Negative Calorie Counts Essential for Weight Loss

Many of us watch the television show “The Biggest Loser” each week, and see an amazing transformation of people losing 100+ pounds over just a few months. We see them working out like crazy, but don’t see quite as much about how they eat. I heard one of the Biggest Loser Trainers on a local radio show recently talking about this subject, and about the strict diet they keep in the house.

Concurrently, new statistics from the U.S. government out this week state 34% of American adults age 20 and up are obese. 68% of the same population are overweight. And whats worse, is that this number is seen as “relatively good news” in relation to past trends according the the director of the CDC’s division of nutrition, William Dietz. No matter what the trend numbers might say, its clearly an issue in American society, and a fixable one at that.

When attacking the issue of obesity, it is important to keep in mind just one equation. Burn more calories than you take in, and you’ll have a negative calorie count, allowing you to shed those extra and unwanted pounds.

As Americans continue to struggle with an obesity problem, a new study out in January states that overeating is now a bigger health risk than smoking tobacco. The study focuses on the speed in which one eats, and concludes that people who are overweight eat faster and consume more calories than those who do not.

For most of us, we’ve all experienced a time when we’ve had a big meal in a relaxing environment where there was still some food on the plate. Typically, we would have finished it, but because we took our time with conversation and enjoyment of the moment, we felt “full” and couldn’t finish. Thats not such a bad thing, and can actually be great for our health and weight. Although exercise is extremely important, equally as important is the amount of calories we put in to our body.

Eating slower is tough in the fast paced life for many Americans, but can go a long way in helping to shed or keep off those extra pounds. It all comes down to the simple formula, calories in minus calories out. Try to take a little more time to enjoy your food at each meal and keep a few of those unwanted calories out of your diet.
