Obesity and Weight Loss Muscle and the importance of low body fat!

Today you have a good chance of getting diabetes or becoming obese or both. And if you do, then chances are you will be in for a long life filled with pain, discomfort and little quality in your life. However, it does not have to come to that.

Hi, my name is Greg Ryan. I am a high profile fitness expert. With thousands of weight loss success stories under my belt, I am here to encourage you to start exercising to lower your body fat levels.

If you are reading this, you already know you have a problem. You just need to know how to fix it and where to go for help. How do you fix obesity?

First, obesity means, your total body weight is at least thirty percent fat. When this happens, everything starts shutting down. Two things must occur in order for this not to get worse; lose fat and gain muscle.

Lose Fat: Through exercise and eating better.

Gain Muscle: Through weight training and weight bearing cardiovascular exercising.

One muscle cell burns off seven times the amount of one fat cell. So do your math. The more muscle tissue you have the more calories you will burn, even by just sitting. There is no easy way around this, you are going to have to get off your butt, or there is a good chance of something bad happening to you and your health. Incorporating, diet, exercise and movement in your life is really your only healthy choice. Do you need some help? If so, thats ok. There are those here like myself that really care about you and are not out to make a quick buck with some pie in the sky pill.

While my approach to weight loss is the road less traveled in is the one that will most likely get you to your destination. America has an obesity and diabetes crisis because of your approach to it, not the numbers they supply on your charts. Here are five points to remember:

Determine HOW you are motivated

Determine the REASONS behind the unwanted behaviors.

Develop a great support system

Eat for fuel not for taste

Keep being active.

I truly am asking you and almost begging you to follow these points. If you dont you are really asking for trouble soon down the road. I will help you if you let me. Let me prove it to you.

A Simple and Permanent Cure for Childhood Obesity

Scouring the multitude of medical research literature, media releases, and paediatric literature, it is absolutely clear that the cure for childhood obesity is a simple case of ensuring that childrens calorie intake is appropriate for the amount of physical activity undertaken. It is clear if a child drinks a couple of cans of sweetened soft drink that same child will have consumed an extra 300 calories and 20 teaspoons of sugar, all of which need to be worked off to avoid obesity. It is estimated it would take 1 hour of intense high-impact aerobics to work off those extra 300 calories.<br>Weve been lead to believe that avoiding childhood obesity is complicated and time-consuming, requiring a team of nutritionists, fitness experts, educators and even private investigators to ensure our children do as theyre told.<br>Ute Fumeaux, CEO and founder of child-educational-toys.com is a mother of 3 and an ex-aerobics instructor. Her background means shes conscious of the need for all of us to move more. Ute has always encouraged her children to eat a wide variety of healthy and delicious natural, unprocessed, raw foods. Yes her children have treats but these treats are a very low percentage of the childrens daily calorie intake.<br>Professor Gary Egger of Deakin University and author of a number of books including Gut busters agrees with Utes practice he says the problem is we and our children are getting fatter. In the last 20 years Australians have been putting on weight at the rate of one gram a day. But we eat less than our grandparents did, so why all that extra weight? Prof Egger believes technology is primarily to blame. We have so many gadgets to do things for us that we have become lazy. In fact, we are using 800 calories less energy every day than we did in 1970. <br><br>I dont think the human body is ready for the technological revolution, Prof Egger said. <br><br>Social factors are also contributing to this general slow down of movement, right from a childs earliest years. Parents are more reluctant to let their children play too far from the home. Very often, a childs world is limited to the house and a small backyard. <br><br>And the television and home computer appear to be nudging out tree climbing and other outdoor activities on the most favoured pastimes list. Prof Egger says the evidence suggests that watching television actually slows down our metabolism, making it harder to burn off the extra calories. The snack food advertisements on TV and the fast food culture are all adding to our growing girths too. <br><br>The good news is we dont have to give up all our favourite foods and we dont have to eat less. In fact, we can eat more, providing we eat differently, Prof Egger says. It is the high fat foods, the chips and peanuts, that we eat that make us put on weight. He suggests we increase our intake of raw fruit and vegetables and increase our physical activity.<br>Prof Egger isnt suggesting we throw away our computers and techno games, after all thats part of whats making this century so interesting, all hes suggesting is that we balance it all out. Sure your child can spend an hour on the computer, watching TV or playing video games but then make sure he/she is spending at least an hour running around kicking a ball, climbing trees, swimming, bike riding, playing chasings, rumbling, jumping on a trampoline or another fun, active game.<br>Prof Egger isnt suggesting your child never eats ice creams or lollies, hes just suggesting that those empty calories are just a very small part of a diet loaded with raw fruit, vegetables, nuts (where appropriate) and seeds, grains, lean meat. <br>Prof Egger suggests you educate your child about healthy eating, include them in food preparation wherever possible (most mums would be happy with that) and educate them on the healthful benefits of regular exercise.<br>The key message to all children and parents needs to be that we all need to balance out our calorie intake and energy output and make sure we have fun with both.<br> <br> <br> About the author:<br> About the Author <br>Ute Fumeaux Sydney Australia <br>Learn more about your child <br>Ute Fumeaux is a fast-paced educator who blends the experience of raising her own 3 children with years of study and observation.

See how these mums slashed that cost by 80%Ute FumeauxA group of like-minded mothers have discovered a way of providing their children with high quality childrens educational toys and theyre only paying 20% of store price. These mothers arent spending hours in discount stores or second hand toy stores. Theyre buying high quality, highly sought after childrens educational toys and instead of paying $100 theyre paying only $20. Theyve organised themselves in groups of 5 or 6 and each mother is buying a toy worth $100. These toys are then circulated within the group so that the group has toys to the value of $500 - $600 and each child has a one month turn with the toy before passing it on to the next family.<br><br>Ute Fumeaux, CEO and founder of child-educational-toys.com is a mother of 3 who empathised with the thousands of mothers who find it tough finding the extra cash for those high quality childrens educational toys on the market.<br><br>But then, Ute came up with a great idea, one that to date has probably saved her 100s of dollars.In fact this idea has saved 4 of her friends 100s of dollars. It was such a simple idea, that when Ute shared it with 4 friends in her mothers group, they laughed. It just seemed too simple not to be something that everyone did.<br><br>The idea?<br><br>Toy Sharing<br><br>Hang on lets clarify. 5 mothers of boys and girls of similar ages got together had a look both on-line and at the multitude of toy catalogues in the mail box. They each chose $100 worth of high quality (relatively unisex) childrens educational toys.<br><br>They then set up a share system or toy library system with the toys. Each family had 1 month turns of each of the toys. At the end of each month the toys were rotated within the group.<br><br>Now lets have a look at what this meant firstly for the children:<br><br><br> New high quality educational toys each month.<br> Just when they were bored/no longer using the toy as often, it went to someone else and a new toy arrived.<br> More space to play as their rooms were less cluttered with toys<br> There was more money available to the family for other necessities.<br><br>And then of course from the parents perspective:<br><br> Because new toys were circulating every month, there was always an answer for can I have<br> Money saved<br> Less unused toys lying around the house<br> High quality educational toys were available to their children.<br><br><br>This process may seem simple but we all know there are 1000s of families feeling the pinch who still like to be able to provide high quality childrens educational toys for their children. Well why not try Utes idea and save yourself 100s of dollars and be able to give your children their toys?
