It's no secret that there are more people these days, including many teenagers, that are struggling with their weight. Either from a poor diet, a lack of physical activity, or both. There really is no need for teens to go on extreme diets or to feel like they need to join Weight Watchers or Jenny Craig, all we really have to do is eat a balanced, colorful diet of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Make sure you're getting enough exercise as well. An hour a day is what is said to be the best, but if you only have a half an hour that's better than nothing! We should be looking to better the future and help our friends and families stay fit and live long healthy lives. Th majority of these blogs are going to be about staying active, eating healthy and losing those couple extra pounds that make you feel unsure of yourself or just unhappy!
No one wants to be overweight (unless you're in the Sumo Wrestling business) so, why are American's eating like that? Big meals late in the day. Sleeping very shortly after eating thousands of calories. Why would we be baffeled when the scale is continuously creeping upward? If you eat more calories than your body is going to burn it gets stored. Yes; this is fat.
It's a simple equation, really. More calories in than out = stored as fat. More calories out than in = you're going to lose weight. No need for anything drastic; just don't eat more than your body is going to use.
