Transform Your Life from Downward Energy Trend to Abundant Energy

Why are so many people tired, stressed and overweight? It seems the majority of people have a motivation problem; overeating and lack of exercise are implicated as the causes of the overweight condition and obesity trends.

You could say we are overweight because we eat too much and live sedentary lives and that both are causes of obesity and you would be right, at least in part, acknowledging the obvious.

But what is not so obvious, is the biggest hidden cause of the overweight condition and it is far more influential in the rise of the obesity epidemic than any other. It reinforces poor food and fitness habits to begin with, and many, even motivated people fall prey.

It’s what we call “the downward energy trend” – it’s when overwhelm, leads to exhaustion and under recuperation, which leads to over eating and  undernourishment, the need to stay super busy yet too tired to be physically inactive and this leads to the overweight condition and health complications. We are all susceptible to this trend, especially in a fast-paced modern environment that reinforces it, and the solution is the lifestyle formula E-MGT.

How we manage to spend and recuperate our vital energy is at least equal, if not more important than managing the quality of the food we eat and our activity levels every day as we achieve our goals.

Physical inactivity plays a major role in gaining weight, but the reason we are physically inactive most of the time, is exhaustion. How often have you said “I want to exercise” but you find yourself simply too tired throughout the day to get anything done. We’re overwhelmed and tired, lacking time, space and energy to do what we need for healthy bodies. Inactivity is a result, an effect, but not the original cause.

What about the claim that overeating is to blame? We are overeating, yet the primary reason, long before discussing a market saturated with addictive and fatty foods, is that most people faced with relentless demands on their time and energy, are worn down and looking for a quick pick me up.

In that besieged state, not only do they eat more for the stimulation they crave and more of the addictive fatty foods that are extraordinarily convenient and readily available (because they don’t go bad and have a long shelf life) but the combination of excessive stress and nutrient-poor food virtually guarantees they will overeat. Overeating is a result, an effect, but not the original cause.

Overwhelm and exhaustion are the greatest threats to our well being, our health and our weight. They go hand in hand. Look at your life for a moment and think of the ways you feel overwhelmed or exhausted. How often do you feel this way? What makes you feel this way?
