If you need to lose weight
& lower cholesterol, do it right!
Avoid the trap
Once you've decided it's time to go on a weight loss diet, it's
panic time! The first instinct is often to get the weight off
fast! No wonder there are so many get-thin-quick schemes. But
quick weight loss is one of the first traps that lead to gaining
the weight right back.
Eat, Drink and be Merry!
Eat - If you want to keep off the weight you're working so hard
to lose, then be patient and let the right diet work for you. The
optimal rate of weight loss is no more than 1 to 2 pounds a week
for most people. The miraculous stories of rapid weight loss are
the results of water loss - big deal! Drink a glass of water and
the weight is back on!
Lowering Cholesterol and Weight Loss
Is your body weight currently above what is considered a
healthy
weight for you? If so, losing weight can lower your cholesterol
and triglyceride levels, and reduce your risk of heart disease.
But losing weight is not enough. You'll need to keep the weight
off if you want the positive health effects to last.
 Choose The Right Weight
Loss Diet
When it comes to weight loss, there is absolutely no magic in
combining certain foods, eating high protein, high fat diets, or
eating very low fat diets. All weight loss diets do the same
thing - restrict the calories that cause weight loss. But
remember, you have to keep the weight off for your cholesterol or
triglyceride levels to remain lower, and that takes a diet that
is designed to help you maintain your weight loss,
not just to simply lose weight. The right weight loss diet will
get you to your goal but at the same time, will teach you the
right way to eat to keep the weight off.
The Right Diet for Lowering Cholesterol
The recommended diet for
lowering cholesterol happens to be a great weight loss diet as
well, but you'll need to eat the right foods in the right amounts
for this to happen. Most people will not lose weight simply by
eating less fat and that's why most people need a specific diet
plan to follow. Not only that.....eating more of certain foods
that help reduce your risk of heart disease can be just as
important as eating less of the cholesterol-raising foods. It
takes a proper balance of good foods plus the right amount of
calories determined for your needs to accomplish this. Our diet
plans are designed to give you that balance, so that you'll not
only be following a diet to reach your body weight, you won't
have to change your food choices once you reach your goal weight
- you'll already be doing the right things to reduce your health
risks.
