Fat Loss 4 Idiots Review

Are there foods to eat that actually burn fat if you eat them? The answer is YES.

These foods can be incorporated any diet. should make them an essential part of your dietary regime.

What then are far burning foods? Basically, fat burning foods are foods that burn more calories than the caloric content of the foods itself.

Every farmer knows (that raises pigs) that there are certain foods which actually burn more fat than the caloric content of the food itself, so they avoid feeding these foods to their animals (which are sold by weight!).

These fat burning foods or so called negative calorie foods are natural plant foods, and also certain dairy items.

The fat burners then fall into three basic groups:
1. The Citrus group
2. The Cellulose-rich Vegetables and Fruits group
3. The Dairy group

The Citrus Group includes:
Limes
Lemons
Grapefruit
Tangerines
Oranges
Kiwi (not a citrus but extra-rich in Vitamin C, thus a fat burner)

The Cellulose-rich Vegetables and Fruits group includes:
watermelon
cabbage
asparagus
carrot
beet root
broccoli
apple
blueberries

The Dairy group includes:
Non-fat milk
Low-fat yogurt
White (fresh) cheese

A word must be mentioned about the fat-burning capacity of dairy foods.

It is now proven clinically that calcium-rich foods (especially dairy foods) assist weight loss by increasing fat breakdown in fat cells themselves.

This means that the non-fatty dairy foods are fat burners and should be included in any diet. Also the studies showed that it is not only the calcium (for example, taken as supplements), as the dairy products far out-performed simple supplements in weight loss controlled experiments.

It must also be mentioned that eating the above fat burners will help lose weight but you need to add some mild daily exercise. This can be in the form of walking or running, but it must be daily and for periods of no less than 20 to 30 minutes. The pulse-rate must climb to near 100 beats per minute, and a light sweat should appear to indicate you are helping your metabolism turn back on. The foods also will have a most positive effect on this increased metabolism.

Another interesting fact is that by eating these foods and daily exercising your body will continue to burn fat even after the exercise is completed. It also has a cumulative effect.

It must also be remembered that a strict rule of diet (and physics) is that you do not lose weight unless YOU BURN (USE) MORE CALORIES THAN YOU CONSUME. So, the logic and practical application of eating the fat-burning foods, and waking up the body by exercise, hold true.

You also do not have to count calories, as you be able to understand if you are negative calories (consumed) or positive calories (consumed) by simple weighing yourself daily.

Every year, around the middle of November, families gather to celebrate the holidays. Aunt Betty brings her special, decorated cake (the one with REAL cream in the batter), Grandma trots out her fabulous double chocolate fudge recipe and candy and cookies seem to adorn every table and office desk. The holidays are about family get-togethers but food remains at the center of all these events. Not just any food either! Fat-laden, sugary recipes full of calories but tasting oh-do-good!

Even the weather conspires to make us gain weight in the winter when cold and snow can derail the most determined work-out program. With all this against us, is it any wonder many people face January about 10 pounds heavier than they were just two short months before?

It is possible to keep your weight under control during this holiday season. Just follow these practical weight loss tips.

Moderation is the key to avoid holiday weight gain

Back to Grandmas special fudge recipe. You look forward to it every year, not to mention the fancy holiday cookies and high calorie eggnog! The good news is you dont have to pass on these treats entirely. If you have a special weakness, go ahead and eat some (and dont beat yourself up over it!). The watch word here is some. Have one piece of fudge or one cookie. Enjoy half a cup of eggnog, rather than a whole cup. You can still sample the treats you love best and still be able to face the scale in the morning.

When you arrive at dinner, take a look at the buffet table and hone in on the low calorie foods. Veggies are low calorie and filling. Even if want you enjoy some of the dips, veggies are a better choice than chips or crackers. Other safe bets are fresh fruit, salads and lean meats, like turkey.

If you fill up on low calorie foods, you can eat all you want of them and youll be too full to eat a dozen cookies!

If you drink alcohol, remember to limit how much you drink. Alcohol is loaded with empty calories and a glass or two of wine can make you forget your resolution to eat sensibly.

If youre going to attend a holiday party and you are bringing a dish, create your own veggie or fresh fruit place with a low calorie dip made with yogurt instead of sour cream. If youre the one planning the holiday event, make sure there are lots of low calorie options for your guests to choose from. Others who dont want to gain weight will thank you.

For those who love to cook, check out low calorie, healthy substitutions to try in your favorite recipes, such as 1% milk for whipping up mashed potatoes instead of cream and a heart-healthy butter substitute instead of real butter.

During the holidays, many offices are full of special treats so be prepared by bringing your own healthy treats so you arent tempted. Bring extra so you can share!

Remember, the warm glow of the holidays doesnt come from food, it comes from sharing special times with family and friends. Practice enjoying the moment with mindfulness so you can savor every moment of these special times.

Lastly, if you have a holiday party or event in the evening, eat lightly the rest of the day to save up some calories.

Exercise

During the busy holiday season, its hard to stick to your exercise routine but during the winter, especially when youre stressed and eating more than usual, its even more important to take time to exercise.

If its snowing out, put on an exercise video or play your favorite music and dance. Exercise for at least 30 minutes every day. It's the perfect way to burn off all that holiday stress.

Another way to avoid stress during the holidays is to try these relaxation methods:

Sit quietly for at least 15 minutes a day, clearing your mind and doing some deep breathing Try doing a yoga routine to a CD or video Play some relaxing music or put on some holiday favorites and sing along

Holidays can also be a time of loneliness and depression for some people. If this is you, try volunteering during the holiday season. Many charities need help during this time. Serve Christmas dinner to the homeless or collect gifts for foster children or the elderly. Get so busy you dont have time to think about food.

Get enough sleep.

This may sound simple but when evenings and weekends are packed with busy holiday events, late nights can become routine. Even during regular times, lack of sleep can lead to weight gain. Try relaxing for at least 30 minutes before going to bed to help you unwind. Make a to-do list so you wont lay awake thinking of all you details you have to attend to.

Don't forget - Enjoy your family and the holidays and dont stress out if you do have a few extra calories. Instead, go buy yourself a journal and make a list of resolutions for the new year.

Weigh in each morning

Studies have shown that people who weigh themselves every day lose more weight than those who weigh themselves weekly. This also goes for those who just dont want to gain weight. Whatever you do, don't tell yourself you'll skip the weigh-in until January.

Knowing you are going to face the scale every morning will help you eat moderately. It will also help you catch any weight gains before 2 pounds become 10 pounds.

Let's face it, being overweight has become a real problem for us. Diet companies, diet pills and supplements and gyms have become a very large business. Every single day there are hundreds of thousands of people who watch advertisements on television, read magazine ads and who do research on the internet. Everyone is looking for a quick and simple solution to their weight problem.

What makes matters even worse is that a large portion of these people try one method of weight loss, achieve some degree of success, gain the weight back and then try another method to lose weight. The big companies know this and use it to their advantage. It is an industry standard that the average consumer that habitually indulges in weight loss programs and products will change what they are doing every six months or so.

This is down right frightening. Real, healthy and enduring weight loss can only be achieved by doing our homework and implementing what we have learned. Healthy, long term weight loss requires a significant lifestyle change and not a quick fix.

The following are the things that you should seriously consider when embarking on a weight loss program that has enduring and healthy results.

1/ Before you do anything, do your homework. In this day and age, with access to the internet, anyone can learn almost anything in a relatively short period of time. The down side to this is, of course, information overload. However, with a little effort and patience one should be able to separate the important information from the junk.

There is not one single diet for everyone. Also, it is never, ever necessary to join a weight loss program that either sells you food or tells you how to eat. It is simpler and cheaper to learn what to eat and to prepare it for yourself. After all, this is not rocket science.

Get a primary education on whole, natural foods. Gaining weight and becoming fat does not happen in a vacuum. It is self evident that it is what we eat and how we live that permits us to gain those extra pounds and to get out of shape.

2/ Take the time to figure out what organic exercise program appeals to you. What I mean by that, for most people, joining a gym is not necessary and is not the best way to work out.

Do you like to walk? How about swim, jog or ride a bike? Do you enjoy an aerobic workout following along with a tape or dvd on the television? Figure out what it is that you enjoy doing and make the commitment to do it. It is that simple.

This is what you will discover. If you make the transformation of your lifestyle your primary goal, the weight loss will be effortless. The weight goals that you achieve will be healthy. It takes focus, determination and effort, but the benefits are priceless.

Many people are obsessed with losing weight these days. Even people who are in good shape spend a lot of time worrying about their weight and the state of their health. People often turn to different kinds of plans and programs to help them lose weight. They are always on the lookout for effective weight loss secrets.

The problem with this is that there really are no weight loss secrets. Doctors and researchers have worked tirelessly on the latest developments to help people lose weight, but they always end up going back to the basics. In recent years there have been many weight loss pills that have worked for some people, but these either turn out to be dangerous, or dont have the long-term effect people need to maintain their weight loss.

If you are in the hunt for weight loss secrets, you may realize that you already know them. Controlling your food intake and getting plenty of exercise is the only tried and true method. You also have to adjust your lifestyle to maintain the weight you lost. You cant go back to eating tons of fast food after youve shed a few pounds, or it will come back. Often it comes back quickly, and sometimes you gain more than you have lost in the first place.

Visiting your doctor is also one way of finding what method will work for you. They can inform you about how much calories you should have a day for your weight range, and how much exercise you should get for a long-term weight loss. Do not be quick in believing those places that offer miraculous weight loss secrets that they say will help you shed pounds quickly. These methods are often harmful; and the effects are often short lived.

Talk to your doctor before looking for weight loss secrets in a bottle. Some herbs and natural supplements can react violently with other drugs into disastrous results. Supposedly effective products like Ephedra turned out to be dangerous, and were pulled out of the market. Even though it worked for some people, others paid dearly for using it.

If you really want weight loss secrets, talk to people you trust. If you knew someone who has successfully lost weight and maintained it, ask him or her for tips. You can also find help from programs like Weight Watchers or TOPS. These programs help people by giving them a sympathetic ear and joining them in their weight loss journey. Losing weight can be easier if you have a lot of support and it may also inspire you to persevere on your mission.

Don't Sacrifice...

The first rule as believed by those who are beginners in the field of fitness, is to leave the food you love the most. Well for most not so slim people, its food like processed cheese, pizza, chicken, beef etc. Its not easy to leave what you love. Yet its easier to balance the things you love along with what is nutritious. When a nutrition schedule is drawn for you, make sure you know what is in and what is out. If its meat and eggs all week long, its way too much fat! If its too much sparrow food, then its worse. Weight loss requires a smarter plan than that.

A person needs something way too desperately then he has to sacrifice the food he loves to eat. If he is strong willed then it is a piece of cake for him to let go of his cravings. Some can eat anything and everything they want and still look lean, while others are just not that lucky. Depending on your body structure and metabolism, you have to decide which meal and what exercise is essential for you.

Unfortunately for over weight people, no matter how much they try losing weight it seems like they are pushing the Himalayas. Scary but true! Its wise not to even mirror them. Its not worth a call! You set some standards for yourself. Give either a 100 percent or even lesser, but make sure whatever you do, you stick to your word, i.e. to lose as much weight as possible. Each week, is a new week and surely a brighter one.

You need regular fitness and not a body like Hitman, then its better to have an average percentage of what is known as compliance. Compliance in layman's term means fulfillment, observance, conformity etc. Compliance in fitness means what you should adhere to and what you should avoid.

There is a theory which was suggested by one of the fitness gurus. He said, "If you eat 5 small means a day, you eat about 35 meals a week. Around 32 meals are adhered to." This in turn means that you can have 3 or maximum 4 such parties or occasions which you can make merry in.

You can be in any one of the following scenarios, a) someone who wants to lose a few inches on the waistline and look decent, or b) someone who wants a perfect 36-24-36 kind of a figure. If its scenario A then having a compliance of 100% is sheer madness. On the other hand if you wish to be scenario B then you better slog night and day. Forget you ever loved mommy's cheese cake or thanksgivings turkey. You have to keep in mind that every time you sneak and have a small piece of cake from the fridge, you not only deceive yourself but lose the chances of losing calories.

On a more serious note, eat and eat to your heart's content. It could be a chocolate brownie or just an ice cream. Just remember to count the calories, but they hatch up to your muscles, thighs and tummy.

While the majority of people recognize that exercise is necessary to effective natural weight loss, many are uncertain as to what kind of exercise they should do to get the best results. Many exercise experts disagree on what kind of exercise is best. This disagreement seems to stem from a lack of complete information regarding exercise physiology coupled with the fact that different people actually have different needs when it comes to exercise.

Let's begin with what the current research on exercise physiology tells us. It is well-established that it takes approximately 30 minutes of any kind of exercise for the body to burn off its glycogen (stored sugar) reserves and begin burning fat. Because of this, many experts will recommend half an hour to an hour of exercise to produce a good amount of weight loss. Now, if you are going to be exercising for 30 to 60 minutes, or maybe more, what type of exercise would you be able to do for that length of time? It probably would have to be low to medium intensity. In other words, you're probably not going to be able to run full speed or do any other type of high-intensity exercise for 30 to 60 minutes without a rest, unless you happen to be an elite athlete, and even then you'd be struggling. So, by default, the common recommendation for exercise to lose weight has been 30 to 60 minutes of low to medium intensity aerobic exercise. Aerobic translates to "in the presence of oxygen", which in common language means that aerobic exercise is any type of activity that you can do without gasping for breath.

In recent years, some experts have changed their recommendations to using a more intense anaerobic ("without oxygen") exercise program for weight loss. This would include things like intense weight lifting, and something called "interval training". Interval training involves brief bursts of high intensity activity with periods of rest or low intensity activity in between. For example, you might run full out for 30 seconds or a minute and then walk for a minute or two until you catch your breath and then run again full out for 30 seconds to a minute, walk again, etc.. Because this kind of workout is much more strenuous, it is performed over a much shorter period of total exercise time - about 20 to 40 minutes (at least half of which is rest time), as compared to half an hour to an hour of non-stop exercise as is recommended with low to medium intensity aerobic workouts. But how do the two types of exercise stack up when it comes to fat burning?

The aerobic exercise promoters point to the research that was mentioned earlier that has shown that any exercise, no matter how intense requires at least 30 minutes to use up the body's stored glycogen (the body will normally burn glycogen before it will burn fat) before fat burning can begin. So, they say, short periods of even highly intense exercise won't burn much fat and is therefore not a good choice for promoting weight loss. But they are only seeing part of the story.

It is true that you must exercise for at least 30 minutes to begin to achieve fat burning - but that's at the time you are exercising. Brief bursts of intense anaerobic exercise does something that even quite a lot of low to medium intensity aerobic exercise does not. Intense anaerobic exercise stimulates the production of growth hormone, which is a strong stimulator of fat burning. The thing is, the release of growth hormone triggered by intense anaerobic exercise comes 24 to 48 hours AFTER the exercise, and then it produces considerably more fat burning than is possible with all but extremely long periods of low to medium intensity aerobic exercise.

Because of this effect, most people will lose weight much more easily by doing shorter periods of more intense exercise. 20 to 40 minutes of heavy weightlifting, interval training (which could be done on foot, on a bicycle, swimming, kickboxing, etc.) , wind sprints, soccer, basketball, or any other activity with quick bursts of high intensity with periods of rest or low intensity activity in between is typically much more effective in the long run for weight loss than even hours of aerobic activity.

Now, you'll notice that I said "most people". There is an exception to the rule. Anyone who is seriously emotionally or physically stressed in his or her daily life is prone to overstimulated adrenal glands. The adrenal glands do a lot of things in the body, but with regards to weight loss, they produce two hormones. Cortisol is one of the hormones, and it stimulates fat storage in the lower abdominal area. This is typically a saggy, pendulous fat held below the waistline. The other hormone the adrenals produce is adrenaline (also called epinephrine), which actually promotes fat burning. Since the adrenals produce cortisol which causes fat deposition and adrenaline which promotes fat burning, you might assume that these two hormones cancel each other out. Unfortunately, cortisol production can be carried out by a much longer time by the adrenal glands than can the production of adrenaline, so long-term, the effects of high cortisol production (deposition of fat in the lower belly), will overcome whatever fat burning might occur from the short-term adrenaline production.

The adrenals are influenced by physical stress as well as mental stress, so for someone who is under a lot of stress in general in his or her life, high-intensity exercise will only add to the total stress and will tend to make the adrenals produce a lot of cortisol, and therefore will tend to promote lower abdomen weight gain. That's right - the wrong kind of exercise in this situation can cause weight gain! This can result in the frustrating situation in which one exercises more and more and harder and harder to try to get rid of that lower abdomen stomach "pooch", but never can seem to get rid of it. Due to the fact that the intense exercise is causing even more cortisol to be produced, their efforts are counterproductive. Because of this effect, it is recommended that people under a lot of stress and/or who have most of their weight held in the lower abdomen stick to relatively low intensity aerobic exercise. This kind of activity is usually helpful for controlling stress and reducing the level of cortisol, thereby making it easier to get rid of the deposition of fat around the lower abdomen.

I hope that this article has given you a better concept of how to maximize your exercise routine for the best possible weight loss results.

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.

It's incredible if you really think about it but do you believe that you can lose weight by drinking water? Or somehow decrease loose muscle mass? Part of the reason that people believe this is that they feel the water will somehow replace there hunger. However, by drinking more water with your meal it will not in most cases reduce the consumption of food you eat. It is a fact that if you drink large quantities of water with your meals you will feel full for a short period. But when the water leaves your stomach you will have the same hunger. The physiological trigger to cause you to stop eating in most people is to eat enough food so that you feel satisfied. Since water has no calories like food it can't satisfy that trigger. No fat loss will occur!.

For most of us our normal diets will satisfy our daily requirements for water. In fact studies have consistently shown that your normal daily diet will contain the equivalent of about 4 cups of water. Add to this the fact that the body's chemical reactions used to burn calories will add an additional two cups of water. That means under normal conditions you will already be supplying your body with 6 cups of water. Therefore in order to meet any additional needs for water can easily be satisfied by consuming a another beverage or two. FYI your additional drinks should probably be water. Drinking alcohol or beer will actually tend to increase your thirst.

Taking in extra water can easily be handled by people that have health kidneys. This is the case because your kidneys are very effective in processing any extra fluids from your body. Did you know that healthy kidneys can process up to 5 gallons of water per day with the capacity of processing up to 1/2 glass of water every 15 minutes? In fact if you do manage to exceed that capacity you will most likely develop nausea,headache and even seizures. The main question would be why would you? We have already established that extra water does aid weight loss.

In Conclusion

Now that you have read this article you will understand that a lot of the foods used in weight loss regimens work because they don't have a lot of calories yet fill you up. This is because they are high in water content and fiber. They also tend to take an inordinate amount of time to digest meaning the fiber in your stomach that has swelled because of the water will keep that full feeling going for some time. When you feel full you will tend to eat less and that is how that works. So if you are wanting to lose weight then don't think drinking large quantities of water will assist you. Choose to eat more beans, whole grains, vegetables and fruits.

Weight loss body wraps have been all the craze this year. But, you're probably wondering if its really possible if they could work? How could body wraps enable you burn fat and lose weight? Sounds impossible, but read on to find out how.

The Science Behind Weight Loss Body Wraps

Weight loss body wraps enable a variety of processes which facilitate both inch loss and the ability to better metabolize fat.

The first process is called lymphatic drainage. This process is also incited during some types of special massage. During this process, the interstitial fluids (lymph) in your fat cells, is allowed to move freely and transports your fatty acids and toxins out of your body as waste. These fluids contain harmful impurities which your body has stored from the processed foods we eat and the air we breathe. Losing these fluids will allow you to lose inches immediately.

The second process is called lipolysis. This is the huge one. Most body wraps that you find on the internet and such, will not stimulate lipolysis. This is what identifies a true weight loss body wrap. Lipolysis is the breakdown of fat stored in your fat cells! By breaking down this fat, and stimulating lymphatic drainage and circulation, your fatty acids are carried out of your body as waste.

The third process is called micro-circulation. This is basically the blood flow through your tiniest of capillaries. The active state of this process is critical for weight loss body wrap to truly enable weight loss. Your fat cells are engrossed with miles of capillaries and for your fat cells to expel waste and toxins properly, your capillaries must be stimulated to circulate blood appropriately.

Brandon Walsh is considered an expert author in the fields of biblical nutrition, weight loss, and healthy living.

The reason why many of us are frantically looking for solutions to lose weight fast is because we want ourselves to appear to other people as being more confident, attractive, and also to reduce the risks that comes along with being over-weight, such as suffering from heart attacks, strokes, etc.

If you want to lose weight fast, and effectively, you'll have to change the following 4 aspects in your life, and they are - what you eat, how you eat, your behavior and your activity level.

Here are some fast weight loss tips you can apply right away:

1. Before you start any weight loss regimes, remember that the whole process composes of a multi-faceted technique consisting of mindset, exercise, and in other cases, diet supplements. Commence your weight loss regime by having a diet food plan that you can easily get accustomed with. Also, you'll have to incorporate an exercise plan that can consist of activities such as brisk walking, running, swimming, or even dancing. By exercising, you are also building up your body muscles and this helps to make you look good as well. Also, remember that muscles help to burn more calories - whether it is working or resting - so the more muscles you develop, the more calories you'll be able to burn, and the more weight you'll be able to lose.

2. You have to set realistic approaches - By developing a positive mindset, having a positive attitude toward the whole weight loss process, and setting realistic weight loss goals, it will help you quickly lose more pounds compared to when you do not have developed them.

3. Listen to your own body - Each and everyone's body metabolism rate reacts different to different weight loss programs, techniques and plans. When you adopt a weight loss strategy - such as exercising, you have to plan it at a level that your body can accept. For example, some people's body can accept rigorous exercising but some can not.

4. Eat more food containing fibers - By eating fiber-rich foods, it will make your stomach full faster and also stays in your tummy longer - slowing down your body's rate of digestion. A single serving of whole grain bread moves fat through the digestive system faster. Grains turn into blood sugar that spikes your body's insulin level, making your body more energized.

5. Stay away from fried foods, especially deed-fried ones, as deep fried foods contain a great amount of fat. Opt for grilled foods instead as grilled foods contain much lesser amount of fats.

6. Drinks lots of water - drinking at least 6 to 8 glasses of water daily keeps your body refreshed. Since how fast/slow your body loses weight depends on how your body eliminates waste, it is important that your body must stay hydrated.

Losing weight involves consuming less calories than you burn. However, that is easier said than done. For many people, a healthy diet and exercise helps them burn enough calories to lose the weight and keep it off. Yet due to genetics or perhaps years of bad habits, diet and exercise alone may not be enough for some people. In this case, a weight loss supplement may be the final key to successful weight loss.

After determining a healthy diet (try a nutritionist) and exercise plan (try a personal trainer), following these plans should show results after 2 to 4 weeks of discipline. If you are severely obese or nothing seems to be working, a weight loss supplement can speed up your metabolism, or at least inhibit your need to continually snack on processed foods. These can give you the final edge if the last few pounds wont come off, or work as a placebo so you work harder to lose the weight.

Weight loss supplements are available in several forms, including prescription, over-the-counter drugs, and herbal supplements. All diet pills are regulated by the FDA. The most popular products work by suppressing your appetite, raising your metabolism levels, or blocking fat from digesting in your body. Most products contain a combination of herbs, vitamins, and drugs that your body uses to burn fat more efficiently. Each product produces different results for each individual, and one type of weight loss supplement is not known to be superior.

However, an appetite suppressant may be useful for anyone trying to lose weight since most of us overeat. With the availability of food and advertising, it can be difficult to eat smaller portions. By finishing off more food on your plate, or nibbling before dinner, you may be unconsciously eating more, and gaining more weight as time goes on. It can be easy to pack on a few pounds each year, which can easily translate into a 30 pound bulge within a few years. Using an appetite suppressant or caloric restrictor such as Akavar 20/50 can prevent you from overeating and gaining weight. It can also help you eat less each day, so you burn more calories than you consumer and lose weight. Try also to drink more water and eat a balanced diet to make the weight loss supplement as effective as possible.

Injuries upset competitive athletes because they know their competitors are still training. They can maintain fitness by using a training technique called cross transference, and so can you. Exercising one leg or arm helps to maintain strength, endurance and power in the other limb. The muscles in the injured limb are not strengthened directly because they are not being used. Cross transference strengthens nerves in both limbs, even though only one is being exercised (Journal of Applied Physiology, November 2005). Each muscle is made of millions of fibers, and each fiber is stimulated by a single nerve.

When you exercise, your brain sends messages along these nerves, telling only about five percent of the nerves to contract at the same time. With training, your brain learns to contract a greater percentage of muscle fibers simultaneously. The more you practice a specific exercise, the greater percentage of your muscle fibers you can contract at the same time. When you stop exercising, your brain quickly loses its ability to contract as many fibers at the same time and you lose strength, endurance and coordination. However, if you continue to exercise one arm, your brain retains its ability to contract the fibers in the opposite arm. This concept applies only to opposite limbs; you can maintain strength in an injured arm by continuing to exercise the uninjured one, but exercising your legs will not strengthen your arms and vice versa. So if you are a runner who injures a leg muscle, you can work the uninjured leg on resistance machines to keep up the strength of both legs. If you are a baseball pitcher, you can help to maintain strength in an injured arm by using your other arm to throw and do resistance exercises.

Don't Sacrifice...

The first rule as believed by those who are beginners in the field of fitness, is to leave the food you love the most. Well for most not so slim people, its food like processed cheese, pizza, chicken, beef etc. Its not easy to leave what you love. Yet its easier to balance the things you love along with what is nutritious. When a nutrition schedule is drawn for you, make sure you know what is in and what is out. If its meat and eggs all week long, its way too much fat! If its too much sparrow food, then its worse. Weight loss requires a smarter plan than that.

A person needs something way too desperately then he has to sacrifice the food he loves to eat. If he is strong willed then it is a piece of cake for him to let go of his cravings. Some can eat anything and everything they want and still look lean, while others are just not that lucky. Depending on your body structure and metabolism, you have to decide which meal and what exercise is essential for you.

Unfortunately for over weight people, no matter how much they try losing weight it seems like they are pushing the Himalayas. Scary but true! Its wise not to even mirror them. Its not worth a call! You set some standards for yourself. Give either a 100 percent or even lesser, but make sure whatever you do, you stick to your word, i.e. to lose as much weight as possible. Each week, is a new week and surely a brighter one.

You need regular fitness and not a body like Hitman, then its better to have an average percentage of what is known as compliance. Compliance in layman's term means fulfillment, observance, conformity etc. Compliance in fitness means what you should adhere to and what you should avoid.

There is a theory which was suggested by one of the fitness gurus. He said, "If you eat 5 small means a day, you eat about 35 meals a week. Around 32 meals are adhered to." This in turn means that you can have 3 or maximum 4 such parties or occasions which you can make merry in.

You can be in any one of the following scenarios, a) someone who wants to lose a few inches on the waistline and look decent, or b) someone who wants a perfect 36-24-36 kind of a figure. If its scenario A then having a compliance of 100% is sheer madness. On the other hand if you wish to be scenario B then you better slog night and day. Forget you ever loved mommy's cheese cake or thanksgivings turkey. You have to keep in mind that every time you sneak and have a small piece of cake from the fridge, you not only deceive yourself but lose the chances of losing calories.

On a more serious note, eat and eat to your heart's content. It could be a chocolate brownie or just an ice cream. Just remember to count the calories, but they hatch up to your muscles, thighs and tummy.

I mentioned this as a comment to a previous post, but I thought it deserved its own post as well. If you havent exercised in a long time and have gotten out of shape, mild interval training is a good way to rebuild endurance and cardiovascular fitness without killing yourself.

Lets say your exercise of choice is running. Maybe you can only manage to run a few minutes before your heart feels like its about to explode out of your chest and youre forced to stop for fear of passing out. Its going to take you a while to build up to 30 minutes if you simply run your maximum each day and then stop.

So instead of that, try running 1 minute then walking 1 minute, repeating this cycle for as long as you can. Youll find that you can go much further without overtaxing your heart and muscles. Maybe you can even go 10-20 minutes your first time. If run 1 walk 1 is too hard, try run 1 walk 2 or run 2 walk 3. Experiment to see what intervals work best for you. If your heart is still racing after the walking interval, increase the walking interval and/or reduce the running interval.

I recommend you aim for an initial interval that allows you to do the most amount of running in a 25 minute period. If you can only manage run 1 walk 4, thats fine. Take a week to experiment with different intervals if you need to, but find one that allows you to go 25 minutes total (even if its run 1 walk 24). You should be physically challenged but not to the point of feeling nauseous or faint.

Once youre able to go 25 minutes, gradually increase the running time and reduce the walking time. Aim to reach run 1 walk 1 for 25 minutes for an initial goal. Be patient as it may take you a few weeks to get there if youre starting with a longer walking interval.

Next, gradually increase the running period while keeping the walking period at 1 minute. Go from run 1 walk 1 to run 1:30 walk 1. Then try run 2 walk 1. Keep extending your running intervals until you can manage run 8 walk 1 for 25 minutes.

Now keep those intervals the same, and gradually build your time from 25 minutes to 45 minutes. Dont worry about distance, and dont be concerned if you run a little slower. Just put in the time. Aim to increase the total time by about 10% per week, which roughly averages out to adding about 30 seconds per day.

Once you can do run 8 walk 1 for 45 minutes, you can switch to running continuously. Youll likely find youre able to do 25 minutes continuously without any trouble. After that you can continue to increase the distance, build your speed, do harder forms of interval training, or just maintain your current routine.

The advantage of this type of interval training is that youre still spending most of the time in your aerobic range, so your circulatory system will get the benefit of that conditioning. If youre out of shape, the running intervals will spike your heart rate quickly, and your heart rate will take a while to come back down, so even while walking youll still be mostly in the aerobic range. But youll avoid burning out from having your heart rate get too high. Walking wont tire your muscles as much as running, so your legs wont give out as quickly, and you wont be quite as sore after your runs.

You can adapt this idea to other aerobic exercises as well. For swimming you can switch to a slower stroke or a glide. For bike riding you can coast instead of pedal hard.

This technique is also useful for distance running. Some people run marathons in a pattern of run 7 walk 1 (or similar intervals), and they often find their finishing times are better vs. when they run continuously. The brief walking periods slow you down in the early miles, but they make up for it in later miles by keeping your running muscles fresh. So you end up maintaining an even pace even through those last 6 miles where many people hit the wall. I once used a run 7 walk 1 pattern for a 13-mile training run, and I finished in 2 hours, which was a good time for me. I felt I was running strong all the way without dragging at the end.

Even if youre terribly out of shape, you can use mild interval training to rebuild your fitness to a healthy level without causing yourself tremendous pain and discomfort. And it probably wont take that long. A typical marathon training program can take you from running 3 miles to running 26.2 miles in six months, and that requires much more time and effort than going from 0 to 3 miles.

Many women have a hard time losing weight post pregnancy, but there is light at the end of the tunnel.

"I've always believed if it took you 9 months to gain it, give yourself 9 months to get rid of it"

Have NO high expectations of this quick weight loss diets and fads, as it could be detrimental to your health and of your child's. Enjoy the time you have with no worry or hassles in the first few weeks as this time is best spent bonding with your new baby, and for you to recover mentally and physically after the birth.

Breastfeeding is the most natural and healthy way of nourishing your new baby. A mother's breast milk provides sufficient nutrients and a certain amount of antibodies from the mother that may help the baby to resist infections.

A mother has to eat double the amount of calories per day to sustain a high quality supply of breast milk. But don't let that fool you into eating whatever is in sight. By simply making sure that you remain well nourished by eating a healthy diet, gentle exercise and eating small snacks regularly and at least drinking 2 litres of water a day.

These things combined have shown to assist in gradual weight loss whilst providing an adequate supply of quality breast milk for your baby.

Breast milk is the primary source of food for a baby up until the age of 6mths that's when the infants iron stores are starting to run low. This is when solids are slowly introduced.

During this 6 month period and beyond, breastfeeding has many health benefits for the mother. One being the closeness that a mother and baby feel while feeding, the calming effect it has on him/her and the retracting of the mother's uterus, back to post pregnancy size.

For many mothers breastfeeding along with a healthy diet is the perfect combination for steady weight loss.

Breastfeeding places a great demand on mother's blood sugar supply and if the diet is not adequate in complex carbohydrate foods, sugar cravings and extreme hunger may occur.

By eating 3 healthy small portioned meals a day with snacks in between you will be soon on your way to a slimmer you. Eating every two to three hours helps maintain a good blood sugar supply and controls hunger.

Some simple suggestions for snack foods are:

Full Fat Yoghurt's Lots of fresh fruit & vegetables Rice crackers and cheeses At least 2 litres of water per day

Foods to avoid when the cravings attack are:

Refined foods i.e. fast foods Low fat foods (not giving you the calories to supply quality milk) Sweet biscuit, cakes Soft drinks, coffee & cordials

Don't expect the weight to just drop off, it takes time we all know that, but by following these basic steps you will be heading in the right direction to a slimmer you.

A word of caution: your weight loss plan is probably doomed.

As you probably remember, you just got over the holiday season. You spent a week stuffing your face with everything, from chocolates to cookies, like there's no tomorrow. And the result? You're afraid to step on the scale or look at yourself in the mirror because your weight has soared.

It's probably about then that you decided that you need to start losing weight. But even if you were to put yourself on a starvation diet and spent 6 hours a day on the treadmill, you would probably still not lose weight as effectively as you could with this simple mental exercise - goal-setting!

How do you set goals? Before we go any further, I want to set something straight - goals that you set should be SMART! SMART is a business acronym that stands for Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Time-Bound. In essence, when you set a weight loss goal, it should be:

• Specific - for example, "I will lose weight by exercising 5 times a week and eating no more than 2,000 calories a day"
• Measurable - for example, "I will lose 20 pounds"
• Attainable - your goal needs to push you slightly beyond the limit of your capabilities, but not so far as to make it impossible to achieve. For example, losing 20 pounds when you weight 300 is achievable; losing 200 pounds is not (or not yet, at least)
• Realistic - in this case, it means that you have the resources and the knowledge to accomplish the goal. For example, exercising 3 times a day if you will be travelling every day for the next two weeks is not realistic
• Time-Bound - for example, "I will meet my weight loss goal by the end of March 2008"

Here's what this is all about - effective, SMART goals will keep you motivated and stop you from giving up on your weight loss process. You will be able to keep track of your progress and stop yourself from deviating from your plan of action. But here's the real kicker - SMART goal setting takes very little time but increases your likelihood of meeting your diet objectives by a whooping 84%.

As you can see, goal-setting is an extremely powerful - and often overlooked - component of any weight loss effort. But here's something else to keep in mind - goal-setting will also allow you to improve your weight loss effort by being able to tell exactly what works and what doesn't. For example, if you set a goal and it is clear that you are not meeting it in time, you will notice it much earlier and hopefully identify a way to improve the weight loss process.

There are many people successful in losing weight, while others have a tougher time. For example, many try fad diets and take weight loss pills with the hopes of dropping a ton of weight in a month. However, most drop out within a month. Why does that happen? It could be a couple of things. Some fad diets are too strict and weight loss pills are irritating because they are loaded with caffeine. Plus, the instant gratification in our society doesn't manage our expectations to well. We want to get results way too fast. Most of the time we set our goals way out of reach without learning the things we really need to do to lose weight. That could be a very big reason why we drop our weight loss programs so quickly after we start them. Losing weight starts with knowing the right things to do and using the knowledge you learned to keep up healthy habits for the rest of your life. If you want to know how to burn fat fast, here are four suggestions to help you get started.

Before you start any diet or exercise program, be sure to visit your doctor. Get a check up and some blood work done to make sure you're healthy. Also, get advisement from your doctor. The doctor may have nutrition information specific for your body type. Remember, there is not a "one size fits all" program to burn fat, so seeing your doctor is a good first step.

Next, crash dieting should be out of your plan. Remember, your body has its own survival mechanism. So if you decide to starve yourself. The body will work harder to sustain your life and keep itself from starving by trying to keep the stored fat on your body. So you need to eat and eat frequently (like every 3 hours).

Thirdly, you'll need to incorporate a fruits or a vegetable into most of your meals during the day. This helps you in several ways. For one, they are very nutritious foods and they provide antioxidants (which are very healthy for your body). They also fill you up more when you eat them with your meal.

Finally frequent exercise should be included in your fat loss efforts. You should try to exercise 2-3 days a week to start and build from there. Exercise will help you burn extra calories. However, exercise will be very effective in your weight loss efforts only if you have a good diet.

Using the four methods described above will help you get started on the road to burning fat and losing that extra weight. The main thing is that you start and stick with the basics.

Q: How bad are French Fries?

Answer:I think the best description for French Fries is 'edible cancer sticks'. However, unlike the original cancer sticks (cigarettes), French Fries make you gain weight.

According to my friend Jon Herring at ETR.com, we should also stay away from potato chips, baked cereals, taco shells, crackers, cookies, etc. Each of these contains simple carbohydrates and deadly trans-fats.

Q: When you recommend eating more vegetables, what do you mean, can I have an example? Anything specifically?

Answer:Vegetables help fill you up and reduce your appetite. They also help control your blood sugar and insulin levels. These are essential factors in helping you lose body fat and having more weight loss.

At each meal, eat 1 cup of one of these vegetables. Try to eat a variety of vegetables every day.broccoli
cauliflower ,br>spinach
field greens
green beans
asparagus
peas
brussel sprouts
etc.

Q: What goes into the garden salad?

Answer:Field greens, tomatoes, mushrooms, carrots, peppers, onions, perhaps some strawberries, and a small amount of cheese or nuts. Make sure the added cheese and nuts fits into your recommended daily calorie plan. You can also throw in a chicken breast or salmon fillet to get your protein source this way.

Remember that we are going for a salad or serving of fibrous vegetables prior to or with each meal.

Q: How much extra virgin olive oil do you use?

Answer:1-2 teaspoons. Just drizzle on just enough to enhance the salad. Really, the whole key here is to retrain your taste buds to appreciate REAL food again (and say goodbye to the sugar, salt, and trans-fat of the Western Lifestyle).

Fresh produce is amazing when you can get quality produce (which really shouldn't be hard). I want everyone to aim to make small improvements in their vegetable intake on a daily or weekly basis, especially if you say "Eww" to the list above.

Q: What type of protein bar should I eat, thought they were bad?

Answer:Anything that is low-sugar and tastes good. If nothing meets these standards, then consider homemade protein bars (search for the recipes on google), or try to find nitrate-free meat sticks/meat products. Alternatively, any high protein snack will do.

I use organic beef jerkey as a portable protein snack.

Q: Is a post-workout drink containing simple carbohydrates and protein the best for a post workout shake? Or should I just have protein?

Answer:Dr. Chris Mohr recommends carbohydrate and protein after a workout. You can easily get this in chocolate milk, or from fruit and a protein shake.

I am on a trend to avoid high-glycemic liquid sugar sources with my clients, and so far, the results are turning out to be great.

Whey protein and weight loss might seem like water and oil; they just dont' go together. This is probably because for years protein supplements were the preferred choice of only elite bodybuilders. We pictured these athletes bulking up by adding extra protein to their diet.

Bodybuilders bulk up by lifting weights and not by consuming protein. If all you did was add more protein to your diet you would gain fat and not muscle. However, if you are eating the proper amount of lean protein as part of a balanced daily diet you can turn your body into a fat-burning machine.

Whey protein is found in many weight loss products and meal replacement food items. It is the whey protein isolates that are especially desirable for weight loss because of their low-fat and low-carbohydrate content. When you combine the proper amount of whey protein and a well-rounded exercise program you will build lean muscle mass. This muscle will burn more calories and start melting away your excess body fat.

You would probably agree with most other dieters that it is hunger that usually wins out over your desire to lose weight. Calorie-restricting diets have this very natural effect on our bodies. Severely reducing calories is never successful for long term weight loss. But hunger makes creating a moderate calorie deficit difficult. Whey protein has been shown to combat these feelings of hunger by promoting hormones responsible for appetite suppression. This can significantly contribute to your weight loss program by preventing late night snacking and even binge eating at the end of the day.

Whey protein and weight loss have also been linked because of whey protein's ability to prevent stress eating. Maybe you've eaten a handful of cookies and afterward realized that you weren't even hungry at the time. We've all done this and many times it is related to stress. That is why stress and obesity are closely related. Whey protein stimulates the production of a natural relaxation hormone, serotonin. Serotonin lowers anxiety levels and helps stop us from stress eating. For many people, this alone will help them lose weight and body fat.

We are well aware of the rise in obesity and diabetes. Whey protein and weight loss have been researched to determine if whey has an effect on insulin sensitivity. It does appear that whey protein improves insulin sensitivity and aids in weight loss through this mechanism.

If you are going to lose weight exercise will be an important part of the process. Whey protein helps you maximize the weight loss benefits of exercise. Research has shown that whey protein helps you gain lean muscle mass when you work out and this muscle increases your body's ability to burn fat.

Based on scientific research and the experience of many successful losers of body fat, a whey protein shake might be a great-tasting addition to your list of foods that will help you lose those extra 10 pounds.

Although most people talk a lot about losing weight, what they really mean is that they want to lose fat, right? I've never heard anyone say they want to lose the lean muscle they have on their body. That means that the key to looking toned is to burn off fat without losing the muscle. In order to accomplish this you should focus your fat loss efforts on doing fat burning exercises while eating the right foods that provide energy to your muscles while still allowing you to lose fat. Here are some tips on the types of fat burning exercises that will give you the best results and give you a sleek, toned physique.

When you start looking for fat burning exercises you are going to run across a lot of people who say doing cardio is the answer to fat loss. I won't argue that cardio exercises are a great way to burn a lot of calories. However, to burn fat more quickly you should focus your workout efforts on strength training and adding lean muscle mass to your body. Let me explain why.

Our metabolisms run faster or slower based on the amount of muscle that we have in our bodies. The more muscle you have the faster your metabolism is going to run. That means that not only will losing fat be easier if you have more muscle, but it will also be easier to keep the fat off for good.

Focusing solely on cardio exercises will get the job done over time, however, you will see faster fat loss results if you focus your main efforts on strength training than cardio, although ideally you will do both for the fastest results. A lot of women get turned off by the idea of building muscle because they are afraid that they are going to bulk up and get bigger. In fact, though, that won't happen unless you want it to since it takes a lot of effort for women to build large muscles. Instead, what will happen is that when a woman adds lean muscle to her body the fat will melt away and her body will become sleek and toned.

To make the most of your workouts start with your strength training before you do your cardio. Try focusing your workouts on the large muscle groups in your body like your legs and glutes by doing lunges and squats since these larger muscles will boost your metabolism the fastest. Follow your strength training with some cardio and before you know it your body will be looking great.
