In today’s world where lifestyles are becoming increasingly hectic and sedentary the twin problems of obesity and overweight have become very common. However there has also been a commensurate increase in people’s desire to stay fit and look good. There are many reasons why people are overweight – overeating, lack of exercise, slow metabolism and sedentary lifestyles being the most common ones.

The simplest and most effective two point program to lose weight is regular exercise and balanced diet. With this the consumption of water is also of vital importance. Drinking eight glasses of water per day is the minimum requirement and it is beneficial to drink water the moment a person wakes up in the morning. Soft drinks contain empty calories and should not be used as a substitute for water. Junk food should be avoided at all costs and a healthy and balanced diet should be consumed regularly. Breakfast should be preferably organic in nature like apples, bananas, plain yogurt, tomatoes, carrots, peppers, raw honey, wild smoked honey and the like. Eating 5 % to 10 % less than the normal quantity is very useful and so is the fact that dinner should be taken 4 – 5 hours before going to sleep. Boredom can cause a person to overeat and so people wanting to lose weight have to keep busy. Fat burning supplements are not very helpful and should be avoided. Also, exercising is the most important aspect. Morning walks – not power walks or strenuous runs – are very beneficial, and an hour of non stop walking activity will show effects only in a couple of days.
