The food and water economics of the body or how to lose weight and stay healthier by being strategic as well as tactical in your approach to achieving sufficient nourishment and exercise for health.

Part One ----

This blog describes for free an amazing proven way to lose weight and have a healthy body beautiful.

* The environment of weight gain and loss:

People are continually being bombarded with advertising firms and unscrupulous individuals proclaiming new ways to lose pounds and achieve a healthier self. You can do it! 

You don't have to be a genius to lose weight, but you have to realise a number of crucial facts.  Weight loss is about self discipline and taking control of your impulses. It is never automatic and almost always requires will power. It requires information about what foods are helpful for your body and how much exercise you should do daily.

If you are continuously overweight, you are probably in an environment that has encouraged and stimulated inappropriate habits as regards eating and exercise. It's not so much about you as about the way you respond to stimuli in your surroundings. These stimuli are ruthless in the way they control your appetites for food and exercise. 

Economics enters the way you think about food and exercise because of the trade off outside stimuli present to your reasoning.  You are persuaded that eating food is pleasurable as well as necessary. In contrast, you are persuaded that exercising is not pleasant nor very necessary. 

* The normal eating and exercise equation:

Eating food has a positive connotation while exercise has a negative connotation. Together, they determine whether you will gain weight. 

Eating + exercise => weight gain or loss.

If eating > exercise then weight gain is positive. You are not doing enough exercise.

If eating < exercise then weight gain is negative. You are doing more than enough exercise.

If eating = exercise then weight gain is zero. You are in balance.

What is important is to have an understanding of how much exercise your body normally needs given the amount of food that you normally eat. If you are gaining weight or having difficulty losing weight, you need to research your environment for the stimuli that encourage you to eat. 

* The stimuli to eat or exercise:

Most often stimuli to eat are very subtle, but the most common ones are associated with the availability of food and the amount of effort that it requires for you to eat.  Will power is your weapon to reduce the stimuli to eat. Will power is less effective in the presence of food. Will power is strongest in the presence of stimuli to exercise. To be effective in your rebalancing of the eating exercise equation, there is a need to work on balancing the stimuli. 

This most often means reducing the stimuli towards eating while increasing the stimuli for exercise. 

You need to build an environment and situation around you that encourages exercise over eating. Build habits around exercise. Those habits of eating should not take priority. Stay away or reduce association with people who see eating as a priority and join more with people who want to get out and do active things away from food stimuli. 

If your crowd wants to eat more than exercise, then you are in the wrong crowd and should try to alter the mix of your friends to be more with lean, healthy and active people and less with eaters.

Decline invitations to eat but accept invitations to do activities that are remote from food.

For example, put food away from sight and keep yourself away from food. Bring stimuli to exercise closer to you. 

In social arrangements, you need to be with people who stimulate you to exercise rather than eat. Engage in activities that involve active people and your being more active!

Sketches from scratches is a provocative blogspot that has grown out of the Wuh Lax experience. It is eclectic, which means that it might consider just about anything from the simple to the extremely difficult. A scratch can be something that is troubling me or a short line on paper. From a scratch comes a verbal sketch or image sketch of the issue or subject. Other sites have other stuff that should really be of interest to the broad reader. I try to develop themes, but variety often comes before depth. ... more!
