So many people are overweight, and even obese these days.
First of all you don't feel good about yourself, how you look, and you're upset that you've gained so much weight.
It's not all about looks though.
The most important factor is you need to lose weight for your health first and foremost.
Overweight people are at an extremely high risk for developing type 2 diabetes.
If you don't know exactly what diabetes is, it's when your body doesn't produce insulin which attacks sugar in your blood.
You can die from a sugar overdose.
If your body doesn't produce insulin then your body can't process carbohydrates.
You can reverse the type 2 diabetes by starting an exercise program and maintaining a nutritionally based diet on a daily basis.
You also really need to give up your sweets too.
When you are overweight you tend to be at a higher risk for heart disease and having a stroke.
Being even a bit overweight can cause your triglycerides, which is the fat in your blood, to raise, but if you lose the weight, you lower that number and in turn, lower your risk of having heart disease.
Now, have you heard of sleep apnea? That's the very loud snoring that occurs when many overweight people fall asleep.
Their breathing literally stops while they are sleeping and sometimes it stops for a long time - what seems like an eternity to a spouse lying nearby.
There are even some cancers that can be contributed to being overweight and, or obese.
The best thing to do is lose the weight.
Lose weight for your health first, and the physical appearance will improve along with the improvement of your overall health.
To think that so many serious and life threatening illnesses can be prevented just by getting your weight under control, is actually a relief.
It's a great motivator to begin eating healthier, taking the safest supplements, and beginning a healthy physical regimen.
