3 Simple Reasons why it is easier to gain than to lose weight

... incorporate some elements of exercise in our living room

An increasing number of people majority finds it easier to gain than to lose weight. Besides other obvious factors like age, gender, and disease conditions, we have identified 3 important factors that can easily be corrected. Since our program includes home visits (not mandatory), we have been able to identify 3 simple facts that make it difficult for some of our clients to stay on the right track.  We are gladly sharing them with you here: 1. Our living rooms have become a place where we spend a lot of time but very little energy (Calories). We have nice couches, multiple TV's (Pretty and skinny flat screens), and the elephant in the roon, the internet. Imagine how the living room in the 50's looked like.  The children would be considered ill if they spent a full hour sitting in those rooms. Although we cannot go back to the healthier living room of the past, we can incorporate some elements of exercise in our living room (small compact exercise machines can fit in the decor), since that's where we spend most of our daytime, we are more likely to use them when they are right there with us in the living room. Of course it may look tacky ... it may even look very tacky, but the benefit outweighs (wrong choice of word) any anguish that you may have for not having a perfect looking living room.

You have a family of 2, but you cook like dinner time is church Potluck

2. You have a family of 2, but you cook like dinner time is church Potluck Many of our clients are foreigners from Africa, Haiti, Jamaica etc ... an almost common problem we have been able to pinpoint is that they are used to having big families back home and COOKING is such a vibrant thing of their culture. They continue cooking for large groups when in fact often they are only a family of 2 or 3. With so much good food around all the time, no wonder it is so difficult to resist overfeeding oneself. This phenomenon of cooking way too much food than what we can reasonably consume may also be happening to divorced or separated people. Cooking as if the partner was still there maybe a sign that we unconsciously long for reunification or at least filling the void with someone else.

Being overweight is ultimately a STORAGE problem

3. Am I in the GROCERY store? Grocery stores are called grocery stores for a good reason, they are the place in the neighborhood where food is stored. However, it often happens that we buy so much food that turn our own homes into small grocery stores.  Being overweight is ultimately a STORAGE problem. We have decided "mostly unconsciously" to store food in our own place. The ultimate place being our own body. Clean house "help!".
