Lose Weight This New Year

Studies show the average American gains 10 pounds from Thanksgiving through New Years.

Ten pounds of fat. What came on in a few weeks of partying may take you months to get rid of.

It’s why your clothing gets tighter and you have to inhale to get your pants to close.

But even people who watch their weight tend to gain weight during this period.

Why?

Because your eating is on automatic pilot. You’re at a party; you wisely avoid the cheesecakes and eggnog and reach for a handful of nuts (the healthy food you think). And you just keep eating.

Your body is programmed to store food. And as you get older, your metabolism slows.

You probably remember years ago you could probably eat ANYTHING and not gain weight. Not any more.

So you need to do something to get rid of the weight. And there’s no better time to start than right now.

But the secret to success isn’t lifting weights.

It’s not working out with another personal trainer.

It isn’t spending endless hours on a boring cardio machine.

The answer to your weight problems is thousands of years old. It’s yoga.

And now there’s scientific proof that yoga works for weight loss.

Many forms of yoga raise the heart rate into the aerobic range. But you don’t need to exert yourself to lose weight with yoga. Some studies show even gentle yoga and breathing techniques rev up your tired metabolism so you can lose weight.

A study at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle linked yoga and weight loss. This study of over 15,000 men and women showed people who did yoga lost weight while the control group gained weight.

Another study presented last year at the America Heart Association found yoga helped overweight high school students lose weight while the control group gained weight.

And the famed Dr. Dean Ornish encourages his patients to practice yoga to help ensure weight loss. When you do yoga and make it part of your lifestyle, you’ll soon discover it’s power for weight loss.

My name is Gail Pickens-Barger and I teach individual yoga lessons and group classes right here in the Golden Triangle Area.
