9 Foods That Will Keep You Trim

An Apple a Day Keeps The Doctor Away! We have all heard the saying, “we are what we eat”. This is so very, very true. Just as people that are extremely thin have poor immune systems, so it can be for us more portly folks and  we can have severely reduced immune systems. This is really dangerous for us, and leaves us all open to all manner of illnesses that normally our bodies, were they in optimum health, be able to fight off easily. Worldwide the increase in diabetes and heart disease is through the roof compared to 50 years ago. Yes fast foods have contributed to this increase but it we did not consume those foods then many would not be suffering today from overweight. Many people do have medical conditions that increase weight gains, but for the most part it is our own fault that we are overweight. We are the ones that literally stuff the wrong foods into our bodies. We consciously make the choose to eat the hamburger for example. I am yet to see hamburgers flying out of fast foods outlets and ramming themselves down our throats. Admittedly it might be a funny sight to see just once, but the reality is, that we choose to eat those garbage foods. Continually blaming the fast food industry for our greed is really a cop out. We need to take back control of what we eat, it really is that simple. For many people keeping trim can be a mammoth task. Many have tried numerous diets only to find that they either don't work at all and just another hyped up piece of garbage that ended up making someone very rich out of it, or they are so restrictive that people simply just give up trying. Many are now discovering finally, that a balance of eating good wholesome "pure" foods and a balanced exercise plan has far better results and people are able to not only lose the weight but also keep their weight in check. I came across this article this morning that lists 9 foods that will keep us trim. It is not a diet plan but simply foods that are good for keeping our weight in check. These are foods that are easily obtainable at any store , or for many, that we can make or grow ourselves, and we don't have to mortgage the house to pay for a diet plan that in reality, just does not work for the majority of  people. As with anything always research these things before you dive head first into them. More often than not if something looks too good to be true then it is usually a crock and a total waste of your money. Gaining weight is always a slow process. We never go to bed thin one night and hey presto, the next morning when we wake up we gained 10 pounds or whatever.  Just as it takes time to gain the weight it also takes time to lose it. I am sorry to say this, but there are no instant remedies or quick fixes for this ever increasing problem. We gradually did this to ourselves and we now have to work hard to gradually get rid of the fats we have accumulated. Recognising the problem is the first step. Banning all garbage from our bodies is the second. Then comes choosing to eat only pure healthy foods, fighting temptation to revert to our old ways and plenty of fresh air and exercise.  No! Sitting on the sofa or couch all day watching TV and eating Mc Donald’s will not do it I am afraid. Making our weight loss fun is most beneficial and will ensure that we stay on the target that we set for ourselves. When we do this we have a much higher chance of sticking to our weight lose program and succeeding.  Avocados are so good! We must make a conscious effort to change our own bad habits if we truly want to be successful in losing weight. I gained a lot of weight when I was confined to a wheelchair for 4 years after falling through a roof, hitting a step ladder on the way down and shattering 5 discs in my lower spine and fracturing several vertebrae.   Because I could not get up and exercise, the weight came a calling in pounds and pounds and is something that I really struggled with for a very long time. It has been 10 years now since I defied all the specialists and was able to walk again, but I still today battle the weight issues. I have lost 6 dress sizes and still want to lose about 2 more dress sizes to get to what I regard as a healthy weight. Being as thin as a twig is no healthier than being overweight, and for this reason we need to be realistic when we lose weight. Loosing too much too quickly can be as problematic if not more so in some cases as not losing the weight at all. As with all things in life, it is far better to approach our weight loss in moderation. If we expect to lose weight overnight, then we are just setting ourselves up to failure before we even begin.
