Health and Wellness - Weight Loss

Saturday, April 24th, 2010

 

What are the essential steps to selecting a weight loss Program.

1. A desire to lose weight.
You must target an achievable goal for this task. A target weight loss can keep you motivated for a long period of time. Make sure it is realistic and achievable. For example target a pound per week for 10 weeks. Therefore your long term target is 10 pounds while your short term target is 1 pound. This will help you be motivated because you can see the results in a short period of time

2. Program support
When choosing a weight loss program ask for the benefits and support the program will provide. Are there any customer service lines? Any counseling or advice groups? Can they help me get slim? Are there any dieting plan or exercise programs provided?

3.Cost of the program
Can you afford the cost of the desired weight loss program? Does it include the whole package?

4. Program personalization
Do they take your lifestyle in consideration when creating a plan? Can you do the necessary task easily or will you have a hard time to reduce weight using the program?

5. Money back guarantee
Will they give refunds if you are not happy with the weight loss program? Can you return the equipment?

These are basic questions that are usually forgotten when it comes to seeking the best weight loss program that will fit your needs. To reduce weight the program must be achievable without much difficulty from you. Just remember the best weight loss program is the one specifically created for you.

Health and Wellness - Fad Diets

Wednesday, April 21st, 2010

Most popular diets are considered fad diets. There is no clear definition for what constitutes a fad diet. Merriam-Webster defines a fad as "a practice or interest followed for a time with exaggerated zeal." Fad diets often promise quick results with a short time commitment. Long-term success requires permanent changes in behavior, diet, and activity.

Ways to spot a fad diet:

  • It claims fast weight loss
  • Claims that sound too good to be true
  • Foods defined as "good" and "bad"
  • Less than 1,000 calories daily
  • A required vitamin/mineral supplement or food product
  • Elimination of a major food group (grains, fats, meats, dairy, fruit, vegetables)
  • Lack of long-term randomized scientific studies proving the diet works and is safe. A randomized study distributes participants in a deliberately random way into either the non-tested diet group or the special diet group. Some fad diets state there is research to support their claims, but the research is only done with a few people or does not exist.
  • Elimination of an essential nutrient (carbohydrates, fats, proteins)
  • No activity or exercise needed

Health and Wellness - weight loss tips

Everyone is looking for ways to achieve weight loss and maybe todays tip will help you:-

Weight loss Tip 1: Stop focusing on achieving weight loss and start aiming for fat loss. There are several reasons why fat loss beats weight loss any day of the week. The most important being that it is not your gross weight that is harmful to your health and state of wellbeing. It is the amount of extra fat that you lug around.

Weight Loss Tip 2: Do not set big goals. If you set unachievable goals. you are bound to fail. And then you get disillusioned and then your morale takes a hit and then you run for the chocolate bar and… Set little achievable goals like have one bar less chocolate today than yesterday or walk for 20 minutes 3 times a week. Once you have achieved this goal, the boost you get from your accomplishment helps renew your drive to lose weight

Weight loss tip 3: Don’t weigh yourself every day, or even every week for that matter. Schedule a weighing in once every 2 weeks. This way your efforts will actually be reflected on your scales. A lot of people just stop making an effort when they way themselves on day 3 and find that the scales have not changes.

Weight loss tip 4: Drink plenty of water. This just helps fill your stomach especially during a meal so that you feel stuffed earlier than if you were eating your meal dry. It also goes a long way in cleansing your system.

Weight loss tip 5: Get a close friend involved. Have someone that you can ‘compete’ with. Competition goes a long way in helping you stay the course.

Weight loss tip 6: Do not skip meals. This is such a big mistake that so many people make. Eat your regular meals. The process of eating actually helps boost the rate at which you burn energy. You just need to ensure that you are eating the right sort of food i.e. fat burning food.

Losing weight is no simple feat. It requires a tremendous amount of perseverance, discipline, and determination. Although thousands of online weight loss help articles are scattered over the Internet, it is hard to find that single answer and short cut to weight loss. Nevertheless, sifting through the pile of online weight loss help articles is important to find that right information that will aid you in your weight loss journey.

An online weight loss help website can range from providing detailed information about a diet program or regime; or it can also provide you self-help tips to lose weight on your own. Another aspect of online weight loss help is weight loss support groups, wherein an online community is established to help people who want to lose weight, by giving them guides and counselling to better aid their weight loss journey.

The most rampant online weight loss help you can find over the Internet is weight loss tips such as these. Weight loss tips can range from the mundane “eat less” mantra to the far-fetched “get psychiatric help” tip. Nevertheless, a weight loss tip is trusted by many, because of the use of so-called personal testimonials of people who have had first-hand experience with a particular weight loss method.

One hidden element that can help you lose weight, be stronger and healthier is Calcium, which is easy to consume.

Calcium has been proven to help you lose weight, and in particular belly fat. Who would have thought that? Studies have shown that women who consumed 1,200 – 1,400 mg of calcium daily had shed over 60% more body fat than those on a low calcium diet. Even more exciting is that the study at Purdue University found that the women on a high calcium diet also lost belly fat twice as fast as those on a low calcium menu. Another study found that two 8 0z servings of yogurt a day lowered blood pressure by 5 points and cut hypertension risk by 20%.

So the question is….how do you get enough calcium in your diet?

You could just start taking calcium supplements, but as with all diet advice, but its is better to eat a normal healthy diet. There are so many tasty foods that are rich in calcium to choose from so it shouldn’t be difficult.

Here’s a recommendation: 1. Take a Calcium with vitamin D supplement daily in split doses; 600 mg in the morning with breakfast, and 600 mg in the evening with dinner.

2. Add 2 servings of dairy products to your diet each day such as:-
* Milk
* Cheese
* Yogurt
* Kefir

But if you are lactose intolerant, then then are dairy products low in lactose that may be tolerated such as Greek style yogurt or Kefir and hard cheeses.

In addition there are many non-dairy foods which are rich in calcium such as:-
* Almonds
* Spinach
* Salmon
* Sardines
* Calcium fortified orange juice
* Kale
* Collard greens
* Tofu
* Enriched rice or soy milk

Are you looking for some practical ways to lose weight? Start by simply noticing what you are eating. Then slowly cut out all the processed foods and start adding more healthy foods in your diet.

Eating foods that you really like will help you stick to your diet rather than craving bad foods. The bottom line is eating healthy foods is essential for any weight loss program.

Once you have a plan for healthy eating, the next step is to start a daily exercise routine. If you hate exercising, then take small steps by doing a little bit of aerobics each day and slowly work up. It’s important to select exercises that are appropriate and you really like doing. If you do exercises that you like you will find it not only fun but you will lose weight faster.

Once you get used to an exercise routine, muscle toning is an excellent for any weight loss program. Muscles, believe it or not, burn calories faster than fat does, pound for pound, this is why weight training can be important..

Once you gain a little confidence, find a healthy weight loss program where you can exercise with weights to build some muscle and help you really lose the weight. Lean muscle mass from lifting weights will help you burn more calories over a long period of time and help you to lose weight and look your best.
