Lets face it, who doesnt want to lose weight the fastest way possible? I know I do, but not all weight is created equal in my opinion. There are many ways you can lower the number on the scale in a short amount of time, but the quick fixes usually dont last. The lower number on a scale doesnt necessarily relate to a persons health, but it can be a good factor to look at if our health isnt the best. Obesity has been becoming a problem for a long time in the US. These numbers arent for the faint of heart.
Obesity in America
As of 2020, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that 40.3% of adults in the United States were obese. Obesity is a major public health issue, causing increased risk of a variety of chronic diseases, including heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and certain types of cancer.
The CDC also reported that some populations are more disproportionately affected by obesity than others. For example, Hispanic adults have the highest obesity rate (47.0%) compared to non-Hispanic white (37.9%), non-Hispanic Asian (22.1%), and non-Hispanic black (43.8%) adults. Additionally, obesity rates are higher among those with lower incomes, with the highest rate among adults with incomes at or below the poverty level (43.2%).
Furthermore, the CDC reported that the prevalence of obesity among children and adolescents aged 2-19 years has more than tripled since the 1970s, from 5.0% to 18.5%. In addition, the prevalence of severe obesity among children and adolescents has quadrupled since 1999-2000.
These statistics underscore the importance of taking action to reduce the prevalence of obesity in the United States. Strategies to reduce obesity include increasing access to healthy and affordable food and educating people on what is actually a healthy diet.
Diet? I HATE diets…
I hope I can change your mind on dieting. For me, its siimply a matter of mindset. Diet isnt a thing I need to suffer through to lose weight. Your diet is simply what you decide to eat every day.
The carnivore diet is a diet that consists only of animal-based products such as meat, eggs, and fish. It is a popular diet for those looking to lose weight and improve their health. But why is the carnivore diet so successful for weight loss?
First and foremost, the carnivore diet is a low-carb diet. By eliminating carbs, you will naturally reduce your caloric intake, which will lead to weight loss. Additionally, protein-rich foods like meat, eggs, and fish are more filling than carbs, so you will feel fuller after eating fewer calories.
The carnivore diet is also an excellent source of healthy fats, which are essential for proper weight management. Healthy fats can help to regulate hunger hormones and reduce your appetite, which will further aid in weight loss.
The carnivore diet can also help to reduce inflammation, which can be a major cause of weight gain. Foods like red meat, eggs, and fish contain anti-inflammatory compounds, which can help to reduce inflammation and promote a healthy weight.
Finally, the carnivore diet is simple and easy to follow. There are no complicated rules, and you don’t have to count calories or measure portions. You simply eat animal-based products and limit or rid any plant based products. The majority of my diet is ground beef, eggs, cheese, bacon, and some fruit.
Cravings are more habitual than physical…
My hunger cravings used to be so strong that my mind began to think I NEEDED to eat or I couldnt get through my day. Thats a lie the cravings were telling my brain, that is why I love the carnivore diet so much. It kills my cravings and heres why….
The science behind why protein and healthy fats can help to curb hunger and cravings is based on the action of certain hormones in the body. These hormones, known as satiety hormones, are released in response to eating certain types of food, and they play an important role in regulating hunger and appetite.
When the body is presented with protein and healthy fats, it releases a hormone called cholecystokinin (CCK). CCK is responsible for sending a signal to the brain to let it know that the stomach is full. This helps to reduce hunger and cravings, as the body no longer needs to search for food.
Additionally, protein and healthy fats also help to increase the production of another hormone, called peptide YY (PYY). PYY is released in response to eating and helps to reduce hunger. This is because it acts as a signal to the brain, letting it know that the body is receiving enough sustenance and that there is no need to search for more food.
In short, protein and healthy fats can help to reduce hunger and cravings by activating the hormones CCK and PYY. These hormones are responsible for sending signals to the brain to let it know that the body
