So, finally let me introduce the woman behind the scenes, so you guys can get a real example of everything we have talked about. My mother always taught me to practice what I preach, and in this instance, my eating habits, metabolism, and exercise practices are right on point. Before we discus me, let me release the disclaimer that sometimes weight gain isn’t as controllable as you may think. A lot of weight loss and gain has to do with genetics, and heredity.
Sometimes when you try excessive weight loss and you don’t see immediate results it could have to do with your genetics. Look at your parent’s and grandparent’s body design. Does obesity run in your family? Researching your family’s weight and health issue can tremendously affect how much or how little weight you will gain and lose. For example, my family has a history of women with petite waists , thick legs, and a big chest. The men in my family are all athletically built, strong shoulders, large calves, and broad chests. You put my mothers genetics and my fathers together and you get me!
Due to my athletic background from both of my parents, my frame and figure model that of my parents, but this is not to say that just because your parents are thin that you should go eating everything because you will still gain weight or vice versa. To recap the previous installments, you must always remember that balance and exercise is key. Remember that the more active you are, the faster your metabolism will be and the more calories you will burn.
You can essentially eat anything you like, but you have to remember that for each burger or carton of ice cream you eat, you must have a exercise regimen to work it back off. Always keep in mind trying to get a little of each food group in at least one meal everyday. It is unrealistic to be able to get all of them in, unless you plan ahead, but if you can get some in there, it will be sufficient. This concludes my editorial, I hope you have learned a lot about your body and food, and remember that FOOD IS YOUR FRIEND!
