Big 3 weight loss factors

I had an odd conversation yesterday with a person who has struggled for years to lose weight and manage high blood sugar levels. I mean years. This person used the glycemic index along with glycemic load and never had great results. Now here's the odd part: in all those years the person never exercised aerobically and had never done any resistance-type exercise.


Gosh, No wonder. Exercise is a life essential, let alone a weight loss and health essential. The good news is that now that he's exercising a bit, he's seeing satisfying results. Wait til he adds in resistance training!


Yes, exercise can be boring and takes time - yadda, yadda. But it's worth the grief. Because you'll have less grief - mood swings, low energy, sadness, emotional eating if you do your aerobics, resistance, and stretching daily.


We all need the BIG 3 to lose weight, keep it off, and improve our health: eat based on the glycemic index (in short, give up the white and fluffy starches for veggies and fruit, exercise daily. And yes, DAILY is DAILY. And manage your lifestyle. Lifestyle factors include avoiding foods with major chemicals and little nutrition (such as sodas and most breakfast cereals), having good relationships, an enjoyable livelihood, happy pastimes, and such. For a super easy 5-minute strengthening, centering, and balancing routine, do the 5 Tibetan exercises daily. At http://lucybeale.com/wellness/tibetan_exercises.htm. They help get rid of double chins, flatten tummies, align your back, and feel like you've had a cup of Joe without the coffee.
