Slim Down By Eating Right

There are 2 important components in successful weight control. Diet and exercise are the keys to your reaching and maintaining your goal weight, but diet is the more important one for weight loss.

You can exercise your little(?) bum off and still not lose weight if you continue to overeat. Naturally if you exercise regularly, you can be overweight and quite fit, but that's not really what you are after.

So in regards to diet, you know that you have to wean yourself off the fatty, salty, sugary yummies if you are going to get what you want (a fit trim healthy new you, remember?).

But of course the treats you've been routinely inhaling throughout your day have become like second nature to you and there's the problem. You have to change your eating habits or you are simply not going to have a weight control diet except in your wildest dreams.

If you are in a really desperate mindset, you may be able to cut out the saturated fats and copious sugars and simple carbs that I suspect currently predominate your life from one day to the next. Wouldn't that be great?

That's actually how I gave up drinking 3 years ago. I just stopped and didn't start again. I did not expect to be able to do this and I certainly did not plan it as I was an every day heavy drinker till then.

I was just in the right mindset at the right time and even now I don't thing "I'll never drink again". I think "At the moment the benefits of not drinking far outweigh the drawbacks". You could apply this Spartan technique to diet, but it can be a hard decision to stick to if you go that way.

The easiest method to change your diet is to wean yourself off particular foods while re-introducing your taste buds to salads and fruit and nuts and veges and lean meats. A bit like putting a baby onto solids.

All right, I know it's not fast, but do you want to maintain a goal weight or not? The vast majority of people who lose weight rapidly stack it all back on and more, so if you want a lasting result it's going to take time. If you rush a miracle man, you'll get lousy miracles.

Anyway, along with retraining your taste buds eating-wise, here are a few pointers for eating right to slim down.

1. You are going to have to restrict your drinks to water, skim milk, tea, coffee and the occasional diet drink, light beer or watered down glass of wine. Green tea would be perfect if you could manage it. The caffeine is helpful with fat burning and energy.

If water is too boring, slice up a bit of orange, lime or lemon and drown it. Don't be tempted into a drop of sugary cordial or a full strength milk or soda style drink.

Whatever you do, do not fool yourself into thinking fruit juice to be an acceptable health drink if you want to lose weight. All the fibre has been chucked out with the pulp and the juice is just choked with sugar that if you don't exercise it off almost immediately, will settle quite gleefully onto your stomach, thighs and hips.

2. You are going to have to eat small meals often. Now when you are currently thinking meals, you are probably thinking steak and 3 veg plus desert. No, no, no. A meal could be as small as an apple or tub of low fat yoghurt. The big meals should be breakfast and lunch to get you through the demanding parts of the day.

3. Dinner should be a very low volume meal. Use small plates for a psychological advantage. Small night time meals will definitely take some attitude adjustment, but the results will please you. Don't be afraid to go to bed a little bit hungry.

You have probably gotten into the habit of eating mindlessly with your focus elsewhere than on your food. If your food is not the main subject of your attention when you eat, I can guarantee you will eat more than you mean to. Turn off the TV, sit down, look at your food and appreciate it. Eat slowly and taste everything you eat. It's going to work.

4. Stop eating before you get full. It takes a good 20 minutes for your dozy old tummy to register that you have fed it. Give it a chance by sending down a bit at a time. This is definitely an acquired technique but again one that will set you on the road to weight control diet success.

If you put a bit of thought into what you eat and drink and how and when you take your meals, you are going to slim down nicely.

Eat clean and prosper!

Fat Loss 4 Idiots Review

What is the Fat Loss 4 Idiots diet plan and does Fat Loss 4 Idiots Work? The Fat Loss 4 Idiots is a web based diet program that does not require the purchase of any meal plans nor supplements. The diet plan works like this; you enter a list of preferred foods in the lean proteins, fruits and vegetables, and carbohydrates family and the Fat Loss 4 Idiots program will generate a 11 day diet meal plan for you.

You will have 4 meals a day; each meal being at least 2.5 hours apart. There is no calorie counting nor strict portion control; you are given the guidance to eat until you feel just short of full. At the end of 11 days, you get 3 cheat days when you can eat whatever you want. The meal plans are rotated and changed on an 11 day cycle. The reasoning behind this is that your body's metabolism may adapt to your previous diet and slow down; Fat Loss 4 Idiots aims to trick the body's metabolism by varying the diet plan every 11 days.

Does the Fat Loss 4 Idiots diet program work? Yes...but not because of any "calorie shifting". The Discriminating Consumer could find no scientific evidence supporting "calorie shifting". The Fat Loss 4 Idiots diet works because it is essentially a low carb, high protein diet; even though it doesn't advertise itself as so. Any time you drastically cut your calorie intake, you are bound to lose weight. Those with more weight to lose will, of course, lose more weight than those who had less to lose to begin with.

All in all, the Fat Loss 4 Idiots diet program is an affordable and simple, almost idiot proof, diet program. It is worth a buy for those searching for rapid weight loss, looking to lose a considerable amount of weight in a short period of time. The Discriminating Consumer does not recommend crash diets, but sometimes that is exactly what someone is searching for. Those looking for longer term weight management or those who need more human support to be motivated should look elsewhere.

5 Steps To Lose Weight Fast

Want to slim down fast for a special occasion? Losing weight too quickly can be dangerous to your body. The best solution! Do not go for an overnight miracle.

Step one.

Determine your daily calorie intake. Exercise alone will not make you lose weight if you still taking more calories than you burn. What you should do is eat more protein dense, clean foods. Write down all the things you eat on a typical day. Do an itemized calorie count.

Step two

Decide which foods to cut out or reduce. Cutting calories is a lot easier than you might think. A pound of flab is roughly equivalent to 3500 calories. Replacing that rich beverage with a black coffee can help you lose a pound a week. Salad dressing is the number one source of fat in the average American diet. Reduce that and you could lose another pound a week.

Step three

Seek out alternatives to the unhealthy foods you've identified. Drink water, instead of soda. Choose lean meats, for example, salmon, sardines and fresh tuna. Replace high-calorie side dishes with healthier alternatives. Replace french fries or potato salad with fresh vegetables, and since.

Step four

Plan your meals. Look for healthy, delicious meals, online or in your cookbooks and create a menu for the week. Make absolutely sure that your menu reduces your calorie intake otherwise you will not lose weight.

Step five

Watch your portion sizes. Use a smaller bowl when eating. This will help you reduce your calorie intake, without even knowing. Losing weight can be difficult or easy, all depending on how you look at it.

5 Fast Weight Loss Tips

We all want to lose a bit of weight, and a change in diet and mental attitude towards food can really bring huge benefits in the long term. But what about when you want to lose weight quick! Maybe you have a wedding to go to, or you are going on holiday and need a beach body? Don't despair, follow these 5 fast weight loss tips and you can get yourself looking trim faster than ever, just be sure to also work on your long term techniques after the event so it doesn't come back!

Let's look at each one in turn:

Working out more - yes, I'm afraid there is some work involved in this one, if you are not exercising already then you need to start. You can't just jump into a vigorous routine though, if you are stretched for time then go for a one hour walk a day, non-stop, no stopping to talk to people along the way and wasting the hour, one hour of solid walking. This will start to have a dramatic effect when combined with the other fast weight loss tips.

If you are already exercising then you need to take it to the next level, either increase the intensity or the frequency of your workouts, maybe add a one hour walk onto the days where you don't go to the gym as well.

Eating breakfast - some people think that skipping meals will help them to lose weight, wrong! Skipping breakfast is the biggest mistake people make. When you wake up your body is conserving energy as it doesn't know if and when you will eat again. By eating breakfast you are telling it that food is available and your metabolism increases so you actually burn up more fat during the rest of the day.

Drink lots of water - water has lots of health benefits so we know we should drink it, but did you also know it is an appetite suppressant? If you are hungry you can drink water and it will fill you up so you are less hungry, try to drink about 8 glasses a day to get the best effects.

Eat lots of fibre - fibre fills you up just like water so that you feel less hungry and are less likely to snack. An added benefit is that it cleanses out your system so that you feel less bloated and stuffy and it gets rid of old waste in your system to help you feel better, when you feel better you are more likely to exercise!

Replace snacks - trying to cut down on snacking is actually counterintuitive, you need to have lots of small meals during the day rather than 3 large meals, so snacking is important. The problem is snacking on the wrong things.

If you try to stop snacking you will more than likely lose the battle with your willpower! You have to replace it so you get the psychological satisfaction of snacking but you are doing it in a healthy way. Try eating nuts & dried fruit during the day instead of chocolate.

If you follow these fast weight loss tips you will start to see rapid improvements in your energy levels and your body, keep it up until that event and then moderate it afterwards to make sure the weight stays off!

Easy Weight Loss: 3 Practical Tips That Work

Losing weight naturally and safely doesn't have to be as difficult as you might think. In fact, most people can experience relatively easy weight loss by simply "getting out of the way" of their body's own fat-burning mechanisms. Listed below are 3 simple, practical, and proven tips for losing weight as easily as possible. Try them out for a few weeks and watch the fat melt off!

1. Get out of your own way -- follow the ABC diet!

The first step to losing weight with a minimum amount of effort is to stop eating and drinking things that make it difficult to drop body fat. Many fitness and fashion models stay slim by following the "ABC diet" -- no alcohol, no bread, and no (simple) carbohydrates. Basically they avoid the "Big 3" metabolism-slowing, fat-creating substances that most overweight people consume on a regular basis.

If you really want to experience easy weight loss, try cutting out all alcohol, bread, pasta, fried foods, and sugar from your diet for a few weeks. These things "clog" your system, increase your fat stores, and kill your energy levels. Eliminating them from your diet will really make a big difference and you'll begin to look and feel much better pretty quickly.

2. Don't ever let yourself get hungry... EVER!

Hunger and food-cravings can kill any weight loss plan, no matter how motivated you are. Keep yourself on the right track by "grazing" on healthy snacks throughout the day. High-fiber foods like veggies, fruits, seeds, and nuts are your best choices. Plan healthy meals and snacks ahead of time -- don't wait until the last second to figure out what you're going to eat!

Keep a bag of healthy trail mix with you and grab a handful every few hours. Eat a spoonful of natural peanut butter as soon as your start to get hungry. Sip ice water and green tea throughout the day. Chew on sugar-free mint gum to kill food cravings. Basically, do whatever it takes to keep yourself from getting hungry -- you'll find that it will make losing weight MUCH easier.

3. Protein shakes are your friends.

When you're trying to lose weight naturally, protein shakes are a huge help. A properly made protein shake is extremely healthy and full of hunger-killing, fat loss-boosting protein, fiber, and healthy fats. Most importantly, it is delicious! A protein shake sweetened with a healthy sugar substitute like xylitol or stevia can really hit the spot when you're craving something sweet.

Base your shakes on whey protein powder, low-fat milk (or rice/soy/oat/almond milk), and fresh or frozen fruit. Throw in some ground flax seeds, almonds, and/or natural peanut butter to increase the "good fat" content and to make your shakes more filling. There are hundreds of healthy protein shake recipes out there so be sure and experiment to find one that suits your tastes.

Healthy Living With The Green Tea Diet

With the increasing focus on weight loss and healthy eating, we are subjected on a daily basis to an overwhelming amount of information. It seems that every day brings the advent of some new weight loss product that promises to help us shed pounds and get healthy in one fell swoop. Its no wonder that were all so confused. But those who understand the components of healthy weight loss know that a focus on natural, whole foods can increase your bodys health and bring you to a weight thats appropriate for you. Many natural food enthusiasts continue to tout the benefits of the green tea diet using the natural characteristics of green tea to speed the metabolism and achieve optimal health.

It seems that each study yields more benefits of the green tea diet. For instance, green tea a natural and aggressive antioxidant will cleanse your body of impurities and help keep your system balanced. The benefits of this are increased immunity against a variety of viruses and bacteria. In fact, some recent studies have shown the promise of a green tea diet in warding off such conditions as Alzheimers because of the teas ability to fight off certain chemicals that cause plaque build-up on the brain.

Additionally, a green tea diet will afford you a speedier metabolism as green tea has been shown to effectively raise metabolic levels. And if that werent enough, it has also been shown that a green tea diet will help your body burn fat, as the properties of green tea efficiently break down fat deposits.

However, for those who must stay away from caffeine, the green tea diet is not for you. Green tea does contain caffeine but is certainly a superlative choice to coffee in addressing your bodys overall health.

Participants in a green tea diet can sip the beverage after meals to help aid digestion and keep metabolic rates increased. Or try substituting your morning coffee with a cup of green tea.

The green diet is in no way a substitute for overall healthy eating and plenty of physical activity. But it can be a component of your new lifestyle of healthy living.

Cori Weight Loss - An Effective Burger

I must say that one should be creative if you are trying to reduce your weight through my burger, what I call cori weight loss item.

If you can eat frozen cori weight loss burgers for a quick and easy meal. It is like a regular hamburger but you could be a bit experimental while making it.

You can make these cori weight loss Berger by purchasing friezed salmon burgers or you can make it by your own. It is your own choice.

I personally do not like the frozen one. And if you are making by yourself, you can use vegetables or you can replace it by your own logical choices.

So note down the required ingredients:

Sliced onion

Sliced long thin pieces of half a red pepper

Sliced long thin pieces of half a yellow pepper

cup of broccoli

Grated Parmesan cheese

Shredded mozzarella

Olive oil

And last but not the least

1 Salmon burger

You can use a small pan to cook the salmon burger and take off the heat and sprinkle some shredded Cheese on top of it. Now cover the pan so that cheese melts on on of it.

In the second part of its preparation, take a second pan and heat some olive oil on medium heat and put some sliced onions, peppers, broccoli and saute. Now add some salts as per your own taste. You can use any other stuff in place of salt if you do not wish to have salt. Here you can mix vegetables and cook for approximately 10 min. Cooking for 10 min. will make your vegetables crunchy.

Serve this with putting cheese and olive oil. Now put your salmon burger and press into your mixture.

This is my stuff which is healthy and easy to make.

Wishing you success,

Bodybuilding Cutting Exercises Are a Fitness Myth

Bodybuilders use high repetition sets to get ripped, but could get more results in less time by doing less work.

High repetition sets do not get you cut.

This is a myth, and there's a much better way to sculpt your body, get ripped, and finally achieve the elusive 6-pack.

But again, let me repeat, you won't succeed with high-repetition sets using light weights. And don't even worry about the "pump", but that's another article for another day. To get ripped, its all about nutrition and intensity. We want to be able to see our well-earned muscles and our 6-pack abs.

And that's why we get lured into the belief of the cutting exercises. Because it causes a burn in our muscles, we generally think, hey, this must be burning fat. But it's not! It's just a fatiguing sensation. If you are using a high-rep, cutting program, I doubt you are getting the results you want. You don't need to be in the gym too long.

There is a better way to burn fat. A faster way. And a smarter way. It doesn't involve "toning" workouts or "Cutting exercises". What you need to do for fat loss, and getting cut, is to focus on the same exercises that helped you build muscle in the first place.

So forget the pec-dec, and stick with dumbbell presses. Say goodbye to leg extensions, and keep using squats and lunges. Next up is the shocker! Use intervals to cut fat fast! Instead, we'll use interval training to burn fat and boost our metabolism in less than half the time as a normal cardio workout. Only 20 minutes of interval training done 3 times per week resulted in weight loss in one Australian study.

On the other hand, three 40-minute cardio sessions did not cause any weight loss in the same study. Shocking results, but it just goes to show you the power of intensity. No more slow boring aerobics. That means saying goodbye to light weights and high reps and long slow cardio. Goodbye, nice to know you! If you want to get ripped muscles, diet hard?

First, you need the proper dietary changes to promote muscle gains and body fat reductions. Nutrition is the most important factor for fat burning and getting cut. If your nutrition sucks, and you eat fast food or skip meals, you are in big trouble. There is no workout good enough to overcome bad nutrition. Next, focus on multi-muscle strength exercises and finish with interval training to burn more calories out of the gym.

No more machines. No more high reps. Use more intensity and put turbulence on your muscles. If you did a squat, a press, and a row in each workout, and then did intervals, you'd get ripped if your nutrition was good. Keep it incredibly simple, but intense.

Forget about slow boring cardio. You need to do short burst exercise instead. Consistency is key for getting cut.

Forget bodybuilding, use Turbulence Training to get ripped. Burn fat with bodyweight exercises.

 

Best Foods For Quick Weight Loss

Yes water helps you to lose weight.Our bodies contain 70 percent water, so we must consume a diet that is 70% water just to replenish the water which is excreted and maintain the 70-30 balance. You have to drink 8 glasses of water a day. For weight loss, you should drink an additional amount of water. The more your weight, the more water you should consume to lose weight.

Will consuming lots of water help me to lose weight or should I have high water content food also?

Water i.e. pure water has many benefits. It decreases fluid retention, thereby increasing your thirst for more water, it enhances metabolism(the faster your metabolism, the slower you gain weight), declines appetite thereby reducing your need for eating every half an hour. All this does help to lose weight.

But drinking water does not have the enzymes and other life preserving elements which high-water-content food have which also help to lose weight. Every raw vegetable and fruit contains atoms and these atoms contain enzyme-the life principle in the atoms and molecules of every living cell. These enzymes are required for nourishing and replenishing the atoms of our body. Water carries the enzymes of the food into the intestines where these (enzymes) are absorbed.If you have more of water-rich foods in your weight loss diet that means you are eating food that have all the requirements of the body. The water also cleans your body of wastes and detoxifies it, thereby leading to weight loss.

Also if you have lots of water-rich foods then you would not have to forcibly drink those 8 (more if you are overweight)glasses of bland water everyday to keep your weight in check.

Sometimes the 70-30 balance may become 50-50 or 40-60 during weekends and parties. Don't worry. Just increase the quantity of high water content food the next day. Let the balance be 85% water-rich food and 15% of other food.

Just follow the simple, tasty and effective food balance given above and see yourself getting into shape quickly and staying that way forever. Weight loss and its worries will be thing of the past for you. No wonder dieticians all over the world recommend high-water-content foods as the best foods for quick weight loss.

Gastric Bypass Causes Hair Loss: Can It Be Avoided?

Surprisingly, hair loss is one of the reasons female pre-operative patients sit on the fence before deciding to have gastric bypass surgery. Obese people, particularly obese women, often have lush gorgeous hair. Of course they do its well fed and nourished! How many of us have been described as the woman with beautiful hair and a pretty face? What person in their right mind would give up one of their beautiful features?

Hair loss usually occurs in the fourth of fifth month following weight loss surgery. During the phase of rapid weight loss, caloric intake is marginal. This puts the body in a state of panic called starvation. Think about the pictures of prisoners of war. Most victims of this atrocity are without hair because they are literally starving to death. A healthy body normally sheds ten percent of hair follicles at any given time. When a body is starving roughly thirty to forty percent of hair follicles are sacrificed as the body channels nutrition to more vital areas. During this phase hair loss is dramatic, often patients find clumps of hair on the shower floor. Remaining hair becomes drab and lifeless.

I knew hair loss was a potential result of weight loss surgery, but because Im a cup-half-full person, I didnt believe that hair loss would happen to me! That just happens to other people, I told myself! Imagine my surprise when my blonde locks were littering the bathroom floor like hair saloon. I shed some tears over that.

The hair loss is a transient effect of your gastric bypass surgery and will be resolved when nutrition and weight stabilize. When my hair began falling out, my husband, who has been a proponent of vitamin supplements all his life, found a vitamin specifically formulated for building strong healthy hair. The vitamin I take for healthy hair and nails is Silica Complex by Puritans Pride. It contains calcium, magnesium, zinc, boron, betaine and horsetail extract. Consumption of this supplement almost immediately retarded my hair loss and renewed my dull lifeless hair. I will continue taking this supplement throughout my life. Three years after surgery my hair is long, full and lustrous one would never know I had suffered significant hair loss. In hindsight, I would certainly begin taking this supplement prior to my surgery. In the very least I would begin taking it soon after surgery before the signs of hair loss were apparent.

Quick Weight Loss Tips

In modern days where we are bombarded with commercials with people who look like super models, and many of them are, your first impression is really important. If you take some time to read couple of books on communication you will see that the first impression is really important. Guess what people notice first when they meet you? They notice yourself, your body and your body details. Even though in some cultures being overweight is considered a good thing in most countries it is desirable to have an athletic body.

One of the first things you should do when you decide to lose weight is to take at look at what you eat. Are you feeding yourself with chips and soda? Are you eating a lot of junk food in general? How much fruit and vegetables to you consume? Yes, I know that hamburgers are very sweet for you and you just love to eat them but if you want to lose weight you need to change your diet right now.

If you didn't know, your body uses energy to power itself and the energy comes from food and drinks. If you eat a lot of calories per day your body will store additional energy it can't use and it will convert into fat. That's right, eating too much leads to overweight body. Shocking isn't it? Not so much but you just fail to realize it. In order to meet your desired body you must let junk food out and cut the calories your consume everyday.

The second step to a better looking body is exercising. Go to a gym, consult with people who work there and they will surely help you to meet your goal. Don't be afraid, take your life into your hands and create yourself a better lifestyle.

How To Lose 10 kg In 2 Weeks - Learn To Do It The Right Way!

If you really are interested in losing 10 kg in 2 weeks, you should know some facts about what will happen. Losing 10 kg is quite possible but you are likely to gain at least 2 kg after you stop dieting due to the initial water loss. When you go on a diet your body will start using the glycogen stored in your muscles and the glycogen binds lots of water, thus the great initial weight loss.

Another part of the weight lost will most likely come from lean muscle mass. When our body can't find enough energy in our foods it will chose between using fat or muscle for energy. If it find no use for muscle mass it will chose the muscle. How great is that? We don't want to lose muscle for weight, because muscle loss will decrease the ability to burn fat and it is the fat that we really want to get rid of, right?

There is a new weight loss diet that is called the calorie shifting diet. This diet allows you to lose about 4-5 kg every 14 days and this is the best, and most healthy way for a fast weight loss.

During the first cycle you will lose some of the water just like you would do with other diets, however, the special part of calorie shifting is that you will not lose as much muscle. If you decide to give this diet a try and you still are interested in losing as much weight as possible in a short period of time I would suggest that you use a fat burning exercise program during the weight loss. This will either keep your muscle or even build new muscle, thus increasing the ability to burn fat.

I have lost a total of 25 kg using the calorie shifting diet and a special exercise program called turbulence training. This was a great combination and it really gave me a fast initial weight loss, where I lost about 5 kg during the first two cycles.

I participate in several online forums and I have met people losing weight with this diet and they don't understand why they lost weight, this is a smooth this diet is. You eat almost until you are full, you eat four times per day and you eat enough calories to stay alert.

Also, the exercise I followed, turbulence training, is a program that is built for people on the move. You get a complete workout in 45 minutes. We could all spare 45 minutes 3 times per week and that is all it takes. The program increase the fat burning and not only during the exercise but for the whole week!

Jennifer Olsen isn't one of those health guru's, but she has probably read more and tried more diets than any of those so called weight loss guru's.

Through endless nights she has been participating in online forums and learning what people just like herself thinks. This lead to finding a diet along with an exercise that really boosts you fat loss.

She put up a mini-site that holds different calorie shifting diets, a complete fat burning program and some reviews of popular diets. Click Here Now, To learn about Real Fat Loss

 

Natural Weight Loss with Raw Foods

If you want natural weight loss and improve your health, then consider a raw food diet as an option. There are many benefits including a stronger immune system.

Many believe that a raw vegan diet is the natural diet for humans. It seems like people on raw food diets can eat almost as much as they want and still maintain a healthy weight.

Cavemen didn't eat cooked foods until after they learned how to use fire. Once they begin using fire they slowly incorporated cooked foods into their diet.

This appears to make sense. Raw foods contain all the natural enzymes that assist you to completely digest your food without putting excessive strain on your body. Cooked foods have most if not all of the enzymes destroyed. Even some raw food is processed to death making for a sad substitute for proper food.

We are all aware of the hormones, preservatives and other unhealthy additives that are in our foods today. This is a significant reason to try to eat organic foods as well.

People on raw food diets seem to be healthier, happier and hardly catch a cold. You do have to make sure you have enough vit-b12 though. Have this checked and take a supplement if necessary.

One healthy food that may be particularly good in helping with weight loss is parsnips. They are high in fiber which makes you feel fuller. Parsnips can lower cholesterol and keep your blood sugar even.

If you definitely want to lose weight and keep it off, then you need to follow a healthy lifestyle. This means a natural diet and exercise. Instead of taking the elevator, take the stairs. Only on those Geico comercials will you see a caveman taking an escalator instead of hoofing it.

Make sure you include healthy oils and fats that contains omega 3. Stay away from the unhealthy ones. Avocados also contain healthy oils.

Even if you can't cut out all cooked foods and meats, try to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. Continue on this path and you will start to feel great and wonder why you haven't started this long ago.

After the cavemen discovered fire they had to chase their dinner. They even had to run from their so-called dinners at times. Before they ate meat they had to thoroughly search for other food. I suppose they exercised a bit more than we do today.

Walking, running, swimming and jogging are some of the ways to exercise more. Maybe those cavemen aren't receiving all the credit they deserve after all.

How to Get Six Pack Abs Fast

It is just about everyone's desire to have six pack abs. And they want to know how to get six pack abs fast.

I am going to explain some things to you that will help you understand how you to get sleek and sexy abs, and how you may be able to get them faster than you ever thought possible.

The first thing that you need to realize is that it takes hard work to get six pack abs. If you have been trying for a while, you know that this is true. What you don't know is that the work you are doing is probably the wrong way to achieve your goal.

A lot of people think that doing more and more crunches will help you get rid of stomach fat and reveal the muscles underneath. This just isn't the case in most situations. The fact is that crunches and sit-ups will not burn fat, so you will not see any results any time soon.

What you need to concentrate on is getting rid of the fat while doing exercises that target the ab muscles more than regular exercises. The ab muscles are the hardest to develop because most people do not know what they are doing wrong. And the fact is that over 90% of people working on their abs are doing it all wrong.

If you want to get great results, you really need to concentrate more on losing the belly fat rather than the exercises. The exercising is what make your abs visible, but they do not good if you do not know how to properly get rid of the fat that they are hiding behind.

How many times have you been at the gym and seen a true flat stomach? Most people just don't have it because they have a small amount of fat that just will not go away...or so it seems. The truth is that they don't know what to do to get rid of it.

Then, once you get rid of the belly fat, you need to concentrate on exercises that really target the ab muscles, and give them the best workout possible. Things like crunches and sit-ups are not going to cut it. You need to think along the lines of exercises like the air bike, leg pull ins, leg raises, etc.

So, if you really want to know how to get six pack abs fast, you need to know........

Is The Weight Loss Patch For You?

There is always a new invention and modern ways that are constantly implemented to assist with effectively losing weight. During my research, I found one such called The Weight Loss Patch. The Patch is claimed to be revolutionary, advanced appetite suppressant, metabolism booster, and energy enhancer...all in one. The Patch helps to prevent going on starvation diets because of its natural and easy use. It is safe and requires no grueling and dangerous exercises. It is said to work all day and all night long by placing it on any area of the body.

Placing a new adhesive skin patch on your body each day are the instructions for continuous, safe, and effective weight loss. It is much like a Nicotine Patch that takes away your craving for cigarettes or the Detox Foot Patch that removes the toxins from your body while you sleep.

The Weight Loss Diet Patch as experienced by those who use it is supposed to drastically reduce your cravings for food, so you naturally do not want to over-eat. At the same time, the Patch boosts your energy level, and jump-starts your metabolism to burn maximum body fat.

It obliterates the need to take pills, diet plans or weight loss programs. Due to the fact that it does not have to be taken internally, most people would want to try it out of curiosity or desperation. People are motivated by different things and have different needs at certain times in their lives. No matter where you are in life or what mental state you find yourself, if you really want to lose weight without the hassle, you will be tempted to at least try the weight loss patch as a means to the end of your weight loss issues.

The primary positive fixation about this patch is that the ingredients are safe for anyone to use and according to the retailers that sell this product, it will work or you get your money back. I guess that is how confident they are about their product.

The results, though, have to be consistent with how you use the product and if you follow the guidelines of how to use it as with any other weight loss product on the market. The possibility of losing weight in a natural and safe manner has created a craze for this product in comparison to diets like Atkins diet, South Beach diet, Jenny Craig, Trimpsa diet and Nutrition System because those diets follow a more rigid plan.

After reading this article, can you honestly answer the question, Is the weight loss patch for you? This is your challenge and decision to make and I would think that it really depends on how serious you are about your weight loss success.

How Low Carb Diets Affect Your Metabolism

Low carb diets have been around for some time now and the idea behind them makes sense from a weight loss perspective. After all it is a proven fact that the way the body reduces it fat stores is when there is a calorie deficit. In other words the body burns more calories then it takes in when we eat.

Since we get the majority of our calories from carbohydrates it only makes sense that by limiting them in our diets we can lose weight. And its been proven to work, ten of thousands of people who have tried various types of low carb diets and lost weight proves that.

But how low carb should we go? Everyones body is different and finding what works best for each individual is not always easy. There is an optimum amount of calories the body needs to function each day. If we go above or below this level it can affect our metabolism, which is the engine that runs the body. It is a complex energy creating and burning system that affects every aspect of our lives because without it working correctly we can suffer from a variety of symptoms and conditions that if left unrecognized can have serious consequences to our health.

We all know what happens if we eat too many calories, we gain weight because the body stores those excess calories as fat. But what happens when our carb intake is to low? One of the first things that happens is the body responds to this sudden loss of energy by slowing down its metabolism. Not quite the desired affect someone who wishes to lose weight wants. This is a reaction that has evolved over thousands of years and is the normal response to a body trying to conserve its energy in a time of famine.

If our carbohydrate becomes to low the body responds even farther. A normal metabolic process known as lipolysis is accelerated. Lipolysis is the process by which fat is pulled from adipose tissue and broken down into two components, fatty acids and glycerol. These two components of fat are the main source of energy for the liver, cardiac muscle and resting skeletal muscles.

As our caloric intake decreases with a reduction of carbs the body turns to its fat stores for its energy supply. Lipolysis is the process by which this happens. The problems begin during the chemical process of lipolysis in which oxaloacetic acid that is normally used to transport acetyl coenzyme A is instead converted to glucose which the brain needs as its energy supply.

As the supply of oxaloacetic acid diminishes the fat oxidation process of lipolysis is unable to complete the liver converts the excess acetyl CoA to ketones in a process called ketogenesis. These ketone bodies are released into the blood stream and can lead to a condition known as ketosis. Ketosis is common in the malnourished and those who suffer from diabetes. Ketosis, if not treated, is a potentially fatal condition that first leads to a coma as the nervous system becomes depressed because of the blood pH drop caused by the ketones in the blood stream.

Low carb diets can lead to a drastic weight loss, but anyone attempting to use such a program should do so carefully. Cutting too many carbs from ones diet can have life threatening affects just as consuming to many calories and obesity do. Moderating the intake of carbs to provide the body the amount of energy to needs to function is a much better strategy then starving it of its most important energy supply.

Weight Loss Products Treat The Whole Person

Okay, lets get the one, small bit of bad news out of the way first: There is no magic pill anywhere on the planet that will dissolve extra pounds and give you a healthy, toned body all by itself. Some effort on your part is required. Sorry.

We cant change our genetic structure if our ancestors are tall and thin, or short and compact, then were hard-wired for that kind of body shape, ourselves but we can change our diets and level of exercise to present ourselves to the world in the healthiest, most attractive light.

Take heart! The really good news is that the various health formulas found in many products give you a giant boost in your campaign to lose weight and get fit because they work with your body, in a totally natural way, to maximize even the smallest effort you make.

Quick, Healthy Meals - delicious protein shakes make it easy and quick to get the nutrition you need in a tasty shake. Different manufacturers have formulas that include a variety of essential vitamins, minerals and nutrients to keep your body functioning at maximum efficiency, giving you stamina and energy to stay with your exercise program and other demands on your busy life. These shakes satisfy your hunger and help manage your weight.

Appetite Control Nothing destroys a diet like between-meal snacks. Its the one thing, above and beyond all other challenges, that spells DOOM to dieters.

Its the hardest subversive force to guard against, as well.

Who can blame us, after all? When we decide to go on a weight-loss diet, the first thing that happens is that our bodies rebel against the sudden reduction of fat- and sugar-intake by making us relentlessly crave the very things that will cause us to fail, keeping us overweight and unhealthy.

The powerful herbs available in well-designed snack bars deliver all-day snack control, while helping reduce carbohydrate absorption and maintain blood sugar levels at a steady, normal range.

Metabolism Boosters Metabolism is the rate at which your body uses energy. Using energy = burning calories, so you want your metabolism boosted to a higher, more effective rate. Some select supplements are designed to do just that with a powerful blend of green tea, yerba mat, cacao and 11 other herbs. This type of blend gives your energy level a great natural boost.

Antioxidant Boosters Antioxidants are substances that protect cells from the damage caused by unstable molecules known as free radicals. While antioxidants are abundant in fruits and vegetables, nuts, grains and some meats, poultry and fish, most people don't get nearly enough of them in their daily diet.

There are many quality products designed by experts with naturally occurring elements and herbs to make your weight loss program quick, easy and highly effective.

Tips for Natural Weight Loss

Enjoyable physical activity is an integral part of a natural weight loss program. Research shows that physical activity is one of the key factors in helping people keep the pounds off. If you set sensible goals for yourself, chances are you'll be more likely to meet them and have a better chance of keeping your ideal weight.

A lifestyle based on healthy eating and regular physical activity is naturally the best way. By that I mean incorporating working your muscles and well as cardiovascular. Yes, study after study has shown that a blend of the two is key to a natural program being successful and keeping the weight from coming back.

Our bodies are amazing. If you eat less the body thinks it needs to store more because there's not enough. If you eat more frequently not large portions but just on a more frequent basis the body will think there is plenty and start burning the fat that is stored up.

A decrease in caloric intake and an increase in daily activity will create a natural caloric deficit which is the foundation of all pounds coming off for good. The excess weight that you put on is the difference between calories digested and calories burnt off through exercise. Therefore if you lead an active life you are able to consume more calories and your activity will get you to where you want to be.

Using moderate weights does not result in huge muscle mass, but it increases the body metabolism, firms the body and gives a slim look. Aerobic exercises can enhance your heart beat rate and breathing.

Most people employ just the cardio side of losing weight. Which it isn't bad but it more works the heart and lungs. You must incorporate a muscle workout of some kind into our regime. This is missing factor with so many.

Did you know after a muscle workout with weights your muscles are needing "food"? Guess what that food is..its your fat. This could be the missing link to your success.

Solutions for Weight Loss Failure YOU Need To Know About

Why is it that no matter what you try, fancy diets, expensive supplements, you just can't seem to lose weight? Today I'm going to tackle this question and hopefully provide you with some explanations to why this is.

Perhaps the most common reason for failure is when a person starves themselves for two weeks and loses weight, only to gain it all back. This has been called yo-yo dieting or the weight loss roller coaster. What you're doing is basically tricking your metabolism into helping you lose weight, and it's not going to help you in the long run. The answer to this problem isn't as harsh as you may think. Your goal should be to eat 4 to 5 small, balanced meals a day. In our fast paced culture, this can be hard, but you will reap large benefits. Lay off the sugar and fats aim for a consistent daily calorie intake.

The second reason for weight loss failure, and we can all relate to this one, is not enough exercise! If you don't exercise, you're not going to lose weight, that's the hard truth. But the good news is that daily exercise isn't as bad as you'd think. Again, what you're aiming here for is consistency. Start out by exercising about 15 minutes a day. You'll be surprised about how easy it is and it will become almost second nature to you in no time. The best part is you don't need expensive equipment, simple exercises like walking will show you results.

Your own psychology can even work against you and lead to your failure. Sometimes you'll have unrealistic expectations and beat yourself up over it. Perhaps you start out strong and give up as soon as you forge to exercise or give into temptation. Often you'll look for immediate results and throw in the towel when you don't get them. Whatever your personal problem may be, the important thing to do is to throw out this emotional thinking and think positive. Whenever one of these ugly thoughts rears its head, replace it with a realistic, yet positive thought. Also important, when you're feeling low about not meeting your goals, do not eat in order to feel better, this is a common trap for those trying to lose weight.

A tough reason for weight loss failure to accept is our genetics. Some people are just more geared towards weight gain than others. Don't see this as something that can't be helped though. You may have to put in some extra effort, and perhaps the best thing you can do is to see a physician with experience in the weight loss field who can prescribe for you a dietary and weight management program.

These are just a few of the obstacles that lead to weight loss failure so be on the lookout for others. However, if you can keep yourself exercising, eating healthy, and maintaining a positive attitude, you're bound to only get results, but to get results that last.

Fad Diets That Work - Is There Such a Thing?

There are many fad diets constantly getting promoted with huge advertising campaigns and it seems that not a week goes by when somebody hasn't released the latest and greatest weight loss program onto the market.

Unfortunately the majority of these weight loss programs don't work for most people because they are simply too hard to maintain or alternatively they are detrimental to your overall health.

There is not one diet that is perfect for everyone but there are some very good programs available that will give most people very positive results and these are all based on the same foundation of sound nutrition, good exercise and realistic expectations.

Realistic expectations will get you a long way to achieving your goals so do take the time to consider what you can do, and what you can maintain over the long term.

Once again using good quality supplements can help considerably by maintaining balanced nutrition and reducing hunger that comes about from your body telling you that something is missing in your nutrition.

Having the support of those people around you will increase your chances of success and can help to give you the opportunity to set higher expectations and achieve your goals a lot sooner.

Support for your goals is a huge factor in achieving them even if you don't need other people to remain motivated so accept all and any help that comes your way.

The fact that you are considering a weight loss program only proves that you know what is good for you and all that is required now is for you to take action and make the necessary changes to your lifestyle that are overdue.

The first step is always the hardest and the further you go the easier the journey becomes provided of course that you have chosen the right path to follow.

Jennifer Olsen was a master of failing at different diets. She understood that there were more to losing weight then just going on a diet. Today she has lost nearly 50 pounds with the calorie-shifting diet and learned easy ways to change routines and habits to keep weight.

She made a mini-site that gives examples of calorie shifting, complete fast weight loss diets and reviews of diets and books that helped her stop living the unhealthy life and turning around into a more healthy life-style. If you are interested in learning more please Click Here!

11 Simple Ways to Lose Weight

Diet and proper nutrition plays an important key factor in fat loss.

A healthy diet needs to be well rounded with the proper amount of nutrients, vitamins and minerals - which also includes a daily intake of fiber, protein, and good source of fat.

Not only do we need a balanced diet - a proper meal plan is also required.

Below are 11 ways to lose weight -

1) Quality protein in a daily diet.

Processing protein requires the greatest expenditure of energy, and you will burn more calories digesting it than carbs and fat.

Dietary fat, on the other hand, is so easily processed and turned into body fat that there is little thermic effect. The amount of energy required to process carbohydrates falls between that of protein and fat.

As well, protein creates satiety so your tummy is satisfied longer.

And protein is a great building block for maintaining and building lean muscle (which is one of the main factors for controlling your metabolism).

2) Fiber

For fibers, eat plenty of vegetables, fruits and high fiber unrefined grains.

Fiber in your diet will help you fill up - which is beneficial for fat loss.

3) Eating Fat is a good way to lose weight

Don't ignore the good fat.

Not having enough fat in a diet will result in more cravings, and a negative impact on the hormone levels in your body

Good sources of healthy fats are nuts, seeds, nut butters, avocados, olive oil, organic meats, eggs, coconuts and virgin coconut oil.

Why not Start each day with a handful of nuts, it is also a great source of fiber. By eating nuts, you balance out your blood sugar early in the morning, meaning you're more likely to use fat as energy and can help curb cortisol, the hormone that eats into your fat burning musle tissue

4) No Trans Fat please

Avoid processed foods and sweetened products, such as high fructose corn syrup.

5) Eat more - 5 to 6 meals a day

Eating small meals every 3 hours will increase your metabolism and reduce fat storage.

This is a proven fact that many models, athletes, body builders and lean people abide by.

6) Eat Breakfast Daily

Most people fail to do this.

Eating breakfast is way to break the fast during the sleeping period, and is a great way to boost your metabolism.

By skipping breakfast, your metabolism will run slower which mean the body will not burn body fat.

Your body needs energy, and breakfast provides that source which allows your body to burn more body fat!

Not only that, breakfast helps to stop those cravings later in the day, and maintain your energy level whilst lowering stress levels.

Research has proven that people who ate a veggie omelette for breakfast ate 81% less the rest of the day than a group who ate porridge for breakfast.

Don't know about you - but it sounds like a great way to lose weight!

7) Sleep before 1030 pm

Everyone needs a good sleep. Lack of sleep is one of the main contributors to fat storage.

8) Take more fish oil

Great source of balancing blood sugar levels and reducing carbohydrate cravings.

Fish oil is great for the health, and has the ability to stimulate the fat burning genes, and slow the fat storing genes.

9) Drink plenty of water

If you want to burn body fat quickly, drink a minimum of 8 glasses of purified (filtered or boiled) water a day.

Water will flush out harmful toxins, increase your metabolism and importantly make it difficult for the body fat to accumulate.

10) Mill Flax Seeds

Great source of omega-3 fatty acids, and for women this can help reduce the amount of estrogen-16 in womens' bodies. Estrogen-16 causes fat storage in the hips and thighs.

Milled seeds can be sprinkled on salads, protein shakers or other dishes you see fit.

11) For a Healthy Body, You Need to Exercise

Go for the high intense interval training and strength training. Forget the long boring cardios.

High intensity exercises such as Turbulence Training are far more effective for fat loss and overall health.

There you have it, 11 easy ways to lose weight.

Each meal that you consume needs to have calories coming from protein, carbohydrates and fat. Your body needs each of these in small amounts throughout the day.

As well, drinking plenty of water and planning for regular workouts are great natural ways to lose weight today.
