How to Truly Succeed in Losing Weight Once and For Good

June 5, 2020 Comments Off

Save your money and stop buying the next best weight loss product to hit the market. I’ll let you in on a secret about weight loss and what it really takes to lose weight and keep the weight off for good! After you read this article you will then understand what it really takes and you will want to take massive action.
Here is the straight up truth that you need to hear and let this sink in for a minute once you read it. “Products do not make you lose weight, you do.” No matter how many products you have, they alone are not going to make you lose weight. You have to apply the work to get the results that you want. Even in a society of complete convenience and ease there is still no miracle product that is going to vanish the weight away like magic (without harming you in some way down the road).
In order to really lose weight you just need a plan and consistent course of ‘s all! If you want to use the product along with your plan and course of action, then so be it. It may even prove beneficial. Give it a chance to succeed and be patient with your results.
You see, it is the action that you take and the choices you make day in and day out that defines who you are as a person. This includes the choices you make when you eat food and how often you work out and of course the intensity of your workouts. Changing the pattern of your choices to start making better choices is how you are going to lose weight. This takes time. But even if you take little steps each day, they are still steps towards your overall weight loss goals. Remember that success is not going to happen overnight so you just have to stick with it over time.
The hardest part of succeeding with a weight loss plan is sticking with it long enough to see results. Trust me when I say that the workouts will get easier and the food much tastier. Trust in your own knowledge to create a good plan and one that will in fact take you to your weight loss goals, or hire a trainer to create a plan for you. Either way, when you trust that the plan will work, then it is just up to you to take action each day and take steps towards your plan and goals.
This is where your motivation and desire to succeed has to take over everything. Make your goals in weight loss your priority and be excited to attack them every day. Remind yourself everyday why you want to reach those goals. Before you know it, those small steps will have turned into major strides and you and others will begin to notice.
Product or no product, it doesn’t matter. With a will and desire to succeed anything is possible. Just do something, and do it now!
“Take the first step in faith. You don’t have to see the whole staircase. Just take the first step.” – Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.…

The Weight Loss Plateau – What is it and How to Get Around It

May 27, 2020 Comments Off

If you listen to some experts you will find that there is a way that the body works where you get to a certain place in any weight loss plan and you are not able to lose any further weight. This is known as the weight loss plateau and can be a serious detriment to people trying to lose weight beyond a certain point. In this article I’m going to talk with you further about how to go beyond that weight loss plateau and lose that extra weight.
The human body is able to achieve just about anything, even things that are outside of the realm of things that science can understand. There is a willpower that athletes and highly trained individuals have which can take that person beyond an extreme point. This can even happen in the average person, for example, if they experience a severe accident of any type and are unable to walk. Those people are usually able to get to the point where they can walk again by going beyond what is normal. Many people look at these actual physical reactions to the body’s predicament as unfavorable. They consider the weight loss plateau as one of these situations, but it can be overcome.
In normal vocabulary a ‘plateau’ describes a situation where you cannot go beyond a certain point. In weight loss this plateau is a situation where your body is not able to lose further weight because you have reached the end, for the last tolerance that your body can achieve; for the method that you’re using to lose weight. Normally what happens is that your body adjusts its own metabolic rate to the situation that you have developed (using the weight loss, and/or exercise program that you’re working with). Many times you will find that diet plan will not even tell you about this plateau, because they don’t want you to know that you might get to that point. But there are ways that you can counteract your own body’s tolerance for the plan that you are working with to go beyond the plateau.
Your body and its metabolism likes to work within a pattern of natural adaptability. Your body likes to stay within that pattern, and when you change that pattern your body will adapt and try to maintain this new pattern that you present to it. So once you have followed a diet plan for some period of time, your body has adjusted to that, and eventually your body will fall into that pattern. Your body will not want to adapt or go further in achieving weight loss using that plan. So what you need to think about doing is tricking your metabolism, but without doing any harm to your body. What you will do is tell your metabolism that it’s time to follow a new pattern, so that you can lose further weight.
What are the best ways for tricking your body’s metabolism safely so that it will follow a new pattern and let you lose more weight? Here are some valuable ways that you can do that:
1. Adjust the time period between when you eat. As your body’s internal clock and digestive system gets changed, to follow this new eating pattern, it will again trick your body’s metabolism, allowing you to lose further weight in the diet or meal plan that you are working with. You can use anything such as changing the actual schedule of when you eat, or by adding more smaller meals. The main idea here is that your tricking the body into burning this food off faster because it’s happening at a different pace and you are then able to overcome the plateau.
2. Try adding strength training to your exercise program. As you are increasing the amount of exercise, the difficulty of exercise, or you are changing your exercise. These new movements are targeting different muscle areas which are causing your body to re-adapt to these new changes and your body will be busy adapting to those changes. It will lose track of the old pattern that it used to follow, allowing you it to switch to a new pattern, where more weight loss can begin. So changing up your exercise regimen: including strength training and/or adding strength training may do the trick.
Just keep in mind that one of these ideas might work for you and not for someone else, or that you may have to combine each of these two techniques to get beyond the plateau. Try one at a time to see if you can go beyond your plateau. If you cannot, then think about combining them. The most important point is to find a method that works for you; that works well, and consistently for your metabolism. Once you find …

The 5 Most Popular Weight Loss Ingredients You Must Know

May 14, 2020 Comments Off

To help you catch up on the growing trend of weight loss, I have compiled a list of the 5 most natural weight loss ingredients and nutrients that you must absolutely find in the ingredients list of your favorite diet pills.
Hoodia Gordonii
Although Hoodia Gordonii plant has only recently been recognized for its appetite suppression characteristics, this rare South African cactus has been used by the local San tribe for generations to reduce their hunger when traveling long distances in the hot desert. Scientists have recently studied the plant and located the active ingredient P57 responsible for such attribute. It has since then been marketed as a strong appetite suppressant in herbal natural weight loss supplements. Hoodia is one of the most potent weight loss ingredients.
Acai Berry
After recent research conducted on this Amazonian fruit, it has been found that this Brazilian fruit contains antioxidants, amino acids and essential healthy fats known as Omegas. It has since then been featured in many media networks, including the Oprah Show. Acai berry mainly acts as a powerful antioxidant as it cleanses the body from harmful toxins. It helps losing weight and feeling energetic as well.
Cayenne Pepper
Also known as Red Hot Chili Pepper, is a spicy vegetable used in cuisine and in natural treatments. Cayenne pepper also acts as a fat burner due to Capsaicin, a chemical compound which can burn more calories by boosting the metabolic rate of the body and naturally increasing its temperature. Capsicum is also known for many other health benefits including reduction in cholesterol level.
Green Tea Extract
It is a more potent form of green tea. Most commonly used in Chinese medicine, this plant has the ability to burn more fat by increasing metabolism. It is also rich in Vitamin C and Vitamin E. However, it is often mixed with a high quantity of caffeine in some herbal products, which makes it almost ineffective.
Resveratrol
Harvard University lately released a clinical study which shows that Resveratrol, a compound found in grapes has the ability to fight cancer, delay aging and facilitate fat loss. It is often believed that this compound, also found in red wine, confirms the French Paradox, which suggests that French people undergo less risks of heart diseases and live longer because of their indulgence in red wine. However, it must also be understood that, in order to benefit from Resveratrol, one has to drink more than 1000 bottles of red wine per day.…

11 Reasons Why Weight Loss is Difficult For You

May 7, 2020 Comments Off

Some of the most common reasons why you can’t lose weight are cited hereunder:
1. You cannot calculate — even roughly — the calories you consume. You severely underestimate them:
– you eat bigger portions than what you are supposed to
– you eat a lot of snacks while ignoring their caloric contribution
– you ignore the caloric value of many cannot even imagine that a cookie might have about 200 calories so why not eat 5-10 of them after a workout of 300 cal?
– you consume a lot of liquid calories that escape your control. Things like: smoothies, refreshments, milk shakes, juices, glamorous coffees, energy and sport drinks, alcoholic beverages, cocoa milk etc, add many hidden calories.
2. You overestimate the calories burned via various people burn 300-400 cal. and then they consume 1000 cal to replace the lost glycogen. There are people who exercise every day but struggle with obesity on a continuous basis.
3. You do not know how to calculate your maintenance caloric often overestimate it.
4 You do not get adequate sleep. As a result your ghrelin and stress hormones are elevated and you feel more hungry.
5. You are under constant stress. As above, your stress hormones — cortisol, adrenaline etc — will reach high levels together with your feeling of hunger.
6. Maybe your metabolism is impaired due to hypothyroidism or other cause.
7. You cannot control emotional use the food to feed your emotions and not your body.Learn to distinguish between them.
8. If you take drugs like steroids or antihistaminic, it will be difficult to control your appetite.
9. If you avoid breakfast it will be a daunting task to lose weight. The same is valid when most of the calories are consumed later in the day.
10. When you eat few and big meals it’s more difficult to lose weight. Try instead to eat lighter meals more frequently.
11.Whatever you do you are not going to lose weight if you consume a lot of simple,processed carbs. Minimize their consumption and you will increase your odds a lot.
To your health!

Losing Weight Whilst Eating Out

May 3, 2020 Comments Off

Losing weight tends to pose a considerable challenge to those of us who have a lifestyle which involves frequent visits to restaurants. Dining out has gone from being a rarity to almost becoming a twice weekly norm for a huge number of people. And when we are not eating out, we’re calling up for a take-away and serving up food which frequently tends to be greater in both fatty content and portion size.
Losing weight becomes more difficult when your lifestyle is such that you eat in this way. Restaurant portion sizes tend to be bigger. Not only that they tend to have more accompaniments, like warm bread rolls and butter, creamy sauces, appetizers and desserts, not to mention the alcohol which you are more likely to partake in as well. Thus there are three very big reasons why eating out makes it more difficult for you to lose weight:
Larger quantities = more calories
Fattier foods = more calories
Adding alcohol into the mix = more calories
You cannot get away from the fact that if you want to lose weight, you have to consume fewer calories or burn more of calories or do both. If you want to lose weight successfully you are therefore presented with a pretty straight forward choice; you could change your lifestyle and eat out less, and order less meals to take out too. Or you can learn new ways in which to deal with this matter of dining out.
Most restaurants these days give the dieter a really good helping hand. Many of them draw your attention to their healthier options, or are more than happy to lower the fat content or provide small portions. I have always said that if you eat out a lot it should in fact be easier to lose weight; all you have to do is to learn to ask for the amount and types of food which is good for you. You don’t have to buy the food or cook it. All you have to do is order your meal and eat it! Surely that should make losing weight a whole lot easier?
But this doesn’t seem to be the case. More and more people are putting on weight and even becoming obese. Losing weight seems to become more and more difficult. The problem is not a lack of availability of low calorie food options; the problem is more centered between the ears; if you are overweight and do not want to be, and yet you do not seem able to lose weight, there is often a conflict between what you want to do (eat all those fatty, delicious, sweet food items) and what you know you should do (say “no thank you”).
To lose weight successfully you have to get your mind around how you see food, how you think about food and how you feel about food. Successful weight loss comes from within. Your own mental attitude requires a certain amount of refocusing so that you can become that slender person who automatically orders the right thing in restaurants, and says “no thank you” to the second or third glass of wine or to the dessert waiter.
This is why weight loss hypnosis mp3s are so very effective in assisting people to successfully lose weight. Hypnosis provides access to your subconscious mind, the part which knows what to do and how to do it; the part which acts instinctively and automatically. Thus if you really want to lose weight, you can get your mind around your lifestyle and habits with the help of weight loss hypnosis mp3 downloads. Losing weight becomes so much easier for you with the help of hypnosis.…

3 Things That Will Not Help You Lose Weight Rapidly and Safely

April 13, 2020 Comments Off

You probably have seen those wonder drugs advertisements promising you weight loss of more than two pounds in a week without the need to exercise. Are you a victim of misleading rapid weight loss methods? Read on and find out if you are:
Diet Pills
If you ever took diet pills, you probably saw the effects of rapid weight loss on the scales but somehow, you felt and even looked the same way. The only change you felt was that you had less energy to do your usual activities. Once you discontinued the pills, you ballooned back to your old weight just as easily as you lost the pounds. The reason is that the substances in the diet pills you took only caused you to dehydrate; they did not actually remove the unnecessary fat that needed to be removed. Once you regained the lost water, you went back to where you started.
Fast Track Diets
A fast track diet is a diet that seems convincing, but very untrue with its logic. The common fast track diet is one that makes you eat less or eat only a single kind of food for a set period of time — for instance, you are instructed to eat only bananas for a few weeks or take only cucumbers or water just to ease your hunger. This kind of diet only endangers your health.
A proper diet is composed of many kinds of food served in balanced portions. The body needs a lot of nutrients from a lot of sources. The best fast track diet programs are the ones that regulate your calorie intake based on your lifestyle and will not make you feel deprived of food. A diet is more realistic if it says that you should eat often, but less in terms of portions. This way you will not have hunger pangs that will only have you binge-eating after. This of course should be complemented with exercises to achieve rapid weight loss.
Slimming Soap
This is a great idea, only if the slimming soap weighed at least 5 pounds, as you can get a good workout as you scrub yourself clean. Picking up the soap now and then would be equivalent to some form of weight training. Seriously, though, how can slimming soaps magically extract the excess fat from your body from without and not from within?
Keep in mind, proper food intake complemented by sweaty exercises are the routes taken to arrive at a slimmer body. You can keep it that way for as long as you like or slack off a little from time to time. Once you become used to managing your weight through proper diet and exercise, you won’t even have the time of day to even read the hype about those ridiculous methods or products.…

Weight Loss Basics – Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)

March 25, 2020 Comments Off

(Eleventh in a Series)
Metabolism – Converting Food Into Energy
As covered in the Tenth Article in this series, the body needs fuel and oxygen to operate, and the process by which the body changes the food you eat into energy and internal building material is called metabolism (from the Greek metabole “change”).
This conversion is achieved by a complex biochemical process, where calories from carbohydrates, fats or proteins are chemically combined with oxygen to form cellular building blocks while also releasing the energy your body needs to function.
Let’s take a closer look.
Catabolism and Anabolism
Our food consists of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, usually in the form of large, complex molecules. The body cannot build muscle, nor can it maintain organs, with the proteins it consumes, but must first break them down into amino acids, which are then combined to form proteins the body can use as building blocks.
Exergonic Reactions
An exergonic chemical reaction is one where large molecules (such as food) are broken down into smaller molecules with the release of energy. The word comes from the Greek, ex- out, ergon work, meaning energy (work) is released; energy, of course, is most commonly measured by the work it can perform.
This process is also known as Catabolism (Greek, cata- down, ballein to throw).
Endergonic Reactions
An endergonic reaction is one where new proteins are built from amino acids, and is a process that requires energy. The word, again, is from the Greek, en- in, ergon work, meaning it takes in-uses-energy.
This process is also known as Anabolism (Greek, ana- up, ballein to throw).
So, depending on which way the “throw” is made, down for breaking down and releasing energy, or up for building up and using energy, it’s either Catabolism or Anabolism.
Combined, Catabolism and Anabolism make up Metabolism (Greek root, meta- along with, among, ballein to throw).
And the messenger service which carries released energy from the point of catabolic extraction to areas of need is called ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate, an intermediate molecule capable of storing large amounts of energy in its chemical bonds for relay to anabolic processes or other areas of energy needs such a muscle contraction.
Basal Metabolic Rate
Also called Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR), BMR indicates the amount of energy used by the body while at rest in a neutrally temperate environment (too hot or too cold places additional energy requirements on the body), in a post-absorptive state-meaning the digestive system is also at rest, which usually requires about twelve hours of fasting.
The energy consumed in this state of rest is to fuel the basic (basal) needs of the organism, such as the heart, the lungs, the brain, and the rest of the nervous system, the liver, kidneys, the sex organs, muscles, and skin.
During any given day, the basal life processes (BMR) use about 70% of the body’s total energy requirement, the digestive processes use 10%, and the remaining 20% goes to power our physical activities.
Of the 70% used by BMR, the liver uses 27%, the brain 19%, the heart 7%, the kidneys 10%, skeletal muscles 18%, and other organs 19%.
Knowing how much work the liver has to perform constantly, that’s hardly surprising. It is surprising though that the heart, which never ever rests, uses only 7%-a very efficient muscle, that.
BMR Measurement
An accurate measurement of BMR is a complex process that involves a gas analysis through either direct or indirect calorimetry (the measurement of quantities of heat)-don’t try this at home.
A rough estimation of BMR can be made through an equation using age, sex, height, and weight. Many online tools are available using these factors to calculate your BMR. Use them.
BMR can also be estimated by the determining the amount of lean tissue that makes up your body. Lean tissue at rest, whether male or female, burns roughly 16 calories per pound per day, so once lean mass is determined and multiplied by 16, you’d have the basal caloric need for that person.
Why Do You Care?
That takes us back to our old friend 1LTD, the First Law of Thermodynamics. To lose weight you need to burn more calories than you consume; and in order to establish exactly how many calories you burn during any given day, you need to account for BMR, which is 70% of that amount.
The proud owner of a body containing 125 pounds of lean mass would have a BMR of roughly 2,000 calories. Another 300 or so calories are spent by the digestive system. The rest is physical activity; say 600 calories depending on what you do.
This person would burn 2,900 calories a day, so in order to lose weight he or she would have to consume less than 2,900 calories. 1LTD.
