Now you have made the effort to start working out. You are ready to
get in shape and transform your body. While you are lifting weights,
running and doing everything possible to improve your physique you need
to pay close attention to the foods that you are eating. You may not be
aware that there are some foods that need to be avoided after a grueling
workout.
After you have put yourself through a strenuous training
and exercise session your appetite could easily rev into overdrive. You
might just find yourself craving salted snacks, sweet treats or one of
your favorite sodas. These cravings can be very intense and many people
give in to their "gourmet" desires because they figure that they have
already burned off a number of calories. Surely just one little treat is
not going to cause any problem.
Unfortunately it seems that the
very foods that you tend to crave the most are the same ones that can
kill that diet. You should also realize that you can quench those food
cravings with a banana, carrot, raisins or a protein drink. Here is a
primer that alerts you to the 10 worst foods to eat after you have been
working out.
Do Not Eat These 10 Foods After Workout Sessions at The Gym!
1. Popcorn with Salt and Butter
- This snack is still bad for your body, even if you omit the butter.
When you are eating popcorn that has been seasoned with salt you are
just overloading your system with sodium. When electrolytes are depleted
you lose potassium as well as sodium, and need to take care when you
are attempting to replace these essential nutrients.
2. Salted Nuts
- Once again it is the salt that is going to be the problem if you
choose this snack after a workout. Sure your body needs to have the
electrolytes replaced but pure salt is not the best option. Try eating
some fruit or drinking a sports drink to satisfy that craving. You could
even select some unsalted nuts to eat if you are strongly drawn to
eating sunflower seeds, walnuts, pecans or peanuts.
3. Raisins with Yogurt Coating
- Are a popular snack item found at many gyms. This is a food which
looks much healthier than it proves to be in reality. If you choose this
product after a workout you are delivering a double dose of sugars and
calories to your system. The plain truth is devastating. When you eat
sugar you are going to slow your metabolism and stop that rapid weight
loss that you are working so hard to achieve. Experts are still trying
to raise consumer awareness about the health dangers posed by sugar.
While sugary foods taste wonderful there can be long-term consequences
for your body if you continue to indulge in foods that satisfy your
wicked sweet tooth. (The raisins have natural fruit sugars and then
there are processed sugars used to make that decadent yogurt coating.)
4. Peanut Butter and Jelly
- Is another of the food choices that you need to avoid after a
workout. These seemingly harmless ingredients are often used to make
snacks and sandwiches, so what is the problem? Isn't peanut butter a
protein-packed food? That's true, but both of these items include
concentrated sugars. Once again you are working out to lose weight and
boost your metabolism. Eating sugars will only work against you by
slowing down your weight loss results. When you eat sugar you are
applying an internal braking system that will serve to slow down the
speed at which your metabolism is burning calories.
5. Popular Sodas with Sugars and Caffeine
- This should be a "no-brainer". You have to give up those sugary sodas
if you want to lose weight and get healthy. Most sodas contain about
100-150 calories in an eight ounce serving. When you get thirsty after
an intense workout you could easily down 2-3 servings while you are
cooling off. Think of how many calories you could consume in just a few
minutes. Think about all of the sugars and chemicals you will be
drinking. Imagine how bloated you are going to feel even if you only
consume a single serving of a carbonated drink? These reasons should be
more than enough to make you give those popular sodas a pass, especially
after a workout session.
6. Hot Dog - Is a food
which should be avoided by any conscientious dieter. Let's face it. A
hot dog contains fats, oils, chemicals and other compounds that your
body just does not need. The aroma of a freshly cooked hot dog can be
tantalizing but you should not give in to the temptation. If you eat hot
dogs after a workout you will just be negating almost all of the
positive benefits that your body has just achieved. It has also been
shown that hot dogs can increase your cholesterol counts. This means
that this food choice is a bad one for any individual who is serious
about losing weight and improving their physical health.
7. Pizza
- Contains fats and sugars. Your system has just been stripped due to
that vigorous workout. Now you may be in that prime "fat-burning" zone.
Do you really want to ruin your efforts by devouring calorie-laden
slices of pizza? The bread dough alone will deliver high amounts of
processed, refined carbohydrates that can easily overwhelm your
metabolism. Those extra calories from the slices of pizza will simply be
stored as excess fat.
8. Muffins - Are warm and
aromatic pastry treats that deliver fantastic flavor. Some individuals
choose a muffin to eat after a workout. Their reasoning is that they are
going to be able to replace the carbs and glycogen that they burned
when they were exercising. The trouble with this reasoning is that a
muffin can contain an excessive amount of calories, refined carbs and
empty nutrients. Your body does not need refined carbohydrates and empty
nutrients. Avoid muffins and other pastry products if you have just
completed a tiring workout at the gym.
9. Doughnuts
- Are not approved for most healthy diets. The high number of calories
in one of these glazed treats could exceed the number of calories that
you have just burned during your workout. Let's not even discuss the
sugar content of doughnuts.
10. Energy Bars - May
not be the best food to choose immediately after a tiring workout. The
problem is once again due to the sugars that are included in these
popular nutrition products. An energy bar is basically designed to give
you the energy that you need for running or exercising. If you eat some
of these energy bars after a workout you will be slowing your metabolism
and adding extra calories that will eventually be stored as unwanted
fat.

Weight Loss - Four Factors That Predict Weight Gain
You might be at a healthy body weight right now, but do you ever
wonder what your future holds? It's no secret many people do tend to
gain weight as they age, so this could be something crossing your mind.
Interestingly enough, certain factors can easily predict whether you will gain weight down the road. By learning what these are - and taking steps to decrease their appearance in your life, you can increase your odds of having a slim future.
Here are four important factors to keep in mind...
1. How Often You Yo-Yo Diet? The first of the four factors to watch out for is the yo-yo dieting trap in which so many people get themselves involved. If you are on and off diets on a regular basis, this could be doing you harm long-term.
The problem with dieting often is you will begin to lose lean muscle mass on low-calorie diets, and when you come off the diet and gain weight, you are gaining back fat weight. The result is you are at the same body weight, but with a higher total body fat percentage. Higher body fat levels reduce your metabolic rate and only sets you up for future body fat gain.
2. How Many Liquid Calories You Consume. The next factor to know about is liquid calorie consumption. If you are typically drinking your calories - either in the form of gourmet coffee, alcohol, soda, fruit juice, energy drinks or otherwise, this could increase the odds you gain weight with age.
People do not account for calories consumed via beverages like they do when consumed via foods, so you could find yourself taking in far more calories than you need.
This in turn leads to quick weight gain. When it comes to your fluid intake, keep it calorie free as often as possible, with the one exception of whey protein powder.
3. How Much Sleep You Get. Shorting yourself on sleep? Insufficient sleep could also influence your body composition later on. Those who aren't sleeping at least seven or eight hours each night are far more likely to experience body fat gain than those who get restful slumber.
Lack of sleep will slow your metabolic rate, increase appetite levels, and can also reduce insulin sensitivity. The facts are clear, sleep is a must for optimal health and a lean body composition.
4. How Much Sugar You Consume? Finally, also take a look at how much sugar you consume. Eating highly processed foods or other foods containing sugars will set you up for weight gain down the road if you aren't already experiencing it now.
Remember sugar is hidden in many foods, so start doing some digging to find out where you are getting sugar in your diet. You might be surprised at the places you are consuming it.
So keep these factors in mind. Are any impacting you? If so, make some changes, so they don't have a negative influence on your body weight in the future.

Although managing your disease can be very challenging, Type 2
diabetes is not a condition you must just live with. You can make simple
changes to your daily routine and lower both your weight and your blood
sugar levels. Hang in there, the longer you do it, the easier it gets.

Weight Loss - Beyond Diet and Exercise
Diet and exercise are the first things that usually come to mind
when people think of losing weight. However, a couple of other factors
are fundamental and lay the grounds for weight loss success. Wondering
what it takes to see success with your weight loss diet? There are steps
all successful dieters take into account; steps to ensure they come out
on top. Curious what these happen to be?
Let's walk you through the five issues every successful dieter works with to see long-term results...
1. They Are Dieting For The Right Reasons. First things first, they're dieting for the right reasons. And by "right reasons", I do not mean to fit into their "skinny jeans" to impress someone at the office.
They are dieting because they want to feel better about themselves or improve their health in some way. Their reason is internal in nature - and it drives every food decision they make.
2. They Track Their Food Intake. Next, those who are successful have found some way to monitor their food intake. Perhaps it's through calorie counting; others may find monitoring serving sizes a better approach.
Whatever the case, they are not blindly eating their food. They are aware of how much they are consuming so they can be sure they are eating in agreement with the amount needed to burn fat.
3. They Experiment With New Recipes. Next up? They experiment. They know over the long run, if they eat the same food too many times in a row, it will lead to them eating something they shouldn't. As such, they are sure to try a new recipe regularly - if only once per week to mix it up a little.
4. They Allow Occasional Indulgences. Successful dieters also allow for the occasional indulgence. They don't restrict themselves 100% of the time, but instead, follow the 90/10% rule. Ninety percent of the time they are on, 10% of the time they are having a little food fun.
They don't feel guilt about this either. They welcome those fun days into their program.
5. They Allow Some Wiggle Room in Their Diet Plan. Finally, the last step that successful dieters follow is building some wiggle room into their diet. They know life can get busy and when it does, they may not be able to stay the course as planned.
As such, they have some leeway room to add a few hundred calories here and subtract from there as need be. It makes the entire diet process much less stressful.
So have a look at your approach. Do you need to make any changes?

The “Quick Weight Loss Diet” Trend Disadvantage
If you wear a size 14 and you blow a bundle on designer size 8 dresses as motivation, you will probably end up feeling guilty, frustrated, and angry if you are not slinking around in it a month later.
In reality, you will do much better setting smaller, achievable targets for yourself. If you must try the new-clothes strategy, go down a size at a time, and do not buy anything you have to take out a second mortgage to pay for.
Because, if you continue to remorse on losing weight fast, you will end up incorporating fad diets or those that offer quick weight loss.
For most people who are not aware of this fact, there are no such things as quick weight loss diets and there is no nippy weight loss for people who want to be slimmer than what their body can provide.
The problem with most people is that they tend to opt for nippy fixes wherein fact these things are not effective at all.
What Does Not Work
Today, there are plenty of weight-loss strategies that are guaranteed to backfire. This is because these nippy fixes instilled on certain diet plans are, in reality, not efficient because it does not employ the right principle and the right attitude in losing weight.
These quick weight loss diet plans are known as fad diets because that is exactly what they are, just a fad. In time, when fashion is over and popularity wanes down, people will realize that the diet they have depended on is not reliable at all.
To know more about these fad diets that are selling like hotcakes in the market today, here is a list of some telltale signs that would tell you not to try it even once.
Here they are:
1. Skipping meals
Does your diet plan require you to skip meals? If it does, then, it is a fad diet.
Abstain from food completely is not a healthy habit. It may even cause some serious complications or problems especially for people who are sick with diabetes.
Skipping meals will only cause a hypoglycemia, or the condition wherein your blood sugar is really low, and will probably only be effective in making you eat twice as much at the next meal.
2. Dieting without exercise, or vice versa
Exercise is crucial to the human body. It is important in the proper blood circulation and other activities of the human body system.
Therefore, diet plans that do not require you to exercise are nuisances. People are born to move.
But then again, exercise alone is not sufficient. Hence, it would be better if diet and exercise will go hand-in-hand.
3. Continuous dawdling
There is no better time to start losing weight. If you want to really lose those excess fats, you have to lose weight now.
Delaying tactics will not get you anywhere and will only make the problem worse. So, if your diet plan suggests a certain timeframe for you start losing weight, chances are, you are following the trend of fad diets.
Boiled down, it is best to rely more on the way you feel than the tale of the tape. This means that if the weighing scale tells you that you are losing weight even if it is slower than you would like, but you are feeling energetic and positive about your weight-loss efforts, then, you are just doing fine.
As mentioned and is worth mentioning all over again, weight loss is not a quick process.
In reality, you will do much better setting smaller, achievable targets for yourself. If you must try the new-clothes strategy, go down a size at a time, and do not buy anything you have to take out a second mortgage to pay for.

How to Burn Fat Swiftly
Quick weight loss calls for methods that are challenging to keep long
term. Weight dropped too rapidly is certainly caused by water weight or
lean muscle, so it begins to be gained back again.. If you wish to shed
body fat properly and correctly, a strategy that has lifestyle and
nutritional alterations is vital; patience and persistence are more
crucial compared to how swiftly you drop it. By making these kinds of
adjustments, you will lower your risk of health conditions, such as 2
diabetes, high blood pressure and coronary disease, all of which are
connected with excess fat.
Set a goal:
Keep your mind towards your goal. You can drop 2 lbs. per week by creating a deficit of 1 thousand calories per day through a combination of diet and exercise.It is highly recommended to count your calories,
Eat Right:
Consume smaller portions and change high calorie meals with low calorie meals. Drink water rather than sugary sodas, and eat fresh fruits or nonfat frozen yogurt as an alternative to ice cream. Eat whole fruits, Low-fat dairy products, healthy proteins as well as vegetables. Include things like tuna, oats, green tea or green tea extract, grapefruits and hot peppers in your diet as these food types boost your metabolic process which means you will burn more fat.
Perform exercise:
Cardiovascular exercise like bicycling, brisk walking, swimming, are recommended to burn calories fast. Perform 300 minutes of cardio per week for optimal results.
High Interval Training:
Perform high interval training exercise for 15 minutes during your cardio. For example, if you are walking for 5 minutes, start sprinting for 2 minutes and then return to your 5 minute walk. You burn extra calories in this way.
Strength training:
Strength training increases your metabolic process by 15 percent. Muscle tissues consume more energy than fats. Strengthen your arms, legs. Back, shoulders, chest and stomach. Perform strength training at least two times a week.

My Weight Loss Journey
With obesity becoming a growing epidemic in many western countries,
it's no wonder that every other month it seems like there is a new diet
or fitness fad that promises results. In reality, the only one actually
seeing any results are the companies that are continually cashing in on
this growing weight loss industry. Having been overweight myself for
many years, I have tried them all in a desperate bid to shed the kilos
and be healthy. The money I've wasted on diet plans and weight loss
regimes over the years probably would've made a nice deposit for a dream
home. Some of these include: Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, South Beach,
Aitkins, Celebrity Slim, Fatblaster, and of course the 'Low Fat' diet.
Now I'm not saying you can't lose weight on these regimes, and if you look at the fine print they all generally say something along the lines of "take in conjunction with a balanced diet". But there are some major problems with these 'diets':
1) They are not sustainable long term
2) If you stop you will put the weight back on
3) They can be expensive
4) They don't really teach us anything about healthy eating.
Do we actually know what a balanced diet is anymore? What does it consist of? Many would be tempted to go by the food pyramid, but how accurate is this now with new studies coming out contradicting what we've been taught all these years. We can go by the blanket comment and say 'everything in moderation' - which in some ways might be true. But at the end of the day we all know the reality of losing weight comes down to calories. (I'm sure that is not a surprise to any of you!).
So I'm hoping to share with you my journey (and maybe the success of others along the way) of how I am losing weight, becoming healthier, and saving money. It might not be a new way of losing weight, and it might be something you already knew about, and that is okay. However, if I am able to inspire just one person to follow their own journey, then I will have succeeded in my quest. I say 'losing weight' as I am not where I need to be as yet - I am only about halfway on my journey. At my highest I was 84kg. I am now currently sitting around the 73kg mark. I still have around another 8-10kg I'd like to lose. My ideal weight (for my height) is between 60-65kg. Anything under 66kg will put me into the 'Normal' category (so yes, I'm currently in the 'Overweight' range).
The great thing about what I've been doing is that initially I started off still eating all the foods I loved - chocolate, ice cream, takeaways etc - and I didn't do any extra exercise. I should note here, that I am a dancer/performer so I was already doing some form of exercise, but this doesn't mean I was healthy. I'm proof that exercise alone doesn't make you skinny! The problem wasn't really what I was eating, but when & how much I was eating. I love food and the idea of giving something like chocolate up was not appealing. Sure, I did Jenny Craig a number of years ago, and happily spent $200+ a week just on my food (+ buying the extra food that they don't supply, as well as meals for my man to also eat). I did lose around 8kgs then, but as soon as I stopped and went back to 'normal' eating I put the weight back on.
This sort of thing has been going on in my life since I left school. I was quite active at school, but as soon as I started working I put weight on. I also have suffered from depression for a long time, which didn't help. At one stage I was in the horrible cycle of "feeling depressed - comfort eating - gaining weight" - round and round I went (as did my figure!).

Successful Weight Loss Now - Avoid The Next Shiny Object
It's not your fault because you just want a result and there is a
multi-billion dollar industry which has just one purpose. That is to
get you to buy their product.
Plus there is so much confusion as to what you should do. It seems that every week the popular women's magazines have a new diet and the men's magazines have a new way to blast off fat and give you an amazing six pack.
Their job isn't to give you good information, or to help you lose weight, their job is to sell magazines, and the best way to do that is to offer a new shiny object as often as possible. Their problem is that they have to keep coming up with amazing new diets every week or two.
Diets are just some of the bright shiny objects which claim to find a solution for your weight.
Television gadgets are possibly even worse, there is no way on earth an ab machine will cause you to lose weight all over, even if you were on it 24 hours a day, then there is the famous diet spray successfully marketed by an Australian con man.
He falsely claimed all kinds of studies and preyed on the hopes of many people taking millions of dollars.
Gadgets are just bright shiny objects and they usually come with a disclaimer that you need to add a 1000 calorie diet. Of course you will lose weight if you follow that recommendation. But that is the whole problem you can't stick to a diet or you wouldn't be buying these products on late night television.
I heard a useful acronym F.O.C.U.S. Focus on One Course Until Successful. For you it means finding a diet and an exercise programme that you think you could live with long term. This means eliminating anything extreme or a bit crazy.
You know in your heart when you look at a diet if you can live with it, or if it is going to cause you more stress than it is worth.
Now you need ideal weight hypnosis to help you make this diet and exercise program work for you, not just for a few weeks but for as long as you want it to. Hypnosis will allow you to let go of the past and create a strong belief in you that you will succeed.

The Hypoglycemic's Best Diet For Weight Loss
Hypoglycemia is a disorder that will surely have a significant
impact on your eating routine and vitality. Fortunately, the present
phenomena of smaller daily meals and limited sugars to diet for weight
loss is quite like the standard hypoglycemic diet. There are some
tactics to bear in mind.
Sugar and Dietary Fiber
In a hypoglycemic or a standard weight loss diet, stay away from all of the "empty calories" present in the higher sugar content of candy and sugar beverages. Food items such as sodas, pastries, table sugar, candies and sweets, doughnuts and ice cream have to be cut out of the diet. Exchange these items for complex carbs which are full of whole grain products, such as barley and quinoa. Complex carbs are likely to take more time to process in the intestine. This will result in a far more healthy blood glucose level compared to if you had consumed just sugary items. Whole grain products, legumes, most types of nuts and seeds have not just complex carbs but dietary fiber. This delays digestion of food and the emptying of the tummy along with the digestion of glucose. Dietary fiber is linked to weight loss and detoxification.
Proteins and Fats
Legumes and most types of nuts and seeds have proteins along with the "good fats" called monounsaturated fats. These types of fat are proven to help control blood glucose and are a part of the heart-healthy diet called the Mediterranean diet. Widely used diet programs such as the Zone Diet also have underlined monounsaturated fat as the ideal fat for weight loss. Stay away from the saturated fats in meat products. However, extremely lean and farm-raised meat products are likely to include a lot less fats which makes them an excellent way to obtain proteins. Proteins are a great source of energy for the hypoglycemic and need to be eaten at every one of the six smaller daily meals appropriate for the diet.
Exactly What to Stay Away From
Avoid or do away with caffeine intake as a cup of coffee, afternoon tea, soft drinks or medicines. Because caffeine intake encourages the generation of adrenaline, it increases the undoubtedly high level of adrenaline produced by hypoglycemia alone. Alcoholic beverages are a possible source of hypoglycemia that will lead to too much glucose in your body. Because alcoholic beverages have a tendency to pull down a diet plan anyhow, it is smart to remove it totally also. Ingredients that usually have additives and sweeteners such as higher fructose corn syrup, partly hydrogenated oils or weighty syrups are detrimental to everyone, inclusive of hypoglycemics. Most significantly, for those who think that you are afflicted with hypoglycemia you must check with your physician regarding the ideal diet to suit your needs.

Fast Weight Loss in Five Simple Steps
It takes a special commitment to lose weight, and to do it
quickly requires even more dedication and responsibility. There are a
multitude of weight loss tips and fat loss products out there on the
market to choose from, but they really all follow the same underlying
principles. These steps are meant to be followed in the order they are
presented. Regardless of the amount of weight you want to lose or the
amount of time you have to lose it, these steps will provide you with a
basic guideline on how you need to approach your quick weight loss.
1. Do a detox. One of the biggest reasons why people have difficulty losing weight is because the body, more specifically the digestive system, is not able to process food and nutrients properly. Doing a detox allows your body to get rid of toxins that prevent it from absorbing the right stuff.
2. Introduce the right kinds of food. Eating healthy doesn't mean you have to eat a certain type of diet. It only means that you should aim to eat food that is good for your body, and eat them at the right amounts. Among other things, that means eating more vegetables, drinking only water, eliminating soda altogether, or even snacking twice a day.
3. Build those muscles. Muscle training is an important step in quick fat loss. Maintaining your strength while watching your food intake counters any drop in metabolic rate. This results to further fat loss.
4. Bring on the cardio. Although cardio work is important in losing weight, too much of it can have detrimental effects. Muscle loss can result from excessive cardio workouts. Proper amounts of it lead to faster weight loss.
5. Stick to your regimen. This is probably the hardest step of it all. But once you start seeing results, it gets easier to move on forward. When you feel yourself slipping from your goal, go back to the beginning and take step 1 again. It should reset your mindset, and get you back on the right direction.
Whether you want to lose weight fast in seven days or in 30 days, these five simple steps should guide you properly. Remember that every goal of weight loss should not only be to shed pounds. Your primary weight loss goal should be to get healthy. Successful weight loss involves not only a positive change in weight but also a positive change in lifestyle.

Weight Loss - Is Eating Breakfast Right For You?
Should you be eating less in the evenings or skip your dinner
entirely? Should you be eating in the morning, or just having a coffee?
With so much information out there about how and when to eat, to suggest sometimes we are left confused on what we should do would be an understatement. Especially when the conversation applies to breakfast. The theme of our discussion here revolves around whether or not you should be eating breakfast. The alleged "most important meal of the day".
How important is it?
Well, it depends on several factors. More importantly, the question to be answered is one that will determine whether or not eating breakfast is going to benefit or harm you in the first place. The all-important question, you ask?
"How much should you typically eat daily before lunch time?" And more specifically... "can you afford to eat breakfast as well as lunch and dinner?"
Most people can be divided up into two groups based on their eating tendencies...
If you are someone who eats the majority of your daily intake during your mornings and afternoons, it makes sense to eat breakfast. You're probably used to it already. What would be counterproductive in this case would be if you were frequently having large dinners as well. Eating a large breakfast and dinner will facilitate weight gain, as you would be likely to consume more calories than you need.
Moreover, if you're someone who eats a light lunch, and your main daily meal is dinner, it would be prudent to have a light breakfast. Perhaps you should eat nothing prior to your light mid-day meal. A morning coffee or tea is okay. Furthermore, take note problems arise when you have a large breakfast unnecessarily. As previously mentioned, you would likely run into a situation where you have a surplus of calories that won't be used up anytime soon.
Why make it harder for yourself? If you're trying to lose weight and improve your health, you can use all the help you can get.
It's up to you to determine if eating breakfast is right for you. If you're trying to lose weight, it will benefit you to experiment with skipping breakfast daily for at least a week or two. It's an area you could trial. As long as you're physically active, and you don't over compensate with your other meals, you're guaranteed to make progress with your lower blood sugar and weight loss plans.

- secondly, there are those who eat mostly during the latter part of their day, typically during the evening.

it to make a huge difference in your life.
I'm here to tell you otherwise. It does not have to really make a huge difference in the way that you are currently living your life. You can make a huge difference in your appearance by simply taking an extra 20 minutes out of your day. You will not have to change your eating habits if this is done properly.
The fastest way to lose weight is all about being in a caloric deficit. Most people will question how they can get in a caloric deficit without having to eat less. This involves a technique called high intensity interval training. This training technique can be finished in 20 minutes. All you need is your legs.
The whole idea behind HITT is that you run for about 3 minutes. After 3 minutes is up, you want to switch to a brisk walk for 1-2 minutes. After doing this once, this will be known as one interval.
The whole purpose of doing this is to burn as many calories as possible as fast as possible. Again, this technique is only meant to take a small amount of time out of your day. The break in the sprint speed is to allow your body to recuperate for the next interval.

Foods For Weight Loss - Protein
Achieving success at weight loss may be a hard job. Nevertheless,
when armed with simple information as well as some crucial data, the
path to a better you may be simpler. "What to eat" is a significant
issue frequently raised by the dieter, and one solution is high protein
foods. Foods which are rich in proteins frequently have the benefit of
being reduced in fats and providing an extensive supply of amino acids,
which can be essential in creating muscle tissue. This enables you to
burn off a lot more body fat when in a rest status.
The Research
As per Rachel L. Batterham, M.D., from the University College London, a hormone known as PYY may reduce appetite whenever it gets introduced throughout the digestive system. The discharge of the PYY hormone is activated by the use of high-protein foods.
Batterham and co-workers advise that raising the protein content of one's diet plan can help reduce appetite which will assist in weight loss. Such was verified through controlled scientific studies wherein people disclosed that a good meal rich in proteins completely satisfied the largest part of food cravings.
Just How Much Protein?
Before jumping into a bowl filled with meatballs or an enormous slab of beef steak, there are actually some phrases utilized to explain different total amounts of proteins which need to be defined. A great supply of proteins is a food which contains a minimum of 5 grams of proteins per helping, and foods tagged "high in protein" are the ones which contain 10 grams or even more of proteins per helping.

Try Alternative Methods for Weight Loss Success
Due to the current obesity epidemic across the globe, many fads and
diets are surfacing to mislead and misinform individuals. Unfortunately
the general public end up wasting their time because often times the
reason for weight gain is an underlying one.
As it becomes more mainstream, many educated individuals are turning to holistic methods to achieve weight loss. Amongst them are hypnotherapy for weight loss, meditation, acupuncture and acupressure. Reports of success have been made, especially with hypnosis. Explore these methods and see which may work to solve a personal weight issue.
Hypnosis - Hypnotherapy for weight loss works, because it targets the reason for becoming overweight in the first place. How does this happen? Once an individual schedules a session with a trained and certified hypnotherapist, they'll spend some time learning about how the brain works while in a trance, or extremely relaxed state.
In this state, the individual's brain is working in subconscious mode. This state is more common than one would think, it even happens while watching TV. Once relaxed, the therapist will help the person determine why they can't successfully lose weight, and move past that reason to a more positive outlook on the matter. Yes, it's really that simple; and in 2015 it's become the most common way to shed those unwanted pounds.
Ayurveda - Very similar to hypnotherapy for weight loss, this form of meditation is also a popular tool to weight loss success. It is one of the oldest forms of medicine which was actually began in India. It balances body, spirit and mind and is tailored to the individual. It actually includes a variety of therapies such as diet, massage, herbs and of course meditation.
Like other holistic methods, there is no scientific proof that the method works. Rather there is a group of supporters who back it in every way, and who are more than happy to share their success stories. Hypnotherapy for weight loss could possibly be added in with these methods should the individual choose to do so.
Acupuncture and acupressure - Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese method of inserting very thin needles into the skin at special points relieving pressure and unblocking any energy that is having trouble moving through the body. Many report reduced hunger as a result of acupuncture, and therefore weight loss happens.
Acupressure is another great method, especially for those who are a bit squeamish of needles. It is very similar to acupuncture but uses finger pressure as stimulation instead. Recent studies have shown that those undergoing acupressure lose more weight than those who don't. Imagine the possibilities when combined with hypnotherapy for weight loss!

Fitness Is Easy - When You Make It Simple
A primary school in Scotland tried an experiment. What if -
instead of formal sports - we just took the kids out for a 1 mile run
around the school grounds?
Well, it has become a phenomenal success - such that at a recent school health check, not one child in the selected age group was overweight or obese. This compares to typical UK figures of 67% of children overweight or obese.
So what is the secret?
Simple - keep it simple!
The school made is simple and fun and crucially, a daily exercise for everyone.
So, how can we apply this to ourselves?
Well, top of the list, how about turning your twice or thrice weekly trips to the gym into short, quick jogs - in the clothes that you are wearing!
That's right, no lycra, no dressing up, no looking at yourself in the mirror - just in what you are wearing - and do it now. The school children didn't even change their shoes - they just went out in whatever they were wearing.
But also...
Do it with friends or companions. The school is naturally social - so, if you work from home, find someone to go with - or better still, a group. Set a time - 11am or 7am or 6pm - whatever suits your lifestyle and go every day.
If you work in an office - how about getting a group of co-workers to come with you? Remember, it is only 1 mile - that is about 10 minutes to run slowly and 15 minutes if you want to walk half the distance.
The simple step of making that decision - and it is not a big fitness decision - is what makes the difference between becoming overweight or obese or getting fit and trim.
The headteacher who set up this scheme spoke on the UK's Radio 4 programme and said 'the children come into school with apple coloured cheeks and full of vitality - just like children from the 1950s'.
The point is this - all children - not just a select few - and yes, some children run more than others and some walk some of the way - but it is non competitive - it is just fun.
Simple and fun, that is. And that is the secret to losing weight and feeling great - keep it fun, light and easy to do.

Control Your Food Cravings Will Help You Lose Weight Fast
I know that we all have cravings and when we pine for something
our body must need it. In general this is the explanation: you don't eat
enough food during the day, you woke up in the middle of the night,
open the fridge and eat what you find: chocolate, cake, fruits, or
whatever you find. Then you go back to sleep and put your stomach to
work all night. In the morning you will not feel well...
In the event that you starve yourself or skip dinner, by night you'll start to long for sweets, in light of the fact that you didn't ate the adequate starches amid day time and won't give you the opportunity of losing weight quick.
I can relate eagerness, eating something delicious, with adolescence. I've ate like insane pizza, burgers and God knows how many things. In the morning I felt awful, verging on crying, my stomach hurt and was bloated. I felt regretful because I worked so hard keeping it together and for one time of eating these delicious foods I been longing furthermore in the following days.
When you have a daily routine and you eat consistently the same foods, than one day you slip and change something, eventually this decision changes everything. If you have a strong will you can continue with your routine but many people will slip and start to have eating disorders.
And after that begins the short "run" in reverse, putting on weight, in the minute you're beginning to eat like insane it's not going to help you.
Of course, you will want to eat something else besides what you've decided. But you have to stay strong and keep in mind what you're goals are and how you want to shape your body. You need to remember that your dream body doesn't come easy and losing weight fast means to stay precise and always on track with your meals, portions, daily workouts or activities. Try to sleep at least 7 and a half hours/ night and always remember to drink lots of water.
To keep on with your diet and lose weight fast you need to incorporate a large variety of ingredients. Healthy can mean tasty too!
If you are not so familiar with this type of recipes inform yourself first. Incorporate omega 3 in your daily routine and keep the stress away from you. Try to relax and think that you are a step away to change your habits and eat more clean and lean. Once you get used to this kind of thinking and life, it will get easier and you will have so much fun doing exercises, running or choosing what activity you love.
Take count that you can always choose to invite your family and friends and make outside activities bonding time and spread love!

Health: Three Reasons Why You Should Lose Weight
Are you a woman who is struggling with your
weight? If you are, you are definitely
not alone. Today, many women are faced with many issues, including weight. If you are unhappy with your current weight, you
may be interested in changing it, but, for many, that is often easier said than
done.
When it comes to losing weight, many women
are able to come up with an unlimited number of excuses as to why they can’t
lose weight or excuses as to why this important issue should be pushed off to
the side for now. Many women are lacking
the motivation needed to lose weight. If
you are one of those women, you will want to continue reading on. Below, three
reasons as to why you should lose weight are outlined and these reasons may
serve as the motivation that you have been looking for
#1 – Appearance
Although many women are satisfied with the
way that they look, many are not. If you
are currently unhappy with the way that you look and feel, you will want to
consider losing weight. Weight loss,
even a small one, can significantly improve the way that you see yourself, as
well as the way that others see you. If
you hate looking at yourself in the mirror every morning, it may be time to
think about losing weight.
#2 – Health
For many women, being overweight or obese
isn’t just about carrying around a few extra pounds. Obesity has been linked to a number of health
complications, including high blood pressure, diabetes, as well as the early
onset of death. If you do not take steps
to lose weight now, especially if you are seriously overweight, your health may
have other plans for you. It is
important to mention that those plans may not necessarily be good ones.
#3 Wellbeing
In addition to benefiting your health and
your physical appearance, weight loss can also make you feel good about
yourself. Many women notice an instant
improvement in their self-confidence and self-esteem when they lose weight.
This means that even if you are suffering from other issues, aside from weight
related issues, weight loss may be able to assist you with overcoming those
issues or at least the stress that is associated with them.
The three above mentioned reasons are just
a few of the many reasons why you may want to think about losing weight, if you
have weight to lose. Should you decide that losing weight is in your best
interest, you may want to think about making an appointment with a healthcare
professional. These types of
appointments are important, as well as insightful. Your healthcare professional
may be able to instruct you on safe ways that you can go about losing weight
and they may also be able to help you set reasonable weight loss goals for
yourself.
Although it is advised that you speak with
a healthcare professional about your intent to lose weight, you don’t have to
just rely on their expertise or their input. A large number of women, just like
you, lose weight by joining locally operated weight loss programs, as well as
online weight loss programs. What is nice about weight loss programs, both
those operated locally and online, is that you often walk away with
professional advice, as well as support from others just like you.

How to Prepare For A Healthy Day The Night Before
Changing daily living habits on a consistent basis is likely the most
difficult part of the entire weight loss process. If you've already
started on this trek to drop that excess weight and get in shape, you
may have found some aspects of this journey a bit more difficult that
others.
Everyone is different so what's easy for you to do may cause extreme issues for someone else. However for the most part the two most important items of business you need to take care of on a regular basis is your daily nutrition and your exercise regiment.
Therefore here's what you can do to help prepare for a healthy day the night before. You'll find that when you take care of most of this preparation before you go to sleep, you will be much more inspired to stick with your intended plan the following day. And that's what counts the most.
Once you develop this healthy habit and stick with it consistently, planning out your healthy day the night before will become your ritual and those pounds will really start falling off your body.
Since nutrition is the absolute key for weight loss success, if there is one thing you prepare before you go to sleep is what you'll eat the following day. Don't stop at merely what you'll have for breakfast since that meal is likely about 1/4 of what you will be consuming for the day.
Take a moment to prepare two pre-portioned snacks along with a sensible lunch. Think easy and nutritious. For snacks, fruits like bananas, apples, oranges, grapes, and peaches need nothing more than maybe a quick rinse and they're ready to do. Or how about some yogurt or raisins with almonds? Tie any of these snacks with a 20oz. bottle of water and you have a great low-calorie, nutritious snack that will tide you over to your next meal.
When it comes to your meals, portion size is king. The portion you should eat for a meal will vary depending on your age, gender, and activity level, but generally a fist-sized amount on a small plate give or take a bit should be fine. At meals, don't eat to the point of being stuffed. You've eaten far too much if you have that feeling afterwards. Develop the habit of drinking one or two large glasses of water throughout your meal and slow down your eating and you'll find that you will get full on less food than you're likely used to.
It can help to buy some plastic travel containers that are size appropriate for your meals. The next time you are at the market or your local dollar store, take a look at the variety of containers they have for sale and pick some up to add to your current inventory. These travel containers can really make the difference between sticking with healthy nutrition when away from home. You don't want to abandon your intentions and resort to getting a meal from a fast food spot since that likely won't lead to weight loss success.
Once you have a good handle on your nutrition for the following day, don't forget to try and plan a time when you will get some exercise. A great idea is to exercise in the morning right after you wake up. Get it out of the way and not only will you rev up your metabolism early in the morning, but you will be much more inspired to stick with your healthy day, particularly your healthy eating plan since you already have a great workout under your belt.
To help ensure you workout in the morning, set all your exercise clothes and tennis shoes out on your dresser the night before. Set the alarm clock for an hour (or 45 minutes) before you usually get up and be sure to go to sleep a bit earlier. Watching television until well past midnight is not going to help you lose weight at all, getting up early and exercising will, plain and simple.

10 Things Over 50 Weight Lifters Should Do Differently
As you get older, working out and lifting weights inevitably become
much more difficult. It's just how the human body is designed. However,
this does not mean you cannot get results in the gym.
This does not mean by any means that you should stop working out. In fact, experts like the American Heart Association recommend regular cardio and muscle strengthening exercise for people over 50, 60, and 70.
What you should do is modify your training a bit. By doing these 10 things a bit differently than you did in the past, you can still see great results and be in the prime shape of your life without risking injury. This will keep you healthier and stronger, for longer.
1. Know Your Goals
Whether you're into competitive bodybuilding, or working out to stay healthy, fit and strong, you need to know your goals, and make sure you structure your workout plan to meet them in a healthy and productive manner.
2. Adjust Intensity Levels
Along with your goals, be aware and realistic with the pace of your workouts as well. Higher intensity workouts that you thrived on in your 20s may result in more soreness and down time than you want as you age. This does not mean your workout cannot be challenging and satisfying though. Find a good pace and intensity level that works for you now, and feel free to experiment to find your optimal pace for your body now.
3. Lower The Weight
This is probably the most impactful change you can make to your workout routine to stay fit and minimize the risk for injuries. Once you know your goals, and identify the pace that works best for you, lower the weight you're lifting and focus on building strength and taking care of your joints. Moreover, the decrease doesn't have to be more than 20 or 30% so you'll still be putting up impressive numbers if you were heavy lifting before.
4. Up the Reps
You can make up the loss in weight by increasing your reps. Stick with a minimum of 12, and focus on perfect form at a lower weight. You'll still get results and keep your body strong.
5. Use Drop Down And Super Sets
In addition to lowering the weight and increasing your reps, you can pump up your muscles with drop downs and super sets to push your stamina and amp up your strength.
6. Rest A Little Longer
Your body may require a bit more rest between sets to make sure you can put your full strength into each exercise. Try adding an extra 20 or 30 seconds to your rest periods so you can get more out of each exercise.
7. Don't Cut Cardio
Cardio becomes increasingly important for good physical health as you age, so make sure you're doing cardio a least 3 times a week as part of your workout routine.
8. Drop Bad Health Habits
If you're trying to lead the party lifestyle, now is the time to cut back on the bad habits you developed and enjoyed in your 20s and 30s. Your body does not have the same bounce back factor, and it will affect the results you can achieve in the gym.
9. Eat Your Vegetables
Make sure you are eating a healthy diet that includes veggies, and have at least 2 servings a day. French fries don't count.
10. Get Enough Sleep Each Night
Sleep is vital to help your body rejuvenate, repair, and grow. Make sure you're getting adequate sleep to fuel your energy levels, and sleep in occasionally on days off.
This does not mean by any means that you should stop working out. In fact, experts like the American Heart Association recommend regular cardio and muscle strengthening exercise for people over 50, 60, and 70.

Weight Loss - Fat Loss Gimmicks You Need To Know About
Looking to lose weight? If so, there's a good chance you're
taking a closer look at all the programs and products out on the market
designed to help you reach this goal. As you do, it's important you use a
very skeptical eye as there are many products that simply are not going
to deliver on the results they promise you.
To help you spot the scams, let's go over a few of the main offenders its wise for you to avoid at all costs...
1. Fat Loss Vibration Systems. If it vibrates, turn away immediately. You simply cannot vibrate off your body fat, so don't believe any one who tells you different.
Remember, to lose fat, you need to create a calorie deficit in your body, meaning you consume fewer calories than you burn off. This vibrator is not going to have your body burning many calories at all, so it's really doing very little to help you realize success.
2. Ab Belts. Next, you have the Ab belt. Ab belts are often worn around the waist and either hug your waist tightly, claiming to cinch your midsection or they also vibrate, using the same principle as above.
Whichever particular Ab belt you're considering, stop considering it. It again is not going to work. Nothing short of a healthy diet and exercise program will help you lose fat from your midsection.
3. Sweat Suits. Which brings us to another of the weight loss fads out there - sweat suits. And by this, we're not talking about a jogging suit, but rather a suit you wear designed to increase your perspiration rate, helping you lose fat.
While you may lose weight using this one, it's not fat weight you're losing. Instead, you'll drop a high amount of water weight as you simply sweat it out of your body.
Should you choose to drink water after wearing it, you'll see the weight come rushing back. It's not a permanent solution of any kind. Nor is it safe. Dehydration can have serious consequences so avoid this one at all costs.
4. Body Wraps. Finally, you might come across a body wrap claiming to help banish cellulite. Here again, note you aren't losing cellulite, you are simply losing water. This may temporarily help you see less cellulite on your body, but as soon as you are rehydrated, it will come right back.
So keep an eye out for these weight loss gimmicks. Put more emphasis on learning how to eat healthily and exercise wisely, and you will be on a much smarter road to success.
To help you spot the scams, let's go over a few of the main offenders its wise for you to avoid at all costs...
1. Fat Loss Vibration Systems. If it vibrates, turn away immediately. You simply cannot vibrate off your body fat, so don't believe any one who tells you different.
Remember, to lose fat, you need to create a calorie deficit in your body, meaning you consume fewer calories than you burn off. This vibrator is not going to have your body burning many calories at all, so it's really doing very little to help you realize success.
2. Ab Belts. Next, you have the Ab belt. Ab belts are often worn around the waist and either hug your waist tightly, claiming to cinch your midsection or they also vibrate, using the same principle as above.

Although managing your disease can be very challenging, Type 2
diabetes is not a condition you must just live with. You can make simple
changes to your daily routine and lower both your weight and your blood
sugar levels. Hang in there, the longer you do it, the easier it gets.
Using The Law of Attraction To Lose Weight
Being overweight is a problem facing a considerable number of
people across the world. It is partly contributed by the change in
lifestyle and wrong eating habits. And as the problem continues to
become more rampant even in developing countries, some weight loss ideas
and programs provided by nutritionists, however, have not been so
effective. But could it be because of the mindset of partakers?
The law of attraction states '... like attracts likes'. And that you are a deliberate creator of everything in your life and every situation that you are in today. This means, before you even embark on changing your diet or spending more time in the gym in your quest to cut down excess weight, you first need to re-condition your mind. Here is how you go about it:
Believe it's possible to lose weight
To lose weight using the law of attraction, you first and foremost need to believe that it is possible. It is through believing that you will call things into existent.
Quoting from the good book: "Faith comes by hearing... "To reprogram your mind so that you can start believing, you need to constantly and consciously tell yourself statements such as; my weight is falling, am getting thinner. It is called positive affirmation. When you affirm to yourself that you are actually achieving you desired weight, things will just start falling into place. You don't need to know 'HOW' just believe.
To understand that this law is actually inaction, just hold an image of your friend that for a long time you not seen him or her. Block everything from your mind and concentrate on that particular thought. Suddenly, out of nowhere, you will receive a letter, an email from that friend or just run into each other.
Some people are busy holding onto some strenuous workouts and obnoxious diets and still not yet achieving their desires. Why? This is because their minds are not aligned with their desires. Everyday you have to go around telling yourself that it is possible. When you believe you are letting your intentions be known to the universe whose power will reward you by attracting the kind of results that you long for.
Develop an attitude of gratitude
If you want to see yourself losing as much weight as you desire you need to develop an attitude of gratitude. Gratitude, in this context, means being grateful even in minor achievements. Losing weight using the law of attraction requires that you learn how to always feel good and embrace yourself with love when you lose just a fraction of a pound.
When you are grateful and feel good for the right things in your life, you will create more of those. This means, if you go around focused on your excess weight, seeing yourself as not enough or thinking of how people are negatively perceiving you, you will never achieve your weight loss goal. See, you may not have the kind of size that you want but you have a well-paying job, you have good voice or an amazing sense of humor. Just consciously focus on the right things in your life and you will see the wrong ones fall off or just fade away.
Being grateful for the minor achievements will attract to you, through the law of attraction, more things to be grateful for. The universe will excuse you! You will unconsciously find yourself eating certain type of food, drinking a lot of water and working out more. This is because you will have allowed your mind to send out the incomprehensible wave of energy to the universe about your desires to attain a certain body size.
