Losing Weight Part One

Losing weight is one of the surest ways to help cure sleep apnea while obesity (patients with a BMI of 30 or over) is one of the largest predictors of the condition. This should be just one thing on a long list of reasons to lose weight, but how do you go about it?
First of all it’s important to consider that ‘fad’ diets often don’t work. They trigger a ‘famine’ mode in the body, slowing the metabolism and encouraging food to be stored as fat in case no more comes along. At the same time they deprive the body of important nutrients and it’s important to remember that everything we eat we eat for a reason. Apart from anything else fad diets are simply impractical, hard to stick to and fairly anti-social.
So how do you go about losing weight? Well the secret is to include everything in your diet that you normally would (even fat plays important roles) but to consume it in smaller quantities. One quick trick is simply to never completely clear a plate and refuse to go for seconds. While you shouldn’t be cutting any food group out of your diet entirely however it is important to be eating them in the right quantities and ratios.
