Slow Weight Loss

Are you frustrated with slow weight loss? Of course fast weight loss is possible; but, is it healthy? Fast weight loss usually requires extraordinary efforts in diet and exercise that most people don’t even have time for. Fast weight loss often results in losing precious lean tissue and in lowering one’s metabolism and this is the least of the concerns.

I usually recommend 1.5 to 2 pounds per week as a healthy weight loss goal. The most common cliché we use is, “didn’t it take you a lot longer than this to gain the weight?’ We’re not being mean, just trying to help our clients to be realistic. You see, 1 pound of fat contains 3,500 calories. So to lose 1 pound a week, you need to burn 500 more calories than you eat each day (500 calories x 7 days = 3,500 calories).

It takes a fine balance of calories “in” (your diet) vs. calories “out” (your activity) to burn 3500 calories in a week. Any more than this and you are not losing the weight (fat) that you want to lose. Fitness professionals, a Dr., or spiritual guide usually fit in well here.

The nutshell is; this isn’t easy! Most clients get into the shape they are in from not paying attention or from giving something else their attention. Isn’t this true?

TODAY is the rest of your life. Your life is NOW every second of every minute. You were designed to breathe hard and to process foods from their natural state. NO ONE can do this for you. Be consistent without expectations. You already are perfect and you already possess the body you want (albeit with a little extra fluff)!

Begin your slow weight loss TODAY! One meal at a time one workout at a time and by all means spend the money to get a professional to help you! Investing in your health invests in the health of the universe! YOU are an expression of the ONE and when you begin to take care of yourself, it increases the health of ALL.

Have you ever heard this before? Is this crazy? If you believe in your connectivity to ALL things then this will begin to make sense to you. You don’t have to do anything else BEFORE this one thing, it’s been all backwards. This one thing: The care of YOUR Body, Mind and Spirit is the MOST important one thing there is that you can DO!

It’s slow, I know. And I know that with the help of the Holy Spirit in the name of Jesus Christ, YOU can lose the unhealthy weight you’ve been carrying around in so many ways!
