I Have Got Lose a Few Pounds!

"I have GOT to lose a few pounds!" How many people, and how many times have you heard that?  Better yet, how many times have you made the same proclamation?

Well, there's good news.  You absolutely can lose a few pounds... and quickly.  But there's no magic pill, or even a secret magic formula. It's the same as it always has been: eat better, exercise, drink water, etc., etc., etc.

So let's be real for a moment and admit that it sounds simple, yet is actually harder than we imagined because (1) we don't put forth the effort and (2) our body continues to crave the bad stuff.

For example:  Too many sweets feed a fungus called candida. It forms yeast in an over abundance. And what does your body need to feed the yeast and grow the candida?  More sugar... Thus the "Sweet Tooth" and more calories.

So here's a suggestion to losing a few pounds quickly and in a healthy way:
(1)  Greatly reduce the carbohydrate and sugar intake.  Try no soft drinks and reduce sugar from your diet this week.
(2) Greatly reduce salt intake. Sodium intake causes bloating and water weight gain.
(3) Walk, bike, or treadmill at least twice this week.
(4)  Drink more water
Start with 2-4 servings a day and gradually increase to 6-8.

Try these simple steps with a renewed commitment and see if you don't lose a few pounds.

Get Fit. Stay Fit.
