WeightDrive
This drive is all about managing your weight in relation to your body size and stature.
Let’s first start by saying you won’t find any diets in this Drive and we won’t recommend any. We will talk about a few diets but we don’t advise you to use them. Most medical professionals will tell you dieting is a waste of time, whether its carbs to proteins or calories or carbs it does not matter. It’s all about a balanced diet mindful of your own body’s needs and requirements.
WeightDrive is all about you getting to know yourself, what your lifestyle is, how many calories you eat/drink each day and how many you burn. What your muscle structure is and how often you exercise or not. When you eat, the portion size and the frequency – it’s really as simple as that!!
Who wants a model image and then having to live a miserable life living off seaweed, kelp, rabbit food and tofu. Most normal people have a bit of extra fat on their bums, boobs or belly, so what. If you are within your body range, eat healthily and exercise and you have no underlying health conditions? Then enjoy life.

Weight Management
In simple terms, the food we eat and the clean water we drink feeds our body and creates energy, measured in calories. Basically, If you eat and drink lots and if your body doesn’t burn off the same amount then the body stores the excess as fat for a day when you might need it.
The second and often considered factor is metabolism; often people blame weight gain on having a ‘slow metabolism’ meaning they burn off calories slower.
It’s easy to hate that person who can eat a 3-course meal every day and not put on a gram -does their body metabolism run at a higher rate and burn off more calories? Some people can look at a cream doughnut and feel fatter!!! The Mayo Clinic reckon it’s just about energy.
So, knowing yourself, knowing how much you eat in terms of calories and how much you use is the key. It’s worthwhile weighing yourself and assess their body mass index (BMI) – see below. You should learn to watch your weight and take charge. You need to watch the numbers.
Weight loss diets - do they really work?
According to scientists and leading Doctors, no they don’t and they don’t recommend weight loss diets. What scientists and doctors say is start by evaluating how much you burn calorifically each day and then work out a healthy eating regime around your intake. If you reduce your calorific intake and gently increase exercise you will loss weight gradually and your body adjusts itself over time. .
In the world of change we often use these terms. Revolutionary change means massive, fast, dynamic and potentially uncontrollable. With revolutionary change or any kind what often happens is consequences of the change. Managing issues and consequences of rapid change are sometimes uncontrollable and people end up firefighting. With revolutionary change risks cannot always be planed and managed easily and could result in increased risk. Evolutionary change is about gradual change where risks and consequences are more easily managed.
Often humans are impetuous and want to lose a lifetime of weight gain in weeks or even days, rather than accepting the healthiest way is over a couple of years. Most weight loss diets fail because humans get bored, lose interest, get depressed at the suffering and pain that they are putting themselves through, easily tempted because they have deprived themselves of nice things.
