Being fat affects your whole wellbeing.

It seems that we are reminded daily of obesity rising here in the U.S and around the World. The health issues alone can affect you physically in many ways including heart disease, diabetes, stroke, added stress to your joints, and several other ways that it can shorten your life. It can also affect your mental, emotional, and even spiritual health.

There are many reasons why people become obese or even a few pounds heavier than they would like to be. Not all weight gain involves overeating and a lack of exercise. Life situations that afect you emotionally or mentally. Some medications can also increase your appetite or decrease your libido. This can lead to mental ilness such as being diagnosed with a Bipolar condition or depression which can also trigger an overeating binging period.

Many times someones health is greatly affected before deciding that it's time to go on more than just a diet but to engage yourself in a major lifestyle change. Diets come and go with many fads. Some may produce great short term results but can't be maintained for long term benefits and can often be unhealthful if continued. Usually these fad diets take some important part out of your daily eating such as low fat, low calorie, or low carb.

The best approach is a sustained lifestyle change that includes exercising, eating the right right foods which means eating the correct amount of fats, proteins, and even carbs, and also nutritional supplementation. Doing one of these will usually produce good results, doing two will give you better results, and doing all three is the best way to achieve the body you are looking for with reduced body fat, increased muscle mass, and an overall healthier body, mind, and spirit for long term health and wellness.

Since March I have been a Team Captain for several USANA Reset Scramble Contests. When I personally was competing on the first team team I lost 9 pounds. My wife Sonia lost 6 pounds in the second round, and most recently one of our team members lost 15 pounds. These have run for two weeks at at time and even recently for four weeks. Obviously this amount of time is not enough to develop long term lifestyle changes and good healthy habits but it can introduce you to what would be expected to develop new habits as you go forward.

Imagine how your life would change if you weighed over 500 pounds and seeing your health and even your life slipping away. Hattie Montgomery has lost 320 pounds over the last few years.
