Article 2: 5 Tips to Fast Weight Loss Weight loss is a touchy subject for many of us. After all, it’s a bit frustrating to see those pounds go on a lot easier than they come off and with so many different claims of fast weight loss it’s hard to decipher what works and what doesn’t. Check out these 5 tips to fast weight loss. 1. Make a Plan – Saying I want to lose weight isn’t a plan for losing weight. Telling yourself you’ll eat healthy starting tomorrow, or you’ll start jogging next Monday, isn’t a plan for action, and it’s not going to help you lose those extra pounds. In fact, the failure rate is almost 100% when there is no plan. What’s a plan look like? Well it goes something like this: I’m going to lose 10 pound in 35 days and I’m going to exercise for 30 minutes every day at 4:30pm. 2. Acai Berry – The buzz of Acai Berry seems to have traveled quickly around the globe. This is one of the best antioxidant foods out there and the Acai Berry Select Weight Loss Supplement has been talked about by Dr. Oz as being a successful tool by many. 3. Chew it Properly – If you’re wondering what chewing has to be with weight loss you’ll be surprised to learn that chewing your food 10 times before you swallow allows your body to better use the nutrient and it also means better digestion of foods leading to weight loss. 4. Drink Plenty of Water – When you drink adequate water your body is able to flush away harmful toxin. Water has no calories and the more of it you drink the fuller you’ll feel. There are no calories in water. Drinking a large glass before you eat means you’ll eat far less. And when you find yourself reaching for an unhealthy snack drink a glass or two of water and watch the urge disappear. 5. Resistance Training – With resistance training you muscles responds to the resistance placed on them. If you life weights there’s tiny tears in the muscles which require energy to rebuild and that energy comes from the fat stored in your body. To lose weight you need to create a calorie deficit so when muscles use calories you lose pounds. It’s not nearly as complicated as some might want to make it. Fast weight loss isn’t as difficult to accomplish as you might think. Put these 5 great tips to work and you’ll see your waist start to shrink in no time. Article 3: Natural Weight Loss Cooking Tricks One way to lose weight is to make your own food every day. This way you can reinvent the way the foods you love are prepared and cut the number of calories that you ingest as well. One tip is to roast your vegetables before you cook with them. This makes vegetables taste sweeter and makes it less necessary to add butter, sugar or creamy sauces. You can serve them on their own or puree them and use them as a base for stock, dips and sauces. To roast vegetables all you need to do is spray them with cooking oil, coat them lightly and roast in a pan. The result is a low cal solution to flavoring foods. One of the problems of eating low calorie foods is that they taste so bland. You can use some spices to make them taste better. Adding spices and herbs to water, oil helps fiber rich foods like cous cous and rice taste better. You can also prevent adding fat when baking by substituting butters, fats and oils with pureed substitutes. This allows you to retain the moisture in baked goods without giving up any flavor. Yet another trick is to cook with fresh juices and fruits. This can help you cut down on the consumption of fat and sugar in your recipes. You can even add these to savory dishes to give them more oomph. Yet another tip is to use a wire rack when you cook. Placing the wire rack above the roasting pan allows fatty juices to drip down into the pan. You can also grill fish and meats in milk or coconut milk. Yet another solution is to use cooking spray whenever you can. This can save you from eating thousands of calories. Most people fry foods using at least tablespoons of oil which is worth 2100 calories of fat. All you really need is a spray that contains seven calories “per misting” of your frying pan or salad bowl. You don’t have to buy commercially made vegetable oil spray either. You can buy a pressurized canister that you can put your own oils in. If you need more moisture while cooking you can also add a little juice or low fat broth to help the vegetables cook faster while flavoring them at the same time. The point is that you can cook with just about everything else but fat. That way you don’t have to add unnecessary calories to the food you are eating. In fact when it comes to being one of the most natural ways to lose weight making your own food is one of the best approaches to cutting calories. Article 4: Acai Berries For Weight Loss You have probably been hearing a great deal about acai berries lately. They are being promoted as the latest and greatest weight loss miracle food. Acai fruit are small but easily distinguishable purple and black berries that hail originally from the Amazon rainforests. They are one of the new diet super foods that are on the market and they are sold as everything from a mash to a juice or even mixed in with yogurt. You can also buy it in powdered form and pill form to help expedite the kind of elimination from your colon that can also speed up weight loss. Acai berries are classified as super foods because aside from weight loss they offer a very wide range of health benefits. These benefits include life extension, free radical fighting and keeping your blood pressure under control. The berry is also a potent immune system booster that can help prevent you from catching colds and flus. One of the unique things about this berry from the rainforest is that it can also help boost energy levels and stamina. This can really help when it comes to giving you enough energy to get through an exercise routine. Some individuals believe that it is actually a mood booster of some sort although technically it is classified as a food both in America and South America. The acai berry contains very high levels of dietary fiber which can help your digestive system to become more efficient. Less crap is allowed to fester and ferment in your digestive tract and stomach. This is important, because most people do not take on board sufficient dietary fiber in their normal diet which means that over time, a significant amount of undigested food gets left in your stomach. In fact some natural health experts claim that there can be up to 20 pounds of ‘rubbish’ in your gut that never gets shifted under normal circumstances and that you need to take some kind of natural cleanser (like acai berry) that prompts the intestinal process in order to get your bowels moving. Hence, as you drink lots more water whilst increasing your consumption of high fiber foodstuffs such as fruit, vegetables and acai, it is quite possible that you will see a very significant weight drop in the first few days as these toxins are flushed out of your system. This could manifest as diarrhea at first but the key is to be patient. Some people suffer this side effect for just a few hours and others for quite a few days as the colon cleans itself out. Article 5: How to Combat Belly Fat If you have belly fat building up around your midriff it is not a good sign. You need to address this matter by adjusting your diet. Here are some tips for combating belly fat. 1. Include more fiber in your diet. If your digestive tract is bloated or constipated it can cause your tummy to become distended. Eat more fiber in the form of grains, flax seeds and vegetables. When matter is cleaned out of the digestive tract it makes you look thinner. 2. Drink more water. The colon needs to flush out toxins and the best way to do this is drink sixty four ounces of water which is equal to eight eight ounce glasses of water a day. Never wait until you are thirsty to drink as that means you are already dehydrated. 3. Eat food rich in magnesium. This includes beets, raisins, dates and soybeans. These help fight a variety of cancers and help keep your muscles operating without pain so you can reduce that belly fat. Magnesium also helps calm your nerves which in turn can help prevent anxious overeating. 4. Eat foods rich in folic acid. This includes orange juice and spinach. You will be able to exercise long without getting exhausted if you get enough of this nutrient. 5. Get enough Vitamin D. In order to lead a healthy life you need to supplement your diet with at least 1200 milligrams of Vitamin D a day. 6. Take two Baby Aspirin every day. This is one way to help sweep cholesterol and fat out of the system. It helps prevent belly swelling and fat building up around the midriff. 7. Drink black coffee. Drinking black coffee helps the intestines to eliminate waste. Drinking up to three cups a day can help keep the waistline trim and also provide you with the stimulation and stamina that you need to sustain exercising for a long time. 8. Eat foods with next to no calories. Foods with no calories are called zero calorie foods and include lettuces and berries. These foods have almost no calories in them. They are also rich in antioxidants and help keep you from gaining weight. 9. Eat whole grains. Eating grains can help flush fat and cholesterol out of the intestines. Quinoa, spelt and bulgur are good choices. 10. Drink rice or soy milk instead of milk. Even the slightest of milk allergies has been known to distend a stomach and produce gas and inflammation that can make you look fatter than you are. Article 6: Anaerobic Exercise and Weight Loss Anaerobic exercise is the type of exercise that we otherwise call muscle building or weight lifting. It is the best kind of exercise to adopt in order to lose weight. The term anaerobic means movements that are carried out “without oxygen.” It allows muscles to bulk up and become very strong. This is due to the muscle fibers being forced to work harder because oxygen is not constantly being pumped into the lungs and fueling the activity. This “without oxygen” term does not mean that you are not breathing when you accomplish the moves. A weight lifter still breathes when they are not in an oxygen deficit situation. When you exercise muscles aerobically you do not breathe heavily. Aerobic exercises include such activities as cycling, jumping rope, and swimming, spinning on a stationary cycle, rebounding and running. You may breathe heavily doing these exercises to get your heart rate up. Lifting weight does not accelerate your pulse in the same way. Anaerobic exercises are used during training for non-endurance sports like boxing to build muscle mass. Muscles that are trained under anaerobic conditions develop in a different way than muscles that are training for duration (such as long distance running.) Muscle training compels the body to use processes that are not dependant on oxygen to produce energy. It just means that you are not using as much oxygen as if you were jogging or swimming. All weight lifting exercises are classified as anaerobic in nature. Many types of anaerobic exercises associated with weightlifting. However the most common types include working with pulleys, medicine balls and slant boards. This is very unlike an aerobic exercise, which usually requires that the body travel unless you are using a training machine such as a stationary bicycle. Almost all stationary exercise is anaerobic in nature. Different types of anaerobic exercises can also be used as part of interval training. Interval training is a very efficient way to lose weight and build muscle. The combination of both exercises is effective way to lose weight and keep it off for good. Practicing anaerobic exercises can help you build lean muscle. Lean muscle keeps on burring fat long after you stop exercising. This is why this type of oxygen free exercise is such an important part of an exercise program that has the goal of achieving weight loss. Lean muscle mass burns the most calories of any other tissue in your body. It can help you reduce your weight at a faster rate than aerobic exercise. The other bonus is that lean muscle tissue keeps burning muscle for hours after you stop exercising which maximizes your overall potential to lose as much weight as possible. Article 7: The Reasons Most People Are Overweight Being overweight is not always just a matter of being lazy or eating too much. Sometimes there are other issues that cause people to become obese. The problem is that no one diet automatically recognizes the difference between how a fat person’s metabolism operates and how a thin person’s operates. In essence a thin person and a fat person could eat the same meals for a week and the thin person would not gain weight while the fat one would. Fat people often have abnormally low metabolisms and this means they have problems burning food as fuel. When it is not burned the excess is converted into fat. To correct this you need to embark on a healthy diet. Yet another factor that plays into weight gain is that people with abnormally low metabolism are always hungry. The pain of their cravings is very physical and very real. The reason fat people crave food is because they do not feel full after eating. It is because their body is not using the nutrients in the food to nourish them. It is not uncommon for overweight people to become immediately hungry after eating even a very large meal! Another very real cause of being overweight is emotional overeating. This is the tendency to “eat your anger.” Evolutionary biologists describe this as the need to “bite into something” when we are angry or stressed as that is exactly what are cave man ancestors did. Food can also take the place of approval, love or sex or even a parent’s love. People who are overeating for these reasons are often very miserable when they go on a diet because they associate food with love and feel deprived with love once the diet requires them to restrict their calories. The idea is to adopt a non-acidic diet so that you are free of these cravings, which can become a vicious circle. Eating a non-alkaline diet will put you back in control of these cravings. It is a very freeing experience that puts you backs in control when it comes to choosing to eat what you want and when you want. You also won’t overeat because you will always feel nourished and being properly nourished is absolutely key to stopping those hunger pangs that can lead to weight gain in the first place. Article 8 : 5 Common Myths About Fast Weight Loss The truth is we can build muscle and lose weight fast. Failure often comes on the hands of poor information. There are 5 common myths about fast weight loss that you shouldn’t believe. Myth #1 – I overeat so there’s no way I’ll ever lose fat quickly. Overeating is mostly the result of stress – when a person is worried, depressed, scared, sad, or anxious overeating is often the result. Decrease your stress and you’ll be surprised at how fast you lose pound. Becoming physically active can lead to a loss in weight. Myth #2 – My genetics mean I’ll always be overweight. Being fat isn’t a result of your genetics. Yes some families may have a pattern of being overweight but you can overcome your genes and lose fat quickly. Your genetics don’t control your weight, your lifestyle choices do. Watch a couple of episodes of “The Biggest Loser” if you want proof. Myth #3 – I’m fat because of a slow metabolism. It’s true when your thyroid isn’t functioning properly it can slow your metabolism and bring your fat loss to a halt. However most people that believe they have a slow metabolism really don’t. Instead what they have is a need to jumpstart the body with a combination of good nutrition and aerobic exercise. It’s a simple as a 15 minute brisk walk. Myth #4 – It’s possible to keep the weight off even with a fad diet. If you want to quickly lose 10 pounds a fad diet will certainly allow you to accomplish that quickly. But the research indicates that 80% of dieters will actually gain the weight back in 5 years. Worse, you’ll also lose muscle mass and gain back fat. This might explain why society seems to be getting more overweight as the years go by. Losing the weight using a diet (even a fad diet) isn’t so bad as long as you follow up with healthy lifestyle changes that ensure you keep the weight off. Myth #5 – I can lose my belly fat doing crunches Far too many people attempt to get rid of belly fat with no success. What happens is muscle builds under the belly fat and then your belly actually looks bigger. If you want to lose belly fat faster aerobic exercise is the answer – in fact, you’ll lose belly fat as much as 10x faster with cardiac exercises. Now that we’ve uncovered these 5 myths you’ll be shedding those extra pounds faster than ever.
