Open The Doorway To Great Sex: With Weight Control Through Diet And Exercise
By Brenda Skidmore
The benefits of great sex are well known for the mood enhancement it produces in those who participate in it on a regular basis. The power to make great sex a priority in your life, if it's less exciting than you'd like, is in the mind with a 'can do' attitude. Feeling sexy and self-confident is really just a state of mind.
Those mood enhancers that I previously mentioned are called endorphins. They are the 'feel good' chemicals the brain releases when pleasurable events or substances are enjoyed. This pleasurable stimuli can be food, alcohol, drugs, and yes even sex.
So it stands to reason, the more often you participate in pleasurable sex, the more often you get to experience those wonderful and addictive endorphin releases!
These pleasurable 'feel good' brain chemicals are also important stress reducers, and stress is the number one contributor to weight gain.
People who are overweight often have a poor self-image that inhibits their attitude towards having sex. This will in time, and with age, affect an individual's desire and frequency to have sex with their partner.
Since engaging in healthy, loving, and pleasurable sex is considered a beneficial physical exercise, having frequent sex can have an impact on reducing your weight by:
1.Burning up to 150 to 200 calories per half hour, and apart from being a lot of fun, it is just as beneficial as any other form of physical activity.
2.Sex does not have to be extremely aerobic to benefit from the physical exertion. Experiment with different positions by moving around more often.
3.Remember, people who are lonely often over eat to comfort themselves out of frustration to being stressed and feeling unloved. By having frequent sex, you will be more able to control your weight, reduce physical stress, and be less tempted to over eat.
Consider the fact that being in love or out of love can be two of the best known diets out there. Both can be strong motivators in controlling or losing control of an individual's weight. . When you can see the importance of feeding your mind and body a daily dose of healthy nutrients, it will reward you by being more able and willing to perform this good for you and healthy activity.
The weight loss will be an added side effect to increase your joy and self confidence in rediscovering great sex!
Here is where diet can play a huge roll in better sex:
1.Avoid or limit fast junk foods, they are excessive sources of trans-fats and sugars. Do increase healthy fats like omega-3.
2.Concentrate on eating more whole unprocessed foods. Include more whole grains, seeds, nuts, and legumes.
3.Do include more complex carbohydrates such as vegetables and fruits, strive for 5 servings a day.
4.Don't skip certain food groups, eat a wide variety of foods from each group.
5.Limit negative beverages such as alcohol, coffee, and sugar laden drinks. Increase your water intake considerably.
Not only will increasing your water intake keep excessive weight in check and within your control, an added benefit of adequate hydration is in increased energy for sexual performance.
In F. Batmanghjelidj M.D.'s mind-opening book, 'Your Body's Many Cries For Water', pg. 132, he comments,”When the body is well hydrated, all of the prerequisites to a satisfying sex life and more than adequate libido will be in place. In addition, one or two glasses before 'the event' will help in achieving a firmer and sustained erection in men and the joys of participation in women”.
My thoughts in closing are this, what binds all these pieces of information together is a dash of positive thoughts. If you believe you are hot in the bedroom, you can and will be!
Brenda Skidmore has spent the last three years researching natural health care alternatives. She can attest to the many benefits of natural practical cures and preventive strategies for human health. Along with the many medical professionals whose published works she has studied. It is her sincere desire to bring forth this knowledge for the betterment of mankind.

Eliminate Body Fat
By Chris Chenoweth
All the hype about losing weight and burning fat boils down to one simple fact, you must use up more calories than you take in. If you eat more calories than your body needs to function effectively, the additional calories will be stored as fat.
To prevent the fat from building up you must either decrease your calorie intake or increase your physical activity. The best option would be to combine both. The more fat you want to lose, the more calories need to be burned.
Regular exercise, especially aerobic exercise combined with a healthy balanced diet, is the most effective way to increase your body’s ability to burn calories. The advantage to regular exercise is your body will become a more efficient fat-burner, allowing you to consume more calories!
Before you make any changes to your diet by reducing your calorie intake, remember, you must never deprive your body of food. Limiting your food intake too drastically will cause your body to go into survival mode, slowing down metabolism.
A decrease in the metabolism rate will decrease your body’s ability to burn off excess calories. Over time, the metabolism will continue to slow down, making it much more difficult to lose weight and keep it off.
What can you do to help your body lose weight in healthy ways? Try some of the tips listed below:
*EAT LOW FAT – Eat a diet low in saturated fats and trans fatty acids (beef, veal, lamb, pork, lard, butter, cream, whole milk dairy products and can be present in processed foods like frozen dinners and some canned food) and high in monounsaturated fats (olive oil, flaxseed oil, peanut oil and avocados).
*EAT COMPLEX CARBOHYDRATES – Eat a diet rich in complex carbohydrates (fruit, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes).
*EAT LEAN PROTEINS – Choose lean meats, poultry, and fish. Bake, broil, or grill. Do not fry! Beans, nuts and seeds also provide protein.
*AVOID SUGAR – Avoid foods containing sugar. You know what they are! Always check food labels to see how much sugar is present. Some foods contain sugar that may surprise you.
*AVOID ALCOHOL – Avoid alcohol. If you must drink, limit intake to one drink a day. Alcohol can increase your risk of many conditions, including some types of cancers, and slow down your metabolism.
*EAT SMALLER PORTIONS REGULARLY - Eating every 3-4 hours revs up your metabolism, burning fat quicker and more efficiently. Your body will not get hungry in this way.
*DRINK WATER – Drink lots of water, at least 8 glasses a day. Sip slowly throughout the day. Water speeds up metabolism and flushes toxins out of your body.
*INCREASE YOUR ACTIVITY LEVEL – Walk to work or park your car in the parking space farthest from your destination. Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Go biking with your kids. Work in the yard, clean house with a little more vigor. Any activity is good for you body.
*ALL THINGS IN MODERATION – Remember, whatever you do, do in moderation. Enjoy your food, but do not stuff yourself. You will regret it later.
Eliminating body fat is all about balancing what you eat and how much you move. Eat a healthy diet in moderate amounts and participate in some kind of daily physical activity. The combination will make you feel better, look better and be healthier.

Do You Have Time to Lose Weight Before Christmas?
By Sophie Dexter
How many weeks do you have to go before Christmas? And before you say anything, it's never too early to start thinking about how to lose some weight before the festive period.
Perhaps you should think about having a few goals.
If you can lose 1 lb a week by Christmas how many pounds will you be down?
Figure it out and you could be down a dress size by Christmas day. That would make a lot of difference, not least to your confidence.
Just imagine how shocked your family will be, especially those who haven't seen you since last Christmas. They may not even recognise the new you!
Do you have a weight loss goal to meet by Christmas?
It is always a very good idea to set goals and also rewards which are triggered when you meet those goals.
You need to set yourself weight reduction targets and reward yourself when they are met. Of course, the reward shouldn't be food-based but if you use your imagination you can think of all kinds of special treats.
What about if you promise yourself that you'll have your hair or nails done? Or you could treat yourself to a special night out with your partner or kids when you've reached a certain point.
Keep setting goals and rewards as you go along and they will spur you on to your main goal - your ideal weight.
Back to Christmas...
Every year you discuss presents, your budget and where you are going to spend Christmas but you also need to address the subject of food and how it relates to your weight loss agenda.
It's not a good idea to just do the same thing every year simply because that is "what is done".
You can still do the big turkey but you can also save calories by making it healthy. Instead of crashing out on the couch after Christmas dinner, why not go for a walk with the family?
It may not be the "normal" routine that your family has at Christmas but perhaps it's time for you to start a new tradition - one that assists you with your ultimate goal of losing that weight for good.

6 Ways to Boost Your Metabolism & Lose Weight
By Craig Ballantyne
Everyone wants to know how you can increase your metabolism. It is like it is the magic bullet for fat loss. But what is this mysterious “metabolism” and how can you control it and manipulate it to work for you and to help you burn fat?
The word metabolism refers to how many calories you burn each day. It is controlled by many factors, including your hormone levels, your activity levels, the amount and type of food you eat, the amount of rest and recovery you get, your stress levels, and your genetics. You can temporarily increase your metabolism with exercise and you can increase your metabolism long-tem by adding muscle, losing fat, and eating whole, natural foods.
So if you increase your metabolism, you will burn more calories and lose more fat - and that is what I am going to do in this newsletter so that you will be able to burn fat and build muscle all day long.
But if any of the metabolic-control factors gets messed up, then your metabolism can slow down. This can be very bad for your body composition, leading to fat gain. Aside from some type of medical condition, the main factor for a slow metabolism is poor lifestyle choices. Living the Westernized-lifestyle is a sure way to slow your metabolism.
The Westernized lifestyle is characterized by:Eating a high-carbohydrate, high-fat dietEating 1-2 large meals per day onlyConsuming alcohol on a frequent basisNot exercising, or choosing to perform only slow duration, steady-state exercise and avoiding strength training for muscle massGetting small amounts of low-quality sleepNot having coping strategies to deal with excessive amounts of stressSkipping meals in order to lose weight
Being overweight does not necessarily mean that you had a slow metabolism, but becoming overweight can lead to an even slower metabolism. And that can create a cycle of gaining weight leading to a slower metabolism leading to gaining weight, etc. Then what happens when people realize they have a slower metabolism? They start to eat less of course. And that too can lead to an even slower metabolism still.
So what to do?
The answer is really simple. You just have to get organized, educated, and motivated to avoid living the Western-lifestyle. Now I can educate you on the daily, step-by-step methods to change, but you have to be committed. But if you’ve come this far with the newsletter, than I know you can do it.
Here’s how you should get started on living the metabolism boosting lifestyle:
1. Visualize yourself being successful as you start your new lifestyle. You have a much greater chance of succeeding if you think positively.
2. Make a list of 3 short-term and 3 long-term goals. Post these goals in places that you will see them everyday. When you reach a goal, set a new one.
Short-term goals
________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________
Long-term goals
________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________
3. Stop buying Western lifestyle foods (i.e. processed carbs) and switch to fruits, vegetables, protein, and nuts. Now that's a metabolism-boosting grocery list!
4. Add strength training to your workouts.
5. Add interval training to your workout, and drop the slow boring cardio.
6. Eat 6 small mini-meals each day, rather than 2 large meals.
Those are 6 guaranteed steps to help you boost your metabolism and lose weight. Stay consistent, and you'll have a new body in no time!

Top 7 Weight Loss Mistakes
By Craig Ballantyne
Seven Mistakes People Make When Trying to Lose Fat
1. They fail to consider the consequences of their actions.
Alwyn Cosgrove (one of the top trainers in the business) once told me, "I get my clients to think, "Will this help me or not? Is this a positive step or not?" If you can see that every action that you take is either helping you lose fat or stopping you from losing fat, then you will start to make better choices. So remember that everything you put in your mouth is either for or against fat loss. And every exercise choice you make is either for or against fat loss. "Get that", Alwyn says, "and you’re a hit."
2. They neglect to control their insulin and blood sugar levels - 2 key factors in determining whether or not the body fat will come off.
If you eat processed foods you are guaranteed to elevate your insulin & blood sugar levels. If you do that, your body sends the message, “Store fat!”, and you won’t make any progress. So avoid white-flour based bakery products, sugary drinks, and almost any carbohydrate snack that comes in a bag or a box.
3. They train like it’s the 80’s.
Yes, I know. Eighties music is popular again. But that doesn’t mean ineffective training methods from the 80’s like light weights, low intensity steady state cardio, and endless low-intensity ab work should also make a comeback. That type of training should stay buried in the back issues of cheesy muscle magazines. Stick to strength training and interval training for efficient and effective body changing routines.
4. They don’t take 30 minutes to plan their next day’s food intake.
If you fail to do this, you will set your fat loss efforts back by a minimum of 72 hours. Without a good meal plan, you are left to hunt and gather food in the modern world. And that’s a recipe for fat loss disaster. You are bound to eat something processed if you aren’t prepared. You will lose the fat burning benefits from yesterday’s workout and it will take until the end of the following day to get back on track. An entire 72-hour period wasted.
5. They don’t eat enough vegetables.
We can thank John Berardi for making it common knowledge that you should eat fibrous vegetables at every meal to assist your fat loss efforts. By doing so, you’ll control your blood sugar and insulin - thus supporting the optimal hormonal situation for fat loss.
6. They screw up their hormones with poor lifestyle choices.
If you are out boozing and staying up late on the weekend, you are shutting down your fat loss and messing up the optimal hormonal environment for fat burning. I will talk a lot more about the optimal hormonal levels for fat loss, as I believe this is the underrated key to building your best body ever.
7. They don’t plan and monitor their training sessions.
If you are still going to the gym without a plan, then you are going to have a hard time losing fat. And if you aren’t recording your workouts and eating habits, then you aren’t losing as much fat as you probably can. To fix this mistake, start by getting on track with strength training and interval training. It’s guaranteed to get you lean.

Weight Loss: Easing Into Exercise
By Donovan Baldwin
Okay, let's just accept the fact that if you want to lose weight, be healthy, or both, you need to get some sort of exercise program going. This has been proven over and over again. Yes, you CAN lose some weight without exercise, but your health will not improve, and you may find you have created some new problems if all you do is alter your diet in order to lose weight. Also, trying to lose weight without changing the way you have lived your life will prove the old adage to be true:
"Keep doing what you've been doing and you will keep getting what you have been getting."
So, to set about changing what "you have been getting" out of life, at least in terms of health, fitness, and weight loss, you will need to get into some sort of exercise program.
THE PROBLEMS
There are a few problems that people encounter when they start exercising...particularly if they have not been exercising for a while or even worse, are beginning an exercise program for the first time.
1. They have trouble finding the time to exercise.
2. They have difficulty making exercise a habit
3. They are dissatisfied with the results of their exercise program.
4. They injure themselves.
SOME SOLUTIONS
1. Many people find that until exercise becomes an integral part of their life, it is difficult to "find the time" to exercise. There are two points here.
Engage In Opportunistic Exercise
This is the sort of exercise that can be factored into each day's activities. While parking a few feet farther from the store can be a great way to introduce some physical activity into your daily life, one such event once in a while will not make a great difference. On the other hand, it IS a start, and one of the hardest hurdles to overcome is actually STARTING some sort of exercise program. Putting several of these events into your week, parking farther away, taking the stairs, carrying the groceries in from the car, standing up during phone calls, or walking in place while watching TV, for example can get you started on the road to feeling better, looking better, and better health.
Make A Commitment To Exercise
There is an old saying that work will expand to take up the resources committed to it. In other words, if a business is doing perfectly well with one phone and a combination fax/copier and then gets several multi-line phones and a high-speed copier, the employees will soon find they "cannot get along" without these additions. Our lives are similar. In our example, if the boss finds a need to cut costs, the employees will soon find that they CAN function without the high-speed copier, just like they did before.
In our lives, if we make a commitment to exercise, we will be able to "make" the time available, probably by changing something in our lives, but the bottom line will be how important the exercise is to us.
2. For most of us, one of the hardest aspects of this whole exercise thing is making it a habit. If it is not a habit, we will probably start "forgetting" or "having something else to do" and the exercise will eventually fade into the background and be forgotten.
It will be even harder to make something distasteful or time-consuming into a habit. A good tip here is to begin small and concentrate on getting used to the exercise as a regular part of your daily routine before you worry too much about all the other aspects. In other words, start with something simple that you can easily insert into your life, something that will be easy to remember to do regularly. Once the exercise IS a habit, you can expand it and you will soon find that you begin to get uncomfortable if you miss it.
A good point here is that the benefits of regular exercise express themselves in many ways, and if you move from being a non-exerciser to a regular exerciser, you will actually begin to enjoy your exercise experiences.
3. Unrealistic expectations plague many who try to begin an exercise program. The reality is that even the finest exercise program will take time to become fully effective and even then the intensity and breadth should increase and the weight decrease at a measured pace. Added to this is the fact most people do not really know how exercise works and what to expect. If you are starting slow as I advise and gradually increasing your effort, gains in fitness will be slow.
Weight loss will also be slow, but, over time, a good exercise program will help your weight loss program, your overall health, your mental outlook, and provide defense against many conditions and illnesses.
NOTE: If you are beginning an exercise program as part of a weight loss program, don't be surprised if you gain weight for a while. This is normal. Ignore your scale and concentrate on how you feel and how your clothes fit. Even though you may be gaining weight, you might actually be shrinking as lean tissue replaces fat.
4. Related to the item above is the potential for injury. Unrealistic expectations occur because of ignorance and lack of experience. The same is true for injuries. People either try to do too much too soon, or simply perform exercises improperly or with the wrong equipment. A good brisk walk can feel good from the first day of your new exercise program, but not if you walk too far, too fast, too soon, or wear the wrong kind of shoes.
Remember, how much you CAN do is not necessarily how much you SHOULD do.
I have a friend who has started exercise programs several times since I have known her. Every time, she tries to start out doing as much as she can. Later she begins to feel sick because she is in poor condition, and then feels washed out and experiences pain over the next few days. That's the end of her exercise program until the bug hits her again a few months later.
Start slow, build up slowly, but keep on doing it and you will reap the rewards of a regular exercise program.

Safe Weight Loss
By Craig Ballantyne
What is necessary for safe weight loss?
A calorie deficit must be created through exercise and a small calorie reduction. This means more energy goes out than comes in. If it were only so simple!
Problem #1
Appetite seems to increase with activity level (therefore cancels out energy expended), this may not always happen.
Problem #2
The body will attempt to conserve weight during times of increased activity and reduced calorie intake (body becomes more efficient with energy).
Problem #3
Scales do not tell how much of the body weight is muscle, fat, OR water.
Problem #4
We all know someone who eats a lot (and eats a lot of "forbidden foods") BUT does not seem to gain a pound, while others eat very little and still have difficulty in altering their body composition.
Tip #1
You must use weight training to build muscle mass and increase metabolism and you must exercise consistently. The energy expenditure will help develop a negative caloric balance.
Tip #2
Base your success on how you feel, how your clothes fit, and how well you perform in your sport/activity, NOT on how the scale reads.
Tip #3
Do not starve yourself. The body may shut down its metabolism and it becomes extremely efficient in saving/storing energy. Eat nutritious meals spaced evenly throughout the day to maintain the metabolism and provide energy for exercise. Reduce any unnecessary food intake.
Tip #4
Remember you are trying to eat fewer calories then are needed to maintain weight. Aim to reduce the calories by a maximum of 20% (i.e. 200-400 per day), BUT/ never go lower than 1500 total daily calories. Reducing the amount of fat in your diet greatly helps in reaching a calorie deficit (because each gram of fat has 9 calories).
Tip #5
Do NOT eat "fat-free" foods in excess. Remember the aim is a calorie deficit! There are no magic OR forbidden foods. Some are better than others BUT very few items need to be fully excluded from a diet. Allow yourself at least the occasional treat.
Tip #6
Choose water as your low-calorie fluid source, unless you need the nutrients that are provided by a glass of milk OR juice.
Be honest #1
Do you really need to lose weight? Losing weight often involves certain sacrifices, so determine if it is really necessary for health or performance and then make full commitment to the goal.
Be honest #2
Can you decrease your food intake without your health suffering? Try to reduce calories with your health in mind by reducing the foods with least nutritional value (i.e. processed foods, sugary drinks, excess sauces, and sugar).
Be honest #3
Are you truly hungry when you eat? Are you just thirsty, bored, stressed?
Be honest #4
Are you active for only 30minutes (your exercise session) and then stuck in a chair for the rest of the day? Consider this before you justify an increase in caloric intake.
