Lose Weight, Get In Shape, And Feel Great The Easy Way!

Posted by DebAllen on July 25, 2008 None comments

Whether it is a New Years Resolution or simply a personal goal, most of us secretly or openly want to lose weight and get in shape. Of course we want to feel great and do it all the easy way. Sounds like a dream to some and perhaps like a nightmare to others.

Okay, so who would think that sounds like a nightmare, let us start with the millions of people that try time and again to lose weight only to find that they do not lose weight or in some cases they lose it only to gain it back. Or the people that find the same situations with exercise and getting in better physical shape.

So what is the solution, how can you take care of yourself without feeling deprived, lose weight and get in shape at the same time; the solution is probably much simpler than you ever thought possible. It is by using a holistic approach.

A holistic approach takes into consideration every aspect of your life. This includes your mental and emotional status. Some people eat out of emotions, some of us have emotional attachments to food or particular food items.

A holistic approach will take into account any physical problems that you are dealing with. You cannot be expected to maintain a tough exercise regimen if you are not physically able. This approach will also consider the time you have available.

Many of us if not all of us are living life to its fullest. What I mean is, we have very little down time and for us to try to add three hours a week at a gym is simply asking too much of ourselves. We do not need to set ourselves up for failure. Instead we can find ways to incorporate exercise and physical activity into our existing daily routines.

Eating healthy meals on a regular basis and having light snacks in between will result in weight lose or maintenance. We simply need to avoid the high calorie foods as a routine part of our consumption. However, depriving ourselves of a food that we are craving will usually only lead to overeating in the end. You may find that it is best to give in to that desire, let the crave win and you will win in the end.

After you become accustomed to the holistic approach and you have it fully integrated into your life you will see that it is nothing more than a healthy way of living, it is a healthy lifestyle. You will find that you lose weight, your body will regain its shape and you will feel younger and more energetic.

The amazing part of the holistic approach is that it is not a diet or program but it provides the results that those systems claim to do. With a holistic approach you do not diet and therefore you will not feel hungry. Your life will improve in ways that you did not expect.

How To Have A Secret To Fat Loss And Lose Weight Easy

Posted by thesecret2fatloss on July 24, 2008 None comments

When people think of losing weight, usually the thought of a difficult and annoying hassle comes to mind. But, that’s definitely not the case. Actually, losing weight is quite easy, if you know the best ways to do it. Losing weight can be easy and it can be efficient and enjoyable at the same time. Believe me, it is definitely possible, even if it doesn’t sound that way.

The only reason everyone thinks that losing weight is difficult is because they’ve been using the wrong methods! There are a lot of different ways to lose weight, but you have to know the basics and core principles before you can pick the most effective weight loss plan out there. Here are some basics to help you lose weight the easy way:

Easy Weight Loss Way #1: Get your mind (and body) into it! One of the easiest, if not THE easiest, way to lose weight is to make sure your mind is completely ready to do it. You don’t need to think about it 24/7/365 but you do have to give it some thought, especially in the beginning.

Figure out the weight you need or want to lose, a rough estimate is fine and plan a deadline for yourself; it will make you that much more determined when you have a actual date to achieve your weight loss by.

Easy Weight Loss Way #2: Make healthy food choices! So to make healthy food choices, you have to know what “healthy food choices” means, right? The first step, get to know food labels. I don’t mean the calorie count, fat count, etc., even though those are important; I mean the ingredients, which is the first thing you should look at. There are plenty of “healthy” or “natural” foods out there that, well, really aren’t all that healthy or natural.

If you can’t pronounce an ingredient, more than likely, it’s a chemical. Now, when do healthy, wholesome foods have individual chemicals in them? The second thing you should look at is the nutritional breakdown (see? I told you it was still important). Even if the food item has no weird, chemical names, you should check to see the amount of sugar it has. Sugar is lovely to eat but not so great for losing weight. So get familiar with food labels and it will make your weight loss easier.

Easy Weight Loss Way #3: Change your food lifestyle! That might sound odd but if you think about it, most diets ask you to avoid certain foods for only a certain amount of time. Usually, after that period, you go back to eating those foods and then it happens, the weight comes back.

Instead of taking a vacation from certain foods, just change your food lifestyle instead! To change your food lifestyle, you need to decide that you want to eat healthy all the time; this is the fundamental change that you need to make. There are plenty of healthier choices and alternative meals to your favorite foods, and the best part, these alternatives will speed your easy weight loss!

Easy Weight Loss Way #4: Put your body to work! This requires some exercise and it is very important to losing weight. It is definitely not as difficult as some people make it sound. The first thing to do is consult your physician before beginning any physical activity; it’s wiser that way.

Then it’s a good idea to either research on your own or consult a personal trainer on the best exercises for you, your body type and your weight loss goals. A personal trainer will be more capable of giving you the best exercises to help you lose weight.

See? Not difficult at all! Very simple, very easy and very effective! So try these easy weight loss tips and you’ll see, there definitely is an easy way to lose weight!

Treadmill Workout Tips for Weight Loss

Posted by bestselfhelp on July 24, 2008 None comments

Treadmills are great tools to maintain a consistent and challenging exercise regimen. Treadmill workouts are safe and convenient, and you can do them any time of the day and any time of the year.

The more consistently you are able to complete your exercise program, the more successful you are going to be in your fitness and weight loss goals.

When you consistently run or walk on your treadmill, you will enjoy the benefits of good cardiovascular exercise: along with burning calories and brightening your mood, you will be making your lungs and your heart stronger, improving your muscle tone and strengthening your bones. You may also find that your appetite is suppressed after a good workout. Working out on your treadmill will exercise the major muscles and get your heart rate up, which will in turn boost your metabolism and help you lose weight.

So how do you maximize the amount of calories you burn on a treadmill? For weight loss, experts say that you will want to workout for between 30 minutes to an hour each day. You’ll want to check with your doctor before you start this exercise program to find out what you heart rate you should be aiming for. You want to make sure you are working out at the intensity level that’s right (and safe) for you. Many of the treadmills on the market today have heart rate monitors built right in.

If you aren’t able to workout (either walking or running) for so long, start small and work your way up.

It’s also a good idea to engage in interval training, in which you start out at a slower pace and no incline and then increase your speed and incline as you go, cycling through several intervals through the course of your workout. This is a great way to increase your fitness level and endurance in a relatively quick time frame.

To lose weight, you’ll also need to pay special attention to your diet. Don’t allow yourself to get so hungry after your workout that you replace all the calories you burned with post-workout snacks or sports drinks.

You’ll also need to stay consistent with your workout. It’s actually easier to schedule your workout every single day. Write it in each day on your calendar until it becomes as much a part of your routine as brushing your teeth. On that day or two each week when you are not working out, give yourself a special (non-edible) treat: a trip to the bookstore or a leisurely walk in the neighborhood with your kids.

Treadmills are also great for those of us who sometimes feel we simply don’t have the time to work out. You can even watch your favorite TV shows (recorded from earlier in the week, perhaps) while you work out. Some of the new higher-end treadmills on the market today have televisions built right in. Just make sure that you are able to stay focused on a getting in a good workout, too.

Mastering the Art of Weight Loss Motivation

Posted by bestselfhelp on July 24, 2008 None comments

Sometimes the desire to lose weight is just not enough.

It’s nice to think about having toned muscles and flat abs but when you get home from a long hard day’s work, exercise and preparing a healthy meal may be the last thing on your mind. All you really want to do is rest. When this kind of mood sets in, let the motivation tips below help you change your frame of mind.

Exercise motivation tips:

* Have a friend or family member exercise with you to help encourage you to stay on track.

* Think of exercise as a way to reduce some of the stress that life throws at you every day. Think of it as a gift that you give to yourself and a time to get away from the noise and pressures of daily life.

* Keep in mind that the more you exercise, the more energy you will have. Remind yourself that you will actually feel better after you exercise than you would if you sit down and put it off.

* Exercising helps to improve your immune system. If you are dreading cold and flu season because you tend to always be the first to get sick, you can help prevent it from happening next season by exercising and getting in shape.

* Think about your health. Maintaining a healthy weight with proper diet and exercise can help to reduce your risks of stroke and heart attack, what better motivation do you need?

Sometimes it is even harder to stick to a diet plan than it is to exercise. One reason for this is because you have to plan out your meals in advance and this can be difficult. The tips below can help you stay on track.

Tips for Staying Motivated on Your Diet Program:

* Choose a diet plan that is reasonable and realistic. Remember, you need a certain amount of nutrition and vitamins to stay healthy.

* Start out with a simple diet that you can easily implement into your lifestyle. You can always make gradual changes as needed.

* Plan smaller portions of food for each meal. This will take less time to prepare and you won’t feel like you are cheating on your diet when you grab that snack later.

* Use the buddy system to help you stay motivated but do not compare yourself to others. Everyone is different and will reach their goals at different times even when using identical methods.

A healthy diet and exercise program will improve the quality of your health and well-being. You will feel and look better than you ever thought possible. Stay positive and use these weight loss motivation tips to help you lose the extra weight so you can enjoy life to its fullest.

Fucoxanthin Has Scientists Intrigued About This New Fat Burning Ingredient

Posted by globalhealthnews on July 24, 2008 None comments

What is fucoxanthin a How do you even pronounce it? Biologically speaking, fucoxanthin (pronounced few-coe-ZAN-thin) is a carotenoid which is a type of vitamin A that is found in fruits and vegetables, especially those with an orange color. It is extremely plentiful in the brown seaweeds wakame and hijiki giving them their brown color. These seaweeds have been part of the Asian, particularly Japanese, diet for centuries. Almost everyone has heard of beta-carotene, a pigment essential to good vision and also an antioxidant, the most well known source of beta-carotene is of course carrots.

Since 2006, Hokkaido University in Sapporo Japan has been conducting studies on animals using fucoxanthin to see if it helps in fat burning. And in that same year this study was also presented to the National Meeting of the American Chemical Society.

So far it has shown promising results in burning the type of white fat that accumulates around the belly and surrounds the organs. This is the worst kind of fat as it leads to low level inflammation and hormonal dysfunction.

The way fucoxanthin works is that it stimulates a protein called UCP1 which is found in adipose tissue, that whitish-yellow belly fat. It causes fat oxidation which converts that energy to heat. So basically what it does is shrink the fat cells in your belly, and who does not need or want this? It is hypothesized that fucoxanthin’s strong fat burning properties actually increases the body’s metabolism.

Other promising results of these studies have shown that fucoxanthin may reduce glucose levels and there are suggestions that it may also have an anti-tumor effect. It is too early to tell if these promising studies that have been conducted on animals will have the same anti-cancer effects on humans.

In addition, it appears to reduce the levels of bad cholesterol by stimulating DHA production. DHA is an Omega 3 fatty acid found in fish such as salmon.

An unpublished Russian study on human weight loss reports a 20% weight loss increase when dieting is combined with fucoxanthin than just dieting alone without taking the supplement.

Based on these promising studies, many people have already started taking fucoxanthin as a weight loss supplement and people who have not been able to lose any weight are reporting weight loss on this pill. They report no side effects, no stimulant effect or nervous feeling. Fucoxanthin comes in tablet or capsule form and one tablet taken three times a day is the recommended dose.

This strong scientific evidence is extremely promising that this may be the safe, effective fat burning substance we have been longing for. Fucoxanthin stands out from other diet pills in that it is not a stimulant or an appetite suppressant but actually allows your body to work with you in burning fat, or as the scientific community would say, it “upregulates” the expression of UPC1 which may contribute to fat burning. If this is being talked about in medical journals (and it is) then this substance is a serious consideration for fighting obesity by encouraging the body to work with the dieter. Once you see these results, the pain of dieting becomes a pleasure as the weight actually drops off after years of discouragement.

Do not attempt to eat large doses of wakame which contains fucoxanthin because wakame contains iodine and in large doses may cause iodine poisoning which will actually harm your thyroid. It is best to make sure you get your thyroid function monitored while taking this pill. Do not exceed the recommended dosages. The pills that are available have fucoxanthin extracted from the seaweed but some still contain some iodine. Fucoxanthin is sold in pill form and can be ordered over the internet.

Fucoxanthin is sold under the brand name Fuco Prime and can be found at www.FucoPrime.com or Fuco Prime by Nature’s Biology

The Core Fast Weight Loss Principles May Be The Secret To Fat Loss

Posted by thesecret2fatloss on July 23, 2008 None comments

Every weight loss program has its minor differences here and there so it is easy for people to find one that works the best for them. But with all of these different programs, there are some principles that should be present as the foundation for all of these weight loss programs, especially since the majority, if not all, of the weight loss programs available keep advertising that you can lose weight super quick.

My personal belief is based in natural health so I believe that any changes you make, weight loss or anything else, should be done safely, no matter how fast or slow you go about it. So here are the core fast weight loss principles that I believe every weight loss program out there should believe:

Fast Weight Loss Principle #1: Goals are extremely important. Without goals, you will not know where you’re going with your weight loss program. Take the time to plan out on paper (or at least jot down a general idea) the goals you have for losing weight: number of pounds you want to lose, number of inches you want to shed, number of months you feel you can achieve it in.

By doing this and looking at your goals everyday, you will be able to focus so well on your end goal, that your weight loss program will speed by with fantastic results. During any down moments, by focusing daily on your weight loss goal, you will be able to motivate yourself into success!

Fast Weight Loss Principle #2: Monitor your progress. Keep a weight loss journal (or call it what you want) with you everyday. Don’t think of it as a tedious task but instead, focus on the improvements you will be able to see yourself making. Think of it as you are currently writing your weight loss success story that you can look back on and say, “Yes, I did it!”

The things you will want to monitor are the types of foods you eat as well as a rough estimate of the daily calorie intake, which is important for weight loss but not in a “You need to count calories” idea. By making yourself familiar with your daily calorie intake as well as the types of foods you eat, weight loss will become easier as you go on because you will learn what you need to do to lose weight (the specifics can change day by day).

Fast Weight Loss Principle #3: Picture your progress. It may seem silly but simple things like taking note of how your pants fit on day 1 versus day 20 or even taking a picture of yourself at regular intervals can really do wonders to motivate you and keep you going with your weight loss.

If you opt for the picture idea, your weight loss will be very clear to you in those pictures each week or month (go with week instead). So to keep yourself going, ham it up for the camera!

Fast Weight Loss Principle #4: Bottom line, cardio plus strength training are key. Beyond that, just find exercises in both cardio and strength training that fit your liking. If you’re not much for running, then go for swimming or bicycling.

For strength training, it is best to consult a personal trainer to find out the best exercises as well as a variety of exercises for you to use to achieve your weight loss and sculpting goals. With both cardio and strength training, it is important to consult your physician before beginning the physical portion of your weight loss program.

Fast Weight Loss Principle #5: Eat right. Yes, you’ve probably heard that phrase everywhere and there’s a reason why it’s absolutely essential that you make sure you eat right.

Now, each weight loss program will tell you certain things to avoid and certain things to “highlight” but make sure that the weight loss program you choose definitely includes plenty of meats and vegetables. (I can’t imagine that any program would advise you against eating meat and vegetables but you never know.)

The quantities and types of each will, as I said, differ depending on the specific weight loss program you choose but make sure the one you choose does include those two food groups.

As there are many people with different likings, there are also very different weight loss programs that will fit each person’s individual preferences. But it’s wise to make sure that the weight loss program you choose has a balanced foundation with principles that will really help you lose weight quickly and safely.

Is The Low Carb Diet Good or Bad for Your Weight Loss Success?

Posted by fmichaels on July 23, 2008 None comments

In this article I will offer some outside the box thinking towards the question; Are Low Carb Diets Good or Bad for your Weight Loss Success? I will also explain the difference between good carbs and bad carbs. And in closing share with you a new diet that is changing the way we think.

Everybody has heard of a “low carb” diet especially since they are emerging as the newest trend in dieting.

But do they really work? And if so, are they the solution to weight loss that everybody is looking for?

I don’t think so, because most low carb diets have several problems which make losing weight very difficult for the “average” dieter.

For example, if you follow the Atkins diet (a popular low carb program) then the restriction on carbs for the first couple weeks is very severe (by almost any standards).

The Atkins program allows just 20 grams of “net carbs” per day during the first phase of the diet (which usually lasts for 2 weeks).

Just to give you an idea of how few carbs that really is – even a large apple has more than 20 grams of “net carbs”.

This low level of carbs is often too severe for the “average” dieter to tolerate for 2 weeks straight, and in fact eating such a low level of carbs can make a person feel “weak” and “miserable” all day long (because your body needs more carbs than that for energy).

Other low carb diets (such as the South Beach Diet) are not quite as severe as the Atkins Plan, but in my opinion even the South Beach Diet is not as easy to follow as it could be.

Good carbs VS bad carbs

First of all, the technical term for good carbs is complex carbs, and the technical term for bad carbs is simple carbs. Bad carbs (simple) are high glycemic. Good carbs (complex) are low glycemic. The term “glycemic” refers to the amount and speed a food will raise your blood sugar and insulin levels (which leads to fat gain).
“Bad carbs” (simple) are foods like white bread, white rice, pasta and all typical junk food high in sugar.
“Good carbs” (complex) on the other hand are foods such as oatmeal, whole wheat bread, brown rice, and other whole grains.

Does it actually work?

Yes, people have lost weight on a low carb diet. That is the truth. However, bare in mind that people tend to lose a lot of weight early with this method of weight loss because of all of the water they are losing. Due to eating only low carb foods, glycogen is used for energy, and this causes a decrease in water weight. Also bare in mind that limiting carbs is also limiting calories. A decrease in calories often leads to a decrease in weight.

My personal opinion…

As I mentioned before, the low carb diet can lead to weight loss. People have indeed lost weight using it. If the whole low carb foods craze appeals to you, then by all means, give it shot. If the whole theory behind it all seems like something that is right for you, go for it. I want to make that point clear. Some diets fit certain people better, and maybe this one fits you. However, to me the low carb diet is like hopping on 1 leg to get somewhere when you could have just walked. You may still get there, but your method of travel was unnecessary. My personal opinion? I prefer to walk instead of hop. However you get there is completely up to you.

I believe that a successful diet needs to be easy to follow – because that’s the only way that people will stick to the diet and lose weight.

I believe that diets should not make you feel “miserable” and “weak” all day long, because if a diet makes you feel miserable and weak then it’s going to be very difficult for average dieters to adhere to such programs.

I am not saying that all low carb diets are as restrictive as the Atkins Diet is, but I am saying that most low carb diets are so hard to follow that “average dieters” will probably wind up feeling hungry and weak all day long (which is not a good thing for dieting success in my opinion).

I believe that “low carbs” is not the answer to losing weight; since your body needs a reasonable amount of all 3 types of calories to lose weight consistently (protein, carbs, and fat).

The truth is that your body needs a reasonable amount of protein, carbs and fat calories daily to maintain its consistency and balance.

To lose weight quickly you must eat all 3 types of calories in the right proportions, and that’s why most dieters fail. They fail because nobody knows what the right proportions of calories should be.

To begin losing weight fast I recommend using a brand new type of diet never seen before, focusing on “calorie shifting” — since there are no specific “portion limits” at any meal and dieters can eat as much as they need to at each meal. Also, unlimited amounts of certain condiments can be eaten with every meal.

Companies Fight Food Culture

Posted by patbarone on July 23, 2008 None comments

Today, we are fortunate to live in an amazing culture of abundance and wealth. Think about the possibilities around us: a Starbucks on every corner, yoga of every imaginable type, a free-flowing stream of information on the internet, and an endless variety of food.

While some of the abundances we experience can enhance our health, our fixation on food has led the United States into a crisis of obesity. Today, over 65% of America is overweight and approximately 25% is obese.

Think about some of the extremes we’re experiencing. Sugar was once an expensive and hard-to-obtain commodity. It was reserved for feast days and very special occasions. After the scarcity of the Depression and World War II years, it became a staple on Sundays. By the 1950s, dessert every night was common. Today, according to the FDA, the average American consumes 126 lbs. of sugar and approximately 36 lbs. of high fructose corn syrup, a cheaper form of sugar used in soft drinks and commercially baked goods.

Exotic and rich food is readily available everywhere. Billboards scream “eat me” with large seductive pictures. Even the simple ice cream shoppe has complicated their menus with add-ons, stir-ins and layers and layers of sugar in various forms.

Workplace cultures often feature a candy dish on every desk and donuts or bagels at every 10 a.m. meeting. This corporate attitude towards food has a big impact on everyone. After a while, no one questions popping mini candy bars throughout the day, or running the day with great quantities of simple carbs, which only briefly provide energy but pack on the pounds.

Changes to the corporate culture may be perceived negatively by the majority of employees but many companies like Coors, Johnson & Johnson, and McDonnell Douglas have found success with their Corporate Wellness Programs, which often feature educational presentations, health assessments, and even available personal trainers and health coaches.

Business & Health magazine reported some of the following results of corporate wellness programs:

1. Coors reports that their special cardiac rehabilitation program has saved the company $1,390,661 over a six-year period.

2. Johnson & Johnson claims that its Live for Life wellness program saved the company $378 per employee in one year by lowering absenteeism and slowing the rise in the company’s health care expenses.

3. General Electric’s research shows that regular exercisers were absent from work 45 percent fewer days than nonparticipants.

4. Scoular Grain Company in Omaha opened a fitness center for its 600 employees, and the company saved more than $1 million in health care costs in 1989, or about $1,500 per employee.

5. McDonnell Douglas’ employee assistance program has returned more than $4 for every dollar spent helping employees recover from alcohol-related problems.

6. Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Indiana found that over a five-year period, benefit utilization savings of $519 per wellness program participant resulted in a benefit-to-cost ratio of 2.51 to 1.

Clearly, workplace culture has a tremendous impact on the weight of employees. Not only are employees spending more time at work, they are spending less time being active, due to the increased use of computers, email, fax and other general automation.

Given these changes, and the resulting stress many workers report due to economic downturn, companies are turning from birthday cake as a reward to “de-stress” lounges stocked with herbal teas, mini massages, and mile-long hiking trails sculpted around their workplace.

Ultrasonic Liposuction in Newport Beach

Posted by smarro on July 23, 2008 None comments

Ultrasonic Liposuction is a cosmetic surgery for patients with unwanted fat deposits. There are certain risks and benefits associated with this procedure, so we will attempt to touch on how the procedure works.

Newport Beach Ultrasonic Liposuction works up front as a cosmetic surgery and is not covered by insurance. The cost of this procedure can be 30 to 40 thousand dollars out of pocket. Once a qualified surgeon is found and a contract is signed the procedure can be done.

The physician will inject tumesent fluid into the area to be treated. Tumescent fluid is a salt-water, anesthetic and epinephrine solution that swells up the fat tissue prior to suction. It is used to prevent and reduce fluid loss during the fat deposit removal. The ultra sound will loosen up and liquify the fat deposits to also allow for easy removal. A tube called a cannula is passed over the fat cells with the ultra sound and then fat is vacuumed up through the tube.

There are risk to having Newport Beach ultrasionic Liposuction performed, that is why a certified physician should be used. Some of the issues to consider are possible nerve damage, blood clots, seroma cavity and other after effects. The heat associated with the ultrasound may produce a blood clot while the cannula, once removed, can produce seroma cavaties that fill up with body fluids under the skin. Other after effects can be scaring, blistering and skin burns.

With all this in mind the benefits can out weigh the expense and risk for some people. People who have dense fat deposits and require volumes of fat to be removed will benefit the most from ultrasonic liposuction. The fat that is removed is permanent because the body does not create any new fat cells once removed. If there are fewer fat cells inside the body to expand then people will not store as much fat in those areas. Another benefit of this surgery is that it tightens the skin so there is little sagging for a patient to be concerned about. Finally, less fat over the body has a general health effect by itself.

With all things considered it is important to make a careful decision with your physician as to how this procedure could be done. It is important to thoroughly understand how it works, how it would work for you, the benefits it will give you and how you can avoid the risk associated with this procedure.
