Tips On The Ultimate Fat Burning Technique That Works For You
By Jack Miller
It feels like an eternal struggle trying to work out the finest fat burning technique, and the smartest way to burn fat.
There are so many options that you can try to lose weight and increase the amount of fat you are burning. It can range from the use of supplements to the Atkins diet to the tuna and water diet! Personally, I don’t recommend any of these.
Clearly people have different metabolisms and therefore some find it much easier to gain weight or lose weight than others.
If you are someone who does have a much slower metabolism than normal then of course its extremely unlucky, but in no way does that mean you can’t lose weight and be slim. It just means you have to adjust your eating and exercise habits to suit your own body.
Personally, I have a very slow metabolism and have done from a young age. Over the years I have learnt that you need to incorporate many techniques together, it is not simply one magic food or one magic supplement.
One of these important techniques is eating the correct foods. It is not a myth that there are simply foods out there, apart from the obvious foods layered in saturated fats that you simply must not eat. People are eating these foods all the time believing that they are healthy and are helping them lose weight.
Conversely, there are many foods out there that people believe will make them fatter and put on pounds, yet if they were to eat them they would see significant weight loss.
For example, a very well-known food that helps rev up your metabolism is raw peppers, it doesn’t matter which colour (red, green, yellow) but they make a huge difference. Any professional sportsman will have raw peppers in their diet, and it is for this reason.
There are so many of these types of foods that will lose you weight. Fact.
Exercise is, and will always be for me the second most important method losing weight. Regular exercise can only help you lose weight, as well as keep cholesterol down and decrease the chances of a heart strokes and attacks.
Eating the correct foods, and in sensible quantities is #1.
Who told you to eat that to lose weight? You must be crazy!
You might think those are healthy tickets, but you are gaining weight because of it!
Find out which foods pile on the pounds, and which will make you lose weight permanently.

If New York Banned TransFats Why Don't You?
By Susanne Myers
What we once took for granted as being a healthy alternative to the high fat content of margarine and butter has come home to haunt us. Consumers are more concerned than ever about their health. In an attempt to aid the public, the FDA has made food manufacturers reveal those items in foods that are detrimental to our health.
These announcement by the FDA help consumers make smart decisions concerning their health as individuals try to create and maintain a healthy lifesyle. Informed consumers are eliminating transfats from their diets. But eliminating transfats is only part of the equation. The solution to the transfat debacle is healthy eating. Eating healthy involves limiting the saturated fats while increasing the amount of healthy dietary choices.
The obvious way is to limit these harmful fats are by loading up on vegetables, fruits and whole grains. Another healthy eating choice is to choose low fat dairy and lean proteins.
In a recent news story it was reported that the entire restaurant population of New York may be required to eliminate transfats from their menus. New York may take some formal action against the use of artificial trans fats that are used in the restaurant and fast food industry.
The proposal will make New York the first large city in the country to strictly limit such fats in restaurants.
This proposal would prohibit the entire restaurant industry from McDonalds to other street corner restaurants from using these unhealthy fats in their menus.
Scientific evidence shows that consumption of saturated fat, trans fat, and dietary cholesterol raises low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or "bad cholesterol," levels, which increases the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). According to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute of the National Institutes of Health, more than 12.5 million Americans have CHD, and more than 500,000 die each year. That makes CHD one of the leading causes of death in the United States.
The only good news about transfat is that The Food and Drug Administration requires that saturated fat and dietary cholesterol are listed on food labels.From the beginning of Jan.1, 2006 food labels will have to reveal the use of the of trans fat as an ingredient. With trans fat added to the Nutrition Facts panel consumers will know for the first time how much of all three--saturated fat, trans fat, and cholesterol--are in the foods you select.
Identifying saturated fat, trans fat, and cholesterol on the food label gives the consumer the information needed to make healthy food choices.
However, not everyone is aware of the risk posed by consuming too much saturated fat, trans fat, and cholesterol. The effects of these fats on the body can be
devastating. Avoiding these items is critical to maintaining good health.
Saturated and trans fats have a detrimental effect on the blood cholesterol. The heart is also affected by transfat. "Transfat and saturated fats not only affect how much plaque is deposited in blood vessels but also may damage the tissue of blood vessels. says Susan Moores, MS. R.D.who is a spokesperson for the American dietetic Association.
The path to healthy eating eliminates transfat from our diets. Buying foods that are labeled as being transfat free is a step toward a healthier lifestyle. Read food labels carefully. Include those foods that are nutrient rich in your shopping cart. Put the transfat labeled products back on the shelf.

Get Healthy-Eat More Fat-Well, Maybe Just Certain Types Of Fats Anyway
By Denice Moffat
Did you know that your brain is composed of more than 60% fat? If you don’t have the proper fats to nourish the nerve cells and myelin of the brain you will have some problems down the road (like Alzheimer’s disease). There are two different kinds of fats—bad fats, and good fats.
Examples of bad fats include meat fats, processed fats, trans-fats, hydrogenated fats and fats processed under high heat. Good fats are unsaturated and in fluid form at room temperature and are what you should be ingesting as your fat calories.
Essential Fatty Acid (EFA) Deficiencies are becoming epidemic in our world. Some similarities exist between sluggish thyroid and EFA deficiency, and low thyroid, but there are differences, too:
Do YOU suffer from a fat deficiency? EFA deficiency is associated with:
Chronic diarrhea, Crohn’s or IBS Attention deficit disorder (ADD) Irritability or nervousnessDry mouth or dry throatSkin dryness or cracks behind the earsEmphysema, asthma or other chronic lung diseaseChronic joint pain or arthritisHistory of kidney, bladder or prostate problemsInfertility, impotence or a history of repeated miscarriages
Essential fatty acids (EFA's) are those fats that the body cannot produce on its own. The body gets these fatty acids directly from the diet. For example:
LA (Linoleic acid) is an omega-6 fatty acid found in sunflower, safflower, corn and sesame. These fats are used in a large array of body functions.
ALA (Alpha-linolenic acid) is an omega-3 fatty acid found in flax, walnut and green leafy vegetables. These fats are used in a large array of body functions.
DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), comes from fish oil, chicken and eggs and is found in the brain.
GLA (gamma-linolenic acid) comes from the Evening Primrose or Borage plants and has been used with some success in treating schizophrenia.
There are other EFA’s but this sounds complicated already. Just know that we need all of these fatty acids, and they need to be in specific ratios to work perfectly. It seems like each body needs a little different ratio, but that is what being an individual is all about. We each are attracted to different diets and different foods. The goal has been to find the ratio that works in general for the “normal” body and how to tweak this ratio for dis-eased body types as well.
The most common unsaturated fats that I see most people needing in my own practice are Udo’s Choice Oil Blend, Wheat Germ Oil (especially for reproductive challenges), Olive Oil, Sunflower Oil (especially in the winter months for mild depression), and the lighter oils like Sesame, Apricot, Avocado and Emu oil for use as an after shower body lotion.
My question, of course, is “Who’s normal?” I don’t know anyone that is the same as anyone else. Even identical twins have differences.
There have also been a lot of studies done on EFA’s over the last several years in the veterinary field as the food companies keep trying to develop diets that are optimally balanced to conquer all the chronic skin disease caused by fleas (those pesky annoying little creatures).
From EFA’s, our bodies make the brain fats and vital messengers that help regulate a huge abound of body activity necessary for peak function. Fatty acids can be saturated or unsaturated, but EFA’s are always unsaturated. EFA’s can be damaged by free radicals (like in well-done and char-broiled meats, oxygen damage and electromagnetic field influences,) and be out competed for receptor sites by saturated fats (from eating too much meat) and trans-fatty acids (from whipped vegetable oils such as margarine).
Therefore, it is a good deal to include some EFA’s with every meal for ultimate health so at least they have a chance to glom onto those receptor sites to make the cells work at maximum capacity for all that they need to do. The Zone Diet developed by Dr. Barry Sears goes into this in depth and his books have a lot of great recipes—especially for those people with diabetes, hypoglycemia, heart disease and obesity.
The bottom line? Eat your raw vegetables, nuts and don’t forget the eggs. Use butter instead of margarine. Fry only in butter, coconut, ghee or olive oil as these fats are not that easily damaged by high temperatures.
Some factors contributing to EFA deficiency include:
Fast food, low-fat, or low egg diets Taking aspirin or other anti-inflammatory drugsTaking cortisone, prednisone or other steroids Drinking hard liquor on a regular basisRegularly using margarine and refined sugarsSmoking or chewing tobacco.
One of my favorite references for learning about fats is: Smart Fats. How dietary fats and oils affect mental, physical and emotional intelligence. By Michael A Schmidt.

5 Simple Ways To Look Younger And Feel Better In The New Year
By Sharon Holt
"True beauty lies on the inside"... while it may sound corny, this platitude is actually very literally true. Our internal health directly affects our external appearance, particularly our skin, hair, and weight. A few simple changes to improve your internal health can take years off your appearance and help you lose weight at the same time.
1. Drink 8-10 glasses of water per day - and I mean water, not soda, coffee, or even juice. I know, you've heard it before, but people keep saying it for a reason. If you experience joint pain, stomach pain and ulcers, back pain, or low energy, try drinking more water: these are all symptoms of dehydration. Water can also help you lose weight. It has no calories, acts as an appetite suppressant, and can help metabolize your body fat. Studies suggest that you should drink an additional glass of water (above the recommended 8-10) for every 25 pounds over your recommended body weight.
2. Stop drinking coffee. You should try to cut out caffeine completely, but coffee contains additional ingredients that increase you levels of cortisol and insulin, which leads to weight gain.
Insulin controls the production of body fat, so the higher your insulin levels, the more fat you will store. Caffeine is a diuretic and will actually cause you to lose necessary water. It can also give you the shakes, lead to anxiety, upset your stomach, and prevent you from getting enough sleep. It may seem impossible to give up your morning cup of coffee, but try replacing it with decaf green tea and you'll be amazed at the improvement in your health and your mood.
3. Stop eating so much sugar. Too much refined sugar makes your insulin levels spike, and insulin, as I said, causes you to store fat. Sugar also attached to collagen (a compound responsible for your skin's elasticity and suppleness), making your skin stiff and saggy. Refined (white) sugar is the worst and you should avoid it at all costs. You can substitute natural sugars like honey and maple syrup, but even these should be used in moderation. You do need some sugar to provide essential fuel to your cells - but get it from fruits and vegetables instead of donuts and candy. Do not use artificial sweeteners in place of sugar - they're at least as bad, if not worse.
4. Eat more natural foods. Junk food may taste good, but the results of eating it don't feel good at all. The benefits of replacing processed foods with natural foods are too numerous to list.
Instead of salty snacks like chips or pretzels, eat unsalted nuts and seeds, or raw vegetables.
Instead of sugary desserts eat fresh, whole fruit. Eat whole wheat bread and pasta and brown rice instead of their white siblings. You'll get more fiber, less sugar and saturated fats, and all the vitamins and nutrients you need (just remember to eat a variety of fruits and vegetable to ensure you're getting all your vitamins).
5. Try colon cleansing. Years of poor eating habits can leave your colon in pretty bad shape. The average American's diet is 25% junk food, which is extremely difficult to digest and eliminate.
The colon is wonderfully designed to control toxins in the body; however, most people's diets are so poor and so highly laced with toxic matter that the colon's purification process can't keep up: it often becomes sluggish and the toxins begin to build up. Toxicity can manifest itself in several ways, including diarrhea (or alternating constipation and diarrhea), breakouts of acne and other skin disorders, excessive fetid perspiration, and bad breath. A colon cleanser like Almighty Cleanse can help expel impurities and fecal matter that build up on your intestinal walls.*
These simple suggestions can help improve both your short-term and your long-term health.
Gradually make these changes in your lifestyle, add some light exercise, and you will be amazed how good you look and feel.

Beverages and Alcohol: Don't Let Liquids Sabotage Your Fat Loss
By Ross Harrison
More people are concerned about their weight and body fat than ever and unfortunately the number of overweight people is still continuing to rise. There are many reasons for this increase in obesity, such as lack of exercise, poor nutritional habits, lack of sleep, and increased stress levels. Changing these or other lifestyle habits can significantly impact your health and physique. This article will focus on the nutritional component; specifically the negative effect that beverages can have on fat and weight gain.
In can be easy to forget that many beverages contain a significant amount of calories. For example a 12oz can of soda contains about 150 calories, so if you have just 3 cans per day or possibly even a singe large soda from a convenience store or fast food restaurant, you are adding almost 500 calories to your daily total. Over the course of a week, this can add an extra pound of fat to your body.
Adding a large number of calories to your daily total is bad enough, but when these beverages are consumed at mealtimes, the negative effects on fat storage and weight gain become even greater. After you have consumed enough calories to satisfy your body’s energy requirements, any extra calories, including calories from beverages, will end up being stored as fat, regardless if they are calories from fat, carbs, or protein.
Plus, if you are drinking beverages contains alcohol, the effects on fat storage are even worse.
Alcohol is essentially a toxin and when you drink alcohol, your body reprioritizes how it handles the calories you consume. Normally, your body will break down some of the proteins, fats, and carbs to use as energy for various physiological functions. Then whatever is left over will generally be converted into fat or stored as glycogen.
When alcohol is consumed with the other calories, your body’s first priority becomes to process the alcohol (toxin) and get it out of your body as fast as possible. The problem is the normal process of breaking down the other carbs, fats, and proteins becomes less important and more of these calories end up being stored as fat while the body is processing the alcohol.
This is not to say that having a small glass of wine with your meal will make everything you eat turn to fat. Instead, higher amounts of alcohol consumed with food will cause your body to store a higher percentage of the calories as fat. Plus, since alcohol has a dehydrating effect, if you don’t drink enough water, it will be more difficult to detoxify your body. This is also important, because when it takes longer to process the alcohol, more of the other calories will be stored as fat.
The physiology can become confusing, but simply stated, large meals combined with alcoholic beverages will cause your body to store a lot of unnecessary fat. Of course, you will have to get rid of this newly added fat before making positive progress towards your original fat loss goals, so you have to ask yourself what’s more important, losing fat or consuming excess amounts of alcohol or other high calorie beverages?
If you are truly serious about you health, fitness, and fat loss, the choice is obvious. Plus, if you are putting forth the effort to exercise and develop healthy eating habits, you should be experiencing some positive results. Just be sure to choose drinks that are low in calories and alcohol (water is ideal), because losing fat is difficult enough without beverages sabotaging your success.

Ten Tips To Lose Weight Successfully
By Noraini Maskuri
These are some common sense but effective tips to get you started to lose weight successfully. If you are serious about shedding off that kilos, it would be worth to firstly list all the things that need to be done:
1. You need to establish to what extend are you overweight. Consult your doctor and get proper assessment, only then you become aware how hard you need to work on losing weight.
2. Forget about achieving immediate and sudden weight loss. Aim to lose it gradually because evidence has suggested that people with slow and steady weight loss are more likely to remain at lower weight than those who lose weight rapidly. Experts recommend that you aim to lose 1-2 lb a week.
3. Aim to lose weight by reducing calorie intake and by increasing physical activity. You will be achieving higher success if you apply these. As you consume lesser calories, excess fats are burned from the increased physical activity.
4. Set a realistic target by implementing a sensible plan for dieting and regular exercise. Review progress after two weeks for example, by eating sensibly rather than consuming diet food excessively for two months. Calorie intake of less than 1000 a day will generally do more harm than good.
5. Water has no calories so always drink plenty of it. Water is vital for your body to function properly. Do not just drink alot during the early weeks of a diet where excess fluid is easily lost.
6. Do not weigh yourself all the time as weight fluctuates on daily basis. Do it at least once a week and that is enough to review your progress. Do not give yourself a false sense of hope if the weight loss is more than usual or a sense of hopelessness if there is no change in weight.
7. Eat your share of balanced diet which contains carbohydrates, protein, some fats and minerals. The needs of your body remain unchanged just because you are dieting. Just be mindful to choose lower calories and lower quantity for each type of food.
8. Get an accurate weighing scale. Do not underestimate the importance of this if you are serious in keeping track of what you have achieved. Set your bathroom scales to zero and check they are working correctly by weighing a pre-weighted product for eg, a pound of sugar. Weigh yourself preferably without any clothes.
9. Read up on tips for reducing sugar and fat intake. These are two key elements in your diet that need to be monitored. Choose margarine with reduced fat instead of butter. Cut down on biscuits, cakes, chocolates and crisps. Use skimmed milk. Cottage cheese is better than full-fat hard cheese. Bake, grill or steam your food. Educate yourself more on this.
10. It is important that you plan all your meals. This helps you to manage your calories intake throughout the day. Try to eat small meals instead of one large meal in a single day. Eating small amounts will lessen hunger pangs. Do not eat before going to bed as this eliminates the chances of burning those calories.

End Your Love Affair With Food!
By Julia Havey
Do you remember your first love? Have you ever taken one look at a person and known it was love? Are you currently in love? Do you love romantic movies, love songs and romance novels? Do you love dogs, cats or other pets? Do you love chocolate, pasta or other foods? Do you see a difference between all of these things that we say we "love"?
So often a reader will tell me that they love food, or that they love a certain food. I try to explain to them that love should be reserved for our family, our pets and ourselves. When pressed, the person will nearly always recant and say, "Well, I don’t love it, but I really like it."
I think when we say we love a certain food, it gives that food a lot of control over us. Think about it: You love your parents, your spouse, your friends and your children, right? And, therefore, you feel a certain responsibility toward them. You would never ignore them, shut them out of your life or purposely decide never to see them again, would you?
Well, in the case of the unhealthy foods that we believe we love, I think we should take a different approach. I think they should be cast aside, banned and sent to the trash. Why?
The problem with the unhealthy foods that we love, or our vice foods as I like to call them, is that it is a case of love at first bite. That very first bite does us in, and we are hooked. We become prisoners of love and true goners. If you LOVE chocolate and take that very first bite, are you able to put it down and not finish the candy bar or the box? If you LOVE fried chicken, do you really eat just ONE piece, or do you have many?
What about pizza, another great love of our lives. Have you ever had one piece and then broken up with the remaining cheesy, gooey and tempting pieces left in the box? Or, how about potato chips? Lays potato tells us that “no one can eat just one” for a reason. No one can!
So you see, it is really the first bite of the unhealthy food item that is the problem. If you can just say NO to the first bite, then you don't have the internal struggle of when to stop having more bites.
I know this to be true from first hand experience. 12 years ago, I lived a morbidly obese lifestyle in a morbidly obese body. Ice cream was truly my lover. I had a horrible marriage and was very lonely, so night after night, I curled up on the sofa with my ½ gallon and fell in love -- bite after bite.
The ice cream filled a void that nothing else seemed to fill. But, the problem was that I was dieting. I was constantly trying to lose weight, going on diet after diet, but still continuing the affair with my lover: Espresso and Cream (Light) Baskin-Robbins ice cream.
To me, my love of ice cream was an obsession. I am embarrassed to admit to you that I even bounced checks to buy my fix. Like with any unhealthy addiction we have in life, it had to stop.
I swore off ice cream in January of 1995. It has now been almost 12 years, and I am proud to say that I have not had ONE bite of ice cream, not ONE, since the very day that I decided to stop. It is an interesting coincidence that by Christmas of that year, I was also down about 100 pounds.
I remember wearing dressy black velvet walking-shorts to my parent’s home for Christmas dinner. Everyone was telling me how skinny I was. It felt great. It felt even better not to eat everything on my plate, nor take seconds of everything. And, I didn’t even miss not having dessert.
You see, I had replaced my love of ice cream with a new love: MYSELF! For many years now, that love has remained strong and has seen me through a divorce, single parenthood, dating and falling in love, getting remarried and embarking on a mission to help others to find true love. Love of self is the only kind of love that will help YOU to realize your dreams and goals.
So, do you really love food, or is it time to look a bit deeper for a new love?

Selecting the Best Online Weight Loss Program
By Elizabeth Radisson
The Internet has become a convenient venue where different products and services are sold and offered to different kinds of people.
Online businesses recognize the many needs of people and so they tend to offer products and services that would certainly arouse interest and generate rapid sales.
Obesity is one problem plaguing many people, not just in the United States, but also around the world. That is why many weight-loss regimens and product innovations are sold online.
It is bizarre how many people in Africa suffer from malnutrition and under weight problems, and many people in developed countries suffer from obesity. The contrasting trend is caused by food intake, though, in opposing directions.
On the Internet, there are more weight loss plans and programs being sold than there are weight-gaining techniques. It is because statistics indicate that people who fail to gain results from conventional weight loss programs tend to turn online for possible alternative solutions.
Finding the Best Online Weight Loss Program
Since there are numerous weight loss programs and plans offered online, how would you possibly choose the best among them?
Selecting the best and most effective strategy for weight loss is often unique for each person. A program that is successful for one person, may fail to work for another.
Do not select a plan simply based on the strength of the testimonials. Testimonials are difficult, if not impossible to follow up on. While many positive testimonials are a plus on the side of a program, it should not be your main criteria.
To pick out the best among the online weight loss options, you can also do some checking up on the company itself. Trust Internet sites that post physical office addresses or have phone numbers to use to contact the company. Give them a call or drop by their headquarters, if possible.
Feedback and recommendations from peers are also great ways to make up your mind when you are deciding which online program or plan you would purchase or sign up in. A quick online search can often turn up reviews of sites and products, as well as recommendations and personal experiences.
Safety
Do not be easily misled by claims made in promotions and press releases. Make sure you learn the specifics of the weight loss program. Does it require purchase of supplements? Is there an exercise component that would require special equipment? Is there a diet plan component?
Most online programs and plans for weight loss primarily offer special and recommended diets and gives advice on the timing of meals, the planning for food allocations and intake and the do's and don'ts while eating.
Other plans integrate special diets with exercise techniques. Still others combine diet, exercise and supplements.
Moreover, also consider the price tag. There are plans to fit many different budgets. You may also want to consider offline programs available in your area. The personal interaction may suit you, and help you to reach your weight loss goal.
The key to remember is that it is a lot easier to gain the weight then to lose it. An online weight loss program, or any other weigh-reduction plan, will be futile if you are not determined to be self-disciplined, and put in the work to see the plan through.
If you are looking for an online weight loss program, look no further than the ProShape system. ProShape combines diet and exercise with naturopathic supplements to help you meet your weight loss goals.
