You Have To Be Healthy To Lose Weight
You will often hear how you have to lose weight so that you can be healthy. You've probably been led to believe that losing weight will cure all of your health issues. In this article we are going to look at principle # 3 of "The 7 Principles of Fat Burning" and the fact that you have to be healthy to lose weight.
To get healthy you need to lose weight, you've heard over and over. People tell you this is because obesity is a health risk that causes heart disease, diabetes, arthritis and stroke. It is easy to believe this to be the case. Fat directly causes weight problems, doesn't it? Think again...
This is actually false.
It turns out that the fact is just the opposite of what we have been told over and over again. In order to lose weight you must FIRST become healthy. It is because you are unhealthy in some region of your body that you are unable to burn fat efficiently. All types of diseases are the result of having an unhealthy body. I don't know who started this all but somehow someone has made obesity the big bad primary cause or a disease. The reality is that obesity is simply the result of bad health, not the cause.
I'm certain that many of you have been struggling with obesity. If you are overweight it's the result of unhealthy hormones. I don't care what overweight people say, you can not be fat and healthy at the same time. I'll repeat, you cannot be healthy if you're fat.
Your body can not or will not release fat until it is at a certain level of health. You should not be surprised to learn why your body is holding on to fat so dearly if you understand the purpose of fat.
The reason and purpose of fat is as a survival mechanism. Until the source of stress has been removed - the threat to survival - your body will not let go of the fat. This means that the body is not going to let go of fat until the body is healthy.
Trying to lose weight with diet, exercise, cutting calories, etc. without first finding out the source of the problem is not the best way to approach weight loss. When you start with the wrong goal - weight loss - it becomes more difficult to lose weight and get healthy. The first goal needs to be creating healthy glands and hormones. After you get healthy you can then lose weight.
The single most important thing to keep in mind is that your current weight is a symptom of poor health, not the cause. If you can remember this you'll be able to focus your energies on correcting the cause. You'll be able to finally get a healthy body now that the symptoms of weight gain are no longer a problem.
Learn about the Body Type Diet if you'd like to regain your health and lose weight. But Remember: It's not "lose weight to be healthy", it's "get healthy to lose weight"
