Obesity and Weight Loss - Muscle and the importance of low body fat!
 

Today you have a good chance of getting diabetes or becoming obese or both. And if you do, then chances are you will be in for a long life filled with pain, discomfort and little quality in your life. However, it does not have to come to that.

Hi, my name is Greg Ryan. I am a high profile fitness expert. With thousands of weight loss success stories under my belt, I am here to encourage you to start exercising to lower your body fat levels.

If you are reading this, you already know you have a problem. You just need to know how to fix it and where to go for help. How do you fix obesity?

First, obesity means, your total body weight is at least thirty percent fat. When this happens, everything starts shutting down. Two things must occur in order for this not to get worse; lose fat and gain muscle.

Lose Fat: Through exercise and eating better.

Gain Muscle: Through weight training and weight bearing cardiovascular exercising.

One muscle cell burns off seven times the amount of one fat cell. So do your math. The more muscle tissue you have the more calories you will burn, even by just sitting. There is no easy way around this, you are going to have to get off your butt, or there is a good chance of something bad happening to you and your health. Incorporating, diet, exercise and movement in your life is really your only healthy choice. Do you need some help? If so, that's ok. There are those here like myself that really care about you and are not out to make a quick buck with some pie in the sky pill.

While my approach to weight loss is the road less traveled in is the one that will most likely get you to your destination. America has an obesity and diabetes crisis because of your approach to it, not the numbers they supply on your charts. Here are five points to remember:

Determine HOW you are motivated

Determine the REASONS behind the unwanted behaviors.

Develop a great support system

Eat for fuel not for taste

Keep being active.

I truly am asking you and almost begging you to follow these points. If you don't you are really asking for trouble soon down the road. I will help you if you let me. Let me prove it to you.
