Common Weight Loss Myths Exposed 1. Losing weight is hard It doesn't have to be if you go about it in the right way. If you have a negative attitude, it's going to be reflected in your efforts to lose weight. Don't think of your weight loss journey as something to be endured. Instead, think of it as a new experience, one that's going to change your habits and transform your life for the better. Recently I had a conversation with a personal trainer friend of mine about losing weight. He was bemoaning a client's lack of motivation and describing what he was doing to encourage her physical fitness. Now don't get me wrong, he is a good guy and a good trainer. But I happened to say to him, Yes, but people like you who have always been fit don't know what it feels like to have to lose weight, just the same way that I don't know what it feels like to be a twin or be non-Caucasian. He replied, yes, but I know what hard work is. That kind of sums up what I'm talking about. Losing weight isn't just, or even mostly, about hard work. I'm sure I worked and trained hard when I lost weight but that wasn't the main, or even most important, part of my weight loss. The most important part was the mind, not the body. Don 't get me wrong, you can't just move your mind, you need to move your body too. But if you can change your mind, changing your body isn't about hard work at all.
2. Plans and programs are the way to lose weight Most people know that lose-fat-fast schemes are best avoided as soon as you've finished the diet and lost a few kilos, you start eating normally again, and back comes the weight. It's a cycle that keeps the fitness and diet industries going: Australians spent $745 million dollars on weight loss pills, potions, plans and procedures in 2010. Despite this, not only are we one of the fattest nations in the world, but also we're getting fatter faster than any other nation in the world. Quick-fix approaches are everywhere, because everyone wants to lose weight fast but the important part is keeping it off, and no plan or program that gives you a weight loss timeframe is going to help you keep those kilos off for good. Your local gym probably runs regular 12-week challenges, and while these might seem like a good idea in theory, they don't foster a long-term approach to weight loss, and that's what you really need. A good physical kick start? Yes, but beware the mental scars they may leave.
It doesn't matter how many calories you burn in twelve weeks it matters how many calories you burn in your entire lifetime. That's more like 12 x 12 x 12 x 2.5 weeks, or 359 twelveweek challenges! Losing weight successfully is about changing your lifestyle and your habits 100% GUARANTEED WEIGHT LOSS

for the better and enjoying the results, not punishing yourself for a short period of time in order to only get short-term gains.
3. Thinking of your weight loss as a 'lifestyle change' Now, it is a lifestyle change, but that term has now become so much of a cliche that as soon as we hear it we neatly put it away in our mental filing cabinet and never look at it again. By labeling it and using such a familiar term to do so we've successfully managed to dismiss a whole range of behaviors without examining them properly. Losing weight and keeping it off is a lifestyle change, but it's also so much more than that, and it's a process that both needs and deserves your thought and attention. Unless you're hit by a truck or experience something similarly traumatic you're not likely to wake up one day and think, I'm going to make a lifestyle change! Losing weight is a step-by-step process. Approaching it in this way, rather than just sticking a label on it so I didn't have to ever really think about it, is what helps people succeed in their weight loss journey... not just for now... but forever! Most people know that lose-fat-fast schemes are best avoided as soon as you've finished the diet and lost a few kilos, you start eating normally again, and back comes the weight.

4. Losing weight means eating less I don't eat less than I used to eat when I was overweight. Actually I eat more much more. I probably eat twice as much in terms of volume as I did when I was twice the size. One of the great misconceptions of weight loss is that you need to eat less. You don't need to eat less, 100% GUARANTEED WEIGHT LOSS

you just need to eat fewer calories. Low-energy density foods (such as those with a high water and ¡¡bre content) are the key. You can eat much more of these than you can of highenergy density foods which generally have less water and more fat per gram, and roughly double the number of calories per gram, than either protein or carbohydrates. If you want to lose weight but don't want to be hungry while you do it, you can either eat: A block of chocolate OR two slices of multigrain bread, two large boiled eggs, one carton of low-fat yoghurt, one medium banana, four sushi rolls, half a cup of blueberries, 25 almonds, one lean chicken breast, half a cup of mashed sweet potato, half a cup of broccoli, half a cup of carrots, one scoop of regular ice-cream and two olives! The choice is yours but clearly you can eat quite a lot if you eat the right things. One of the other great things that I have found about healthy eating is that if you f¡ll up on the goodfor-you foods then the not-so-good-for-you foods won't seem so tempting. Eating well means that you'll feel good and you'll function better physically and mentally. You'll be much more likely to get your daily dose of essential vitamins and minerals, meaning that you'll be much less likely to suffer from cravings. You'll also have more energy, lose weight and undoubtedly see improvements in the condition of your hair, skin and nails. It's win, win, win, win, win! Learning how to eat well (in a way that works for you physically, psychologically and practically) is a skill that, once learned, you'll have for life hopefully a much longer life!

The Links Between Drinking Water and Weight Loss Drinking water and weight loss have always been two things that MUST go together. You just can't lose weight if you drink too little water or if you get dehydrated by too much caffeine, alcohol or sweating! So drinking water and weight loss is a key combination. But does water MAKE you lose weight? Here's an amazing fact! Drinking water is essential to weight loss. If you plan on losing weight and keeping it off, water is most probably the most important element of your weight loss diet. That is an amazing fact, wouldn't you agree, given the amount of money people spend on diets, diet products and diet pills - water costs almost nothing! I guess most of us take water for granted, but it's a pretty potent catalyst for long term weight control as well as for good health. But how are drinking water and weight loss linked? The better you understand the effect of drinking water and weight loss, I think the more you will start to take this on board in your daily habit and become more conscious of how the dehydrating effects of tea, coffee, cola or alcohol are sabotaging your best weight loss efforts! Firstly, one remarkable truth is that the body cannot metabolise stored fat efficiently without enough water. Secondly, if you are retaining water, it figures that it's going to show up as excess weight. Although it might seem odd, to get rid of excess water you actually must drink more water to restore the body's water balance. Here's FIVE really great tips to maximise the effects of drinking water and weight loss.
Tip 1: Water keeps your appetite suppressed AND helps your body work off stored fat. Research have shown that reducing your water intake can cause fat deposits to increase while increasing water intake can actually reduce fat deposits. 100% GUARANTEED WEIGHT LOSS

Here's the science bit on drinking water and weight loss... The kidneys cannot work very well with insufficient water. When they do not function to their full capacity and so some of the overload is dumped onto the liver. Since one of the liver's primary functions is to metabolise stored fat to give energy to the body, if the liver has to do some of the kidney's work, it cannot work on fat loss. As a result, it breaks down far less fat than if it was working at its best. The consequence is that more fat remains stored in the body and weight loss grinds to a halt. Oh my God! Not what you want, right? So it's really all about drinking water and weight loss, but if you don't drink enough water, it can stop you losing weight and make fat loss like pushing a bit boulder up a steep hill.
Tip 2: Drinking water is the best treatment for fluid retention. When the body gets an inadequate amount of water, it responds as if its survival is being threatened and starts to hang on to every drop, storing it in all the little spaces between the cells. The result is swollen feet, hands, and legs. Diuretics offer only a temporary solution, because they force out stored water but you also lose many essential nutrients into the bargain. Again, because the body sees this as a threat, it will actually replace the lost water first chance it gets. And then the fluid retention returns. The best way to overcome the problem of water retention is to give your body what it needs - a bountiful supply of water - so that stored water can be released. If you continually suffer with water retention, you might want to look at your salt intake excess salt may be to blame. Your body will tolerate salt only to a certain level. The more salt you eat, the more water your system retains to dilute it. But getting rid of too much salt is straightforward - just drink more water, so it forces the kidneys to flush out excess sodium.
Tip 3: An overweight person needs more water than a thin one. The larger you are, the higher your metabolic load. Tip 1 indicates that water is the key to fat metabolism. But water also helps keep up a good muscle tone, providing them the means to contract and by preventing dehydration. It also helps avoid that sagging skin that 100% GUARANTEED WEIGHT LOSS

can happen after you've lost weight. Shrinking cells are buoyed by water which plumps the skin and leaves it clear, healthy and radiant.
Tip 4: Water helps detoxify the body. During weight loss, the body has quite a stash of waste to get rid of, including all that fat it has broken down. Again, getting enough water helps flush out the waste and toxins. This can actually also start help with any problems you may have had with constipation. When the body gets too little water, it pulls off what it needs from other sources in the body and guess what? The colon is a major drain on water. So if you're not getting enough water, you're destined to get more than a little constipated! Drinking enough water will quickly get you back to a normal bowel function. BLISS!
Tip 5: How much water is enough? On the average, a person should drink eight (8 oz.) glasses every day - that's around 1.5 to 2 litres. However, if you are overweight, you'll need to add one additional glass for every 25 lbs of excess weight. Obviously, if you are exercising and sweating or if the weather is really hot, you should increase the amount that you drink as well. There's some debate as to whether these 8 glasses should be pure water. My view is that it doesn't matter if you add a little cordial or fruit juice to give it some flavour. In fact I'd even count tea and coffee as long as it's decaffeinated (although it's not ideal). And certainly natural herbal beverages or infusions would count towards your water intake. Of course, there's also water in some of the foods you eat, so that's just a bonus!! As a final word on drinking water and weight loss, water should preferably be cold - it is absorbed more quickly into the system than warm water. There's also some evidence that drinking cold water can actually burn calories - the so-called 'thermojetic' effect or "negative calories". What does reaching a 'breakthrough point' mean? When your body gets the water it needs to function properly, your fluids are perfectly balanced and you will have reached what is called the "breakthrough point". Endocrine gland function improves. Fluid retention is alleviated as stored water is lost. More fat is utilised because the liver is free to metabolise stored fat. 100% GUARANTEED WEIGHT LOSS

Using The Amazing Coconut Oil For Weight Loss Unlike other saturated fats which are bad for your health, coconut oil is a wonder and you need it in your life! Its many health wonders is the reason why using coconut oil for weight loss will produce some amazing results. Just try it out for a month and you will see.
What is so great about coconut oil? While many people concerned with weight loss may think that they need to avoid all fats, this particular oil should not be one of the fats you avoid like the plague. There are many unhealthy fats but there are also many healthy fats that the body needs for general health and well being which can also help with weight loss. There are bad fats that you must avoid such as trans fats (eliminate from your diet) and many saturated fats (reduce or eliminate). The good or healthy fats that you need more of in your life are also known as essential fatty acids (EFAs) and are commonly found in unsaturated fats such as monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats e.g. olive oil, olives, flaxseed oil, flaxseeds, various nuts and seeds, etc. These good or healthy fats as mentioned earlier are essential for the body and help it to function properly and can also help boost your immune system, cardiovascular activity, help manage diabetes naturally, rheumatoid arthritis, eczema, psoriasis, cancer prevention, and so on and so forth. If you are trying to eliminate all fats from your body because you think this will help you lose weight, you will be doing your body a great disservice. Instead of saying all fats are evil and should be banished, you need to be asking yourself what fats you need to be eating instead. But coconut oil is a saturated fat... This is true. Saturated fats are those that are solid at room temperature unless you reside in very hot climates in which case it will be so hot that the oil will remain in liquid form. If in solid form, this oil will quickly melt once heat is applied including applying body heat when it is rubbed between the palms or applied to skin. While saturated fats is very unhealthy, it is important to remember that not all saturated fats are created equal and coconut oil while being a saturated fat is one of the good or healthy fats which is why you need it in your diet.

The reason it is considered healthy is because coconut oil is a medium chain fatty acid and not a long chain fatty acid which are the unhealthy saturated fats commonly found in fatty meats, butter, ghee, cheese, cream, and so on and so forth. What this means is that the medium chain fatty acids in this particular oil can be metabolized much faster than long chain fatty acids. In addition, medium chain fatty acids are also easily absorbed into the small intestines with other nutrients which prevents them from being deposited into the belly as fat which is why coconut oil for weight loss is effective. Coconut oil and weight loss Using coconut oil for weight loss works because of the amazing properties of this oil which include the following;
1. Does not add fat Unlike many other fats and foods that contain fat, coconut oil is not stored in the body as fat. When we eat these other fats or foods that contain fat, these fats are deposited into the blood stream and sent directly to our fat cells. The medium chain fatty acids found in this oil are not deposited into the bloodstream but are sent directly to the liver to be used for energy like the carbohydrates and simple sugars in our diets. When you eat coconut oil, it is used immediately by the body for energy that is required by the cells in the body for day to day activities. This is also the reason why this particular oil is recommended for diabetics because unlike carbohydrates and sugars that raise blood sugar levels, coconut oil does not raise blood glucose levels and it can also help to control cravings for sugar. Also note that excess amounts of carbs and sugars in the blood stream are stored as fat reserves in the body. The way the body uses this oil is why you should replace any other oils that you currently use in your life with this oil. This will not only be healthier but will help you lose weight as fat stores are decreased despite still consuming the healthy fat that the body needs.
2. Metabolism When we eat food, our metabolic rate increases in order to digest this food. This is the normal rate that everyone has but what is normal varies from one person to another which is why your friend can eat anything including unhealthy fats and not gain a pound whereas all you have to do is look at food and you gain a pound or so. She or he has a faster metabolic rate than you do which helps him or her burn more calories per day than you.

It's unfair but such is life. One of the best common methods used to increase metabolic rate is with exercise and building lean muscle and eating protein to build this lean muscle, so these are methods you can try so that your body starts to burn more calories with an increase rate of metabolism. Another way of losing weight without exercise by increasing your metabolic rate is to add this particular oil to your diet. The medium chain fatty acids contained in coconut oil are able to boost your metabolism which will cause you to burn more calories which leads to weight loss. How amazing is that? The medium chain fatty acid are quickly absorbed and burned by the body which helps them to be used as energy for your metabolism which leads to an increase in your rate of metabolism.
3. Increased energy Because this oil is burned immediately, it leads to a boost in energy and besides boosting your metabolism, it can help increase your performance levels especially if you are an athlete or if you add exercise to your weight loss regimen which will help you produce better results. These reasons are why using coconut oil for weight loss is so amazing and so effective, so go out to your nearest store and stock up on coconut oil if you haven't done so already.
How to use coconut oil for weight loss? There are many ways on how to use coconut oil for weight loss. The simplest method is to simply use coconut oil in place of many of the other oils that you use daily in your cooking. You can also use it for baking in place of butter.

Should You Use Aloe Vera Juice For Weight Loss? If you are looking for ways of losing weight without exercise, there are some products that are commonly recommended. One of them is aloe vera juice. Here is some great information on whether you should use aloe vera juice for weight loss and reasons why it may work for you in meeting your weight loss goals.
Aloe the magical plant Aloe is from the family that includes tulip, lily, garlic and onion and is also called Zanzibar aloe, Barbados, Cape, Curaiao, Socotrine, etc. The parts used are the leaves that are used to produce aloe vera gel and aloe vera juice. They can also be used to produce latex which is a very powerful laxative which is rarely used because it is so potent that it is not generally recommended to be taken internally. The term aloe is derived from the Arabic word alloeh which means shiny and bitter. Use of this plant for healing purposes dates back thousands of years. Ancient Egyptian medical writing mention the use of aloe for treating infections, skin issues and as a mild laxative. Aloe was carried by Arab traders to Europe and Asia where it became a significant part of Indian Ayurvedic medicine.
Some of the common ways to use aloe vera include The topical application of aloe is a top natural treatment for wounds including scalds, burns, sunburn and scrapes. The various healing compounds in aloe are able to reduce redness, swelling and inflammation. They can also help to relieve itching and pain. If you do have deep wounds however, aloe may actually slow healing so only use it for superficial wounds only. Aloe can also help slow down or prevent infections that can occur when skin is injured as it can effectively fight against various bacteria and fungi. It is also able to boost the immune system to help it fight off infection. Aloe can also help to reduce the high blood sugar levels associated with diabetes. Acne, skin rashes (from poison ivy, oak and sumac) and other skin issues can be effectively treated with aloe vera. Psoriasis which is a chronic skin condition which produces raised, silvery, red, itchy skin patches can be treated effectively with aloe vera through topical application of the gel. 100% GUARANTEED WEIGHT LOSS

100% GUARANTEED WEIGHT LOSS
And so on and so forth. Aloe for weight loss With all these healing properties contained in aloe, it was only a matter of time before the connection between aloe and weight loss was discovered. While the gel from the aloe plant is mainly used for topical application, aloe vera juice is used internally for various reasons including weight loss. The connection between aloe vera juice and weight loss includes the following; First of all, its mild laxative properties (not aloe latex) and detoxifying properties help to push food out of the body and allows your body to use less energy obtained from food because it is eliminated faster. This fast removal of waste and the prevention of waste build up in the colon can help to prevent potential weight gain. The connection between aloe vera juice and weight loss also relates to its blood sugar management which not only helps with diabetes management but also weight management. Aloe vera's ability to reduce and manage blood sugar levels helps to prevent excess glucose from being stored as fat and instead slowly transferring it to the cells in the body where it is needed for energy. By helping to maintain level blood sugar levels, you will feel fuller for longer periods also which prevents excessive eating and weight gain. The many B vitamins contained in aloe are important when using aloe vera juice for weight loss because they can help support your metabolism in addition to helping with appetite suppression and preventing fat storage as discussed above. Another way that aloe vera juice for weight loss is effective is because of the many nutrients that aloe contains. Many people overeat because of the empty calories that are contained in the foods they commonly eat which makes them hungrier faster. With aloe, you will feel fuller for longer periods because of the various vitamins and minerals that aloe contains will give your body the nutrients that it needs which helps to prevent hunger pangs. When you do not eat too much, weight gain is prevented and you will lose weight. These are just a few ways that aloe vera juice and weight loss are connected. You should definitely use aloe vera juice for weight loss especially if you are looking for effective ways of losing weight without exercise but it can also help to improve the results you will obtain if you add exercise to your weight loss regimen. Using aloe vera juice for weight loss Commercial aloe preparations are available in many health food stores but do make sure that they are 100 percent and organic. You can make your own aloe vera juice from the aloe gel obtained by cutting an aloe leaf and scooping out the gel. There are various recipes on how to make the juice that can be obtained online. 100% GUARANTEED WEIGHT LOSS

100% GUARANTEED WEIGHT LOSS
Always keep aloe in the refrigerator after opening or cutting the leaf because it spoils easily. Commercial preparations should not be kept for more than 30 days in the fridge once opened. Some of the ways you can use aloe vera juice for weight loss include but are not limited to the following; Drink half a glass of aloe vera juice daily and a tablespoon or two 15 minutes before a meal. The taste is not unpleasant so you may not need to mix it with anything else. You can mix half a glass of aloe vera juice with another fruit or vegetable juice if you need to make it easier to consume. You can add a bit of honey or lemon juice to improve the taste. Add the juice or the gel to your morning smoothie or green juice. Drink the juice from the aloe plant first thing in the morning to help detoxify and cleanse your body which also helps to kick start your metabolism so that it can start burning calories. Drinking a tablespoon or two again later in the day before a meal or as a preworkout is also beneficial. Safety precautions Aloe vera is generally safe for use by anyone but some people could be allergic to aloe. If aloe causes an allergic reaction or other unexpected side effects, stop use or reduce your dose. Aloe vera also has mild laxative properties which is fine but make sure that you avoid aloe latex which is made from special cells in the leaf's inner skin. Aloe latex as mentioned previously is a very powerful laxative that should not be handled lightly if at all. This plant is easily accessible as it makes the perfect house plant that requires little water and not much other care in order to thrive. All you would need is to cut off a leaf, scoop out the gel and use in your smoothies or green juices. Or you can buy aloe juice or gel from various health food stores. Click here to Download...

Proper Planning For Weight Loss Success The trite, overused phrase 'if you fail to plan, you're really just planning to fail' could never be more true when it comes to executing a successful weight loss program. The most important place to start is determining how much weight you want to lose in a given time period so you can have realistic goals to shoot for. While many people have in their minds a certain amount they want to lose, it may not be possible in the amount of time they're willing to diet for. This can be figured by a calculation taken from your body fat percentage. Before starting any weight loss program, get your body fat measured by a qualified professional so you know how much fat you actually need to lose. Once you know this, you can set realistic goals and expectations. For mental and physiological health reasons, do not try dieting for longer than 12-16 weeks at a time. Depending on your muscular tone, physical conditioning, body type and several other factors, you can expect to lose 6-20 pounds of body weight in the first 3-4 weeks of any correctly designed nutrition program. Beyond this, a reasonable goal is to try to lose 2 pounds/week for the remainder of the time. This means a realistic weight loss goal is between 30-40 pounds in a 3-4 month period. If you have 100 lbs. to lose for example, you will need more than one nutrition program to reach this goal. If you need more than one diet program, do not plan on doing one right after another as you will have diminishing returns. For large amounts of weight to lose, string several diet programs together with short breaks in between. For example, if you have to lose 100 lbs., plan on doing so with three 12 week programs spaced 10 days - 2 weeks apart. To accomplish this, take a break from low calorie eating during the down times however continue to eat the food on your diet, just in larger portions. Expect to put on 5-8 pounds in between diet plans and account for this in your overall weight loss strategy. If you need several diets like this to achieve your goals, sketch out the big plan on a one year calendar but only worry about details of each program as you're getting ready to execute it. Once you've decided how long your program will be (or how many programs you may need), the next most important planning step is the actual diet. No matter which guru you choose to follow, the best advice is to write down your eating plan before you start. Do not start your weight loss program without a written map to follow or you will veer off the course. Whether you're eating three pre-made microwave meals plus a delicious shake, counting points with an app on your phone or following a bite by bite menu, write it down before executing. Writing down your diet menu will take all the guesswork out of what to eat, when and how much. While this step may take some time to accomplish, if your plan is

correctly put together with the right foods and quantities, it will nearly guarantee your success. For consistent weight loss, it's important you eat the same amount of calories each day. Flying by the seat of your pants and eating different foods every day can easily cause erratic calorie intake and make it harder to lose body fat. A written diet plan will ensure your calories stay consistent. This also makes it easier to raise or lower your calories as you need so you can control your weight loss. If you're eating too many calories and need to cut back, a written diet plan will help you decide which foods (and how much) to reduce. Keeping a written log of your eating will also help you stay mentally strong on your program. If you're committed to eating only the foods written on your diet plan, this will keep your mind from wandering into craving goodies that will derail your efforts. A good written plan may also serve well as an accurate shopping list. After following your written nutrition plan meticulously for a period of time, you will soon have it memorized but until you do, you should keep it by your side every time you prepare and/or eat a meal. While dieting alone will only net a finite amount of weight loss, you will go much farther by including strenuous exercise in your program. For the greatest amount of fat weight loss, you should include both cardiovascular and strength training as part of your plan. Cardiovascular work should be done for overall physical conditioning but also fat loss. Strength training is a must to preserve lean body mass and improve muscular tone so the end result will be a smaller, more muscular body with improved fitness. Just like a healthy nutrition plan, a good strength training program should also be planned out, however the details do not have to be as meticulous. As long as your strength training program is using progressive resistance over a period of weeks, prioritize balance (so every muscle group gets worked at least 1-2 times/week) and intensity during execution. Cardiovascular training should be performed separately from resistance training if possible, however if scheduling doesn't permit this it's fine. Plan cardio work to increase in amounts of overall time over your entire program with 30 minutes being the smallest effective period. For example, week 1, perform a total of 2 hours of cardio; week 2, do 2.5 hours; week 3 do 3 hours total, etc. Depending on your fitness level, you will ultimately reach a cumulative amount of cardio work that will be most effective for your program. For most people this is between 4 and 6 hours/week. Plan your strength training and cardio work on a monthly calendar. This way you can see how much cardio you will need to perform each week. Also use the calendar to plan other important weekly/regular events you can use as motivation to keep going. For example body fat measurements, cheat meals and of course your end date. If you don't weigh in everyday (or at least every other), schedule an official weigh in every week. Schedule body fat measurements every 2-3 weeks. Planning your weight loss program on a calendar is important so can physically see how much longer you have and also chart progress. It will 100% GUARANTEED WEIGHT LOSS

also let you know of other events you may have to work around (like trips, business dinners, etc.) so you can plan in advance for them and stay on your program. Perhaps the most important part of your diet is the start. If you start soft and half-hearted, you can expect to lose steam, fizzle out quickly and stop before you see the results you want. Plan your weight loss program at least 1-2 weeks in advance of starting. This will give your mind time to prepare for making a big change and committing to it. Several days before opening day, start getting everything ready. This includes making sure your gym membership is up to speed, you have proper apparel for all the working out you'll be doing, preparing a shopping list and buying all the food you'll need. If you have trouble with temptations, this time can also be used for getting rid of all the bad, fattening, non-diet food out of their house. Plan your weight loss program correctly ahead of time and the only thing that can derail your efforts is your will power. Anyone can lose 5-10 pounds from simply cutting out sugar, bread or soft drinks for 2-3 weeks, however real weight loss takes planning. If you have more than this to lose, take your time planning ahead and you will be sure to reach your goals! Click here to Download...

5 Tips For Weight Loss Are you ready to lose some weight? Perhaps you're surfing for the magic pill that will vanish your weight away. Maybe you're simply searching for the right information to help you lose and keep the weight off. Whatever the case, here's some surefire tips to help you with your weight loss. 1. Do your homework. As you start your weight loss plan, take the time to carefully evaluate your situation. What caused the weight gain? Pregnancy? Inactivity? Overeating and binging? Emotions? There are many triggers in our lives that will cause us to gain weight. Some can be prevented or eliminated, some can't. It's important as you begin your weight loss to understand and come to grips with the cause of your weight. Be honest with yourself. Don't cheat on this one. Obviously, you want to have your weight loss become permanent. In order to keep off the weight in the future, you may have to make some lifestyle changes to stay slim. Don't give up before you start. There's usually more than one solution to any weight gain reason. Just remain open-minded, and be willing to change to get the results you desire. Don't hesitate to read and learn as much as you can about weight gain. It's really easy to understand, and you may be surprised at what you learn. 2. Avoid Hidden Calories. Here's an over simplified version of weight loss and weight maintenance... if you eat more than your body needs, you gain weight. If you eat less (reduce calories) than your body needs, you lose weight! While it sounds simple enough, just eat less ....Right? Basically that's true. Yet, there are other things that come into play as one is trying to lose weight. One common mistake many people make as they diet is the fact they don't really understand how much is provided by the food they are eating. This is especially true with eating out and eating snack foods and beverages. A serving as defined by the scientific communities on weight loss and a serving that your local restaurant provides is most often very different. For example, one serving of bread is typically one slice. Yet, the average bun in a fast food restaurant is actually almost three servings. A single serving of French fries is 15 fries. Just take a guess at how many servings are in a "Biggie" French fry container. Also, don't be fooled into thinking just because a bag of popcorn is small, that it's a single serving. The same thing goes for beverages. The bottle may contain16 oz. Yet, the serving size may be 4 ounces. Pay attention to actually how many servings of food and beverages you are actually consuming. The amount may surprise you.

I'll give you an example, my son-in-law who's 28 was had put on several pounds. His favorite cola is Mountain Dew. Mountain Dew has higher sugar content than most other cola's. He didn't have a clue as to how may calories he was consuming by drinking 3 or 4 24 oz bottles a day. When my daughter told him, he was amazed. He replaced the cola with water and went from a 38" waist to a 34" waist in about two months. Be careful, you may be consuming more than you think. 3. Consider Diet Pills Carefully. Maybe one of your diet buddies has decided to buy diet pills, or maybe you've seen or heard a commercial for diet supplements promising easy fast weight loss. If so, please evaluate CAREFULLY! Even the most natural-sounding diet pills or weight loss supplements can be useless for weight loss, or dangerous, or both. Diet pills are very tempting things if you want to lose weight, especially if you have tried several conventional weight loss plans without success. The side effects and dangers of some diet and weight loss pills can vary enormously because many of these pills contain a cocktail of ingredients and because dosage instructions may be inadequate. Possible side effects include: nervousness, tremor, diarrhea, bulging eyes, racing heartbeat, elevated blood pressure even heart failure. There are some instances when diet pills can be helpful. Usually these are indicated in the truly obese person. For the person wanting to lose 5 or 10 pounds, they usually aren't necessary. So you may ask, how does the diet pills work to cause weight loss, while I continue to eat the same amount? In recent years, it seems everyone has the PERFECT answer to help with your weight loss. There are almost as many weight loss methods and diet pills available as there are people who want to lose weight. There are diet pills that stop your hunger so you eat less and burn more fat. There are diet pills that cause the body not to metabolize all the food you eat, so it's passed out of your system and not stored as fat. There's combination of these two. As you begin your search for the perfect diet pill, be careful as some can have harmful effects on your body. Diet Pills work by shifting levels of brain chemicals (neurotransmitters) that control satiety (fullness) and desire for food. Some also slightly increase your metabolic rate - the rate at which your body burns calories. Examples of weight loss diet pills include: Diethylpropion hydrochloride (eg. Tenuate) Mazindol (eg. Mazanor, Sanorex) Phendimetrazine tartrate (eg. Bontril) Phentermine hydrochloride (eg. Adipex-P, Ionamin)

4. Monitor/Increase Your Activity - Regardless whether you're taking diet pills or not to help with your weight loss, it's still important to maintain a regular exercise program. This is beneficial not only for your weight loss, but also for your overall health. In many ways we in the developed country have a much more sedentary lifestyle than our bodies need. Obviously it's easier for us than in the era when people had to be very active simply to survive, yet it's not necessarily healthy for us not to be active. Start and maintain some sort of exercise plan no matter what your age. Especially for the middle-aged and older people exercise play a very, very important role in the quality of health and staying within normal weight ranges. 5. Develop a Plan for Maintenance. Even if you're taking diet pills to help with your weight loss it's important to keep in mind, that once you stop the pills, unless you maintain a balance between your activity level and the food you eat the weight will come back. While it may take some time to become accustomed to a change in diet and activity, the rewards are well worth the time and effort spent to reach and maintain a healthy weight.

Is Natural Weight Loss Really Possible? Natural Weight Loss Is Permanent Only natural weight loss can be permanent. Going on diets and taking weight loss pills to eliminate food cravings is only temporary and leads to obesity. Not only is natural weight loss safe, but you'll eliminate food cravings without taking weight loss pills. Most weight loss systems are not natural, and that's why the "failure rate" is over 98%. There are no diets whatsoever, which lead to natural weight loss, because every single diet slows down your metabolism, which means that when you go off the diet, you will eventually gain back more weight than you lost. How many people do you know, who actually kept it off? So, dieting is just not an option, if you want to keep the weight off for good.
Weight Loss Pills Most weight loss pills or diet pills are nothing more than appetite suppressants, which help to take away food cravings so that you don't eat, or don't eat as much. So in reality, what you've done by taking weight loss pills, is actually putting yourself on a very drastic starvation diet, during which your body is getting progressively more starved for nutrition, and also... Your metabolism will slow down to a crawl, and that's your guarantee that when you go off the weight loss pills, you are going to blow up like a balloon, and eventually gain all the weight back, plus a few extra pounds as a bonus.
Food Supplements Taking a safe and healthy food supplement that your body can absorb, can really enhance a good natural weight loss program, because the extra nutrition will help your body to become more nutritionally satisfied. This will help to eliminate food cravings without taking weight loss pills. Cutting back on food cravings by becoming more nutritionally satisfied, means that... You won't slow down your metabolism, and you won't have the same problem with regaining the weight. 100% GUARANTEED WEIGHT LOSS

100% GUARANTEED WEIGHT LOSS
The problem however... Is that most food supplements are not absorbed very well by your body. When you take a Vitamin and Mineral supplement for example, most people are only able to absorb between 4 to 5%, so it's a total waste of money, plus... If you are not absorbing the supplement, it will definitely not help to eliminate food cravings, so you're no further ahead. In the Slim America Weight-Loss Project, we only recommend natural food supplements which are fully absorbed by the body. As a result, these totally safe food supplements really help to enhance and speed up our natural weight-loss program, and also... Not only are food cravings greatly reduced, but our students are reporting lots of extra energy, more stamina, and are finding it much easier to stay away from junk foods which provide very little nutrition, but really help to put on the pounds.
Exercise for Natural Weight Loss Proper exercise is an essential ingredient in any natural weight-loss program, because there is no way that the weight loss will be permanent without exercise, and that's a fact. But here's the problem... Over 95% of all the weight loss exercises, that people do in order to burn off fat, actually burn almost no fat whatsoever. Most of these exercises burn almost exclusively sugar, and that's why it's so hard to get rid of the fat. For most people who are overweight, especially if you're obese, doing all the normal weight loss exercises like running, swimming, playing sports, using all the fancy exercise equipment in gyms, weight lifting etc., are practically useless for getting rid of fat. Most of these exercises are very hard to do, require a lot of work, and a lot of sweating, for very little results. For sure, if you stick to it long enough it will certainly help, however... The results are so minimal for most people that 99% of people will give up long before achieving any realistic results. In the Slim America Weight-Loss Project, we only recommend walking for weight loss, however just normal walking is not very effective either.

Seven Crucial Steps for Long Term Weight Loss 1. Food Intake – How much do you need? First of all, you need to understand that in order to begin losing weight you must consume fewer calories than your body burns in a period of a day. The bottom line is, regardless of the confusion brought on by the media and industry, calories still count! Your body weight is largely a product of total daily caloric intake minus total daily energy expenditure (TDEE). So, to lose weight, your daily food consumption measured in calories must be less than TDEE. In other words a deficit in calories must be created to trigger a reduction in body weight. Although this is a simple concept, it’s not easily accomplished. And statistics prove it: approximately 50% of Americans are obese and two thirds of Americans are borderline obese. It doesn’t have to be that way, however. People need to be educated with respect to health, nutrition and weight loss maintenance. Knowledge is what we need. Knowledge is power, and with power comes change. One simple guideline for losing weight is to adjust your daily caloric intake to equal ten times your weight in pounds. For example if you weigh 180 lbs. your total daily food intake should equal 1800 calories. This would create a sufficient deficit in calories for gradual weight loss. This method will not work, however, for people who are extremely obese. Another efficient method of losing weight at a reasonably comfortable pace (for any person) is to reduce your total daily food intake by 500 calories. One pound equals 3500 calories and at the rate of 500 calories per day, it translates to 1 pound of weight loss per week. This is a sensible, realistic weight loss pace and more likely to succeed in the long term. On the other hand, diet programs based on more extreme calorie restriction are very stressful physically and mentally, which is why they result in quick but temporary weight reduction. Not to mention the high cost of many weight loss plans that include pre packaged food, unnecessary meal replacements, supplements and so on. A more accurate method to figure out how many calories you actually need (to maintain your weight) is to take your body weight and multiply it by 11. Say you weigh 160 pounds and you are completely sedentary. 160 x 11 = 1760 (calories). So you would need 1760 calories if you sat around all day with very minimal movement to remain at 160 pounds.

Now to go a step further, we have to determine your metabolic factor. There are 3 main categories for metabolism. Slow metabolism is when you have a very difficult time losing weight. Medium metabolism means you don’t have difficulty losing weight - if you really try. And Fast metabolism is when it seems no matter how much you eat you can’t gain weight. Don’t I wish I had that problem. See the table below.
Slow Metabolism (%) Under 30 Years of Age - 30% Between 30-40 Years of Age - 25% Over 40 Years of Age - 20% Medium Metabolism (%) Under 30 Years of Age - 40% Between 30-40 Years of Age - 35% Over 40 Years of Age - 30%
Fast Metabolism (%) Under 30 Years of Age - 50% Between 30-40 Years of Age – 45% Over 40 Years of Age - 40% Let’s continue with the above example (1760 cal.) and let’s say you’re 35 years old and have a slow metabolism. The corresponding metabolic rate factor would be 25%. 1760 x 25% = 440 calories – which means you would need an additional 440 calories. Your total daily calories would therefore equal 2200 (1760 + 440). In other words, you would require 2200 calories per day to maintain your present weight. Now to lose weight at a comfortable pace (as mentioned above), subtract 500 calories from this total. That would equal 1700 calories (2200 – 500). Consequently, in order to lose one pound per week you would require 1700 daily calories from food. The next step would be to keep track of all your calories. To do that you will need to know the calorie content of the foods you eat. A calorie counter or calculator is where you enter the type of food product, the amount (in grams or ounces) and it calculates the calorie content for you.

To increase your rate of weight loss even further you can raise your exercise level. One way to accomplish this is by participating in a program of regular physical activity or if you already are, simply increase the exercise intensity level. See tip number 6 and 7 in this article for more information on physical activity and weight loss.
2. Diet Composition Your diet must consist of foods from all food groups (e.g. meat, dairy, vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts/seeds, legumes). If you’re a vegetarian, you can still get sufficient amounts of protein from legumes, soy bean products and whole grains. In a French study, evidence suggested that diet variety was one of the reasons French people were less obese and had fewer occurrences of heart disease than Americans. Another important factor was the diversity in their diet. Overall, the French diet contained more foods from all food groups and consisted of more types of food and food products compared to the American diet. Furthermore, the French seemed to enjoy their food more. Their meals were like special gatherings, celebrations, meant to be enjoyed by all. They typically didn’t eat very fast. They seemed to enjoy their food more; it’s as if time stood still during their meals. This method of eating accomplishes several things. For one, eating slower and being more relaxed during meals increases chewing time. In addition, by slowing down the pace of a meal and chewing more, you are more likely to get a feeling of fullness while eating less quantities of food. In contrast, North Americans, very often eat on the run. The other benefit of the French eating style is that it aids the digestive process by reducing workload and improving the efficiency of nutrient distribution throughout the body. An increase in food variety and diversity decreases the percentage of bad foods (saturated/trans fats, unrefined carbohydrates) present in your digestive system. Moreover, increased fiber content from fresh foods (fruits vegetables and whole grains) also sweeps up and pushes out bad foods quicker, leaving them less time to be absorbed by the intestines and therefore becoming less harmful. As a result risks of developing chronic diseases, such as various forms of cancer and heart related diseases are also reduced. (2)
3. Quantity and Frequency of Meals Does the size and quantity of your meals really matter? You’ve probably heard many times over that it’s best to have smaller more frequent meals throughout the day. In other words snacking is preferable to gorging. Is this fact or fiction? Well, the fact of the matter is that scientific research with respect to this area of study has been largely contradicting. There really is no overwhelming evidence to support the idea that increased frequency and decreased portion size of meals is associated with weight loss efficiency. This eating method, however, has been shown to benefit athletic performance in trained athletes. (3) 100% GUARANTEED WEIGHT LOSS
30
100% GUARANTEED WEIGHT LOSS
A study with ice skaters suggested that meals taken throughout the day to correspond with periods of physical demand associated with training, help to maximize performance. Keep in mind that improving athletic performance in athletes is one thing, but increasing the rate of weight loss is something quite different. Although, when taken to extremes, it is probably better to eat 8-10 smaller meals per day than 1 large one for example. As it turns out, the customary three meals a day method is just fine. There just hasn’t been enough convincing evidence to prove that it has a negative effect on weight loss. Eating 5-6 meals a day is also fine. Changing to a more frequent eating style, however, may cause you to over eat, if you’re not careful, especially at the beginning. This is because, subconsciously, you’re used to having larger food portions at meal time. So, it’s important to keep track of the food quantity of every meal, until you get accustomed to the new way of eating.
4. Don’t Skip Meals Ever heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day? Well it’s true. The one meal you should never skip is breakfast. It is the meal that sets the tone for your metabolism. When you miss breakfast your metabolism responds by slowing down. Your body receives signals of famine from the brain and switches to energy conservation mode. This means rather than burning calories the body gets stingier with them. The other thing that happens, when missing breakfast is, by the time lunch time comes around you feel starved and you almost always end up overeating. And as a result of this added pressure on your digestive system, most of your energy gets used up as your body works hard to digest and absorb all that food. Needles to say, you won’t feel very productive when you return to work, a feeling which may last for the next few hours. Another important benefit of not skipping meals is that your blood sugar level is more stable, which keeps insulin in check – reducing unnecessary fat storage and ensuring that you have adequate energy levels required to perform your daily tasks with less physical and psychological stress.

5. Water It was thought that drinking plenty of water throughout the day was a crucial part of a good weight loss strategy; the theory was that an adequate amount of water – 8 eight-ounce glasses per day – gives you a feeling of fullness which reduces periods of hunger; and the 100% GUARANTEED WEIGHT LOSS

less you feel hungry the less you are going to snack – which translates to fewer calories. Recent studies have suggested, however, that choosing foods with high water content like fruits and vegetables and blending water into meals like soup has a greater effect on satiety, than simply just drinking water. And that it may result in a reduction of total daily calories. In other words, including water rich foods like watermelon and other fruits and vegetables, fruit juice, and soups in your diet, is more effective with respect to satiety than relying on just drinking water. As a result, you wouldn’t need to drink 8 glasses of water a day, if you were getting an adequate supply from your diet. In fact, drinking 8 glasses of water per day is a misconception. This number was originally reported by the National Academy of Sciences of the United States Food and Nutrition Board. They also mentioned, however, in the same report, that the majority of water people need comes from food. (4) The recommendation for a healthy individual is to drink one cup of water or juice with every meal. It’s also important to keep in mind that the human body is made up of 60-70% water. All our organs consist of a lot of water. Blood is mainly composed of water. So it makes sense to ensure that you’re always getting an adequate supply. Here are some functions of water: -
regulates your body temperature transports nutrients to your organs transports vital oxygen to your cells removes waste from your body protects all your organs and joints
6. Exercise As you know, exercise participation is an important factor in weight loss and weight loss maintenance. In addition to weight reduction here are 20 important health benefits of physical activity. 1.

How Much exercise is Necessary for Weight Loss? It depends on your goals and your body condition. Here are some questions you should ask yourself: -
How much weight do you want to lose?
100% GUARANTEED WEIGHT LOSS
33
100% GUARANTEED WEIGHT LOSS
-
What’s Your Age
-
How much do you weigh?
-
What is your physical condition?
-
What is your daily caloric intake?
-
Will you combine exercise with caloric restriction?
If you’re overweight, by more than 20 pounds, you need to participate in a program that includes diet restriction (reduce total daily calories by 500 cal.) and regular exercise (6-7 days a week). You should exercise for at least 30 continuous minutes – for best results increase the duration (up to 60 minutes). Your target intensity should be between 65-75% of your maximum heart rate – in other words, a comfortably vigorous level of intensity. The American College of Sports Medicine recommends that a good weight loss program should consist of daily caloric expenditure of 300-500 calories from exercise. (10) How do you calculate your heart rate? An easy formula for figuring out your maximum heart rate works by simply subtracting your age from 220. If you’re 40 years old, for example, your maximum heart rate is 180 beats per minute (220-40). To train at 70% of your maximum heart rate, simply multiply 180 by 70 and divide by 100, which equals 126 beats per minute. Therefore in order to train at an intensity level of 70% of maximum heart rate your training heart rate should be 126 beats per minute. How do you calculate your heart rate during exercise? Simply take your pulse by counting the number of beats over a 10 second period. Multiply that figure by 6 and you have the number of beats for a 1 minute period – that’s your training heart rate. Before you begin exercising, however, get clearance from your doctor, especially if you’re a beginner.
7. Exercise for Weight Loss Maintenance Once you reach a desirable body weight, you can switch your exercise routine to weight loss maintenance mode. That means you can reduce the frequency of your workouts to 3-4 times a week. The duration and the intensity should remain the same - 60 minutes at a comfortably vigorous level. You will notice as you reach higher levels of fitness, exercise intensity must be turned up a notch to keep the workout challenging and also to burn more calories.

9 Steps To A Healthy Weight Loss Program So who cares about healthy weight loss? Well, if the information below means anything there is a large portion of society which should care. Over 65% of adults 20 years or older can be classified as obese. Additionally, 17% of adolescents of ages 12-19 years are overweight and 19% of children age 6-11 years. Obesity is and will continue to be a serious problem in the future. In fact, it is predicted that obesity will reach epidemic levels by the year 2020. While everyone understands that being overweight, or obese, is "not good for you", many people do not understand the risks they and their loved ones face if they fall into this category. Obese or overweight people are at increased risk for some or all of the following conditions: 1. Various forms of heart disease 2. Strokes 3. Diabetes 4. Cancer 5. Arthritis 6. Respiratory problems 7. Psychological disorders 6. High blood pressure or hypertension It is estimated that 300,000 deaths in the U. S. each year are associated with obesity, and the economic cost of obesity in the United States was about $117 billion in 2000. Economic costs include the out-of-pocket expenditures of the individuals involved, the costs of the institutions and organizations which help provide services, and the costs born by every member of society whether they are in this group or not.
A healthy weight loss program could do much to help individuals avoid the personal and financial risks associated with being overweight while helping them achieve longer, happier,

more productive lives more years of healthy enjoyment once they leave the work place behind them. Unfortunately these days, one is more likely to hear of a "fast" weight loss program than a healthy weight loss program, and it is next to impossible to include both terms in the same sentence. The fast weight loss programs which are so prevalent are short term, temporary "fixes" when they fix anything at all. These programs, which commonly involve drinks, supplements, pills, or exotic exercise equipment, simply do not work, at least not for permanent, healthy weight loss. Worse, many of these fast weight loss programs may actually contribute to further weight gain, decreased enjoyment of life, diminished health, and, in extreme cases, even death. Fortunately, there are healthy weight loss programs, plans, systems, and options which can provide, or contribute not only to healthy weight loss, but a lifetime of healthy weight management. While a full program would take a book to explain all the possible actions you can take for healthy weight loss, here are a few tips that can help anyone get started on a lifelong program for health and fitness. Here are some tips on how you can lose those unwanted pounds the healthy way: 1. Start moving. One of the most effective weight loss strategies around is exercise. Sadly, many people have no idea how much or which exercise they should do. Many do not even realize that simple, enjoyable activities such as gardening, swimming, or playing tag with the kids can be part of an exercise program. Exercise is such a diverse topic that anyone serious about losing weight should do a little research on the types of activities that may possibly be a part of their weight loss program. 2. Eat smart. There is a lot you can do to improve what and how you eat, but some of it takes training and knowledge most people do not have. It also involves all sorts of convoluted decision making, sometimes based on charts and lists, good carbs, bad carbs, high glycemic index foods and low glycemic index foods. If you are able to learn all that great, but just use come common sense in the meantime. Eat lots of veggies and fruits, have some protein, but not a ton, and stay away from stuff with sugar. Teach yourself to use artificial sweeteners instead of sugar, and start looking at labels. 3. Eat small. Eat small, healthy meals and snacks several times a day. One failure mechanism built in to a diet is the denial of food. It is not just the denial of pleasure of food and eating, but your body also reacts one way when food is denied, and another when it is regularly supplied daily with small healthy meals and snacks.

4. Team up. Get together with a friend who has much the same goals as you. Take a walk with them every day. Meet them for lunch. They won't make faces when you order something for your health rather than for the fun of it. In fact, why not get a group together? That way, if one person is not available, maybe someone else will be. Plus the social interaction is good for you. People who "go on diets" tend to start avoiding people, and that often is at least a part of the reason they fall off the diet wagon. 5. Think health. Don't try to lose weight. Instead, try to get healthy. First of all, a positive goal is easier to work towards than a negative one. Second, doing things to make yourself healthy is easier to sell to yourself and to others than "trying to lose weight". Also, there will be setbacks along the way. These are normal. If you fail to lose weight as fast as you think you ought to, or if you gain weight, in your mind you will have "failed". If however you eat a second piece of pie, you have slowed down on your path to health, but you can get back on track within minutes simply by going for a walk or remembering to use sweetener in your drink rather than sugar. 6. Get rest. When your body is tired, certain chemical changes take place and substances are released that contribute to weight gain or slow weight loss. It is easier to get involved in activity when you are rested. 7. Have fun. Two of the reasons you want to lose weight is so that you can feel good, and feel good about yourself. You want to enjoy life. It works both ways. If you lose weight and feel healthy, you will want to enjoy life, and you will feel good about yourself. If you go out of your way to enjoy life, you will probably be more active, and this, combined with other beneficial effects related to weight gain and weight loss will help your healthy weight loss program. 8. Drink water. Many times we interpret the body's signals as hunger when they are actually thirst. Often, a glass of water will satisfy what we believe are hunger pangs. Keeping the body properly hydrated helps it process toxins and perform a myriad of functions more efficiently. 9. Don't quit. When you are on a healthy weight loss program, your weight loss will be slow. Many people are disheartened when they think of only losing one or two pounds a week on average. However, that would be a weight loss of 52 to 104 pounds in a year and 104 to 208 pounds in two years! To put that in proportion, I had a friend who had a gastric bypass. She was told that even with surgery, she would probably only lose about 75 pounds in her first year, and the weight loss would slow down in the second year! Many people could accomplish similar results just by building up to a daily 20 to 30 minute walk and by cutting a few empty calories out of their diet.

By the way, if you have not been exercising and begin exercising as part of a healthy weight loss program, it is highly likely that you will actually GAIN weight at first. Don't let this dishearten you. It is entirely normal and can actually be considered part of the body's preparation to lose weight and live a healthier life!
Be happy with your results. If you are living in a healthy manner, you will lose weight. Certainly, how much weight you lose will depend on a lot of factors, and, if you are walking 20 minutes a day and haven't lost what you would like to lose, you can walk 30 minutes a day, or 15 minutes twice a day. Adapt and move on. However, do not expect to be the man or woman you were in high school or college. You might never fit into your old prom dress or army uniform again. I don't, and I exercise regularly and try to eat right. I feel great and am in excellent health, but my old army uniform is just a memory hanging in my closet now. Click here to Download...

Natural Weight Loss For Good Health and Well Being Weight loss is becoming an unhealthy obsession dealing with body images, but in some cases can improve health and fitness. When weight loss is a result of eating healthy, exercising and/or taking natural weight loss supplements in contrast to synthetic prescription drugs with the risk of harmful side effects, weight loss can be effective, rewarding, and greatly improve overall health. Extra weight, especially extra fat on a person's body, applies significantly increased stresses on the heart, joints and back. These stresses can be extremely detrimental to one's health. Healthy weight loss can reduce the risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, arthritis and other health problems, as well as generally extending an otherwise average life span. Recently, the scientific root cause or explanation of obesity has been revealed as being part of one's physiology. The internal functions of an obese person are different than those of a healthy person, and cause intense hunger pains and food cravings. Natural weight loss supplements can help counteract this constant hunger and lead to healthy weight loss. Unbalanced hormones are a common cause of weight gain, therefore taking natural hormone balancers and herbal supplements would help to create a healthy weight loss regimen. Restoring your health allows you to lose weight naturally, without excess frustration and effort. It's all about losing weight from the inside out. Emotional issues always accompany change, especially changes in our bodies e.g. natural weight loss. Weight loss affects our perception body image, our sense of identity i.e. who am I?, and how we feel about ourselves in general. Weight loss also effects our social relationships in that there may be people in our family or social contacts that are emotionally invested in our remaining the same i.e. overweight with all that it symbolizes e.g. friendliness, non-threatening, protective, jovial, helpful, etc. Beyond our physical health, it can be said that "size matters" cognitively and emotionally to ourselves and others. Eating and food have come to symbolize being accepted, being cared for and comfort. Having the support of others in our efforts to naturally lose weight and regain our health is a huge advantage. We have been "conditioned" to fear any kind of loss, including weight loss. Especially if what we may lose is something with which we identify i.e. use to tell us who we are. The emotions of fear, anger, anxiety and depression effect our weight. We often tend to "stuff our feelings" or numb these emotional feelings or stress by overeating. We may even overeat, thinking that will ease the physical discomfort caused by excess weight e.g. physical 100% GUARANTEED WEIGHT LOSS

pain, lack of sleep, and lack of energy caused by moderate depression. To improve our overall health and support us through the process of natural weight loss and the emotional dynamics around it, we can take advantage of natural sleep aids, natural depression relief and natural pain relief health care products. Our weight and health is greatly dependent upon our having a healthy digestive system or metabolism. Our digestive system converts, on a cellular and muscular level, the foods we eat, eliminates toxins, and uses and stores glucose for energy. Natural enzymes trigger hunger signals and facilitate absorption of nutrition. Good digestion with the help of natural enzymes aids in the conversion of fat to muscle. Allergy and sensitivity to food, parasites, yeast overgrowth and emotional stress are signals of digestive disruption and inflammation. Natural essential fatty acids work to reduce intestinal inflammation, decrease harmful acids, help the liver process proteins that grow muscle, balance hormones and facilitate the elimination of toxins. Natural essential fatty acids help clear our digestive system of heavy metals, harmful bacteria, pesticides that we are increasingly encountering in our environment. Essential fatty acids along with natural fiber help us clean out the intestinal debris that harm our health and often lead to weight gain. Essential fatty acids also help our brain's neurotransmitters to function properly in order to deal with stress, emotions, and cravings that can lead to overeating and weight gain. Natural amino acids are the building blocks that make up proteins. Next to water, protein makes up the greatest part of our body weight. Amino acids help increase metabolism, build muscle, ease moderate depression, and help burn fat. Natural antioxidants help carry more oxygen to cells and muscles to help increase energy, burn fat, build muscle and process the foods we eat. Hormone balance is essential for natural weight loss. Our metabolism slows as we get older because of the decrease or imbalance of hormones. This contributes to weight gain. Hormone balance also helps us deal with stress that leads to weight gain. Proper hormone balance helps to decrease cravings and binge eating. There are many natural hormone balancing products available, e.g. natural progesterone, promensil, soy isoflavones, essential fatty acids and hormone balancing formulas. Our metabolism's primary task is to nourish our brains. We need healthy neurotransmitters to help us curb craving, ease depression, and deal with stress that lead to weight gain. Balancing our natural brain chemistry has a calming effect and allows us to feel a sens of well being and safety. There are many natural health care products to help balance brain chemistry, e.g. essential fatty acids, natural depression relief products, natural products to increase serotonin, and more. When our brain feels well and safe, it is prone to change our metabolism from calorie saving to calorie burning. 100% GUARANTEED WEIGHT LOSS

Our bodies were designed to move and be active. Movement requires muscle activity. Muscle activity uses the glycogen supply found in our muscles. When this glycogen supply stored in our muscles is used, our body is forced to use stored fat as an energy source. Using this stored fat through movement and exercise, results in natural weight loss. There is no reason for us to become athletes to accomplish natural weight loss. Low impact exercise like swimming, walking, etc, can be done slowly and without strain. In order to lose real weight rather than "water weight", it is important to drink extra amounts of water when exercising. Drinking more water will also help our digestive system and metabolism to use and eliminate extra weight. Remember, the first objective, accomplished through natural weight loss, is to improve our physical and emotional health. This involves having a healthy digestive system, a healthy emotional system and a healthy nutritional system. We can build these healthy systems with natural vitamins, amino acids, antioxidants, natural digestive aid, pain relief aid, natural sleep aids, natural emotional and mood aids, essential fatty acids and many more helpful natural health care products. We need to concentrate on improving our general health, feeling good, and living well through natural weight loss, rather than constantly comparing ourselves to someone else's idea about appearance from some magazine. Physical and emotional health is primary. Appearance may be important to us, but it is secondary. Through natural weight loss, we can live well and live long. Click here to Download...

Lose Body Fat With Weight Loss Psychology Almost anybody can lose weight. Yet, the fact is, winners remain the minority and failure resides with the majority. In fact, weight loss success rates remain so extremely rare that many individuals hardly ever even bother to attempt losing weight at all.
Of those who do try to lose unwanted body fat, the number of successful candidates remains low. Yet, almost anybody can lose weight IF and only WHEN she or he remains armed with the proper help. For example, you can get much assistance even from the fact that weight loss entails a myriad of factors. And, for your success, such weight loss factors must indeed include:
Weight loss awareness; The basic understanding of physical body fat adaptation (that is, how your body reacts and responds to diet, exercise, and your very own thought patterns); plus Ongoing accumulation of accredited weight knowledge. This weight loss reading helps you accomplish three things: Discerning the weight loss definition. Handling the physical body fat attack. Realizing the gigantic impact of weight loss psychology. Textbook Weight Loss Definition The textbook definition of losing Weight entails using up calories BEYOND what you normally expend. Thousands of people hold misrepresented or misshapen ideas about what weight loss comprises. For example, an all too common weight loss mistake that's easy for you to make is failing to move outside of your comfort zone. The greatest difference between mere physical activation and exercise itself is this: Physical activity includes virtually ANYTHING you might do... watching TV, cooking dinner, sewing, going to the movies, talking on the phone, taking a shower, etc. However, basically none of the above burn the significant calorie amounts needed to lose body fat.

The definition of overall FITNESS carries with it the concept of change. Consider burning body fat as a way of making your body change. When you burn body fat successfully, you also achieve a much higher fitness level. Would you like to briefly explore why the above weight loss fitness fact is true? Okay, here's the quick explanation... Intensive Movement Willpower - Your Body Fat Removal Key Almost any physical activity practiced thirty to forty-five minutes per day is beneficial to health but provides little or no contribution to fitness progress. The reason is that the activity level itself remains too low. Although low-intensity exercises are beneficial enough to merely avoid sickness, they fail to reach the metabolic goal necessary to remove unwanted fat. You need an energy output of about 500 calories each day to lose approximately one pound of fat per week. That's because one pound of fat, in one sense, "weighs" 3,500 calories. So, look at this weight loss body fat fact again... if you desire to lose one pound of fat, you merely need to expend 500 calories per day for one week. That's it. Sounds so simple, direct, and straightforward, right? And, the method truly is a clear one. Yet, why do so many find this difficult to do? The answer to that lies in the realm of psychological versus physiological weight loss development.
Body Fat PHYSIOLOGY How Weight Loss Calorie Management Occurs Your weight loss APPROACH may be almost the total opposite of your body's fat management ADAPTATION. There is a great distinction between these two. In order to affect fat loss changes, be sure you know the difference. The reason why your body requires intense PHYSICAL action follows. About Adipose Tissue (the scientific name that includes the place where excess body fat gets stored)... Adipose tissue has to move through about 7 channels before you can transform it to "inuse," non-fat-structured energy. In stages one and two, you simply have to move slightly more quickly to stimulate chemical body fat changes.

Then, stages three through seven require lots of oxygen uptake - deeper and more consistent breathing. Such breathing pattens most easily come to you as a result of aerobic actions like rowing, running, brisk or fast walking, swimming, bicycling, skating, dancing, etc. In the presence of oxygen, certain acids in your body combine with glucose and move finally enable themselves (with your physical activity helping) to move them into your "fat-burning chamber. After burning in your mitochondria, you literally see the by-products of weight loss, which are sweating, exhaled air, and heat. Rest assured that after each and effectively every such experience, you lose enough calories to affect weight loss achievement. Therefore, the bottom line on the physical side of weight loss is this - move hard enough to cause constant and deep breathing without fatigue... and simply keep moving for as long as possible. FYI: The average adult heart rate associated with such body fat achievement is around 119 beats per minute. (It can be lower or higher, depending on your conditioning.) Yet, you can still fail at losing weight unless you COUPLE your physical attack with a meaningful, personalized understanding of weight loss PSYCHOLOGY.
Body Fat PSYCHOLOGY (Thought Patterns, Processing, And Awareness) The Impact of Body Fat Knowledge and Attitude On Weight Loss Outcome Ever stop to consider your human psychology weight loss perspectives? For example, what does weight loss represent for you? Is it a matter of eating foods you love or hate? Is losing body fat motivated by a need for social change? Do you want to lose weight in order to feel better, look better, or perform better? All of the above, or none of the above - it's up to you. Every person has his or her own personalized drive or rationale for achieving weight loss rewards. Yet, regardless of your motivation in the above, there are primary body fat percentage challenges you are likely to face. These include:

Lack of Motivation Lack of Patience Know this for yourself - People who lose weight and keep it off with self-sufficiency, confident, and control - these individuals practice consistently. Conscious repetition is key in primary sport activities. Practice and upgrade your ability to REPEAT a beneficial, intellectual, weight loss action. This is, in short, mind control... training yourself and acquiring specific, outstandingly helpful skill in: a) creating a weight loss target; b) aiming at your specified body fat target; and c) hitting that fat-loss target almost each and every time. These are powers of the mind, and the physical weight loss rewards merely follow your mental directive. No one can say enough to stress the importance of weight loss psychology awareness and utilization. Without it you stand half-clothed in the inclement weather of weight loss endeavor. Weight loss psychology principles can go as deep as cognitive method, stimulus control, or behavior substitution. Yet, keeping it on the surface is enough for you to lose weight. Go with small increments; establish very short-term goals that are within easy reach. For example, do you know that losing just 10% of your present body weight is an accredited, acceptable, easily measurable and achievable fat loss goal? When you look at this weight loss number, you can see that it equals about 1 or two pounds of fat loss per week. One to two ponds per week of weight loss from body fat sources only is the amount sanctioned by the American Council On Exercise, the American Heart Association, and The American College of Sports Medicine. This simplified and easily reachable weight loss prescription exists for your benefit. Use it. Also, be sure, from this point forward, not to negate the power of weight loss psychology. Couple it with your body fat performance approaches. In conclusion, this entire reading serves merely as an example of how you can set your mind to lose weight with more effectiveness, enjoyment, and success. Click here to Download...

Steps to a Healthy Weight Loss Diet Obesity is a sickness that can strike any one at any age. At present, an estimated 150 million Americans - both children and adults - are overweight. Because of this, several weight loss methods and products are being sold in the market, in an attempt to curb these statistics. But are they really effective? Read on to find out.
Obesity 101 Obesity occurs when one accumulates too much body fat. It is measured through one's body mass index (BMI), or the proportion of one's height to his weight. A BMI of over 25 means that you are overweight; over 30 means you are obese. More alarming is the fact that millions of Americans are suffering from morbid obesity, an extreme form of the condition. Morbid obesity occurs if you are 100 lbs. overweight or have a BMI of over 40. If left untreated, obesity can lead to serious complications like difficulty in motor movements, heart complications, high blood pressure, and even diabetes.
Finding the cure Several weight loss products and programs have become available, most of them claiming to provide the fastest and easiest means of losing weight. However, most of these programs are either fraudulent or ineffective, and many only offer temporary results. Over-thecounter weight loss pills are not strictly regulated, so many fraudulent products make it to the shelves. Some weight loss centers, although effective, tend to be overpriced and turn away potential clients.
Losing weight the healthy way A healthy weight loss diet is the perfect solution to your health problem. You need not enroll in an expensive diet program or take any weight loss pills. A health weight loss diet involves proper nutrition, regular exercise, and consultation with your doctor. It is simple, easy, and cost-free!
First steps The first step to a healthy weight loss diet is understanding your body. Before deciding on a weight loss method, it's important to know the following: · · ·
How much and what kinds of food you eat How much physical activity you usually get Your eating habits and patterns 100% GUARANTEED WEIGHT LOSS

· ·
100% GUARANTEED WEIGHT LOSS Your physiologic and genetic make-up Your age and health status.
Approach weight loss realistically Any weight loss product that claims it can provide quick results is most probably fraudulent. If not, the results may be only temporary. And after a while, you regain your weight, or even double it! According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, a healthy weight loss diet involves reducing fat and sugars and increasing intake of vegetables, fruits and whole grains. The Guidelines also recommend engaging in physical activities to achieve long-term weight loss. Fad diets that ignore the Guidelines offer only temporary effects and can adversely affect your health. Remember, there are no short cuts to weight loss.
Some tips If you are thinking of entering a healthy weight loss diet, here are a few useful tips:
Consult your doctor. Only a doctor can help you understand your body condition and know which methods will work for you. Follow a balanced diet. A healthy weight loss diet can help you lose one or two pounds each week - not much, but who says weight loss was that easy? Include five servings of fruits and vegetables every day. Lean meat and low-fat dairy products are also a plus. Engage in some form of physical activity - you need not go to the gym or take up difficult sports. A brisk 30-minute walk everyday can do wonders for your body and your health. Use the stairs instead of taking the elevator. These little things can add up and help you lose weight. Know the benefits of moderate weight loss. A healthy rate is around 5 to 10% of your total weight.
A final note A healthy weight loss diet is the best way to go if you want to lose weight. If you are advised to take weight loss medications or weight loss programs, that doesn't mean it should replace healthy meals and exercise. Losing weight need not be stressful once you put your heart into it. Set goals for yourself and use a weight loss chart to help you monitor your weight. Once you have achieved your ideal weight, you can enjoy a world of benefits such as better breathing, better movement, and a generally better feeling about yourself.

The Truth About the Effectiveness of a Weight Loss Diet Patch Lose weight without a sweat! That is the promise of the weight loss diet patch, sold in thousands of stores both local and online. A weight loss diet patch, according to some companies, is the revolutionary weight loss product designed to help people lose weight without diet and exercise. But how effective is a weight loss diet patch?
The magic bullet A weight loss diet patch is just one of the millions of weight loss products bombarding the market, claiming to be the magic bullet in weight loss. These products boast of providing the quickest, painless, and easiest means of losing weight. They also claim to give a quick fix when it comes to weight problems.
How does it work? A weight loss diet patch works as a topical medication. It is pressed onto the skin rather than ingested, so the effects are more immediate as it doesn't have to pass through the digestive system. Once pressed onto the skin, the patch releases chemicals that either increase metabolism or suppress the appetite. The chemical content varies with each product, so be sure to check the labels before buying. Because diet watches are placed on the skin, they can be hidden from the public eye and cause very little disturbance. You can wear them to work, while shopping, or while doing household chores. Also, diet patches are said to have a 24-hour effect, so you don't have to keep changing it round the clock.
What's in it? At present, the weight loss diet patch is available in different forms. There are weight loss patches that contain Hoodia, an active ingredient that helps suppress appetite and increase lean body mass. There is also a seaweed weight loss diet patch, which claims to help boost metabolism and suppress appetite. Weight loss diet patches may contain one or more of the following:  
Fucus Vesiculosus - a natural sea plant extract mainly used for weight control 5 HTP - helps prevent carbohydrate cravings that result to binge eating. 100% GUARANTEED WEIGHT LOSS

It also helps clean the liver and flushes body wastes from the kidneys L-Carnitine - helps burn fat and convert it to energy
Does it work? There are still not enough studies to confirm the effectiveness of the weight loss diet patch. Because of the large volume being produced and sold everyday, authorities it hard to monitor each product that comes out. As a result, many fraudulent products have made it to the shelves.
Bogus patches Despite this problem, the government has tracked down and closed several retailers selling bogus weight loss patches in the market. According to reports, the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has charged the weight loss patch manufacturer Transdermal Products International Marketing Corporation and its retailer, SG Institute of Health & Education, Inc., for selling fake weight loss patches. The Chinese government has also sued the Chinese weight loss patch manufacturer of America Seven-Point Thinness. This weight loss patch is said to flush out the fat from your system once you stick it onto your skin. However, studies have shown that the patch itself contains a special oil that looks like fat, which fools users into thinking it's their own.
The best weight loss solution Most studies on the effectiveness of weight loss patches are still inconclusive. Consumers should not be easily fooled by claims or would-be client testimonials of these weight loss patches. The best way to lose weight is, and has always been, to eat less and exercise more. If you follow these two simple steps, you may not even need weight loss supplements or patches, and you can be sure the effects are long-term. Click here to Download...

Tracking the Symptoms of Rapid Weight Loss Just as obesity has become a rampant sickness that can strike anyone at any age, so does rapid weight loss. Because of the pressures of being thin mainly imposed (indirectly) by media, many Americans are coming up with different means to lose weight. Some are determined to find a short cut to losing weight, believing products and methods that claim to help people lose weight fast and painless. However, research has shown that rapid weight loss is unhealthy and even ineffective.
Weight loss: the basics Weight loss, in medical terms, is the reduction of one's total body weight. Losing weight, coupled with a balanced diet, is the effective cure to obesity. There are two kinds of weight loss: the unintentional and intentional weight loss.
Intentional weight loss Intentional weight loss is a conscious effort to lose weight. A healthy means of intentional weight loss involves a balanced diet and regular exercise. Determining a healthy weight means computing for your body mass index (BMI), or the proportion of your height and weight. Once you have cut down on your weight, maintenance is important. Several weight loss centers and clinics can help direct you in the path of healthy weight loss.
Unintentional weight loss Meanwhile, unintentional weight loss is an unconscious means of losing weight. This occurs mostly as a result of sickness or physical complications. One of the symptoms of unintentional weight loss is the rapid dropping of one's weight without any known effort to lose weight. Once you have incurred symptoms of rapid weight loss, you have to see a doctor immediately.
Has losing weight become easy for you? Have you noticed lately that you are losing weight even if you are not under any diet or exercise program? Before you start celebrating, you have to be careful. Symptoms of rapid weight loss can lead to possible complications in your body. This is unhealthy.

If you are suffering from any of the following symptoms of rapid weight loss, you have to talk to your doctor: 1.
You're not trying to lose weight.
2.
You're trying to lose weight and suddenly lose more than ten pounds.
What it means These symptoms of rapid weight loss, according to Richard L. Atkinson, M.D., associate chief of staff for research and development at the Veterans Affairs Hospital in Hampton, Virginia, can be symptoms of body complications that are worth checking. Some of the diseases that complement with the symptoms of rapid weight loss are thyroid problems, diabetes, tuberculosis, and even cancer. Mental disorders such as anorexia and bulimia are also possible answers to symptoms of rapid, unintentional, weight loss.
Hyperthyroidism One of the common culprits that lead to rapid and unintentional weight loss is hyperthyroidism. This condition results when too much thyroid hormone is in the bloodstream. Symptoms associated with this condition include anxiety, heart palpitations), sweating, rapid and unintentional weight loss, and diarrhea among others.
Treating hyperthyroidism Hyperthyroidism has a cure. It can be treated in different ways depending on why the thyroid is overactive and the age of the patient. Some of the means to treat an overactive thyroid include medications that decrease the production of thyroid hormone or by surgical removal of part of the thyroid gland.
Other relievers Apart from hyperthyroidism, other complications that result in unintended and rapid weight loss include tuberculosis, diabetes, and cancer. Each of these conditions has a cure. 1.
Treating TB - The best way to treat TB is through regular and constant medication that can last up to months.

Weight Loss Tips For the Best Way to Lose Weight Learn how teas are becoming the best weight loss supplement to losing weight and overcoming obesity. If you are looking for a natural way to burn fat, Wulong tea (also Oolong Tea) may provide the weight loss effects you are looking for. Wulong Tea may be the best way to lose weight, shedding your fat while you enjoy a great tasting tea. It can simply burn body fat. Weight loss has never been so easy, and weight management has never been so attainable. First let me give you some background information on this weight loss supplement, and then on great weight loss tips so you can lose weight fast as possible.
The Best Weight Loss Supplement! Wulong Tea is a natural calorie burner, you too, can melt fat away and benefit from this great weight loss supplement. Tea contains Theaflavin, Tea Polysaccharides and Tea Catechin, antioxidants that assist in the reduction of plaque in the arteries, in lowering cholesterol and in producing slimming effects, and caffeine, flavanols, polyphenols, vitamins and other nutrients that promote fat oxidation, which helps remove excess body fat! It is rich in iron, calcium, numerous minerals, while contains various natural properties that promotes the digestive enzymes to break down fat substances in the blood. These trace minerals and nutrients are also important to the day to day health of your body. In Japan, the Tea is widely known as the "Slimming tea", also popular as the "Looks tea". Recent studies have demonstrated that a cup of 300ml Wulong tea is equal to a fast walk for 15 minutes or up and down stairs for 10 minutes. Health-promoting compounds such as polyphenols and catechins are present in all types of tea, but hand picked wu long tea is the best source because the pickers are selecting the best leaves from the tea plant. Machine harvesting is indiscriminate and should be avoided - older leaves and twigs are harvested along with the newer leaves. I challenge you to find such a healthy, natural, effective, and safe weight loss supplement, which is why I consider it the best weight loss supplement ever. Scientific studies have established that tea is high in health-promoting polyphenols that protect us against cancer and other diseases. Wu long tea is particularly high in "polymerized polyphenols" which according to recent studies helps to increase energy expenditure. Another Japanese study found that wu long tea can suppress lipid metabolism which has the effect of suppressing fatty accumulation and body weight increases. The study concludes that long-term consumption of wu long tea is beneficial for the suppression of diet induced obesity. In 2006, new research in Michigan, at the Northwestern University Bio Med Department, scientific evidence was presented that suggests that Oolong Tea and 100% GUARANTEED WEIGHT LOSS

Puerh Tea both lower the amount of blood lipids, causing weight loss. In 2005, French doctors at a clinical trial, at the Roche Institute in Lorraine, tested the Yunnan Puerh Tea drinking effect on 500 men and women between 30 and 60 years old. Their findings strongly suggested that drinking two three cups a day can reduce body fat effectively, allowing for weight control. Asians have known about the powerful effects of this weight loss supplement for centuries and it is becoming more and more popular with people all over the world. It is also reported to work amazingly well in boosting metabolism, allowing for consistent weight management. If you have never enjoyed the great taste and slimming health benefits it is known for, you are missing an incredible opportunity. Originating in the Fujian Province of China, WuLong tea has gradually been introduced into Western culture. A daily cup of the best weight loss supplement ever will definitely assist you in weight management, to have a slimmer body with less body fat and better shape. It Helps regulate blood sugar levels for diabetics. Burns 2.5 times more calories than Green Tea, ideal for weight loss. It is also said to promote more clear, youthful looking skin. Wu long tea is not a miracle cure for weight problems. Weight loss involves eating right, eating smart, proper exercise, and a proper attitude (none of which is too difficult for anyone to do). Wulong tea however, can give you the extra boost to help in your weight loss plans, but it should be used in addition to a plan for a healthier overall well-being.
Weight Loss Tips: Tips That Will Have You Burning Fat Right Off! Nutrition: Nutrition is a very important, one key element in a healthy weight loss program is to stay away from 1) salt and high sodium foods, steer clear of 2) high fat foods, and also avoid foods that are 3) high in sugar. To shed fat you have to be burning more calories than you're eating, so for starters eat less calories. But that doesn't mean, stop eating, this won't help you lose any fat at all. When you starve your body it automatically goes into starvation mode and when you do eat it stores most of the food as fat, for fear of not eating for a long time again. Therefore you also need to eat more meals throughout the day, 5-7 at least. When choosing what to eat, follow a diet that you can seriously see yourself doing, if you need to indulge yourself every once in a while, go for it, but remember your goals and stick to them. If you can't see yourself doing it, you probably won't, take baby steps if it seems too hard to accomplish. Here is just one example of a good list of foods and diet plan. Oh yeah and never forget to drink your water, and a lot of it, a gallon a day is what I would recommend, though not necessary. Exercise: If you want to lose weight, you need to exercise, and exercise the whole body. Now that you're eating less calories, your on the right track, but you still need a way to burn those calories from your diet. Weight lifting and cardio is what you'll usually hear. Do some weight lifting, and then get on the treadmill for a half and hour. When working out to lose 100% GUARANTEED WEIGHT LOSS

weight you should be working out the whole body, even if you just want to clear up that flab in front of your abs. Its in your best interest to break up your workout days into, 1) upper body and 2) lower body. Also you'll want to do more compound moves (works more than one muscle) for example, the bench press and dead lifts. Rather than Isolation movements (works one muscle) for example triceps extensions. Isolation workouts are good, but make sure you have as many compound exercises in your workout as possible. Then you have your cardio, for cardio you want to run High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) Interested in a secret weight loss tip? If you're like most people, including myself, you despise cardio, so what if I told you, you didn't have to do it, and skip your two hour workout while your at it. Instead do complexes. Complexes are amazing, get the same results from your workout and cardio in only 30 minutes! You're welcome.
Attitude: Attitude - all important. I don't think I can give you any better tips than to stay positive and don't quit until you reach your goal. Keep a positive attitude and you will reach your goals. Don't ever give up, if something isn't working for you, then try something else, don't say its impossible. And don't make things seem so hard, feeling healthy is fun. Eating right and exercising will make you feel amazing. Keep a positive attitude, even if your progress seem to plateau. Staying positive and knowing you will reach your goals and knowing you won't quit until you do will ensure that you do reach your goals. Click here to Download...

Eight Great Weight Loss Tips Here are some great, weight loss tips to help you reach your fitness and body composition goals. Why eight weight loss tips and not ten...or even fifty weight loss tips? I want to keep it simple so that there is an increased chance they might be followed. All the weight loss tips in the world won't do a bit of good if nobody can remember to follow them. You don't even have to follow all of these tips. For starters just pick one and when that becomes a habit, try the next weight loss tip that strikes your fancy. The most important weight loss idea has to do with the Law of Thermodynamics. This law means that in order to lose weight, you need to spend more energy than you take in. In order to gain weight you need to take more energy in than you put out. So, losing weight is simple; eat less food while moving more often! The weight loss tips below are just ways to take advantage and make more efficient use of this unavoidable law of nature. Weight loss tip #1: Don't go On a Diet! Yep, I said it, don't go on a diet. Most people can't stick to a diet for a long period of time. They get discouraged and quit. You need to make healthy changes to last a lifetime, not look for the next fad quick-fix. Does this mean diets and diet books are bad? Certainly not, you may be in the minority who find one that works for you. If not, you still can learn something about nutrition that you can apply to your eating habits. Make small changes to your nutritional habits and over time you will reach your goals and be able to maintain them. Weight loss tip #2: Make 1 small healthy change that you can live with today! For me, that was cutting out sugary sodas and other sugary drinks. A typical regular can of soda has about 140-170 calories. Two of those per day equals 280-340 calories a day, or about ž lb weight loss per week if you were maintaining your weight before that change (see weight loss tip #6). What do you drink instead? Cold water!!! Not only is water healthy, one once of cold water will burn one calorie when your body heats is up. So, drinking the recommended 64-96 oz. of water per day could equal up to 96 extra calories burned (depending on how much cold water you drank before). It doesn't have to be sugary drinks. It could be cutting out desserts, or limiting them to once or twice a week from every day. Try replacing one un-healthy snack per day with a healthier one. You pick one that you can stick to (but start drinking more water anyway). Weight loss tip #3: Eat breakfast! There's a reason for the clichÊ about breakfast being the most important meal of the day. That's because after fasting all night, your metabolism is at its lowest point in the morning. You need to stoke the metabolic fires with a good breakfast that contains both carbohydrates and protein. If you don't, your body will think it is being starved and will want to store any excess calories from the first thing you do eat (say at 100% GUARANTEED WEIGHT LOSS
57
100% GUARANTEED WEIGHT LOSS
lunch) as fat to hedge against long periods with no energy intake. Breakfast first thing keeps this from happening and gives you energy to start the day. Weight loss tip #4: Eat 4-6 smaller meals per day instead of 2-3 big ones. The easy way to do this is by having breakfast, mid-morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack, and then dinner. There, that's 5, good enough. A piece of fruit makes a great snack. By spreading your energy intake out in smaller, more frequent increments, it will increase your metabolism (you will burn more calories) because your body never thinks it is starving. Weight loss tip #5: Reduce stress. Stress causes our body to release cortisol which is a hormone that helps us deal physiologically with stress. Simply put, the adaptations our body does in response to stress are contrary to weight loss. The release of cortisol promotes fat storage and suppresses the manufacture of other hormones that promote building of lean muscle mass. Try yoga, try meditation, try a hobby or punching a heavy bag. Just do what works for you to lower stress. Weight loss tip #6: Determine how many calories you need to maintain your current weight, and how many you need to reduce per day to meet your weight loss goals. Step 1: Determine your basal metabolic rate. This is how many calories your body burns just to maintain minimal life-support functions and is about 75% of all the calories you burn. The formula is simply your body weight ____ X 10= basal metabolic rate. Now, to determine how many calories you need each day to maintain your current weight, multiply the base metabolic rate by a "lifestyle factor" based on how active you are. A note on the formula: it is just a rough estimate, females will need a few less calories (perhaps 200) than this formula indicates. Males might need 100 more. As you age, you will require fewer calories as well to maintain weight. So, use the formula to get you started, then adjust your daily caloric needs based on your results (this is where a nutrition log is important, see weight loss tip #7). For sedentary people (office workers, people who mostly sit or drive all day) use 1.4. For moderately active people (people on their feet all day like wait staff, service industry, moderate exercise) use 1.6. For very active people (jobs with lots of physical labor, movers etc., athletes) use 1.8. If you think you are in between two of the examples, then you can split the difference. Let's plug some numbers in: Weight 195 pounds, office worker. 195X10 = 1950 calorie basal metabolic rate. 1950 X 1.4 = 2730. This is roughly how many calories they need to consume to stay at 195 pounds. It's not an exact science, but should be very close and is a great starting point. Now you can set your weight loss goals based on how many pounds you want to lose and in what time-frame. The maximum sustainable healthy weight loss level is about 2 pounds per 100% GUARANTEED WEIGHT LOSS

week. In order to lose 2 pounds per week, you need to decrease your energy intake, and/or increase your energy output, by 1000 calories per day. A 500 calorie per day reduction will result in a loss of approximately one pound per week. So, losing 40 pounds will take 20 weeks, or about 5 months at 2lbs per week. If you decrease your daily intake by 500 calories per day as well as increase your energy expenditure by an average of 500 calories per day. From our example above, to lose 2 lbs per week, they would either need to eat 1730 calories per day (2730-1000) or 2230 calories with about 500 calories worth of exercise averaged out over each day. Weight loss tip #7: Keep a food log. Write down everything you eat for 3 days (every single calorie!) then total up the calories and divide by 3 to get an average. Now that you know how many calories you are taking in, you can plan out how many you need to reduce per day in order to reach your goals. Weight loss tip #8: Move more! This doesn't mean you have to start some grueling exercise program. In the beginning, just look for ways to move a little more than normal. Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Walk to the store down the street, or the park instead of driving. When you do start an exercise program, start slow and easy. No more than 3 days per week in the beginning. Twenty minutes of walking 3 times per week is a great start. Or, 3 shorts workouts at the gym or at home per week. This will start to increase your caloric expenditure so you don't have to cut quite so many calories out of your diet and still lose weight. Like diets, most people overdo it when starting an exercise program, then burn out and quit. It's OK to miss a few workouts, or even have a rough week and not workout at all. No reason to quit in frustration, just start up again next week. That's all the weight loss tips I have for ya...just remember that slow and steady wins the race. You didn't get overweight in a short period of time...it will take some time to lose the weight as well. Make one change at a time, add to it when the previous change becomes part of your lifestyle. Stop making changes when you are happy with your results, your health and lifestyle. The good news is you can start making some small changes today that will last a lifetime and have you feeling better, being healthier and living longer. Click here to Download...

Weight Loss Motivation Rules Successful weight loss Rules for Weight loss motivation. As with any plan there are always rules. Weight loss is no different; after all it is a battle, a battle of mind over body and every battle has rules. Below is what I consider to be the golden rules of weight loss. These are, in order,
You are responsible for yourself and actions There are downsides as well as ups, take the rough with the smooth Pick the weight loss routine suitable for you Take the routine seriously And follow through to the end
You are responsible for yourself and actions Remember, a diet is a selfish action; it is for one person and one person only. A diet should be undertaken for your own needs and desires, not others, for this reason alone it is your very person that is responsible for its success or failure. Pressure is applied more often than not by others and surroundings, but you will have to be strong.
There will be up's and down's So, going with the theory that most people will take some time to realize the truth of the magic rules, the first thing that you need to do then to begin your weight loss regime, is to realize that it is not going to be an easy road to walk or run down. There will be many tempting goodies like: cream cakes, full fat coffees, cream cheese bagels, the ever popular Burger chains and so on and so forth, littering your path. It is up to you to resist and not give in to these temptations. I kid you not! It will not be easy so I will not even pretend that we can pass these by without being tempted one or two times and indeed giving into temptation. That would be delusion on a grand scale, and since we are for the moment at least, all about self-honesty, let's acknowledge the fact that we will fall off the wagon, most do. But as I said earlier, what matters is not that you fell off the wagon in the first place, but what you do with yourself afterwards. Get up, dust off those cookie crumbs and get right back on the weight loss wagon. You can do it.

100% GUARANTEED WEIGHT LOSS
And this is really what you need to realize so early on, the fact that you will fall off the weight loss wagon, and the fact that your road will be literally paved with tempting morsel after tempting morsel. Once you can realize and acknowledge this fact for yourself, you will find that you are better armed to deal with these. You will also find that being prepared for these little wayside problems, makes it easier for you to tackle them head on, and in many cases, makes it easier for you to turn a blind eye to temptation (most of the time).
Pick a Weight loss Routine Best For You You have decided that you want to lose weight and you are going about trying to find a way to make this a reality. Now you need to take a few minutes away from your busy schedule to deicide exactly what measures you can implement in your lifestyle to make it easier for you to lose weight, and also decide how much time you are willing to devote to doing this. This might be more difficult for you than you think, but the thing is for it not to become daunting at this first hurdle. If you have only a very minimal time frame on your hands to devote to your goal of losing weight, there is no need to despair. Since you have already begun the crucial process, you only need to follow through with it and implement a plan that will enable you to do so despite your busy schedule. Take things one at a time and don't try to do everything at once. With a limited amount of time on your hands first concentrate on one aspect of your weight loss plan. If you want to implement an exercise regime, then do so. Leave the diet plans for a later date when you are better able to deal with it, or when your exercise routine has become a set part of your life. This way, you will be able to gradually incorporate your entire weight loss plan into your life, without having to leave anything out, or without having to feel beleaguered. The key factor when going through with this golden rule is that you need to find the right balance of diet and/ or exercise for you, the one plan that will fit seamlessly into your lifestyle habits without taking you too out of your way.

Take the Routine Seriously If you went through the earlier golden rule, you know that in choosing the best weight loss plan for you, you need to choose one that fits into your lifestyle. The reason you are doing this, is to make this particular golden rule - the one about following through on your weight loss plan - a reality instead of a wish. Many people, myself included, find it easiest to start something; it is the follow through that we find difficult, and because of this, we find it easy to let go of our ideas and plans when the going gets tough. By choosing a weight loss plan that fits naturally into your lifestyle to begin with, you are making it that much easier for you to stay the course and to follow through on your weight loss plans. If you look at it reasonably you will see that what I am saying makes sense. Think about it. If you have great ideas on how to lose weight and put them into action, you can be assured that for the first few days and weeks at least that you will go through with them. But what happens when you have to break through your routine to attend to something else? Since life can never be planned out down to a T, you can be assured of getting these interruptions, and frequently, if you lead a busy life. Well, to begin with, you would try and keep as close to your plans as possible, but there may be one or two days when you need to abandon them altogether to accommodate outside influences. When this happens, which weight loss plan do you think you are most likely to follow through on, once you get back to your normal routine? The one which is great, but which takes you out of your normal routine and which requires you to push and prod yourself to get back into it? Or the one which is maybe not as great as your original grand plan, but which runs more or less parallel to your normal routine, and which you can fall into more easily because it doesn't require you to go out of your way? I know which one I would chose, but this is because I know myself. I know that if I had to go out of my way over and over again, if I had to push and prod myself to get into my weight loss routine every time life threw a curveball at me that I would not follow through with it.

In fact, my life to date is littered with many of these grand weight loss plans and schemes, and for myself at least, I can attest that none of these worked the wonders that they should have. The plans were sound; it was the execution of them that left a lot to be desired!
It took a little bit more of down-to-earth thinking, and my realization of the golden rules for me to lose weight successfully and keep it off. What you need to take away from this section, is the knowledge that sometimes life will throw a spanner in the works. You will find your weight loss plans going for a six, but that doesn't mean that you should quit. Whether you have a "great" weight loss plan, or whether you have a not-so-great weight loss plan in the works, you need to follow through on your original plans and ideas and not give up. It is at this point in your weight loss plans that it's going to be all too easy to give up and go back to your old ways. Don't. If you think you might have trouble on the follow through, be prepared for this eventuality and plan for it accordingly. And follow it through the end The thing that will help you to lose weight, and will also help you to keep the weight off, is if you follow the plan through to the very end with your decision to lose weight. In other words if you have set yourself a target weight, then stick to it. Follow through to the end, and don't give up. If you have been reading through the earlier sections, or if you have gone down this route before, then you know how much easier it is to start yourself on a weight loss regime than it is to continue on with it. And you will also probably know how much easier it is to follow through on such a course if you give yourself a little nudge, than it is to see it through to completion. Many of us, even if we do manage to successfully drag ourselves through our weight loss routine day after day, will find that it is harder to stay on track as time goes by and your goal comes ever closer. In my case most of the time, even when I followed through to nearly the end, I found myself losing the will to continue.

This was mainly due to the fact that I was not as committed in the beginning as I could have been which in turn meant that I was only staying the course because I was forcing myself to do so, and not because I really wanted to. And this meant that when the going got tough, I got going - in the opposite direction most times!
Since it was difficult enough to stay the course when things were happening normally in my life, it was near on impossible to stay the course when things went even slightly out of sync. The end result? I would always, always find some way, some little loophole to exploit which would necessitate my going off my weight loss regime. So to see you through to your weight loss target, you need to follow through, and make a conscious decision that you will see it through to the end. But you also need to have that commitment to yourself and to your goal that you will see it through to the end. Click here to Download...

1. Fat Loss 4 Idiots Fat Loss 4 Idiots is a diet program designed using the calorie shifting method and has gained huge popularity with people who has tried a lot of diets for quick weight loss without results, the reason being - it works!

Cons: Eating until you are satisfied at each meal can be difficult - you must take care not to overindulge This is basically a low-carb diet which can effect energy levels Some of the meals are a little bland
2. The South Beach Diet The second of our diets for quick weight loss is the south beach diet. This diet was created by a leading US cardiologist rather by accident. He prescribed the diet to his patients in order to improve their condition but soon found that it resulted in a significant reduction in weight. The south beach diet is fairly unique in that it is broken down into phases. The first phase lasts 2 weeks and is centered around eating very few carbohydrates, this 2 week period is designed to help resolve insulin resistance and often results in weight loss of as much as 13 lbs. Phase two allows for some low glycemic carbs to be re-introduced; foods such as fresh fruits and vegetables and whole-grain bread. This phase lasts as long as it takes an individual to reach their target weight, 1-2lbs per week weight loss can be expected. The final phase is the lifestyle phase and should be followed forever. A wider range of food can be eaten during this phase.
Pros: Simple to follow Low in saturated fat
Cons: Like with Fat Loss 4 Idiots there is no limit to portion size with the focus of eating till full this can be difficult to judge Seriously lacking in vitamins, minerals and fiber Heavy emphasis of dairy products - for those unable to eat them there is a lack of options

Therefore you might intake a lot of calories, but your stomach will still feel hungry.
II) Lose Weight With Foods Containing High Amount of Fiber Since fiber improves large intestine function and keeps the muscles of the large intestine strong, it speeds up the transit time of food and increases the size of stool (fecal bulk), thereby helping prevent constipation and hemorrhoids.

If you have a healthy diet plan that contains a lot of fruits, vegetables, less meat and dairy foods andare low in saturated and trans fat, it will help you to lose weight and keep it off longer.

Be sure to talk to your doctor before you would like to start any weight loss program. Here are some common sense approaches that might help you to lose weight:

2. Follow the BMI index According to the National Institution of Health, the definition of healthy weight is a BMI of 24 or less. Men and Women with a BMI of 25-30 are considered to be overweight. BMI is reliable for people from 19-70 years of age. Study reveals that for people over 64 years of age, the risk of dying from heart disease does not go up with a BMI between 25-27. A BMI over 28 seems to increase risk of heart disease.

If you calculate the calories which you burn from all the trips that you take such as mall shopping, grocery shopping, working, picking up the kid from school, you will be surprised. Each mile will burn somewhere around 125 calories.
6. Moderate intake of alcohol Moderate drinking of alcohol beverages containing no fat, no cholesterol, and very little sodium and is often associated with weight loss in women. Moderate consumption of alcohol is associated with better health and longer life. Drinking a cup of red wine for women and two cups for men daily will help increase blood circulation and decrease risk of heart attack.

Here are some meals that I found very different than our diet: 1. Savor souvlaki Also known as shish kebob, it contains a large amount of vegetables and a small amount of meat. This is a meal with an average of about 300 calories and only 10 grams of fat with 1/5 of fat being saturated.
2. Pita Bread sandwich Pita bread sandwich includes hefty raw vegetable, some meat, feta cheese and cucumber sauce. It contains roughly 800 calories with 45 grams of total fat and half of that are saturated. Unfortunately, under the influence of western diet, some of the meals that we found is no longer really Greek foods. They are high in meat and saturated fat, therefore please do not assume that all Greek restaurant are original Mediterranean diet. Here are 2 recipes of original Mediterranean diet that not only helps you to lose weight but also reduces your high blood pressure and bad cholesterol level in result of lowering risk of heart diseases and strokes.
1.Sauce of yoghurt with dill ( Sources from Ellaia) * Sauce of yoghurt with dill * 300 gm. yoghurt with low water content * 1 spoonful dry dill * 1 clove garlic, salt, pepper * 2 spoonfuls olive oil ELLAIA * 1 spoonful lemon juice. * We pulp the garlic in a mortar with little salt.

We put it in a basin and throw on the onion in big particles, salt, pepper, the cinnamon, cloves, the nutmeg and the juice of lemon. We leave the meat to be marinated for 2-3 hours and meanwhile we wet the plums in water in order to absorb water and also the almonds in order to be peeled easily. We put the olive oil in a saucepan and sautĂŠ the meat. We douse with the marinade liquid, we add 1-2 glasses hot water and we boil the meat in low temperature, until it gets soft. We put inside also the plums, the almonds and the honey or the sugar and we leave them to boil for a few minutes. Finally we will provide you with a Mediterranean diet food list. It contains cheese, eggs, fish and sea food, fruits, grains, legumes, nuts, olive oil, red wine, vegetables and yogurt. On the top of the pyramid contains meat, poultry and on the lower broader base, there are dairy products, oils, fruits and vegetables.
VII. How to Lose Weight With Fiber Fiber is the portion of plant material that humans are not able to digest. There are two kinds of dietary fiber, soluble and insoluble. Both are important for proper bowel function. Soluble fiber dissolves in water, forming a gel in the intestines. Insoluble fiber passes through the digestive system almost intact, adding bulk to the stool and acting as a sponge to absorb water. If you have gone through all kinds of diet plans or programs such as diet pills and supplements, and despite all your efforts you can't seem to lose weight, then you might be not eating enough fiber. Study shows that people eat as much as 60% of fiber everyday, 85% are in ideal weight. In the US they only average about 15% of fiber being consumed per person, this may be the the cause of obesity of 60% of adults.

The Top 10 Weight Loss Secrets For many, weight loss seems like a difficult thing. Maybe you've tried things in the past...diets, workouts, pills, creams, ANYTHING to help get the weight off, but it seems like no matter how hard you try, it either doesn't come off at all, or it comes right back on.
Why do you think that is? I believe that successful weight loss is based on a combination of sound nutrition principles, and regular exercise. Sounds easy, right? But here's the catch...THIS IS JUST THE BASIC OUTLINE FOR SUCCESSFUL WEIGHT LOSS. So what are the underlying reasons? Why does it seem like some people just eat whatever they want and stay skinny as a rail, and for some people, no matter what they try, or how hard they try it, just can't seem to get results? I've created a list for you containing principles, that if taken to heart, and APPLIED to your life, will produce tremendous results. Listed here are the KEYS to losing weight, and keeping it off for good. Now remember...I can provide the knowledge, but it is up to YOU to take the action. In the words of Emmerson, "Good thoughts are no better than good dreams, unless they be executed." In other words, it's not enough to simply know these weight loss secrets, you have to APPLY them to your life. I can not stress the importance of this one seemingly simple step. Rest assured, no one is going to do this for you. You got yourself to where you are now, and it is YOU who has the power to turn it around, and get yourself to where, and to who, you want to be. But the AMAZING, TREMENDOUS thing about all of this is that YOU DO HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE. I'll say that again...YOU DO HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE! Know this, understand this, and live this, and I GUARANTEE your success in weight loss, or any other venture you choose to pursue in life.
1. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOURSELF It appears as though many people want to shift blame for their current situation to anyone, or anything but themselves. Whether it's finances, relationships, work, family, or health related, as humans we sometimes have a tendency to create external reasons for our problems. If you ever find yourself saying, "If only so and so had done this differently, I could have..." or, " If only I had this, I could..." or anything like this, I suggest you stop and take a good look at the real reason why you don't have exactly what you want in your life. Is it because of other people and circumstances, or is the real reason because of a lack of action, or purpose on your part? 100% GUARANTEED WEIGHT LOSS
83
100% GUARANTEED WEIGHT LOSS
Now, I realize this can be a difficult thing to do, and I don't mean to imply that everything in every person's life is the result of a lack of action. I understand circumstances like the death of a loved one, or being diagnosed with a terminal illness can be devastating events in a person's life, and can be entirely unrelated to a lack of action. What I am suggesting, however, is that you have the ability to respond to every situation in your life, and make the best of it. I'm saying YOU HAVE THE POWER TO CHOOSE how you interpret events, and circumstances in your life. If you choose to be a victim, then that's exactly what you'll be. If you choose to blame other people, or reasons for your inability to lose weight, then you are NOT taking responsibility for yourself or your life, and I guarantee you WILL NOT LOSE WEIGHT! If you've ever found yourself saying..."I just don't have the time to exercise...I don't like healthy foods...No matter what I try I can't lose weight...It's just in my genes to be heavy," or anything like this, then just STOP! I've got news for you, my friends. You have the time, you just don't choose to make it. You may like healthy foods, you just choose not to try, because you like the taste of unhealthy ones. You haven't tried everything to lose weight, and if you chose a sensible plan, and STUCK to it, you could, and would lose weight. And no matter what your parents, brother, sister, aunt or uncle's waist line looks like, I GUARANTEE you have the power to make your waist line look exactly the way you want it to. Step 1 is to stop making excuses, and start taking responsibility for your current physical state, and realize that you created this situation, but more importantly YOU HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE, TO CREATE A NEW SITUATION, AND THE LIFE AND BODY YOU WANT!!!
2. FIND OUT WHY? This is one of THE MOST IMPORTANT STEPS in losing weight and keeping it off....the big WHY. Why do you eat? I don't mean to offend anyone, but I'm going to assume that if you're overweight, you don't only eat because you're hungry, but for a variety of other reasons as well. A lot of people eat because they're bored, or tired, or they are just used to eating when they arrive home from work, or when they watch TV at night, or when they go out with friends, and the list goes on and on. For many people, eating is a deeply emotional, and psychological issue. People deal with painful experiences in their past or present, and with insecurities in their lives by eating. Food as comfort. This is one of the most destructive patterns a person can have, and it goes in direct opposition to weight loss success. 100% GUARANTEED WEIGHT LOSS
84
100% GUARANTEED WEIGHT LOSS
I am not suggesting to know the specific reason why you eat, but I invite you, as painful as it may be, to really spend some time with yourself, and identify why it is that you eat, what times of day you eat, what emotions you experience when you eat, and what emotions you experience when you overeat. By doing so you will unlock a door that many people never even get close to. I can not stress the importance of this step. Until you determine WHY you eat, you will not be able to fix the problem. So, step 1 is taking responsibility, realizing you have the power to change, and step 2 is understanding why you eat.
3. THERE ARE MANY PATHS...THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY As you probably know, there is a TON of information available regarding diets, proper nutrition, weight loss, strength training, and anything else you could ever desire to know about health and fitness. Some claim low carbs...some no carbs...some say only the right kinds of carbs...some say meat only...some say fruit and veggies only, some say no dairy, and some say no FOOD! So how do you know which diet and exercise program is the one for you? How do you know which path to choose? The answer is to educate yourself. All of these diets, to varying degrees, will produce some kind of success...the key for you as a health conscious consumer, concerned about your own specific body and its specific needs, is to find out why each of these diets work. What is the effect of "good" carbs on the body? What is the effect of "bad" carbs? What happens, on a physiological level, if you eat no carbs, or only carbs...I want you to understand the importance of finding out WHY. The truth is, that there is a TON of information available, and there are a TON of different ways to produce the results you want, and to lose as much weight as you want. The key is to really understand why a diet or exercise routine works. And perhaps even more important is to choose a program that works for YOU. One which you feel fits your nutritional requirements based on your individual food preferences, and one which will support the exercise regimen you decide to follow. So remember, step 1 is to take responsibility for yourself, step 2 is to understand why you eat, and step 3 is to realize there is no one single food, or exercise combination that will produce results. MANY different things have the potential to help you reach your goals. The key is to understand WHY it works, and then CHOOSE the one that is right for you.

4. DIET Your diet, the food you choose to eat, is a crucial step on your road to weight loss success. As I stated earlier, I believe weight loss success is achieved through a combination of sound nutritional principles and regular exercise. However, it seems as though much of the information available points toward an exact combination of foods, or the elimination of others, in order to successfully lose weight. I am here to tell you, this is not the case. You will be thin if you eat fewer calories than you expend. Plain and simple. But if you do not take to heart and APPLY the principles listed above, no matter which "diet" you choose, ultimately weight loss success will not be yours. So, how do you know which diet to choose? The answer is as simple as understanding what your goal is, and how you intend to arrive there. Do you want to lose weight? Are you going to do a lot of aerobic exercise? Are you going to do a lot of anaerobic exercise? How often do you plan on exercising? How active are you in your daily life outside of exercise? Once you have arrived at answers to these questions, you can begin to determine the nutritional requirements for you, your body, and your tastes. Based on your activity levels and your goals, you should eat the appropriate amount of carbohydrates, fats, and protein to supply your body with sufficient nutrients. The key is to choose the healthiest foods possible that fit your tastes, and that meet your requirements. Diets are not one size fits all. Your body's main source of energy is carbohydrates, which come in two forms; simple and complex. Complex are starches from grains and vegetables. Examples of simple are sucrose, lactose, fructose, and glucose. No matter which type of carbohydrate you ingest, it ALL gets converted to glucose, commonly referred to as blood sugar. The only difference then, between the simple and the complex carbohydrates, is the rate at which your body digests them. How much, at what times, and which type of carbohydrate you consume should be based on your tastes, your activity levels, and your goals. Protein is another essential component of a healthy diet. Protein does far more for the body than build muscle. Proteins in the body in the form of enzymes, perform numerous functions, including keeping your brain, heart, and digestive system functioning properly. Protein is made from 20 different amino acids, 9 of which are considered "essential" amino acids. Essential because your body does not have the ability to manufacture these 9, it must obtain them from your diet. If you eat animal based foods, chances are you have nothing to worry about. However if you eat a vegetarian diet, then you must make it a point to eat the right combination of foods containing plant proteins which will supply your body with the 9 essential amino acids. So how much protein do you need? Again, as with carbohydrates, the amount you need depends largely upon your goals, and your activity levels. Fats are often misunderstood. People shy away from high fat foods, consistently looking for "low" or "non-fat" foods, when if weight loss is the concern, people should be far more 100% GUARANTEED WEIGHT LOSS

concerned about the calories, and the ingredients in their food, and not just the amount of fat that it has. Fat has a tendency to make people "fat" because it is so calorie dense. One gram of fat has 9 calories, whereas a gram of carbohydrates, or protein has only 4. There are different types of fat, some of which are healthy for the body, and some which are not. We need, on average, 15-25 grams of fat a day to provide our body with proper nutrition, and to ensure we have enough fatty acids to absorb the fat soluble vitamins. Your body can manufacture saturated, and monounsaturated fat from other foods that you eat, however it can not manufacture the fatty acids, or the omega-6 and omega-3. You must obtain these directly from foods which contain them. These fatty acids are built into the tissues of your heart, brain, and other vital organs, and must be replenished through your diet. Adequate consumption of vitamins and minerals also plays an important role in healthy nutrition. The bottom line is that there is no one food you should be having, and no one food you shouldn't be having to attain weight loss success. The answer lies in understanding your body's requirements, and in fulfilling them with healthy, whole foods consumed in moderation. Once you determine what food is right for you, MAKE A PLAN AND STICK TO IT!!! Don't try it for a week then go to something else. KNOWLEDGE, PLANNING, and CONSISTENCY are the keys to a successful diet strategy.
5. EXERCISE Exercise is such an important tool in not only losing weight, but in keeping it off. This is because exercise is an essential component of a healthy lifestyle. Regular exercise will help you look and feel better. It will increase your energy, motivation, strength, confidence and self image. Besides helping you look and feel great, regular exercise lowers your risk for developing a number of different diseases, health conditions, and cancers. It can improve the quality of your life. Humans were meant to move! We have intricately designed skeletal, muscular, respiratory and cardiovascular systems which provide us with enormous potential. Our bodies, like our minds, are capable of tremendous things. Humans have been able to climb 30,000 feet to the top of mount Everest. They compete in marathons, triathlons, and sporting events which draw the attention of millions of people around the world. Every body is capable of great things. Every person has enormous potential. I'm not saying you need to climb a mountain, or compete in a race, but I am telling you that if you want to, YOU CAN DO IT. And exercise is the key. As far as weight loss is concerned, the type of exercise is not as important as the amount. You just need to get out and move. Run. Walk. Swim. Bike. Skip. Jump rope. Lift weights. JUST GET MOVING! 100% GUARANTEED WEIGHT LOSS

Exercise will accelerate weight loss, and it will help give you the body you want. You can lose weight through applying the above principles to your life, but you can only get a strong, toned, healthy body through regular exercise, and specifically through strength training. You can't ignore, or skip this. If you want to lose weight and be healthy, and you're serious about it, then get serious about starting an exercise program...TODAY!
6. COMMITMENT In order to achieve weight loss success, you must commit to your program. After deciding on your specific requirements and choosing a diet and exercise regime, you must COMMIT to your program, and you must commit 100%. Know that if you've taken the previous steps, then your success is guaranteed if you commit to the program. If you lose 1lb in a week, you have proven to yourself that YOU HAVE THE ABILITY to lose weight. You have chosen a path that works, and hopefully it's one you can maintain as away of life, and one that meets your specific needs. Your ability to lose 1lb in a week, transfers into 52lbs in a year, and 104 lbs in two years, and so on and so on. No matter how much weight you have to lose, YOU CAN DO IT! But you must first commit to the program. You must say to yourself, that no matter what, you will follow through on your commitment, and follow the path you have chosen, until you reach your goal. Commit to your program!
7. CONSISTENCY This is perhaps the single most important thing any person can do to achieve weight loss success. CONSISTENCY, CONSISTENY, CONSISTENCY! Have you ever asked someone about the top three most important things for business success, and heard them say "location, location, and location!" Well, for weight loss success it's "consistency, consistency, and consistency!" It's not enough to take responsibility, and to find our why, and to choose a plan of attack, you must be consistent. People who are unsuccessful at losing weight try several different things over the course of the year, always looking for the "right" or "best" or "fastest" way to lose the weight, and always changing their plan of attack. People who are thin and healthy consistently do the same thing, and follow the same plan day in and day out for years. This point is SO important. It's small changes in the wrong direction...an accumulation of bad habits over the years that lead to weight gain for most people. You don't just wake up one day over weight, and you won't just wake up one day and have the body you want. But the good news is, the process CAN be reversed in the exact same way it was created.

making small changes in your life, in the right direction...by accumulating good habits, and practicing them every day, you WILL make progress every day. The important thing here is not to get discouraged...to be consistent with your plan. This means if you go out to eat one night, and have WAY too many calories, cocktails, or whatever, DO NOT ADJUST FOR IT THE NEXT DAY. Yesterday is gone, and what you need to do is just resume your normal, daily routine, get back on the path you have chosen. By altering your path further, and making more changes to eat less, or exercise more the day after you eat too much or miss a workout, you will be falling even further from the path of consistency. When fit, healthy people over indulge one day, they simply resume their normal way of eating the next day. They don't punish, or starve themselves. Everything returns to normal. Consistency is the rule. Are you beginning to see what I'm talking about? It's so important to choose a path, but even more important to STAY ON IT! Remember, it's the accumulation of good and healthy habits that produce weight loss success, and the only way to accumulate is to BE CONSISTENT!
8. ACCOUNTABILITY Accountability provides you with additional support on your journey toward a healthier you. This is where the help of a family member, or a professional, can encourage you, and help keep you motivated when you begin to have doubts. Being held accountable to a program through another person is ESSENTIAL to your success. Until you develop proper eating habits, and until you develop new ways of thinking about yourself, food, and exercise, having another person to guide and assist you along the way can make all the difference between success, and failure. Find someone,...a coach, trainer, friend or family member who is committed to you, and your success. After you have taken responsibility for yourself, determined why you eat, chosen a path, determined what your nutritional requirements are, and devised a plan for both your eating and your exercise, find a person who will keep you accountable to the plan. It's A LOT harder to skip a workout, cheat on your diet, or to lose consistency if there is someone waiting for you to show up and work out. The right person to keep you accountable depends on you. Just make sure it's someone you trust, someone with proper knowledge about you and your goals, and someone who will provide you with the right balance of encouragement, support, and discipline you need to achieve your goals.
9. TIME This is an important part of the weight loss process, and one which is often diminished, or left out of conventional weight loss methodology. I am here to set the record straight for 100% GUARANTEED WEIGHT LOSS

you. This will not happen over night. This did not happen all at once, and it won't "unhappen" all at once either. I am sorry to break this to you, but I'm sure if you've tried things in the past, unsuccessfully, to lose weight, you probably are beginning to understand this...THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A QUICK FIX. Programs, or people who try to sell you, or tell you otherwise are out for your money, not your success.
If this is not what you want to hear, I am sorry. If you don't believe me, that's OK too. But how many times have you tried, how many different "fast" ways to take weight off have you tried, that haven't worked? This is because it's a process. It's a lifestyle change. Not a quick change in your diet, or the sudden elimination of a single food, or the adoption of a magic one. It's about LEARNING how to eat. How to think about food properly, and how to incorporate healthy foods and diets into your life, for your goals, and how to do it in a manner that you can maintain over time. Healthy, sustainable weight loss occurs at a rate of anywhere between 1-2 lbs a week. That's right. Probably not what you wanted to hear. BUT THAT'S THE TRUTH. A pound may not seem like much. BUT the AMAZING thing about this is if you keep it up for a year, BE CONSISTENT in the path you've chosen for one year, and that 1lb turns into 52lbs. 104lbs in two years. See what I'm getting at here? Accept that it takes time. You will not see success overnight, but do not let that discourage you. That 1lb you lost, if you have applied the above principles, is GONE FOREVER. Don't be discouraged...BE EXCTATIC at your 1lb loss! If you can lose 1lb in a week, then you have just proved to yourself that YOU HAVE THE POWER to lose ANY AMOUNT OF WEIGHT YOU WANT! Realize this. Understand this. Know this. BELIEVE THIS! Be consistent, accept time, keep your eye on the prize, and YOU WILL LOSE THE WEIGHT!
10. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF If you've taken the previous 9 principles to heart, then the final thing you need in order to successfully achieve your weight loss goal is to BELIEVE that you can do it. This can be difficult, especially if you've tried things in the past, perhaps several times, and seen no results or seen the weight come back on.

Looking For New Weight Loss Tips? The problem with a quick, easy solution to losing weight is that it usually leads to quick, easy weight gain shortly thereafter. There are hundreds of weight loss tips out there, and you may be tired of hearing the same advice repeated over and over. The truth is, there are no new weight loss tips. The same honest truth of yesterday is the truth today. Losing weight requires that you change your eating habits, exercise more, and live a generally healthy lifestyle. A particular weight loss program can help you lose the initial pounds you need to shed, and give you advice on how to keep them off, but the rest is up to you. Going straight back to your old habits is not going to help you stay in shape, or stay healthy. Before you choose a weight loss program, let's go through those tips one more time. This time, put them into practice - lose the weight, and keep it off.
1. Lose weight for the right reasons Before you even look at a diet plan or exercise schedule, look at why you want to lose weight. If you want to improve your health, look and feel better - great! If you want to be able to play with your kids more, that's super. Trying to get your ex back, look better than the next door neighbour, or because your partner says you should - not so good. The best motivation to lose weight is to do it for yourself - nobody else. Health reasons should be foremost, because being overweight can cause health issues that will be with you for the rest of your life.
2. Choose a weight loss program carefully You must be realistic when you choose how you are going to go about losing weight. Your lifestyle may not suit every type of program or diet, and choosing one that you cannot adjust to or cope with is setting yourself up for failure. Look at your current eating habits, level of physical activity, work schedule, family and social life. Think realistically about how much change each of those areas can withstand. For example, if you do no exercise at all, you're going to struggle with a weight loss program that requires intense exercise from the get-go. If you eat out regularly, you'll need a diet that allows you a wider choice of food types to accommodate that. Counting calories can be time consuming, so if you have a busy schedule, you may want a diet that either lays it all out for you, or gives you more flexibility. Try not to be sucked in by the promise of losing a certain number of pounds in a specific time period - everyone loses weight at a different rate, and the only way to guarantee you will lose any weight is by following instructions to the letter.

3. Set realistic goals This cannot be repeated enough. Setting goals that are nigh impossible to reach just sets you up for failure, disappointment and misery. Break your goal up into smaller, more achievable steps. Monthly or weekly goals are easier to achieve. Make sure that your goals represent a healthy weight loss - which most often means gradual weight loss leading to a healthy weight for your age, gender, height and body type.
4. Write it all down Whether you call it a food diary or a success journal (personally I prefer the latter), get into the habit of recording your eating habits - and preferably start doing this before you go on a weight loss program. Record what you eat, when you eat - and why you eat. Why you eat will help you identify what triggers the unhealthy eating habits that may have led to your weight gain. Boredom, loneliness, anger, frustration and stress can often lead us to unhealthy snacks and comfort food, even though we know it's not good for us. Use your diary or journal to record your goals, and your progress.
5. Program for success, but expect some bad days Forget about all the diets you've been on in the past! Program yourself for success on this one, but accept that there will be bad days - and even bad weeks. Nobody is perfect, and you will have a day or two where it just gets too much for you. You may skip a workout, or find yourself unable to resist the donuts your colleague brought to work. It's okay to slip up! It is NOT okay to give up. One bad day, one poor decision, or even a string of them, does not mean you have failed. It just means you had a bad day. Tomorrow does not have to be the same, so just get started right away.
6. Get support Whether it's friends, family or an online group, make sure you have people to support and encourage you - especially on those bad days. There are thousands of people in online groups who share their experiences with different diets and weight loss programs, have been through the same difficulties you may be facing, and many who have succeeded. Read their stories, chat to them, and learn from their mistakes.
7. Exercise Whether you like it or not, some form of physical activity must be included in a healthy lifestyle. Not only does it help you lose weight, but it will help you maintain the weight loss. Of course, the health benefits are a big factor - even if you're thin, exercise is good for you. You will find that the usual recommendation is between 30 and 45 minutes of exercise three times a week. Recent research indicates that those thirty minutes can be broken up into 100% GUARANTEED WEIGHT LOSS

100% GUARANTEED WEIGHT LOSS
three 10 minutes sessions, with the same results. 10 minutes is often easier to fit into a busy schedule, and the exercise you do will keep your metabolism boosted throughout the day. Your exercise program should involve activities that you enjoy doing. If you don't enjoy it, you're going to find any excuse not to do it, or be miserable when you are. One of the three factors most likely to lead to successful weight loss is having home exercise equipment, so that may be an avenue to investigate too.
8. Eating Whether you are following a specific diet plan, counting calories, or just cutting down on the 'bad' food, there are a couple of things that can help you. Eat slowly. It takes 20 minutes from the time you start eating, for your brain to register feelings of fullness. If you gulp your food down in less time, you won't know you're too full until it's too late. Stop eating when you feel satisfied - not full. Watch those portions - especially when you are eating out. Eat half the meal and take the rest home in a take out box. At home, use smaller plates - a great way to make sure you don't serve too much, but your plate will still look nice and full. Go easy on the salt, limit high fat foods, replace red meat with lean poultry and fish, and drink lots of water. Don't skip meals, especially breakfast, as that's the meal that wakes up your metabolism and gets it going for the rest of the day.
9. Chart your progress Keeping track of your progress, including any slow or stalled loss periods, will let you see what helps you to succeed, what causes problems, and when to celebrate. Don't compare yourself to anyone else, even if they are following the exact same plan as you. Everyone loses weight at a different rate, due to metabolism, muscle tone and body type differences. If your progress has stalled, particularly towards the end of your diet, you may have hit a plateau. The best way to overcome this is to change something. Exercise in the mornings instead of the evenings, swop carbs for proteins and vice versa in a few meals, or even take a few days break altogether. A plateau means your body has settled into a routine, and often all it needs is a little jolt to get it working at losing weight again.
10. Maintain, maintain, maintain! It is common sense that once you've lost weight, going back to your old habits will bring the weight back on, but so many fall into that trap. Either their diet was so radical it is impossible to continue in real life, or the weight loss program failed to explain how the dietary changes made to lose weight can be adapted to maintain your new weight. After 100% GUARANTEED WEIGHT LOSS

your 'diet' is finished, you should have a better idea of what to eat, when to eat, and how to eat it. You should be feeling the benefits of regular exercise, and in fact be able to do more exercise because you are now fitter and stronger. Adapting your weight loss program to a weight loss maintenance program and a new healthy lifestyle should be a priority.
