These tried and tested methods are extremely effective at promoting lasting fat loss. If you are not already using them, what’s the easiest way to begin using them?
Well, here on this website we provide you with all the free programs, tools, and information that you will need. If you have not yet read part one of metabolism for weight loss please do so by clicking on the first link below, and then return here.
Realize the following important fact: those of us who live in developed countries today do not live in an environment that helps us to boost our metabolism and achieve lasting weight loss. Everything seems to conspire against us, which is why at least two-thirds of us are too fat.
Therefore, since you are concerned about metabolism and weight gain, it is wise to improve your environment.
Improving your personal environment will make a tremendous difference in improving your odds of achieving lasting weight loss and reversing the relationship between your metabolism and weight gain.
How?
It’s simple: increase your associations with people who are exercising and eating well and decrease your associations with people who don’t.
Here’s a specific example of what you should do.
People who exercise and eat well keep educating themselves about flourishing physically. They understand, for example, that eating sugar and refined (processed) carbohydrates causes a constellation of physical and emotional problems.
They read frequently about nutrition and exercise.
Because they deliberately replace bad ideas about metabolism and weight gain with good ones, they predispose themselves to trying those good ideas.

Improve Your Habits
Avoid eating (caloric or noncaloric) sweeteners, sugars, cakes, cookies/biscuits, pasta, pizza, burgers, hot dogs, potato chips/crisps, corn chips, bread, bagels, rolls, wraps, crackers, cereals, regular soft drinks, sodas, diet sodas, donuts, pastries, pretzels, candies/toffees/sweets, ice cream, chocolates, sweet rolls, pancakes, waffles, fruit-juice blends, sweetened drinks, most salad dressings, catsup, cocktail sauce, tomato sauce, frozen dinners, and so on and on.
What’s the best way to avoid such temptations? Don’t be around them! For example, don’t allow refined (processed) foods in your own kitchen.
However, it’s not so simple. From Broadway in New York to Main Street in any small town, what do you see?
Pizza joints, bagel shops, hot dog stands, candy stores, delis, ice cream parlors, fast-food hamburger restaurants, movie theaters, malls, gas stations, ballparks, street fairs, grocery stories, pharmacies, office building and school vending machines, and even hospital gift shops all selling refined (processed) carbohydrates!
Our social environment reinforces a poor relationship between metabolism and weight gain.
However, some people don’t give in to all that temptation. Some people don’t eat impulsively. Some people plan all their meals carefully. Some people take the trouble to eat naturally.
On this free website we provide all the information that will enable you to do the same. You simply need to take time to learn. If you do, you won’t feel so overwhelmed.

Dangerous Foods
Cheap refined (processed) food is easy to purchase and consume. Cheap refined food is loaded with bad fats, salt, and especially sugar. Cheap refined food is killing us.
In the last 200 years, according to nutritionist Dr. Ann Louise Gittleman, sugar consumption has risen more than 1500%! Our bodies haven’t had time to adapt, and this nutrient-poor load of calories is causing very serious physical and emotional problems.
Stephen T. Sinatra is a board-certified cardiologist, certified nutrition specialist, and antiaging specialist. He writes, “The majority of both conventional and alternative doctors now believe that chronic silent inflammation is the root cause of disease—whether it’s cancer, coronary artery disease, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, or diabetes.”
What’s the most important cause of silent inflammation? “The hormone insulin is at the top of the list. What releases insulin? Sugar. Surges of sugar trigger surges of insulin” [from Connie Bennett and Stephen T. Sinatra, SUGAR SHOCK!, p. 22].
It seems, then, that the most important step you could take to increase your chances of being healthier would be to eliminate all sugars and other refined carbohydrates from your diet.
That may also be the single most important step you could take to achieve lasting weight loss. In addition to eating and exercising well, associate only with those who do.
It isn’t easy, but you can do it.
If you are a sugar addict, sugar addiction is an addiction you can break. It’s easier to break it if you hang around people who are not addicts, too.
This same method works for all the natural, effective ways of increasing your metabolism. If you’ll begin to think and behave like all those other people who are following dietary and exercise programs similar to the one promoted here at lasting-weight-loss, you’ll never be sorry.
If you use all the other resources provided free here at this website, you’ll soon be on your way to reversing your relation between metabolism and weight gain.
