Shed Your Anxieties: Shed Pounds

To shed pounds, shed your anxieties. The advice comes from Jack LaLanne, the health and figure culturist. LaLanne says that anxiety is the cause of obesity 90 per cent of the time. Anxiety stimulates body tensions, making the system demand more food than it needs--storing excess calories in the form of fat.Revitalize Your Life: Improve Your Looks, Your Health & Your Sex Life

The nationally known expert on physical fitness has other ideas on why fatties get that way- "too many people wake up with negative thoughts" How to think down? "Start the day with a psychological high."

Metabolism has to be stepped up," LaLanne said in an interview. "The person who's about to begin dieting should wake up, pat himself on the back and think of his good points. He should think about how lucky he is to have a body and say, "Thank God, I'm born again to start a new day.'" This attitude is the "psychological high"

The next step is motivation, he said. The dieter must decide why he wants to lose weight and the reasons should be the motivation. "Then he should pray and ask God to help him keep his will power," LaLanne said. "He has to have faith and believe in something or he's lost." He added: "Dieting is like climbing a hill. You may slip and lose a step, but with faith and self-determination, you keep on going -getting a little stronger with each step".

To begin, forget about all the "weird diets that promise "tremendous weight losses overnight." Proper nutrition is essential while dieting. LaLanne offered these tips in selecting foods with a high nutritional value: "Eat natural foods in as close to their natural state as possible: try to stay away from overly processed foods: eat a lot of fish, chicken, fruits and vegetables and drink skim milk. 1970, Daily Courier
