Most obese people want to lose weight and cure their obesity. The problem often is to identify the causes for obesity exactly – and the knowledge on how to approach it. For this reason I have created this article especially for obese people. In this guide we keep the focus on the two major causes for obesity – a lack of physical activity and the wrong habit of eating. I will provide you with clear and easy to follow recommendations. Acting on this guide enables you to lose weight and reduce obesity.

Before we dive into the two main causes for obesity, let us talk about the other causes, so that we have them out of the way. Besides the major causes mentioned in the introduction there are a few other causes as well: age, gender and genes. The point of matter is that we can not influence these causes positively. For this reason we have to focus on the two main causes.

A lack of physical activity is one of the main causes for obesity. Once you haven’t practiced any exercise for several months or even years it becomes more and more difficult. The trick is to make a long term action plan. Make the decision to seriously lose weight and write a To-Do list. Start with 2 workouts per week for 15 to 20 minutes without a pause. Increase the duration of your workout every week by 2 minutes until you are performing 45 minutes at a stretch. At the same time you have to increase the quantity of workouts every week by one until you are performing at least 5 workouts per week. Here are some great options: Power Walking, Incline Walking, Rollerblading, Jogging, working out on a Climbing Machine or doing Circuit Training with weights.

Another plausible cause for obesity is the wrong eating habit. The only way to cure obesity is to change your habit of eating permanently. It’s a waste of time to follow a diet for 6 weeks and than come back to the old eating habit. It doesn’t work. In order to actually lose weight you have to avoid high caloric products at all. High caloric products contain a lot of simple sugar and fat. Here are some bad examples: crackers, candies, sweets and biscuits, jam, cakes, pastries, baked goods, cookies, snack foods, fried foods, salad dressings and many processed foods. I highly recommend that you get into reading the ingredients of the food packages before you buy any food. Split your meals into 5 smaller portions per day. This will help you to stimulate your metabolic rate as well. Eat healthy low caloric products and drink a lot of water – at least 3 to 4 liters per day.

Now that you have read this guide you probably control the causes for obesity in a new way. Focusing on the two main causes (wrong habit of eating and lack of physical activity) allows you to tackle the problem in the right way. Make a long term action plan and implement the recommendations provided in this article. There is, of course, more useful information about how to control obesity; e.g. information about diet and nutrition. By putting the information provided in this guide into practice, though, you will be able to lose weight and reduce obesity.
