Get Real over Excess Body Fat

sam — Sun, 25 May 2008 10:44:23 +0000

Hi All

Its Sam Russell here again. Lets face it we all kid ourselves over having a fat tummy. “Oh I’m just a bit cuddly” etc. The real facts are we all need to lose the Excess Body Fat and here’s why:

The vital step to Better health

The overall health benefits of loosing excess body fat are just undeniable – talk to any Doctor and they’ll tell you. This must be your number one priority and with fast weight loss tips you can get there!

The side benefits are obvious – you’ll look and feel better. Those extra inches are not only unsightly but also mean your wardrobe shrinks all the time with less and less items of clothing fitting you comfortably. Don’t delay just get on & start to lose it however we all know It’s as simple and as difficult as that statement.

Although it’s all well and good for everyone around you to say that if you have body fat lose it, it’s not all that easy for you to go about accomplishing this task. For one thing, if you have more than a few pounds to lose, then you will find that you need to find a diet plan that will cater for this fact.

Why Fast Weight Loss?

Going on a diet which guarantees that you will lose 10 pounds in two weeks will not do the trick necessarily but its important to get some fast weight loss just to get and keep your confidence up and make sure you keep on track. Without keeping to the plan you’ll fail even before you’ve really got started.

Is Fast Weight Loss Ok?

The answer is both yes and no – For one thing, it’s not very healthy to lose so much weight too fast, but, for another thing, you can never be too sure that you will lose anything beyond those first ten pounds anyway, plus for many if not all of us losing weight quickly is almost guaranteed to ensure you’ll put it back on just as quickly as soon as you come off the diet.

But yes as already indicated its important to get confidence that you’re on track as quickly as possible just to maintain the momentum. After all if you apply yourself to a diet and there’s no fast weight loss it’s very easy to become despondent and quickly give up.

Hope these pointers help a bit. Its a bummer having to lose weight but just get started!

So How to Get fast Weight Loss ?

Start by looking at different fat burning diets and the foods that are incorporated into them the idea being to build up a healthy lifestyle change.

Research is pretty easy as these days slimming and weight loss is a mass market interest topic so whether you choose to look on the internet, in diet books and magazines etc you should be able to provide yourself with a list of foods that can accomplish and help towards achieving both a quick and safe weight loss program.

Top Tip

Think about it – instead of snacking on unhealthy snacks – have some fruit, nibble a carrot, introduce fruit into your salads – it certainly can make them more interesting and appealing. Be creative don’t just think of having the 5 a day rule with your main meals.

Many suggest eating little and often – again fruit and vegetables can be incorporated into this.OK so we know to eat healthy but what about the so-called ‘fat & calorie burning’ foods.

You can select food that burns fat from your body. These will include a large variety of food groups. Some of these foods that you can use are ones that can be found in almost all kitchens. Others are more expensive or they are considered speciality type foods.

What you need to do is research them, for further education the Internet is littered with information on ‘fat bunting foods’

Understand the Way Fast Weight Loss Plans Work!

Most plans will result in worthwhile weight loss during the first few days and you will lose some weight, which will be from retained water. Once this water has been taken from your body you will now need to find effective fat burning foods which when combined with an effective exercise program will stimulate effective on-going weight loss.

Exercise is Vital as well

But you also need to consider the exercise element. After all if we consume more calories than our bodies are burning off through general day-to-day living we need to do something to burn them off, otherwise the obvious result is further weight gain.

Diets are one thing and there are numerous diets that are supposed to provide you with the slim looking figure, but dieting alone is not the total answer – burning off calories is vital. And staying healthy.

The Gym ?

While it is possible to get some great fat burning workouts from gyms using exercise equipment etc for some people the idea of appearing in your current overweight form in front of regular toned gym members is just too much to bear – so do consider that, particularly before you are persuaded into a costly membership package.

My advice – don’t do it. Go along when they have a special open day, promotional week and give it a try. Its vital ‘try before you commit’ – it can be a very expensive mistake otherwise

Since you are just beginning your fat burning workout you have no need to feel any shame that your body is not as toned as others but believe me that doesn’t help when you’re having a “I’m very fat” day.

Think about it why is obesity a 21^st century problem ? Because our lifestyles are different to our parents. They didn’t travel everywhere by car, didn’t have take-away meals or such heavily processed food containing all the additives , sugar and salt that we have today.

So ultimately our lifestyles work against us. Recognise this fact and become determined to make some changes. After all several small changes will, as they build in effectiveness and over time make a significant difference to your overall health . Eat more healthly, more fruit and vegetables and lean meat. Walk to work and at lunchtimes and do 15 minutes of exercise every day, and cut down on the alcohol – give it a few weeks and you’ll be pleasantly amazed.

Try these Tips to Lose Weight & Keep it Off!

sam — Mon, 19 May 2008 22:01:22 +0000

Do you want to loose weight and keep it off? If you could loose 2 lbs a week that would mean a fantastic weight loss of 104 lbs for the year. Wow wouldn’t that be great!

When you look at it that way it makes the 20 – 40 lbs you need to shed seem very achievable.

Remember that if you eat next to nothing your body goes into starvation mode. The metabolism slows down which makes it difficult to shift the pounds.

When you crash diet the first thing you loose is fluid, so loosing 10 lbs or so is easy but you will probably put it back on and more once you resume a correct diet.

The best way of course is to eat correctly and not forgetting exercise. For some people eating several small meals is good as it keeps your metabolism-working helping to continually burn the calories.

It’s a similar thing with exercise if you can do several small bursts of 10 -15 minutes at a time this keeps the metabolism working and is probably more beneficial than one long exercise regime. i.e. A brisk 10 minute walk can get the heart pumping so cardiovascular as well as burning the calories times this by three and it is more, or of equal benefit to a thirty minute workout.

Get Walking for Weight Loss

sam — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 16:49:17 +0000

Hi Sam here, I never believed that a quick 20 minute walk could really shed the lbs. But a few days ago I caught my reflection in a shop window – that was it!

I’ve started walking lunchtimes and 2 things have happened. 1. I feel refreshed after it and 2. I’ve lost a few lbs. So here’s some ideas to get you started.

Good Luck

As Result of Lifestyle

For many of us our weight issues are a result of lifestyle – you can’t help that you work in an office, have a desk job but even more reason to get out and about at lunchtime or after work and getting into the habit that many experts consider to be one of the best ways to lose weight which is a brisk 20 minute walk every day.

Its easy, simple and costs nothing but a little bit of your time. It also has added benefits if you’ve spent hours with the monotony of the office or house work, a brisk walk gets the blood flowing, increases your heart rate and you’ll return to your work refreshed and revitalised – something that most of us need for the afternoon session in the office.

Now, although it might seem ridiculously simple to do this – after all, how hard can it be, but the problem for many of us is the age old ‘commitment’ issue – its great to do it when its nice and sunny but harder when its cold or wet. Without a commitment you’ll get nowhere.

Consider your Options – Depending on your Situation

For a busy stay-at-home mother, or even a new mother with a tiny newborn to look after, you can very easily incorporate walking to lose weight into your life as a social outlet with other mom’s to catch up on the latest with your equally busy friends, or in the case of new mothers, you can take this as the excuse you need to have some grown up conversation .

For Office Workers

Stuck in that office day in day out – its vital to get some fresh air – it helps your mental state of mind and you get to lose weight as well – how hard can that be ? But again you need to commit – a walk in the park really will do wonders for your peace of mind, you’ll return to your office with a new perspective on matters, even those that have been troubling or concerning you – try it – it works!

Be prepared …….

Walking is a great all round exercise – but its worth considering your choice of footwear, after all a 20 minute brisk walk in 6inch stilettos could very easily end in disaster. For many the solution is simple a spare pair of walking shoes or trainers that you can quickly slip into at break times – its easy.

A Sociable Affair ?

If you find the idea of walking on your own boring – consider this, talk to workmates, ask them to join you, start a competition with a co-worker who also wants to lose weight or if that doesn’t appeal – grab your ipod or mp3 player and listen to your favourite music or learn a foreign language whilst you walk.

Top 5 Weight Loss Steps to Success

sam — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 15:32:12 +0000

Let’s be honest dieting and weight loss is pretty boring. So the end game is to get it right first time, get it done and get on with the rest of your life whilst keeping the weight off!

Easy – well not quite. You need a plan and here we cover some simple steps to try & get it right from day one – happy dieting.

Step 1.

Get to your doctor, explain what you plan. Most doctors will support your desire for weight loss but its important that you are honest, cover the desired plan with your doctor and make sure they’ll be no adverse health risks depending on your level of overall health and your age.

Step 2.

Once you’ve found a plan that you believe you can commit to consider also an exercise routine. After all the old saying “you are what you eat” is very true – as any doctor will tell you, whatever calories you consume you need to exercise to burn them off – its that simple!

Doing these two regimes coupled sensibly will allow you to lose the weight that you require.

Step 3

Be realistic a fast weight loss plan should result in an initial weight loss which will be rapid in contrast to the rest of your weight loss which undoubtedly will be more gradual. But don’t falter at this stage you need to understand that you will have better results if you adhere to one sort of dietary plan.

Step 4.

Adhere to the plan. Most plans incorporate not only ingredients but also methods of cooking with alternative substitutes that you will not be familiar with – remember they are there for a reason, most plans also offer alternatives to fit with most dietary choices.

Step 5.

The future – bear in mind most fast weight loss plans are designed to work for a certain period of time, once you have achieved your desired weight loss you will need to find ways of controlling your weight and eating habits going forward (otherwise the hard work will have been for nought). One way is to incorporate some of the plan but with normal healthy eating and exercise, but just make sure you stick to sensible portion control.

Why Fast Weight Loss Works!

sam — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 10:18:55 +0000

The whole Western way of life, its ever faster pace, lack of quality relaxation time fuels the obesity and weight gain issues that many of us struggle with. Our diet is over processed and in many instances contains additives that actually promote weight gain and certainly do not help towards a healthy lifestyle.

Much has been written and spoken about effective food labelling, but generally unless you have a Phd in Food Science you’re unlikely to easily understand much of it and what’s more if you’re a busy mum with young children going round the store – whose got the time to check all the labels – most people haven’t. Unfortunately the result is what we eat is not always the best, our health suffers to a degree especially as we put on weight.

So try & stop the merry-go-round – find a fast weight loss diet plan that can be combined with some type of fast acting exercise.

Why fast loss ?

Well if you can manage to really get a few lbs off quickly that will give you the sense of achievement to spur you on to even greater weight loss. The exercise helps and can be continued into your everyday lifestyle to ensure you maintain losing weight and keep it off.

Fast Weight Loss – Is It Ok ?

sam — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 16:08:21 +0000

For most of us we want results and solutions to any problem or issue in our lives easily and most importantly quickly. So when it comes to losing weight particularly as we feel less attractive, tight in our clothes etc we want success so we want fast weight loss, but is it possible and more importantly is it advisable ?Losing weight fast is possible and can be advisable (with certain limitations), can also be considered a great way to jump start a diet that has become stale, it can give you the impetus you need to continue with your weight loss course, and it can give you the reason you need to stay the course. But beware of some of the more extreme diets and plans, that may promise or suggest very rapid weight loss but can often be not the most healthy way to go. Just be realistic.

Consider this as a good rule of thumb that some pregnant women use post-pregnancy – nine months on, nine months off. The idea behind it being that it took nine months to put on the weight, so nine months is a healthy way indeed in which to lose it. plus you need to consider and think logically – for most of us our weight gain has slipped on over a long period of time, many years for many of us – is it realistic to believe what took years to gain can be lost in mere short weeks – no really.!

Of course, if you have been overweight for most of your life, especially if you have more than ten or so pounds to lose, this does not mean that you need should take an equal length of time to lose weight, only that you should take it relatively slow and lose weight in a healthy manner. After all we’ve all seen friends go on a strict diet, loss many lbs quickly but within a short space of time its all back on.

So overall its a case of being realistic You will also find that if you follow some of the healthier options to lose weight fast along with a proper diet and exercise plan, that you will also be able to keep the weight off once you have lost it. .

However, it is ever better if you have some sort of encouraging fact to hang on to in the months during which you will be looking to lose weight, (if you take the healthy route that is), and finding small means and ways to lose weight fast can give a boost to your flagging confidence that you really can lose weight

In other words, by using a combination of the two methods, you will begin to lose weight fast, and at the same time also be training your body to keep the weight off once you have reached your target weight – this is the way to get sustainable results that will pay dividends for many years to come, if not the rest of your life.
