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.
Hey this blog is great! You touch really well on the basics of being healthy. You bring out some interesting points, but most importantly tell it how it needs to be heard. Your equation is great, and hopefully people will see your point and avoid the bandwagon diets. This short post provided a great opening to a blog with a large amount of potential. I would be interested to see where this goes and maybe see some images.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your blog. The information presented was very concise. The issue of being overweight is no secret and can be conquered by eating the right kinds of foods such as vegetables and fruits and also maintaining physical activity. Not only should one just eat the right kinds of food; we should also eat in appropriate portions. By doing this we will burn more calories than we intake on a daily basis. We should definitely take your advice and quit the bad eating habits that we have and start paying more attention to what we eat as being overweight is simply unhealthy.
