The Secrets to Stomach Fat Loss

May 31st, 2011 § 0

Our stomach can either be or greatest asset or paramount embarrassment. When stomach fat gets to the point that it hangs over the top of your pants or even looks a little bit flabby is when this fat is in excess, is an embarrassment, and something needs to be done about it. Following any of these fad diets that promise rapid weight loss in short periods of time is not the answer. In fact, this is one of the worst things you can do for your body, especially your belly fat.

Most diets, today, focus on serious calorie cuts. What happens, when you cut calories in this manner, is that your body goes into starvation mode. Think back to the days where the human race could not just run to the grocery store for dinner; they days when we had to fight for every meal. Well, our bodies are intuitive enough to know if it needs to hoard food or burn it.

When your body is not getting enough fuel (calories) then it assumes that it is nearing some sort of fast or starvation period. So, at this point, what your body does is store these few calories as fatty pockets throughout the body; the main place the body stores fat for future use is in the stomach. Over time this causes that pouch to get larger and larger, which makes it harder and harder to lose.

It doesn’t matter how large your tummy might be, or how hard you have tried to lose it, but the right way to lose it. As you can see, cutting calories is not the right way, well not the calorie cuts that come close to starvation. If you are eating more than 1800-2000 calories a day, you probably do need to look at cutting back, but never less than 1800 calories.

While calories are important, want you are eating is much more important. If you are eating the right foods you will be more satisfied, will suffer from fewer cravings, and will naturally begin burning excess fat without even working that hard. Think of the foods we ate before grocery stores were around, meats, fruits, vegetables – natural foods.

These are the foods that help burn fat and provide proper amounts of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats that your body needs. As if this isn’t enough, your body even knows what to do with these foods and can break them down much more efficiently than the processed foods that most people fill their diets with today. Now, don’t get your hopes up that you will have flat stomach within a matter of a couple of weeks; losing this excess fat take time.

If you focus on eating the right foods, proper portion sizes, and frequently throughout the day, you will find that the fat begins to disappear. Over time you will notice that your belly fat is less noticeable. You may not see muscles protruding yet, but in time, and with a proper exercise routine, you will. Point is, if you want a fit, lean body, you need to focus on smart lifestyle choices rather than the quick and easy.

If you are serious about not only changing your body weight, but working toward a firmer, flatter tummy, I recommend grabbing your free copy of The Belly Fat Expose and learning the truth about belly fat and what it takes to claim your six pack abs from http://claimyoursixpackabs.com/

5 Secrets to Lose Fat: You Cannot Miss This!

May 25th, 2011 § 0

5 Secrets Unveiled.

Secret#1: Building Muscle Mass for Burning Fat.

Practice strength training for building lean muscles that will gradually help you to burn fat. By adding these muscles, you would also be adding potent tissues that help in burning fat. Muscle tissues are metabolically very active in the body, and therefore you must make sure that you are building as much muscles as possible. Studies have proved for an added pound of lean muscle, you actually burn 35-50 calories.

Secret#2: Lean Protein Should Be a Part of your Diet.

Always remember to include lean proteins to your diet at each and every meal. By including adequate proteins, you would be keeping the nitrogen levels higher, which in turn, would support muscle growth and repair. There are various sources of proteins, such as black beans, albacore tuna, protein powder, cottage cheese (non-fat version), soy products and protein bars..

Secret#3: Cardio can be Fun and Effective.

Cardio is considered to be one of the best exercises to lose fat the easy way. There are various options for you, but that does not make cardio the ultimate. You must also concentrate on other forms of exercises as well. If you are getting bored with repeated exercise forms, cardio can be fun when you have good company; you can run for miles and not get bored.

Secret#4: Do not cut out Calories Drastically.

Counting calories sound fine, but do not take any drastic step to lose fat. Drastic weight loss to lose weight can result in problematic issues with the metabolism of the body and the muscle mass. When you are losing weight quickly, you would have to monitor your weight very strictly. Whether it is just water weight or muscle mass/body fat. Muscles happen to be the most potent tissues of the body for burning extra calories and fat. It can also be called as the furnace of the body, and you would want it to be protected. When a person loses weight as a result of crash diet, the lean muscle mass of the body is actually cannibalized and the person would lose some active tissues to keep the body leaner.

Secret#5: Losing Liquid Calories to Lose Fat.

There are many liquids that are very high in sugar content, such as soft drinks and packed fruit juices. These drinks can be extremely harmful for the body and for the weight loss menu. Hence, avoid these foods.

At http://losefattheeasyway.com/, you will come across some of the most effective exercise tips that would allow you to burn fat. These exercises can be performed at home without any foreign aid. Performed in very little space, these exercise forms are perfect for everyone.

13 Secrets to Staying Young: How to Reverse the Signs of Aging

April 13th, 2011 § 0

When I was younger I couldn’t wait to grow up. Yet now, slightly older and slightly wiser this focus has shifted more towards reversing any signs of ageing, staying young and increasing longevity. Peter Pan had the right idea, staying young forever!

I’m not about to start climbing mountains in a never-ending search for the fountain of youth, nor am I going to start spending my hard-earned money on crazy creams and serums that promise the world and deliver nothing more than oily skin and a really convincing marketing campaign. You shouldn’t have too either. By following my 13 steps to a younger, more youthful YOU – longevity is right at your fingertips!

1. Laugh Often

Life doesn’t always have to be doom and gloom. Why on earth would we want to extend it if you weren’t enjoying it? That just wouldn’t make sense! So, how about taking the time out to laugh and enjoy life. Laughing boosts dopamine levels in the brain (the feel good hormone), whilst assisting in detoxifying cortisol (the stress hormone – often linked to excess weight). Not only will you feel good, but its going to help to rid you of stress and anxiety, making it far easier and MORE FUN to achieve your goals.

2. Avoid Processed Foods

Processed foods have been altered from their natural state, generally for convenience. This often involves the addition of chemicals, preservatives and sugars. Your body wasn’t designed to eat these sorts of things! By making the choice to consume whole foods in their natural state, you are feeding yourself essential nutrients, as well as feeding yourself with foods that the body is more able to digest and process. Furthermore, your body won’t have the need to store those nasty toxins, from the processed foods, in your fat cells – No one wants that!

3. Break the Breakfast Rules

Why on earth would you turn to a cardboard packet laced with sugar to set your metabolism up for the day? That blood sugar spike will most certainly see you come down in a BIG way as early as mid morning; leaving you feeling foggy, lacking concentration and worse still – craving more sugar! It also programs your brain for a day of fat storage – bummer! Instead, try consuming some protein with your breakfast, not only will it fire up your metabolism first thing, it’s going to program you for a day of fat burning (win!) and leave you feeling full and satisfied – ready to take on the world. Guaranteed you will be able to achieve anything and get a whole lot more out of your day.

My favourite breakfast – A nice bit of tender lamb and few spoonfuls of cashew butter…YUM!

4. Choose Your Choices!

Whose body is it? Yours! Whose goals are you trying to achieve? Yours! Are you sensing a pattern here? So how come, when it comes to peer pressure at a social gathering you’re willing to idly accept what others want you to eat? Only you are in control of what you put into your mouth – it’s ok to say NO to processed foods/desert/wine/that second helping – especially if it gets you closer to where you want to be. In saying that, it’s also ok to treat yourself every now and then. You just need to understand and know the difference, and take the time to enjoy your treat!

5. Don’t Fear Fat!

Ok, you may want to sit down – I’m going to rock the boat a bit here. “You need to consume fat to lose fat” – What? Yes, you do! Not everyone is trying to lose weight, that’s not what I’m talking about, I’m talking about fat loss. Firstly, lets understand what fat is. Fat is toxins stored in your fat cells, that the body has been unsuccessful at detoxing and subsequently had to store. So, why do you need to eat fat to assist in getting rid of it? Well, consuming good fats is vital for hormone production. By consuming saturated fats (particularly from an ORGANIC animal source) you are on your way to healthy cell membranes; healthy heart, liver, lung and kidney function as well as assisting the immune system, building healthier bones and assisting the body achieve optimal natural detoxification.

6. Colour Really Suits You.

I don’t know about you, but I get really excited when I sit down to a luscious colourful salad or a vibrant plate of veggies – and there is good reason why! The more vibrant and rich your vegetables are in colour the more jam-packed they are with bioflavanoids, a type of antioxidant. By consuming a diet high in antioxidants, you are assisting the body in fighting off free radical damage and signs of ageing. So, not only are veggies great but they really do keep you youthful.

7. Superfoods Really are Super!

If you decide to follow the list of secrets, implementing them one at a time, then this is one of the first ones that will guarantee success! (Well they are all pretty important but this is a really good and easy one!) Superfoods are jam-packed with nutrients. They are ancient foods that are unprocessed, often raw and they are so nutrient dense, that it is likely that just by consuming one (really yummy) smoothie, you are going to have given your body more essential nutrients in one hit than it would normally get in a month. Sounds crazy doesn’t it?!? I guarantee it’s true. By fuelling your body with superfoods, you will experience energy that you never though was possible; you’re going to be able to get more done, have more mental clarity and your body will naturally start to detox toxins that have been built up and stored for years. So go on, have a smoothie – Just one a day, it will taste great and your body will love you for it!

8. Educate yourself

With an ever-increasing busy life it’s easy to make excuses – whether it be poor time or lack of knowledge about a topic. It’s all about prioritizing and making it work for you. Even just 15 minutes a day researching something that is important to you, or something you have always wanted to know about is going to assist in improving your memory and brain function, and you’re going to learn some nifty advice! By working to improve your brain function, you’re going to have a longer serving memory for years to come, ever heard the term use it or lose it? Well there you go! Still need some more persuasion? Through self-education, you will inevitably feel a sense of achievement when you learn something new and you will no doubt feel more mental clarity, which in turn will assist in detoxing the stress in your life – a definite win!

9. Chocolate. Yes, Chocolate!

That’s right, chocolate definitely plays a roll in achieving a younger more youthful YOU! Here’s the deal though, it has to be dark chocolate – not that stuff that you get from the supermarket full of sugar. Now, back to why chocolate is so GREAT and how it makes you FEEL GOOD. Chocolate contains PEA (Penylethylamine) a chemical associated with feelings of optimism, not only a powerful mood enhancer, it increases mental focus and it is also known to suppress the appetite; assisting in weight control. Another great reason to eat chocolate is that it’s loaded with therapeutic doses of the nerve relaxing magnesium. Magnesium is a great mineral both the heart and the brain health.

10. Eat Less

Repeat after me, “The less you eat, the more you live, the more you get to eat.” This is your new mantra. Unfortunately we appear to have grown up in a society where it was expected that we cleared our plate every meal, I was most certainly told as a kid that if I didn’t clear my plate, I couldn’t leave the table… or worse, I couldn’t have desert! These days, portion sizes in restaurants are astronomical, and far beyond what one should be eating as a normal meal. So it’s about going back to basics, turning to unprocessed, nutrient dense foods and ensuring each meal has a protein source; this way you wont need to eat as much, you will feel full and satisfied for longer – extending you’re life and subsequently giving you the ability to eat more over time.

11. Go Green

A life of consuming processed and refined foods, as well as daily contact with environmental pollutants, toxins and heavy metals causes the bodies’ pH balance to shift into a more acidic state. Acidity in the body creates room for cancer and disease. Consuming green vegetables assists in bring the body back towards an alkaline state, assisting with healing and recovery.

12. Herbs for Health

If you’re really serious about reversing the clock, it’s time for a quick science lesson. The first thing you need to know about is telomeres; these are the protective caps found on the ends of chromosomes. Each time DNA chromosomes are replicated, the telomeres protecting the ends decrease slightly and after time they reach a certain ‘minimum’ size, it triggers a signal for the cell to stop dividing. Effectively this means that by protecting and maintaining healthy telomeres, that cells are able to divide and multiply for longer, hence longevity is possible. Recent studies have shown that the Chinese herb, Astragalus contains molecules that nourish and assist with promoting telomere growth, thus reversing the ageing process – so why not brew yourself a cup of Astragalus tea? This just shows that tea isn’t just for old people! Astragalus is also a great source of bioflavanoids and choline, whilst being effective at stimulating the immune system and protecting the body against many different types of toxins.

13. Time for Exercise!

I’m sure you have heard all about benefits to exercising, and you can most likely write an almost endless list of them yourself. Here’s some food for thought though; regardless of the type of exercise you choose to do or your style of training, it is imperative to focus on function and form. By moving your body in the way nature intended and focusing on natural movements you can be sure to improve bone density, joint health and posture, all of which are going to ensure you have the ability to move for many years to come.

Start today – there is no time like the present to embark on a journey to a younger, healthier and more active YOU!

The Secrets to Amazing Weight Loss

March 21st, 2011 § 0

Weight loss is often thought of as a myth that only a few have actually achieved. This leads people to look for various weight loss secrets to, once and for all, get rid of the unwanted pounds be it for appearance reasons or for a person’s well-being. But it should be set straight that losing weight is not as easy as singing the alphabet while doing jumping jacks.

No, weight loss is a complex idea that has various possibilities and various methods. The road is not easy, and there is no quick fix to make all the fat go away. Aside from going under the knife, popping pills, and doing other methods, losing weight – the tried and tested way – is as tough as climbing the Everest (or I am just totally exaggerating). But like most climbs, the rewards are always worth it.

Be smart – If you have already read a lot of weight loss tips, you may already know the dos and the don’ts, the whats and the whatnots. However, if you feel that your knowledge is not enough, then you must read up on the various effects of exercises, the food you should be eating, and the benefits of the things that you are about to do. You could also make sure that you learn enough and gather your own strategies since there is no surefire method of losing weight that is cookie cutter made for all people. You know your body best, so follow a routine that you know for sure will suit you. But do your research first.

Stay motivated – Whatever your reasons may be, like you want to fit into a size 2 pair of jeans or you want to look great in a dress, keep that motivation in mind. One of the biggest mistakes people make when they attempt to lose weight is that they lose their motivation. So they grope for reasons to push themselves, and then drop out from their program.

Determination is key – Sure, you are motivated enough but if you do not have the determination to follow through, then no amount of motivation will get you to lose your weight. If you are not a determined person as of the moment, try to find that shred of determination in you and just drive it.

But when it boils down to it, are these really secrets? Or have we felt so sorry for ourselves that we are unsure of the answers. We seek and try to find solutions to our problem but don’t want to hear what we already know. What we already know have the been the core principles the whole time.

The Information Provided Was Written To Help Guide You In The Right Direction Of Achieving Proper Weight Loss Principles But If You Really Want To Learn How To Get The Perfect Body in Next to No Time At All Then This FREE Report Will Show You How You Too Can Finally Get Instant Access To Loosing Weight And Getting The Body You’ve Always Dreamed Of!

The Slim Girls Box of Secrets – What I Thought

March 16th, 2011 § 0

The Slim Girls Box of Secrets is a unique weight-loss product that allegedly works by changing the way we think about food-the question is; does it?

Before I launch into my experiences with this product I would like to tell you a little bit about myself and my personal challenges with excess weight and yo-yo dieting.

As a child in the early 1970′s I was fit and trim, we ate a traditional diet of meat, vegetables, bread and cereals. We drank milk, tea and a bottle of fruit cordial had to last a week (between three children). There were no fast food outlets in the town, convenience foods didn’t adorn our cupboards, we were allowed to visit the ‘chippy’ for supper on Saturday and fizzy drinks were a rare treat.

Combined with no computer game consoles or televisions in our bedrooms most of our time was spent outdoors, playing, walking or riding our bikes, keeping us fit and burning off calories and energy.

By my early thirties the pounds had begun creep on, my work had become more sedentary, and my faithful dog had passed away so no more long walks.

As my 40thloomed I suddenly realised that I was fat. With a height of 5’4” (1.62m) my idea body weight should have been around 112 lbs. (51kgs) not the 142lbs I was carrying. Losing these 30lbs excess was something I desperately needed to do. I’d been burying my head in the sand for too long, the back ache, the knee pain, the shortness of breath not to mention the lethargy and the general fear of getting older and the associated health risks of heart disease and type 2 diabetes.

I tried all the usual diets: low carb, low fat, high protein, calorie controlled, then there were the pills, patches, shakes and soups and finally the slimming club. Despite their sales pitch promises nothing worked long term. I managed the shakes and soups for about a week-the hunger pangs were simply too bad to tolerate, the pills made me feel so ill I packed in after a couple of days. I enjoyed some success with the more ‘conventional’ programmes but even then the weight always went back on.

By the time I reached my 43rd birthday I was back to square one; still with the excess 30lbs blighting my life and it was now beginning to affect me emotionally, I began to feel depressed and frustrated with to my lack of will power. Then I came across a magazine article about the Slim Girls Box of Secrets a revolutionary product that tackled the issue of weight-loss from a completely new angle. Being impressed by what I read (and re-assured by the promise of a full refund if not entirely satisfied) I made my purchase.

What is the Slim Girls Box of Secrets?

The box of contains a 220 page book 2 DVDs, 2 CDs and a ‘style kit’. The programme itself is based on Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) a technique that uses words to change the way we think. The author of the product is Ali Campbell is one of the world’s leading life coaches who has built an enviable reputation as a highly motivational coach, therapist and presenter and trusted advisor to business leaders and royalty. His celebrity clientele include singer Kelly Rowland, who he’s helped to achieve solo stardom and Mica Paris who, under Ali’s guidance, has lost a large amount of weight by simply changing her relationship with food, these same principles are at the core of the Slim Girls Box of Secrets.

All that the purchaser has to do is to take about 30 minutes each day to read the book, listen to the CD’s and watch the DVD’s, by doing so brings about subconscious changes that stealthily change the way we think about food. Initially I didn’t notice any changes and began to think that the whole thing was nothing more than a gimmick, after about five days I suddenly realised that I hadn’t eaten -or given any thought to crisps, cakes or chocolate for about three days and I had no yearning for my Saturday evening takeout.

It took me 12 weeks to lose the 30lbs; that’s an average of 2.5lbs a week, not phenomenal when compared to the claims of some products but it was effortless; no diet to follow, no hunger pangs, no expensive gym memberships or slimming clubs; the physical result? The weight stayed off-it’s been over six months now and I’m still at my target weight, both the back and knee pain has disappeared and I have lot’s more energy. As for the psychological benefits well, I feel happier, more attractive and confident and my fears of ill health have been somewhat reduced.

Motivation Secrets to Lower Your Weight Now

March 16th, 2011 § 0

Most people think you have to exercise a lot to stay in shape, but the real truth is fitness has very little to do with exercise. Motivation has everything to do with exercise yet we often lose our motivation right when we need it the most. Here’s what you can do to stay motivated to lose weight.

Set goals and be realistic. You didn’t get out of shape and heavy overnight so don’t expect to look like an athlete overnight either. Take your time and set short term goals first. Set up a strategy for what you are going to eat from now on. Notice I didn’t say “diet.” Diets are for losing weight right before the high school reunion. You need to change your life style to become fit and healthy, so figure out all the healthy foods you like, the serving size you are going to stick yourself to and maintain it from now on. Well, okay, forever does sound final. I mean who can go without chocolate or birthday cake forever? It’s okay to give in to little indulgences once in a while. Notice the key word is ‘little’ and ‘once in a while.’ One thing you don’t want to do just once in a while is keep track of your progress. You need to be vigilant and this means more than just weighing yourself once a week. Journal how much further you were able to walk, run or bike today compared to last month. How much has your blood pressure been reduced? This is just like a road map, you need to stop and get your bearings to make sure you’re still heading in the right direction.

Do not expect perfection out of yourself. If you compare yourself to celebrities or people who have exercised for years, you are setting yourself up for disappointment. Don’t do it. Celebrities have the luxury of a schedule that allows them to exercise for months before a movie is made. Not to mention that they have maids, personal assistants, hair stylists and personal trainers. That’s why they look like they do on film. Their motivation for staying beautiful and in great shape is it’s their living.

Compare yourself to you, or the way you used to be. As long as you keep going you will get results. The human body will respond to whatever you throw at it. If you throw chips and dip at it, it will look like it. If you throw healthy food and regular exercise at it, it will look like it. Period.

Motivation can come from inside or outside. Get support for what you are doing from family and friends. Join a team sport organization. You will be having so much fun you won’t believe that you’re losing weight and getting healthy at the same time.

Speaking of time, we are so busy it’s tough to find the time to exercise. Stop and think about how much you watch TV. Think about the shows you watch and whether or not they make a difference in your life. My guess is they don’t. If you watch only 2 hours of TV every day that’s 14 hours a week or 56 hours a month. The average American watches 151 hours a month. That’s insane. Multiplied by 12 months equals 75.5 days of sitting, doing nothing, learning nothing, goals and dreams being ignored. Talk about lost productivity. Don’t ever tell me you don’t have time.

Vary your workouts so that they don’t become monotonous. What kind of workout? Think about what do you like to do that takes physical activity and do it often? Do you prefer working out in the privacy of your own home? Try fitness DVD’s. How about the great outdoors? Join a walking group. Do what exercises you enjoy the most and mix in other activities often enough so that it stays interesting yet still achieves your goals.

If you are sick and tired of being sick and tired, then staying motivated won’t be such a chore. But if you are starting to work out for the first time in your life all I can say is, please, don’t ever give up. You are headed for a happier place in body, mind and spirit that once you achieve it, you’ll probably wind up writing articles just like this one to your friends, family or co-workers telling them how you took the difficult road and worked your way past the worn out shoes and perspiration to get to where you are now, feeling alive, strong, durable and invincible. I know because I lost over 60 pounds and am never going back to the plus size rack with plus size health problems. So what are you waiting for? Get a move on.
