Walking for Health

How much should we walk to lose weight or to maintain fitness? A good rule of thumb is you must take 12,000 - 15,000 steps a day to lose weight. It takes about 10,000 steps a day to maintain fitness. Obviously fewer steps mean you are neither losing or maintaining. Any amount of walking is good. For the best health results set a brisk walking pace for 30 minutes at least 5 times a week.

How can we get started? Like all exercise programs there are some great ideas to get us going. The first suggestion is to buy a pedometer so you can measure how many steps you take each day. They are readily available and affordable. There are two great options available at I Spy I Buy - take a look. Some even help count calories. It is easy to calibrate your pedometer. Count the number of steps taken over a known distance and do a little math. A quarter mile track at a local school are easy places to calibrate your step length.

Next we have to plan our schedules to incorporate walking. Start slowly and build up to your target level. Easy ways to add walking to your schedule is to walk with friends, a loved one or your family dog. Its a wonderful way to spend quality time and get healthy.

If you look at the benefits of walking they read like the wild claims of a snake oil salesman. Its easy to do. Costs very little. And it works.

Lose Weight USA - Start Walking

The health benefits from simply walking are startling. Did you know that walking 10,000 steps a day is roughly equivalent to the Surgeon General’s recommendation that we all get 30 minutes of vigorous exercise five times a week? Study after study shows regular walkers have less incidence of cancer, heart disease, stroke, diabetes and other killer diseases. In addition walkers live longer and enjoy mental health and spiritual benefits. With little or no equipment investment everyone can walk.

According to AARP these are some of the benefits:

Managing your weight. Combined with healthy eating, physical activity is key to any plan for long-lasting weight control. Keeping your weight within healthy limits can lower your risks of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, stroke, cancer, sleep apnea, and osteoarthritis.

Controlling your blood pressure. Physical activity strengthens the heart so it can pump more blood with less effort and with less pressure on the arteries. Staying fit is just as effective as some medications in keeping down blood pressure levels.

Decreasing your risk of heart attack. Exercise such as brisk walking for three hours a week — or just half an hour a day — is associated with a 30% to 40% lower risk of heart disease in women. (Based on the 20-year Nurses’ Health Study of 72,000 female nurses.)

Boosting “good” cholesterol – the level of high-density lipoproteins (HDL). Physical activity helps reduce low-density lipoproteins (LDL or “bad” cholesterol) in the blood, which can cause plaque build-up along the artery walls — a major cause of heart attacks.

Lowering your risk of stroke. Regular, moderate exercise equivalent to brisk walking for an hour a day, five days a week, can cut the risk of stroke in half, according to a Harvard study of more than 11,000 men.

Reducing your risk of breast cancer and type 2 diabetes. The Nurses’ Health Study also links regular activity to risk reductions for both these diseases. In another study, people at high risk of diabetes cut their risk in half by combining consistent exercise like walking with lower fat intake and a 5% to 7% weight loss.

Avoiding your need for gallstone surgery. Regular walking or other physical activity lowers the risk of needing gallstone surgery by 20% to 31%, found a Harvard study of more than 60,000 women ages 40 to 65.

Protecting against hip fracture. Consistent activity diminishes the risk of hip fracture, concludes a study of more than 30,000 men and women ages 20 to 93.

The list goes on and on. Many other studies indicate a daily brisk walk also can help:

Prevent depression, colon cancer, constipation, osteoporosis, and impotence
Lengthen lifespan
Lower stress levels
Relieve arthritis and back pain
Strengthen muscles, bones, and joints
Improve sleep
Elevate overall mood and sense of well-being.

There are many ways to lose weight effectively and safely. Weight gain and 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. 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. And the best way to ensure successful weight loss is to take advantage of the wide array of natural substances that are available over-the-counter.

Weight loss should be regarded as a long term project rather than a quick fix, you need to work to change what you eat and what exercise you do and you will both look and feel better for it.

Weight Loss - why do you fail

Millions of people in America are trying to lose weight without much success. There are many reasons for this failure, although most would rather give up than fix their mistakes. Weight loss is hard! Without a lot of patience and knowledge about nutrition and exercise, your best weight loss plan may crumble. Learning the top reasons why weight loss plans fails is important so that you do not make these mistakes in your own life.

First, many weight loss plans fail because the people trying to lose weight follow too strict of a diet. When you cut back your calories, you will burn more than you eat, so you’ll lose weight, right? If you do this gradually, then yes, it works like a charm. However, if you suddenly cut too many, you won’t lose any weight at all because you metabolism will slow down as you body goes into starvation mode. You also put yourself at danger for not getting enough for the vitamins, minerals, proteins, and other nutrients you need every single day in order to stay healthy.

Another common mistake is trying to go at weight loss alone. Everything you do regarding weight loss, from dieting to exercising, will be a hundred times easier if you have a partner because you will push each other not to quit. Working with a support system on a large scale is also important. Your friends and family should know that you are attempting to lose weight so that they can help you on the process and not tempt you by doing things like baking you cookies or taking up your gym time. Also, remember that professionals, like doctors and trainers, should come into the weight loss plan to help you shed the pounds. If you are looking for a buddy click here

Setting unrealistic goals is another good way to fail at a weight loss plan. When you set goals that you can’t easily reach, you push yourself to move forward and will feel successful even if you fall short. However, when you set impossible goals, you will find that you are easily frustrated. Don’t weigh in every day, don’t completely cut out all of the foods you eat on a regular basis, and don’t exercise to much right away. Gradually build up to reaching the goals you really want for your life, but smart out with smaller ideas.

Lastly, simply know yourself. Weight loss plans fail when you attempt to be something you are not. Maybe you have wide hips — a weight lose plan won’t completely change that, for example. You have to be happy with yourself on the inside before you change things on the outside in order to succeed at losing weight.

Weight Loss

Follow the example of Korean Women

Very few Korean woman are fat, although there are exceptions as popular western fast food habits spread around the world.

Traditional Korean cuisine has always been based on the natural environment. Being a peninsula, the country is surrounded on three sides by oceans, almost 70 percent of the land is mountainous, and various rivers flow down from the mountains’ slopes. So, as you can figure, there is no shortage of seafood available; and several fish, molluscs, and sea creatures make their way to the dinner table. From the mountains, various wild and cultivated vegetables and fruits are available.

According to Korean nutritionists, the Korean diet is well-balanced in nutrition, weight control, and cholesterol intake. But traditional cuisine was not developed with just nutrition in mind; Koreans have always considered the idea of balance, a sense of well-being, and a spiritual peace as accompaniments to their meals.

According to The Cambridge World History of Food, the traditional Korean diet is composed of 70 percent carbohydrates (mostly in the form of rice and vegetables, which are present at most meals), about 14 to 17 percent protein, and 13 percent fat. When compared to the traditional European diet, you can see a stark difference—the European diet is typically composed of 40 percent carbohydrates, 15 to 20 percent protein, 30 to 40 percent fat, and 10 to 15 percent sugar.

So you can seen the natural effect of reduced fat and absence of sugar in the diet.

Why you Fail to Lose Weight

I have been studying weight loss for over a year now and have discovered that weight loss is similar to running an online business, in that the failure rate is very high, hence the number of obese people in the USA and around the world.

Weight loss depends on three key factors.

Determination - you need to have the right mind set, goals and rewards and look for long term weight loss rather than a quick fix. you have to follow your diet and exercise program to the letter and keep focussed on you goals no matter what is going on around you.
Consistency - You need to be able to realise when you are are straying from the program by eating that bar of chocolate or missing out on a scheduled exercise, which happens from time to time, but get back to your program.
Faith - You must trust in the program you have selected and give it time to work, losing weight in a healthy way is a slow effort and take time don’t be diverted from you program because of the new latest fad diet.

If you are in business you may recognise the above traits, they are what bring success to your business and will do the same for your health, so apply them to your lifestyle today.

Weight loss and Milk

According to a review of the published scientific literature, claims that low-fat dairy products or calcium can help people lose weight are untrue. Neither dairy products in general nor calcium intake promote weight loss.

Out of 49 clinical trials, 41 showed no effects of diary or calcium on weight, two showed an increase in body weight with a dairy regimen, and one showed a lower rate of weight gain. Only five showed weight loss.

An association between calcium or dairy intake and weight loss has been seen in some “observational” studies, possibly due to other factors such as increased exercise, cutting out high-calorie foods with little nutritional value, or other diet changes.

SOURCES: Reuters May 14, 2026

The problem is that most people drink low fat milk which can make you fat rather than whole milk that doesn’t

It’s common knowledge among farmers that pigs fed skimmed milk gain weight easily, whereas pigs fed whole milk stay lean. A 2005 study published in the Archives of Paediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, found that this holds true for humans as well. After following almost 13,000 children (ages 9-14 years) for three years, they found that weight gain was associated with drinking reduced-fat and skim milk. However, they also concluded that it wasn’t dairy fat itself that caused the weight gain, but rather the excess calories.

It seems that the butterfat in whole raw milk, particularly butterfat in milk from cows that graze freely on green pasture, contains unique nutrients that support thyroid function and help your body develop muscle rather than fat. Also whole milk from grass-fed cows is full of things that your body will thrive on: good bacteria, enzymes, raw fat, and cancer-fighting conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), among other things, pasteurized milk is known to cause all kinds of health troubles, from digestive upset to perhaps even autism and diabetes.

Pasteurised or processed milk alters the content of milk so that some of the natural goodness is lost and it is not uncommon for people who switch to RAW milk to report that many of their health issues — from allergies, to digestive troubles, to skin issues like eczema, clear up.

However, milk allergies are a real issue for a lot of people, so if you have a severe milk or dairy allergy you will most likely want to limit or avoid even raw milk.

Fast weight loss problems

When you diet you will lose fat and muscle. This decrease in muscle mass will cause your metabolism to slow down meaning you will burn fewer and fewer fat calories.

This is of course very bad news if you want to lose even the slightest amount of weight. All of us start to lose lean muscle as a natural part of life, and in most it will start around your mid to late 20’s or so.Your metabolic rate will decrease by around five percent each decade of your life. So as you age, weight loss becomes tougher and tougher so the need for weight loss advice that works becomes greater.

One explanation for this is that your lean muscle decreases and your body fat increases due to inactivity. Most people get caught up in work and spend leisure time in front of the TV instead of taking care of their body and using the best fast weight loss tips available.And of course when you’re raising a family it makes sticking to effective and fast weight loss tips even tougher. Too much body fat is one of the major causes of hypertension, high blood pressure, certain types of cancer and other health problems.

The fact is over 95% of people who use the average “diet” most fast weight loss advice is focused around will put all the weight back on plus at least an extra five pounds within a few months.

Over the years you’ve probably tried all fast weight loss advice and fad diets that came along and still suffered with weight loss problems. Diets and most fast weight loss advice just doesn’t work. But with that being said, there are fast weight loss methods that do work properly, you just have to know what to look for.

The problem with most fast weight loss tips is that the main thing they try to get you to do is to reduce your caloric intake. But it’s a scientific fact that when you do this your body shifts into a protective mode, holding onto fat (an important energy source) and sacrificing muscle instead. And it’s extremely important to note that every person over the age of 16, using any fast weight loss tips, who eats 800 calories or less per day will only lose muscle - not an ounce of fat!

To permanently lose the fat stores in your body you’ve got to burn more calories and increase your metabolic rate (the rate at which your body burns fuel) and exercise.

How to lose weight whilst you sleep

There is one simple rule on how to lose weight weight when you sleep and that is to finishing eating at least 3 hours before you go to bed. Your body is conditioned to eat every 5 hours or so, so when you sleep it will go into hunger mode and consume fat, provided that your meal had been properly digested.

Your body will always consume carbohydrates first, so by not eating three hours before bed you will burn off calories in the form of fat.

Weight Loss

Do you want to lose weight or lose fat?

It is important that you understand the difference, if you are looking for fast weight loss you will generally not lose fat, as the fast weight loss is often achieved by losing water, yes in 72 hours you can lose weight in this way but it will go back just as quickly.

Losing fat will however trim your body and with exercise you will build lean muscles which will make you look better but because toned muscles weight more that fat you actual weight loss will be smaller.

If you want to lose fat, its a matter of ensuring that you eat less calories than the body will burn, for example if you consume 450 less calories in a day you will lose 1/8 of a pound a day or 11 lbs in three months.

You need to take care not to eat less than 1200 calories a day otherwise you risk your body going into starvation mode and slowing your metabolism, and when this happens, fat is conserved which defeats the object and you will not lose weight.
