New Better Ways to Lose Weight
By
Carolyn HansenMany people believe they have become overweight because they have a slow metabolism (the body's engine). While it is certainly true that some people are simply born with faster metabolisms even if you believe yours to be slow you can make some lifestyle changes to speed it up so you can burn off that body fat quickly.
The two main factors that relate to your metabolic rate are your activity levels and your eating plan. Because our modern day lifestyles lack muscle building and maintaining activity we need to replace it with strength training exercise. Toned muscle tissue is what drives your metabolism. So the first thing to do is to give it a tune up.
One of the challenges people face when trying to get into better physical shape and lose some weight is knowing what exercise and eating plan to follow. Without the help of a structured program many people try to wing it alone. But they do not have the motivation, the knowledge
and the support that is necessary in order to make lasting changes to their lifestyle.
While the latest fad diet and obsessive exercising can give short term results, they are not realistic ways to truly bring about the long term changes to not only the body but the mind as well. It is best and fastest to use a fitness professional to help achieve this.
Speeding up your metabolism means learning how to dedicate the time and energy to a proper exercise program and it means learning not only correct exercise technique but also the correct level of intensity (degree of difficulty). If you fail to practice these two important things it is unlikely to be intense enough to stimulate and increase your metabolic rate.
Letting go of self defeating attitudes about food and dieting is an all important part of speeding up your metabolic engine. We now know restrictive dieting doesn't work, in fact it works against your body rather than with it to achieve a slimmer body. Now it is about feeding your body with proper and nutritious foods to generate enough energy to do justice to your exercise program.
A food diet of 2100 calories for men and 1800 calories for women has been called a 'starvation diet' by the World Health Organization. Yet women alone have for decades been routinely eating less than 1500 calories per day while trying to lose weight. Any wonder 95% of all diets fail.
The minute food is restricted to these levels the body goes into 'diet shock' slamming on the brakes and slowing the metabolism to preserve fuel in an effort to avoid what it perceives as starvation. You can really only drop one or two hundred calories from your normal daily eating to remain under the radar of this ancient but fool proof 'survival mechanism'. That way you will make long term headway into true fat loss and retain lots of vital energy so you can exercise hard to keep your metabolism cranking.
This is all the opposite of what we have been used to, but we cannot go on the way we have been. What is the definition of continuing to do what doesn't work? Pretty silly really isn't it? Why not use the truckloads of research and new information to get what we all really want - a strong, lean, shapely, firm, energetic body.
For those who are just beginning on the path to weight loss or for those that are simply trying to maintain their weight and tone up, it can be overwhelming to know where to start that is why a fitness professional can show you the quickest path and make sure you get the results you want.
Getting serious about your weight really means getting serious about your health. How you exercise and what you eat are the main factors that will either help you or prevent you from reaching your goals. Getting the proper tools and knowledge will ensure that you don't fall back into defeating behaviors that lead you further away from your goals.
With the help of trained experts with a structured program you can address your nutrition, exercise, and personal goals in order to achieve total body wellness. This will keep your metabolism functioning at the highest possible level to achieve your best healthiest self.

Hiking is a Great Way to Stay in Shape
By
Alice LaneMany people carry around an extra pound or two (or twenty), and are constantly looking for a way to stay trim. While some just want to look good with their shirt off, the health benefits of being at a healthy weight are a good incentive to shed a couple pounds. If you are overweight, you probably don't like going to an appointment at a South Chicago healthcare facility, since you are probably only getting bad news. Fortunately, it can be different. Instead of struggling with your weight constantly, you can lose pounds and have fun at the same time. If you incorporate hiking into your life, you get the bonus of seeing lots of beautiful sights while burning calories.
When it all adds up, hiking can be a safe and effective way to get yourself to a healthy weight-and stay there.
If you thinking hiking might be for you, it would be a good idea to get some basic equipment. The amount of gear you need to buy will depend on whether or not you want to integrate camping into your hiking regimen, but there are some things all hikers will need. The first thing you want to find is a good pair of hiking shoes. The type of shoe you want hinges on what sort of terrain you'll be hiking on, as well as what type of foot you have. Make sure to pick a comfortable shoe.
If you don't, you might get blisters and foot pain that won't necessarily land you in the Monee Illinois hospital, but it won't feel very good. If you need extra ankle support or will be hiking on really rocky terrain, you can always get a boot with a higher cut.
Once you get your shoes and some comfortable clothes, slather on some sunscreen and get out there to hike. Chances are you will be able to find some trails by your house. If you can't, do a little searching to find the nearest trails. Even if you have to drive a bit, hiking can be worth it. Just make sure to have a map of the trails you'll be hiking on, as well as an adequate supply of food and water. Taking a first aid kit is a wise choice, and you should always let someone know where you are and when to expect you back. If you break your leg and need to be brought to a Manteno hospital, you have a better chance of being looked for if you told someone where you'd be and when you'd be done. Hopefully your hiking will be injury-free, however, and you'll start losing the weight you don't want!
Hiking is fun, and if you lose weight while doing it, you might not need
South Chicago healthcare quite as much. It's good to know, however that if you need emergency care at a
Monee Illinois hospital or a Manteno hospital, Riverside Healthcare is ready to take care of you. To learn more about these facilities and a whole lot more, visit Riverside Medical Center today!

Get Rid of Fat and Cellulite With Prickly Pear Cactus
By
Angie LewisWhat if I told you there was a supplement to get rid of fat without having to exercise? That you could eat a pepperoni pizza and the fat from the pepperoni would not absorb into your body causing fat and cellulite buildup? You would think I'm off my rocker, wouldn't you? Instead the fat from the pepperoni would bind itself onto the prickly pear cactus and be excreted through the natural process of elimination. Sounds too good to be true, doesn't it?
How Does Prickly Pear Work?
Prickly Pear Cactus is first dried into a powder. This prickly pear powder is then mixed in with other herbs to create an organic dietary supplement that has been clinically tested and proven to fight stubborn fat. Powered by NeOpuntia and the It Works beauty products. It Works has created a proprietary blend called Advanced Formula Fat Fighter. Fat Fighter delivers powerful results! The Prickly Pear Cactus or Opuntia ficus-indica creates two types of dietary fiber, NeOfiber and NeOmicel. These fibers work together and bind with the fat from the food you eat.
This binding process creates an insoluble gel in the stomach where it passes through the digestive tract where it is eliminated naturally. There are virtually no side effects; it's safe to use and non-habit forming.
If I Take Fat Fighter Can I Eat Whatever I Want And Still Lose Fat and Cellulite?
Some people don't eat as well as they would like because they don't have time for a healthy sit down lunch or dinner. To counteract the unhealthy and fattening food they take the Fat Fighter supplement. But supplements are called supplements for a very good reason-to supplement or complement other beneficial methods. Think of Fat Fighter as an assistant. If your two year old has a life vest on in the swimming pool does that mean you wouldn't keep your eye on them while they are in the pool? No, it means you would still keep a close eye on them but you would supplement with the life vest just in case. It is the same way with Advanced Formula Fat Fighter. It's only another method to assist you in your weight loss journey. Supplements of any kind should always be used in conjunction with a good daily diet and exercise. On those days when you really can't sit down to a healthy meal, the supplements will come in handy to grab onto that fatty meal and get rid of it for you. But we should never replace healthy eating or exercise with a supplement. Think of Advanced Formula Fat Fighter as another stepping-stone toward your weight loss journey.
What Exercise Works Best With The Fat Fighter Supplements?
The best way to burn fat (calories) is through exercise, and any cardiovascular exercise will help to burn off the fat. One of the best exercises for anyone in any shape and size is brisk walking. I don't think there is any better exercise on your joints, mental and emotional health then getting outdoors with a friend or spouse and doing some fast walking. If you aren't used to walking very far or fast, start out slow and only walk one mile. After two weeks walk a little bit faster and walk two miles. Walking three miles briskly every day will keep the fat off. It will take anywhere between 45-minutes to 1-hour to walk three miles, depending on how fast your pace is.

Flat Stomach - Men and Women
By
Howard HaynesA flat stomach. Men, this is what you want. Women, this is what you want. Men, this is what you want in women! And women, this is what you want in men. Come on, be honest!
Next to the eyes, a nice, toned set of abs has been called the man's sexiest body part by women in surveys. But how do you achieve it?
Best is to achieve it through a four-pronged attack plan.
In any battle, you know that the best way to attack the enemy is to attack him on all fronts. The same goes for abdominal fat. Why neglect any weapon in your arsenal when you don't have to?
This is especially in light of the fact that abdominal fat can be some of the trickiest to get rid of. Especially in men, this is the area were fat is most likely to be stored first.
However, it is also possible for women to get a potbelly. Especially after pregnancy, the stomach, along with the hips and thighs, are prime fat storage areas.
But how to flatten the stomach? Remember our four-pronged approach. Our four weapons consist of the following:
1. A sensible diet. This need not be starvation. however, you must take in fewer calories than you burn if you wish to lose any fat.
One good tip is to drink plenty of water. While this can increase your need to take bathroom breaks, it can help you feel more full. To avoid losing that feeling of fullness after you go to the bathroom, I advise sipping water throughout the day.
2. Aerobics. This is necessary because, to lose a pound of fat, you need to burn 3500 more calories than you take in. Aerobics can be any kind of activity you enjoy, walking, running, swimming, bicycling, basketball or tennis. Any activity that gets the heart beating for lease 30 minutes a day.
3. Weight training. Yes, weight training. If you want a flat stomach, men and women alike, this is important. Why? Because muscle is more metabolically active than fat. It burns calories even when we sleep. So, putting on lean body tissue is important. For every pound of fat that you replace with muscle, you end up burning dozens of extra calories a day.
Weight training need not be difficult, and workouts can take as little as 20 minutes. The American College of Sports Medicine recommends strength training two or three times a week.
4. Abdominal training. You may have heard that it is impossible to "spot reduce;" that is, to reduce fat only on one area of the body by exercising that particular area. This is true, which is why I recommend are four-pronged approach.
However, abdominal training is still important, because strengthening the abdominal wall helps to hold in the internal organs, and even helps with the process of digestion and elimination through the wavelike contractions of the abdominals. Furthermore, developing the abdominal muscles can result in a stomach that is less likely to poke outwards.
A flat stomach, men and women, is attainable. Just follow this four-part plan and see results.
Howard Haynes reveals the ultimate secrets of a flat stomach and reviews some of the top ab training programs at
Abs Blast. This article may be republished in any newsletter, ezine or website, provided this message is included.

The Truth About How to Lose Belly Fat
By
Liz A. LangleyHow to lose belly fat is by far the most frustrating weight issue faced by many women and men.
Not a day goes by that we do not see the famous and glamorous showing off their toned torsos and leave the rest of us feeling inadequate. If you are struggling with excess fat on your stomach and you want to know how to get rid of it then this article is for you.
To begin with we must face the facts. The unavoidable fact is that there exists no instant cure for belly fat. Diet pills may help in the short term but they cannot give a strong, toned tummy.
In order to lose belly fat permanently you need to combine exercise and diet. The only way to get a fat free, toned stomach is to eat a healthy diet and take up training of a cardiovascular and resistance nature. If you get this right losing your excess stomach weight won't be a struggle.
Don't think, for a second, that losing fat around your middle is easier for some than others or that you can't do it. The important point that you must remember is that you need to decrease the amount of calories that you consume on a daily basis. If you reduce your calorie intake to be less than that your body burns, you will lose weight. In order to lose 1lb of fat a week you need to consume 3,500 calories less, the equivalent of 500 a day.
There is a limit on how far you should go in reducing your intake of calories. A large reduction in your calorific intake can result in your system adopting starvation mode, which means it stores fat ! A modest reduction in your calorific intake combined with an exercise program can lead to a dramatic decrease in your weight and belly !
Regular walks, runs, swims or bike rides are the sort of cardiovascular exercises you need for weight loss. Weight resistance exercises should also be used on alternative days to help to tone and strengthen your muscles. Your local gym would advise you what exercise routine would be best for you.
The combination of gym and road work will make your fat belly a thing of the past.
Your diet should never include soda drinks, junk food or anything else with a high sugar or fat content.What should be the mainstay of your new lifestyle are fruit, vegetables and fish.
Don't view this shift in your lifestyle as a huge task, take it one step at a time, modest exercise and the right diet will have physical and psychological effects that you can hardly imagine.

By
Jenny PetersonArm flab is often particularly stubborn to shift, and for those that want to look their best, it can be a real concern.

But what people often fail to realize is that they can also shift arm fat by doing arm exercises, such as push ups and bench presses. Training these muscles on an ongoing basis can help both improve strength and convert excess fat into muscle. By working the specific muscle groups in the arm, you can tone up those muscles and eradicate unsightly flab in no time at all.
Now you know how to lose arm flab fast, all that's left to do is to get to work on losing weight and toning those muscles, on your quest for more defined, toned arms.

Weight Loss With Fruit
By
Lee Justin CollinsWeight loss with fruit can be a healthy option in a fight to lose those extra pounds, but is it as healthy as it seems? Let's take a look at how eating fruit can help you lose weight.
Eating fruit as a way of shedding extra pounds may sound like a great idea, but it is important to do this the correct way. Just eating a diet of oranges, bananas and apples may sound ideal, but it is also important to add other essential vitamins, minerals and nutrients to your diet.
The first basic rule when changing any diet is to take it easy. Do not make a sudden change to your eating habits, a slow steady change is important. Your body will take on a dietary change very slowly, so don't expect any overnight miracles.
Here is a few simple facts on weight loss with fruit.
Did you know that eating too much fruit can actually make you put on weight. Fruit is high in natural sugars, with grapes being one the worst culprits for sugar content. As a rule, eat around 2 cups (half a pound) of fruit per day. This is based on a dietary intake of 2000 calories.
Do not just eat fruit. Eating a balanced diet is very important, with vegetables also being a leading factor in a balanced diet. You should eat around 2 and a half cups of vegetables everyday, this being less than the RDA for a 2000 calorie diet. This diet is only based on eating 2 cups of fruit in your meal plan everyday.
Consuming a large amount of fruit in a short time when you haven't done so before, can actually make you sick, making your body detoxify. Consume fruit slowly, making the change to your diet gradual.
We have looked at weight loss eating fruit and the facts . As with any diet, it is recommended that you check with your local doctor when changing you diet.

Walk Your Way to Weight Loss Heaven
By
Steve HillI am often asked the following question: What is the best way to lose my excess weight? People ask me this question as I have successfully managed to attain my target weight after having spent the majority of my life as some what of a porker! This is me taking the "mickey" out of myself as I am fully aware of just how obese I really was.
In my opinion there are three main ways to lose weight:
1. Cut down on your overall food intake, especially of those food types that we know are full of fat such as take aways.
2. Cut down on food and exercise more.
3. Eat the same amount of food as you regularly do but to increase the amount you exercise.
As a person who loves his food I went for the third option. I have to admit that I have never really enjoyed exercising and my chosen fitness regime entirely consisted of walking my dog! So how many walks per day are required? How long should each walk be? How fast should I be walking? Well each and every person is different and it would be a good idea to seek medical advice before commencing any form of exercise program. In general however the more the better is without doubt likely to bring the best weight loss results.
I personally take my lovely dog Cassie on five walks per day, they each last for around thirty minutes and I walk at what I would call an average pace, the dog does like to have "a sniff around" after all.

Lose Body Fat Quickly and Healthily
By
Jade C.Trying to lose body fat is a constant struggle for too many people. Because people become so frustrated with trying over and over again to finally burn off that body fat they want gone, they often turn to unhealthy crash diets. This is often spurred by slim, beautiful celebrities and models showing off their bodies all while stating that they "never diet or exercise," and that they must just have "good genes."
While there do exist people with super metabolisms who don't need to diet or exercise to stay fit and slim, they are a very slim minority. Unfortunately, the message these celebrities are sending out is quite irresponsible and can end up harming the self-confidence of many people who struggle with their weight and fitness.
In order to lose body fat quickly and healthily, you need to first learn about how your body works. Each day, your body tries to burn about as many calories as you consume, to keep everything balanced. When your body is overwhelmed for any of a variety of reasons, it will store some of these calories away as fat to use up in an emergency situation later. While technically the starvation diets may have you starve yourself to the point where your body will turn to these emergency fat reserves, in reality most of the weight lost is simply water weight and will return as soon as you being eating again.
When you work on burning off your body fat, you should focus on making lifestyle changes. That means evaluating your lifestyle, understanding what makes you tick and your relationship with food and exercise. Try drinking more water, walking to destinations more often, and decreasing the portions you put on your plate. This doesn't mean that you can't lose weight quickly and healthily, though! You may find that with some help, you'll find a method that works for you - and once you discover it, you'll find that your body will begin to respond very quickly to your efforts.
This site can help you learn about how to
lose body fat quickly without harming yourself or having to endure miserable diets! You'll find reviews, information, and product recommendations so you can get all the support you need.

The Goodness of Vegetable Juice
By
Jamie KheeCan drinking at least one glass of low sodium vegetable juice daily help you achieve better weight loss results? Studies conducted at the Baylor College of Medicine and presented recently at Experimental Biology Meeting, gives an affirmative response.
The research report found that participants who drank at least 8 ounces of low sodium vegetable juice as part of a calorie-controlled DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) lost 4 pounds over 12 weeks, but those who followed the same diet diet but drank no juice lost less.
DASH is a diet programme that emphasizes eating lean meat, lower fat dairy, whole grains, vegetables and fruits daily and more importantly keeping saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium in check. Its primary aims is to achieve a positive metabolic outcome.
Metabolic syndrome is defined by a cluster of of risk factors that includes excess body fat in the midsection, high blood pressure, high blood and abnormal blood lipids. Left unchecked, it will increase the risk for chronic diseases, such as heart disease, stroke or diabetes. An estimate 47 million Americans have some combination of these risk factors and are often overweight or obese as well.
To reverse the order of a negative metabolic syndrome, patients are guided on how to strike the correct balance between their diet and body weight. Getting a right balance will allow the patients to reverse the course of a negative metabolic syndrome and avert the risks of heart disease, stroke or diabetes.
What the study has been able to show is that by taking simple, proactive and disciplined steps such as drinking low sodium vegetable juice while watching calorie intake, patients can control their weight and reduce the risk of long term health implications.
The study also reported that vegetable juice drinkers were able to significantly increase their intake of vitamin C and potassium, at the same time decrease their overall carbohydrate intake.This is a significant step in obtaining a successful healthy weight loss.
Getting the authentic vegetable nutrition may not be difficult at all. Companies like Campbell's provides simple and convenient ways to help people get their daily dose of vegetable nutrition with products like the V8 100% vegetable juice. The study indicated that those who took daily 1 to 2 cups for 12 weeks were able to reap the good effects and enjoy better health.

Avoiding Common Diet Mistakes
By
Tiffany ProvostLike most people, you will want to see instant results when you make the effort to lose weight. Read through these common diet mistakes to see how you can avoid them and start dropping the pounds.
Get calories through liquids. You may think that as long as you eat healthy, the weight will come off. But don't forget about drinking healthy too. A lot of your daily caloric intake could be happening just by drinking a beverage other than water. Sodas, milks, pop you name it, they all add to your waistline. They are filled with empty calories that don't leave you feeling full. You should not make the diet mistake of drinking beverages that are very high in calories.
Insufficient consumption of food. Another wrong idea is that if you cut your calories drastically, the pounds will melt away. All you would be doing if you don't eat enough is sending your body a message that it needs to conserve fat stores. If your body thinks you're starving it starts packing away vital food supplies. Eat sufficient healthy food every day so that your metabolism is always working at its maximum. Fix this error and your mirror reflection will show the results.
Blame it on your genes. You know the kind of thing - "I got my hips from my grandma".
Everyone can come up with a reason why their diet isn't working. It is too bad that genes are not always the cause. Genetics are usually not the cause. Even if you do have the same body type as relatives doesn't mean you must expect to look the same way. Despite your genes, a good diet and exercise can still change your body.
Skipping breakfast. This is probably the most common diet mistake people make. Be sure to have a healthy and generous-sized breakfast or your metabolism will actually slow down. Unless your metabolism is high in the morning, your exercise may be a waste of time and effort.
Breakfast is important, but make sure it's a nutritious one. Doing this will keep you feeling full longer and help curtail snacking. This is truly one dieting error you should not make!
Don't quit. Losing weight is a process that works over time. You won't get the body of your dreams right away. Just keep plugging away with your healthy plan and avoid common diet mistakes. Eventually, you'll see the results you worked so hard to get.

Blunt Talk From a Former Fatty
By
Linda Joy AllanTake it from a former fatty. There's no good reason to eat fast food, and candy bars won't make you feel better about this bad economy.
You know how many calories are in those fast food hamburgers and milkshakes. Here's another reason to stop being a fast food junkie. There's way too much salt in all that fast food, too.
According to a new report from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC, about 70 percent of American adults would benefit from a low-sodium diet. But even though we should be getting about 1,500 milligrams of salt, the report says many of us are gobbling up 3,500 milligrams of salt. Too much salt can equal high blood pressure and heart problems.
So where's all that extra salt coming from? According to the CDC, most of it's coming from processed and fast foods - the same stuff that can make you fat. Take it from a former fatty! I once weighed more than 200 pounds, and fast food was a great way to feed my addiction! So add a dangerous new health threat of heart disease to the dangers of obesity to your list of reasons to stay away from fast food. And guess what? Candy bars won't fix your bank account, or make you feel better about this economy, either. The recent headline in the New York Times was: "When Economy Sours, Tootsie Rolls Soothe Souls." When the economy goes down, candy sales go up, the newspaper reported.
"Sugar is comforting," one candy buyer told the newspaper. If you're a fatty, like I was, there's not much comfort in looking in the mirror after you eat those candy bars. I was addicted to overeating and weighed in at more than 200 pounds. Did I use a bad economy or those so-called "healthy" new fast food menu items as my excuse? Nope. I didn't need an excuse. I ate when I was broke, when I had money, when I was sad and when I was happy. If I ate a "healthy" salad, I made sure to pour hundreds of calories worth of fattening dressings on top. Candy? I loved the stuff. But here's what happened.
I made the decision that I didn't want to be fat anymore. If you think you're addicted to overeating, let your mirror be your proof. Now I'm no longer fat, and I love it. I'm not afraid of looking in mirrors, and I don't think up dumb excuses to start overeating again. I quit. You can, too.

Running For Weight Loss - How to Lose Weight Fast
By
George MitchellRunning for weight loss is one of the best ways to lose weight. Many people have found that cardio workouts are one of the most effective means of dropping the pounds.
Of course, there are right and wrong ways to lose weight running. That's not to say that any kind of running won't work, because it will. However, some ways are faster than others.
Vary your speeds
One thing to avoid is just going at a constant speed the entire workout. Yes, you will still drop the pounds, but not nearly as fast as if you change up your speeds. The reason is, you only burn calories while running, and as soon as the workout ends, the calorie burning stops as well.
The way to do it is to vary your speeds, and not just go at the same speed the whole time. This way, you will actually continue burning calories for as many as eighteen hours following your workout. You can't beat that.
Part of the workout has to be sprinting. After you do this briefly, now do lower intensity exercising, either by just jogging or even walking. Continue following this method of speeding up, then slowing down, speeding up, slowing down, etc.
When sprinting you don't have to go any longer than ten seconds and then follow this with lower intensity for half a minute. You should probably try this pattern for roughly six minutes, and then have a two minute break.
This will help you maximize your results. Do this process three times, meaning your workout will be just under a half hour.
This method not only makes it easier to loss weight but also more fun. After all, who wants to just go at the same speed for a half an hour straight?
This can get particularly boring if you are just using a treadmill and staring at the wall the whole time. Varying your speeds will keep you interested regardless of whether you are working out indoors or outdoors.
Foods to eat
However, to go along with running for weight loss, don't forget that healthy eating is critically important as well. The only way you will lose weight is by losing more calories than you are taking in; if you follow this workout by eating a half pound burger, you will probably still lose weight but not nearly as fast as if you watched your diet.
What kinds of foods should you eat? Whole grains, fruits and veggies are always great, and I would strongly recommend you stay away from meat and dairy products as much as possible.
Once in a while is okay, but too much will hinder your efforts as well as your overall heath. If you need to, having one junk food day a week will minimize the damage.
Also, make sure to jot down everything you consume in a journal, and keep this up for two to three weeks; often times looking at the foods you eat will make it much more obvious the areas you need to change.
Many people have no idea what they've eaten over the past several weeks, so seeing it written out could come as quite a shock, which is often a good thing. If you do follow these running for weight loss tips and eat healthy, you will maximize your efforts and will start dropping the pounds very quickly.
Do you want to learn about the most powerful healthy eating
raw food diet ever developed? This is guaranteed to help you lose weight even if you've tried every other diet on the planet. Check out

The Lazy Way of Burning Fat Fast
By
Gabriel CojocaruLet's face it. We are all lazy and we are looking for the quick, lazy way of burning fat even when we sleep if possible. Speed imposed by our busy lives and stress are the biggest enemies of a healthy lifestyle and pushes us into looking the convenient, fast paced solutions to any problem.
Is it possible to burn fat by doing little to no effort? It is possible to lose weight without doing a lot of effort but it's not as fast as you'd wish it. The fast ways require more effort from you. The healthy, natural ways have medium speed. There are always plenty of choices and lots of methods to apply, however the topic of this article is the "lazy" way of doing things. Obviously, you need to do some changes in your lifestyle. It won't just happen because you read an article or a book on the topic.
Change number 1: Replace sodas and beer with water (or if you want an extra kick to your water make lemonade using lemons and honey)
Change number 2: Eat half a portion of what you are used to (you don't need for start to lose you favorite foods, remember it's the lazy way. You will only need to renounce at half of what your are eating.)
Change number 3: Whenever you can, walk instead of riding a train, using a cab or other transportation (if you can do a little jogging even better)
Change number 4: Monitor your weight constantly. You feel very bad when you'll found out at the end of the day you gain weight instead of losing it and it will be a powerful motivation factor. You can even trick yourself, by drinking lots of water it will add an extra kick when the water weight will be gone.
If you are ready to take action starting today and say goodbye forever to the unhealthy fat I can recommend
Acai Berry Select (excellent natural product to increase metabolism and Mood Enhancer) and
Bowtrol Colon Cleanse (to purge the toxins deposited in the colon)

The Most Effective Exercise to Lose Stomach Fat
By
Mark InglisRecent research has identified that losing fat from around the abdomen reduces the risk of many diseases and is one of the best ways you can ensure you stay healthy. There are two main types of abdominal area fat:
- Visceral fat is fat which is stored deep inside the body and surrounds and protects the vital organs;
- The other is Subcutaneous fat and is the fat many people carry just under the skin and the fat which you can pinch;
There are many abdominal exercises that you can you to use to lose belly fat. If over a prolonged period you consume more calories than you burn you will not lose your belly fat. So to ensure that you lose as much weight as possible, ensure you burn more calories than you consume over a prolonged period and exercise regularly.
So which us belly fat stomach exercises are the most efficient at burning the Subcutaneous fat from around the stomach?
So lets firstly address one incorrect myth. Doing hundreds of stomach crunches a day will not burn fat from around the belly. As already stated, in order to lose fat you need to live a calorie deficit life for a long period; you need to burn more calories than you consume. Not enough calories are burnt doing situps for it to be an effective way of losing stomach fat. The only way to effectively lose belly fat is to use a full-body training program that makes the most of both your metabolic rate and the body's hormonal response to your exercise routine. Therefore, the most important thing you can start to do if you are not doing it is to exercise regularly.
A full body training program is the best way to lose stomach fat and this is supported by recent research.In order for this exercise to be effective it needs to encompass both cardio vascular and resistance exercise. Many gurus believe that 30 or 40 minutes exercise 3 or 3 times a week is sufficient, this is in fact incorrect. The cross trainer is my personal favorite piece of equipment as 20 minutes of hard work can burn close to 400 calories. But remember, in addition to your exercise program eating a balanced healthy diet is crucial to long term successful weight control. Plan what you keep in the cupboards and plan you meals as you would plan you exercise and overtime you will see your abdominal fat reduce.

Health - Weight Loss Myths and Realities
By
Gordon Townsend and Lori Townsend
Weight loss is at a minimum a $100 Billion industry with a double digit growth rate. That's why EVERYBODY would like to get a piece of it - doctors, drug companies, nutritionists, authors, supplement companies, food companies, gyms, exercise equipment, shoes - all aspects of lifestyle can play into this market and their messaging. Where do you go and who do listen to? How do maintain the body style & shape that you feel is right for you?
If you are a person who is concerned your current body shape, this will be an extremely helpful essay - if you are not currently concerned with your body shape, use this to help others make sensible personal choices and do some planning for yourself.
This article will focus on 3 areas - the size and scope of the issue or the fact that you're not alone; why you gain weight and the three most common weight loss myths.
You're Not Alone
North America has a problem and the world in general has a growing problem - weight management. The baby boomers (post WWII) and later generations are at a unique confluence - highly mobile, industrialized society with extremely lost cost, highly processed but nutritionally deficient food served in large quantities with an emphasis on speed of preparation.
This has resulted in the following conditions throughout the country
65% of the population is overweight.
33% of children are obese or at risk
What's so amazing is that this is tip of the iceberg; in the last two generations, weight management related diseases / ailments have exploded in all age groups.
Type 2 Diabetes
Acid Reflux
Cancer
Cholesterol
Blood pressure
Stress
Fatigue
Erectile Dysfunction
These conditions are the core of current health care crisis in the country and they are lifestyle issues and are all moderately to extremely controllable by the individual.. Example: 70% of all U.S. deaths are from heart disease, cancer or stroke and 50% of these deaths are diet related.
Why You Gain Weight
Let's demystify weight management. In general it's pretty straightforward but in specific everyone needs to personalize a program to their needs. This is not a cop out - it's just to say everyone's body chemistry is a little different and the individual needs to take general principles and translate them into a personalized program.
It's true what some companies say - "diets don't work" BUT they don't tell you why. First, because you can't stick to them (ex: grapefruit diet) - so you roller coaster; second most programs don't come with support - people lose, maintain or gain weight best if they have a support system, usually a coach they can talk to- not friends or your partner/spouse. Third, the person really isn't serious. Real, sustainable results take time - talk is cheap. An ounce of commitment is worth a pound of promises - stick to it!
You eat healthy now and can't lose weight - take a look at what you eat (be honest). Example low fat yogurt. While the term "low" is relative anything that says low fat means that its high in sugars and vis versa or take salads, ever see someone get a salad and then put a ton of dressing on top or the person who gets a burger and fries and then a has a Diet Coke to "cut" calories - the list goes on. Here's what a good eating program looks like:
What the Body Needs... American Diet... Nutritional Diet
Sugar... High... Low
Fat... High... Low
Salt... High... Low
Calories... High... Low
Protein... Low... High
Fiber... Low... High
Here's the math of why we all gain weight. Under the American Diet an average number of calories consumed daily = 4,000. The average number of calories need to maintain the body = 2,000. Net waistline growth per day = 2,000 calories. WOW!
This doesn't into account the effect of the lower nutritional value of those calories that you take in from food processing. Example: the pasteurization process that milk goes through kills all the bacteria BOTH good and bad. By killing the good bacteria they destroy most of the nutritional value and the flavor of milk. A slightly lower temperature would kill the bad and leave the good but it's a little more expensive so dairy processing companies don't use it. You can't tell me that an out of season hothouse tomato tastes anything like one right off the vine. "Organic" or otherwise makes no difference. It's the processing.
Weight Loss Myths
When it comes to losing weight we all have our own stories - let's walk through the BIG myths:
It's all about Calories - NO. Unhealthy weight loss is all about calories. HEALTHY weight loss is about Nutrition. You do need lower calories in relation to how much activity you have BUT it needs to be balanced or you will go hungry all the time and cheat. Also, don't fall for those commercials of eating packaged foods and getting ripped abs - won't happen.
It's all about exercise - NO. Exercise is a complement not a substitute for fewer calories.
Exercise is for toning and shaping muscles and it takes a LOT of exercise to burn calories. Do not fall for equipment commercials that tell you 20 minutes a day of a routine workout get you those muscles - takes lots of exercise with the right diet, usually much higher in lean protein.
I Can't lose weight Myth - YES YOU CAN. ANYBODY can lose weight Here are the reasons why people don't have long term success - cheating, not enough water/detoxand too many of the wrong kind of calories
Magic answer/formula
Now you know the scope of the problem and you're not alone in fighting the battle of the bulge. You also know why you gain weight and the big myths that companies, friends, doctors and nutritionists like to tell us. Here is a framework that you can use with the right support coach in making great choices that fit your lifestyle.
Healthy/can maintain weight loss = proper nutrition
Faster loss = exercise
Tone and shape = more exercise
Proper Nutrition - your choice - your results
Refined / Simple Carbohydrates: Sugars, white breads, rice & pasta, fruit juice & white potatoes. High hunger control But only lasts 10 minutes - this is what produces constant cravings.
Complex Carbohydrates: Fruits, veggies. and whole grains (whole oatmeal, brown rice, whole wheat pasta & bread). Produces low hunger control that lasts 30 - 60 minutes.
Lean Protein: Chicken, fish, lean beef, egg whites and soy products. Medium hunger control lasting 2-3 hours
Complex Carbohydrates + Lean Protein: Meal replacement shakes, balanced meals, and balanced snacks. High hunger control that lasts 3+ hours. THIS IS THE BEST.
Find out what works for you. REMEMBER you don't have to settle, your great just the way you are and accept personal responsibility for whatever choices you decide to make.

Can Master Cleanse Really Deliver the Goods?
By
Cheryl A. VinniNowadays many people (most often females) are obsessed in gaining that perfect figure. You know, those perfect curves that school boys are fantasizing about. Some would try the traditional method of shaking off those excess weights like exercising until they drop. Others would go on diets like eating only a single fruit for the entire day. Some would even go to the extreme by fasting like a hermit until their eyes would turn white. Lucky for them there are other less extreme methods available that is said to help them in chopping off those inches in their waistline.
One of these popular methods is the Master Cleanse. A detoxification program that is said to work wonders. A person whose been living under a rock for ages might find these word a bit out of this world. So for the benefit of those who are unfamiliar with the program we will discuss some info about the program as simple as possible.
The Master cleanse is a dieting program that aims to cleanse the body and it removes any unwanted substances by means of drinking a magical lemonade made from fresh lemon or lime juice, maple syrup, water and cayenne pepper. It is also said that you shouldn't consume any solid food while under the program for 10 days. After doing the said program, it is said that you will certainly lose those unwanted weight and be healthier. Although most of the proponent of the cleanse do not recommend it as purely to be used as a weight reducing method.
The things mentioned above may sound good to the ears (except for the "don't eat any solid food for 10 days rule"). This program also has its downside. Some dietitians claim that people who are doing the program might be lacking protein and minerals. Some Medical authorities even gave a bold statement that people who lost weight during the program will gain it back in time.(Yikes!)
They don't even recommend that children, teens (people at this age bracket have the most population obsessed with losing pounds.) pregnant women, senior citizens, and most especially people with chronic disorders due to the risk factors associated with the program.
Well technically almost anything in this world has its good side and bad side. So don't be discouraged if you want to try this method. However I would recommend that you first consult your ever so helpful physician before you dive in (this is also recommended if you want to try other diets and programs.). Also try seeking out other choices and decide for yourself what method is most suitable and less dangerous for you. Good luck in shedding those pounds and try not to make it into an extreme sport.
Master Cleanse is the best
Detox Diet and can help you lose up to 20 pounds in merely 10 days! Look younger, ease chronic pain, cleanse your body of internal waste, and boost your energy levels in 10 days! Find out how Beyonce Knowles lost 20 Pounds with
Master Cleanse diet!

Why You Should Lose Those Unsightly Love Handles
By
Kim L SmithYou know you have love handles and you know that you want to lose them but don't know why you should. Well here are some reasons why you will want to try to lose those love handles and keep them off! Just think how much better you will feel once you realize why you should lose your love handles and why you should keep the love handles off of your body!
The first reason why you will want to lose your love handles is because you will feel better about yourself. I know that if you have them that you are not going to want to go out in public at the beach in your bikini. Just imagine taking a vacation to the coast of Florida or Hawaii and not be able to enjoy any of the beaches because of your unsightly handles. However, if you lose them then you will not be as shy of going out in public to the beaches and you will be able to show off your body without being self conscious about it!
The second reason that you will want to lose them is because you will start looking better. So if you want to look better then you will want to lose them because it can be a big turn off to many people. Now some people like the love handles and will enjoy them, but some people do not and it doesn't matter how good looking you are the other person might not even enjoy being with you. So losing them could help you attract the opposite sex which would be great for the single people and make the married people feel great!
While you might want to lose your love handles you probably didn't know that these are some of the reasons why you will want to lose them. I know that many people want to lose them and here are some great reasons why you will want to lose them, just imagine being able to go to the mirror and no longer see those handles hanging there.
Kim is a great person who has been losing her love handles with great success and has managed to keep them off for some time. If you want to find out more information on how to contain and lose your

Emotional Hunger - 12 Types That Make You Break Your Diet
By
Roger Gould, M.D.You may not know this but emotional overeating is the reason that 95% of diets fail. You might already know you're an emotional eater. Or you might not be sure and you may need a little bit more information to decide. The first step is to find out if you are emotionally hungry. Below are the twelve types of emotional hunger that trigger Emotional Eating. As you read through the list, ask yourself how many of these apply to you and your life. If you use food in any of the ways listed below, you'll know that Emotional Eating is the real reason you struggle with your weight.
Type 1. Food: My Adult Pacifier
If you get really hungry when you feel angry, depressed, anxious, bored, or lonely, you use food to dull the pain that these emotions cause.
Type 2. I Stick Up For Myself by Stuffing Myself Up
If you react by getting hungry when others talk down to you, take advantage of you, belittle you, or take you for granted, you eat to avoid confrontation.
Type 3. Food: My One Faithful Friend
If you crave food when you have tension in your close relationships, you eat to avoid feeling the pain of rejection or anger.
Type 4. When I'm Chewing I Can't Hear My Inner Critic
If you tend to become hypercritical of yourself, if you label yourself "stupid," "lazy," or "a loser," you eat to stuff down self-hatred.
Type 5. I Don't Have Love but I Have Food
If your hunger gets activated because your intimate relationships don't satisfy some basic need like trust or security, you use food to try to fill the gap.
Type 6. Food Can't Fill Up the Missing Parts in My Past
If you eat to make up for the deprivation you experienced as a child, you eat to forget the past.
Type 7. Don't Tell Me What to Eat
If you eat to assert your independence because you don't want anyone telling you what to do, you eat to rebel.
Type 8. I'm Too Busy Eating to Take a Risk
If your appetite kicks in when you're faced with new challenges - if you use food to avoid rising to the test, you eat to protect yourself from the fear of failure.
Type 9. Fall in Love? I'd Rather Fall in Chocolate.
If you stuff your face in order to avoid your sexuality - either to stay overweight so that nobody desires you or to hide from intimate encounters - you eat to protect yourself from getting too close.
Type 10. I Use My Body as a Battleground
Emotional eaters often eat to pay back those who have hurt them, often in the distant past. They use their bodies as battlegrounds for working out old resentments. If you do this, you eat to get revenge or control anger.
Type 11. I Won't Grow Up
If you eat to make yourself feel carefree, like a child, you eat to keep yourself from facing the challenges of growing up.
Type 12. I'm Secretly Afraid of Being Thin
If you overeat because you fear getting thin, either consciously or unconsciously, you eat to avoid the fear of change.
Emotional hunger is real. It's part of life for everyone. If you address the things that make you emotionally hungry, you'll have a chance of having real satisfaction in your life. But if you eat each time you're emotionally hungry, you'll miss the opportunity of satisfaction, and your emotional hunger will continue to grow along with your waistline.

The Real Way to Lose Weight the Correct Way
By
Peter GoligherA common program for weight loss will not only depend on the exercise that you do or how much of it you plan to do, the major factor impacting weight loss is the food diet you undertake to complement your diet. That sounds a lot trickier than it is, but its generally a simple process. The general regime considers many aspects such as the following.
First of all, your weight loss program should most vitally have aims and I mean really clear aims. Put these aims down on paper or drill them into your head. The more sensible goals you have, the more effort you will put in to achieve them.
Then start working backwards to decide how you can achieve those goals. It's a simple numbers game at this stage. If you burn more calories than you take in, you are going to lose weight.
Carry on to work hard and keep the pounds at bay. Always pay attention to what food your eating and your overall average calorie intake.
List the foods that you like and find out the calories for each type of food on your list. Add up the numbers and find out how much calories you are taking in each day. Smaller meals tend to help the body to learn how to burn more fat naturally. For instance, it's better to take 6 small meals each day than 3 huge meals as this keeps the metabolism kicking through out the whole day
Green leafy vegetables will help detoxify the body and improve general health.
The most complicated task to overcome will be your weight loss diet. Many want to lose weight successfully, but they don't know what a good weight loss consists of. There are so many diets out there now that if you tried them all at once they would almost kill you.
Be patient and plan carefully! Think about all the diverse aspects in your weight loss diet plan. Go beyond calculating calories. That is just one part of the equation. Different people need different diets, and here's why.
You would be considered successful if you can work out what you should to eat to reduce weight, while at the same time, stay healthy. Try to take in at least 2000 calories each day on average.
It's a very sensible idea to plan your diet based on your own daily needs. Don't drop your consumption rate too hastily. Lessen by 100 calories per week, then move on to 200 calories and so on. Still, nothing beats a good and hard workout to burn off all those unwanted calories. This way, your muscles get a good workout, and you lose weight too.
To finish, watch your diet and work out more. That's as simple as it is. It may be harder for others, but calorie intake and calorie burn off can be simply interpreted that the more burn off, the less weight you will gain.

How to Maintain a Healthy Weight and Enjoy What You Eat
By
Marjorie WooleryThere is no denying that eating is one of life's pleasures. In this regard, some folks indulge just a bit too much in this particular pleasure and undoubtedly pay the price of their excess in the currency of pounds, extra pounds that is. There are a lot of people whose main focus is on achieving a healthy weight. To do so one of the most important lessons is learning how to enjoy eating without going overboard.
Finding the answer to why people overeat is not a simple task. There are various biological and emotional reasons as to why this happens. It is fundamental, however, to learn to interpret the built-in signals of your body that let you know when you are full. This will help those who overeat to find a way to break the cycle. There are varying degrees of fullness and it is important to endeavour to stop eating when you feel pleasantly full instead of continuing until you need to unbutton your belt. It is also important to be closely in tune with your bodies and understand whether you are truly hungry or not before eating. Mindless eating is one of the major culprits of weight gain.
Taking the time to enjoy your meal instead of scoffing the food down is equally essential. This will help the satiety centre of the brain to trigger the appropriate response telling you when you are full. There is a common misconception that you have to avoid entire groups of foods altogether to maintain a healthy weight and a healthy lifestyle. I disagree. I think it helps to eat just about anything but in moderation. If you know that you can have one slice of chocolate cake instead of none at all then the urge to devour half of a chocolate cake disappears.
I also highly recommend that you make your dining experience as enjoyable as possible. Let go of the mindset that eating is simply a means to achieve weight loss. Research and try out new and different recipes from different places. Experiment with new flavours and new spices. Jazz up an old favourite by adding a dash of curry. In short, add some adventure to this element of life as well.
Change your thinking and look at eating in a new and different light. Let it be about discovering and savouring something new and different. Listen to your body, eat when you are hungry and stop when you are comfortably full. Remember that eating can indeed be a pleasure without excessive indulgence.
