How Slimming Down Can Add More Cash in Your Wallets
Are you unhappy with your current weight but aren't "motivated" enough to do something about it? Well then... have I got an incentive for you! Did you know that your wealth can increase dramatically as your weight goes down? This seemingly incredible link between your weight and your wealth was revealed in a study published in the Economics and Human Biology journal by Jay Zagorsky, author of the study and a research scientist at Ohio State University's Center for Human Resource Research. But before you get too excited, it's important to know that losing a little weight here and there won't make a significant difference to your wealth. If you really want to impact your wealth, you have to move from overweight or obese into the normal range. A drop of 5 or 10 pounds is simply not enough. "The typical person who loses or gains a few pounds had almost no change in wealth, but those who lost or gained large amounts of weight had a more dramatic change," Zagorsky said. For example, white women who dropped their body mass index score (BMI) by 10 points saw a wealth increase of $11,880. It's also interesting to note that a person's net worth tends to reach a peak when the weight is in the normal range. Coincidence? Of course, nobody can say for sure from the study whether a person's wealth affects obesity, or whether obesity affects wealth. However, the researchers also reviewed the people in the study who had a sudden increase in their wealth after receiving inheritances, and found no significant differences in their BMI scores in the following years. This seems to suggest that wealth doesn't affect weight. And from a "gut feel" perspective, it seems intuitive that it's probably weight that affects wealth. Unfortunate as it is, obese women do tend to get discriminated against at work, and bring home a lower salary than their non-obese colleagues. Plus, there are a number of health problems associated with obesity, and these obese women will have to fork out more money to tend to these problems. In short, obese people make less, and spend more unnecessarily. With a double whammy like this, it's no wonder obese people will have more problems when it comes to increasing their wealth! So, now that you've got a good incentive in front of you, please go and take immediate action to shed those unwanted weight... NOW. Remember, as you make yourself slimmer, your wallet will grow fatter! Copyright 2005 Tracy Lee About The Author Tracy Lee is the owner of the "Weight Loss for Women Over 40" site.

The Most Effective Fat Burning And Muscle Building Workout That Takes Just 13 Minutes Most people who want to burn off some excess pounds and tighten and tone their bodies simply don't have 2 hours each day to spend in the gym performing the bodybuilding style workouts that most "fitness experts" recommend. Simple Weight Loss Plan The math is pretty simple. One pound of fat equals 3500 calories. Want to lose a pound a week? Then you need to consume 3500 calories less per week than you use. That's about 500 calories a day. By cutting out 500 calories a day from your normal daily diet, while keeping your activity level the same, you can lose approximately one pound a week. Know How Many Calories To Cut For Permanent Weight Loss It is not recommended to lose more than 1 pound per week for healthily weight loss. The reason for this has do to with the issues which quick and drastic weight loss can have on your body's metabolism and muscle mass. When you lose a lot of weight quickly, you really need to strictly monitor where this weight is coming from. Is it water weight, body fat or muscle mass? The majority of the time, it unfortunately comes from lean muscle mass and this is exactly what will cause serious issues with your metabolism. Muscle is your body's most potent and active tissue for burning calories and body fat. Its basically your body's "furnace" which you want to always keep burning hot. When someone loses a lot of weight, which usually comes from crash dieting or some other unhealthy way of dropping the weight, the body's lean muscle mass is cannibalized and you lose some of your biggest "power" tissue for keeping a lean body. 7 Ways to Stop Nighttime Snacking in Front of the TV Stop Being Influenced by Food Ads on TV Too Many Calories How many calories do you need?
