Shed Off Extra Pounds Quickly with These 6 Easy Steps

By Thong M. Dao

If you are like many people who are trying to lose weight, you have probably tried diet after diet only to find out that the diet you are currently on is not helping your fat loss plans. The reason for this might be that you are using fad diets and weight loss programs that do damage to the body instead of helping it achieve its ideal weight. If you want to lose fat and stay healthy follow the following tips to help you achieve your goal.

1. Check everything you eat from the food itself to what you top it with. Condiments and garnishments may destroy a healthy meal since they're generally high in fat.

2. Get a handle on the sweet tooth. It does not mean you cannot consume your confectioneries; but do not have them as a meal. Don't forget that they will end up adding to an area that you do not want them to. Do not deprive yourself either, as after that you will eat twice as many as you should.

3. Fix times to have meals and stick to it. Try to have food at fixed times of the day. You can stretch these times by half an hour, but anything more than that is going to affect your eating pattern, the result will either be a loss of appetite or that famished feeling which will make you stuff yourself with more than what is required the next time you eat.

4. Eat only if you're hungry. Make certain to consume a glass of water first to find out whether you truly are hungry or thirsty. A lot of folks have the inclination to eat whenever they see foods. This does not mean they're hungry; they merely wish to have them. Do not eat whatever you are offered unless you actually are hungry. When you feel you must have it out of being polite, simply nibble, do not consume a meal.

5. Try not to snack between meals, but if you must have a snack make sure it is a healthy one. If you travel a lot try to find healthy snacks and not junk food.

6. Vegetables make excellent snacks. These could get you over the hunger pangs when you're suffering them. Carrots are good since they satisfy crave and they're packed with nutrients. - 17274

Toned Abs, Tight Jeans

By Dan Solaris

An overwhelming number of people in the Western countries are becoming overweight and findings from the latest CDCP data show that as much as 66% of Americans are way above their ideal body weight. This can be credited to the eating habits we've adopted as well as our daily activities that entail sitting on our butts the whole day- from the office to our cars and on the sofa at home.

Life as we know it today is indeed on a faster track and it's becoming increasingly difficult to find time to work-out the extra calories we get from the fast, convenient but high-calorie food we dine on. As a result, a lot of folks are forced to wear loose slacks with elastic waists- not really considered avante garde in these times.

Keeping our weight down through constant exercise is the fastest way to trim the inches around our bellies and fit in those favorite pair of denims exiled deep in our closet. True that maintaining a regular workout regimen seems impossible with our hectic schedules, but with the myriad of benefits we get through regular exercise it's ridiculous not to.

The elevated metabolism, a more positive mood, stronger immune system and several other health improvements we gain by exercising constantly puts to rest any questions whether making the effort to sweat it out each day is worth it. Another plus factor in working-out (a good one to think about to stay motivated) is being able to wear nicer clothes and look great in public.

Regular exercise is also a perfect stress reliever- quite useful in these financially hard times. Hypertension brought about by too much stress is one of the major causes of death right now in the world's top urban centers. Aside from lengthening our lives, working-out and getting lean will give us a more positive outlook because of endorphins released by the brain after intense activity. Remember- positivity begets productivity and happiness.

Tight, toned abs, a sculpted physique and stress release- all this can be gained with the proper exercise regimen. Even people that have less than an hour a day to exercise can reap the benefits by maximizing their aerobic and strength-building exercises.

Cardiovascular exercises have long been known to be the best way to burn calories from body fat, but one needs to keep at it for at least an hour in order to burn enough calories and facilitate fat-loss. For folks whose schedules are packed, intensifying cardio and muscle-building routines will let them reap the same weight-loss benefits for less than an hour each day.

Fact: Fat burn doesn't occur until after the first 10-15 minutes of conventional aerobic exercise. The heart rate and metabolism need to reach a certain point for our bodies to start burning energy from calories. Starting cardio sessions at higher intensity will jump-start our metabolism- resulting in immediate fat burn. Shortening rest periods in between weight-lifting sets will also increase our heart rate during anaerobic workouts- allowing us to get the benefits of cardio while building muscle. - 17274

Cabbage Soup Diet, Another Low To No Carb Diets

By Christine G. Shannon

You may have heard of the Cabbage Soup Diet. Many people have lost immediate weight the first week or two they go on this diet, but have lost interest after that and regained the weight, which is much like the results on other low to no carb diets. For a diet to work long term, it must offer enough variety to be enjoyed and eaten over a period of time.

This diet is also known as a fat burning soup diet and contains ingredients which are considered to play a role in burning fat. Other than the soup itself, the dieter doesn't have many choices other than low carb and no carb items like fruits and vegetables.

By looking at what goes into this fat burning soup, you can see why the cabbage soup diet is considered a low to no carb diet. This soup is made of vegetables which help burn fat; peppers, tomatoes, onions and of course cabbage. You can also substitute cauliflower, broccoli, kale or other members of the cabbage family for the cabbage in this recipe and add seasonings to taste.

This is a diet which is very low in carbohydrates, which your body converts to sugar - the unused energy is then stored as fat. This is a low carb vegetable soup, made with ingredients which encourage your body to burn fat and lose weight. It works for most, but since most of these dieters quickly lose interest in the diet, it is only effective in the short term.

This is how the diet works: you can all the soup you like any time that you want. Other than the soup, you can eat fruit (other than bananas) on day 1. On day two you can eat vegetables, other than corn, peas and beans. You can also have a baked potato along with the soup for dinner on day two, since this is meant to trick your body into thinking that you are adding carbs back to your diet.

Day three allows fruits and vegetables, day four you can have bananas and skim milk. On day five, you can eat lean meat and tomatoes; day six allows leafy greens and lean meat. On day seven, brown rice can be eaten. This isn't a diet which offers a lot of variety, not to mention protein. This is why many do not manage to stick with the fat burning soup diet for very long.

The cabbage soup diet is a lot like the other low to no carb diets; it limits your carb intake. It also does not limit how often or how much you can eat, but it does limit your choices.

While the cabbage soup diet doesn't restrict how many times a day you eat, and is like other low to no carb diets, the best diet is one that would include fat burning foods, as well as a variety of nutritional food, allow you to eat numerous times a day, that you could lose weight on and stick with long-term, like FatLoss4Idiots program that is highly recommended in the link below. - 17274

How to Juice Yourself to Great Health

By Aaron Benjamin

Breville has produced one of the most interesting kinds of juice extractors for sale. This type is one that features a singular juicing cone and provides helpful safety features for all the people in your home. This is the Breville Die-Cast Citrus Press and it is one of the best juice extractors to use on the market. Another great product to consider is the Breville JE900 Juice Fountain Professional Juice Extractor.

The Breville Die-Cast Citrus Press is a juicer that is special its unique juicing cone. This is the Quadra-Fin juicing cone. This cone is easy to tweak and can be sized to be compatible with a number of different foods for juicing, covering most things from apples to grapefruits. It is also easy for the cone to go along with the food so that it will get every bit of juice. The best part about this is that you won't have to change cones for different sorts of ingredients.

The Active-Arm press on the top of the juicer is yet another valuable features here. This works to help sense the arm's position on the handle so that it will be less trouble to know when to start the juicer. It can eject with ease through one push of a button. What's more important about this feature is that it will only start when there is nothing in it but the fruit, making it a less dangerous juice extractor to use. The Breville JE900 is another product to look into.

The spout utilized is another neat feature of this extractor. The spout could be pushed upward once the juicing process is finished; as a result, it will be easier to cut back on dripping and will let you make juice with less of a mess.

Another quality feature is that the whole juicer is made with high quality stainless steel. This material is considered durable and will remain in good condition for extended stretches of time without becoming weakened by corrosion.

A dual switch is also used to keep you safe. This switch works in that the cone will not rotate until the arm on the top is fully lowered and enough pressure is being placed upon it. This stops the juicer from accidentally spinning when fingers are in the way.

Another great safety feature is the Assist Plug. This uses a small finger hole to work with, allowing for the electrical outlet to be unplugged with ease.

The Breville Die-Cast Citrus Press is considered one of the best juice extractors to use in the home. This extractor works well because it can manage any type of food for juicing without making you switch cones for varied types of foods. It is also appreciated for its safety, since it does not operate until enough force is used. Due to these special functions, it can be considered one of the most notable juice extractors that can be found today, along with the Breville JE900 Juice Fountain Professional Juice Extractor. - 17274

Exercise Videos - Why They Work

By Jose Loni

Exercise videos are a real advantage when it comes to convenience. Being able to watch the video anytime, saving time and saving money. No bulky expensive machines to take up space in your home. It's an easy way to learn new movements, visualizing what is being explained, and see how it's done.

No more excuses not exercising. With exercise videos, you can exercise at your convenience. You don't have to deal with aggressive salespeople at gyms, nor do you even need to get out of your house to get a workout in. In short, no related inconveniences of driving, traffic, parking, stress, etc. Just clear a space, pop in the video and start your workout whenever you're ready.

Squeezing large, heavy exercise equipment into our homes poses a challenge to most of us as well as paying for its cost. With a video, just play, watch and follow. No need to fiddle with buttons and program settings.

Saving money is another advantage. For a one-time cost, you can use the exercise video as many times as you want. Compared to a gym membership, which will require you to pay for a sign up fee, then monthly payments for a committed time period. There is also the further savings on gas and parking expenses, when traveling to and from the gym- your time is money.

A video is also an excellent way to illustrate specific exercise moves that may not be easily interpreted just from reading a book or magazine article.

The new crop of exercise videos are energetic and never boring. Filled with fun exercises that are motivating and clearly explained, the moves are meant to allow the viewer to easily follow them for fat loss success.

Easy explanations, good-looking models showing you how to move yourself to a healthier fit body. Usually, simple exercises are taught so you can do them easily, even without the video playing. It is a great way to start a healthy habit.

So your key to fat loss success could very easily lie in exercise videos and their great enticements. Convenient, accessible, time, money and space saver, and attractively simple - these are all the factors you find doing exercise videos that will keep you focused on fat loss success. - 17274

Flatter Abs - Strength + Fat Loss

By Dan Solaris

Going through the daily grind nowadays takes up more time compared to the previous generations- more traffic, more work to do, more stress. For most people, it seems like there are just not enough hours in a day to be able to do what they want and that includes going to the gym to get flatter abs.

Since I can't really advise you on how to increase your cash flow (a financial adviser might do a better job), I've decided to type-up this article on how to exercise effectively for strength, fat loss and the last elusive goal aforementioned- flatter abs.

Quite a few members of society nowadays have trouble working-out consistently. Lack of exercise combined with the rich, fattening food easily available us have made love-handles and potbellies a normal sight on the street and even on the beach.

The key to getting flatter abs is to lose as much belly fat as you can. This means focusing on losing on body fat loss by burning more calories than is consumed in a day. The only way to do this quickly is through a smart diet and calorie-busting exercises that also keep the body's metabolic rate high.

There are numerous advantages to having well developed muscles- a sexy physique, enough strength to move the couch to look for lost coins, and a higher metabolic rate. That's right- the more we pack-on muscle tissue, the more we're able to keep off extra blubber.

Because muscle tissue consumes calories just by existing, the more buffed we get, the more we're able to fight off flab. If 'The Rock' for example was lounging on the couch, kicking back with David Spade watching Monday Night Football, he'd be burning way more calories than the comedian- even if the latter would be the one in charge of the clicker.

For busy people in a tight schedule, finding time to exercise and get flatter abs is not a lost cause. It's just a matter of sticking to a workout regimen that enables them to burn massive amounts of calories in a short time while boosting their metabolism. This can be achieved through intense cardiovascular exercise and resistance training to improve muscular strength. A key phrase in getting flatter abs: high intensity, more muscle.

In order to be able to be consistent with your cardiovascular exercise sessions, it's important to pick activities that you find fun- hiking, skipping rope, boxing, etc. Better yet, you can even change to a new aerobic activity every once in a while just to break the monotony. Remember that constant exercise is the key to flatter abs. - 17274

Exercise Videos - Are They Better Than E-books?

By Jose Loni

Are exercise videos better than e-books? Technology has advanced so much in the past few years with email, e-books and anything internet-related. Despite that, exercise videos are easier to access and better than e-books. They're also more dynamic and interactive and allow us to accurately go at our own pace with simple steps and great visuals - something that an e-book can't do.

Remember the Jane Fonda exercise video craze? Or how about Suzanne Somers? And who can forget Richard Simmons?

Nowadays, there's belly dancing, pilates, yoga, tae bo the list goes on. No doubt exercise videos have made their mark on us that's why they are still around.

First on the pro list is convenience. Exercise videos don't require much trouble and effort on our part. We don't even need to leave our homes and get hassled driving or dealing with the weather, traffic, parking, and gym sales staff. Just clear a space, press play and workout anytime.

Videos are inexpensive. A one-time cost gives you a lifetime of workouts and if we don't feel like it, we're not pressured to train because our membership is almost up or the gym will be closing in an hour. And there are no monthly fees or hidden costs of gas, parking, and travel time.

For those who prefer privacy, exercise videos are a definite pro. Starting a program can be awkward and if we're not used to certain movements or holding set counts, we easily get self-conscious and lose motivation. Add camouflage clothing versus sleek gym wear and we crawl to our home videos in great relief!

That said, there are the social butterflies who like the interaction they get in gyms. They prefer real time feedback from their instructors and look for encouragement and support from their peers. In fact, the setting inspires them to achieve their goals.

Seeing is learning. That's why exercise videos are better than e-books. The step-by-step visuals, easy accessibility and great dynamics with interactivity all make exercise videos better. The less hassles we encounter, the more motivated we are to workout and to achieve our goals. - 17274

Rock Hard Abs - More Muscle, Less Fat

By Jose Loni

You want less fat? Put on more muscle and the results will be rock hard abs! Everywhere we look, there is always a new ab machine or new exercise promising fantastic results of rock hard abs. Let's keep it simple, put on more muscle, have less fat, get rock hard abs.

Those machines and exercises we see on TV, give you the impression that by training the abs directly, you can spot reduce and have rock hard abs. They give the illusion that you will look like the heavily muscled or the super trim model that they have demonstrating the machine or exercise.

In reality, we will not look like fitness models in just a few weeks of using the product.

Approach it from another way, put on more muscle, increase your metabolism and burn fat so you will have overall less fat and rock hard abs!

When we train to build more muscles, we force our muscles to work at a harder intensity. The increased intensity causes increased metabolic activity within the muscles. With increased metabolic activity, the body must work even harder to provide energy to the muscles, which are working very hard to keep up with the intense exercise activity.

The body must then burn what we eat as fuel, then when we no longer have any food to burn as energy, the body turns to the its fat and begins to use that as fuel to provide energy to the muscles.

During an exercise session, the body trains at a high intensity that causes the muscles to work in an environment that has less oxygen. This causes the body to frantically keep trying to get oxygen to the muscles. When the body has a moment to bring oxygen to the muscles, the muscles increase its metabolic activity by rapidly trying to repair, nourish and remove waste products from the muscles.

This repair and nourishment of the muscles can occur throughout the day and causes the body to burn more calories even after the exercise session is over. As a result, the body becomes a fat burning machine, even when it is not exercising.

Then after a few days of training, the muscles increase in size, which then causes the muscles to increase its activity even more.

When we build muscle, we are really building a fat burning machine in our body that will burn fat, increase fat loss and get us those rock hard abs that we want. - 17274

Knowledge you Must Have to Lose the Fat Reasonably

By Matthew Roberts

When trying to lose weight your health is the number one priority. Many people use diet plans that are hazardous to their health to take off extra pounds quickly. You should never try to lose weight too fast if you want to stay healthy. It is very risky to your health to lose weight at a fast rate and you will likely gain it back anyway.

Starving yourself is one of the techniques many use to lose weight quickly. This is not a good way to lose weight, as it is bad for your health and painful to stick with. You will lose your energy as your body will lack the vitamins and minerals it needs to function properly. You may also develop problems with the skin as well as disorders associated with malnutrition.

Find a good diet plan that makes sense. This type of diet plan will be easier to follow and you can eat food that is nutritious as well as enjoyable to eat. Lettuce or cabbage for every meal will quickly burn you out on your diet. The hollow eyed bony look is not trendy anymore. The focus now is more about the healthy lean look of a physically fit body. A healthy body lets you exercise with ease and develop muscles to burn calories.

Getting the proper exercise is very important when trying to lose weight. Your energy will increase once you begin to exercise regularly. You do not need to follow a strenuous exercise plan to lose weight, just try to become more active such as walking more, using stairs, or even using weights when doing housework.

Use your imagination and come up with some ideas of your own for exercising more and making it more interesting. Work out a plan for what to eat and what exercises to do that you can stick with; this will ensure you will be able to keep off the weight once the initial weight loss period is over.

Losing weight is easier than most believe it to be. You simply cut back on your consumption of calories and keep active. Your body will begin to burn excess fat once you are using more energy than is provided by the food you take in. Follow a healthy diet, count your calories, and follow a regular exercise routine to burn off fat and calories.

When you begin it will be somewhat of an effort. But by using a sensible plan you will know you are providing essential vitamins to your body. Believing in yourself is essential - this is the key to success.

You can find many products on the market that claim to make you lose weight just by taking a pill or other means. Fat binders and blockers are advertised for use in weight loss. The theory is these pills keep the fat from being used by the body and instead it passes through your system and is eliminated in the form of waste.

The fat will bind together and result in the intestines being unable to take it. It sounds like a good idea in theory but this way of removing fat has its disadvantages. This is not a healthy way to keep your body from absorbing fat; it can result in foul smelling stools and excessive diarrhea. This is neither a pleasant experience nor a healthy one for you and your body. - 17274
