Weight Loss & Obesity Video 10 Steps towards Permanent Weight Loss, Improved Vitality, and Optimal Health EXPERT ADVICE: Managing Obesity Author: Dr. Amol More, BAMS, MD (AM) Obesity is one of the fastest spreading Non-communicable disease today. It is a condition of excessive fat, either generalized or localized. A person who is 20% more than his Ideal Body Weight(IBW) is considered to be an obese person. Usually OBESITY is due to positive energy balance. That is, the intake of calories is more than the expenditure of calories. Recognized since 1985 as a disease with serious health implications, OBESITY is a leading cause of preventable death, second only to cigarette smoking. Obesity has been established as a major risk factor for Hypertension, Cardiovascular Diseases, Diabetes Mellitus and some Cancers in both men and women. It affects a large number of urban population and its prevalence is increasing. Obesity is found in all age groups irrespective of sex, caste and creed, though it is still considered to be a disease of the upper class. Obesity is now regarded as a chronic disease caused by a complex set of factors such as Hereditary factors, Improper eating habits, Lack of physical activity, Hormonal imbalance, Stress, Lifestyle disorder, etc. Obesity of a person is determined by his Body Mass Index (BMI). BMI is the standard used by researchers to define a persons weight according to his height. An individual is considered to be overweight if his BMI is between 25 & 29. He is said to be obese if BMI is between 30 & 34. BMI more than 35 is significantly obese or grade II obesity, and so on. A pErson with BMI between 20 & 24 is considered to be ideal or healthy. Increase in body weight leads to various other health hazards such as Hypertension, Diabetes, Cardiac Disorders, Hyperlipidemia, Infertility, Sexual Dysfunction, Bone & Joint Disorders,etc,etc. Loosing weight is a very lengthy process and it has to be done in a very systematic and natural way. Yoga along with proper eating habits and certain changes in our lifestyle gives excellent results in weight loss. As with all exercise programs, it is advised people consult their healthcare professional before beginning yoga and pranayama. Along with Yoga practice, it is also very essential to follow certain dietary norms & changes in lifestyle. Following an Ayurvedic food plan according to your dosh will go a long way to safely and quickly balance weight. According to this author, it is advisable to avoid rice, sugar, sweets, fermented and oily foods. Potatoes, corn, beetroot and peas are also to be avoided. Intake of vegetables and salads should be more. One bowl of fruit servings such as apple, pear or orange (other than mango, banana, chickoo, grapes, custardapple, strawberry) can be had. Fruit juices are to be avoided but vegetable juices can be consumed. Paneer or tofu can be had in small quantities , but no cheese or butter. Cereals such as bran , millet, soy should be included. Bread should be of whole wheat. It is better to stick to vegetarian food. If not possible, white chicken-grilled or roasted , fish such as tuna or salmon again grilled or roasted can be consumed. Red meat and shellfish such as lobsters, prawns, oysters are to be avoided. 1 or 2 egg whites can be included in breakfast. Alcohol is better avoided but one can have white rum or vodka once in a while. Smoking should be totally stopped. 10 to12 glasses of water should be had daily. There are many Ayurvedic herbs that help dissolve fat and improve digestion. These are best to discuss with an Ayurvedic practitioner who can determine your best herbs and food plan for your dosha. Certain Dos & Dont's: 1. Make Lifestyle changes a priority . 2. Motivate yourself, be focused. 3. Set small goals & try to achieve them first. 4. Get up early in the morning. 5. Do yogasanas and light exercises daily. 6. Have fixed lunch and dinner timings. 7. Eat at regular intervals. 8. Do not sleep in the afternoon. 9. Do not sit immediately after dinner. Walk for at least 10 minutes post dinner. 10. Do weekend chores the physical way-use a mop to clean the floor, wash your windows, wash your car manually. 11. Play outdoor games with your children instead of just watching them play. 12. Always consult your Doctor before starting any heavy exercise regime. 13. Find and follow your life purpose 14. Deepen your spiritual life 15. BE POSITIVE. Loosing weight is a long and tedious process. People get demotivated and frustruated easily.

Last but not the least "Always keep Smiling" it helps in burning a lot of calories. Recommendations •Yogic Slim for Weight Loss •Sherpa Strength for Muscle Enhancement Yogic Slim

Try a Proprietary Formula for Fat Loss based on Ayurveda - the Oldest and Most Comprehensive Medical System Available. Yogic Slim treats the underlying causes of Obesity - not just the symptoms!

• Genes - Obesity in many cases runs in families. If one or both of your parents are obese, your obesity risk is higher because genes determine your body shape and, to some extent, your weight.

• Fatty Foods - Daily intake of Hot dogs, Big Macs, French fries, Macaroni and Cheese, Nachos, Potato Chips, Ice Cream -- all these high-fat favorites are causes of soaring obesity rates.

• Lifestyle - If you spend most of your time at a desk, your risk for obesity is higher.  The risk is higher for people whose fat intake makes up more than 30 percent of their daily calories.  People who get 20 to 30 minutes of exercise most days or have an active lifestyle are less likely to be obese.

• Metabolic Rate - This is the rate at which your body uses food.  If your metabolism tends to be slow, you are more likely to store excess calories in the form of fat.  A slow metabolism means you probably need to work harder at losing weight.

• Psychology - Some people overeat when they feel stressed out or depressed.  About 30 percent of obese people are binge eaters (overeaters).

Negative Impact
The following are immediate consequences of obesity:

• Breathlessness

• Excessive Sweating

• Snoring

• Insomnia

• Difficulty coping with sudden physical activity

• Feeling very tired every day

• Back and joint pains

• Reduced mobility

• Low self-esteem

• Feeling of isolation from society

Long-term obesity greatly increases risk of: high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease and stroke, breast cancer in women, gall bladder disease, gastro-esophageal reflux disease and associated problems, arthritis of the back, hips, knees and ankles, diabetes, and reduced life expectancy.

Treatment
Western medicine relies on aggressive prescription drugs and surgery (liposuction / stomach reduction) to deal with problems related to obesity.  These methods generally address only the symptoms of obesity and not the underlying causes.  As soon as you stop using the drugs, the problem returns!  And surgery is prohibitively expensive and carries the risk of infection and complications.

Also prescription drugs often result in unwanted and even dangerous side effects.  For example, the combined side effects of Sibutramine, Orlistat, and Phentermine include an increased number of bowel movements, constipation, dry mouth, gas with bowel movements, headache, heart and lung problems, inability to control bowel movements, increased blood pressure, increased heart rate, irritability, nausea, nervousness, oily or fatty stool, oily spotting, flatulence (with discharge), and an urgent need to go to the bathroom, possible addiction, sleep problems, and excessive sweating.

Non-medical methods for weight loss such as diet programs and fat targeting exercise routines have failed to break the cycle of weight gain.

Ayurveda, the science of life, prevention and longevity, is the oldest and most holistic and comprehensive medical system available.  Its fundamentals can be found in Hindu scriptures called the Vedas - the ancient Indian books of wisdom written over 5,000 years ago.  Ayurveda uses the inherent principles of nature to help maintain health in a person by keeping the individual's body, mind, and spirit in perfect equilibrium with nature.  It prescribes the therapeutic use of various herbal preparations for enhancing vigor and overall well-being.

India Herbs has a seasoned group of Ayurvedic doctors specialized in Rasayana Chikitsa, one of the eight major specialties of Ayurveda.  It is the branch of Ayurveda that deals with various aspects of preventive health care.  Rasayana Chikitsa includes therapies for longevity, improved memory, health, youthfulness, complexion, and strength of body and senses.  Rasayana Chikitsa prescribes the therapeutic use of various herbal and holistic preparations for maintaining optimal weight while strengthening the body and overall well-being.

India Herbs' Rasayana Chikitsa doctors have developed a proprietary herbal formula based on centuries' old wisdom to rejuvenate stagnant bodily functions that contribute to weight gain and obesity.  The Yogic Slim formulation coupled with adherence to simple advice on diet, exercise, mental training, and relaxation will help you lose weight and attain good health through safe, natural means.

Recommendations
You can maximize fat loss by incorporating the following into your lifestyle:

1) Use a Quality Fat Loss Supplement - To help reverse the cycle of fat gain, hundreds of phytonutrients in Yogic Slim act at the molecular level to raise metabolic rate, increase energy, prevent muscle loss, and stabilize hormones and insulin levels thus regulating appetite.

2) Weight Training - More muscle mass means a higher resting metabolic rate and more calories burned.  Weight training 3 to 4 days per week (less than 1 hour per session with 30 to 60 second rest periods in between sets) will foster high levels of muscle building (anabolic) hormones and minimize muscle wasting (catabolic) hormones.  Work each body part once a week (chest and back on day 1, legs on day 3, shoulders and arms on day 5).

3) Aerobics - 40 to 60 minutes of aerobics (jogging, fast walking, swimming, cycling) on alternating days from weight training will help to burn fat and calories, increase physical endurance, strengthen heart and lungs, help control blood lipid levels and blood pressure, increase insulin sensitivity, and enhance energy and ability to cope with stress.  Since aerobics on an empty stomach rely on fat for energy, morning time is ideal for aerobics.  The level of intensity should be within your target heart range.  This means 60% to 85% of your maximum heart rate (you feel the workout is somewhat hard where you feel tired but can continue for the entire 40 to 60 minute period).

4) Carbohydrates - consume low to moderate GI (Glycemic Index) carbohydrates at all times.  All low GI diets are based on the same principle of balancing blood sugar.  The foods which are restricted on low GI diets are those which cause your blood sugar and insulin levels to rise fast and high.  This results in more food being converted to fat.  Some foods commonly believed to be healthy actually have a high GI index: dried dates, watermelon, banana, raisins, brown rice pasta, white rice, cornmeal, couscous, instant rice, white bread, wholemeal bread, dark rye, and popular cereals (Raisin Bran, Special K, Grape Nuts, Cornflakes, Rice Krispies, Cheerios, Puffed Wheat).

5) Protein - consume lean, complete protein regularly with meals to raise your metabolic and anabolic hormones and prevent lean tissue loss.  Good protein sources are skinless chicken, salmon, tuna, sardines, low fat cottage cheese, egg whites, and turkey breast.  Avoid luncheon meats, whole milk, ground beef, cheese, bacon, pork chops, and yogurt.

6) Reduce Saturated Fats and Replace with Polyunsaturated Fats (PUFAs) - Limit butter, red meat, cheese, mayonnaise, macadamia nuts, peanut butter, and sunflower seeds.  Avoid margarine, foods with "partially hydrogenated" on labeling, processed vegetable oils, and fried foods.  Regularly consume flax oil, non-processed vegetable oils, salmon, olive oil, hazelnuts, peanut oil, hemp, avocado, almonds, and fish oil.

7) Regularly Drink Water - Drink at least 8 to 10 glasses of water per day to avoid dehydration and help liberate fat stores to be burned as energy.

8) Multivitamins - A good quality multivitamin / mineral supplement is always advisable for maximizing metabolism, fat loss, and health.

9) Increase Fiber Intake - Fibrous vegetables like Broccoli, Cauliflower, Peppers, and Carrots, and other raw vegetables and brown rice and whole grains increase transit time of food, improve digestion, and enhance weight loss.  They also add bulk to the diet which reduces appetite.

10) Eat 5 to 6 Small Meals Daily - Spreading food intake improves nutrient absorption, minimizes blood sugar fluctuations, and decreases fat-storing hormones and enzymes.

Results: The precise combination of ingredients in Yogic Slim along with a mind-body focus precisely addresses the concerns of men and women that suffer from excess weight and reduced vitality!
