Best Way To Lose Weight

Like many women, you've probably struggled with your weight for many years. Every time you diet, you just gain back all the weight you have lost. You may even gain back more weight, leaving you more out of shape and unhealthy than before you began your diet. This cycle repeats endlessly, and as a result you just can't stop gaining weight. Over a period of a decade or two, you may actually gain twenty or fifty pounds or more!

It is not your fault that you cannot lose that weight. What is at fault is your metabolism. A person's metabolism is a complex set of chemical and hormonal balances in the body that burn the calories from the food we eat, provide us with energy, and even regulate the muscles and the brain. In fact, all aspects of our body are governed by the metabolism.

Your metabolism can slow down if these balances get messed up. This results in fat-build up. One can gain weight, even though you have not eaten more calories then you would on a normal day. The reason for this is the calories are burned slower, leading to fat-build up.

The main reason for slow metabolic rate could be due to physical transformations that result from aging. The fact is, the more you stay on diet, the slower the metabolic rate becomes which in turn would gain you more weight. Women aged thirty and above, suffer more from these problems because of the hormones that are produced in their bodies.

To prevent this sort of weight gain it is necessary to increase the rate of metabolism in the body. Taking the natural supplement hoodia is an easy way to speed up the metabolism. Native Americans have used it for hundreds of years to improve their overall health.

The one side effect you will experience when you take the completely natural hoodia is that you will have increased energy and feel better. Unlike diet pills, hoodia's natural effects do not wear out as time passes. This is not an artificial pick me up. The results are great weight loss achieved naturally through your metabolism. The results will be achieved in a very safe way and will not result in bad side effects or additional health troubles.

If you are like most women, weight management has been a lifelong struggle. With many fad diets, you end up yo-yo dieting, where you might some lose weight but then shortly thereafter, you get it all back and then some. Yo-yo dieting will unbalance your body's systems and slow down your metabolism. Your metabolism slows down whenever your body goes into a caloric conservation mode, thus making it possible to gain weight even without increased caloric consumption. However, quick fix weight loss diet pills are often artificial and potentially quite dangerous. Fortunately, Hoodia is a natural alternative that is safe and proven to provide long-lasting benefits.

For those of you who have been curious about how sleep effects your weigh loss process, here's some interesting information. According to a recent report published in the Journal Sleep, those who slept 6 hours or less and 9 hours or more put on more weight then those who slept 7 to 8 hours. Yet another reason to get sufficient sleep.

The published report went on to state that those who did not get enough sleep gained 4.4 lbs more then those who did get enough sleep; those who slept too much gained 1.58 lbs more than those who got the recommended amount of sleep. Even though sleeping longer isn't as bad to your weight as not getting enough sleep, you should think twice about sleeping all day when you're trying to lose weight.

As for the reason behind their findings, the report stated that the amount of sleep's effect on weight gain has to do with its effect on the body's hormone levels, especially those involved in controlling your appetite and giving you the feeling of fullness after a meal.

The report also stated that watching tv in bed is a bad habit as is ingesting alcohol, caffeine, and yes, chocolate too. And even though exercising is great for losing weight, it's not a good idea to exercise before you go to bed.

So if you want to lose weight, it pays to get enough sleep, but not too much. If you have trouble going to sleep, try something relaxing like taking a hot shower or reading a book

Meditation is a process, a journey, rather than a goal or a destination. It basically consists of paying attention to your breathing and letting go of distracting thoughts. It sounds simple but sometimes it takes years and years of practice to accomplish this quieting of the mind. The process does have many benefits. It allows your mind to become calm and your mind and body to become deeply relaxed, resulting in a reduction of stress, a clearer mind, increased concentration, sharper focus and enhanced memory.

"So, how can this help me lose weight?" You ask.

For starters, it reduces stress and, therefore, reduces cortisol, a chemical byproduct of stress that tends to help the body produce blood sugar from proteins and use the excess glucose for fat production. Cortisol is also believed to increase the desire for and consumption of high-fat foods which you will want to avoid.

Meditation also allows you to reach a level of relaxation that allows your subconscious mind to retain and act upon suggestions about staying in control of food and eating, to increase metabolism, to love exercise and to shed those excess pounds.

And meditation sets up a mindset of relaxation and a feeling of well-being for the day which makes it easier to stay on the program you have chosen to help you create that slender, healthy body you desire.

How do you start meditating? Ten meditation techniques are listed below to help you get started.

Meditation Technique #1 Be Consistent

Choose one time of day that you can easily work into your schedule. The benefit of meditating at the same time each day is that your biorhythms will naturally adjust to it as a habit, like waking, eating and falling asleep. Your nervous system will grow accustomed to meditating at a particular time allowing you to enter deep meditative states more easily.

Make sure your phone is turned off. If you have children, set aside a time when they're at school or asleep.

Meditation Technique #2 Create Your Space Create a boundary between you and the outside world even if you're only meditating for ten minutes.

Meditation Technique #3 Where to Meditate?

Reserve a special place in your home to meditate. It can be as simple as setting aside a comfortable chair or pillow, or an entire room if you have the space. Place a candle, flowers, or any special items that have spiritual meaning for you on a table as an altar.

Creating a place that is reserved for meditation helps because Spiritual Energies gather in the place where you meditate; making it easier each time you sit in the same spot. Like going to a temple, church, or place of worship, with regular practice all you will need to do is sit in that place to feel settled, calm, and relaxed.

It can take many months of meditation to attain theta levels consistently during your meditation practice. Sacred Ground helps you to achieve those levels sooner, so that you can begin to experience the life-changing benefits. Whether you're a new meditator, or are experienced, let Sacred Ground take you to your inner world.

Meditation Technique #4 Create a Reverent Atmosphere

Invent your own soothing ritual before you meditate. Maybe it's at night after a bath, or at dawn before the rest of the world is awake. Light a candle, take a few deep breaths, and dedicate your meditation to the unfoldment of your highest potential. Say a prayer, chant or burn some incense if you wish. A tranquil and reverent atmosphere helps to induce a meditative state. Some people find Meditation Music helpful.

Meditation Technique #5 Position Yourself for Meditation

Sit with your spine straight. Use pillows behind your back for support if needed. It's important to have your spine straight so energy can travel freely up and down your spine. You may sit cross-legged or on a comfortable chair with your feet flat on the floor. You can also lie down, placing a pillow under your knees. If you tend to fall asleep when meditating, it's best to sit up so you can stay awake.

Tip: Theta is the frequency of meditation. Because theta is right on the edge of delta, associated with sleep, it's common for beginning meditators to drift into a nap instead of meditation. If you fall asleep easily when meditating try using Brain Power. It harmonically layers theta waves with very high beta frequencies to keep you awake and alert.

Meditation Technique #6 How Long Should I Meditate?

How long you meditate each day depends on you. A good beginning is 10 to 15 minutes per day. You might find that you naturally expand your meditation time by adding five minutes here and there. Another way to expand the time you meditate is to set a goal of adding five minutes each week until you adopt a natural rhythm of twenty to thirty minutes. One of the pitfalls of beginning meditators is to be too ambitious. Trust your intuition and start off with an amount of time that feels comfortable for you.

Advanced meditators usually spend an hour per day in meditation. If you can gradually work up to forty or sixty minutes the better your progress will be. Consistency brings remarkable long-term benefits.

The key is to do it every day. The effects of meditation are cumulative. Richard Davidson, a professor of psychology and psychiatry at the University of Wisconsin says, "Modern neuroscience is showing that our minds are as plastic as our bodies. Meditation can help you train your mind in the same way exercise can train your body." Therefore, each and every minute you meditate you're enhancing the biochemistry of your brain, building muscles that increase your mental, emotional and spiritual potential.

Meditation Technique #6 Sit, Breathe and Relax

When you meditate, take long slow deep breaths. Send the breath deep into your abdomen and then breathe out. Each time you breathe in imagine cleansing energy infusing your body. When you breathe out, ask your body to let go of tension and stress.

Tip: To quiet a busy mind count each exhalation, starting with one going up until ten, then begin the cycle all over again. If you forget where you are, go back to one and begin again. Do this for ten minutes to slow down mental activity. In the beginning many thoughts will come and go. When you notice you are thinking, bring your attention back to your breath. Linger on the peaceful space that lies between your thoughts. In time the space will expand.

Meditation Technique #7 Relax with a Body Scan

A body scan calms your nervous system, releases tension and helps you feel embodied - sometimes we spend so much time in our heads that we forget we have a body. Practicing this exercise for five or ten minutes is a meditation in itself. It's also a wonderful way to settle down before you meditate.

To begin, direct your consciousness to explore your left foot. Feel the physical sensations inside and around your foot. Then move your consciousness up your left leg, to your knee, thigh and into your left hip. Imagine traveling through the arteries, tissues and bones. You might come across energy blocks or areas of numbness. You might feel tingling vibrations, as the cells come alive from your conscious attention. Observe the sensations. Experiment with how you can tell muscles to relax and let go simply by directing your will.

Do the same with the right foot and leg up into your right hip. Direct your awareness to the root chakra area - abdomen and buttocks. Next explore your stomach, heart and chest, traveling up to your throat. Then move down to your left hand, feel the sensations in each of your fingers, and travel up your arm to your left shoulder. Repeat with the right side. Explore your neck and throat; notice how you can relax and expand your throat. Travel into your brain, let your face and jaw relax. Allow the muscles around your scalp, temples and forehead to soften and relax.

Tip: EEG (electroencephalogram) research has revealed that when the forehead, temples and scalp are relaxed, theta activity moves more easily into the frontal cortex. When those muscles relax you are able to go deeper into a meditative state.

Meditation Technique #8 How to Deal with the Mind

Gain the benefits of meditation even if you're a new meditator. Balance your Chakras, become positive and reduce anxiety; strengthen your immune system, and develop your creativity, just by listening to Deep Meditation.

The first goal of meditation is to notice and quiet random thoughts. In his book, Learn to Meditate, David Fontana, Ph.D. says, "By watching your thoughts and learning to identify them as distractions you have begun the path of meditation."

As you practice meditation you'll become aware of how your mind runs around in circles with many different thoughts and memories. At first your mind will be like a chatterbox, shifting from one concern to another, this is natural. You might catch yourself thinking about work or solving problems. You might worry about something that hasn't happened yet or remember things you forgot, like paying your credit card bill.

Meditation Technique #9

Label Your Thoughts Observe the quality of your thoughts and then label them. "These are busy, work thoughts," "These thoughts are negative and limiting," or "Here we go again with my To Do list." Then gently return your attention to your breath and expand into the space between your thoughts.

Each time you identify the quality of your thoughts, you are making enormous strides in meditation that will inevitably unfold in your life. In time you will become a keen observer of your inner world. You'll notice when you've fallen into negative thinking and you'll learn to redirect your attention to thoughts that expand and enhance your sense of self.

The highest level of thought is positive. Positive thoughts soothe your nervous system and encourage states of wholeness and well being. If negative emotions arise, such as anger, regret, fear or sorrow, label them and then gently shift your attention to something positive.

Meditation Technique #9

Meditate Upon Your Divine Self

A powerful practice is to meditate upon your divine self, the self who holds vast potential and gifts. Use your imagination to discover the magnificent being within. Drink from the well of knowledge that will multiply your joy and fulfillment in life. Exploring and contacting your divine nature is what meditation is all about. Guided Meditations that will help you create nurturing states of being and contact your higher self: Guided Meditation, Retrieve Your Destiny, Fulfill Your Heart's Desire, Living Prayer.

Meditation Technique #10

Finish with Feeling At the end of your meditation session, just sit for a moment, feeling the energies moving in your body. This pause before you leap back into the world allows you to integrate the meditation session into your daily life.

Not long ago, before a severe heat wave struck our region, I got together with a few of my co-workers to play tennis one evening after work. I really love to play tennis even though Ive never progressed beyond the intermediate hacker level.

I do have a few brief flashes of what appears to be a game, but thats usually overshadowed by a host of botched shots, which I like to refer to as unforced errors.

The temperature was in the low 80s and the average age of my colleagues is around 30. At 49, Im the senior citizen in the group, but I felt I could hang with them.

Im not sure if it was the heat or being out of condition, but after about 20 minutes I had to excuse myself and take a breather. I really didnt feel very good and I didnt want to take any chances, but after a 5-minute rest I caught my second wind and played for another hour and a half.

I felt somewhat embarrassed because my co-workers know how fanatical I am about running off to the gym at lunchtime to workout. It also hit home that maybe Im not in very good cardio-vascular shape! It really made me rethink my training regimen.

My first thought was maybe all this emphasis on staying in the fat-burning heart rate zone was really just a false sense of complacency. Maybe what I really needed to be doing was getting my heart rate up much higher and working on improving my cardio conditioning. At least this would be the best way to improve my stamina on the tennis court.

The other harsh reality is that all this so-called fat burning training wasnt really burning very much fat!

Coincidentally, I recently came across an article that discussed a book entitled The Heart Rate Monitor Guidebook by Sally Edwards. She states, The 220 minus your age formula is worthless. She advises that you determine your maximum heart by using the Sub-Max Step Test.

This simple test is performed by stepping up and down on an 8-inch step for 3 minutes without pausing and then taking your heart rate during the third minute. I just did this test today at the gym. I used one of those step aerobic platforms, which works great by the way.

Once you have your heart rate, she then advises that you add an estimate factor to it based on your fitness level:

Poor shape = 55
Average shape = 65
Excellent shape = 75

You then take 70% 80% of this number to get your fat-burning target heart rate.

My results from the step test were:

144 bpm at the end of 3 minutes
144 + 65 (assume average shape) = 209 bpm
.70 * 209 = 146 bpm (target fat-burning heart rate)

80% would be 167 bpm, which quite frankly I think would kill me. She advises not to go over 90%. Dont worry Sally, theres no chance of that happening!

Please be very careful when performing this test as well as calculating your sub-max heart rate. As you can see, this number will most likely be substantially higher than the old method:

200 49 = 171 bpm
.70 * 171 = 120 bpm

What it looks like to me is that this sub-max method actually puts your fat-burning heart rate closer to your cardio-conditioning heart rate derived with the old method. This seems to make sense. Highly conditioned athletes in sports such as basketball usually arent carry around a lot of body fat!

So if you feel that your training and conditioning are at an intermediate to advanced level, you may want to take up the intensity of your workouts and see if the fat starts to melt away -- like I do on a hot summer evening while playing tennis!

Another great feature is that you save half of your time.

Summer is round the corner and it's time to get out those bikinis. This is definitely not the time to have that extra fat hanging around. Want to get rid of it but don't know how?

These ten tips will not only help you get rid of that unwanted fat, but will keep it from coming back:

1. Eat a good breakfast. It helps raise your metabolism and gets your calories burning bright and early in the day

2. Drink plenty of water. This also helps raise your metabolism and gives you energy. Moreover, it helps you stay full so you do not feel the need to eat all the time.

3. Eliminate simple carbohydrates from your diet. Foods high in sugar offer you nothing but fat. Get rid of them when dieting and eat them sparingly when off the diet.

4. Avoid all fast foods. The French fries that you so love are loaded with trans fats, sodium and cholesterol, carbohydrates and calories and offer little by way of real nutrition.

5. Eliminate soda from your diet. It just fills you up with empty calories. Drink water instead; it's calorie free and good for the system

6. Exercise. Do sit ups or jumping jacks, take a walk; go for a swim. Doing something you love will ensure that you stick with it longer

7. Have a support group of friends who will continue to encourage you in your endeavor to lose weight.

8. Count the calories of every morsel you put into your mouth. Make notes if you must, it helps make you aware of how much extra you eat everyday without realizing it

9. Get rid of fried foods. They are filled with fat and no good for you. They do not help you lose weight, they hinder the process.

10. Above all, do not give up. If you binge, forgive yourself and get right back on track. Remember that your desire to lose weight is the strongest aspect of your diet.

Doesn't sound so drastic, does it? It's definitely do-able.

Do you want to get rid of those extra pounds you packed on? Although they sure did not pile on overnight, you'd like to get rid of them overnight, wouldn't you? Have you had enough? Are you ready to do something about it? Change your thinking and you can change your body. Your Weight Loss success story can start today! Click Here to get started!

New resort style mega health clubs are popping up all over North America. These clubs are packed full of expensive fitness and weight machines that offer hundreds of different ways to workout. You could go to one of these clubs and find a different machine to work the muscles of your arms or legs every day for 3 weeks and never repeat what youve done. Now that sounds very interesting and enticing, but is all of this variety necessary? It certainly is expensive. But do any of these machines help us lose weight? What are they really designed for anyway?

Some of the newer weight lifting machines can cost upwards of $5000 per machine. Each of these machines target specific muscles without affecting any other muscles. This is a technique called muscle isolation. Bodybuilders began doing isolation style exercises to make specific muscles bigger without affecting the other muscles around them. They do this because in competitions they are judged on the specific way they look and how big each muscle is compared to other muscles.

The average gym going person is never, in a million years, going to be in a position where they actually need to make their shoulders slightly larger without affecting their arms or chest because someone might think they look out of balance. However, most of the new gyms have countless machines that are designed to be this specific. Now unless there is a new bodybuilding revolution sweeping across North America that I am not aware of, all of these new weight lifting machines seem to be some what unnecessary.

The truth is most of the people who have a gym membership are there for general fitness and weight loss. Both of which can be accomplished with little or no machine assistance at all. In fact, the more muscles you work in each exercise the more calories you are going to burn, and the more overall change you will make to your body. These new weight machines are designed for the exact opposite effect. They are designed to only work a few specific muscles.

Weight training machines are great for advanced lifters, athletes and bodybuilders who are interested in shaping and building specific muscles. Whole body exercises that involve working the most muscles with each exercise are the quickest and most effective path to weight loss and fitness.

Could getting rid of belly fat be as easy as taking a supplement? Well, there is a supplement that is proven to help. Hoodia Gordonii was discovered in 1939 in the Kalahari desert, South Africa. The Kalahari bushmen had been using it for hundreds of years to suppress hunger while on hunting trips and long journeys. They actually eat the heart of the Hoodia plant's stem. They introduced it to British scientists. These scientists noted the reactions and testimonies as stated by the bushmen. For years after this first study Hoodia Gordonii would go unnoticed.

Years later, a company named PhytoPharm based in Britain would discover a new molecule they named it P57. This new molecule is the basis for the supplements powerful appetite suppressing ability.

I'm a martial artist and most of my workouts are bodyweight oriented. In fact, I find, I use the turbulence training workout and I find funny that many of the people who spend hours in the gym are generally not good at body weight exercises because their body isn't adapted to this type of routines.

There are many advantage to use your bodyweight to lose fat and gain muscle. As an example, you can train every single muscle of your whole body in less than one hour.

Most of the people who don't consider bodyweight to lose fat or gain muscle think that it's too easy. I was like this at first, but I guarantee you that after spending time in the gym for years, it's actually easier for your body to adapt to the weight than these tough body weight exercises.

Plus I found that going to the gym is not the absolute best way to develop strength.

For a best performance, athletes are to be trim and healthy. Winning is based on their talent along with a healthy body. For workouts and practice, they need to shed weight without damaging their muscles. This is the point were most of them do not care about. In order, to gain a quick change they often skip meals or use diet pills and laxatives. Some even try vomiting by triggering their throat. Ultimately, such habits will lead to eating disorders such as anorexia or bulimia.

Thus, athletes who are to be healthy end up in various diseases especially in women. Exercising towards the competition needs more effort. In certain cases, these people starve and follow unhealthy diets that might lead to diseases affecting the bone. Sudden change in the weight is always risky. An ideal goal is to reduce one or two pounds a week. Appointing a dietitian would help much in assisting a proper diet considering the weight, height, and age. With a healthy diet, it is easy to attain loss of fat than the muscle.

Athletes should always consume a variety of food. It is advisable not to skip meals especially when hunger cannot be controlled. Protein and carbohydrate enriched food stuffs can be taken before the routine workout or exercise. Calories are being burned off with exercise. Therefore, a well-planned food regime is to be prepared. Athletes put on weight after a particular competition. Retaining their old figure is not as easy as it sounds.

Consuming smaller meals within two to three hours and using considerably smaller plates keeps the person away from overeating. Skimmed milk and low fat diary foods should be preferred. Fish and chicken must be included in one meal of the day. It is better to avoid meat, but if it is a necessity remember to remove the fat before cooking. Including high-fiber food in the regime would give a feeling of fullness. Devouring fruits and vegetables will be more apt that it may avoid the person from over eating.

Fruit juices should be taken in plenty without much sugar and fat. Carbonated drinks are to be completely avoided. It is important for the athletes not to feel hungry during workouts. They might have a crave for sweets and confectioneries. A fruit or fruit juice before the work out will reduce their exhaustion and always feel full. Drinking plenty of water will prevent dehydration. Dehydration can result in serious problems to the health.

There are many risks for the athletes if they lose weight without any proper consultations. Along with the fat, muscle wasting might take place with heavy exercises, which can lead to diseases that may be even fatal.

Training is a great thing so it is easy to see why so many fall into the all too common 'more is better' trap. Like with many things in life, training should focus on quality over quantity. Your goal is not to train constantly more - not longer, not more frequently. Your focus is to improve your training - to increase your intensity by doing more and better in the time you have.

The fact of the matter is that marathon weight training workouts make no physiological sense. They work completely against how your body is designed to function in terms of packing on muscle. There is a good reason for keeping your workouts no longer than 45 minutes to an hour. Quite simply your testosterone levels begin to drop off dramatically after 45 minutes meaning that your output after this time is probably not going to be at the level required to stimulate new growth but rather is simply going to tax your body and eat into your recovery capacity. This means that your body will need to spend a great deal more resources repairing itself to where it was, an equilibrium level, leaving LESS to actually put towards NEW growth. Whilst training does tear down muscle fibres so they adapt and grow stronger, it is only a means to an end. The ultimate goal is to stimulate this adaptive response not see how much muscle tissue you can annihilate into oblivion.

Intensity is not about collapsing and puking every time you train, it is a measure of the quality work and effort you put in to maximise the adaptive response whilst hitting the correct muscles safely with good technique that improves their function as well as appearance. Training does not exist in a vacuum and it is also useful to consider and apply the concept of intensity and quality effort into the other vital areas such as nutrition and lifestyle that ultimately determine your success in achieving a lean muscular physique.

Taking the time to study and understand nutrition as well as the focus and discipline to shop, prepare and eat clean food is definitely an area where so many people lack the necessary intensity to support and maximise the adaptive response created in the gym. Making time to take care of your body and being organised to get enough sleep to ensure your body receives enough growth hormone and muscle building rest requires effort and you will need to apply yourself exactly as you drive yourself to train harder. Be honest. If your progress is stalling because you are neglecting other areas, more training is not the answer. You simply need to get better at all the things that matter. More is not better. Better is better.

Hello to all people who are eager to know how to burn fat and feed muscle! That is not so hard to do! In order to lose some weight and obtain strong muscles you just to know some tips and follow them every time. And, of course, you should not take on trust some wrong information about fat-burning process. Today I'm going to tell you about 5 most common myths people fall for when they trying to lose some weight and become fit and strong.

Myth number 1

Myth number 1: you are to do cardio every morning on an empty stomach and thus you will be able to burn your fat. Not at all! If you will exercise on an empty stomach every morning, that will not be much beneficial in your fat-burning war. Besides, no one wants to do tiring, slow and boring cardio at 6am while they have only one desire: to eat. If you happen to know any alternative to morning cardio, will you choose it then?

Myth number 2

Myth number 2: you need to do cardio in the fat burning zone. In reality, when you do some exercises in the fat burning zone, you only burn a few extra calories than if you weren't doing anything at all! For example, cardio workouts can't help you to lose belly fat. If you want to burn all your overweight and make your muscles stronger, you are to try short, burst exercise workouts instead of slow ones.

Myth number 3

Myth number 3: you are to do cardio every day. It is also a controversial question. Some people are so busy that they can't devote much time to do cardio. But they really need to feed their muscle and to burn fat! On this issue scientists claim that you don't have to do cardio every day. However, as much as 3 short workouts about 45 minutes per week will be quite enough.

Myth number 4

Myth number 4: you are to do cardio not less than 20 minutes before your fat start burning. Indeed, it is not true! As a matter of the fact, we are burning calories and fat permanently, even sitting or sleeping. Certainly, workouts increase the speed with which your fat burns, but it is not necessarily to do exercising for at least 20 minutes in order to activate your fat-burning process. I know some special workouts that can start the process right now!

Myth number 5

Myth number 5: you are not able to burn fat and to feed muscle simultaneously. Far from it! Now a great number of researchers state that a combined process is really workable. However, you should know some techniques in order to do the exercises properly.

And if you want to know these techniques, you can read the diet e-book "Turbulence Training" by Craig Ballantyne

Need something more? Then read some other diet e-books and choose one you like most of all!

Have you tried without fail to remove that stomach fat and love handles with more and more crunches and other ab exercises? Do you remove them by completely cutting out fat from your diet? No, that won't make it work.

Love handles and stomach fat is quite a common concern amongst men, especially if you would like to see your six pack abs or just lower your chances of heart disease. Unfortunately, as we age our metabolism starts to slow down and we end up storing excessive fat around the waist. Combine that with the fact that we become more sedentary the older we get, it would seem like a surefire way to gain love handles, stomach fat, a pot belly, and even a spare tire. Okay, I think you get the picture about how we get love handles and excessive abdominal fat, but how do we minimize it?

Unfortunately spot reduction training does not work, i.e. you cannot target a specific area in your body, like your love handles, for fat loss. Stored fat on your body, no matter where it is, belongs to the whole body and can therefore only be reduced by an overall body exercise routine. The best way would be a combination of cardiovascular (aerobics) and weight training exercises, especially if you alternate them on every other day. Obviously, there is no quick fix method to remove excessive fat around your waist - not even all the crunches and sit-ups will achieve this. Abdominal exercises will only strengthen your midsection, but will not magically burn off the fat around your waist.

Common ways on how to lose stomach fat and love handles include:

• a) reduce sodium intake - it aids water retention in the body

• b) drink plenty of ice-cold water - it helps to metabolize stored fat

• c) reduce alcohol intake - it contains a lot of 'empty calories'

• d) eat healthy - lots of fresh, green vegetables and fruit

• e) exercise regularly - why park close by when you can walk?

Losing stomach fat and love handles will only happen over time, but is definitely worth the effort and time. Get all the free information and help to aid you in seeing your six pack abs at Natural Weight Loss.

I began to do research into weight loss and pinpointed the things I was doing wrong in my first diet. There were certain things I had to learn in order to effectively lose weight and keep it off, here are 10 things you can do to help you achieve your weight loss goals.

Healthy is a Lifestyle, not a Goal
This includes your diet and staying active, one of the first mistakes I made was to set a goal of losing a certain amount of weight then once I reach that goal to go back to my normal habits. I reached my targeted weight then stopped running 3 miles every other day and watching my diet, as soon as I went back to my bad habits I gained all of the weight back.

If you are not drinking enough water, you are wasting your time

I cannot emphasize this enough, I have tried this weight loss thing 3 times over the past two years and the only time I noticed a difference was when I began consuming a lot of water. I have gone as far as to run 3-4 miles a day and eat cabbage for lunch and had limited results, but now I maintain a balanced diet and have lost more weight than ever because I drink at least a gallon of water every day.

The general idea is to drink an ounce of water for each pound you weigh, at first it will seem like a lot at first and you will be running to the bathroom every 15 minutes but you are giving your body what it needs. When your body feels as if it is not getting enough water it will store the little bit it does get, that is where those love handles come from. Then the liver has to kick in and help the kidneys rather than its function of metabolizing the body and you are not burning off the food you consume like you should. So do yourself a favor, drink more water!

Have Fun!
Working out is useless if you are not enjoying yourself, there are a plethora of activities that you can do to keep yourself in shape. I personally cannot STAND running on treadmills so I only run outdoors. I enjoy lifting weights because of the feeling and the confidence I get from the results but lets take it a step further; If there is a sport you enjoy then there is no better workout, I am a football junkie and since I never played I figured hey.. why not join a flag football league and see what I can really do?

The result: I have lost 5lbs since I started the league, 5lbs that I have been struggling to get rid of and I feel like I am in high school all over again.

It's okay to use your Imagination
As pathetic as this may sound, when I work out in my mind I am training for the NFL, I even know what position I am training for. (running back) It may sound dumb but it makes me train hard and keeps me motivated. Figure out what motivates you, is it that guy or girl at work that you would like to notice you? Take it 88 yards to the end zone like Reggie Bush? Explode to the basket and finish like Lebron James? Forget reality, use your mind and let that motivate you and I guarantee you will be satisfied with the results.

You do not have to be a Nutrition Nazi
As I stated before I was eating cabbage for lunch, barely taking in 1200 calories a day and running miles.. I was hurting my weight loss goals more than I was achieving them. Not only does this work against you but its unhealthy and just plain stupid.

What do I do now that allowed me to lose 25lbs? I eat realistically, there is no way I could maintain a 1200 calorie diet over a long period of time. Now I eat lean meats high in protein such as grilled or baked chicken and periodically Salmon. (hey I am running a business here) Some days I eat more than others, I basically listen to what my body tells me and if I over eat then I know I need to work out that much harder. About every week or two I splurge and may eat an entire pizza or a big dinner and strangely my body responds positively.. it loves it and in a day or so I burn it off plus some. A couple of other tips on nutrition:

Do not eat after 7pm - your metabolism slows down significantly later in the evening

High Protein Diet - It works, I do not know why but it just does so take my word for it.

Breakfast, Never Skip it - Never EVER EVER skip breakfast! I just said your metabolism slows down significantly later in the day, well if you skip breakfast it will be that slow from the beginning of the day.

Sugar, cut it out! - Replace soda and Fruit Juice with water, you will cut your caloric intake significantly, put the sweets down and if you must have it then snack on fruits like Strawberries, Grapes, Bananas, etc.

Fried Foods - I'll keep it simple, do not touch them. If you eat out a lot avoid the french fries.

Since the last quarter of the 20th century, the prevalence of obesity has increased sharply for both adults and children. Current studies reveal increases from 15 to over 30 percent of our current population as being obese. For children aged 2 to 5 years of age, the obesity prevalence increased from 5 to 14 percent; for those 6 to 11, there was an increase from 6.5 to over 18 percent; and those 12 to 19, obesity prevalence increased from 5 to 17 percent. Obesity begins at the home where the adult leaders teach and nurture unhealthy lifelong habits. Our society reinforces the behavior with advertising and an abundant supply of unhealthy foods. These worsening statistics prove that we need better education and guidance on the importance of healthy nutrition and lifestyle.

So unfortunately, if you are living in the developed world, you will more than likely need some help and direction with your weight control. There is a strong need for safe dieting and lifestyle restructuring. To start, you need to ask yourself some simple Yes or No questions:

Are you:

Hungry?

Overweight?

Tired?

Plagued with:

Weak Concentration?

Low Self Confidence?

Poor Health?

Poor Sex Life?

If the answer is YES, then a well-rounded healthy diet plan is just what your physician should be ordering. No more pills or unnecessary alternative medical treatments like the ones you see on television. You don't need a miracle bowel cleanse. You don't need a revolutionary diet-modifying drug.

Do you have any of the problems listed above? Do you have trouble with your weight? Are you just looking to shed a couple of pounds? Have you tried one or more diets without long-term success? You aren't alone, but one among the millions of others around the world who feel a sense of hopelessness when it comes to dieting and personal health.

The dieting industry currently yields tens of billions of dollars a year. Most claims are to help you lose weight very quickly; however, read any of the fine print under the promotional pictures of the models and you will start to see the little slogan "Results not Typical." Well, what are the typical results for dieters? For starters, 90 to 99 percent of people regain the weight and then some! Many chronic dieters spend over ten thousand dollars on dieting products during their lifetimes. Wouldn't it be nice to use that money for an investment, vacation, or that special something you've always wanted? Of course it would.

There is a serious problem in America and with most of the developed world right now. That problem is customer demand fueling the food and drug corporations. Do you think they care if you are fat or thin? Maybe the individuals working in those corporations want the best for their fellow citizens, but the truth is that these corporations are in business to make a profit. What sells better? A bland tasting super healthy burger, or a juicy, fatty, scrumptious one deep fried, covered in condiments, and wrapped in sugar dough? Most will vouch for the latter.

Like the fast-food industry, the sit down restaurants are seldom better. Let's face it; our brains and bodies LOVE refined sugars and juicy fats. Therefore, the chefs and food creators at the various establishments are pushed to create that feeling of ecstasy in your mouth with these two main ingredients. And they should. You are paying them good money to make the best tasting food you've ever put in your mouth. Furthermore, do you see many restaurant reviews on the nutritional or personal health benefits gained from eating there? Of course not, and the restaurants should not be forced to do so. However, it's always nice to see healthy alternatives on the menus as well as nutritional disclosure about the meals served.

Bottom line, you've probably tried several diets without success. You have more than likely experienced part or all of the "diet cycle." The diet cycle starts when you decide to start a diet plan or product. Then, social, mental, or family pressures and roadblocks develop and you fail. You become frustrated and depressed with your failure, which leads to a return of old habits and additional weight gain. The cycle will repeat itself, again and again, if you do not adequately prepare for success and make the necessary changes in your life sustainable to break it.

You can get out of this continuous downward sequence. You can start to reverse some of the damage you've already caused your body. You can start to promote a healthier future for you and your family. It starts with the incorporation of a healthy diet and lifestyle plan. Avoid the fads and special products, and get in touch with an weight loss expert to direct you towards success.

Losing weight and keeping it off is a great goal, but it's usually a challenge. It's more than just eat less, move more. There are so many variables that can affect a good diet. Sometimes people work against themselves without even knowing it. Any good weight loss system will help you drop the pounds, but if you make any of these common mistakes you might just be sabotaging yourself unknowingly.

Innocent Extra Mouthfuls - Did you know that most people have no idea how many calories they consume on a daily basis? In fact, even registered dietitians often underestimate their calorie intake by as much as 20%! The extra calories often come from "hidden" sources, like those 4 pretzels your grabbed on the way out the door (40 calories), or the 2 peanut M&M's you snatched (20 calories). These little extras that you don't think "really count" add up and can equal 100-200 extra calories a day! That's a pound a month. Keep a food journal and record everything you eat and you'll find that you might be eating way more than you think.

Not Drinking Enough Water - Many people often mistake thirst for hunger. They reach for a snack instead of giving their body what it really needs: a cool glass of water. If you make sure to drink the recommended 6-8 glasses of water a day you can stop this fake "hunger." Avoid sugary sodas and even diet colas, as these contain caffeine that actually works against your attempts at rehydration.

Bedtime "Meals" - Some people have bedtime snacks. Others tend to have more of a bedtime meal. Keep your bedtime snack small; roughly 100 calories. This will not only assist in your attempt to eat less but you'll also sleep much better. It doesn't really matter if you eat before bed, in fact it might be a good idea to keep your metabolism going. However, it does matter how much you eat. Keep the snacks small.

No Plan - Many people just tell themselves "I'm going to lose weight." Which is great, but that's all they do. It's extremely hard for most people to lose the fat by simply attempting to eat less. Instead, it's recommended that you find a good diet plan and stick to it. A good program will help you change your overall eating habits and ensure you get proper nutrition. Also, you will learn how to eat healthier for life.

Keep these tips in mind as you follow a good weight loss system, and your efforts will be all the more successful.

The problem with starting a weight loss program is that many people do so without really thinking things through. Then they wake up one day and realize that there are a number of items that they needed for their particular program that they don't have and they have to scramble like mad to get them. Even worse, sometimes they'll start a weight loss program and half way through it, realize that it's the wrong program for them for a variety of reasons. This article will hopefully prepare you for starting a weight loss routine in a proper manner so that you're not scrambling for things down the road. Hopefully, after reading this, you won't have that problem.

The first thing you need to understand when starting a weight loss program is that not all weight loss programs are the same. There are many different methods for losing weight. There's diet, exercise, drugs or any combination of these things. Each routine or method that you choose is going to have different requirements.

For example, let's say you decide that you're going to get this new at home yoga program. Well, before you send away for that package, make sure that you have the proper items needed to carry it out. For one thing, most of these programs now come on DVD. Well, guess what? If you don't have a DVD player you better either plan to go out and get one or choose another option.

What about weight loss programs that require specific diets? Are you sure you don't have any food allergies or intolerance? If not, you better get those things tested. The last thing you want to do is start on a diet and find out that the food you're required to eat doesn't sit well with your digestive system.

What about if you decided that you wanted to take diet pills? It would probably be a good idea to check with your doctor first to find out what the potential dangers of diet pills are, and believe me, the dangers are quite real. You doctor might determine that diet pills are not the best course of action for you. For that matter, you shouldn't go on any diet plan without first checking with your physician first. As much as I'm not the biggest fan of the medical profession with the way they give our prescriptions like candy, there are times when it's a good idea to talk to a doctor.

You also want to make sure that you're physically capable of handling the diet plan that you've chosen, especially if you decide to go the exercise route. If you've been sitting behind a desk for the last 25 years and haven't exercised since you graduated high school, you might want to take it slow when it comes to hitting that treadmill. You've probably got muscles that haven't been used in years.

The bottom line is this. You can't just jump into a diet program, no matter what kind it is. You need to make sure that you're fully prepared for whatever plan it is that you choose and that your body has a better than even chance of surviving the routine.

In other words, use your head before you start using the other parts of your body.

To YOUR Health,

Steve Wagner

Calorie Shifting is causing a lot of controversy these days. Many people have used it with great success and stand by it, yet there are also other voices who claim that calorie shifting is a scam and nothing more. I thought it would be appropriate to shed some light on the subject.

Calorie shifting isn't a diet really, but a weight loss method. Calorie Shifting diet is synonymous with the Fat Loss 4 Idiots diet, which was the diet that actually brought calorie shifting to the world, but in fact there is another diet which is based on calorie shifting, and I'll get to that later on.

Is the calorie shifting diet a scam? It depends on whom you ask. If you ask one of the people who used it and lost a lot of pounds with it then you'd get a resounding NO! But if you ask anyone who tried it and failed then you'd get a yes. The reason is that as far as weight loss programs go, a scam or not a scam is usually a pretty personal thing. If something works for you then it's magic, if not, then it's a scam. The truth is, of course, quite different.

The truth is that calorie shifting isn't a scam. It's a dependable weight loss method. It doesn't work for everyone. No diet plan works for all the people. Some people will be disappointed by it. But for many people, calorie shifting will be just the thing that they'll need to jump start their weight loss efforts.

As I said previously in this article, there are currently 2 diets which makes use of the calorie shifting method:

1. Fat Loss 4 Idiots
2. Yay Food

Fat Loss 4 Idiots is the one with the longer track record. It has been used by tens of thousands of people worldwide. It's not perfect, but it has worked for many people. You can learn more about it on this website: http://CalorieShiftingDiet.com
