Weight Loss Tips and Information.

“proper diet”. “proper amounts of exercise”. Even pets these days are on diets! (I have a friend who’s constantly worrying over the weight of one of her dogs, even though humans and dogs have eaten off the same plate throughout history).

As humans evolved, so did our food intake, not only with regards to what we ate but how we ate. The potato didn’t arrive on the food scene for half the planet till after the 1800’s. “Hoodia” is a derivation of a plant known to a very small, select few up till recently – now it’s gone from a desert plant used by the people to stave off hunger for long famines to a weight-loss product.

Many people prefer to try the quick fix of a fad diet instead of making the effort to reduce their weight through long term changes in their eating and exercise habits.

We simply don’t eat the same food or exercise the same way, and even if we do, our body’s don’t react the same way as others.
