How To Lose Fat

Monday, August 24th, 2009

In order to make the most of your weight loss program, finding the most effective ways to burn fat will maximize your results and minimize your waistline! Follow these 10 tips for fat burning if you want to lose weight and lead a healthier way of life.

  1. Drink more Water - One of the best weight loss secrets is to ditch the sodas and stick to water! Experts say you should drink approximately eight glasses of water a day to stay hydrated and healthy. Instead of turning to calorie-laden or sugar-rich drinks, grab a refreshing glass of water. In addition to flushing toxins out of your system, drinking water encourages you to build muscle.
  2. Eat More Meals - A traditional three-meals-a-day plan just will not cut it if you are in the market to burn fat. Your body is not able to metabolise large meals and will quickly turn any excess into fat. Many experts believe you should eat six small meals a day. Be sure you cut back on your food consumption at each meal, or else you will be doubling your intake—and doubling your fat storage!
  3. Work Out with Weights - One great way to maximize the amount of fat you are burning is to add a weight program to your work out routine. Weight training will not only tone your physique, but will strengthen your body and improve your general health. Lifting weights will also burn calories and fat more quickly than traditional exercising, and it will also boost your metabolism.
  4. Choose Protein - Choose protein-laden foods for boosting your metabolism and enabling your body to burn fat rapidly. In addition to burning fat, consuming a protein-enriched diet will help you rebuild muscle after work outs and maintain leanness of that muscle. Wisely choose proteins for your diet. Take great care to pick proteins low in fat so you do not consume extra calories.
  5. Cut Calories Wisely - It may be tempting to drastically cut your calorie intake when starting a healthy lifestyle. Instead, use a step method when cutting your calorie intake to minimize risk. Reducing calories too quickly results in your body rapidly burning all available calories, which will lower your metabolism. Furthermore, you are more likely to maintain your healthy lifestyle through this step method.
  6. Reward Yourself - When it comes to successfully dieting to burn the most fat, be sure to reward yourself. Everyone has temptations and favourite treats—so allow indulgence. You will be less likely to cheat on your new diet if you grant yourself small rewards. If you are a chocolate lover, treat yourself to a small square of chocolate or single chocolate kiss each evening.
  7. Avoid Marathon Work Outs - The biggest mistake people make when looking to burn fat and lose weight is to have one long, extensive work out session. Instead, break up your work out plan into small chunks throughout the day. Take a brisk walk in the morning, enjoy a work out at lunch, and then exercise more in the evening. In addition to staying active all day long, breaking up your work out will better maintain your metabolism.
  8. Mix It Up - Choosing to engage in a variety of quality exercises will keep your interest and best allow you to maintain your goal of burning fat. Instead of doing the same exercises each day—mix it up! Opt to swim laps one day, jog another, and bike the next. Rotating your activities will not only allow you to experience a variety of athletics, it will also allow you to better tone your body.
  9. Skip Happy Hour - For those individuals who want to burn fat quickly, avoid alcohol. Rich in sugars and carbohydrates, alcohol is a calorie-rich substance. These empty calories can add up quickly and take away from necessary nutrients that should be included in your daily diet. Furthermore, alcohol acts as an inhibitor for burning fat, allowing your body to store it more quickly.
  10. Try a Low GI Diet - A low GI diet is an excellent method of burning fat quickly. This diet encourages individuals to consume high amounts of foods with low rankings on the Glycemic Index. These foods are nutritious and will aid your body in burning fats and calories at a quicker pace. This diet includes many of your favourite fruits, vegetable, meats, dairy, and grain products.

Desperate To Lose Weight USA

One day, carbs are the enemy. Next, pills and injections will be the thing to do. After that, everyone will be rushing to detoxify their body of toxins that cause weight gain. It seems everyone is in search of the Holy Grail of weight loss, that mythological easy weight-loss plan that works for everyone.

Before you take the bait on the next fad diet, here are a few weight loss related myths — and the cold hard facts — from some local experts in the field.

The myth: The less you eat, the more weight you will lose.

The fact: There is no reason to be hungry all the time in order to lose weight. You are better off to eat 5-7 small meals than 3 larger ones.

The myth: Your body needs to be cleansed of harmful toxins that cause weight retention.

The fact: All this does is get rid of water weight. As soon as you start drinking water again, the weight will come back.

The myth: You need to weigh yourself often while on a weight-loss plan in order to gauge the success.

The fact: A scale is not the best indicator of a successful weight-loss plan. People get frustrated when they don’t see significant weight loss right away. The fact is, muscle does weigh more than fat and because of that, they should use other ways to track the success of their plan (like measuring body fat).

The myth: A low-carb diet is healthy.

The fact: Some people go on low-carb diets without really having a true understanding of what they can and cannot eat. Diets that eliminates fruits and vegetables can’t be healthy. Complex carbohydrates, like the ones found in fruits and vegetables, are good for the body and can promote weight loss.

How Ice Cream in your Diet Will Help You Lose Weight

Friday, August 21st, 2009

Today I thought I’d take a moment to explain the importance of protein and its role in fat loss.

It’s very important to balance ALL meals and snacks with carb-rich and protein-rich foods together. A meal with carbohydrates alone is problematic because glucose levels shoot up and then crash down. This can leave you feeling tired, hungry, and weak - and gives your body an easy opportunity to convert that meal to fat.

When protein is included, however, you will not only stay full longer, but glucose levels will stay more consistent, your metabolism will work more efficiently, and you will feel energized for a longer period.

Carbs are digested in about two hours, but proteins take longer to digest. So,when the two are eaten together, protein slows down the digestion of the carbohydrates, and energy from carbs are released more slowly.

In addition, eating carbohydrates with protein means the carbohydrates will be used as energy, sparing the protein for use building and repairing muscle tissues, their primary function.

So, for maximum fat loss, make sure that you include a complete protein source at each snack and meal. All of these reasons above are exactly why you should consider the Protein Freeze product.

There are a lot of healthy carbs, such as oatmeal and fruit. But if eaten alone, you’ll run into the same problems explained above. Protein Freeze not only offers 22 grams of very high quality protein, it has just 2 grams of fat and sugar! … and it tastes absolutely amazing and goes so well oatmeal, fruit, and a variety of other healthy carbs.

Who would have ever thought that ice cream would be good for you and help you lose fat?! Click Here for more info - you will absolutely LOVE this stuff, I promise.

Here are some great tips on weight loss without surgery. I know that you have probably seen these before but hey it’s very important because I see all these people that want to lose weight but don’t know how to or they don’t have the determination. I always say that if there is something that you don’t like about yourself change it. There is no sense in sitting around on that couch and being jealous of everyone else because you are feeling insecure. Here are some ways that I have seen people losing weight. These tips work.

  1. Write your goal on paper. I say this one because a goal is not valid unless it’s on paper.
  2. Stay committed and determined to complete your goal.
  3. . Surround yourself with people who are supportive and who will help up accomplish this goal. This one is very important because that is the one thing that will sidetrack you from doing something positive is having that one negative "friend" that is afraid that you are going look better than them.
  4. Yes, watch what you eat. Of course.
  5. Get outside. Be active. Join a health club. Or a gym.
  6. Create a healthy social life. Losing weight or anything that has to do with changing ourselves requires that we have good, positive associations. It requires that we want this for ourselves and that we have a self esteem that is high.
  7. Don’t say you are going to lose weight and then do all the things that say you are not. Be proactive.

Once these you follow these tips I am sure that you will not only lose the weight that you want to lose but you will find that you have created a new you from the inside out.

Inspired by my conversations with clients today I thought I would address the “Dieting” issue. There are so many do’s and don’ts out there and so many myths to debunk. So, let’s dive in and discuss how 90% of people fail at diets but the majority of people succeed at “clean eating”

First off what is clean eating? Clean eating is supplying your body with the nutrients it needs, while trying to eat more healthy foods such as; fruits, vegetables, lean meats, and whole grains. Isn’t that a diet? Well, according to the Webster’s dictionary a diet is, “a regiment of eating and drinking sparingly so as to reduce one’s weight”. I do not know about you but that sounds pretty naff and I wouldn’t want to follow something like that! Which one sounds better to you Clean eating or Dieting?

Let’s look at how to eat clean and how you benefit from it. Include the following items in your meal plan: fruits, vegetables, healthy fats, low-fat dairy products, protein and whole grains/complex carbohydrates Foods to avoid: Processed foods, refined foods, package snacks, candies, pastries, white bread and pasta, saturated fats, trans fats, and sugary soda’s and juices.

Follow these tips when constructing your menu:

  1. Eat 5-6 times a day. Mixing 3 to 4 meals with 2 to 3 healthy snacks
  2. Try to eat every 3-5 hours, unless you really are not hungry
  3. Try to pair a source of protein with a carb source. This will help you digest your food more slowly giving you a satisfied feeling for longer.

Benefits of Clean Eating: more energy, clearer skin and shinier, healthier hair, increased mental well being, better sleep and of course weight loss! As you can see doesn’t clean eating look more appealing then a diet of regimented foods and water taking in sparing to lose weight!

Now don’t forget to exercise to increase weight loss and overall health! Don’t know what to do to get started with your clean eating plan?

Many people give up on weight loss simply because they are afraid of the monthly gym memberships and expensive healthy foods. However, weight loss does not have to be costly. There are many things you can do in order to make your dieting experience affordable. In this article I will list some of the ways you can save on various weight loss expenses.

  1. You don’t need a gym membership in order to lose weight. A lot of people believe that the only way to lose weight is with the help of expensive weight loss equipment. That however is untrue. Everything that you do at the gym can be done in the comfort of your own home. For instance, if the treadmill is your machine of choice, you can just as easily walk and job outdoors. If you are taking certain classes at your local gym, all you need to do is purchase a similar DVD. Everything from aerobics to yoga to Pilates is available in an affordable DVD format.
  2. If you think that healthy nutrition is expensive, once again you are mistaken. The most important part of a healthy diet is fresh produce. Buying inexpensive fresh produce is easy, all you have to do is purchase fruits and veggies that are currently in season. Aside from fresh produce, you should also consume low-fat dairy, whole grains instead of refined grains, lean meats, fish and beans. Healthy foods are not that much more expensive than their unhealthy counterparts, you just have to be willing to make the switch.

As you can see, weight loss is attainable without breaking the bank. However, if you happen to have money to invest in your diet, you can always try all natural diet pills (such as Hoodia) or whey protein shakes. These two supplements can help you lose weight because they provide you with the appetite suppression that you need.

For the most part, people do not care about their health until they have lost it. In the meantime, almost everyone hires a personal trainer for one reason: They want to look better naked. Some club owners and personal trainers have a problem with that. That’s fine. But these same clubs and trainers are usually the ones who are struggling to make ends meet.

There is a reason that diets, diet pills, miracle potions and the like sell so well — they promise easy weight loss. It’s mostly because these companies are selling what people really, really want — weight loss. If your personal training department is promoting to your members how you can help them fit into their “skinny jeans” again, well, you’re completely out of touch with reality.

When you provide a solid program of nutrition and exercise that delivers terrific weight-loss results, it’s like hiding medicine in applesauce. Members will receive health benefits as a natural matter of course, along with the weight loss they want.

Desperate To Lose Weight

Saturday, August 15th, 2009

 

The need to lose weight may have become a part of everyday life, but that hasn’t made it an easy goal to achieve. We work at it and we struggle with it, that being said, it is very important to know that you can succeed. There are some selected ways to losing weight effectively and safely. Weight gain and Weight loss are directly related to the balance between the calories you take in, such as your daily food and the calories you burn through daily activity and specific exercise, such as sports.

You should strive to maintain a "natural weight". Most adolescents need 1,700 to 3,000 calories a day just to meet physiologic needs and support growth and normal daily activities. Natural weight is your weight when you are eating a healthy, balanced diet with enough calories to sustain growth and usual daily activities. Protein can reduce hunger (thereby decreasing the calories you consume), help you preserve muscle as you lose weight, and help your body build more muscle, particularly if you include strength training in your fitness routine, Muscle burns more calories than fat and also helps you look trimmer.

Why you Are Desperate to Lose Weight

Before the weight loss tips are discussed, it’s important to address some background information about body genetics and why weight loss can be difficult. It is important to note that each person has a different body build. Some people are short and stout while others are tall and thin. Some have big hips and shoulders, and others are short and very muscular. Genetics can determine body shape and a person’s natural build just as it does eye colour, hair colour, skin colour, and so on. The good news is that genetics do not determine whether or not one will be fat, but will determine one’s body shape. This means that not every woman can expect to be tall and thin like a Hollywood actress or super model. Not every man can expect to be defined and muscular. The goal, really, is to be at a comfortable weight for one’s body shape and to feel good about it.

If you are overweight, you have the risk of having heart disease, stroke, diabetes, high blood pressure, gout, breathing problem and hyperthyroidism. You should seriously think about weight loss. You should know the reason of your weight problem.

Here are most common reasons which can cause some one to gain unnecessary weight:

  • Slow metabolism
  • Emotional eating
  • Hormonal imbalances
  • Eating portions that are too large
  • Build up of toxins in the body
  • Eating late
  • High susceptibility to growth hormones
  • Not eating breakfast
  • Numerous diets
  • Food ingredients

You can loose weight effectively by setting yourself small, realistic targets which can be achieved in short duration of time. Focus on what you have to lose this week not this year. This is very important. If you have a target weight in mind that is a long way down the scale from where you are now, concentrating on that goal alone is enough to put you off even before you start. Breaking your desired weight loss down into sections so that you have a weekly target allows you to have an achievable goal each and every week. There is absolutely no point in setting yourself unrealistic weekly goals; you’re destined to fail. Moreover you can benefit by a wide range of natural products for weight loss that may really help you to achieve your desire weight.

Frustrated with weight loss? You may feel as though all the hard work put forth is not effective. Consider these factors associated with eating and weight loss.

  • Portion sizes – measure out food to learn how much you are really eating. After a few days, you will be able to size up your portions without having to measure.
  • Environment – eating while driving, watching television, etc. can be a factor of mindless eating. Try sitting at a table during meals with a set amount of food. If your job requires eating on the run, pack a set portion size to reduce chances of overeating.
  • Fullness when eating – eat until you are satisfied, not overly full. Try to eat slowly. Wait 15-20 minutes prior to getting more food; you may feel satisfied after waiting.
  • Types of food – consider if you are eating out often. Try to commit to preparing your own foods at home. This gives you more control over portion sizes and how foods are prepared.
  • Consistency – weight loss efforts should occur everyday of the week. Consider whether you focus on weight loss only some of the time. Do you often think, "I will start again on Monday?".

Remember that weight gain did not occur overnight and will not be lost overnight. Stick with your goals by making lifestyle modifications that aid in weight loss.

Desperate To Lose Weight USA

Thursday, August 13th, 2009

 

Following on from yesterdays diet tips, now comes the challenge, maintaining the positive eating habits, physical activity regimen, and positive mind set you’re about to develop along the way.

One might think that once you’ve lost the weight, and got to your desired weight, that it’s easy to maintain that weight, not true. As a matter of fact the majority of people that lose weight gain it back in a very short period of time. This is sometimes called the "yo-yo" diet. Losing weight is an accomplishment that will likely benefit your health for a long period of time – if you keep the weight off. So how do you keep that weight off?

According to an article I found on the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), called Keeping It Off, there are some simple steps you can follow to keep the weight off.

  1. Watch Your Diet
    • Follow a healthy and realistic eating pattern. In studies of people who have lost weight and kept it off for at least a year, most continued to eat a diet lower in calories as compared to their pre-weight loss diet.
    • Keep your eating patterns consistent. Follow a healthy eating pattern regardless of changes in your routine. Plan ahead for weekends, vacations, and special occasions.
    • Eat breakfast every day. Eating breakfast is a common trait among people who have lost weight and kept it off. Eating a healthful breakfast may help you avoid getting "over-hungry" and then overeating later in the day.
  2. Be Active
    • Get daily physical activity. People who have lost weight and kept it off typically engage in 60–90 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity most days of the week while not exceeding calorie needs. This doesn’t necessarily mean 60–90 minutes at one time.
  3. Stay the Course
    • Monitor your diet and activity. Keeping a food and physical activity journal can help you track your progress and spot trends.
    • Monitor your weight. Check your weight regularly. When managing your weight loss, it’s a good idea to keep track of your weight so you can plan accordingly and adjust your diet and exercise plan as necessary.
    • Get support from family, friends, and others. People who have successfully lost weight and kept it off often rely on support from others to help them stay on course and get over any relapses.

As I mentioned yesterday, the key to achieving and maintaining a healthy weight isn’t about short-term dietary changes. It’s about a "lifestyle" that includes healthy eating, regular physical activity, and balancing the number of calories you consume with the number of calories your body uses. And all of this begins with a thought in your mind, a thought that you understand the need to lose weight.

With weight loss programs like TriVita’s Leanology™, it makes it easier for you to get started on your weight loss journey.
