Weight Loss & The 3 Things You Must Know

There is an incredible amount of information, books, programs and methods available out there for anyone attempting to lose weight. As a result, two things often occur. They are information overload and confusion. If we stop and think for a few minutes, there are 3 things that we absolutely must know before we embark on our weight loss program.

1/ The most essential step, the step that makes the other aspects of our weight loss program succeed or fail, is to make up your mind. I know, everyone and their mother writes about setting your goals.

This in and of itself does not begin to approach how important this step is. The goal to lose weight and to become physically fit has to be resolute. One must reach down deep inside and form a conviction that this is the single most important issue in our life. The secret here is to create a mindset so powerful that it over rides the already existing programming. Believe it or not, once this is accomplished, the battle is won. Every action that you take, even your missteps, will expand until your goal is achieved.

2/ Everyone is a little different. The approach that works for one person will not necessarily work for you. Here is the truth about dieting: It does not work, not in the long run. If you wish to lose weight and keep it off forever, you must change the way you eat. Changing the way that you eat is not the same as dieting. Dieting is something that you do for a fixed period of time. You can go off your diet (and feel guilty).

Changing the way that you eat is a lifestyle change. It is as it implies, you change your lifestyle, forever. Getting fat does not happen in a vacuum. It is the way that you eat and your lifestyle that allows you to become overweight.

Do your homework and change your diet. Once you make this transition the weight will come off effortlessly. Just as important, you will improve your health and the weight will stay off.

3/ You need physical activity. In order for this to work it is important to establish a regular routine. Get up in the morning and either walk, jog or ride a bicycle. Go swimming or do aerobics. Whatever it is, make a schedule and adhere to it.

The added benefit to exercising regularly is that it will improve your mood and this in turn will give you the strength to continue with your weight loss program.

That is it in a nutshell. Like anything else this takes time. In a little while, with some effort, you will gain momentum and it will become that much easier.

Fast Weight Loss Exercise Program

A fast weight loss exercise program is fairly simple to develop and implement. The real question is, "Can you stick with it long enough to lose weight?"

We all know that exercise is important to maintaining a healthy body as well as a healthy mind. We also know that exercise is an important ingredient in our plan to control our body weight.

There are a variety of fast weight loss plans available. Let's take a look at a fast weight loss exercise program that you can implement immediately. You can use this fast weight loss plan as described or tweak it to fit your individual preferences.

The best fast weight loss exercise program is . . . walking! Are you surprised? Well, let's take a look at why walking is the best of the fast weight loss plans.

Walking is an aerobic exercise. Aerobic means literally "with air" and includes activities that are moderately intense, activities that you can continue for extended periods of time, and activities that use the large muscle groups in our arms and legs.

Jogging, cycling, skiing, and rowing are also forms of aerobic exercise. The reason walking is the best choice is because it can be done by anyone at anytime, anywhere, by ourselves, and with no special equipment. It's simple, invigorating, and effective at assisting with weight loss.

Arguably the most important benefit of walking is that it prepares us mentally for the challenge of weight loss. The most important ingredient in any fast weight loss plan is action. We must take action before any change will occur. Walking is an action that is both simple and easy. The action of walking is a signal to our subconscious that we are ready to include additional actions in our weight loss regimen.

Aerobic exercise offers specific benefits related to weight loss including:

<1> Aerobic exercise burns calories. Most of us discover that we consume less food when we exercise on a regular basis. This combination of exercise and reduced calories results in fast weight loss.

<2> Aerobic exercise burns both carbohydrates and fat during the first 30 minutes. After 30 minutes of aerobic exercise, your body primarily burns fat.

<3> Muscle burns more calories than fat. Aerobic exercise helps to increase muscle mass. Consequently, you will be able consume more calories without gaining weight.

<4> You will find that a moderate amount of aerobic exercise will decrease your desire to eat.

<5> You will also find that with a consistent amount of moderate aerobic exercise your tendency to overeat will decrease. It is well-documented that both stress and depression are reduced as a result of moderate aerobic exercise.

So, there you have it! A fast weight loss exercise program can be structured around moderate aerobic exercise, beginning with walking. And, the great news is that you CAN stick with walking long enough to lose weight.

Now it's up to you. Start right now. Take a walk. That's your first step toward maintaining a healthy body as well as a healthy mind.

Take a look at this fast weight loss exercise program. You can read more articles as well as take a closer look at a highly successful fast weight loss plan. Click here http://www.how2no.com for more info about fast weight loss plans. You can do it!

Operation Weight Loss

Motivation high = Success Guaranteed!

Losing weight is easy. All you need to do is use up more energy than you consume. The science behind weight loss may be straight forward; however, keeping your motivation up during this sometimes lengthy process can be the difficult part.

Making the decision to lose weight and become healthier is relatively easy too. But in order to succeed, your motivation must be high from the very beginning, and it must remain so until your goals have been achieved. We have looked at some ways to do this below. Everyone is different and one motivational method is not going to suit everyone. Choose some ways which may work for you, and then have another up your sleeve for when you need it.

Measuring up

Many people like to see their weight loss coming off in cold hard figures. A good way to do this is to weigh and measure yourself on day one of your new eating and exercise plan. Record the figures in a book, and then regularly weigh and measure over the following weeks and months. The longer you leave between measuring the better, as you'll see more results that way. Whatever you do, don't weigh yourself every day, you'll drive yourself crazy.

For many people, this method would do more harm than good. No weight lost, and they feel completely disillusioned and eat because 'there's no point trying'. A loss on the scales and those same people may think, 'this is so easy, I don't need to be so strict with myself, I think I'll have a sausage roll to celebrate'. You will know if this is you. So you can see where this method is headed?

Rather than weigh and measure yourself, you may aim to fit into a pair of your old size 10 jeans, for example. Try them on every few weeks until they fit. Don't be ridiculous with your 'goal garment'. If you are size 22, don't aim to suddenly fit into a size 8 skirt. It will just seem like too much of a mountain to conquer.

Tiny goals

If you have 20 kilos to lose, break it down into two kilo lots. Chip away, bit by bit, rather than overwhelming yourself with the entire task at hand. Just take it a day at a time, and before you know it, you will have reached your ultimate goal.

A journal

Keeping a journal is an excellent source of motivation for almost everyone. Don't fanatically write down every mouthful you eat, but rather your thoughts and wishes for the future. Start by writing down how you feel while overweight and unfit, and why you want to discover a new and improved you. When your motivation is running low, go back and remind yourself why you are on this mission in the first place. Return to centre and carry on.

Buddy up

Most people will know someone who would also like to be leaner and fitter. Pair up with your best friend, sister, wife or neighbour, and act as each others motivators. Arrange to meet on a regular basis. Call each other when you are feeling weak and can't get the thought of doughnuts out of your head. Go walking with each other. Listen to each other, and reach your goals together.

Bribe yourself

Don't forget, there's nothing wrong with a good old fashioned bribe, if that's what it takes to get you trim and healthy. The bribes can be small, for example, when I lose the next two kilos I will treat myself to a facial. The bribes can be huge. When I reach my goal weight and can run five kilometers non stop, I'll treat myself to a week in Tahiti. Use your imagination, and think about what would motivate you. Remember, whatever your bribe is, by the time you have earnt it, you can enjoy it guilt free.

The breakout

Not everyone can be trusted with this technique, but consider whether it would work for you. The breakout is just that, allowing yourself one meal per week, fortnight or month, when you can have what you want. You still need to set some boundaries though. You may allow yourself only one course to break out on, you may allow yourself only good quality food (no drive-throughs) even if it is fattening, you may stipulate you have to go for an extra long walk the day before or after.

For some people, getting back on the straight and narrow after a breakout would be virtually impossible. If you are one of these people, than this method is not for you. Others will feel rewarded and refreshed and ready for the next leg of their journey.

Visualization

Don't underestimate the power of visualization. Picture yourself how you would like to be - over and over again. Keep this picture in your mind as you are walking, swimming, asking for a tomato juice (when you think you want a sugary soft drink), declining a piece of birthday cake at a party or downing your 10th glass of water for the day. Achieving your goals will require just as much brain power as anything else.

Everyone should talk to their partner, if they have one, about how they can motivate you. That could mean to never mention your new eating and exercise plan, or to act as your drill sergeant throughout the process, or something in between. Either way, it is essential to let them know. The person you love can be a huge help or a massive hindrance if they don't know what you want from them. Remember you can't regain your health and look great, by not doing or eating anything differently. Change requires change.

It's also helpful to remember that you probably didn't pile on a sneaky 25 kilos in a couple of weeks, so don't expect it to be gone in two weeks. It takes time to achieve weight loss If you have any other motivational techniques that you have found work for you, please let us know so we can share them.

Yours in health,

Lose Weight Safely and Naturally

The pharmaceutical companies are constantly working around the clock trying to come up to with the latest pill to lose weight. They will launch a massive advertising campaign with promises of losing 60lbs in a month and sadly a lot of people fall for these fraudulent marketing tactics. In reality those pills can be very dangerous to your health and do not promote long term weight loss. You can lose weight naturally and safely without any pills or diet supplements. The real secret is food.

The power of food is often underestimated and it should not be. The types of food you eat, the portions, and when you eat can trigger your body's natural ability to burn the excess fat and lose weight naturally.

Fruits and vegetables are the best alternatives to high calorie and sugary sweets. An apple contains natural sugars that will satisfy your body's craving for sugar and you will benefit from the vitamins and proteins which will give your body an extra boost of energy. Next time you're craving a chocolate bar, pick up a fruit instead you'll forget all about the chocolate once you're done.

The size of your portion is a powerful way to help promote natural weight loss. Instead of having a 24oz steak with a mountain of mashed potatoes, have a 12oz steak with a smaller serving of mashed potatoes. You will be amazed at how quickly you can burn the fat by simply reducing the amount of food you eat during a meal and you will not feel stuffed at the end. If you are still feeling hungry after a meal, have a fruit.

It is important to eat a minimum of 5 times a day. Your body needs energy all day in order to burn calories. Always have a snack between meals to avoid feeling hungry. A healthy snack can be a yogurt, a fruit, nuts or a granola bar. This will also help you to control your appetite during the meals instead of stuffing yourself with a big portion.

It is easy to lose weight naturally and safely by eating simply eating right, and making a small change to your regular lifestyle you will continue to lose weight and keep the weight off.

Fat And Weight Loss Through Getting Rid Of Parasites

Fat And Weight Loss. Why Has It Not Worked?

To lose fat and weight, many of us would have tried our utmost and yet we would not have achieved the desired results. It certainly may not be for want of trying. Often, we try too hard. At times we get the results but it does not last long. We cannot seem to keep off the fat in the long term. If the usual recommendations including exercise, pills, special diet, lotions and so on have not worked for us, perhaps we need to take a totally different approach. It may be appropriate for us to find out what caused the fat in the first place. Could it be due to something in our system that is making it difficult for us to shed off the unwanted fat? Could it be due to some harmful plaque or bacteria in our stomach, intestines and colon that act as parasites that is causing the problem? The Japanese have specially formulated drinks that contain healthy bacteria which have been reported to help our digestive system. Going by the popularity of such drinks, there must be some value in it. The only Japanese to keep away from it would be Sumo wrestlers as they thrive on being fat!

What Harm Can Parasites Do?

How do these parasites get into our bodies? The answer probably lies in the food and water that we consume. It could be due to poorly cooked food and food cooked under unhygienic conditions. Raw or poorly cooked fish especially pickled salmon, trout, white fish etc., contain larvae which after 5-6 weeks mature into adult worms. The worms can lay thousands of eggs and produce chemicals as well as toxins that can even affect our brains particularly the hypothalamus. This is the gland that controls our hunger and thirst. It has been stated that parasites prevent the body from absorbing nutrients from the food we consume. What is even more serious is that these parasites can cause damage even after they die. When they die, they become mineralized like a fossil causing painful swelling and blockages within our body. This has harmful effects particularly on our digestive system and colon. Clogged bowels make it difficult for us to excrete our wastes. As a result, there is plaque build-up which provides fertile conditions for the growth of parasites.

How Do We Get Rid Of The Parasites?

For those of us who have tried everything else but have not succeeded thus far, perhaps we should consider whether parasites are the root cause of our fat and weight problem. Apart from herbal capsules, there are also drugs, health drinks and other remedies which could help to get rid of the parasites. Apple cider vinegar which has been hailed as a natural remedy for a number of ailments may also prove helpful. Before you decide on what is best for you, it would be beneficial if you could get the full details on the parasites that are behind the problem of excess fat and weight that many of us are battling with daily.

In this regard, you may find this site useful.

Getting rid of parasites in the system could be the answer for those who have tried everything else to lose excess fat and weight but failed. How can you get rid of parasites and finally be able to shed the unwanted fat and weight? Learn more here!

 

Fat Loss 4 Idiots - The Last Review

I am sure you have heard a lot about Fat Loss 4 Idiots, one of the latest weight loss systems. I am also sure you might be a bit fed up with the many opinions and reviews available on the Internet about the fat Loss 4 Idiots System. In the review of this weight loss system I am going to try to give you the latest information based mainly in objective and deeply researched reports.

My conclusions after long and deep research about this system to burn the fat are:

  1. If you stick to the plan, if you follow carefully the detailed instructions the Fat Loss 4 Idiots provides you, it is a sure fact that you will lose weight. I am saying that you have to follow religiously the system, without cheating even a single day.

  2. The first promise when you enter Fat Loss 4 idiots website states that you will likely lose around 9 pounds in a period of 11 days. These statistics are not the average, on the other side, most of the population will surely lose a bit less weight in the 11 days period, so please bear in mind that the main promise you find in this fat burning system website is based only in few individuals that really lost 9 pounds in a 11 days period, although the average Joe will lose a bit less weight in the same period.

  3. Any one that is looking to lose a lot of weight in a short period of time should simply avoid this system. It is well known in research and medicine laboratories that losing a lot of weight in a short period of time is something very dangerous and risky for your health. Only when the weight is lost in a regular way, during a long period of time, the body tissues and the whole systems of the body have the proper amount of time to recover and return to a former good shape, after the weight loss.

  4. There are thousands of happy users of Fat Loss 4 Idiots system, and all those individuals that used the program that I am reviewing successfully can not be wrong.

Again, if you stick to the plan and follow carefully the detailed instructions of this program to burn the excess body fat, there is no reason why you wont lose all the extra weight you are willing to get rid of, in a reasonable period of time with out any risk for your health.

The New Phentramin-D Weight Loss Pill

Phentramin was first released as an alternative to the prescription weight loss pill, Phentermine. With all of the reports of the hash side effects associated with the prescription drug, Phentramin was developed to provide consumers with an effective weight loss alternative that is available without the prescription and the side effects. Over the past few years Phentramin has proven itself by providing customers with consistent weight loss results. With its great success, Phentramin has since been replaced with an even more effective solution, Phentramin-D.

Phentramin-D takes the same results from the previous version to the next level. Unlike Phentramin, it is more of a chemical make up than an herbal one. The original version contains herbal ingredients that

very few may find attractive. This is due to the herbal ingredients being less potent and less effective. With its herbal consistency, Phentramin is usually a lot cheaper then Phentramin-D.

The new Phentramin-D has been scientifically tested and developed to mimic the effects produced by the prescription pill. The new version, 'Phen-D', uses a combination of 1,3,7-Trimethylxanthine and 1,3-Dimethypentylamine Hydrochloride as its main active ingredients. These two compounds are known to be cAMP or "cyclic AMP" boosters. Their main function is to raise your body's natural energy levels. Another important ingredient found in the new weight loss pill is a Sympathomimetic Amine.

The Sympathomimetic Amine is responsible for stimulating the signals within the brain that control the body's natural production of Norepinephrine. Once this scientific process occurs, your body reacts to it with increased levels of metabolism. On top of this, it applies a powerful appetite suppressant that puts a stop to unwated food cravings. Together, Phentramin-D's new and improved, pharmaceutical-grade ingredients work to help you burn fat and lose weight fast.

Discover more in-depth information on Phentramin D, including its scientific make up, common side effects, and Phentramin user reviews at http://www.buy-phentramin-d.com.
