Weight loss myths and lies

>>  WEIGHT LOSS INSTANTLY - SIMPLE DIET PLAN THAT MAKES YOU CRAZY - CLICK HERE <<

 

There are several statements circulating in the diet and fitness sector which have been told for decades now and still will be told in the future. Get to know what you can really do to drop weight.

Companies providing sports equipment or diet supplements make millions every year with promises based on wrong theories and information which by the way actually does not mean they don't know better.

Below some of the most common myths and lies about diets are listed and busted.

- Myth: weight loss workouts start to get effective after 20 minutes

What they tell you: When starting your cardio,etc. program the energy needed is mainly taken from glucose. The longer your workout the less glucose will be used, which means the more fat will be used and burnt. You need to go through the first twenty minutes before starting burning fat.

Truth is: The only factor that decides if you drop weight (or put on extra weight) is your energy balance, ie. the difference between calorie intake and calories consumed by physical activities (ALL activities of your body, not only sports). If you eat less than your body needs due to physical activities, your energy balance is negative. Because you didn't give your body enough calories to burn, it needs some other source of energy to compensate. This is what body fat is used for and why you will drop weight (fat). It does not matter how energy is provided (glucose or fat). Since you'll burn calories right from the beginning of your workout, you'll do a weight loss workout from the start.

- Myth: Do cardio a a low level heart frequency

What they tell you: If you keep your heart frequency between 120 to 130 beats a minute, your workout is not too intensive and therefore more fat will be used as energy source (instead of glucose which is used for more intensive activities). As a result, more fat is burnt.

Truth is: The source of energy is irrelevant for reducing fat. Again, if you burn more calories than you get (food), you will reduce your body fat. The source of energy used during workouts does not influence your weight. Result: - The more intensive, the more calories are burnt. - The longer you work out, the more calories will be burnt. This means: Find a trade-off which suits best to your needs and capabilities. Some of you might prefer a slow, extensive cardio program while others like short but exhaustive program. Regarding weight loss only, one program will be as effective as the other one.

- Myth: Certain exercises can reduce fat in specifically regions of your body

What they tell you: Buy their new machines/equipment to cut down fat in your belly region, etc.

Truth is: This so called "spot reducing" is not possible. Doing 1000 crunches each day might tighten your abs, but will not burn fat around your hips. Only your genetics decide where you will drop fat first.

Restriction Operations For Weight Loss

>>  WEIGHT LOSS INSTANTLY - SIMPLE DIET PLAN THAT MAKES YOU CRAZY - CLICK HERE <<

 

Weight loss surgeries are becoming extremely popular nowadays for guaranteed weight loss. Restriction operations are one such option which is most often used for weight loss. Under this form of surgery all our food intake is restricted by creating a small pouch at the top of the stomach where the food enters from the esophagus. Due to the small size of the outlet, the process of emptying of food is delayed from the pouch and causes a feeling of fullness. This process makes us eat less thus helping in the weight loss process.

Restriction operations are normally of two types - gastric banding and vertical banded gastroplasty. Both the types of operations serve only to restrict food intake without interfering our normal digestive process.

In the procedure of gastric banding, a band made of special material is placed around the stomach near its upper end, creating a small pouch and a narrow passage into the larger remainder of the stomach. According to researchers, it might be possible in the near future to perform gastric banding with smaller incisions through a laparoscope. A laparoscope refers to a flexible fiber optic tube and light source through which some surgical instruments may be passed. Laparoscopic gastric banding has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration so far.

The procedure of Vertical banded gastroplasty is the most common and frequently used restrictive operation for weight control. Under this procedure, both a band and staples are used to create a small stomach pouch for restriction of our food intake. The best part about restrictive operations is that it leads to weight loss in almost all patients. However, weight regain does occur in some patients. Still, some patients are unable to adjust their eating habits and fail to lose the desired weight as in all weight-loss operations, successful results depends on the motivation of the person opting for it.Stuart William is a contributing author to the http://Phenterminehome.com for distinct article sites/journals.

Weight Loss Magic

>>  WEIGHT LOSS INSTANTLY - SIMPLE DIET PLAN THAT MAKES YOU CRAZY - CLICK HERE <<

 

Even if I could wave my weight loss coach's little magic wand and make you instantly slimmer I would not do it - no matter how much you begged or pleaded. It's not because I want to keep you overweight and make you unhappy but because I want to see you succeed - permanently.

A magic wand would simply do you no good at all! You would just be back for another wave of the wand in a month or two when you had eaten yourself overweight again. You would be there with your tail between your legs, feeling like a failure, asking "How could I let myself get into this state again?". But without a change in lifestyle and attitude, it's natural that you would get right back to where you were before.

In any case, I don't have a magic wand to offer you - no one does. There is no safe and effective magic pill, potion or patch out there, no matter what the ads say, so quit putting your faith in these things and spending your hard earned cash on every so-called miracle solution.

If you want to find weight loss magic, you already have all you need inside your own brain. You can decide right this minute that you will transform your life, your health and your body. If you take that decision, and mean it, you will get there.

And you don't have to magically transform your life overnight. Unless you have iron willpower, drastic changes to your regime rarely last.

But there is magic in changing your life one or two steps at a time. Start with changes that are relatively painless. Eat less junk, replace it with delicious nourishing food. Move a bit more every day. Eat enough to satisfy your appetite, don't gorge on all the good things on offer.

Feel the power of small successes and use the motivation and momentum they create to help you become slimmer and healthier. You will not have a magic wand but you will see the magic of creating a healthy lifestyle bit by bit in melting away unwanted fat permanently.

Weight loss and Teenagers

>>  WEIGHT LOSS INSTANTLY - SIMPLE DIET PLAN THAT MAKES YOU CRAZY - CLICK HERE <<

 

Obesity has ruined the lives of people of all ages. In most of the countries, a large number of obese population belongs to the teenage group. The worst part about obesity is that it influences the psyche of a person and ignites negative feeling about his own self. The teenagers inflicted with obesity starts to isolate himself/herself from the common people as he/she lacks self-confidence.

The best way of overcoming obesity (http://www.phentermineslim.com/what_is_obesity.html) for teenagers is to inculcate healthy eating habit instead of eating junk stuff. There is no single healthy diet as such but as long as you eat a variety of foods from the main food groups i.e. fruits, vegetables, grains, lean meats, dairy, fats, you?ll get all the vitamins, minerals and other nutrition required for possessing a healthy body.

Eating healthy is better than eating less. Dieting is never considered a healthy and viable option for weight loss as it can damage our physicality. Even a short period of very strict "dieting" during your early teens can lead to low bone density, which causes weak bones in later life. Dieting may also lead to poor intakes of folic acid and iron. Both these nutrients help to prevent anemia, a condition which leads to constant tiredness as well as impaired intellectual performance. Normally, all the teenagers lead a busy life therefore they can't afford to suffer from the ill-effects of anemia or any other ailment for that matter.

Most of us have this notion that healthy eating means exclusion of higher-calorie foods, like rich ice cream, toffee popcorn, cheeseburgers and stuff. But in reality it?s the other way around. You can enjoy these and other similar foods, but in moderation, or as occasional treats. Healthy eating means eating everything in moderation as it can provide our body all the required nutrients.

Strict dieting won't make your weight or health any better. In most of the cases, it?ll make the situation worse. Therefore, it?s better to focus on eating healthy food and taking daily exercise. It will take care of your weight and health.

Close Kept Secrets to Weight Loss Lesson

Imagine your life exactly as you want it to be! What does it look like, what does it feel like?

Years ago after I had gone through my illness experience (I prefer to explain it as my "enlightening"), I began to feel and sense things on such a profound level. Things were opening up for me and becoming very expansive. This scared me somewhat as I couldn't understand what was happening. When I went back to my energy practitioner, she explained that I was opening up all my energy fields and thus was allowing who I truly am to come to be. I am being who God intended.

Do we all have this capability? Absolutely! We are meant to experience things on such a grander scale, but our layers of stuff prevent us from coming into contact with who we really are.

Take a few moments. Sit back and close your eyes. Wait! Don't close your eyes yet....WHEW! Okay, read this first and then close your eyes.

If you were going to describe your life to someone, and you could only use descriptive words, which words would you use? Use a lot of detail to describe it. If you say it is rich, what does this mean? Describe rich.

Take a few moments and use your imagination.

What does your life look like? What do you see?

What does it feel like? What's the texture?

What sound does your life make?

What does it taste like?

When you speak of your life, what do you say?

Now tap into your sixth sense. This is Spirit, the Universe calling to you. What is your purpose?

You know what has been interesting? As I think about who I was and attracting my illness to help me do my introspective work, I'm amazed at how far I've come. I used to be a rescuer, the one who needed to make it okay for others, especially my ex-husband. I was the poster child for Manager of the Universe, leaving me last.

I can now describe my life in such vivid, enriching terms. Without my own energy clearing, I wouldn't have been able to do this though. I needed to clear a lot of internal stuff that was standing in the way of me living a deeper, richer life. Now I'm here living my life on purpose and it feels incredible!

Recently, I've encountered more men who are the rescuers, the managers of the Universe, the ones who need to make it okay for their partners. This isn't just unique to women; men also have these patterns of behavior as well.

Why am I attracting these men? Because men don't talk about their issues with others, and I can certainly relate to their pattern of behavior. I can teach them to release so they can find their way back to their wholeness. It's time to release having to be it for someone else. We only need to be responsible for our own lives.

If your layers prevent you from calling forth that which God intends, perhaps you are in need of energy clearing to release your stuff. Visit my website at http://www.tamiclose.com and take advantage of my weight loss program, which includes energy clearing.

There is value in feeling tremendous love for oneself. You feel goosebumps all the time. You have this amazing energy and zest for life. You wake up each day anticipating miracles.

Do it for you! You are the priority! You are enough and you do deserve!

Love and hugs,

Tami http://www.tamiclose.com

Weight Loss 6

Do you wish for all-natural, fast diet pills with real results?

You probably would say ?yes?. Granted, no matter how far back in time we go, there were always overweight people. However, the numbers have been rising steadily for the past 60 years with the steepest climb taking place within the last 30 years. During this short period of time, the number of overweight Americans has gone from 1 in 8 to almost 1 in 2. This dramatic four fold increase accounts for the more than 100 million Americans who are now overweight.

The majority of us who are overweight have struggled with this for much of our lives. This is not something new. It is not because we are lazy or weak. It is because you have not used the right dieting strategy yet.

You shouldn?t be dependent on fast diet pills because they tend to be more fairy tale than reality. If fast diet pills really exists, we would live in a much, more (no pun intended) ?skinner? world. Perhaps, in the near future, the cure for obesity will be discovered and cure the millions of overweight and obese individuals across the world.

Meanwhile, we must make-do with the diet strategies we have to resolve other weight issues and avert any chronic life-threatening conditions that would occur if we gain more weight than we can handle. The simplest solution at the moment is to eat properly , exercise more and more importantly, don?t try any diet solution unless it?s thoroughly planned and thought out by your doctor and/or dietitian.

We spend hundreds of dollars on weight loss products to help us slim down. Most of the time, we are unsatisfied with the results of a particular, popular and hyped up diet solution and rarely get our money back at the end.

We all wish that we could have a mix of ?free diets? solutions to win our battle against obesity and keep the weight off. Lucky for us, because of the Internet, we can take advantage of free diets from the comforts of our home or office. These free diets are usually from one week to one month diet pills or patches, weight loss companies? offer their diet pills and patches to prospective users as the best diet solution to weight loss. Unfortunately, they tend not to work and customers get stuck with credit or debit card charges they don?t want.

Weight Loss After Pregnancy - What They Didn?t Tell You!

>>  WEIGHT LOSS INSTANTLY - SIMPLE DIET PLAN THAT MAKES YOU CRAZY - CLICK HERE <<

 

Sarah is a pregnant mother of three who continues to breast-feed her 18-month-old.

After each of her pregnancies, she has had difficulty losing weight.

With all of her responsibilities, weight loss isn?t a priority. Still, she wishes that, once this pregnancy is over, she will be able to return to her pre-marriage weight.

The average woman gains more than 25 pounds during her pregnancy. The procedure of childbirth may result in a weight loss of up to 14 pounds, which means that new moms still have considerable weight to lose once they leave the hospital.

However, some women simply assume that this ?baby fat? will never go away. Yet, it is entirely possible to lose weight during the post-partum period. A number of medical experts recommend easing into a weight loss program after the birth of your baby.

This means that you will not start dieting until about three months following birth. You should combine a low-fat diet with moderate exercise in order to achieve weight loss.

Don?t expect instant results. It will take you up to a good nine months to get back to your weight prior to pregnancy. A go-slow approach is best because you need to give your body time to recover after childbirth.

Certainly, you might be able to lose weight faster, but you might be sacrificing valuable nutrients as a result.

Interestingly enough, breastfeeding actually enhances weight loss. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists has found that breastfeeding leads to the release of hormones which enable your uterus to return to its normal size.

However, breastfeeding alone won?t bring down your weight. You need to combine it with a sensible diet and a moderate exercise program. Keep in mind that you need to have at least 1800 calories a day while breastfeeding in order to keep yourself and your baby healthy.

Still, stay clear of junk food during this period. You should rely on food with high nutritional value to maintain the proper level of calories each day.

There are many good reasons to exercise during the post-partum period. In addition to helping to accelerate weight reduction, exercise can help alleviate post-partum depression, improve your mood, and boost your confidence. Exercise can also ?clear your head? so that you?re better able to meet the demands of motherhood.

You might consider joining a ?Mommy and Me? exercise class so that your baby can exercise right along with you. Another helpful hint is to enlist the help of a friend or relative to act as your exercise buddy so that you?ll have some emotional support while exercising.

An added bonus of exercise is that it should boost your energy level, which is quite important when battling the fatigue which comes from caring for a newborn.

Your diet should generally be low-fat but not fat-free; vitamin rich; and high-fiber. Under no circumstances should you go on a fad diet. Such a diet could be quite harmful to your health and could actually slow your recovery from childbirth. It?s a good idea to set weight-loss goals, but don?t go overboard. Recognize that there?s a limit to the amount of weight you can lose during a given period of time.

You may see a number of actress-moms gracing the covers of magazines shortly after the birth of their children. They appear svelte and elegant, totally devoid of baby fat.

In the accompanying article, they may even talk about exercising right after childbirth. Such articles send new mothers a dangerous message: that you must do all you can to become thin as quickly as possible after your baby is born.

Such a philosophy is not only ridiculous, it?s also unhealthy. As a result, you?ll need to ?tune out? such messages from the media and stay the course with your own gradual weight loss plan.

The time right after the birth of a child can be quite challenging, taxing both your physical and emotional strength. While it is certainly a good idea to eat healthy, you?ll need to pace yourself as far as weight loss is concerned.

Over time, you should be able to lose the weight you gained during your pregnancy. In fact, you might find that you?re actually healthier after your baby is born.
