More people than ever are overweight today. Some estimates have sixty percent of us overweight or obese. While your definition may vary, you likely would like to lose a few pounds.

Almost everyone wants to lose at least a little bit of weight. In fact, at some point or another we have all looked in dismay at the number on the scale.

Weight Loss is tough more than enough without adding anymore negativity into it. The term diet must be removed from our vocabularies and substituted for Lifestyle Change! Thus how should we do it?

Protein, fiber, antioxidants, vitamin C, growth hormones, maltodextrin, high fructose corn syrup??? Ok this list started off sounding great right? Well, if you are one of those people who believes the tried and true statement of “you are what you eat”, don’t you think we should know WHAT we are eating? If what we put in our bodies truly results in us becoming it, we should be thinking about what we are consuming. The truth of the matter is, we think that what we are consuming is what we want to be, but have you looked close enough to really know the ingredients and makeup of your food?

Are you overweight? Do you struggle when you button your pants every morning? Don’t worry, you are in good company. Most of adult Americans today are overweight, or have some kind of weight problem.
