Our ancestors were the equivalent to olympic athletes in their health.They lived in a world of survival of the fittest. If they did not fight to survive, they would be somebody else’s food.Genetically, our bodies have not changed much since those times. We’ve had to evolve mechanisms that would keep us alive during times of famine.

Hunter/gatherers during this time endured long periods of starvation.It was rare that they had enough food.To combat this,our bodies have more systems that allow us to gain weight than they do for us tolos e weight.

Through hormonal changes in our body,our ancestors survived by gaining and storing weight to survive periodic famines.In society today, this just sounds ridiculous because we have plenty of food.

On the contrary, our food supply is completely devoid of nutrients.

Nowadays, our food is calorie rich and nutrient poor. We are literally in a famine amidst plenty.

We are literally poisoning our bodies by not exercising, poor food choices and mental stress. Foods such as high fructose corn syrup, sucrose, table salt, boxed and canned goods all contribute to destroying your health and your bikini body.

Remember: Our ancestors were literally built like Olympic athletes. Not because they wanted to be, but because they had to survive and in the wild, survival of the fittest prevails.

As we have adapted, our bodies created systems to get us through hard times such as droughts and even bad eye sight!This is why it is important to have a holistic weight loss program. This type of program is designed to give you nutrient dense foods that have a very low calorie value.

During our hunter/gatherer times, our sweets were fruits and honey. They were all natural and not in a concentrated form like the sugar and “fake” honey that we have now.

Nowadays, our stress comes from money problems, relationship problems, and work stress. It isn’t for our survival. The problem lies in the fact that our bodies don’t differentiate between mental and physical stress.

All forms of stress overcome our innate drive to shed fat.Mentally, we get discouraged and this causes us to give into temptation.When you add these events together, many of our dietary choices are shifted from biological necessities to psychological reactions.

Have you heard about the story that if you lose a large amount of weight that you must have excess loose skin left? While there is some truth to this as many people do have loose skin after losing weight, it is not true that this has to be the case for you. You can avoid loose skin if you lose weight in the correct way.

An obvious example of this are the contestants on popular TV program The Biggest Loser. Many of these people lose a massive amount of weight and yet they still look stunning at the end. It’s not because they are losing weight slower. No, indeed they are losing weight much faster than most people do. What is their secret? Exercise.

People who lose weight by starving themselves without adding any exercise to their life are the people who end up with a lot of unsightly excess skin which they usually deal with using plastic surgery (which is not a very good solution.)

You don’t need to go on The Biggest Loser to lose weight the right way, you just need to start a program which helps you to lose weight the right way. If you read this free report on avoiding loose skin you will learn exactly what you should do to lose weight while avoiding loose skin.

There are great articles on the internet which will give you the information that you must know about how to avoid loose skin. Two good articles on loose skin: (1) avoiding loose skin from pregnancy (2) loose skin and weight loss.

Now what you really need to do is stop making excuses and start taking action. Some people use the fear of loose skin to keep them from doing what they have to do. They think “well I won’t look good anyway, even if I lost weight, so what’s the point?” Well first of all you should lose weight for reasons other than vanity. Being overweight is a big health risk. Secondly, you will look far better without the extra fat and as I’ve already mentioned, you can avoid loose skin.

A lack of planning can present some difficulties when it comes to sticking to your weight loss diet plan. Natural weight loss requires eating a good diet that supports health as well as promotes weight loss. Unfortunately, because of a failure to plan what you are going to eat at each meal, it is easy to fall into the habit of grabbing whatever, whenever, resulting in poor eating choices.
