I know from my experience with being overweigh almost all my life that the foods I ate was the major problem. Once I changed my diet I automatically saw a significant amount of weight loss. However, I still continued to put the weight back on because of the portions were still to large; (I Over Ate)!
Finally when I got my portions regulated and I started a regular fitness routine, I have continued to see, not only more weight loss, but also I am keeping it off!

Our food is filled with artificial this and that and the preservatives are not the preservatives that Big Mama used. Just about everything is genetic. We have to get back to gardening on a extreme level. Whatever happened to the Heirloom Seeds I for one don't believe the so called "packaged seeds Organic but nonetheless I still buy them just incase they are. I think the food causes a lot of sluggishness whereas sometimes it perpetuates us to stop by to get a quick dinner from restaurants/cafe. That would be ok sometimes if it was a Mom/Pop restaurant this the real Soul Food minus the bag of sugar and the fatback, IJS.

Shalom Family,
Apologies I missed this!
I believe mostly diet is the cause. We can loose a lot of this weight simply by eating less. Intermittent fasting every week.

Portion also is a huge factor. We should only eat when we are hungry. Limit juices and drink more water,teas or coconut water- excellent for maintaining electrolytes!

Body weight exercise really tones/strengthens the muscles. Walking is also great. Try to get in 3-5 miles per day or more if time allows.
Not tedious and if we follow a exercise routine at least 3-4 days a week the excess weight sheds quickly.
Exercise does not always have to be excessive.

Todah to Elder Bobby and Achoti Crystal for sharing too.
Shalom Fam

Access to healthy organic foods can be a challenge. Where I live I have to drive to other parts of town to get a healthy variety of organic fruits and vegetables…Also, time can be an issues as well…Due to the pandemic I basically started cooking at home while occasionally getting takeout…Well this past year has made me realize how much time and effort it takes to cook at home, 😆 where as before all this I was probably eating out at least three times a week. I am a pescatarian so I mainly go to vegan/vegetarian restaurants. I found that even with the ones I go to they are not altogether healthy either because they put too much salt on the food. So I am learning to be more comfortable with cooking at home…Plus I like the fact that I know what is going into my food.❤️

I believe the biggest challenge is Sugar... Sugar once it goes through the digestion process attacks the Mitochondria having the effect of cyanide, but a slow kill, it corrodes the Mitochondria which are the cellular energy producers, causing the mitochondria to produce less energy, we are electrical. if nothing else, do your best to cut out sugar. Sugar causes inflammation, and inflammation triggers alot of things on a metabolic level which then manifests
as High blood pressure, Diabetes, stroke, Heart disease, etc, those are symptoms but the root problem is metabolic degeneration.
