Obesity Overload: United Kingdom Edition

First off I would love to say, "hello" to all of my readers and say that I will be doing a United Kingdom Edition, or the British version of Obesity Overload. I was wanting to stretch out my roots for the Obesity Overload blog. I know that I have readers worldwide, but I wanted to give tips on how to conquer obesity where people are at, not just in the United States of America.

It is quite difficult to work out and to stay fit in a country that endures rain on a somewhat constant basis. Have you ever wondered what has made England fatter than it has been in the past? We will give you some tips and help you guys and gals lose weight quickly and in an efficient way.

1. Lay Off the Fish and Chips
The UK is famous for it's fish and chips. It is one of the places that made fish and chips what it is today. The problem with fish and chips is that, while it is still lower fat because its fish, it still is fried in oil, battered, and served with french fries. There is a lot of fat that is incorporated with fried food, as well as, salt, and high levels of starchy fats. If you lay off of the fish and chips, you will be glad that you did!

2. Take it Easy on the Alcohol
If you take it easy on the pub drinks and the mixed drinks, you can cut a LOT of weight because you're not consuming as much sugar in the drinks. There are a lot of people that drink a lot of alcohol. By drinking alcohol, you put your body in a sugar high and the alcohol is hard on your liver and kidneys. I'm not saying that you have to cut it altogether, but at least keep it to a very low level.

3. Take Up Yoga
I know that there are a large number of people thinking, "This guy is absolutely crazy if you think that I'm going to do yoga," but there is a huge list of benefits from doing yoga, or adding it onto what you're already doing to workout. You can workout with yoga indoors and it requires no workout equipment. Yoga gives greater flexibility to athletes, helps with deeper oxygenation of muscles, and helps your body to perform more optimally. Click here for our link for our yoga blog post!

4. Taste Foods From Other Countries
By tasting food from other countries, you can gain a palette for some of the good foods that are offered around the world. I know that the palettes of many people in the UK are used to fine cuisine as it is, but if you taste recipes from other countries and look for good foods, they are indeed out there for the taking. Cheeses and wines have a lot of different flavors from different parts of the world. Check them out!

I hope that you have enjoyed this United Kingdom Edition of Obesity Overload and I hope that the British people will find a great welcoming into our community as we expand our reach and hand to you guys and gals. Implement these tips and watch your weight go down just from the sheer fact that there are several foods that are fatty, a truckload of different alcohol drinks, and get going on the working out to boost your weight loss!

If worse comes to worse, have a spot of tea with half the sugar you normally take!
