Have you ever known anyone to struggle with weight issues? Why is it so difficult? Is there an answer that is not a gimmick? What does this have to do with chiropractic? One of the biggest mistakes many people make, is relying upon the scale. Exercise builds calorie-burning muscle, and muscle weighs more than fat. The scale reading may be higher, but a pound of muscle takes up less room than a pound of fat, which means you can wear a size smaller.

Weight loss is simply math. One pound of fat is 3,500 calories; to lose it, one must create a 3,500 calorie deficit meaning less foods and more exercise. The concept that a “fat-free diet” is best for weight-loss, is incorrect. As long as it’s “good” fat like avocado, fat is satiating and helps weight-loss.

How am I supposed to lose and maintain weight, when I’m hungry all of the time? By filling up on a high volume of low-calorie foods that are high in water and in fibers. How about this? A large salad with chicken, avocado and brown rice, plus non-creamy soup. Yum! This is the same number of calories, none of which are healthy that are in just a few cookies.

Let’s play jeopardy. This beverage is one of the sneakiest sources of calories, sugar and/or chemical sweeteners? Hint: It’s fizzy. What is soda? It’s dangerously unhealthy stuff. Break the habit by switching to plain sparkling water, flavored with a bit of natural, organic fruit juice. Refreshing!

Even moderate sugar consumption makes weight-management difficult. Any sugar the body does not use for energy, turns to fat. What should someone consume? Whole foods such as raw fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans and raw milk. Organic food is not necessarily whole food.

Choosing whole foods over “diet foods” is vital, for three key reasons.
1. Diet foods are often packed with sugar or chemical sweeteners.
2. Added nutrients are not as good as naturally-existing.
3. By design, the body is meant to function on whole foods.

True or False? In addition to exercise, consuming weight-reducing foods guarantees weight-loss because “you are what you eat.” False. True or False? In addition to exercise, consuming weight-reducing foods guarantees weight-loss because “you are what you eat.” The answer is false. You are what you digest. Poor digestion causes nutrients to pass directly through the body; food cravings and weight-loss difficulties arise.
