Would you agree that knowing about the causes of obesity
could help you lose weight?
The causes are:
* Overeating
Eating too much food or eating the wrong foods. One common
trigger of overeating is emotion. Do you ever eat more
when you're down? When you're up?
* Lack of exercise
This can be caused by the nature of the job you have. For
example, many people these days have an "office job". Some
people just have a sedentary lifestyle - they sit around the
couch and don't get involved in physical activity.
* Hereditary factors
Your genes could be working against you. Some people seem
to gain weight easily, and others seem to be able to eat a lot
more without gaining weight. Genes can also control your
appetite.
This plan helps you get on the right path to losing weight.
It has a success guide that will help you control overeating,
and a nifty pedometer to track your exercise. Learn more about

My experience learning to juggle
Do you sometimes find it hard to improve a certain aspect
of your life? Or to acquire a certain skill?
When I learned to juggle 3 balls, it was relatively easy. I
received a book at Christmas about how to juggle. It came
with three balls, and I started practicing. I would say it took
about a day to get it down pat.
When I nailed it down, I thought to myself that 3 balls was a
cinch! So, I decided to go for 5 balls, which is much more difficult.
Some days, I got discouraged. It seemed like I was making
no progress at all. I decided to start tracking something
because I heard that "what you can measure, you can improve".
I tracked the number of throws I could make and continually
made higher goals for myself.
Similarly, in the world of weight loss, the idea of measuring and
tracking works as well. One important measure here is
BMI (body mass index).
BMI falls into four categories:
* Underweight: BMI < 18.5
* Normal Weight: BMI of 18.5 – 24.9
* Overweight: BMI of 25.0 – 29.9
* Obese: BMI of 30+
To find out where you fall, please go to this online BMI
calculator:

P.S. A 12-week study of people on this plan showed that
participants on average decreased from obese to overweight!
