That bulge may be a signal of distress! You, have read about, or have seen, the Royal Gorge in Colorado, but there may be a "royal gorge' much closer at home to you than that.
Obesity, a morbid condition of being overweight, is most measurably seen in our children.Studies published in 2004 reveal that the fastest growing population of overweight individuals is children between the ages of 2 and 17. This upcoming generation holds the unique distinction as being the first people in recorded history, with the exception of those after and including Noah, who are not expected to live longer than their parents. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently predicted that 42% of Americans could be obese by 2030.
In order to reduce unwanted weight, we must burn more calories than we consume. Our understanding of the role of obesity and insulin resistance has progressed in recent years and has helped us incorporate new approaches to this epidemic problem. Factors that may contribute to this imbalance include: limited exercise and sedentary lifestyle; a genetic predisposition; a high glycemic index diet (i.e., a diet that consists of meals that give high postprandial blood sugar ); weight cycling ( repeated attempts to lose weight by dieting ); an underlying illness ( hypothyroidism ); an eating disorder ( such as binge eating disorder ); natural aging, causing a slow down in metabolism, hormone production, digestive enzyme production and frequently, reduced motivation; stress; insufficient sleep; psychotropic medications; smoking cessation and overeating.
Take courage! You can win "the battle of the bulge" if you will start living the NUTRITION WAY TO HEALTH. I am not going to advocate the practice usually known as "dieting". A diet, in case you hadn't thought of it in this way, is usually associated with some type of disease. You go on a diet because pain and distress are fresh in your memory. You stay on it as long as your memory lasts, then fall off the "wagon" at the first opportunity. This is the case history of "The Diet".
If you need nutritional assistance with your dieting Shaklee has introduced the Cinch Inch Loss Plan, a scientific approach to deliver weight loss and inch loss results. Unlike other diets, Cinch is designed to help users successfully reach their desirable body weight while preserving muscle. Clinical studies actually showed that muscle mass was gained while fat was burned. Cinch products contain the clinically proven ingredient, leucine, an amino acid that helps preserve lean body mass ( muscle ) and protein to help control hunger.
The "famine effect" is : reducing calories in an otherwise healthy but overweight person reducing calories and causing almost as much lean muscle and bone loss as fat loss. Keeping the body from losing indispensable protein has been difficult. Leucine, an essential amino acid found in limited amounts in dietary protein, appears to signal muscle cells to not only hold onto protein but also build new protein when adequate dietary protein is maintained and calories reduced. Nature DEMANDS that you supply the necessary nutritional material material, and neither you nor Nature need to make excuses.

Trying to eat a sensible diet can be difficult anywhere, but staying on track at work can be especially challenging. Let’s face it—not all of your coworkers are going to embrace your desire for healthy eating. From conspicuous stashes of sweets to periodic potluck repasts, the workplace can be a minefield of excess calories, sugar, and fat. Add to that the temptation to assuage stress with vending machine treats, and you have the potential for diet disaster.
By making your health a priority, even at work, you’ll reap the benefits of a fitter you and set an example for your coworkers. In fact, getting them involved in the process is a wonderful way to support each other. Try organizing a healthy recipe pool at work and occasionally plan a potluck lunch to share your favorite healthy dishes.
