Weight Loss Information

By: Tim | Posted: 28th June 2009

Losing weight isn't as easy as many people think it is. I love when someone that has no trouble with eating or has a weight problem, puts down those that do. I have heard many times by these people saying; "Just push the plate away", or "just don't eat so much." These people have no idea what it takes to lose weight, and how could they? They never had to deal with weight issues.

I have to deal with weight issues everyday and had to do it for my entire life, so I understand what you're dealing with. You need to learn how to eat properly. Learn what foods are going to help your diet and what foods are going to hurt that diet. For instance a common misconception is diet drinks; the saccharin used as the sweetener has been shown to increase body fat. It's said your better-off drinking regular sugar sweetened drinks then diet drinks. So if you're going to have a soda a day it should be the regular not a diet soda.

Another item that should be avoided while dieting is caffeine because it increases appetite, stress, and food cravings. All three of these side effects of caffeine are the worst effects to have while dieting. They just defeat the purpose of a diet. Also if you're overweight caffeine also hinders the way your body deals with insulin in your blood, and runs you at a higher risk for diabetes.
