Weight Loss and Detoxification

The first thing that comes to mind when people think of weight loss is being hungry and miserable. Over the past ten years we have seen one fad diet after another claiming to help you shed those extra pounds within days. Unfortunately those diets are all doomed to failure simply because they do not promote healthy weight loss.

One well known low carbohydrate diet claims you can healthily lose ten pounds per week while another carbohydrate rich diet claims the same. Both diet plans promote drinking lots of fluids and maintaining a daily exercise regimen.

Exercise alone can help you shed the pounds and inches before swimsuit season, but don't overlook the importance of a well-balanced diet and full-body detoxification. One of the most important steps to detoxifying your body is a simple colon cleansing. Cleansing the colon of toxins can help flush out that bloated, fat feeling as well as help enhance your weight loss goals.

There are several options for a healthy colon cleanse and full body detoxification. Simply the addition of water, fruits and vegetables to your diet goes a long way in promoting a healthy lifestyle. Steamed or raw vegetables are a great source of vitamins and minerals as well as fiber to help cleanse the colon. Adding green, leafy vegetables to your diet will also increase your fiber intake, helping cleanse your colon and digestive tract very effectively. Cutting back on red meats and dairy products is also advised, as these foods congest the digestive tract.

Fruit and vegetable juices are also very good 'snack' fillers for when you need a quick little pick-me-up. Avoid that afternoon candy bar and soda, both are very high in fats and carbohydrates that will only help reverse your weight loss goals. The addition of eight to ten glasses of water per day will help flush your body of unwanted toxins and fat.

To many people, adding eight to ten glasses of water to their diet per day is a bit overwhelming. One way to remember to drink your water is to drink two to three glasses before every meal. This will also help you achieve a feeling of being full more quickly; thus aiding to your weight loss.

There is also a very wide variety of herbs that help aid in the cleansing of the digestive tract and colon. Herbs such as phylum are often found in over-the-counter laxatives. Phylum adds the fiber that your body needs to help it become regular and help flush out toxins that may hinder weight loss.

Detoxification and colon cleansing is a very important part of weight loss. Just changing one's eating habits can drastically improve your overall health. Studies have shown that the poor eating habits we all fall prey to cause our colon to store mass amounts of unhealthy toxins. In fact, the human colon can hold more than thirty-five pounds of toxins and feces.

The addition of rice, nuts, seeds, fish, beans and other protein-rich foods can help cleanse the colon of most of these unwanted toxins and pounds. Simply detoxifying your body by eating more healthily and drinking lots of water is an excellent way to jump-start any diet and exercise program. It's also probably the easiest thing you can change about yourself.

The #1 Dynamite Key for Exploding Your Weight Loss While Exercising Far Less

Have you ever noticed that the #1 exercise of choice among those trying to lose weight is walking?

So here's the question...

Why are there so many overweight walkers?

And I'm not talking about the people who have just recently laced up the Nikes and started walking to try and shed a few pounds. I'm talking about those determined individuals who have been walking around the block for the past year!

And here's the crazy thing...

Even after a year they just keep right on walking and waiting for the "awesome" weight loss to show up!

Here's the perfect example...

The same lady has walked past my office window every day for the past 365 days in sneakers, spandex and a pink headband. (Perhaps you know the type? Are you one of them?)

Not to be "mean", but I don't see the pounds melting away!

In fact, she may have gained a few inches around her waist since she began a full year ago!

So what gives?

Why don't the vast majority of walkers seem to lose any significant weight... Ever?

We all know Dr. Oz from who frequently appears on OPRAH?

Well... perhaps Dr. Oz said it best when a slightly overweight woman stood up on OPRAH and asked why her exercise wasn't producing any results?

She had been using the treadmill consistently for the past several months, but still and I quote "was not experiencing the weight loss she expected."

His response...

And everyone who has a desire to stop exercising so much and start losing weight had better pay attention!

Dr. OZ simply said...

"You're probably not pushing yourself enough."

Key point: Without intensity your exercise will not produce the weight loss you desire! In fact, you probably won't lose any weight at all!

Your body loves to be pushed! Your exercise produces the greatest weight loss when you are sweating. In fact, a short ten minute workout in which you are sweating like crazy is far superior to an hour long "hum-drum" one when it comes to producing fast weight loss.

So the next time you lace up those walking shoes...

make sure to increase your pace...

you just might find that the weight loss you have been longing for finally shows up.

Green Tea Diets - The Benefits of Green Tea

The Chinese have used green tea to treat ailments for several centuries. Nowadays, Western culture is beginning to understand the benefits of green tea. Recent research has revealed some of the health benefits of using green tea including the possible prevention of arthritis, cardiovascular disease, cataracts and also cancer.

Besides the disease-fighting benefits, Diet green tea also aids weight loss programs. Studies have shown that drinking green tea helps you burn more calories. So what makes green tea so beneficial?

Green tea is the most popular types of Chinese tea. Many people, consider it as the best drink for hot summers. The main reason for this claim is the fact that green tea is cool and fights off irritation. Many have even claimed that it relieves fever.

The health benefits of Diet green tea have been known throughout the world, and are appreciated a lot more these days. The Chinese have known about these medicinal benefits since ancient times, as they have been using green tea to treat everything from headaches to depression, and a long list of other ailments.

Today there are numerous scientific researches conducted both in Asia and the West is providing hard evidences for the health benefits long associated with drinking green tea. A good example is the Journal of the National Cancer Institute which published the results of an epidemiological study in 1994, indicating that drinking Diet green tea lowers the risk of esophageal cancer in Chinese men and women by nearly 60%. The University of Purdue just recently reported its findings that a compound in green tea can help fight cancer.

Diet green tea is also reported to be beneficial in fighting against cardiovascular disease, infection, rheumatoid arthritis, impaired immune function, and even high cholesterol levels; thus keeping the body healthy.

Why is Diet green tea so special? Diet green tea is rich in catechin polyphenols, particularly the said epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). EGCG is basically an anti-oxidant that has the power to fight and kill cancer cells without harming healthy tissue in the body.

Studies also revealed that this anti-oxidant has been effective in lowering cholesterol levels, and hampering the abnormal formation of blood clots. The latter benefit takes on added importance for the fact that the formation of abnormal blood clots, medically known as thrombosis, is the main factor that causes stroke and heart attacks, thus making Diet green tea very beneficial for one's health and well being.

In recent years, some studies have revealed new evidences about other benefits of Diet green tea. It is claimed that Diet green tea can help dieters. Diet green tea is also said to prevent tooth decay. Now, several skin preparations containing green tea, from deodorants to creams, are also starting to appear on the market. This is for the reason that Diet green tea is found out to be powerful in fighting bacteria that cause skin problems.

Considering the many benefits which Diet green tea has, it is recommended that you drink not only for the purposes of losing weight but also keeping healthy.

Want a Challenge? The 300 Movie Workout

Today I did the 300 movie workout. You might have heard of the 300 workout from the 300 movie promotions. The actors trained hardcore, using kettlebells, weights, bodyweight, tires, and more.

The 300 workout is a challenging 300 repetition workout put together by a trainer for the lead actor in the 300 movie. This isn't how they did their workouts...it was just a test of his strength-endurance.

Here's the workout...all exercises are done without rest. Just go, go, go.

Pullups - 25
Deadlifts with 135lbs - 50
Pushups - 50
24-inch Box jumps - 50
Floor wipers - 50
1-arm 36lbs Kettlebell Clean n Press - 50 reps
Pullups - 25

One actor, Andrew Pleavin, completed the workout in 18:11.

Remember, he didn't practice this workout...and neither did I.

My time: 19:07

My butt was kicked by a hollywood actor. It was a brutal workout, starting out strong and slowing down, finishing at a crawl. And I don't plan on doing that any time soon, or really, ever again.

Obviously this is an advanced workout...you shouldn't do it unless you are as fit as a college athlete.

Fortunately, this can easily be changed. Appropriate exercises should be subbed in, and you should drop down to 100 total reps - or as .: recommends - 4-6 exercises of 15-25 reps each.

For example, you might do a 150-repetition workout - this is great for a man with moderate fitness:

15 bodyweight rows
25 bodyweight squats
15 pushups
50 jumping jacks
20 mountain climbers
10 close grip pushups
15 bodyweight rows

An intermediate woman could do a 100 rep workout:

5 bodyweight rows
15 bodyweight squats
5 pushups
50 jumping jacks
10 mountain climbers
10 lunges
5 bodyweight rows

Those are some challenging workouts. Work with a trainer to come up with other ideas. And always, train safe.

Eating And Exercise - Your Key To Weight Loss

If there are 2 things that you must change about your approach to weight loss is what you eat: how often and what kinds of foods you are eating and exercise. We'll look at food as a tool for you to lose weight and not as an enemy.

Food
What you eat is not as important as what is in it and how often you eat it. For example, there are unhealthy foods that can be made to be healthy so that you can lose weight. Let's take a look at hamburgers. If your favorite burger is a double double from in-N-out there are ways to make it healthier. All it takes is replacing some ingredients with others without sacrificing flavor. Heres a recipe for a great tasting burger that will help you lose weight:

Mediterranean Portobello Burger

This mushroom sandwich comes topped with a luscious Greek-style salad. Make it a meal: Serve with cucumber spears and a glass of Firestone Gewrztraminer.

Makes 4 servings

ACTIVE TIME: 30 minutes

TOTAL TIME: 30 minutes

EASE OF PREPARATION: Easy

1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
4 portobello mushroom caps, stems and gills removed
4 large slices country-style sourdough bread, cut in half
1/2 cup sliced jarred roasted red peppers
1/2 cup chopped tomato
1/4 cup crumbled reduced-fat feta cheese
2 tablespoons chopped pitted Kalamata olives
1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
2 cups loosely packed mixed baby salad greens

1. Preheat grill to medium-high.
2. Mash garlic and salt on a cutting board with the side of a knife until it's a smooth paste. Mix the paste with 1 tablespoon oil in a small dish. Lightly brush the oil mixture over portobellos and then on one side of each slice of bread.
3. Combine red peppers, tomato, feta, olives, vinegar, oregano and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a medium bowl.
4. Grill the mushroom caps until tender, about 4 minutes per side; grill the bread until crisp, about 1 minute per side.
5. Toss salad greens with the red pepper mixture. Place the grilled mushrooms top-side down on 4 half-slices of the bread. Top with the salad mixture and the remaining bread.

NUTRITION INFORMATION: Per serving: 301 calories; 11 g fat (2 g sat, 7 g mono); 3 mg cholesterol; 40 g carbohydrate; 10 g protein; 4 g fiber; 795 mg sodium; 691 mg potassium.

Nutrition bonus: Selenium (44% daily value), Folate (33% dv), Vitamin A (25% dv), Potassium (20% dv).

2 1/2 Carbohydrate Servings

Exchanges: 2 starch, 2 vegetables, 2 fat

It looks better and tastes better than the words on this article suggest.

Exercise
When it comes to exercise some people don't get enough of it and many people get too much of it. Here's my recommendation. I believe that exercise for weight loss should not take no longer than 1 hour. If you are exercising for longer than 1 hour for weight loss that in my opinion is taking too long. If you want to save time then get all your workouts done in less time than that. If you are creative, you can get a great workout in 30 minutes. Trust me. More is not better.

Make sure that you are working out the major muscle groups such as the quads, the butt, hamstrings, upper body such as the back and chest for pulling and pressing. That is the most important thing to consider.

For cardio vascular purposes, make sure that you perform exercises that get your heart rate up to a point where you cannot sustain a conversation. There are too many people that do cardio vascular exercises and are chatting up a storm. That is not intensive enough to achieve weight loss goals.

In conclusion, make sure that you are getting healthier ingredients in place of those ingredients that will cause health risks such as cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure etc. You don't have to sacrifice flavor at all. When it come to exercise, make sure that you are getting your exercise routines done in less than 1 hour tapping into all that major muscle groups.

To your health,

Lose Weight & Eat Great

If you've tried every weight-loss diet, then you're probably very, very frustrated with the promises that these programs make. And like most people, you wish for a simple program that told you how to lose fat in simple, easy-to-follow steps. We're going to give you some tips today on how to do just that, but first, here's a startling top-secret admission!

Nutrition is even more important than exercise when it comes to losing fat. And as hard as it is for me, a fat loss workout expert, to admit it, even my workout strategies might not help you lose fat if you aren't following a proper fat loss nutrition plan.

Eating properly has the greatest impact on fat loss, bar none. You have to have a nutrition plan, so spend a couple hours on your day off preparing as much food and as many meals as you can for the upcoming week.

But everyone knows that it is incredibly hard to make nutrition changes. So I want you to start making small, but consistent changes starting today. After all, you'll have a better chance of success if your goal is to eat more 2 more servings of vegetables today, rather than to eat perfect for the rest of the month.

To help you, I've broken down how to make some simple nutrition changes. For the first step, I recommend that you put aside an hour or two to plan your meals for next week. Take an extended trip to the grocery store with a set list of foods, including fruits and vegetables.

It's important to get a variety of foods in your diet (see how to get your 5-9 below). After your shopping, come home and do some washing, chopping, cutting, cooking, and freezing. Tupperware will come in handy.

How to Get Your 5 to 9 Every Day

You should get at least five servings of fruits and vegetables every day. In a perfect world, you'd get far more than that.

According to the American Diabetes Association, fruits and vegetables provide nutrients that 'help lower risks of certain cancers, heart disease, and other health problems'. In fact, I believe that a high consumption of fruits and vegetables also helps clients lose fat.

Now, 5 servings might sound like a lot, especially when I insist that all 5 servings be whole food, and not from juices. But I want you to get the benefits of the fiber, not just the nutrients. Here's a sample plan to get 3 vegetables and 2 fruits per day (and this only represents your minimum intake).

Breakfast: 1 apple (1-2 servings depending on size)

At work mid-morning: 1 grapefruit (1-2 servings)

Lunch: A vegetable salad with actual vegetables, not just some bad lettuce and carrot shreds. You should get some spinach, tomatoes, and peppers cut up in the salad. Make this at home for convenience. And you know what, throwing in some orange or strawberry slices to a nice chicken breast, cashew, and spinach salad really adds some desired sweetness. (4 servings)

Mid-afternoon: Carrot sticks & pepper slices (2 servings)

Dinner: 1 cup of broccoli and/or asparagus (1-2 servings)

Dessert: Blueberries (1 serving)

There, now you've eaten up to 13 servings of fruits and vegetables. You'll have reduced your appetite and increased your energy. All you needed was a little prep work.

How To Lose Weight Quickly - 5 Common Weight Loss Myths Exposed

You might have tried to lose weight numerous times before, only to give up when you don't see immediate results. There are numerous myths around diets, and hopefully, we'll dispel them now!

The first myth folks surrender to is that you'll be able to reduce weight quickly by getting rid of as many calories as possible from your diet or by fasting. This is a very harmful means to do it since your body enters starvation mode, instantly halting fat loss. A lot of folks simply would like to slim down quickly for an outfit they want to fit into for a special social function coming up soon. Do not hold back till the eleventh hour to begin dieting.

A different myth we come across in our pursuit of a slenderer waist is the one that says to exclusively consume a single type of food all day, day-after-day. Grapefruit, pepper-laden water, and even hotdog dieting crazes have led to several bouts of overeating in the past. Embarking on reckless diet crazes means your system isn't obtaining the requisite nutrition it demands to combat sicknesses and remain in good health.

You might have likewise heard that you will be never be able to deviate from your diet plan. Whenever you do, you will be forced to work out for a long time in order to compensate for it. This is not correct. It is all right to eat that dessert occasionally. You simply must correct your calorie consumption for that day. There is actually no need for hours of working out simply to correct for one tiny dessert.

One myth you might have picked up is the one that alleges you can not snack prior to going to sleep, because you will get fat in your sleep. This one is not correct since a diet plan simply signifies that you are eating healthy and keeping an eye on your caloric intake for the day. Consuming a light snack prior to bed Is not going to make a big difference unless it is a full meal or a whole chocolate cake.

How about the one that alleges you can not snack between meals? It is more beneficial to eat snacks. Eat littler meals during the day in order to keep your hunger satisfied. By doing away with snacks between meals, you are simply going to make yourself hungrier at meal times, which makes you to eat a great deal more than you actually must simply to fulfill your craving.

Try not to fall victim to the countless dieting myths circling the internet. A levelheaded balance of correct eating (almost all of the time) and working out can skyrocket your dieting success!

Weight Loss - The DEW Method - Part 2

This is the second article in a three part series on using the DEW method of weight loss. Each article will focus on one letter in "DEW". Today we will discuss the "E" which stands for exercise.

I am going for the throat here, can you believe after the "D" word in part 1, that I am so bold as to suggest the "E" word. Again this shouldn't be news; you need to burn more calories that you take in if you want to shed the pounds.

The trick it to find something you enjoy doing and then don't over do it. DO NOT START a new exercise program without first consulting your doctor. Simple things are the best: walking, bike riding, swimming, jogging, Jane Fonda aerobic tapes, etc.

There is an old story about a man who lifted a calf each morning and then finally one day he lifted a cow (hint: the calf grew into a cow over time). Basically he did it in small increments each day until he built up the strength to lift the cow. For me it was walking, so I started just going around the block I lived on. I added an extra block every couple days or once a week. Before long I was walking a little over 3 miles around my neighborhood. So don't try to run a marathon your first time out. Start small and build, consistency is the key.

It is also a good idea to do a mixture of aerobic and strength training exercise. Wikipedia defines aerobic exercise as "any type of exercise, typically those performed at moderate levels of intensity for extended periods of time, that maintains an increased heart rate." This type of exercise is good for burning fat and building stamina. Mixing some strength training into your routine will make sure that once the pounds melt away what you are left with is worth admiring. Start small with a simple weight set or even house hold items of various weights and work on the major muscle groups - legs, arms, and abs. Exercises doesn't have to expensive or time consuming, just be a steady plodder, small increments over time.

This three part series is an expanded version of my original article The D.E.W method - how I lost 13 lbs.. I hope this information has been helpful to you and check out part 3 when we discuss the "W" which stands for water. A final reminder, before starting any diet or exercise program consult with your physician to determine what is right for you. Good luck and good health.

Does Your Hoodia Weight Loss Regimen Work For You?

The miraculous benefits of Hoodia Gordonii have already been established by independent laboratory studies.

The plant's wonder molecule, P57, is touted to possess unrivaled appetite-suppressing qualities. Its original manufacturer, Phytopharm, completed a placebo-controlled clinical study in overweight, but otherwise healthy volunteers using the P57 extract from the plant.

The participants were split into two groups, with one group received the extract and the other received a placebo. Both groups were also told to continue their normal diet and exercise regimen. In comparing the P57 group to the Placebo group, the P57 group had a significant reduction in body fat, caloric intake and showed no adverse side effects.

Health Implications

According to independent laboratory studies, the implications of hoodia with regard to the treating obesity are quite significant. In animal studies using rats, it was shown that a significant decrease in calorie consumption was noted in rats that were given hoodia samples.

In addition, one major study conducted on obese humans saw an average daily calorie drop of about 1,000 calories by the 15th day of taking the supplement. Further research is still being conducted, as more studies are needed to study the immediate and long-term effects and safety of the supplement. Current research however, has not verified any immediate or long-term side effects when using hoodia.

General Indications To Follow

In ensuring the supplement is effective, users should know that dosages may vary. It's important to use the product as directed by the manufacturer. It would be best to also consult your physician before using this or any other weight-loss product.

The supplement was initially released into the US market in early 2004, and there more research needs to be done before the mechanisms of the medication could be fully understood. Consumers should use extra caution in choosing a good-quality supplement, and ensure that they are made by reputable product manufacturers.

Take in Less Calories, And You Lose Weight Faster

What makes Hoodia supplements quite unique is that they effectively work in preventing weight gain. As much as everyone argues about which is more effective, low carbohydrate or low fat, in the end losing weight is a simple equation.

Individuals are advised to take in less calories than they usually burn, and the faster they will lose weight. As you can not gain weight if you consume lesser calories than you burn, Hoodia gives you a powerful mechanism to fight hunger and therefore take in less calories. Most diet pills and supplements work by trying to increase the rate at which our body burns fat.

Individuals who take weight-loss supplements like these are advised that Hoodia may not work right away as you wish it could. Users generally feel the effects several weeks after taking the supplements.

The major effects of using the product includes a reduced interest in food, delay in the time after eating before hunger sets in again, getting a feeling of fullness more quickly, as well as garnering a general feeling of well-being. Hoodia is not a stimulant, has no known side effects, and appears to be safe for most people.

Easy Weight Loss Diet Plans

Everybody is looking for easy weight loss diet plans they can follow to achieve instant results with the least amount of effort possible.

The calorie shifting diet is one such diet plan. It is one of the easiest and simplest diet plans to follow, as it requires the least amount of sacrifice and discipline to maintain. Thus, people who follow this diet plan have high-motivation due to a general sense of satisfaction, while seeing some positive, serious results. You can expect to lose 9 pounds every 11 days on this diet plan.

How do you follow the calorie shifting diet plan? Simply put, you can eat as much food as you want at each meal until you are satisfied but not to hungry. You get to eat food from each of the four food groups while you are on this diet. You never starve. Your cravings are always fulfilled because you get to eat a little bit of everything. And you lose weight quickly.

How does the calorie shifting diet plan work? Calorie shifting is based on the premise that you have the ability to manipulate your body's metabolism at will, and by eating the right combination of foods at the right intervals, you can trick it into going into fat burning mode, even though you are eating plentiful food. Your body's metabolism is what is responsible for regulating the rate at which you consume food, burn calories, and store fat on your body.

By shifting the types of calories that you consume at each meal, you can trigger the appropriate metabolic response to make this happen. Here is a sample menu plan to illustrate how this works, and to give you an idea as to why this diet is so successful for so many people... You can literally eat as much food as you want of all of these foods!

First Day:

Breakfast: Oatmeal

Lunch: Tuna Salad

Snack: Scrambled Eggs

Dinner: Any type of Sandwich

Second Day:

Breakfast: Scrambled Eggs with Mixed Vegetables

Lunch: Chicken

Snack: Milk Shake

Dinner: Cottage Cheese

Third Day:

Breakfast: Fruit Salad

Lunch: Chicken

Snack: Cottage Cheese

Dinner: Fish Filet

A couple of things are worth mentioning here. On the calorie shifting diet, you can eat each one of these four meals in any order you want during the day. Also, you should give a minimum of 2.5 to 3 hour gap in between each meal.

Now, many experts are speaking out against rapid weight loss diets like this, saying that it is unsafe to lose so much weight so quickly. That is why the calorie shifting diet requires you to take a break on the last 3 days of every 14-day period on this diet, before you resume it again. This gives your body a chance to rest from the rapid weight loss you will have been undergoing. Of course, during those 3 days, it is in your best interest to eat sensibly, so that you don't gain any weight back!

So what are you waiting for? Generate your personalized meal plan now at http://www.IdiotProofFatLoss.com and you will be 9 pounds lighter in a week and a half!

Lose Weight Fast

Most of us relieve that self indulging with food has little to no consequence...Until we see ourselves in a bathing suit. It's at this time when we would like a magic wand and wish away all the "extra" self we see reflecting in the mirror.

Sadly, there are no magic wands, no zipper included in our skin and no quick fix to days, months or even years of self indulging, weight loosing takes time and effort; all products that offer such a result, lie.

One of the ways, of course, is to stop.

But sometimes, "just stopping" does not quite cut it. We need more. Our self indulgent behavior has caused more than a few pounds and we often would like to believe that each one is unique and can be easily wiped off with a week or two of caring. This is not always the case and we need to do more. A person who needs to lose weight fast can resort to several things:

Surgery is the most dramatic choice but is often sought by people who have tried almost everything and could not cut it; most of the times, exercise is something that is tried once or twice, but with morbidly obese people this takes a lot longer or they need to lose weight BEFORE they can actually start working out. This is a very costly and risky -as with any other surgery- procedure and definitely should not be considered until exhausting all other options.

Diets are the first choice for people who want to loose weight fast. Some diets promise wonders and near-to-miraculous results such as with the Lunar or Moon diet, the Rice Water Diet, the Garlic Diet (this one I've seen that the only thing lost are friends) and many others. Diets should be handled, scheduled and designed by a joint team consisting of a physician, a nutritionist, the interested person if they are only seeking to change dietary habits. But if the diet is part of an overall weight loss program, then a personal trainer needs to be included.

Dietary supplements are also an important part of this paraphernalia and also offer amazing-and-miraculous solutions to losing weight fast. Some of them even go to the length and offer loosing sizes while you bathe! Naturally, this is close to impossible but this does not stops them, since it is quite a business considering just one buy per customer, they have a secure market of millions. Dietary "magic" supplements, of course, do not work; the ones that do work are often prescribed by certified physicians and nutritionists that are up-to-date with the latest developments in this health area. If you are looking to dieting and would like a dietary supplement like vitamins, then even with something that "innocuous" you need to consult a physician first.

Exercise is not a magical wand either. It requires physician supervision and the joint team work. Diets and dietary supplements also form part of the team work exercise will lead in losing weight fast.

The Real Secret to Long Term Weight Loss

In one of the world's largest diet studies, it appears that diets actually damage your health. The results and the problems diets can cause should give you reason to keep reading.

According to Miller Jones, a professor of nutrition and food science at the College of St. Catherine in St. Paul, Minnesota...

4th graders are aware of the word diet, especially the girls.

Recently a massive worldwide study concluded that diets don't work long term for the majority of people on them and it might even put your life at risk.

This type of yo-yo behavior is linked to many health problems. Because of the strain on the body of repeated weight loss and weight gain, the researchers found that the dieters would have been better off not dieting at all.

Research has shown the repeated rapid weight gain and loss associated with dieting can double the risk of death from heart disease, including heart attacks, and the risk of premature death in general.

For starters...

When you think 'diet' you are actively engaging in short term thinking. When you start to think of it as something you go on and then off again, that's the wrong direction.

Some of the BEST resources on nutrition are not diets. They are eating plans. They are the basics of eating correctly for the rest of your life. Eating for everyday living is something you can be taught. There's nothing short term about them.

"The benefits of dieting are simply too small and the potential harms of dieting are too large for it to be recommended as a safe and effective treatment for obesity." -Dr Traci Mann

A quick test is to simply look at any given plan and immediately ask yourself...

Can I eat this way for the rest of my life and not fall prey to hunger cravings or temptations?

Frankly...

If you are overweight, then thinking in the short term is exactly why you could be doomed to fail! As you bounce from one plan to the next, you become more and more frustrated.

FACT: Many diets that use a severe calorie restriction just makes it harder to lose the weight the next time.

FACT: Some studies show that repeated weight loss and regain actually increase the changes you'll gain even more weight the next time.

FACT: It shouldn't come as a shock that people who exercise report the most long term weight loss.

Now with all this in mind...

No matter what eating plan you choose or what your goals, just drop the word 'diet' from your vocabulary and pick a plan you can stick with for life. That encourages slow weight loss or weight gain. That doesn't "demonize" foods but helps you pick and choose from healthy alternatives and explains the reasons why.

If you are always changing your eating habits for special events or every 8 weeks, you might be dieting. Before you start your next diet, that's the time to step back and ask yourself if you know all you can about proper, healthy nutrition. Learning how to eat correctly is something you can stick with for life and avoid the common frustrations.

A Great Weightloss Plan

Many times the decision to lose weight is made in haste, usually fueled by anger or frustration. How many people angrily or disgustedly go on a diet and try to cut back on their food intake, only to find themselves craving food and overeating not long after?

A lot can be accomplished with anger or the energy built up over time with the frustration of living with a weight problem. It's okay to be angry and to vent your frustration. We don't need to go into the many ways stress and all the things in our lives may make us believe we are justified in our anger. Justified or not, the real question is, what are you going to do to help yourself?

You'd love to lose weight, great! But you may not know exactly how to go about it. There is help, you know. Many people have lost weight and you can learn from their experiences. There are also information online as well.

As a clinical hypnotherapist I learned a lot by watching the many inventive ways people dealt with their weight and problem eating behavior. One thing I can tell you is that the ones who were the most successful had a plan and had talked to an expert or other people who had managed to lose weight and keep it off.

The most important point I could make would be the old saying, "Those who fail to plan, plan to fail." My weight loss clients who were the most successful had thought about their eating habits and made plans for how they would deal with different situations that made them eat more. A plan doesn't have to be elaborate, but it does have to identify your strengths and weaknesses and have steps you can take to manage both. If you're going to put the effort into losing weight, then you deserve a fighting chance. Give yourself a plan.

Don't Eat Fast Food

It's annoying that it's extremely easy to put weight on, but when it comes to getting rid of it it's extremely difficult! Eating is great fun, everyone will find eating to be enjoyable and so it can be difficult refraining from tucking into your favorite snack. No one likes to give up something that they enjoy doing, which is why people continue eating and become more and more fat.

Recent studies have suggested that the human body does not react to a diet in the way it was first expected. The body has been designed over a period of hundreds of years and has adapted. The human body can cope with lean periods very easily, and this is exactly how it sees a diet. Our bodies are very complex machines, and you need to trick them into losing weight.

Another reason why it's so easy to gain weight is thanks to the modern lifestyle. Now everyone is rushed off their feet and you'll find junk food everywhere. Fast food is one such culprit, it's a high energy food but it doesn't fill you up. This will cause you to consume many more calories than you need. Cars also mean that we're not walking as much as we used to. Plus most of us work behind a desk rather than hunting, which is another way we used to lose weight (as cavemen).

Snacks are all too easy to get your hands on. They contain too many calories, and they're far too easy to buy. The best thing to eat in between meals is fruit. It might not taste as sweet as what you're used to, however it is pleasant and it's good for you.

It is possible to get rid of bad habits, it just takes a little patience. Ignore the temptations and you will soon not bother about whatever it is.

3 Weight Loss Motivation Tips You Have To Know About To Succeed

Maintaining your motivation to lose weight through a diet process is an extremely important thing. It'll make it easier to stick to the diet for a long time and will help you to make the most of it. However, diet motivation is a hard thing to maintain since a diet is a time when you do restrict yourself somewhat on what you can eat and the way you lead your life. So how can you do this? This article will provide some tips for just that.

3 Weight Loss Motivation Tips

1. Enlist the support of your loved ones - Your environment greatly affects your motivation to lose weight. For this you need to support of your friends and family. After all, it'll be pretty hard to stick to a diet if your family eats candy and fried food at the same table where you eat. Believe me, if you state your goals to your family, they'll be willing to help you. Even your children will be glad to pitch in. They'll serve as a force which will help you find motivation to lose weight and to maintain it.

2. Don't compare yourself to other people - There will always be someone who loses weight faster and easier than you. But what difference does it make? You should concentrate on yourself alone. If you succeed in losing weight, that's the main thing. Even if your weight loss rate is slower than some people's, as long as you're losing weight, you're doing great. Keep up your weight loss motivation. You deserve it.

3. Paint a picture of your future - You started this weight loss process for a certain goal: you want to look better, be healthier, and feel better. I want you to create a mental image of how your life will be like when you have attained those goals. This will serve as a beacon for you whenever you feel slightly down during the diet and will help you maintain your weight loss motivation. If you keep your goals in front of you, you will have something that's worth dieting for. As you approach your goal, it'll be even easier to stick to your diet and make it work better for you.

I hope these 3 weight loss motivational tips will help you to lose weight and keep it off forever.

Starting a Fat Loss Program? Don't Try to Eat Fat Free

If you have decided to go on a fat loss program then there are some things you need to know about why fats are a requirement in your daily eating plan and how there going to spell success or failure in you meeting your goals.

There seems to be a myth out there that say's the first thing that you must avoid doing if you want to lose body fat is eating fat, well there is nothing further from the truth and it really makes me wonder where they could have come up with that type of nonsense if they really understood how the body works.

Assuming that we are going to keep our daily consumption at 30% or less of our total intake of calories at the end of the day, let's take a look at the type of fats available and determine how they work for the body and why they are so important for normal body functions.

All of the fats are equal when it comes to the amount of calories they contain in one gram, which is 9, but there is a difference in how each affects the body and your health. The body needs fats in order to stay healthy so we need to keep them in our eating regiment.

Monounsaturated fats are the healthiest type and have been shown to lower your LDL cholesterol which is the bad type and raise the good HDL cholesterol. Olive oil is one of the best sources of getting this healthy fat and I might point out that olive oil helps you feel full for a longer period of time. I also like to use natural peanut butter which contains nothing but peanuts and salt.

Polyunsaturated fats are known to lower LDL cholesterol, but also lower HDL. So you don't want as much of this fat as you would the monounsaturated. You must be somewhat careful when choosing this particular oil so read labels. Polyunsaturated fats are sometimes hydrogenated to make margarines and you don't want to eat anything that says partially hydrogenated on the label.

Saturated fats are at the bottom of the list as for daily intake but are still needed for proper bodily functions so you want to keep the amount that you consume to 10% or less of your total daily fat intake. Too much of this type of fat is known to raise your total cholesterol level and cause coronary heart disease but at the same time they are responsible for proper functioning of certain organs as well as improving the body's use of omega-3 fatty acids.

The omega-3 fatty acids which are found in fish help keep your heart healthy and lower your bad LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels. They have been shown to help protect you from diabetes and depression.

Your body does need fats in order to stay healthy. Fats supply the building blocks for the manufacturing of hormones and carry the fat soluble vitamins A, E, K and D throughout the body. To get all the benefit from our food we need a macronutrient mix of protein, carbohydrates and fat. You can play around with the ratio of each but it must contain all three if you want to reach your goal.
