The term “weight loss” is so common that there are over 88 billion Google searches per month. However, the key is really Fat Loss, Not Weight Loss.
At least 2.8 million people die each year from obesity related diseases. 34 % of adults in the U.S. are obese, with another 34 % being overweight. In a more startling statistic, in children 50 % of boys are obese along side 40 % of girls.
What gives…
According to the NIH in 2010, “Obesity is the next major epidemiologic challenge facing today’s doctors”. This study titled “The Obesity Epidemic” states that Obesity is associated with a higher incidence of a number of diseases, including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer”.
The NIH explains that factors like fast food expansion, industrially produced trans fats, and portion sizes, to say the least.
How do we fight back?
I am not sure how to fix this on a grand scale without dismantling the fast food industry and remodeling the entire food industry as a whole. However, on an individual level, we can fix a lot.
That is why I am doing what I do. My goal is to provide science-backed resources for individuals who want to make a dramatic change in their lives. I created these resources for people who desire to eat healthy, lose weight, feel great, and hopefully live longer, more fulfilling lives.
Therefore, I went on the same journey to figure out what was causing me to pack on the pounds and feel sluggish every day. I slept horribly, ate poorly, and exercised infrequently to say the least. With the changes I made, I’m hoping that you too can become the best and healthiest version of yourself.
Why Fat Loss, Not Weight Loss
The common misconception, mainly due to advertising, is that we coined the phrase weight loss and established it as an entire industry designed to provide resources and tools for people who wanted to get healthy. With that came countless ideas and theories about the best ways to lose weight and to do it fast.
The problem with most weight loss systems is that they focus on just that, weight loss. If the scale numbers go down, we are doing a great job. This seems like a great thing, but what is really going on?
In many weight loss programs weight loss includes muscle loss and even a loss of healthy bodily functions, due to the lack of good nutrition. These programs become a way to lose weight fast and be lighter on the scale.
What these programs fail to tell you is that most people that do “lose weight fast” protocols gain the weight back when going back to “normal” eating, and many gain back more weight than before.
This is because there is an ignorance of the most important goal of healthy weight loss, and that is Fat Loss. Fat Loss is a bit more complicated than just cutting out sodas, or eating salad all the time. In fact, eating salad all the time is fairly unhealthy, because it lacks the vital nutrients your body needs to function properly.
What do I offer?
My program is not much different than many out there with the goal of total health and fat loss. I provide the resources and information necessary to make informed decisions. I share my story about how I lost 50 pounds in 8 months and created a much healthier lifestyle.
