Atkins Pre Maintenance Phase

After experiencing the Induction and OWL phases of the Atkins diet, your next step is to enter the pre-maintenance phase. This phase will set you up for a lifetime of healthy and balanced eating and living. You should begin this phase as you come within 5 to 10 pounds of your target weight goal. Your weight loss will be slowed down even further but it is for a purpose. You want to learn the practices and habits that will determine your long-term success.

In the OWL phase, you will be adding carbohydrate grams to your daily count in the increment of 5 grams per week. During pre-maintenance you will increase that to 10 grams per week. As long as you are continuing to shed weight (no matter how slowly it is coming off) you will continue to add grams. Ideally, toward the end of the pre-maintenance phase you will be losing less than one pound per week.

According to the Atkins book, you should continue this phase until you get to your goal weight and can maintain it for a month. This process may take anywhere from 1 to 3 months. Your goal is to reach a state called "carbohydrate equilibrium." This is your ideal carbohydrate intake and it will cause you to maintain your weight perfectly.

During pre-maintenance you'll get to try a wider variety of foods. Make sure to introduce new foods slowly and increase your carbohydrate intake at a measured pace. Don't add 20 or 30 carb grams a week. Measuring out the increases in increments of 10 will give you a better idea of your personal carbohydrate count. Knowing this number will help set you up for long term weight management.

Make sure to check with a carbohydrate counter resource book or a trusted website before you add a new food to your diet. Some examples of 10 carbohydrate gram foods include 1/3 of a cup of legumes, an apple, cup of potatoes and cup of plain oatmeal. These foods can be included on a daily basis, and then increased the next week.

Pre-maintenance is not a perfect process. It takes a delicate balance of carbohydrate counting and exercise to slow weight loss yet still move it forward. You'll need to pay even closer attention than you have before to make sure that your carb gram increase is not resulting in an increase in weight. There is a fine line between gaining, maintaining and losing, and during pre-maintenance you are trying to find out just exactly where that line is.

If you aren't able to add carbohydrates without stalling your weight loss, you may have a high metabolic resistance. You will benefit from increasing your exercise regimen to get your metabolism burning at a higher level. For you, the pre-maintenance phase will resemble OWL more closely.

Some people do a variation on pre-maintenance that allows them to have a treat once a week. Instead of adding 10 grams per day, they allow themselves a 20 to 30-carbohydrate gram treat a few times a week. Examples of the treat could be a piece of a fruit or a serving of sweet potatoes. A glass of white wine or beer also qualifies for this treat. This is a fun way to reward yourself and still be on the plan.

Yet another way to do pre-maintenance is to average out your carbohydrate intake for the week. Since life is sometimes unpredictable, it can be helpful to have a bit of flexibility in your eating plan. For example, if your current carbohydrate level is at 70 grams, you can limit yourself to 50 grams one day. Then the next day, you can splurge a bit on a meal and have 90 grams for that day. However, only follow this method if it doesn't create carbohydrate cravings. Sometimes excess carb grams on one day can make you crave them even more the next day.

The pre-maintenance phase will give you the tools for long-term success. By learning to slowly increase your carbohydrate grams, you'll have a better hold on the amount of carbohydrates that is right for you.

Your Body Shape and What it Means for Weight Loss

Your body shape and what it means for weight loss

The areas where you store your body fat show the influence of the subtle hormonal balance within the body. This fact can be used to predict which foods will more likely cause weight gain and diminish your health.

Fat storage patterns

Different people store their body fat in different areas. It may be that you store your fat on your stomach only, just below your waist or maybe all over your body, your hands,face included. Take a look at yourself, then have a look at the next few people you see and notice the different ways they store their fat.

In general there are four major fat storage patterns in women and three in men. This is caused by the dominance of the endocrine glands within the body; Thyroid, adrenal, pituitary or ovaries (women only). Each person has one gland that is more dominant than the others. This gland influences the main areas where you store fat

The broad patterns of fat storage are unique, see if you can spot someone who holds their fat mostly on the stomach and hips only, others who store it all over their body, some just below the waist only and finally people who store it on their back, chest stomach and hips. These patterns relate to the dominance of the thyroid, pituitary, ovaries and adrenals respectively.

Research has also found that certain foods stimulate these glands, for example caffeine, fruit, chocolate amongst others stimulates the thyroid gland. Over time you learn that the foods that stimulate your dominant gland will produce a temporary uplift in energy. The result is you learn to crave these foods when you are low on energy to give you a pick up . Over time relying on your dominating gland can wear it out resulting in a drop in metabolic rate and subsequent fat accumulation. The idea is to minimize these foods and replace them with a non dominant gland stimulating substitute. This will allow the gland a rest and allow it to recharge over time and thus let the body lose fat.

The cause of your cravings

The need for you to rely on the foods that stimulate your dominant gland arises because you are giving inadequate nutrients in the right amount for your body. The result is inefficient energy production and the desire to fall back on your favorite foods that will give you an uplift

This explains why when many people cut out cakes, sugars, starches and caffeine (Thyroid type foods, a common dominance in white western people) they never stick to it. As many people replace these foods with other food sources that are not appropriate for their metabolic type. The result is the body sends out signals for more energy, this gives the food craving for.you guessed it!..... the cakes, sugars, starches or caffeine they cut out. This opens up a game of will power which will inevitably be won by the food.

Know your type before cutting out these foods.

The simple solution to avoid the above cycle is to discover your metabolic type first, then fine tune the meal ratios before minimizing these glandular foods. The process of eating in accordance with your metabolic type will almost serve to completely reduce the food craving.

Persistent food cravings with an emotional basis can of course be treated with emotional freedom technique (EFT). In combination, this will relieve the biochemical and behavioral need for certain foods and thus produce the desired weight loss.

This is why my courses comes money back guaranteed, we are tackling the issues from all angles and right at the source of the problem.

Hypnosis Weight Loss

There are many procedures out there today which help people loss weight effectively. Hypnosis is one of the procedure which helps in losing weight without any pills or surgery. However there are general misconceptions regarding application of hypnosis in losing weight.

I will tell you about some unknown facts about using hypnosis to lose weight and also at the end of the article, I will show how to lose fat and weight without sit-ups, starvation or pills.

Here are some facts about using hypnosis to lose weight.

1. Risk

Yes, Hypnosis is risky when not done properly. Many people believe hypnosis is not risky because it does not contain pills or surgery. It is not true. Hypnosis, when not done properly, can pose imminent danger to your health.

2. Effectiveness

Hypnosis is effective in weight loss. But, hypnosis alone will not help you to remove excess fat from your body and also lose weight. Hypnosis should be used as a part of your weight loss process.

3. How it works

Hypnosis will help one to get into the subliminal state or hypnotic stage. It is said that at this stage, your body will be more responsive and so it helps to cultivate weight loss desire deep into your mind.

4. Sessions

Mere one session of hypnosis will only have very minimal results on an individuals weight. When losing weight, hypnosis matched with psychotherapy will be more effective than hypnosis alone.

In nutshell, you should aware that hypnosis should not be used as sole process in your weight loss process. It can be used as a facilitator in losing weight. Therefore you should combine hypnosis with out weight loss management programs. In this way, you can lose more weight in a relaxed way.

Sport-Specific Interval Conditioning

In many sports, a high level of aerobic fitness is necessary for optimal performance because it promotes endurance and assists recovery in "stop-and-go" type sports such as ice hockey. To improve aerobic fitness, coaches have traditionally prescribed long and tedious sessions of continuous sub-maximal exercise for athletes, regardless of their sport-specific metabolic demands.

Most team sports are not characterized by continuous sub-maximal movement speeds BUT/ rather these sports demand periods of high-intensity effort interspersed with maximal bursts of speed and periods of almost complete inactivity. Take soccer for example, a player may move at a moderate speed for minutes while following the play and then will be forced to sprint at their maximal pace for the ball. After that, the player could be faced with a stoppage in play of up to a minute due to various factors.

Considering the endless possibilities, is long-duration, moderate-intensity aerobic training the best method of conditioning these types of athletes? In my opinion it is not. What then are the alternatives? Let us consider "aerobic interval (AI) training" as a more beneficial manner at increasing the aerobic fitness and sport-specific muscular endurance of an athlete in a "stop-and-go" team sport.

Aerobic interval training provides a more sport-specific training intensity, a greater training stimulus that can be applied to the muscles used in the specific activities, and may also be an advanced training method for endurance training athletes looking to overcome a plateau in their aerobic fitness levels.

The intensity level of this training technique is much higher than the intensity level commonly associated with aerobic training. The exercise stimulus may in fact be very damaging to the muscle in its initial attempts and can result in muscle soreness in the days following the training session.

Therefore, prior to beginning a "full-blown" training regimen of AI's, the athlete should develop general muscular strength and endurance and perform a short "lead-in" program of general aerobic exercise (2 weeks; 3 sessions per week; 20 minutes; high-intensity; sport-specific activity).

The initial (first week; 2 sessions) AI training sessions should be conservative in training volume (3-5 intervals) to accustom the muscles and joints to the intensity. As well, a thorough and specific warm-up should be performed as well as pre- and post-exercise flexibility routines.

AI training involves alternating bouts of exercise with recovery periods. A sport-specific mode of exercises is performed for a short duration (2-5 minutes) and followed by an equal length rest interval. High-intensity work is the key factor in this type of training. By incorporating rest intervals, the athlete can work at a much higher (and more sport-specific) power output in comparison to traditional aerobic training.

Determining the intensity of the exercise bout is definitely the trickiest component of the training prescription. The "work" pace should elicit the individual's maximal heart rate by the end of the exercise bout. For example, if a 20-year old athlete (max HR = ~200) ran a 3-minute interval then their 10-second heart rate count should be ~ 33 beats (33 x 6 = 198) at the end of exercise. An example distance for a 3-minute running interval would be ~ 800m. Basically, the athlete wants to pick a training intensity that they believe they could hold constant for up to 10-minutes.

Obviously, picking the intensity can be very subjective unless the facility has "high-tech" training equipment. As the AI intensity should correspond to about 95-100% of the individual's VO2 max, if the athlete has access to high-tech training technology then a more accurate training prescription may be allowed.

Providing an adequate and complete rest interval is paramount! The rest interval must be of an extremely low-intensity so that sufficient recovery will occur and the next work interval can again be performed at a high power output. Do not sacrifice the quality of rest because this will only reduce the benefit of AI training. A reduced recovery will prevent lactate clearance (lactate = muscle fatigue), phosphate energy (CP & ATP) recovery, and improvements in aerobic metabolism. Remember this is not continuous training!

Many athletes that have traditionally trained with only long-slow distance workouts may have difficulty with this concept at the outset of the program, however these athletes will soon become more comfortable in taking a full-length recovery interval.

At ~ 2-minutes of maximal exercise the contribution of the anaerobic & aerobic energy systems are nearly equal and at 5-minutes the contribution is 30% anaerobic & 70% aerobic. Therefore, the high-intensity, short-duration nature of AI allows sport-specific demands to be applied. Training at such a high-intensity recruits the fast-twitch muscle fibers. These fibers are predominantly responsible for anaerobic performance, BUT/ by improving the aerobic system of these fibers, they will be able to recover quicker and be ready to contribute to sprint-performance with less rest time.

The adaptations in the body will be occurring predominantly at the muscle level. The muscle fibers will increase their ability to extract and use oxygen, BUT/ the improvements on oxygen delivery (heart and lung adaptations) may be minimal. The athlete will also improve their ability to tolerate lactate (lactic acid buildup in the muscle and blood) and will be ready to start ANAEROBIC INTERVAL training in the pre-season.

ANAEROBIC intervals match precisely the demands of the sport. For example, a hockey ANAEROBIC interval would be maximal exercise for 30-45 seconds followed by 1-3 minutes of recovery. ANAEROBIC INTERVAL training prescription needs to be addressed in an article of its own, perhaps in the near future...

AEROBIC INTERVAL training prescription

: 2-3 minutes & equal recovery

: progress to 10-12 intervals

: @ 95-100% VO2max; don't go TOO hard! (8-10 min pace)

: ~ maxHR at end of interval

Warmup Work Interval Recovery Interval

Fluids should be available at all times throughout the training session to help combat dehydration. Unfortunately many athletes may not feel comfortable consuming a high-volume of water OR sports drink while undergoing this intensity of training. To compensate, ensure adequate pre-hydration (make it a habit to drink sufficient fluids daily) and excess post-exercise fluid intake. The athlete should use AI to train the body to consume fluids during rest intervals of competition. Remember the importance of being well hydrated (dehydration can cause a reduction in endurance).

WARNING:

Your legs will feel like JELLO upon completion of this workout for the first time! The muscle glycogen (carbohydrate energy) stores will be extremely depleted and muscle fatigue will be high also due to lactate accumulation. Therefore, take caution in the scheduling of the remainder of your training day and the following day because of reduced neuromuscular coordination and fatigue. However, full recovery should occur within 24-48 hours. Make sure to consume a high-carbohydrate snack immediately after exercise and to maintain a diet with sufficient carbohydrate foods and fluids.

Therefore, AI training should occur in a sport-specific manner. The intensity and duration of the intervals should increase in specificity as the pre-season draws closer. Therefore, AI's train the body to perform repeated intervals of high-power outputs with the end result being an increase in sport performance.

Lose 10 Pounds Fast By Shifting Calories

Fat Loss 4 Idiots has introduced a new method of dieting which will help you to lose 10 pounds fast. Unlike other diets available that claim to help with fast weight loss this one has continuous results rather than just short term results and this is because it is based around shifting calories.

The diet is based around an 11 day cycle during which you will eat foods of every type in a constantly changing pattern to fool your metabolism into working at a high rate. Once the 11 day cycle is at an end you then receive 3 full days to eat whatever foods you want, these are commonly known as cheat days.

Here are a few tips which make using Fat Loss 4 Idiots shifting calories diet more effective.

DON'T IGNORE THE CHEAT DAYS.

Because many dieters are so desperate to lose weight they decide to ignore the 3 cheat days and continue to diet but this should be avoided. Cheat days have several benefits and they have been put there for a reason, so use them, enjoy them and then start the cycle over again.

STICK TO THE MEAL PLAN

The diet provides a menu generator which will be based on a list of foods you have told it you like so once you get the menu don't ignore it. The weight loss program gives you 4 meals a day and this is what you should try to follow. Some feel that by leaving one out if they don't feel hungry that they will lose weight faster but this isn't the case. Leaving longer periods between meals gives your metabolism time to work at a slower rate and increases the chances of binging.

TAKE A WALK

Most dieters are in the need to lose weight because they have never gotten enough exercise so the last thing they need is a diet program that requires them to put in a super human effort. Instead try to walk more often, a simple walk to the shops each day can make a massive difference. The program this diet uses doesn't actually require any exercise but this will increase the amount you do lose.

DON'T CONSTANTLY WEIGH YOURSELF

Anyone that has ever dieted will know the habit we have of jumping on the scales each and every morning to see what weight we have lost but this should be avoided. This diet is based around an 11 day cycle so I would suggest you only weigh yourself at the end of each 11 day cycle. This will help prevent a loss in motivation if one day goes extremely well and the next day has poor results.

By using the calorie shifting diet and following this advice you will lose 10 pounds fast without fail.

Hard Rock Abs at the Hard Rock Cafe

I have found the most luscious lunch place imaginable for followers of my program. I am addicted to their spices and grilling methods. Actually it is a little meet and eat quick rotisserie restaurant that offers a special rotisserie chicken prepared by the cutest little Jamaican man who meticulously prepares every chicken like it's filet mignon.

The side dishes are all home made. For us fast weight loss, low glycemic followers they offer steamed carrots, green beans and onions dish, cucumbers and oil salad, green and Caesar salads. Now they also have other not so perfect (makes you fat and ruins your sexy swimsuit look) for fast weight loss side dishes like whole mashed potatoes, rice and beans and coleslaw with sugar.

My favorite meal is five grilled chicken legs with a side of steamed carrots and the green bean dish. It is so spicy, moist and satisfying. I have it almost every day. Sometimes I will have a salad or some cucumbers just to mix it up. But there is nothing more satisfying than a hot meal when you are hungry.

I know what you are thinking, that must be expensive every day. Well, before I found this fat blasting savior chef, I was eating at a sandwich joint spending about $9.00 American. The hot low glycemic, fat losing Victoria Quick Start meal is $4.50 American. HALF the amount I was paying and more satisfying, I get to drink all the water with lemon I want. Lemon aids digestion and helps your body metabolize fat.

On days when I have a hearty appetite, I get a couple of legs to go and eat them for my afternoon snack. They cost me 50 cents each! And then being the forward thinker that I am, I get a cup to go and put big juicy lemon slices in it and pack it with ice and continue to fill it with water all afternoon so I can keep the fat metabolizing and flushing going.

Wait it gets better, right next to the rotisserie is a mom and pop breakfast place who makes egg substitute omelets with three ingredients, mushrooms, green peppers and tomatoes with low fat mozzarella for $5.00. They are HUGE!

I get them and put them into three servings and put them in the cold box (fridge) and heat them up for my low glycemic fat blasting breakfast.

This is definitely heaven here on earth. My clients think I am a genius when I introduce them to them these great tasting and satisfying weight loss foods.

The first few weeks I found these heavenly treasures, I lost weight so quick, my cheeks started to sink. I had to add some fat back into my diet and eat some more grains so that I would stop the fast losing. How awesome is that??

Don't fret, you probably have one somewhere close to where you live or work. I am told that most cities in developed countries have similar restaurants or concepts in them. You just have to get on the internet and search them out.

But wait, not everyone does it my way. The restaurant also severs home made Jamaican and some western friendly soups.

This very LARGE American woman comes in and orders a bowl of soup and a side of fresh baked bread. She sat with her soup and ate an entire mini loaf of white pasty fat building, thigh enlarging and tundra tummy building bread!

I desperately wanted to wrestle her to the floor and take it from her, but she was bigger than me and she would have won. Plus I didn't want to embarrass my business manager who was with me.

Do you know that she could have eaten an entire roasted chicken and a giant bowl of green beans and turned up her metabolism because of the way the glycemic effect of the foods affect your metabolic output. She would start losing weight almost immediately if she would have traded her lunch for my lunch.

You can do the same, you can trade your lunch for my lunch and you will begin to lose fat right away and then you can just fine-tune your sexy body.

Will it be easy? NO! but the formula is simple once you understand it. You will have to begin by reprogramming your mind and focusing on your desired goal. You may even want to get out a bikini or a picture of HOW you want to look and put it someplace you can see it EVERY DAY! Your mind sees in pictures and you want to keep the motivation going in your mind. Your thoughts are either your enemy or your motivator.

What You Think About Comes About

If you think success, move like a successful person and fuel your body for success, guess what happens? You become successful. That's right, you become and gravitate towards what you think about all day long. Keep your photos up and remind yourself of your desire and how sweet the outcome will be.

Thinking, seeing and speaking success is vital if you want to reach your goad, any goal. Emotionally, physically and spiritually your thoughts, ideals and ideas must line up synergistically. Synergy is the key to any program being successful.

I know how it feels to be extremely overweight and invisible. I know what it is like to live in poverty and feel like everyone is richer than you.

But what I have grown to KNOW is that with the right thinking and the right action and consistency and persistence, reaching your goals, looking and living the way you want is totally possible. I personally and professionally know that your thoughts control your world. The day you change what you think about is the day you will change what you see. With faith and persistence, you will BE what you See!

Start Monday morning, give up the fat building lunch and breakfast, snacks and dinner and trade them in for fat blasting meals.

That's right if you stay committed, you will lose all your bulges and he will want you to wear a cover up! Give him a taste of his own medicine. You go for it girl and don't quit until you are poolside!

Some things are meant to be changed, and weight is one of them. If you are overweight, or if you just have some excessive pounds you want to get rid of, you should do something about it and you should start now. Body weight affects us more than some people think, appearance overall has amazing affect on our daily routines, more than you can even imagine. Even tough people usually avoid these kind of topics, in today's world good looking people have advantages. And why wouldn't you want to become one of them? Make your life easier, and not to mention healthier. I'm willing to offer you some valuable tips in how to get started:

1. Diet:

Starting a diet is always hard, you don't have to go all in on the beginning, take small steps. Like dividing your meals, make six smaller meals a day, rather than three big ones. It's scientifically proved its easier to control weight with that method. It takes around three weeks for a normal person to get used to his new lifestyle or a change in it. Therefore you have to hold on the first few days and stick with your plan, after that you will be amazed on how you were struggling at the beginning.

2. Exercise:

Again, starting slowly is always a good idea. You will be able to adapt to your new diet and exercise changes easier. Running or cycling will help you lose your weight quickly, but remember, you have to be consistent. Have a plan, and stick to it. There are no "I will do it tomorrow" sentences. You do it now. And if you want something badly enough, you can make time.

3. Friends:

Try to get someone to do all this with you, it will help. Your friends are your allies. You can help and encourage each other, it will lead to better and more efficient workouts.

4. Progress:

As you progress, try to track it. Make photos of yourself, do different diagrams. It will help you stay motivated, your body will be changing and that is always fun to see.

5. Hard times:

If things get hard remember what you are doing it for, picture your goal and see yourself achieving it. And the most important thing of them all it never, and i mean NEVER to give up. Even if you don't see it, if you keep your consistency, things will get better.

And to summarize, get a plan, stick to it, do it slowly so you can adapt, track your progress and NEVER give up.

Fat Loss 4 Idiots - The Last Review

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Burn That Fat - The Fast Easy Way!

Here's what I think:

I wanna burn that fat the fast easy way!

If they tell me that it's going to take 10 months to lose 10 pounds then I don't want to go there!

I mean... gimme a break!

It may be slow and steady and easy on my body but it's going to take years to lose any appreciable number of pounds.

I guess if it was one pound a week and you could rely on it happening then it might be OK... that way you'd be losing 50 pounds in a year; which is OK if you've only got 50 pounds to lose.

But what if you want to lose 100 pounds or more... what then; what's the plan for that?

I think we have to see some serious results quickly or we'll lose hope real fast. I think something like 10 pounds in the first 10 days sounds like a reasonable plan and then 2 pounds a week forever, until you've reached your target weight.

And another thing... it should be easy!

I mean, I don't want to be going around feeling hungry all the time; hanging on by my fingernails as I struggle to resist the temptation to grab a quick delicious high carb snack!

Been there... done that!

So here's the scoop... the trick is to first get rid of that carb craving. Anyway you do it is good, but if you can find a way to do it without feeling hungry then you're on a roll.

That carb craving is your major enemy!

This is what has defeated you in the past and it will defeat you again and again until you find an effective way to get rid of it so you aren't continually challenged to fall off your program.

Let me show you how to do that.

I can show you how to get this started in just 5 days! You'll lose 5 pounds in 5 days or 10 pounds in 10 days and you won't be hungry!

I have recently written a book entitled "Lose Weight - Never Go Hungry" which lays out a plan for overcoming Carbohydrate addiction and losing weight.

How You Think Determines How You Feel About Yourself

What do you think about when it comes to weight loss? Are your thoughts about yourself in line with how you want to feel about yourself? Many people determine their present actions on what they feel. But did you know that feelings stem from thoughts? Before a feeling is felt it was thought out. Therefor, it's safe to say that if you want to feel a certain way then it is imperative that you think about it first.

When it comes to weight loss, are your thoughts supportive of the goals you want to accomplish? Are you thinking about how great a person you really are? Are you thinking about how successful of a person you really are? If not, your chances of being successful at weight loss are short lived. The mind must be full of success so in turn it creates an emotion that makes you feel good. Many people create doubts in their minds. They say negative things about themselves so in turn their emotions reflect a certain amount of fear and disappointment which eventually creates low self-worth. Emotions are very powerful and must be kept in check in order for you to take action but most importantly feel good about yourself. You must be able to look at yourself in the morning mirror and say how good looking you are and fantastic you feel. It might be difficult for you right now since perhaps you are probably really far from where you really would like to be. But it must start in the mind. You must create in your mind the outcome that you are looking for so that it translates into emotions that make you feel good. Ultimately, those feelings will create action and energy toward a direction that you want go into.

It starts in the mind. You can do it now. All it takes is an eager want to change and say that this is the person who I want to be. Do it. You can and I believe in you. Only you can do it. And I believe that you can. Start creating in your mind what it is that you want. How do you see yourself? Perhaps 10lbs, 20lbs, 50lbs, 100lbs lighter. Create that seed of action in your mind so that it germinates into reality. I believe in you. I'll be cheering you on.

Weight Loss Camps For Adults

Weight loss camps for adults first materialised during the early 1980s and were based on the familiar summer camp experience. These camps, not only for adults, but teenagers alike, are an excellent choice for those looking to find healthy ways to lose weight, gain motivation, and with the added benefit of meeting and making new friends along the way. Weight loss camps for adults, or fitness holidays, are now becoming as popular as following well known diet plans.

In the early days, such activities were known as "fat farms" or "boot camp" weight loss programs. These early programs failed to address essential behavioural and emotional experiences, such as body image and body acceptance issues. True effective weight loss management is about understanding the patients emotional experiences as well as the physical problems to be overcome.

Many experts would agree that results are short-lived because true behavioural change can only occur with the understanding of healthy living principles, and how to deal with related emotions and stresses the patient may well be experiencing in everyday life. A good weight loss camp should not just be about diet and exercise but about tailoring a programme to meet individual needs.

Thankfully, weight loss camps for adults have come a long way since those early days of the 1980's. The key to successful weight loss is making changes in your eating and physical activity habits that you can keep up for the rest of your life. A good weight loss camp will develop an exercise and nutrition program specific to each individual needs and capabilities that can be continued long after leaving the camp. The staff of a good camp should include qualified counsellors, nutritionists, registered dieticians, psychologists and exercise physiologists. Each plays a very important role in providing a complete programme to promote healthy living.

For families wanting to work together, there are weight loss and fitness camps consisting of communities of parents, children and staff working together to achieve the same fitness goals. These camps are designed to help adults and children alike embrace a healthy lifestyle, and discover just how fun and rewarding it can be for the family to get fit and stay fit together. Many families who enrol on these programs lose weight and return home feeling fitter and more motivated to continue a more healthy active lifestyle.

If you are looking for a fun but hard work way of finding much needed motivation to lose weight and get fit, then weight loss camps for adults can be an excellent starting point for losing excess body fat and starting a new healthy and fitter lifestyle.

Weight Loss Consequences, Physical or Emotional?

Have you ever considered following a weight loss process, if you have then chances are that most people tell you about how simple, easy, and utterly accessible it is; however you will hardly hear about the negative consequences that it may provoke in your physical and mental self, which is why this article is meant to be a source of information for all of those people who are not quite sure of their decision yet, and have to learn about the various weight loss consequences that they can expect.

First of all let me tell you that weight loss is truly simple, it is just a matter of willpower and dedication, that is it. Just lay back on the amount of calories you take, practice some exercise, and dedicate yourself to your body a little more than you used to. However the weight loss consequences for following these advices are not always so easy to handle, they mean cutting off your favorite drinks, meals and deserts. It also means that you will have less time to do the things that you enjoy the most, and here is exactly where these weight loss consequences come into play.

You will probably feel depressed for a while when following a weight loss method, especially if you do not start seeing results fast. What happens is that you start thinking if all that sacrifice is really worth it, seeing that you have only lost a few pounds, what's the point of all these weight loss efforts anyway? But you need to be consistent, if you drop your efforts by the moment you start thinking about that, then you will lose all progress, which means that your weight loss motivation will be as good as gone.

Weight loss consequences are not physical at all; some people suffer from different minor problems at first, but only those who follow a starving diet or an overwhelming weight loss exercise routine. If you take your time and pace yourself, there is no possible danger that you may suffer, but the weight loss consequences may present themselves in the form of mental problems.

In order to avoid these weight loss consequences, just remember that you are following the process in order to become a healthier person, remember the very reasons why you decided to follow the methods in the first place, and have a lot of faith in the upcoming results, I can guarantee that they will be worth your time.

The Importance of Stretching - A Whole New View

Stretching: Here is a first step we can all do when trying to motivate ourselves to become more involved with Health & Fitness. Start your training program here.

Stretching is highly important, useful and vital to the construct of the human anatomy. So much so, that the designer and Creator of this endless marvel has built it into our nature as an involuntary act. The average person stretches as needed 95 percent of the time with little to no awareness that he or she is even doing it. It is such a key function that God didn't even leave it up to us to make sure it happened. Sure, we can choose to stretch when we want, but we do not need to be so actively involved each time such movement is needed or necessary.

Now I'm not speaking of the kind of stretching one does before or after a workout or training session. Nor am I referring to the times that it is necessary because of a cramp or soreness. I am only identifying your common everyday stretch. The stretch you do prior to standing up from watching TV during the commercials, or getting up from your desk at work or even getting up first thing in the morning. However, such stretches can be incorporated into your daily or weekly training plan. I strongly encourage you to become more actively involved in common everyday stretching. Add these stretches to your Health & Fitness plan. Why?

Well, first of all, they are easy to do. You don't need any fancy equipment or fitness training tools. Secondly, they can be done anywhere. I do mean anywhere. No one will be any the wiser, suspect or lost as to your 'curious' behavior. And thirdly they are not time consuming in any fashion.

But what's the most important reason? What takes place, what happens on the inside, when you find your self needing to stretch? Well, when do you find yourself needing to stretch the most? When you're tired and needing to stay awake, when you've sat still for too long, when your muscles ache, twitch or fall asleep & even when you first wake up in the morning. This is because stretching stimulates muscle, it improves your breathing which helps to oxygenate the blood, it increases blood flow to the brain and it helps to increase your heart rate. It also strengthens and relaxes muscle and improves body composition and stature.

Have you ever noticed when becoming tired you feel compelled to yawn? Yawning is a stretch and it helps to oxygenate the blood and increase flow to the brain. There is a 'monitoring control center' that keeps track of certain functions in the body. When the nervous system relates back to the brain that these functions are operating below their proper levels ... you yawn.

So I say all of this to encourage you to stretch more often. Do it on purpose, do it knowing what you're doing, but by all means do it. It's a great start to the best workout.

Lose Weight in Breasts - Take a Little Off the Top!

In this article we are going to discuss a problem that not many women will openly acknowledge as one of the primary reasons for wanting to lose weight - they are unhappy with the size and shape of their breasts! Interestingly enough, and this is a phenomenon that is even much more shunned with men, but there is a large and ever growing population in the male community who are taking dramatic steps to diminish the size of their chest fat as well. Read on as we look at this touchy issue a little bit closer, for good news for both sexes alike!

It is important to remember that there really aren't any specific diets designed to target the breast area. No matter what you read, or hear advertised, weight comes off the body in fairly even distribution, and there is absolutely NO diet in the world that will work more aggressively in one part of the body over another. This does not mean that it won't be more NOTICABLE in one part of the body over another though. And the breasts, both in women and in men are one of the very first places to show significant losses! So this is good news for ANYONE who is self conscious about the size of their breasts, or the fat on the chest.

It is actually ironic that some women claim that while they love their new bodies after our diet, they only wish their breasts hadn't "shrunk" as well..:-) But that is what happens, there are exercises of course you can do to keep yourself toned and lean and looking phenomenal though, so don't worry about your chest if you've lost too much weight...it's going to look great as well! And for men, you will see the same effects, the first place you should notice weight loss will be in your face and neck, and then VERY shortly thereafter, your chest fat WILL start to melt away as well.

It looks like men and women have a little bit more in common than we thought..:-)

No More Chubby Tummy I told My Hubby!

Read on...to discover how you can lose weight, feel great, and turn heads on the beach, in the boardroom and in the bedroom...guaranteed!

(Even if you've never lost a pound on ANY diet ever before!)

What Are The Best Diet Pills Over The Counter

Can modern medicine play a role in the struggle against obesity? Xenical has traditionally been a prescription only capsule prescribed to obese patients, and recently, the FDA released the other diet pills over the counter - Alli.

Both products contain the active ingredient Orlistat, a lipase inhibitor that helps prevent fat being absorbed into the body.

1. SAFETY OF OF XENICAL AND ALLI DIET PILLS DIET PILLS

When taken at meal times, Orlistat reduces the amount of fat that is broken down in the stomach and absorbed into the body by about 30%. Instead, fats are expelled naturally in faces, thus helping towards weight loss.

It sounds ideal for those of us who struggle to keep to a healthy diet. However, the active ingredient, Orlistat, is usually only prescribed to obese people with a body mass index in excess of 30kg/m. So if you are not dangerously overweight, it may not be the right option for you.

2. SIDE EFFECTS - - Uncontrollable anal discharges (taking this drug could result in embarrassing situations)

- Oily stools

- Diarrhea or loose stools

- Liver inflammation

- Fatigue.

3. ARE THERE ANY SAFE EFFECTIVE ALTERNATIVES?

There are hundreds of weight loss products on the market, but few have been clinically proven to be effective. There are products on the market that are proven to have very similar benefits to Orlistat in reducing fat in take, but with out the nasty side effects.

* Hoodia - You can consider this diet capsule to get rid of your obesity problems naturally. Supplements in Hoodia features high potential to reduce weight significantly. I has the capacity to restrain your appetite by up to 2000 calories each day.

* Opuntia Ficus-Indica - Another most valuable natural weight loss supplements to reduce your weight. It is also called as Barbary or Indian Fig. It is very effective in the process of weight loss. Researches have found that cacti fibers are of great use, when it encounters exess fat. It holds up instantly and creates big molecule for your body to take up. Moreover, this process helps to reduce the cholesterol level in your bloodstream.

* Shellfish - It greatly help to reduce your weight above your expected level. It is advisable by the dieticians to consume three times a week to get a positive outcome.

* Proactol - the UK weight loss pills is a relatively new weight management product that also reduces fat from the food we eat by around 30%, but in a different way.

It is a safe, clinically proven fat binder based on a patented fiber complex, that rather than just preventing fat from being broken down, pulling in fat molecules and binding them into a viscous solution in the stomach. Fat is prevented from entering the body without the embarrassing side effects. Initial user feedback is extremely positive, and as well as reducing fat intake.

4. BENEFITS

- Helps to suppress appetite

- Helps to reduce cholesterol levels

- Decreases food cravings

As with the most weight loss supplements, the best way is the combination with a healthy diet and exercise.

Cutting Exercises - A Bodybuilding Myth?

One of the most common goals of fitness enthusiasts is to have low levels of body fat covering their hard-earned muscles. Whether the individual is an athlete that wants to look good in and out of uniform or a fitness instructor that wants to have "toned" arms, everyone is looking for the most effective exercises to reach their goals.

There is certainly no shortage of opinions when it comes to training programs and exercises that trainers and magazines seem to promote to reach these goals, so it is understandable that many bodybuilders and gym-goers can be overwhelmed by information. But what really confuses me is the claim made by gym employees and fitness authors that certain resistance training exercises are for definition and cutting up.

Believe it or not, but no strength coach or exercise physiologist has been able to prove that one exercise rather than others can promote more definition or toning! Can someone explain how leg extensions are a better exercise for muscle definition than squats? This article will dispel these myths and will reveal the best exercises for meeting the goals of increased muscle definition, which is the correct term for toning, cutting up or getting ripped. In fact, lets just eliminate toning from our vocabulary all together.

First a little background for those without a long history of weight training experience. Bodybuilders (that includes any man or woman that is seeking to improve their bodys appearance!) traditionally perform a number of exercises for a body part during a single resistance training session. For example, in a chest workout one might start with bench presses, move to incline dumbbell press, and finish with dumbbell flyes or the pec-deck.

Now according to many personal trainers and fitness magazines, the rationale behind this type of program is that the pressing exercises are best for strength and mass development and the pec-deck would provide for definition. Also, people believe that these definition exercises should be emphasized in order to develop a ripped body (that is, low levels of body fat). Unfortunately, it seems bodybuilders and fitness buffs alike have been led astray, and the end result is a poorly planned program that does not lead to the desired results.

Next we need a brief, yet simplistic, review of human anatomy and physiology to reason why these cutting exercises (i.e. pec-deck) do not do the job. For our purposes there are 2 components determining body composition, muscle and fat. For most people it is the amount of fat that is the limiting factor for them in the development of muscular definition and not the quality of their muscle. If an overweight individual were to be stripped of all their fat, they too would have muscle definition.

On the other hand, a skinny individual can increase their muscle definition by lifting weights and increasing muscle hypertrophy (growth). The body cannot tell the difference between exercises! It responds according to the demands applied to the body. If you lift weights the muscle will grow so that it is stronger and can lift the weight easier the next time. If you eat too much and do not exercise, the energy is deposited as fat and your muscle definition will be lost. It is a very simple equation!

The pec-deck can still be incorporated into workout designs, but it is not the best exercise for promoting a better body composition. In fact, this isolation exercise recruits only the chest muscles and ignores the triceps and deltoids, unlike the previously mentioned presses. And remember that more muscles result in greater energy expenditure and a greater overall training stimulus.

Another myth that seems to propagate is that sets performed for a very high number of repetitions are most effective for cutting up. Refer back to the basic anatomical principle that the bodys appearance is determined by the amounts of both muscle and fat, and most importantly that low levels of body fat are necessary for muscle definition. Using a lightweight to do a huge number of repetitions might not show off your muscles better than using a moderate weight and performing a moderate number of repetitions.

Why not? Because there would likely be no difference in the amount of total calories burned between the two workouts provided each performed a similar exercise volume in the workout. The greater number of repetitions in the one workout would be offset by the greater intensity (weight) used in the other workout. However, a heavier weight will stimulate more muscle growth. More muscle results in a faster metabolism and theoretically greater energy expenditure at rest. So over the long haul the more intense (heavier lifting) workout may be the optimal choice for reducing body fat. In addition, larger muscles are easier to see!

Okay, so what is going to bring you the results (i.e. definition) that you want? Keep the exercises basic and intense (i.e. moderate to heavy weight). Most bodybuilders are better off to do 4-5 sets of bench and incline presses (for a total of 8-10 sets) rather than including 3 sets of pec-deck in the traditional manner. The volume of exercise will be the same but the difficulty of exercise will be harder and the cumulative effects will greater.

Aerobic exercise is not essential for low levels of body fat but can certainly promote greater cardiovascular fitness and help prevent excessive weight gain. Interval training has now been shown in 2 studies to be more effective than slow cardio.

So stick with multi-muscle strength exercises and interval training to burn more calories out of the gym. It really adds up to more calorie burn and less body fat. That is a far better approach than relying on cutting exercises.

And finally, make the proper dietary changes to promote muscle gains and body fat reductions. Nutrition is the #1 factor for fat loss. If you don't have good nutrition, no exercise program will help you lose fat. In the end you will be healthier and will achieve superior muscle definition!

How To Lose Weight After Christmas And New Years Holidays

Just imagine how much you would like to fulfill your New Years resolution: to start losing weight as soon as possible. Let's face it: during Christmas and New Years you probably ate more than usual. And there's nothing wrong with that! I mean we all tend to eat more than usual during holidays, because we meet with our friends and family, we talk, we eat, we laugh... It's life!

Now, after the Christmas and New Years are over, it's time for you to start shedding those unwanted pounds. How are you going to do that? Here are few quick tips for you:

• Drink lots of water - as you might already know, you should drink at least 1.5 liters of water a day. Do I need to mention that water is good filler? If you want to eat less food, then drink a TALL glass of water half an hour before every meal. This water will not only fill a large part of your stomach, but your body will feel like your stomach is not empty

• Start doing exercises - This is really a no brainer and I bet you already knew this, but it doesn't do any harm to be reminded once again: you will need to put your body into use by walking or doing some form of physical exercise. I suggest you start with walking, or you can try running on a treadmill. Start slow and small.

• Avoid snacks and fast food - Fast food is highly powered food that tricks the stomach into calling for more despite the fact that one big burger is the caloric equivalent of an entire meal. Instead of eating snacks and fast food, I suggest you eat some fruit; it's much healthier for you.

• Eat more often but smaller portions of food - I know that during New Years Holidays you probably had large meals, and that's why people usually gain weight during these holidays. Now I want you to do the exact opposite thing: start eating smaller portions of food and eat more often. By all means, do not starve yourself.

• Consider using natural weight loss supplements - If you haven't considered using them, now is the right time! Natural weight loss supplements can really help you a lot to shed those unwanted pounds that you gained during Christmas and New Years!

There you have it ladies and gentlemen. As you can see, those tips are no rocket science, they are all practical methods that you probably knew about, but you just didn't develop a habit of doing them. Happy weight loss!

High Protein Diets And Weight Loss!

The reason why most diets do not work is due to the body's conservation capacity. During a diet, the body protects itself against what it perceives as starvation. It does this by cannibalizing the lean muscle tissue that uses up calories.

Diets that take off more than two pounds in a week primarily remove the water and lean tissue from the body. Diets that are based on water pills (diuretics) do this directly, but the same effects are felt by most low-carbohydrate diets.

Many high protein diets usually produce weight loss for some time. This is because the body only uses as much protein as needed and the rest is changed to ammonia, which must be cleared from the body. The liver produces the amino acids required to convert this ammonia into urea, which is then passed out in the urine. Urea and ammonia are toxic to the body and are said to be hard on the kidneys and liver.

People lose weight rapidly because of loss of water as the kidneys draw moisture from the tissues in order to flush these protein waste products from the body. This means, the body chooses the lesser of the evils and forfeits necessary hydration to get rid of the toxins.

The reason we put on weight once the diet ends is because the desiccated tissues are quickly rehydrated and the lost weight regained.

The result of a high protein diet is that it makes the dieter feel tired and the burning of calories reduces. Since the body is trying to prevent starvation, it starts to use up tissues that burn calories, which are the lean muscle tissues - instead of the fat that the dieter actually wants to lose.

Lose Weight And Keep It Off Forever By Adding A Little More To Your Weight Loss Program

You can lose weight and keep it off by doing a few extra things while you are dieting. It is more important to get rid of excess weight quickly than to spend your life having to deal with health and self-esteem issues related to being overweight. Here are some things that will make a huge difference in your weight loss efforts.

• Do some exercise every day. Include weights in your exercise routine. Just using five or seven pound weights during your walking or other daily workout routine will make it easier for you to lose weight. Weights increase your muscle mass so that you boost your metabolism and burn fat more easily.
• Drink enough water each day. Even if you have been told this many times before, take a look at how much water you are actually drinking every day. Water helps the body to flush out fat and will also decrease the appearance of cellulite on the body.
• If you look better, others will perceive you as being more intelligent and worthy. This is a shame, but the truth is that most people are very superficial in their dealings with others. When you lose weight and dress better more opportunities will become available to you.
• You will live longer and be in better overall health by losing weight and staying at or near your ideal body weight. This will result in less illness and injury and give you a better quality of life as well.

In a study of 60 women separated into hypnosis versus non-hypnosis groups, the groups using hypnosis lost an average of 17 pounds, while the non-hypnosis group lost an average of only .5 pounds (Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 1986).
