase) and in Children (up to 47%) in the past 33 year, with the number of overweight and obese people rising from 857 million in 1980 to 2.1 Billion in 2013. However, the rates vary widely throughout the world with more than half of the world's 671 Million obese individuals living in just ten countries -- the USA, China and India, Russia, Brazil, Mexico, Egypt, Germany, Pakistan, and Indonesia.If you are obese or even overweight, there are good reasons to lose your excess weight and become more fit. Even small changes can improve your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, blood sugar, diabetes and heart health. By losing weight and becoming more fit, you'll probably find that you'll sleep better, have more energy, be able to think more clearly and of course, look better and become more confident. Your skiin will probably be clearer, your hair and nails will likely become stronger and grow faster and you will probably have less pain because the pressure on your joints and the rest of your body will decrease.
In theory, losing weight is simple. You need to burn more calories than you take in. According to the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC), one pound equals 3,500 calories. That means in order to lose 1-2 pounds per week, you would need to reduce your daily caloric intake by 500-1000 calories per day. Of course, exercising regularly will also help you burn additional calories.

That way, you get the most nutrition for the calories that you take in/ Make those calories count by eating the foods that will support your body's functions, provide maximum nutrition, help you feel full and give you the energy you need.The most nutrient-dense foods you can eat are vegetables. You should incorporate as many of these highly nutritious foods in your diet whenever possible.
Leafy Greens
These vegetables are packed with nutritious vitamins and are the most nutrient dense foods you can eat. Top choices are watercress, bok choy, chard, beet greens, seaweed, and spinach. Other good choices are leaf lettuce, romaine lettuce, collard greens and kale.
Other Power Veggies
Besides leafy greens, these vegetables pack a nutritious punch: carrots, red bell peppers, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, asparagus, pumpkin and winter squash.
Still More Vegetables
Even vegetables that aren't in the "Power" group still provide more nutrition than most other foods. Good choices are corn, cucumbers, iceberg lettuce, peas, leeks, sweet potatoes, turnips and onions.
Fruits
Though not as nutrient dense as many vegetables, plenty of fruits provide excellent nutrition. Top performers are lemons, strawberries, limes, oranges, blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, plums, pomegranates, grapes and cherries.
Beans
Legumes are all an excellent source of cholesterol-lowering fiber. They provide protein and minerals without any fat. Tofu and other soy products are a good protein substitute for meat.
Nuts
Peanut butter, cashews, pistachios, almonds and walnuts contain the most nutrients
Seeds
Flax, sesame, sunflower, hemp and chia seeds are all good choices.
Meats
Salmon contains those wonderful omega=3 fatty acids along with valuable minerals, so it is one of the most nutritious meats you can eat.

Potatoes, Eggs and Low-Fat Milk
These foods often get a bad rap, but are actually packed full of good nutrition.
Whole Grains
Always choose whole grains when eating cereal, bread or pasta for the most nutritious option. Oatmeal ranks high as a nutrient dense food.
Consider removing all "wheat" to reduce wheat belly.
BUT replace it NOT with gluten free, instead consider https://jovialfoods.com
WE have personally bought these products, LOVE the pasta, flour bakes nicely. I even love the rice pasta's.
Physical activity is anything that gets your body moving. You need to do two types of physical activity each week to improve your health: aerobic and muscle-strengthening.
For important health benefits, adults, ages 18-64, need at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity such as brisk walking every week and muscle-strengthening activities on 2 or more days a week. These muscle-strengthening activities should work all major muscle groups (legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest, shoulders, and arms).
For those who prefer a more vigorous workout such as running, a total of 1 hr & 15 min is adequate for aerobic activity.
While 150 min each week sounds like a lot of time, it's really not. that's 2 hrs and 30 min, about the same amount of time you might spend watching a movie. The good news is that you can spread your activity out during the week, so you don't have to do it all at once. You can even break it up into smaller chunks of time during the day. It's about what works best for you, as long as you're doing physical activity at a moderate or vigorous effort for at least 10 minutes a time.
Of course, the times listed above are the minimum amount of activity you should be getting. If you are trying to lose weight or significantly improve your physique, you will want to increase your aerobic and muscle-strengthening activities.
Aerobic activities get your heart beating faster. Besides walking fast, you can dance, mow the lawn, ride a bike, do water aerobics or play doubles tennis. Those activities would be considered moderate-intensity. Vigorous intensity aerobic activities include running or jogging, swimming laps, riding a bike fast or on hills, playing basketball or singles tennis.
To gain the most of your muscle-strengthening activities, you should work to the point where it is hard to do another repetition. Try to do as many repetitions of a muscle-strengthening activity as you can (8-12 repetitions count as a set). Do at least one set per muscle group. You can use a gym equipment and weights to help you strengthen your muscles. If you can't get to the gym, you can use hand weights, resistance bands, and calisthenic-type exercises such as sit-ups and push-ups that use your body's weight for resistance. Heavy gardening (digging and shoveling) and yoga also strengthen your muscles.
Essential oils can encourage and inspire you to exercise.
1> Dilute the respiratory blend and spray it on your body before a workout to help open your nasal passageways and mind. You can also use the focusing blend to help inspire you and focus your energies on your exercising task if you prefer.
2> After exercising, rub the massage blend into your sore muscles for soothing comfort.
3> Once you take a shower, massage tea tree oil into your feet to avoid athlete's foot and to soothe your sore feet. You can also massage the relaxation blend into your muscles to calm, relax and relieve stress and tension. It will help increase circulation and decrease inflammation.
4> If you have any injuries, bruises or strains, rub Helichrysum oil onto the affected area and follow up with an ice pack if necessary.
