Top 10 Ways to Fail Miserably At Losing Weight

Hoodia Advice

http://www.hoodia-advice.org

Americans are getting fatter. I hate to be the one to put it so

bluntly, but the scales don't lie. 65% of adult Americans are

either overweight or obese. 25% of Americans are obese.

Now for the bad news – things are only getting worse. In 1991,

only four states had obesity rates of 15 to 19 percent and none

had obesity rates greater than 20 percent. By the year 2000, all

of the 50 states had obesity rates of 15 percent or greater, with

35 of the 50 states having obesity rates as high as 20 percent or

greater.

In 2005, obesity rates increased in 49 out of 50 States

(congratulations to Oregon for bucking the trend). The Trust for

America's Health is projecting that by 2008 a staggering 73% of

US adults could be overweight or obese. The trend is clear – we

are all getting fatter by the day.

With the rise of the Internet and our new information on demand

society you can hardly sneeze without hitting a " how to lose

weight article. " Books, articles, videos, TV specials, magazine,

blogs, web sites – they are filled with tips and tricks on how to

lose weight. Is there any celebrity left who has not published a

diet book?

So, two trends seem undeniable – we are getting fatter and we are

getting bombarded with articles on how not to get fatter. In

fact, I would argue there is a direct correlation – the more

articles written on losing weight, the more weight we gain.

While it was a reasonable assumption to think that writing

articles on how to lose weight would help people lose weight –

the numbers reveal that is not true.

Not one to ignore statistics – I now see as a health author I am

part of the obesity problem. Today I will correct that mistake.

If writing articles on how to lose weight has led to record

levels of obesity, then writing an article on how to gain weight

should lead to record levels of weight loss.

In my quest to help reverse the growing obesity rate, here are my

Top 10 Ways to Fail Miserably at Losing Weight...

1. Natural = Bad. Fully processed = good

Fruits, vegetables, whole grains – these just don't spike the

blood sugar levels. Fully processed, close to impossible to

digest foods – this is where you get to ride the insulin roller

coaster to certain weight gain.

2. If you can pronounce the ingredients in your food, you are

eating the wrong food.

Grab a snack, flip it over and read the ingredients. If you can

actually pronounce all the ingredients – put it down. You need

to concentrate on snacks that have a list of ingredients that

require a PhD in chemical engineering to decipher.

3. Drink more Eggnog

At 430 calories and 20 grams of fat per cup – Eggnog is a

guaranteed way to put on those extra pounds. Stock up around the

holidays, you want to make sure you still have eggnog left when

you are trying to put on that extra 10 pounds so your bikini

doesn't fall off you come summer time.

4. It is hard to eat while exercising – so don't exercise.

Exercise simply cuts into the few waking hours you have to eat

food – so don't do it!

5. Eat Late

Numerous studies have shown that our body has a tough time

burning the calories we eat late at night. Try to have your

largest, sugar laden meals just seconds before you doze off.

6. Super size your Super Size

Super Size meals, Double Big Gulps – all moves in the right

direction, but just not enough. A good rule of thumb – if you

don't need a dolly to carry your meal from a fast food

restaurant – you haven't super sized enough.

7. Remove all mirrors from your home

Mirrors just reflect reality – who wants this. You need to make

sure the media decides exactly how you perceive yourself.

8. Eat Out and Eat Often

Having all your meals away from home is a great way to pack on

the extra pounds. Of course, " all you can eat buffets " are the

Holy Grail of gaining weight.

9. Have all home faucets rewired to a soda keg

Drinking plenty of water can wreck havoc on your goal of NOT

losing weight. To avoid any temptation to drink water, have a

plumber hook your faucets up to a soda keg. Simply replacing 60

ounces of water with the same amount of Coke will add a nifty 700

calories to your diet.

10. Remove all positive people from your life

You are going to need to be down, depressed and negative to

succeed in failing your diet. Remember - food is your comfort,

not friends or family. Stock the cupboards with comfort food and

disconnect the phone. While other writers continue to act

irresponsibly – contributing to the obesity rate by writing

articles on how to lose weight – I want to be able to sleep at

night. If I could just get Oprah and Dr. Phil to join me in

writing articles on how not to lose weight, I am sure we could

put an end to obesity.
