Healthy Weight Loss — Without Dietingstream. By disrupting our fat cell metabolism, inflammation can
confront us with a new risk related to food. This risk is unrelated to
any temptations that we might feel. It’s a risk of overeating that
stems from disruption in the control of our appetite and control of
our fat burning processes.
Whether you are trying to lose weight, maintain a recent weight
loss, or healthfully maintain the ideal weight you have been at for a
while, it pays to stay well nourished in a way that allows your
metabolismto adjust along with your new or changing weight. You
will be short-changing your metabolism if you drain too many
nutrient resources while trying to cope with chronic inflammation.
The last few years of research about inflammation and obesity make
me more convinced than ever about the value of the World’s
HealthiestFoods! I have always believed that nutrient-richness was
a key to successful weight loss. How could a person possibly go
through a challenging period of time like weight loss without needing
more nutritional support for their body’s metabolism? The answer
is: they couldn’t! But how could a person get more nutritional support
at a time when they clearly needed to eat less food? The answer nu-
trient-richness—pack more nourishment in fewer calories.
Now research studies have given us the added issue of inflammation.
They have told us that inflammation is the part of obesity that can
lead to diabetes and heart disease. Inflammation is the part of obesity
that can even lead to premature death. This new set of discoveries
about inflammation has made us realize what’s really at stake when
we are trying to lose weight. When we undertake the weight loss
process, we are not only trying to lower some numbers on the scale
or fit back into old clothes. We are also trying to prevent our bodies
from becoming metabolically out-of-balance in a potentially permanent
way that will go far beyond the presence of unwanted fat around
our middle.
