Weight Loss

Many diet or weight loss plans can be found Google, but finding the one that's right for you may be a problem. Why? Because every one is not made the same, and some people have certain illnesses that may require a different approach to weight loss.

The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) is a weight loss plan recommended to many people diagnoses with hypertension (high blood pressure) or pre-hypertension by their physicians. The DASH diet eating plan has been proven to lower blood pressure in studies sponsored by the National Institutes of Health. [1]

The DASH diet provides more than the traditional low salt or low sodium diet to reduce blood pressure. It is based on an eating plan rich in fruits and vegetables, and low-fat or non-fat dairy (sounds like most weight loss plans to me).

Like most pans, losing weight will not happen if you do not take that first step. In my opinion, the first step towards losing weight can be as simple as avoiding snacks, you know, the ones caused by those cravings for sweets or salt.

When you randomly snack during the day by grabbing a handful of chips, nuts or cookies, you may think that as long as the portions are small that it won't affect your weight. What you need to know is, the calories in those snack foods can add up very quickly.

Try this simple routine to help you stop snacking; keep a food journal or diary. This will show you just how many calories you are eating each day. It may be a shock at first, but if you continue this process, you'll become cognizant of the added daily calories, and what they are doing to you weight.

Researchers discovered that patients who were part of a DASH study lost more than double the weight when they recorded their food choices in a diary. I'm sure you will see the same results, as long as you stick with it. Remember, it's the awareness factor that leads to action, and action leads to weight loss.

To decrease your weight even faster, you may want to try TriVita's Leanology® three step system. You can drink the shakes for breakfast and lunch, and if you have a craving to snack, you can eat the Leanology® Tasty Chews. They are the perfect, low calorie, deliciously satisfying snack that helps you lose weight in two crucial ways, as a snack substitute and as an an appetite controller.

And since we're talking about Leanology®, the third part includes the unique fat-burning capsules that will help you lose weight the most desirable way - by burning up your body's excess fat. So not only will the pounds drop off, but your body will be reshaped, too.

Why not make this plan work for you? Simply record all meals, snacks and drinks and add up your daily totals, and engage in Leanology's three step weight loss system. It's wort trying something, because doing the same thing and expecting different results may just lead to additional stress, and possibly hypertension.
