You can be healthy at almost any weight. So, try to strive for good health rather than a specific weight on the scale. First, work with a trained health care practitioner who can perform some blood tests to ensure your organ systems are in balance and help you develop a good wellness program for you.
Often, endocrine imbalances can make it more difficult to lose weight, as can certain aspects of family history and your own lifestyle. Understanding some of these issues will enable you to make wiser food choices. The most "natural treatment" for being overweight is diet and excercise.
Avoid your food sensitivities, eat at least three balanced meals daily, manage your portion sizes (and to some degree, calories), drink 1/2 your body weight in ounces of pure/filtered water daily and try to get 10,000 steps daily of (preferably) outdoor excercise. Most people want a "quick fix" because this approach takes work. However, making healthier choices will enable you to create good health for a lifetime vs. simply the time you are focused on losing weight. To my knowledge, there is "no magic pill" or food for weight loss --regardless of what "late night TV" sayss" However, if you have blood sugar imbalances, chromium and gymnema are often helpful to manage cravingss Supplements such as B-vitamins and fish oil can help support a healthy stress responsee High protein powders can provide lower calorie nutrients easily and probiotics can help digestion/absorptionn http://wwwwcountrydocccom Drr Karen Benton, Naturopathic Physician >
