We all know it’s not healthy to be overweight.  We hear it day in and day out.  But do you know that losing weight can also help you lose pain?

Inflammation is a reaction to trauma or infection. It’s not necessarily a bad thing, it’s telling us our body is hurt and needs to heal.

There’s an important ingredient to weight loss that many people don’t know about.  It’s called leptin, and it’s your body’s natural appetite suppressant.  Leptin is a hormone that plays a major role in our appetite and metabolism, and therefore our weight loss.  When your body feels it has enough stored fat, it releases leptin to send a signal to the brain to stop eating.

That spare tire many of us start sporting in our thirties isn’t just weighing us down emotionally and physically, it can be causing chronic inflammation and long term health problems as well. 

Losing weight is all about getting your life back - not just fitting into a smaller size, but feeling good and getting healthy.   If there’s one rule to follow to lose weight, it’s the elimination rule.  Eliminate the bad, and the good will replace it.  Making a commitment to start the elimination process is the first step.
