10 Ways to Prevent Obesity …
Obesity is fast becoming one of the major issues that the world of today is facing, so much so that even children are becoming victims. I think we need to act fast and wise to become role models for the future generations so that we can rid ourselves of this problem once and for all. I also think it’s important that we learn to recognise obesity and act on it. And while there are many ways to prevent obesity, I have picked these ten ten as my top priority tips…
10. Set a good example
If you can be a good example for others to follow, then it might make it easier for you to stick to a healthier routine yourself. Kids watch the adults around them and learn by example. Eating healthy right from breakfast and exercising regularly will show them that you are serious about staying healthy and fit and they will follow suit .

9. Get rid of simple sugars
Replacing simple sugars with honey, stevia, agave nectar, or even maple syrup will help avoid obesity. The body is able to break down these types of sweeteners easily and is less likely to store them as fat. And they taste just as good so the replacement should not be difficult.

8. Switch unhealthy snacks with healthy ones
It’s a hard change to make, but snacking on some lightly buttered popcorn or some fresh cut veggies is better than a bag of greasy potato chips. Dipping carrot sticks, broccoli, or cauliflower in some fat-free ranch dressing can be a tasty treat. Low calorie snacks can cut off all those extra unwanted calories and really keep the excess weight off.

you know what.. I have a theory about the body obeying the mind. I’m sure I won’t get much support from the scientific community for this, but I’m pretty sure as well that ... See more this has some truth. I think if you genuinely think and believe that a specific exercise/program will benefit you, the results you get are much much better than you do if you don’t really believe in it. Sure this might sound too vague and improbable, but this is something i’ve noticed with me and a couple of my friends too!!
that really is a sad tale! i mean 14 sizes!! And who would’ve thought that you could get addicted to sugar. I don’t it’ll be an easy task to let go of sugars, ... See more but walking is definitely something we all should work towards. Thanks for this one honey.
I think for those people who know that they are at risk of putting on a lot of weight should keep food diaries so as to keep a track of what they are ... See more eating. And you’re right, it’s much easier to put on the weight than it is to lose it.
I have to work on eating more small meals. I usually have so much work to ... See more do I end up eating 1-2 meals. These days I try to eat a snack (healthy ones) in between.
that is actually an amazing thing.. to not be enticed by sugar. Hopefully the rest of us can work our way to being atleast half as sugar-healthy as you!
And as for smaller ... See more meals, honey you really need to take care of your health when you’re working. I’ve seen too many people (and experienced it myself too) put on weight and how, just because they’re at a desk job and their eating habits also get screwed.
