Hello Friends!!!!! I always appreciate you coming by to see me especially if you leave me a message. Thank you very much!

How Can I Tell If I'm Fit or Fat?

A person's weight is a highly individual thing but here are some guidelines. By definition, obese means being 20 percent or more above one's ideal weight. A person with an ideal weight of 120 lbs. would be obese at 144 lbs. or more. Overweight, on the other hand, means being 10% to 19%above one's ideal weight. Our hypothetical person with an ideal weight of 120 lbs. would be overweight at 132 to 143 lbs.

Seven Secrets for Fat-proofing your child

* Three meal a day at regular times with lots of whole grains, legumes, fresh fruit, and vegetables.

* Control the cupboards-get rid of tempting junk foods. Offer fruit and fresh veggies snacks.

* Drink plenty of water. Limit sodas, juices, and other beverages.

* At least an hour of active exercise daily, preferably outdoors.

* Regular, quiet study and reading times to replace the hours spent watching TV.

*Plenty of rest. Many children are chronically tired. Put them to bed early enough so they
awaken naturally, in time for a healthy breakfast.

* A wide range of interests-liberally visits, music lessons. arts and crafts, family outings, etc.

Snacks

Americans spend $10 billion a year on salted snack foods such as potato chips, pork rinds, popcorn, and the like. And we spend at least that much more on sweet snacks.

Most Americans, children or adults, have no real idea what i's like to be hungry. From birth kids are fed almost constantly. The habit carries on through the years. We have become a nation of grazers.

But "grazing" is supposed to be a good way to lose weight! You eat a litle avary hour or so, all day. That way, you don't get hungry, so you don't overeat.

Actually, the calories gained from snacks and beverages can add up to more calories than some people should eat all day!

To fight for snack attack.....,

drink a big glass of water. It has no calories and requires no digestion. It passes right through, giving everything a good rinse.

but the best way is to remember that the calories you save by shunning snacks will gradually melt off unwanted bulges. No more doubt that the bigger the snacks, the bigger the slacks.

The Youngs Couple

Overweight

Eat more natural foods. Eat less refined, engineered food. Really cut back on animal products.

Ideal Weight ( in lbs )

Women: 5 feet = 100 lbs; each inch above 5 ft = 5 lbs
Men: 5 feet = 100 lbs; each inch above 5 ft = 6 lbs


for small frame subtract 5%; for large frame add 5%

OBESITY- being 20% or more above ideal weight
OVERWEIGHT - being 10-19% above ideal weight


Risks

Every pound of excess weight shaves off one month of life.
10% overweight results in 30% increase in heart disease ( men, 35-55 years)
