Lose Weight - Never Go Hungry - Here's a Fast And Easy Plan!
By
Jim KeayesSo you've done The Zone, you've tried Southbeach and a friend told you Atkins doesn't work.
So what's the new plan for today? How will you burn off that fat, lose that weight? In a minute I'll show you a great plan to do that.
But here's the thing... we have to do something soon! People in the developed world are ballooning at a rate unheard of in the past. This is why in the face of sky high gas prices the big SUV is so popular. More and more people are way overweight and simply need the room.
If we don't get this under control an enormous health care funding crisis will develop as heart disease and diabetes explodes across the world.
What do you know about the Glycemic Index?
This index was created in Canada nearly 30 years ago. The Clintons love it. It's been called "the key to weight loss" and I have certainly had remarkable results with it. More on that later!
Foods with a high GI (Glycemic Index) are foods that are rapidly digested and quickly converted into glucose in the blood. Pure Glucose has a GI of 100 and I guess sand or rock or something like that has a GI of zero.
Well it just happens that the "North American Fast Food Diet" which has been popularized and transported around the globe is choc full of high GI foods... things like bread, potatoes, sugar, cookies, pop, pastries... all of those highly refined carbs.
When you eat those high GI foods they are very quickly converted to glucose in the blood.
Because they're absorbed so quickly you experience a very fast rise in blood sugar levels followed by a walloping shot of insulin. Over several years your system becomes insensitive to insulin (whose job is to get the sugar into the muscles) and the blood sugar gets deposited as fat.
So the trick is this... you've got to get off those carbs in a way that doesn't make you hungry... otherwise you'll go back to the old habits just like before.
I can show you how to do this! You'll lose weight and you won't be hungry! I have recently written a book entitled "Lose Weight - Never Go Hungry" which lays out a plan for overcoming Carbohydrate addiction and losing weight.

10 Inexcusable Excuses for Not Exercising (And How to Cope with Them)
By
Jin TuncitWe've all heard them, excuses like "I am tired", "exercising hurts" and blah blah blah and i bet most of you have used them. These are just so-called justifiable excuses for not being more active. Remember, exercise is an important ingredient in weight loss. Well, here are some strategies to get around those "I can't exercise" reasons....
1) Excuse: "I don't have time."
This is a number-one reason most people give for not exercising. But you must make exercise a priority. That's one reason to make your daily activity a habit - because then it becomes a priority. Remember, you don't have to commit to a full hour all at once. Three 20-minute walks count.
Coping strategies: Turn off the TV. Trade one hour of TV watching each day for one hour of exercise.
Get somebody else to watch the children, get up half-hour early, or walk during your lunch hour. Or take the children with you. You can be a good role model for them and have some quality one-on-one time, too. Make it part of the day's routine as some moms do: When the kids get off the bus in the afternoon, they have a quick snack, grab the dog, get on their bikes, and bike away for an hour of action.
2) Excuse: "I don't feel like it."
Coping strategies: Grab a buddy or several friends and make a commitment to them. Chances are that one of you will want to keep moving even the others don't. and don't forget to give yourself to give yourself credit for every bit of exercise you do, even if you don't make your 60-minute goal on some days. Remember, some physical activity is better than none.
3) Excuse: "I can't do exercise well."
Coping strategies: we're talking about walking, not jogging, or running, or race walking, you can saunter, meander, or stroll. Just move. After a few weeks, you'll feel more comfortable. When you do, you can increase your speed and improve your technique.
4) Excuse: "I can't get to my workout place easily."
Coping strategies: You don't have to go to a special place, although you may find it motivating to go to a school track, a mall, the woods, or some other walker-friendly environment. You can take the stairs, get off the bus a little earlier and walk the rest f the way, park at the far end of the lot, or pace instead of sitting while waiting for the train.
5) Excuse: "Exercise didn't work for me in the past."
Coping strategies: Maybe you tried to do too much. Maybe you were forced to be on a sports team as a child. Or you were always the last person to be chosen for a team in a schoolyard. Try to figure out why past attempts to stick with exercise failed, or why you believed that your past gets in the way. Work out your own way around the problem. It's worth repeating: We're talking about going for a walk, not training for a marathon.
6) Excuse: "I'm too fat to move."
Coping strategies: Have you tried "chair dancing"? You can get tapes to guide you through a seated exercise routine. (
www.chairdancing.com)
Eventually, as your weight comes down and your fitness level improves, your ability and enjoyment will improve, too. Watch for little signs of encouragement, such as walking up the stairs without huffing and puffing. O notice that your thighs don't rub together as much as they did a few weeks earlier. The more active you become, the more progress you'll see.
7) Excuse: "I have poor balance."
Coping strategies: Balance is a problem for very large people who have been sedentary. You may want to start strength training because one of the key benefits of building muscle is improved balance. When you're ready to add walking, make sure that you have comfortable footwear that has a wide sole and good support. Choose flat, paved surfaces for walking.
8) Excuse: "I'm afraid."
Coping strategies: Fear stops people from doing all kinds of things, but the best antidote for fear is action. Grab a buddy to encourage you. Keep your sense of humor primed. Make exercise fun!
9) Excuse: "Exercising hurts."
Coping strategies: If an activity doesn't feel good, don't do it. Never exercise to the point of exhaustion. You don't want to wake up stiff. If you feel any pain at all, slow down or cut back on the exercise you do and slowly work your way back up. Listen to your body. If you're new to exercise and been sedentary, it's possible to translate any discomfort you feel while exercising as pain. Chances are you're experiencing the sensation of physical effort. Effort I important to work to the next level; pain is not. If the distress you feel continues after you stop moving, that's pain. If you feel better when you stop, you're putting in effort and that's good. Keep going.
10) Excuse: "I'm to embarrassed"
Coping strategies: Don't worry about looking foolish. When you walk for exercise, you don't have to join a gym filled with perky, spandex-clad instructors. You can be as private or as public as you like, depending on where you walk. You can wear whatever you want too.

Tip The Scales To Your Advantage
By
Janet MartinBeing obese puts you at risk for many life-threatening diseases not to mention the fact that it can ruin your appearance and lower your confidence. The good news is you don't have to spend a fortune to keep fit and look good. All it takes is a little discipline and the right attitude.
To get you started on the road to a lean and mean body, here are some practical tips to follow:
Make a commitment to lose weight and keep it off!
How many of us start diets to lose a few pounds here and there to simply fit into a nice dress for a wedding or party. Often we have no intention of keeping the weight off once it's lost. Commit yourself to good eating habits that will lead to long-term good health.
Choose a well-balanced and nutritionally sound diet.
Include rice or bread, fruits, vegetables, low fat dairy products, and sources of protein like lean meats, poultry, fish, or beans daily for optimal nutrition. Be wary of diets that use only one food group like high-protein or all-fruit diets.
Attack the fat!
Fat is a concentrated source of calories. And fat taken through the diet is more readily stored as fat in your body. Stay away from high fat foods like butter, margarine, mayonnaise, nuts, chocolates, deep-fried foods, gravies, whole milk, cheese, ice cream, and pastries.
Increase your fiber intake.
Fiber that is found only in plants - fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and seeds - provides the dieter with many benefits. It slows down food absorption, provides bulk in the stomach that gives a feeling of satiety, is more difficult to chew and slows down eating, and protects against various ailments like diabetes, some cancers, and heart disease.
Eat smaller portions.
Even low-calorie foods add up when you don't watch how much you eat. Use kitchen measuring cups, spoons or a diet scale to keep your servings accurate. Try using a smaller plate to make your meals look larger.
Get moving!
Aerobic exercise burns calories, stored fat, and increases your metabolic rate. Biking, brisk walking, swimming, and dancing are good forms of exercise. Just remember to start slow and build up to a cardio respiratory fitness. Don't make time or the lack of it an excuse not to exercise.
Thou shall not be tempted!
Don't keep high calorie snack foods like potato chips within your reach. If you are attending a social event with lavishly prepared foods, take small portions and keep away from high-fat foods.
Set realistic goals.
A loss of 1 to 2 pounds per week is safe. Weight lost rapidly is nearly always regained. Don't be discouraged if your rate of weight loss slows after the first week. Part of the initial weight loss on any diet is water. As your body adjusts, weight loss will continue.
Be fair to yourself.
If you slip once, don't give up. Your diet isn't over; you have not blown the whole thing. Just climb right back on the wagon and plan to handle temptation better next time.
You can do it. Believe in yourself. Stick to your plan and take pride in the fact that you are doing something nice for yourself. You are worth it.

Making Your Own Healthy Meal For Weight Loss
By
Phillip EnglandIf you're looking for a healthy meal for weight loss, don't think that you have to put up with tasteless, boring, and bland dishes, even if you know that you have to cut back on certain types of food. All you need is a little planning and a whole lot of creativity to create a delicious and healthy meal for weight loss.
Substitute
For the most part, you don't actually need to create new recipes in order to make a delicious and healthy meal for weight loss. All it takes is to find food substitutes like for meats, for example. Although dependent on the kind of dish you are cooking, you can opt to use chicken instead of using beef or pork, or maybe even tofu or imitation meats. Just be careful of imitation meats though if you are allergic to gluten. If you don't want to substitute meats in your dishes with another kind, you can also opt to use leaner cuts instead.
Spice it up
If you're used to using artificial seasoning in cooking your foods, using herbs and spices may take some time getting used to. However, once you get used to it, you will never want to go back. The main benefit of using herbs and spices lies in helping you cut back on your sodium intake.
Excessive sodium is not just bad for your overall health, but it is also responsible for water retention in your body, adding unnecessary water weight for you. Not to mention that using herbs and spices complements the natural flavors in your foods, allowing them to fully come out, giving you a more pleasurable dining experience.
It's all in the variety
Over time, it's possible that you may have a favorite healthy meal for weight loss. Good for you actually because that means that you're enjoying eating healthy. However, great as it may, remember to keep your meals varied so that you get all the nutrients you need to stay healthy. One kind of dish, one kind of fruit, one kind of vegetable can't provide everything that you need.

Burn That Fat Fast - The Absolute Surefire Way To Lose Weight Now!
By
Jim KeayesWell that's a pretty big claim I'm making... right?
Well fear not, I will deliver on that promise.
If you want to successfully burn that fat fast, there are four basic steps you need to take.
It's important for you to remember that this is your life and your body, so really there is nothing that you "have" to do. But if you're looking for a surefire way to lose weight right now, then these are the steps that can make that a reality for you.
1. Kill the carbohydrate craving. I can show you how to do that in five days.
It's the carb craving that derails weight loss programs virtually every time. Sometimes this craving becomes overpowering and the next thing you know you're reaching for that high GI snack and you fall right off your plan.
Killing the carb craving is paramount if you seriously want to burn off that fat and keep it off.
2. Change your eating habits.
As much as possible it's important to remove those high GI foods like highly refined carbs, potatoes and sugars from your diet. Sure we all like to sin a little so the occasional indulgence in fries or a Starbucks pastry is not going to bury you... but be really aware of what you're eating and make a commitment to avoid those foods as much as possible from now on.
It's those high GI foods that spike your blood sugar (with the accompanying insulin burst) that are the real triggers for your weight gain syndrome. They alter your body chemistry and make it impossible to avoid putting on fat.
You get locked into a very negative digestive cycle.
3. Drink lots of water.
Alkaline water is the best, followed by bottled spring water, but at the very least use filtered water to remove the chlorine. In fact water that has a pH of 9.5 is about the best anti-oxidant you can find.
When you're not getting enough water (around 4 liters per day) your body thinks there's a drought going on and stores water with the fat. As soon as you up your water intake the body begins to release all that stored water along with lots of toxins that are stored in there with it.
So be aware... when you increase the amount you drink you may feel sick for a few days as these toxins are released into the blood stream
4. Get some aerobic exercise.
Walking at a moderate pace for 20 to 30 minutes on 3 to 5 days a week should do the exercise commitment for you... unless you're not lazy like me and you really enjoy exercise. In which case you'll have this step aced.
Even mild aerobic exercise significantly reduces the insulin insensitivity of our muscles and improves their ability to absorb blood sugar instead of layering it on our bellies as fat.
As I said earlier, killing the carb craving is paramount if you seriously want to burn off that fat and keep it off. I can show you how to do this.
I have recently written a book entitled "Lose Weight - Never Go Hungry" which lays out a plan for overcoming Carbohydrate addiction and losing weight.

Women - Learn the Secret to Getting a Lean, Sexy Body and It's Not Cardio
By
Mindi BearAre you one of the thousands of women out there who want a lean, sexy body with beautiful sculpted muscles but no matter how much cardio or dieting you did, you never achieved your goals? Well guess what? A lean, sexy physique isn't built with cardio or dieting!
The secret is lifting heavy weights! "But I don't want big muscles like a man." I can hear you saying this right now. Ladies, you will not gain an abundant amount of muscle, you don't have the chemical make-up to achieve strong muscularity. Big muscles are gained with a high level of testosterone. Women only have 1/16th the testosterone of a man, therefore it will be virtually impossible to look like a man unless you are taking anabolic steroids. What you will experience is tighter and more defined muscles, and an overall lean, athletic look.
Want another reason to lift weights? It boosts your metabolism! Studies have shown an increase in resting metabolic rate (BMR) for up to 48 hours after a weights workout. Cardio only boosts your metabolism for 1-2 hours post-workout. It takes a lot of energy to lift weights and build muscle, your body is constantly needing a steady stream of nutrients to re-build and repair your muscles. So you get to eat more frequently, and lose body fat in the process because of elevated metabolism!
Increased muscle mass has an infinite list of benefits. You will stand taller, have better posture, have fewer injuries, increase your circulation, prevent osteoporosis, and increase bone mass to name a few. Everyone can benefit from lifting weights, and it's never too late to start! Studies performed on elderly men and women who began a weightlifting program had increased muscle mass, decreased body fat, fewer injuries and fewer broken bones due to osteoporosis.
With all of these benefits, how can you NOT workout with weights?
So what is a good program to start with? A full-body routine performed three times a week. Pick one exercise per body part, focusing on compound (multi-joint) exercises. Choose a weight that is challenging for you complete 10 reps, this will be a trial and error process. Do 3 sets per exercise. Ideally, do 8-10 exercises per routine. After your body has adapted to a full-body workout, it's time to shake things up and do a split routine, consisting of a upper-body workout and a lower-body workout.
But first, you gotta START lifting those weights. Expect to see changes within 4-6 weeks. And ladies, DON'T weigh yourself! Muscle is more dense than fat, and you may not see your weight decrease because you are building muscle while you are losing body fat. Instead, measure your progress by how your clothes fit, and how much you are increasing your strength in the gym.
Now it's time to get started and get that lean, sexy body!
Mindi has been a fitness enthusiast for over 10 years. After learning how to build lean muscle with weightlifting, her goal is to motivate other women to abandon the cardio equipment in favor of the weigh troom to build that lean, sexy physique that so many women desire.

How Hot is Your Food?
By
Ben WarstlerHow 'Hot' is your Food
You say potato and I say salmon!
Well maybe you don't say potato but I will always say salmon. At least when it comes to the thermic effect of my food. The 'therm what'? you ask. The Thermic Effect, or the amount of energy it takes to digest foods. You see, not all foods are created equal. Some foods will provide instant energy, some will support your bodily functions, and some will be used to help you leaner than you ever imagined. Now before I continue I must warn you that there are no magic tricks here, just smart choices. And keep in mind that supportive exercise is always part of the plan (unless of course you want half the results you really could be getting).
When looking to boost your metabolism and erase any memory of body fat, you want as much help as you can get. Knowing about the Thermic Effect of foods is one tool you will definitely want in your tool box. If we look at Carbohydrates, Fats, and Proteins, it is obvious right off which food we should focus a bit more on:
Carbohydrates: 6-8% of total energy is used for digestion
Fats: 2-3% of total energy is used for digestion
Protein: 20-30% of total energy is used for digestion
Protein would be the obvious choice based on its Thermic Effect. This does not mean, however that you should eat nothing but protein. Carbohydrates and Fats both have their very important rolls in the body and successful fat loss will not happen if these are not an important part of a daily nutrition plan. But based on the clientele I have had in the past, protein is severely lacking our daily food intake. So much that it is shutting down our metabolism, simply because we are taking in too much carbohydrates and fats with a low Thermic Effect and we aren't maximizing the benefit of eating for a purpose.
Now this may sound a little confusing so let me simplify it a bit. When planning a daily menu or weekly menu, it might be wise to start with protein sources at each meal and work around them. This will help you get closer to reaching the amount of protein daily so that you are starting to see changes in your physique. Taking this tip and adding it to eating five to six small meals per day rather then two or three larger meals, will go a long way to helping you reach your bodies potential.

Avoid Holiday Weight Gain!
By
Holly MathesonIt inevitably happens each year during this time: the air gets colder, the sun sets sooner, and your pants start feeling a bit snug. It is officially feast season, with Thanksgiving just a few days away and Christmas next month. But before you give into the sweet temptation of holiday treats, consider following a few simple suggestions to ensure you avoid unwanted holiday weight gain.
Avoid Snacking
If you refrain from snacking throughout the day, you will be able to eat what you want, especially at holiday meals. That's not to say you can just eat junk for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but it will allow you to eat the foods you like without consuming excess calories since you are cutting out snacking. If you do start to feel hungry between meals, drink water! It's a great way to curb hunger and help you feel full. If that is not enough and you do need to eat something, make sure you grab something healthy, such as fruits or vegetables.
Busy Bee
Keep yourself busy! This shouldn't be too hard to do with all the shopping, cleaning, and cooking you inevitably have to do to get ready for the holidays. Not only will keeping busy help you avoid mindless bored snacking, but it will kick start your metabolism and help get your body into shape.
Exercise
If you are already exercising, great! You probably will not have to change your routine through the holidays, just stick with it. For the rest of us, find something you enjoy doing; most of us do not have enough self-discipline to stick with something we don't enjoy doing. Be creative and think outside the box to find activities to help you keep in shape; dancing, cleaning, racquetball, brisk walking, and even sex are great calorie burners. You can also do little things each day, such as parking far from the store entrance or taking the steps rather than the elevator to help you stay in shape
Energy SupplementWho doesn't need more energy during one of the busiest times of the year? An
energy supplement can be really effective in weight loss (and maintenance) when taken as directed and used in conjunction with healthy eating habits and regular physical activity.

High Intensity Workouts Burn Fat.
By
Benjamin WiseLet's talk about intensity. What is the goal? We want to get our hearts pumping for short periods of time followed by a cool down. A cool down consists of going from a run to a jog and possibly back to a walk. What we are doing is letting the body recover.
So we have short spurts followed by recovery and then back to high intensity again. These high intense periods could last anywhere form five minutes to 15 minutes. The time period depends on your level of fitness. You may just start out doing high intensity workouts for 5 minutes at a time then cooling down for a couple of minutes. Don't push it too hard if you are just starting out
As you work out more frequently you can then start to increase it slowly up to 15 minutes with a five minute cool down. By the way 15 minutes is not the limit. When you are done with the intervals of high intensity exercise you can finish your work out with five minutes of lower intensity exercises.
You can repeat these higher and lower intensity periods several times depending of course on the level of fitness you are at currently. To explain lower intensity work out, it basically means for example on a running machine just staying at a given speed over a longer period of time. In other words the intensity level doing it this way is constant.
They say by doing intense exercises for short periods you gradually increase the body's tolerance to what is known as lactic acid. This gives the body the ability to make use of lactic acid as a fuel, this happens while training the body to work at higher levels of energy output.

You Can't Drown From The Inside
By
Gregg MarshDrinking enough water is one of the most simple, basic, and important health steps you can take. If you drink the recommended amount of water, you can easily avoid dehydration, which can have profound effects on your health.
This topic is the most important element of your diet: Water makes up more than 70 percent of your body's tissues and plays a role in nearly every body function, from regulating temperature and cushioning joints to bringing oxygen to the cells and removing waste from the body.
Therefore, it's vital to pay attention to what you drink.
Drinking enough water is one of the most simple, basic, and important health steps you can take. If you drink the recommended amount of water, you can easily avoid dehydration, which can have profound effects on your health.
Dehydration can cause:
Fatigue
Dry skin
Headaches
Constipation
Build up of Toxins and ultimately store Body Fat
Most people fall short of the recommended 8 glasses a day. According to the latest research, although nearly three quarters of the population are aware of the recommendation, only 34% actually drink this amount, while 10% said they do not drink water at all. However, most people drink an average of nearly 6 servings a day of caffeinated beverages such as coffee and soft drinks. These drinks can actually cause the body to lose water, making proper hydration even more difficult to attain.
Water makes up more than 70% of the body's tissues and plays a role in nearly every body function from regulating temperature and cushioning joints to bringing oxygen to the cells and removing waste from the body. Severe dehydration can affect blood pressure, circulation, digestion and kidney function. But on a daily basis, not getting enough water can cause fatigue, dry skin, headaches and constipation.
The 8 glasses that the survey references would actually cause dehydration in the majority of the population. The amount of water most of us need is far more. The simple way to calculate your ideal intake is to multiply your bodyweight in Kilos by 0.04. The average adult is 150 pounds (68Kg) which would be 2.7 litres of water, and many individuals are over 200 pounds (91Kg) which would be 3.6 litres of water.
Let me make it perfectly clear that this is one of the most important health habits you could possibly do. Water is essential and if you don't get enough clean water you will suffer health problems. I implemented this recommendation myself 4 years ago and I drink 5 litres of water most days - my current weight is 230 Pounds (104.5Kilos). The reason I drink more is that I exercise regularly. So, when one sweats more, the 0.04 x your body weight in Kilos should be exceeded. This is especially important in warm weather.
If you normally don't drink enough water, you'll have to build up your water intake gradually to prevent running to the bathroom every few minutes.
Your bladder will adjust to this level after a short period of time, and you can keep increasing your water intake until you reach optimal levels. Try increasing your intake on this schedule:
Week 1: Drink 1 litre of water per day.
Week 2: Drink 1.5 litres of water per day.
Week 3: Drink 2 litres of water per day.
Week 4: Drink 2.5 litres of water per day.
Week 5: Success! 3 litres of water per day (adjust according to your weight).
If you need to drink more then continue to increase by a half litre each week until you are at your ideal level.
Drink your water at the right pace.
It's important to sip water all day long. Depending on your size, your body can only process a bit more than a glass of water per hour. If you drink much more than this at one sitting, the extra water will not be used, but merely flushed down the toilet bowl. So keep your water bottle with you all day long. This way you can confirm precisely how much water you are drinking.
Let me remind you of the water basics. Your exclusive beverage should be water. Bottled spring/mineral water (not drinking water) is best; but filtered water is acceptable. Try to have at least 2 litres of water a day. It would be best to have the water at room temperature. Ice-cold water can be a trauma to the delicate lining of your stomach, unless you are overheated. Try not to purchase the cloudy plastic (PVC) containers from your supermarket store as they transfer far too many chemicals into the water. The clear bottles (polyethylene) are a much better plastic and will not give the water that awful plastic taste. You can add lemon/lime juice occasionally to your water to help flavor it and normalize your body's pH if it is to acidic. Do not drink tap water! Water filters are an alternative solution that will bring the cost down.
If you have a water softener, you need to divert the softened water away from the kitchen tap to a reverse osmosis system. Avoid distilled water as it has the wrong ionization, pH, polarization and oxidation potentials. It will also drain your body of minerals.
I would STRONGLY recommend purchasing the book "Your Body's Many Cries for Water". It is the best book I know of that documents the usefulness of water. Dr. Batmanghelidj is a physician and does an excellent job. If you are a health care professional this book should be in your library.

How to Burn Fat - Some Tips for Getting Rid of the Fat and Losing Weight
By
Jenni Kerala'Fat' is a three-letter word that is considered one of the most resented when it comes to health and fashion. That is because accumulation of the substance leads to the unhappy bulging of various parts of your body. Fat is stored when the body is not able to metabolize food intake properly. You see, the food we eat is digested and converted into nutrients our bodies can use during physical activities.
When there is not much physical work and there is too much stored calories from food intake, fats accumulate and are stored in areas like the abdomen, the thighs, arms and the back. Fat accumulations in the body make for not only an unattractive sight, but it is unhealthy as well. So if you are looking for some tips on how to burn fat, you should definitely put some of these guidelines into practice.
Eat more frequent meals. Eating the conventional three meals a day is not advised for burning fat. Five to six meals throughout the day is more advisable because in doing so, the body's metabolism is accelerated. When the body is constantly digesting food, it is more likely that fat will be burned up. In three-meal days, the body's metabolism slows down during the long gap in between meals. Thus, there is more time for fat production.
Drinking lots of water is good to further aid digestion. Water is essential in helping the body utilize nutrients from food very well. While it is true that water helps take out toxins from the body, it also cushions joints, which is important in losing fat cushions that can be found in joint areas.
Do not eat any meal at least three hours before bedtime. When sleeping, the body's metabolism is slower, so the nutrients and calories that may be produced end up being stored in some body areas as fat deposits. However, it is also not advisable to sleep while starving because sleeping also requires some energy. Just regulate your meal hours prior to going to bed.
Cardiovascular exercises are the best way to burn fat and they are also good for your heart. Health experts advise doing cardiovascular exercises at least three to four times every week, averaging about 20 minutes each. Did you know that walking is a good cardiovascular exercise? It is also low impact and safe for your joints.
Increase the protein in your diet. When the body is metabolizing and burning fats, it naturally burns up carbohydrates first so that there would be energy to keep on going. So when carbs run out, the body would use other sources. It can use muscles in replacement for carbs. Thus, increasing protein is recommend in order to prevent muscle loss and shift your metabolize to fat burning instead. Eating more protein will also help regulate your appetite.
Now that you know better how to burn fat faster and more effectively, it would be good if you would focus on your efforts and keep disciplined in your initiatives to get a better looking and healthier body. You really can lose that weight.
If you are looking for an eating program that will help you lose weight and burn fat without slowing down your metabolism and suffering through lots of plateaus, you should take a look at
Fat Loss 4 Idiots. It uses a
calorie shifting technique that keeps your metabolism from slowing down during weight loss.

Weight Loss - How to Lose Weight and Gain Energy
By
Bill W.Whenever I start to diet in an attempt to lose weight I find I have no energy. Heard that before?
You look in the mirror and your eyes and good sense tell you are carrying a few extra pounds and that losing them and getting back to your "best fighting weight" when you were younger would make you feel much healthier and fitter. And yet when you start your chosen dieting program you become lethargic, without the energy to do anything.
The first thing you have to remember is that your life has probably changed to a degree that you do not realise. From single to married, children, advancement at work, it comes gradually and you seem to cope but the truth is underneath the surface it all builds up. As a consequence we tend to think more about other people and less about ourselves. That is until that day when we stop looking at ourselves in the mirror through rose colored glasses.
It is a very lucky person who does not have to reassess their life at some point and make a change. Our bodies do change as well as our lifestyles and by recognising that something needs to change we have taken a very important first step.
The next step of course is to start a diet but which one? There are so many it can be confusing and easy to be persuaded by the marketing. Many go for the rapid weight loss offer but this is a disaster waiting to happen. So often the only loss you make is weight from your wallet as the rapid loss is followed by rapid gain when the intense diet programe cannot be sustained. Along with that rapid weight loss comes the lack of energy, which is no great surprise when we are robbing our bodies if the vital food source it requires to manufacture that energy.
Much better is choosing a diet plan that allows you to eat, trains you to eat a little less than your body requires and just as importantly eat healthier foods that are far more nutritious.
Substitute fast food with fresh fruit and vegetable and you will see and feel a big difference. The excuse for not preparing meals from fresh produce is that there is not enough time in the busy day. There may be the occasional time when this is true and convenience food is essential to stoke the boiler. Don't feel guilty if it is "once every blue moon" but make sure that you are a person who has good personal control who does not fall back into lazy habits. But let us be clear, it is much, much better to make time for you and cook a good wholesome and healthy meal.
Combine healthy food with a small lifestyle change (a bit more YOU time), add some gentle exercise that you can build up if you begin to enjoy it and you will find that you can lose weight and gain energy.
Please remember to have a check up with your doctor before embarking on any major diet or exercise programs.

Start to Diet writes on subjects relating to weight loss, healthy diet and healthy lifestyle.

How To Lose Weight Quickly
By
Dana MadisonNo worries! In this article, we'll look at some effective and safe techniques. There are two strategies that you will want to incorporate into your kick-start weight loss program. They are exercising and what and how much you eat. Now is a good time to make a promise to yourself about cooking and eating healthier meals. You can still eat well, but shave off some of the fat laden calories in your diet.
Once you get serious about getting your body into shape with a good weight loss program, things will start to fall into place. You are now in the process of being healthy and looking good at the same time. The most effective strategy can be a combination of different workouts.

Since you are going to do this, you should get the green light from your health care provider. While there are several weight loss programs that can help you lose the unwanted pounds, you may have a medical condition, which may slow your results.
If this is the case, you will need to work with your health care provider to find alternate ways to lose weight quickly. This may mean looking at the different weight loss diets that are abundantly around. Or even in severe cases, weight loss surgery. It may even be something as simple as taking food supplements your doctor recommends.
These are just a few of the ways that you can safely lose weight quickly. The long-term results from looking at sensible weight reduction plans will show themselves in the confident way that you look and act.

Stretchercise for Health and Weight Loss
By
Francine HemwayI never used to stretch. Then I lost over 186 pounds. Now I stretch.
If you do not exercise, you probably are not going to, so do what you can easily do for your health. If you do exercise, and you are going to continue, you can easily add stretching for your health. Take a lesson from cats.
Cats don't exercise. They stretch a lot; cats stretch immediately in several directions when waking from sleep or a nap, and will most often stretch almost any time they go from lying or sitting to standing. They even stop to stretch just because as they're walking somewhere.
Stretch your way to better health. Stretching has previously been considered a program for seniors or those recuperating; however, if you are overweight stretching may be a life saver for you. Stretching promotes elasticity in our muscles and joints and keeps us limber. How limber you are determines how you react to a slip and fall; it makes the difference between being injured and being able to catch yourself to prevent or minimize injury.
Stretching is also an excellent aid to diet and weight loss for the overweight or obese, and particularly for the morbidly obese; it is even appropriate for childhood adolescent obesity. The more overweight we are, the harder it is for us to exercise even if we want to: stretching lets us keep our muscles working and is the perfect way to enter the exercise arena as you lose weight.
Overweight and out of shape, or fit trim and in shape, any stretching program should start with care and caution. Consult your doctor before beginning any exercise program. Stretchercise as a program is done in multiple small doses many times during the day. If you do not exercise and get little physical motion, you should stretch for 2-5 minutes every hour.
One of the great things I discovered about stretching is that you can do it at length, with or without music, as an exercise program. Or you can do it for 30 seconds to a minute once an hour. In fact, much of it you can do while you're working, as a stress reducing little multi-task. You can do it watching TV, you can do it when you cook: you can actually make any movement you make a stretch.
And it feels good. And it increases circulation. And it reduces stress, muscle tension and fatigue. And it gives the muscles in your back that have been supporting you a much needed periodic respite. And it gives you energy.
As we age, flexibility decreases: it's use it or lose it. Stretching is an important factor in keeping muscles and joints flexible. The more flexible we are as we age, the fewer number of things become too hard for us to do, and the fewer aches and pains we have. Irrespective of health, it certainly extends our ability to maintain a satisfying quality of life. Stretchercising also helps if you have any weight control issues.
When stretching, you can use the corner of a wall as a stabilizing factor, which allows you to lean and stretch without fear of losing your balance. Whether you are doing your stretching on the floor, bed, in a chair, or standing, stretching to your favorite music tape will make time fly if you're stretching to exercise. (Minimum time to call it stretchercise should be 3 minutes to start, and as you become accustomed to it gradually continue to increase the amount of time.)
Stretching at your computer, be it your arms or just easily leaning side to side is good for you. You can tighten and loosen muscles of the arms, legs, and derrière any place, most any time. You can roll your neck; this is a great tension buster and helps prevent headaches.
Be sure when you stretch that you only go as far as is comfortable. Stretching should never hurt. You will probably find that, over time, you will begin to be able to do each stretch a little further comfortably. You may want to do a little research at your local bookstore, library, or on the Internet about yoga; it will provide many ideas and much helpful information about healthy stretching.
One last great thing I discovered about stretching: there are so many ways, places, and times to do it and so many muscles that can, and should, be stretched, anybody can become a master stretcher by trial and stretchercise.
Francine Gail Hemway is a former school teacher and district superintendent. Her first book, Beauty and the Yeast Beast: from Fat to Fairy Tale, was a presentation of the theories that led her to lose over 186 pounds without surgery and a program to follow to obtain similar results. Her latest book, The Big, Bad, O: the Brutality of Obesity, offers an honest perspective of the state of obesity in America and warns that the ostrich mentality of the U.S. in regards to the broad social and economic implications of obesity must change.

Dieting - Can it Detoxify My body?
By
Elaine OldenDieting will detoxify the body and flush out certain toxins and chemicals that remain in the body from an unhealthy lifestyle. Smoking in particularly stops the toxins being flushed away by the blood. However by dieting and drinking plenty of water will flush out these remaining toxins and improve your health and as a bonus will improve your taste buds. You will be able to taste flavors you have not before as they have been suppressed by smoking. By flushing out with water used together with your diet plan you could well improve your skin complexion. The body does have a remarkable way, a natural way of detoxing the body normally. But certain diet plans will supercharge the effect and help it happen quicker.
Dieting to Detoxify
One plan to detoxify your body is the cabbage soup diet, based around water intake, through soups, drinks with elimination toxins, sugars, and carbohydrates. A combination of all of these over a period of a week will flush out the system. The only side effect and evidence of your body detoxifying is the onset of periodical headaches, but it is only natural and is only a common occurrence when detoxing the body. Stay with it and you will feel better once you get to the other side and you will have purified your body.
The same is true of fast food and junk food. These hold a lot of process rubbish toxins within the food itself and these need to be expelled. If you are overweight or obese, and you want to detox, maybe you need to see your doctor or health advisor to seek if you should be going on a detox plan. Some of the side effects may feel uncomfortable but, as mentioned before, are necessary to detoxify.
Dieting Plans
A couple of simple ways of detoxing your body. Water fasting. This is simple. You stop eating food and simply drink water, and let your body do the rest and expel the toxins. As soon as the digestion stops, your body can then concentrate on cleaning up the body and focusing it's energy on the clean up efforts.
Start first with a twenty-four-hour fast, and then if you are happy with that, go on to forty-eight hours or seventy-two-hour fasting. Plan your water fast for a period of time when you can rest as it will make you tired, lacking in energy, and potentially miserable, so you do not want to fast while still at work.
Another option is juice fasting. A juice gives the body a great content within the juice and enables the body plenty of energy to do the renewing task and cleansing of the system. For this, you will need to own your own juicing machine as commercially bought juices are not beneficial as they do not carry the required amount of enzymes to help your body digest quickly. Juices that can be created and made by yourselves will be carrots, spinach, apple, cabbage, and pineapple, as these are excellent options for a juice fast.
If you look around on the net or elsewhere, you will find many specialized detoxification diets and program plans that target particular areas of the body like the digestive tract and the liver.
You need to do your search first and get medical advice before taking on any of these programs for your long-term health.

Boost Your Metabolic Rate and Start Losing Weight
By
Riki ChonThe metabolism is one of the most understood processes of the human body. You may have even made the mistake of believing it was a body part! (It is not), and the lack of information is leaving people confounded.
Every year, tens of millions of people undertake to retake control over their health and the shape of their body; and each year, tens of millions of people feel that they have "failed" because, try as they might, they just can not speed up their metabolism.
Your metabolic rate is the rate at which your body burns calories to maintain day to day metabolic actions and reaction, generally accelerating your metabolic rate the less fat your body will carry.
Here are ten ways you can do to boost your metabolic rate.
1. Drink green tea. Green tea when drunk on a regular basis has been shown to accelerate the metabolism.
2. Consuming more spicy foods also help boost your metabolic rate but only for a short time.
3. Build more muscle. Muscle burns calories just by being there, your muscles burn calories even when you are asleep. Using muscle building to build muscle on a regular basis is a calorie burning investment for the future.
4. Drink plenty of water. Your body can not carry out its metabolic functions without sufficient water.
5. Never skip breakfast, you should have something to eat as soon as possible after waking up. After you eat your body gets the message that food is abundant and it's safe to rev up the system.
6. Eat regular meals. Several small meals spread though out the day are best than one or two big meals. This tactic will reinforce that food is abundant message.
7. Don't partake in fasting or low calorie dieting. When you fast or drastically cut back your calories intake your body gets the famine message and slow down the metabolic rate to conserve calories and stored food supplies.
8. Get plenty of exercise like walking, running, and swimming movement is a great way to boost metabolism and even after you stop exercising the metabolism keeps burning at an increase rate for a few hours.
9. Try to avoid stress, it causes your body to release hormones that slow metabolism.
10. Eat food which require a large percentage of the calories to digest them.

Weight Loss For Busy People
By
Ed GrinderThere are things, which we must do and things which we want to do, which have a higher priority to us than spending hours and effort on weight loss. Professionals recommend that we spend valuable time and effort to lose weight though exercise programs and proper diet, but what we need is a simple, easy, and effective way to lose weight.
We need a program which will fit into our busy life style and allow us to do all of the important things of our lives with minimum interruptions. Exercising involves time for the exercise, time for travel and time for the clean up from the activity. This time can be hard to find in the 24 hour day, which must include family, work, and other interest. Either we don't exercise or we take the time from other activities. Neither answer is perfect, and we carry the extra pounds to show the answer we chose.
People will tell you of their diet plan and how to lose weight. There are many plans for you to consisted, and even become confused by all the different diet theories. But all the plans suggest you should eat less And exercise. I suggest that you use moderation in what and how much you eat,what exercise you do and who you believe.
AS for as the stress, which comes from trying to lose weight, from the cravings, binge eating, and not eating to satisfy our hunger. This stress will defeat us unless we understand the cause of it. The cause is a nutritional deficiency in the brain. This lack of neurotransmitter in the brain cause the message "I need specific nutritions" to be misunderstood as "I need more food". And we eat until the brain is satisfied and the body is overloaded. All the unused is stored as fat. The body is very efficient at storing for"bad" times and we can see the results.
Suggestions from people we trust can have more impact on what we chose to believe than facts. And some facts do not fit in our belief system, which we have developed over our life span. A good example is that weight loss must involves work and time. This does work, but it takes time, which we don't have. We need a system of weight loss which can fit into our busy, busy days. and a system that works year after year.
There is a system. It was developed by the Russian's space program to prevent bone loss, while in orbit of the earth. The system has other benefits. Weight loss is the one I'm most excited about. In ten minutes a day. We can lose weight and maintain that loss.
This is very doable. With some slight reorganizing of our time, We can control our eating and get the exercise we need in only ten (10) minutes per day. This allows us time for family and work, and prolong our natural lives. We will enjoy all of the activities more due to our increased stamina and our physical appearance.
Weight loss for busy people seems to be a hit and miss proposition. I've just completed a new report, "10 Weight Loss Tips For Busy People", which I've been using to successfully lose weight and inches.
Ed Grinder has just completed a new article,

Best Exercise to Lose Belly Fat
By
R.T. BucherThe best exercise to lose belly fat is not what you think. You can do sit ups till the cows come home and never see substantial weight lost. Your first exercise should be reducing your carbohydrate and fat intake. Once you have cleaned up your diet, you can start seriously thinking about the best exercise to lose belly fat. I would focus not on one, but three abdominal workouts.
First you should buy an inexpensive workout ball, the type you blow up. You will want to use this for three main exercises. You will want to target three sections of your abs muscles. The rectus abdominus which is the section responsible for the much coveted six pack look, the transverse abdominus located on the side and the external oblique which is also located near the side.
All three of these combines are the best exercise to lose belly fat. You need to understand something right now. You can sit on your exercise ball and do one sit up after another and never gain the results you desire. You need to learn proper muscle contraction at the top of every repetition. Now, let's look at three varied movements which will really begin to help you lose belly fat.
Sit on the exercise ball with your butt and have your legs flexed and shoulder width apart. Place your hand across your chest. Make one repetition and squeeze the abs and the crunch position, I mean really squeeze them. Do this 25 times and you will start to feel the burn. I always commit to three sets of 25 reps.
Lie on your back and place the exercise ball between your ankles. Raise the ball towards the sky and squeeze the abs. Lower the legs and squeeze the abs once more. Follow the same rep pattern as #1.
Lie on your back and put the exercise ball under your knees like you would if you were lying on the floor watching TV and you had your legs on the couch, only this time your couch is the exercise ball. Lift your chin towards your knees with your hands across your chest and squeeze your abs at the top. Then slowly lower your chest while maintain tight abs. Follow the same repetitions as the exercises one and two.
These are the best exercises to lose belly fat. Plus, you should couple these with healthy eating habits and you are well on your way to a leaner and healthier you.

1 Weight Loss Key Is Proven to Help You Lose 20 Pounds in 1 Month the Healthy Way
By
Jason ClemensHow can you lose 20 pounds in 1 month without sacrificing your health on pills, fad diets or surgery?
Right away I can hear some wise guy saying "just stop eating"...That is one possibility. But I definitely don't recommend it! And would you believe that if you stopped eating right now you still wouldn't lose weight as fast as with what I am about to share?
Nearly 100% of all weight loss methods produce results that are shaky to say the least. Why?
Because they do not focus on the cause of your weight problem. Contrary to popular belief, most people are not obese because they over-eat, they are because they are under-nourished. The only reason that you are overweight is because you have not given your body what it needs...
Now I realize that this idea seems far-fetched...But if you want to lose weight at lightning speed you can't afford to miss the following statement - Giving your body what it needs in the form of highly nourishing food will cause you to lose substantial weight in a very short amount of time.
How much weight? As much as you want. I know people who have lost 20 pounds in 1 month with very little struggle by applying four simple things... Eating dynamite food is among the most important!
Think about it...Most overweight people consume a diet consisting of mostly empty calories...Fast food, soda, and nearly any food that comes in a box that you purchase off the super market shelf. These are calories that your body hates. So what does it do? It stores them as fat.
What would happen if you only ate foods that your body loved? It would stop producing more fat! Therein lies the key to fast weight loss. What happened to that puddle of water on your driveway once it stopped raining? It evaporated! Turn the rain off and the water goes away...Turn the fat producing food off and the fat will disappear!
Why is this so exciting?
Because it takes all of the confusion out of weight loss!
Simply consume highly nourishing food each and every day and you will lose weight and lose it quickly!
So there is one question left?
What is the most nourishing, best weight loss food that you can consume?
I'll give you a hint...It is nothing that can be produced by the hands of man...In fact, man does nothing but completely mess it up!

How To Lose Stomach Fat Quickly - Stomach Fat Loss Made Easy
By
Beth LarsonLet's face it, losing stomach fat isn't easy! Men and women alike struggle with losing stomach fat for various reasons. Usually our stomachs are one of the last places on our bodies where we lose fat which can make it more difficult to lose. For women, issues with hormones and pregnancy can make losing stomach fat even more difficult.
The good news is that losing stomach fat doesn't have to be as difficult as it may seem. Part of the problem is that most people approach their stomachs incorrectly, focusing on sit-up and crunches, lots of cardio and low fat or low calorie diets. While these things will help to a point, they are not the best way to tackle belly bulge. Here are some tips on how to lose stomach fat quickly and get the sleek, toned stomach that you want.
One mistake that most people make is doing tons of sit-ups and crunches thinking that it will help them to drop the fat from their stomachs. Here's the deal, though. While sit-ups will help you to build your stomach muscles, they don't do anything to get rid of the fat that you carry in your midsection. That means that while you may have awesome stomach muscles they are hidden away under a layer of fat so you can't see them.
To combat this most people try doing cardio. Now, cardio is a great way to burn a lot of calories, but it is not the best way to get rid of stomach fat. Rather than focusing your efforts solely on cardio you should work on adding lean muscle mass to your body. See, muscle takes a lot more energy for your body to maintain than fat does. To give your muscles the energy they need your body burns calories. That means that the more lean muscle you have in your body the more calories you are going to burn. Even better is that you don't just burn extra calories while you are working out, but even while you are sitting around watching TV or sleeping as well. Lean muscle will boost your metabolism and help the fat start to melt away.
To get the biggest impact focus on adding muscle to the biggest muscle groups in your body like your legs and backside. A great way to do this is by doing lunges and squats. And ladies, don't worry - you won't bulk up when you add muscle. Instead your body will become sleek and toned, much like the bodies of models and celebrities.
Finally, you need to take a look at your diet to get the best fat loss results. Starvation diets, low fat and low carb aren't the answer to losing stomach fat. The problem is that most traditional diets focus on losing weight rather than losing fat, and that means you can lose both lean muscle and water weight along with fat. Not only that, but most diets don't give your body enough calories and as a result your metabolism slows down. That makes it harder to lose weight and easier to put it back on when you go back to eating normally.
Instead of a weight loss diet you should follow a diet specifically designed for fat loss. A
fat loss diet will help you to melt the excess fat off your stomach and expose the flat muscles underneath. To learn more about fat loss diets, get diet recommendations and find out more about losing stomach fat, visit

Losing Weight The Safe And Natural Way
By
Glenn DownerLosing weight is probably one of the hardest tasks a person can face, but it doesn't have to be. It is a simple formula of eating healthy, getting some exercise, and drinking plenty of water. That's it!
I know, I can hear all the moaning from here, but that really is the formula for losing weight. By the way, I am not some skinny person who found this information in some book, and decided to pass it on.
I struggled with a weight problem my whole life, and one day while looking in the mirror after a shower, I joined a weight loss clinic. All they did was give me some photo copied menu's to follow, told me to exercise, drink water, gave me a dietary supplement, and had me come in every week to get weighed. No it wasn't weight watchers.
I was upset to say the least when I left their office because I paid a fairly large sum of money (up front), and this was it. Where are the specialist, the doctors?
When I got home I read their menus. They wanted me to eat chicken, CHICKEN, I don't eat chicken, I eat pizza. They wanted me to drink water. WATER, I don't drink water, I drink soda.
This is not good!
But then reality set in, and I realized that eating pizza and drinking soda is what got me where I was, and it wasn't a good place, so I knew I had to do it. The foods were basically what we should all be eating anyway. Lean meat, poultry, fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and whole grains.
The enemies are flour, sugar, and salt. If you can keep most of your meals to the foods above, and stay away from the enemies, you have a very good beginning for losing weight. A good idea is to buy a cookbook that has recipes for losing weight and eating healthy. Try to stay away from store bought foods that are already prepared. They are usually not a good choice.
If you need to buy store bought, learn to check ingredient labels, because they can be very deceiving. See how many serving they say are in the package. That's a favorite trick of food packagers, to say there are 4 or 5 servings in a package, that anyone can see is for one or two people.
Now when you read the label, and it says 25 grams of carbs, you say, gee, that's not too bad. But that's 25 grams per serving, and your package has 5 servings. Ut O. That's how they get you.
The bottom line is if you make a commitment to follow this weight loss plan, it will work! Just slowly work your way into it. Don't decide to start losing weight Monday, or next Tuesday, or the first of the year, or whatever, start today. But start slowly, this is not a diet, this is a life style change. Get the word diet out of your head. You are going to lose weight by changing your eating habits forever.
To finish my story, I followed the plan that the weight loss center put me on to the letter, and started losing weight quickly. I was losing two to three pounds a week, eating three meals a day. After six months the weight loss place I was going to wanted me to renew my membership, but because of the price they charged I dropped out.
I knew the plan, and could do it on my own. The only problem was they would not give me the weight loss supplement any more, and that really slowed down my results, to about a pound or less a week.
It's hard to find a good safe supplement, and that took me some time, but I finally did and got back on track. When I started this program I was 305 pounds, and I got down to 188 pounds and still holding. Looking back, it was all worth it because I feel so much better, and I know I am much healthier.
My mother always had two sayings that I would run through my head whenever I was having a weak moment, "A minute on the lips, forever on the hips" and " Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels".
After losing over one hundred pounds, Glenn Downer started writing articles on how to lose weight, the safe and natural way, and keep it off. He has written several articles for various newsletters and websites. You can visit his web site at:

Food is not your enemy like most people think, you just need to eat in moderation.
Some People Eat To Live While Others Live To Eat

You need to realize that you have a problem if you are over eating. Now with that being said you need to realize you are only one step away from the key to losing weight.
Eat More Food
You just said you need to eat less, what's going on here? OK, let me explain, yes I did say eating too much will cause you to become overweight. But the key is actually eating every few hours, but only eating small meals.
Eating Every Few Hours Jump Starts Your Metabolism
If you eat around 5 small meals per day you are going to lose weight, you just need to cut your calories. Make sure you only eat small meals and also make sure you eat breakfast. Breakfast is very important when it comes to losing weight, without it your body's metabolism never starts and stores fat.
Small Frequent Meals is The Key
You need to know what sort of foods to eat though, but low fat and low carb will do the trick.
