There are a lot of philosophies on weight loss and this is not a negative. A philosophy is by definition: the rational investigation of truths and principles and/or the critical study of the basic principles and concepts of a particular branch of knowledge, especially with a view to improving.
Remembering that definition - weight loss programs that are designed to help you lose weight are a philosophy. The author has made a discovery and has now found an applicable method of weight losing that can help you lose weight, enhance or improve your present condition with the results you've been looking for.
I am an author here on EzineArticles, and I too have a "philosophy." I have discovered that Weight Loss is "not" a diet. It's "not" a food plan and it is "not" a set of rules that need to be followed to the letter. Two rudimentary concepts need to be understood before you can start to lose weight. The concepts are Knowledge and Understanding. Knowledge needs to be gathered and with understanding you need application. To apply knowledge however, you need to understand the "WHY." Why is your condition the way that it is. Why when you eat "light" for some reason, you still can't shed the weight. Why am I'm reluctant to go out with my friends to dinner or to brunch? And, why am I always feeling so guilty when I bring the fork to my mouth or sip on a Coke? The short answer would be lack of understanding.
Calories are the reasons why. I could stop right here and you'll have all the information you need to lose weight. You need to understand the phenomena that circumferences Calories. Calories are our existence. We are everything and we are nothing without them. Calories in versus calories out are the key to weight issues. There are laws of nature, and of man, whereby if you break them there will be consequences. The same would be true with Calories. An example of each: You step off your porch the law of gravity will bring you down; You steal the law of man says you'll go to jail. The law governing Calories in relation to weight loss is similar, it states that "you must consume fewer calories than your body needs and/or your body must burn more calories than it takes in or the end result will be a weight issue plus or minus.
What is a Calorie? In a word, calorie is "energy" aka fuel. Should you look this up the definition will define for you a "Thermodynamic" breakdown of the calorie, but its conclusion will be understood as Energy. Calories are the energy-producing potential of food.
Weight gain derives from storing more energy (Calories) than your body burns up. This is one reason why exercise is so important. This is also what makes the calorie count of a food a major player in determining whether it helps you with weight loss, with weight gain, or just simply freezes you where you stand. The understanding of Calories and what it does to the human body is monumental to someone who can't understand the "Why."
Diverting for a moment your attention towards food ingredients to assist you with the "why" here's an interesting observation. Monitoring sodium, sugar and fat content might be a prerequisite of an adopted weight loss program (which is not a bad thing to do) but this surveying is often misleading and will have little effect on your weight condition.
Case and point:
Many low-fat foods low on sugar, low on sodium are high in calories. The reciprocal of that is many foods with high measures of sugar and sodium have low caloric ingredients. The pickle for example; high in sodium content but almost zero calories. On the other side of that coin take the tootsie roll, almost pure sugar but it contains about 50 calories. Although we all know that fat has a high caloric association, a handful of olives, which contain a good dose of fat, actually provides you with nutrients your body needs essentially fatty acids but has a very low calorie count.
Survey the fat, sugar, and sodium content of a food item if you will but also pay close attention to the Calorie count as this is the main ingredient to your success in weight control. Calorie reduction is the "Key" to losing weight. Exercise is the "Spare Key" to losing weight. If you eat with this in mind no matter what or how much you eat, you'll gain control over your weight because you've now come into the understanding of the "why" and can intelligently and appropriately off set the difference.
