Medifast For Teens Or Kids? My Modified Version That Has Worked

Let me disclose right upfront that I am not a doctor, but I have lost almost 50 pounds on medifast. A couple of months ago, I was approached by a coworker who had three pretty overweight children, who frankly were approaching being obese. After seeing my results, and noticing that I'd been able to eat snack type foods, my coworker wanted to know if medifast could work for her kids and her teenage daughter.

There's not much data available on using the medifast diet on kids or teens and I knew that children are still growing so it probably was not a good idea to severely limit or restrict their calories. But I also knew that some of this diet's foods are very carb and snack like, and I knew that she was having trouble controlling the snacks that her kids ate. In particular, the kids were very fond of junk foods and candy.

A light bulb went off in my head. I figured maybe we could start with just encouraging the kids to eat a medifast bar, pudding or shake when they reached for a junk food snack. In essence, we were trading the high sugar, high calorie candy bars and fast foods for something equivalent from the diet's offerings. Since these kids snacked several times per day, we were saving a lot of calories this way. Initially, we left their regular meals alone, just using medifast as snack substitutes. We ordered one variety package (and are getting ready to order another) and this lasted us a good while and was not much more expensive than junk food.

The kids handled this pretty well. Luckily, most of the medifast snack foods are really good, so it was not a big stretch to eat a protein bar rather than a candy bar or medifast pudding or crackers rather than chips. We always made sure we took the food out of the wrapper so they didn't have to walk around advertising they were eating diet foods.

The kids started to see some results after only a few weeks. As their enthusiasm increased even more, we decided to see if we could replace more of their daily empty calories with medifast. However, we were very careful not to restrict their calories or food choices. Basically, we added one medifast element at every meal and had them eat that in addition to and before their regular meal.

For instance for breakfast we would offer them medifast oatmeal or eggs to start. They would eat that and then if they were still hungry they could eat their regular sugary cereal breakfast if they wanted. For lunch, they'd have the diet's soup or chili before they dove into the pizza or burgers. (We'd pack this in a thermos so no one knew they were eating diet food.) And we started preparing lean and green meals for dinner. We still let them eat a bit of their regular favorite foods at dinner, but just not nearly as much.

What we hoped would happen did. The kids got filled up on medifast so they didn't eat as much of their junk and low quality foods and they continue to see really dramatic results. The teen is now able to self regulate what she eats and has cut out a lot of junk. We still don't allow them to rely solely on the diet for their calories. That may be too drastic for kids, but the teen in particular is now making really good choices with the food that she eats in addition to medifast.

I think the reason this worked is because the medifast snack foods are really tasty and kid friendly and we never restricted what the kids ate. We never told them they couldn't have anything. We just had them eat medifast first. We were adding food instead of taking it away, but by doing this, they were actually eating less bad foods because they were filling up on medifast.

I would never advocate replacing medifast for a kid or teen's entire caloric intake. However, in this case, substituting the diet's foods for junk food snacks or poor food choices has been quite effective and much easier than I thought. My coworker is very grateful and is now on medifast herself.

Fat Loss 4 Idiots Reviews

There are many Fat Loss 4 Idiots Reviews around the web. I hope this short article will dispel many of the myths regarding this diet and will give a clear view of what it actually is.

So what is the Fat Loss 4 Idiots diet, really?

Fat Loss 4 Idiots is a nutrition based diet which is founded on the calorie shifting weight loss method. What I mean by it being a nutrition based diet is that involves very little exercise and the weight loss is in fact triggered by sound nutrition alone. This has a a good side and a not so good one: the not so good side to this kind of diet is that you don't develop any muscles or stamina, the good side is that it's very easy to do and requires almost no effort on your part. Of course, nothing stops you from exercising while on this diet, it's just not part of the diet itself.

The Calorie Shifting weight loss method is something which the Fat Loss 4 Idiots team invented. No FatLoss4Idiots Reviews can be complete without a little explanation about it. So here goes: Calorie Shifting is a nutritional way to induce a continued high metabolic rate while a person is on a diet. You see, what usually happens when a person goes on a diet is that his/her metabolism gradually slows so that continued weight loss is very hard to accomplish. By shifting your calories, you basically solve this problem, since you can get your metabolism to disregard the fact that you're dieting. This makes it easier to lose weight fast for a long time and also helps to maintain this weight loss after the diet is over.

Not everyone does as well on the Fat Loss 4 Idiots diet. Some people lose 6 lbs in the first 10 days, others even make 8 or more. There are also some people who don't succeed with it. I want you to know, though, that for many, the diet has proved successful. I believe that for most people, it's a great way to shed some pounds fast.

You can read all the Fat Loss 4 Idiots reviews that you want and still not get a complete picture. I suggest that you pay close attention to user testimonials.

The following webpage has a review of the diet and many user testimonials. It also contains questions and answers about the diet. Make sure to read this webpage through: Fat Loss 4 Idiots Reviews and Testimonials

Weight Loss And Starvation

If you've ever tried to lose weight by starving yourself then you already know that not only does this not work, but it actually backfires, and usually makes you GAIN weight. When you try to go for extended periods of time without eating (more than four or five hours) you're basically working against your body.

Not Smart.

See, eating is natural. It's instinctive. We are hard wired as human beings to eat. So what normally happens when someone tries to starve themselves is they eventually end up succumbing to their natural instincts, and instead of eating...

They binge eat!

Now here's where it gets even worse: When this happens someone might believe that they "failed" and they need to develop more "discipline" or "will power."

They start believing that the problem is a lot worse than it actually is. Now, as I discuss in the book Living Life Lean, there is tremendous power in discipline, yet it definitely doesn't serve you when you try to use it to starve yourself!

Another reason why this misconception is so destructive is because it damages your metabolism, which is critical to burning fat and living lean. I would think that by now this debunked "strategy" would be extinct.

But it's not.

I see so many people who believe they will be different. In their mind they think it will actually work for them, and THEN once they reach their desired outcome they'll stop.

Is this, or will this ever be a solution to living life lean?

Not a chance.

So what is the solution? You take the exact OPPOSITE approach and begin to eat more often. Ironically, once you begin to eat more frequently you'll think about food less and it's actually a much easier way to become lean.

All the while, you're keeping your body in a constant state of thermogenisis (your internal body temperature is raised) and your metabolism is running on all cylinders and burning fat at an optimum rate.

5 Healthy Tips To Weight Loss

The world is fascinated with weight loss, some for health reasons and others for cosmetic. No matter the reason, many people try harsh diets that never work, extreme exercise regimens that result in injuries or other weight loss program that end without success. The reason that none of these weight loss methods seem to work is because in order to stay with a program, you have to enjoy it. Not only that, but it has to be safe as well.

Below are 5 genuine tips to weight loss, which almost anyone can do without tossing out their favorite food or spending every spare minute in the gym. Realistically, any weight loss program will take time. If anyone promises you different, they are either not being completely honest or are simply uninformed. Follow one single weight loss program for 30 days, whatever it may be, and see if you have results. If not, move on to something else. In the meantime, check out several tips to getting started today.

Tip # 1
Walking. If you can set aside 30 minutes every day to enjoy a leisurely stroll, you will be strengthening your legs and your heart while burning some calories in the process.

Tip # 2
Use a mini cycle. These portable little exercise units offer the look of bicycle pedals set up on a metal bar, but without the high price or weight of a standard exercise bike. With a min cycle, you can pedal at your desk, on the couch or anywhere else that you can comfortably set and reach the pedals.

Tip # 3
Walk or take the stairs instead of an elevator. This is a terrific weight loss exercise without even noticing the extra effort. Something as simple as a few extra steps every day can go a long way where weight loss is concerned. The next time you go to the store, park in the middle of the parking lot and walk to the store. Avoid parking in the closest spot to the door, which is tempting, but opt to walk instead.

Tip # 4
You dont necessarily have to cut out all of your favorite foods, but you should eat them in moderation. There is no single food that will completely hinder your weight loss attempt but, if consumed excessively, it may. For instance, simply limit your intake to one candy bar or, if you are being really careful, a miniature candy. There is no reason to cut out your favorite food when a conservative amount of the things we love can still have a place in our lives, including during the times that we are focusing on weight loss.

Tip # 5
Whatever your exercise routine, set aside a certain time each day to do it. Individuals who set a routine are much more likely to stay with it and find success than those who simply exercise whenever they have time. The goal to successful weight loss is to make time.

The Science of Arm Training

You know the world has changed when the average lifter wants a baseball players physique. A big chest, a thick back, and jacked arms pretty much completes the wish list for most. Now whether or not all of these players achieved their results with steroids, I dont know. The fact is, they sure as heck didnt get those arms by training with kickbacks and concentration curls.

If your arms havent grown since you thought baseball was drug-free, then its time to make a change to your workouts. And Im going to show you how to use efficient and effective exercises in a scientifically-designed plan that will add more size to your arms a week at BALCO labs.

Unlike the average gym member, the lifter that gets results trains with a plan (even on arm day). While my sets and reps scheme might be out in left field compared to what you are doing now, believe me, its guaranteed to improve on most arm training programs. But if you insist on playing in the 10-15 rep range for every exercise then you are bound to plateau and have minor-league arms. Research shows that a wide range of repetitions (from 3 reps per set to 12 reps per set) can lead to big-time gains in muscle size.

Using low reps and heavy weights for your arm exercises might go against the grain, but the following outline will work for arms and all other body parts. But for now, this is all you need to know.

In the first exercise of this workout, youll do 3 sets of 5 reps with a heavy weight (that allows you to complete all reps according to the guidelines below). The goal is to build absolute (maximal) strength and muscle mass (obviously). Increasing your absolute strength will help you lift more weight in all exercises. And if you can lift more weight, then you can train the muscles harder. In response, the muscle will get bigger to keep up to the demands of the heavy weights.

In the second exercise of the workout, youll use 4 sets of 8 reps. It just might be the optimal combination of intensity and volume for muscle growth and will work extremely well for lifters that have been stalled on higher rep sets.

In the third and final exercise of the workout for the arms, youll do 3 sets of 12 reps to add more volume to the workout and to fatigue the muscle and deplete muscle glycogen (glycogen is the name for carbohydrate stored in the muscles). High-volume training and fatigue cause the muscles to stock up on carbohydrate stores in preparation for the next training session. And when your muscles stock up on glycogen, they get bigger and future training sessions can be more intense. At the end of the 6 week program youll be blasting through these workouts with more intensity and strength than youve had in months.

One the trademarks of my strength-training programs, as you will see in the months to come, is to use supersets as often as possible (although there will be exceptions to the rule). With supersets, we pair two non-competing exercises together to get more work done in less time, without sacrificing strength or mass. Muscle size is not associated with how long you spend in the gym. The training goal is to get in, work hard, get out, pound a post-workout shake, get home, eat and grow.

Another way to increase the effectiveness of the training program is to focus on the tempo of the exercise. Tempo just means the speed of the exercise. For example and for our purposes, a 3-1-1 tempo means youll take 3 seconds to lower the weight, then youll pause for 1 second, and then youll lift the weight back up in 1 second. A slow eccentric (lowering) tempo and a fast concentric (lifting) tempo will work your Type II muscle fibers the hardest these are fibers that have the greatest potential for muscle growth. So youll get your best strength and mass gains by using that general tempo arrangement.

You may have gone through a tempo phase in the past for a couple of weeks and then due to human nature you probably got lazy and forgot about using it. But for the next 6 arm workouts, I want you to stick to the prescribed tempo. Youll see and feel the benefits after the first workout.

Now all that remains is to choose the best exercises for building big arms. With the help of scientific research, experience, and some recommendations from Charles Poliquin, Ive put together some of the most efficient and effective arm exercises for mass and strength.

After the 4-week arm assault I want you to cut back on your arm training for 1 week to allow your muscles to grow (and adapt to the training). If you regularly include an off-week in your training plan, take it here. Otherwise, skip your arm workout in week 5. You can return in week 6 with a new variation of this program. By the end of the program your results should be strikingly obvious and you might even be getting calls from major league sluggers for training tips.

Training Recommendations

Note: This program is for advanced lifters only. If you are a beginner, youll need only 1 set per exercise for the first two weeks and only two sets in weeks 3 & 4.

Do this workout 6 times in 4 weeks.
Week 1 Wednesday & Saturday
Week 2 Wednesday
Week 3 Wednesday & Saturday
Week 4 Wednesday
Week 5 Recovery week

Reduce the amount of direct shoulder training you do in the 4 week arm training phase.

Exercise descriptions: See the bottom of the article.

Warm-up: For a specific warm-up, perform 2 sets of each exercise in the first Superset. Start with 50% and then 75% of the weight you will use in your first real set. Perform 8 repetitions for each warm-up set.

Each pair of exercises constitutes a Superset. In each Superset, do one set of the first exercise (1A) followed immediately by the next exercise (1B). Rest 1 minute and repeat.

Use a proper weight for each exercise that allows you to get all repetitions completed with perfect form and the recommended tempo. It will require you to decrease the weights by at least 10% on most exercises.

Exercise Descriptions

Close-grip Rack Lockout Bench Press

Move a flat bench into the middle of the squat rack.
Set the pins 6-inches above your chest. Youll perform only the top half of a close-grip bench press.
Keep your feet flat on the floor, legs bent, and upper back flat against the bench.
Grip the bar using a shoulder-width grip & have your spotter help you take the bar from the rack.
Keep your elbows close to your sides, lower the bar straight down to the pins according to the tempo.
Pause briefly and then press the bar up in a straight line.
Poliquin recommends that you keep a very small bend in your elbows at the top of triceps exercises in order to keep the muscles working at all times.

Decline DB Triceps Extensions

Lie on the decline bench with your feet anchored appropriately.
Press the dumbbells over your chest to the start position and turn your palms in so that they face one another.
Start the movement by bending the elbow and lower the dumbbells down and beside your head.
Pause and hold for one second and then contract your triceps to extend your arms and move the dumbbells back to the start position.

Lying EZ-Bar Triceps Extension

Lie flat on a bench with dumbbells in each hand. Hold the dumbbells at arms length over your chest, with your palms facing each other.
Bend the elbows and lower the dumbbells behind your head.
Pause briefly at the bottom, and then contract the triceps and extend your arms back up to the starting position.

Close-grip EZ-Bar Preacher Curl

Sit at the preacher curl bench with a narrow, palms-up grip on the EZ-Bar.
Poliquin recommends that you set the height of the seat so the tops of your thighs are parallel to the floor.
Lean forward so that your armpits are at in contact with the top of the preacher bench and as you lower the bar your triceps are in contact with the padding of the bench.
Lower the bar until your arms are stretched.
Pause briefly and then contract your biceps to curl the bar back up to the top position.
Poliquin also recommends that you keep your wrists cocked back throughout the full range of motion.

Seated DB Incline Curls

Set the incline of the bench at 80 degrees (in an almost upright position).
Sit on the bench with a dumbbell in each hand and your palms turned up.
Lean back and keep your back and head against the bench at all times throughout the exercise.
Perform alternating dumbbell curls with each hand. Keep the palm up throughout the entire exercise.

Seated DB Zottman Curls

The Zottman curl is simply a dumbbell curl performed with a palms down grip as you lower the dumbbell and a palms-up grip as your lift the dumbbell. Its like doing a curl followed by a reverse curl.
Set an adjustable bench so that the back is upright. Sit down and hold a dumbbell in each hand at arms length with your palm turned up.
Contract the biceps and curl the dumbbell up to shoulder height.
At the top of the movement, turn your palm down and lower the dumbbell back to the start position.
Poliquin recommends that you keep your elbows glued to your sides throughout the lifting and lowering portion of the exercise.

Core-Principles: The Function of Functional Training

Okayokayokay! Enough already!!! It seems like with every new term, every new invention or just about anything that is seemingly not Everyday that we all become flustered and assume we know nothing, which is both a testament to our lack of faith in ourselves and also a reflection of our ever-growing dependence on externals to give us a little reassurance where our natural instincts should be in high gear.

My intention with this article is not to offend anyone especially those that whom, without their continual support I would surely be seeking a new line of work, and yes I am referring to my clients, so please dont feel like Im bashing you if I ever refer to any particular individuals or events, no names will be mentioned though. Okay soa while back, a client that I really respect and admire as a person had a dilemma that caused quite a bit of frustration for him and the other party that was involvedhis daughter, also a client. What happened (an avoidable sport related injury) was tough on all involved, including myself, which, for me was my integrity as a fitness professional, something that I dont take lightly and also a profession where in todays world either has a negative connotation or if viewed positively, we are all equally educated and equipped to handle all aspects of fitness when it comes to the customers specific and infinite diversities; be it post-rehabilitation, specificity of sport, special populations or general fitness concerns or needs... All fitness trainers are not professionals (imagine that!) nor are they equal in their abilities and hardly ever do you find a fitness trainer with expertise in a variety of different specialties! It takes many years of education, study, application with thousands of delicate intricacies (people are complex) that make us all, wellus, minutely distinct. It also requires an understanding of unique differences in personalities and the ability to cope with a multitude of unknown, potential disasters; not to mentionlikes, dislikes, opinions, lifestyles, cultures, beliefs and so on And its not just a general understanding of anatomy, physiology, exercise-science or athleticism It also includes an aptitude in psychology, communication and a deep desire to help others and to serve your fellow man with all that propels you forwardor at least that is what it is to me!

Im a pretty sensitive guy especially when it comes to my clients needs and the fulfillment of their needs and when something strikes to the bone such as this particular incident, I become so absorbent of their concerns it usually drives me to really dig deep into myself and hopefully I become a better resource for my clients out of these situations, which ironically if you read on is why I am writing this piece in the first place. The previously mentioned sport related injury of a talented young athlete is what motivated me to put pen to paper, she is very gifted and posses the kind of personality that we desperately need as role models in modern day athletics. But she was injured by a degreed professional and it seemed like there wasnt anyone around that could see the picture clearly: The DIAGNOSISrehab-therapy mingled with the rigors of hard-core team trainingthis boggled me; rehab always precedes specificity (sport) training, build, repair and then if recovery is attained, hit the hard-core stuff, plain and simple because re-injury will surely squelch the spirit and possible prevent true talent from ever recognizing its infinite potential.

This article is actually on core training or as Ill title it Kore-Training, but what is really functional training and not just abdominal/tummy training or training the body from its core center of gravity or even training the body beginning with its proximal musculature moving outward toward the distal focal point. The big misconception with core training is that it is just mid-section training and all you have to do is some quick crunches or even worse hyperextensions and your core will be stronger and leaner. I hear this all the time and it still puzzles me, its one thing for the customer seeking fitness to not be 100% sure what core training is, but a professional should know better! Guess what? Too many fitness trainers, sports and conditioning coaches and other so-called professionals have no idea what core training is! In essence it is just functional training and functional simply translates to the training of function/daily uses of the body or just training our bodies as they were designed to move. This obviously varies from person to person, athlete to athlete and the specific uses of each and every individual. Now, for a little tech-talk

If you wanna get down to nuts and bolts, the primary vicinity of the core is called theare you ready for this? Lumbo-Pelvic-Hip-Complex and in order to enhance the integrity of the core, what we are really doing is developing better dynamic postural control, increasing muscular balance, a greater degree of neuromuscular and bio-mechanic efficiency and building or rebuilding structural endurance and stabilization strength and power. And thats core training What does this mean to the layman? Crunches? Sit-ups? No! It means something different to each and every one of us. Are, ab exercises part of core training? Perhaps, if the lumbar region is strong enough to endure these exercises, but usually crunches are performed so poorly that a greater potential for injury will nullify what positive effects the crunches might possibly provide. So, the answer is both yes and no, depends on who is asking and your particular conditioning level, however rather than sticking our bodies in odd looking machines we should use movements that are relative to our activities or our sport or more specifically we should just use movements that keep our bodies free to move through space as we target various muscle groups, and if pondered, it doesnt take a genius to figure that out. The truth is both the Greeks and Romans trained for competition like this thousands of years ago, not to mention the fact that our bodies have not changed that much biologically, biochemically or physiologically, we are made of the same material as they were then.

Common sense is the key, move our bodies as they were designed to function and allow them to improve through progression and repetition. If we are looking to rehabilitate, repair or strengthen debilitations or genetically pre-disposed weaknesses then my advise would beconsult a qualified professional and by professional I mean someone who has a back-ground in this specific area of application or applied expertise: this expert should give an assessment and then a prescription of a detailed movement protocol for the individual, what you should be weary of is the professional that eagerly dispenses a standardized penciled-in work-out sheet that resembles yourFree-Introductory-Work-Out card at Jacks Work-Out Shack. Also, if any of these professionals hurt you Then, they simply are not PROFESSIONALS! Final note, I am adamantly opposed to knocking hard working, well intended others of my particular profession as well as those of the medical community, but when injuries are concerned, we should always do our selves justice and seek more than one (1) professional opiniondegrees, credentials and leg-up opportunities asideand I know you dont need me to tell you that. I, applaud each and every one of you that chooses the right choice, because the right is merely an echo of truth!

How To Lose Weight Fast In Simple Steps

Obesity in the U.S. is increasingly becoming an epidemic, not only for adults but it is also rising at an alarming rate among children. With the increasing rates are all the side effects of being overweight; diabetes, heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol just to name a few. But how to lose weight fast?

Everyone these days are looking for new ways to help lose the weight fast and get back to a more healthy and even better life. Let alone the benefits of being healthy were not enough but the money one can save just in medical bills and prescription drugs should entice more people to return back to a healthy lifestyle.

How to lose weight fast is what everyone is looking for. In a fast paced society these days people are looking for a quick fix or a magic pill to change their life around. Some even go to extreme measures as plastic surgery like liposuction to get the weight off fast. A quick fix is never the answer. You must change your lifestyle and diet to do it right. And the result is that you lose weight fast and healthy. You have to keep your body healthy.

To start things off, take the time to record a journal. By putting things down on paper allows one to see what their putting into their bodies and realize what they can remove from their diet to start to loose weight fast. When recording in your journal, write down the total calories, protein, carbohydrates, and fat that are each item that you eat. Don not forget everything you drink too, liquid calories can add up fast. It only takes 3,500 calories to equal one pound of fat if not burned off to your body. This is a major think when you want to lose weight fast.

As you start to realize what you are actually putting into your body, hopefully it will make you more aware when you are shopping and read the labels before you buy. Also take note the portion size. Most people don not and think they are eating healthier but are adding to the calorie count by a bigger portion or light products in a much bigger portion.

Secondly, to lose weight fast you must create a deficit in the calories you are taking in. How to lose weight fast: You can do this through diet, but you can actually do more harm if you do it drastically. It is our human nature to survive and our body will respond accordingly. If you don not feed your body enough it will think we are going through a famine and store what it can to survive. When it stores food it is stored as fat.

To do this properly, remove the junk from your diet first. How to lose weight fast: Foods and drinks like sugary snacks and sodas should definitely be eliminated first and secondly processed foods. Then start to look at your portion size. Believe it or not you can have too much of a good thing. After you have done that and are recording your intake, start cutting back a few hundred calories to create a deficit.

Just changing your diet is not going to help you lose weight fast. Diet is an important factor, but you must also do some exercise to help create a bigger deficit and build muscles to burn fat effective. Just simple exercises done 3 to 4 times a week at 20 minutes each time should be enough. Yes, 20 minutes are enough, just think of this: 10 sit ups in the morning and 10 sit ups right before going to bed. That will help you to lose weight fast.

So the quick formula for how to lose weight fast is proper diet and a little exercise. And don not forget the journal. Even people who eat as clean as possible can still overeat if not watching what you are eating.

The "X-Factor" of Weight Loss

Millions of people just don't get it.

They spend hours and hours on cardio machines.

They hire a personal trainer to take them through a "customized" workout routine.

But year after year their body continues to lack the definition that they desire.

Follow me here.

See, the gym I go to has lots and lots of loyal patrons. These are committed folks. They are there day in and day out.

In fact, my hat's off to them. And the first step to getting what you want is taking ACTION.

But here's the thing: many of these people, who are indeed consistent, still look the exact same year after year.

In other words they put in lots of time and effort but get little results.

Sound familiar?

Now this could certainly be an article about nutrition but that's not what I'm addressing here.

This article is about a certain "X-Factor" to making progress FAST.

If you want to lose "maximum fat in minimum time" and sculpt you're body in the shortest amount of time possible then this is a REQUIREMENT.

Unfortunately, it seems to still be a secret to millions.

What am I talking about?

Muscular failure.

When we're talking about exercise this is absolutely the quickest way to make progress.

I don't care what you want to do either - whether it's push ups, weight lifting at the gym, equipment bought off t.v, interval training..etc.

It doesn't matter.

If you want to see results fast then this concept is for you.

When you follow this principle you are in essence putting lots of stress on your muscles which requires them to find energy to develop and sustain themselves.

Now where do you think that energy is going to come from?

Fat.

By exercising to failure you're sending shockwaves through your body and sculpting it into a lean physique in the quickest way possible.

Weight Loss and Detoxification

The first thing that comes to mind when people think of weight loss is being hungry and miserable. Over the past ten years we have seen one fad diet after another claiming to help you shed those extra pounds within days. Unfortunately those diets are all doomed to failure simply because they do not promote healthy weight loss.

One well known low carbohydrate diet claims you can healthily lose ten pounds per week while another carbohydrate rich diet claims the same. Both diet plans promote drinking lots of fluids and maintaining a daily exercise regimen.

Exercise alone can help you shed the pounds and inches before swimsuit season, but don't overlook the importance of a well-balanced diet and full-body detoxification. One of the most important steps to detoxifying your body is a simple colon cleansing. Cleansing the colon of toxins can help flush out that bloated, fat feeling as well as help enhance your weight loss goals.

There are several options for a healthy colon cleanse and full body detoxification. Simply the addition of water, fruits and vegetables to your diet goes a long way in promoting a healthy lifestyle. Steamed or raw vegetables are a great source of vitamins and minerals as well as fiber to help cleanse the colon. Adding green, leafy vegetables to your diet will also increase your fiber intake, helping cleanse your colon and digestive tract very effectively. Cutting back on red meats and dairy products is also advised, as these foods congest the digestive tract.

Fruit and vegetable juices are also very good 'snack' fillers for when you need a quick little pick-me-up. Avoid that afternoon candy bar and soda, both are very high in fats and carbohydrates that will only help reverse your weight loss goals. The addition of eight to ten glasses of water per day will help flush your body of unwanted toxins and fat.

To many people, adding eight to ten glasses of water to their diet per day is a bit overwhelming. One way to remember to drink your water is to drink two to three glasses before every meal. This will also help you achieve a feeling of being full more quickly; thus aiding to your weight loss.

There is also a very wide variety of herbs that help aid in the cleansing of the digestive tract and colon. Herbs such as phylum are often found in over-the-counter laxatives. Phylum adds the fiber that your body needs to help it become regular and help flush out toxins that may hinder weight loss.

Detoxification and colon cleansing is a very important part of weight loss. Just changing one's eating habits can drastically improve your overall health. Studies have shown that the poor eating habits we all fall prey to cause our colon to store mass amounts of unhealthy toxins. In fact, the human colon can hold more than thirty-five pounds of toxins and feces.

The addition of rice, nuts, seeds, fish, beans and other protein-rich foods can help cleanse the colon of most of these unwanted toxins and pounds. Simply detoxifying your body by eating more healthily and drinking lots of water is an excellent way to jump-start any diet and exercise program. It's also probably the easiest thing you can change about yourself.

Salsa Dancing for Fitness is Hot

Salsa dancing is emerging as a refreshing replacement for conventional aerobic exercises. Classes based on the fiery music and movements of Salsa, Mambo, Cumbia, Merengue and more are starting to get people interested in Salsa dancing, while at the same time giving them a pounding workout.

Salsa music first appeared in the 1960s as a rhythmic fusion, birthed in the cultural melting pot of New York City. Combining Cuban Son with Guaracha, Montuno and Guaguanco, it also has a strong Puerto Rican Plena, Bomba and American jazz influence that mellows the smoking urban sound.

Salsas popularity began to percolate beyond the borders of the Latin neighborhoods in the early Seventies, spreading into New York's ballrooms and dance halls. Although somewhat formulized when practiced by those who favor profession competitions, salsa dancing in its most traditional form is typically spontaneous and extremely energetic. Dance movements alternate between the very slow and the furious, an embodiment of its lively musical style.

From a strictly athletic point of view, a night of dancing is a superb workout. It merges aerobic and anaerobic training, working your stamina and leg strength. Any kind of dancing is a great way to build the perfect body shape. The continual movements build up aerobic stamina while steadily burning calories over the course of the evening. This helps to strengthen and tone your legs at the same time you lose weight. But salsa excels at this.

Experts say that dancing salsa can burn up to 10 calories a minute, without the negative side effects of high impact exercises such as running. You can learn salsa dancing in the privacy of your home or in a studio, with or without a partner and its a fitness program that can easily be integrated into your social life. By using salsa dancing to get fit, you will not only look great, but youll have no excuse not to get out more and improve your social life.

The sudden bursts of frenzied dancing in Salsa also can help to improve the anaerobic fitness essential to sports like sprinting, swimming and basketball. Equally important to the aerobic paybacks are the improvements in flexibility and dexterity, a commonly overlooked facet of fitness. Elasticity from dancing will help your swiftness, power and co-ordination by growing your overall range of motion.

When you think about it, dance is actually the most natural form of exercise around. It is also a lot more fun. Life is too short to waste on regimented aerobics, spinning and step classes. Put some spice in your fitness regimen and become a Salsero!

Reduce Weight And Lose Body Fat Forever - 10 Commandments

Want to know how to reduce weight fast and lose that weight forever? Here are the Ten Commandments you need to do to reduce weight and keep body fat away permanently.

1) Cardio Exercises Do your cardio exercises frequently. These can be any exercises that work up your heart rate to the extent that you are huffing and puffing for at least 20 30 minutes. Do your cardio exercises 5-6 times a week if you want to reduce weight or 2-3 times a week for weight maintenance.

2) Build Muscles Muscles burn calories even when you are not doing anything but resting. The more muscle mass you have the more calories you will burn a day and in the course of over a period of time, the calories you burnt will add up very substantially. Building muscle mass is one sure way of losing body fat forever.

3) Eat Carbs Early Take your meals with carbs earlier in the day and cut down on carbs on later meals. This is to prevent unused carbs from turning into body fat when you sleep and to regulate insulin level.

4) Dont be too afraid of fats The fats in your diet that are bad for you are saturated and trans fat. So replace these bad fats with unsaturated fat and essential fatty acids (EFAs) and these good fats will keep your body fat and fat related diseases down. But do take your fats in moderation as after all, they are still calorie laden.

5) Complex Carbs Choose your carbs. Avoid starchy and refined carbs such as pasta, pizza, white rice and white bread. Replace them with brown rice, brown bread and high fiber carbs like green leafy vegetables.

6) Food Portion Decide how much you want to eat at each meal and then keep to it and do not eat anymore when that portion is consumed. Eat slowly to let your body signal to your brain that you are full. This usually takes about 20 minutes. Extra food means extra and calories mean extra body fat if the food is not converted to energy.

7) Avoid Canned Or Boxed Food These food are usually high in trans fat, sodium, sugar and simple carbs all of which will help you to gain weight and body fat.

8) Eat Often By eating often, say at every 3 hourly intervals, your body will think that food is abundant and therefore less likely to store body fat for emergency such as a famine. But do bear in mind to keep the portion small so as not to consume more calories than you expand.

9) Get 8 Hours Sleep Research after research has shown that people with less sleep are more prone to being fat.

10) Do Not Skip Meals Skipping meals will slow your metabolism and forcing your body to use your muscles for energy instead of your body fat. This is a vicious cycle, the less muscle you have, the more your metabolism slows down.

There you are. By committing to these 10 commandments, not only will you reduce weight but will lose your body fat forever.

Calorie Shifting - What Is It Exactly?

Calorie Shifting has become one of the hottest topics of debate in the weight loss industry. But what is Calorie Shifting and how does it work?

Calorie Shifting was developed as a solution to the barrage of what I call "Low Something Diets". You know what I mean: every where you turn is another low this and low that diet. Once it's a low fat diet, another time it's low carb or even NO carb. There are diets which proclaim that they hold the solution to your weight problems because they are low calorie diets. You get the picture.

For a while, some of these diets seemed to work. People reported an early fat loss at a good rate. It was what happened a few weeks or months down the line that was troubling: those same people who lost weight in the beginning, ended up gaining it all back and then some. It didn't happen to all of them, but the statistics state that 95% of diets fail and people end up fatter than they started.

Wondering why this happened? The reason is simple: when you deprive your body of a certain food group like carbs or drastically cut down on the amount of calories you eat, your metabolism slows down. You see, your metabolism thinks you're starving, as if you were in the wild nature, and in order to make sure that your energy deposits last as long as possible, it slows down. It's a protective mechanism which is biologically active in all of us.

The challenge was to create a system in which your metabolism will remain running high but in which you'll still lose fat fast. That's how Calorie Shifting came to be. Calorie Shifting is a way in which you constantly rotate your food thereby tricking your metabolism so it remains running high and burning a lot of fat.

Calorie Shifting works by getting you to eat the right food at specific times of the day and then by roatating it so your metabolism never gets used to any routine. The good thing is that because your metabolism keeps on running high, you don't have to dperive your body of any food groups or eat an absurdly low amount of calories. Becuase your metabolism is high all the time, you don't gain all the weight back the moment you stop being on a diet.

It is hard to get yourself to carry out the Calorie Shifting method by yourself because you need to create an expert menu which is based on this system. It is usually done by a special software. As far as I know, the only diet that uses Calorie Shifting is the Fat Loss 4 Idiots diet.

Why Boost Your Metabolism Rate To Lose Weight?

Your body requires an estimate of around 1700 calories a day to function normally. If it doesn't get there, its not normal. How does this happen? your body is like a living machine. When it realises that the calories intake isn't up to its expected level, it will slow down to cope with the rest of the systems. This essentially means that the digestion rate etc, will slow down accordingly. This includes brain and central nervous system functions.

Why do dieters always moan and groan about the lack of energy, lethargic feeling, easily exhausted and such is mainly because of not getting enough food to fuel their daily life. Their functions cannot run properly. This is a crucial mistake on most dieters part.

In addition to that, the bigger you are the more calories you'll need. Yes it is a logical equation, you add a value on the right hand side, you got to increase the same value on the left hand side. Men generally need more calories than a woman. You do the math.

Simply enough, you cannot let your body go into "Starvation mode". Don't do this, it will lead to a loss of muscles and therefore will lower your metabolism rate. This will have and overall chain effect on your body. Avoid it at all cost. Find an alternative.

The best option: Like everyone say, Be active, exercise and eat healthy. Instead of lowering calories, start burning them. It will be more effective than compared to other methods. Do not plan for an overnight weight loss plan. Slow and steady will win the race.

How To Lose 10 Pounds In 1 Week - Dieters Extreme!

If you are aiming at fast weight loss there is only one way to go. To get rid of excessive fat you will need to do 2 things. 1) You need to go on a proven fat burning diet and 2) Exercise in a way that improves the result of the diet.

Choosing diet isn't that hard. You should pursue a calorie shifting diet that will boost your metabolism into burning fat like never before. During the first cycle of dieting it is quite possible to lose 10 pounds in 7 days. The result of the diet comes from many factors and the more you initially weigh the more you will lose. This is because your insulin levels will stabilize and you will lose some water weight. Shifting calories according to a certain scheme will increase your metabolism and have it going at full speed ahead meaning that it will open up your fat cells and release a lot of the fat.

Choosing exercise program is a bit more difficult. You want to lose weight so if you do too much weight lifting you'll gain muscle and weight. On the contrary, if you do too little weight lifting you will lose muscle mass and we don't want that either.

I found that combining cardio-exercising and weight lifting was a great way. I have a free program over at my site. Look below for link. This program is built to burn fat and it burns fat all day and all night. The program should be done about 2-3 times per week. If money isn't an object you should try Turbulence Training as this is a full program.

Jennifer Olsen was a master of failing at different diets. She understood that there were more to losing weight then just going on a diet. Today she has lost nearly 50 pounds with the calorie-shifting diet and meanwhile she has finished reading 'Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle' and she is implementing what she learned into daily activities.

She made a mini-site that gives examples of diets, complete fast weight loss diets and reviews of books that helped her stop living the unhealthy life and turning around into a more healthy life-style. If you are interested in learning more please Click Here!

How Can Natural Weight Loss Plans Be Beneficial

Are you thinking about a good successful weight loss plan? Of course it makes sense to take the all natural route to losing weight with no dangerous drugs added into your routine. Is it possible to lose weight naturally and not be forced into a cruel diet plan?

You know if you have the power to lose weight. First you need to set your weight loss goals and pursue them. Losing weight is not quick, it takes time and dedication. If someone told you they lost weight quick, they aren't too understandable. It takes months to get results most people want to see. Sorry for the couch bum, it doesn't take 2-3 weeks to lose incredible amounts.

Now exercising doesn't get too much more natural. This will determine your weight loss results. If you could at least dedicate five 30 minute sessions throughout the week, you should definitely see some weight diminish. Just remember the more you stay active, the more calories you are burning which leads to less fat on your body. You would be surprised on how a little walk in the park will help you in succeeding to lose weight.

Whenever you do go about your weight loss plan, you should also think healthy, not losing fat. For one to be healthy, it will only bring on weight loss. It's like a two in one deal.

Now heres the last tip for losing weight. You should focus on dieting and weight loss supplements. They are another two in one deal that needs to be concerned. Don't fall for any of those "fat burners" that claim you just sit there and pop a pill and let the fat burn away. Those are nonsense.

When looking for a weight loss supplement, you should also go the natural route, just like you wanted your weight loss to be. When you add in those additives and man made ingredients, you are going the unhealthy route.

The weight loss supplements work hand and hand with dieting. Why? Because the natural supplements work as appetite suppressers, and fat binders. Fat binders are supplements that basically let you pass the fatty matter instead of absorbing into your body. The wonders of weight loss supplements lay in the natural plant/herb material in the capsule.

Always bring a good attitude when you want to conquer your weight. So what are you waiting for to bring in a healthier life?

My Diet Secret For Fat Burning

I'm not a "low-carb guy" by any means, but I have found something that works wonders for fat loss. And it does involve cutting back on whole-grains.

Back in December, I substituted more fruits and vegetables for any whole-grains in my diet, and I was as lean as I've been in years with this approach. So if you're trying to lose fat and look better than ever this summer, try this approach.

Here are some easy changes to make.

a) Instead of having toast for breakfast, have an apple.

b) Usually have a side of rice at lunch? Have 1 cup of broccoli.

c) Typically have a bowl of cereal at night? Have an orange and an ounce of pecans (or walnuts or almonds), instead.

Think I'm out to lunch?

Check this study ...

(For science nerds like me, here's the reference: Amer. J. Clin. Nutr. 85: 1465-1477, 2007.)

Woman on a low-fat diet that ate more fruits and vegetables lost more fat than another group of woman on only the low-fat diet.

After 1-year, the low-fat, fruits and vegetables group (LF-FV) lost more weight than another group of woman on the low-fat (LF) diet only.

Why?

The LF-FV group reported being less hungry, thanks to being able to eat more food than the LF group.

So you'll eat fewer calories if you are filling up on fruits and vegetables, while keeping un-necessary fat out of the diet.

And isn't the summer a great time to implement this program? With watermelon, berries, apples, and cherries all in great abundance, you can satisfy your sweet tooth naturally, while burning fat with the Turbulence Training fat loss workouts at home.

Cayenne Pepper Diet - Your Best Decision To Lose Weight

Recent research has shown that almost 35% of people suffer from overweight. This problem is a headache for millions of people all over the world, that's way various diets are so popular nowadays. Of course you can buy weight loss pill and than face numerous side effects, but there is another decision - natural diets, based on natural foods and supplements. In this article we will talk about cayenne pepper diet.

Cayenne pepper is one of the most powerful and beneficial herbs known to mankind, but unfortunately very few know of its efficacy. It comes from chili peppers, one of the vegetables in the nightshade (Solanaceae) family, which also includes eggplant, tomatoes, bell peppers and white potatoes. Cayenne Pepper is one of the hottest peppers on earth and that's way it is traditionally used in Mexican and Italian cooking. That's way the number of people, suffering from overweight is less in these countries.

Cayenne Pepper has little aroma, but it is extremely hot to taste. It also helps other herbs to work more effectively when taken at the same time.

Bright red color signals its high content of beta-carotene or pro-vitamin A. It is also packed full of Vitamin C, another fighter of colds and infections. These peppers can be used in a variety of herbal remedies from indigestion to high blood pressure.

So, how does cayenne pepper diet work? Basically, you should always add this pepper in any food you eat. This makes it extremely hot and this will help you to lose weight.

There is a very good food system, based not on calorie counting, but on food, which manipulates fat burning hormones in your body. It is absolutely natural diet, which will help you to lose 9lbs in 11 days. Want to know more about this diet? Visit my website below for more information.

Guaranteed Fat Loss Workouts

The battle of the bulge is created by a sedentary lifestyle and the ingestion of high calorie foods and drinks. It takes months or even years to accumulate, and unless you opt for invasive liposuction or another kind of surgery, the only way to undo the weight is through diet modification and exercise. Fortunately, there are some guaranteed fat loss workouts even the most out of shape diet hopeful may employ on the road to a slimmer, trimmer and fitter body.

First and foremost is walking. Everyone knows how to walk and if you have the power of movement, then your legs and feet are your best assets on the road to fat loss. It does not matter if you own an expensive treadmill with an incline or instead visit the gym. As a matter of fact, if you opt for neither, why not put the pooch on the leash and walk around the block. Slowly at first, but over time speeding up and maybe adding a bit of territory, before long you will walk, burn fat, build muscle, and feel better.

If you are up for more of a challenge, then one of the many cross country skiing machines will do the trick. The gliding motion of the legs requires muscle control and with the arms swinging, you are sure to get a whole body workout. This kind of exercise is especially good for the abdominal muscles and fat loss as well as muscle toning is a guaranteed result.

Another guaranteed weight loss workout is weight lifting. Granted, if you do not belong to a gym, it is hard to find some high quality weights, but do not despair! If you own a few heavy books (think Zondervan's NIV Exhaustive Concordance or Encyclopedia Britannica) you can use them to lift them just as you would weights at the gym. In the alternative, carry them with you as you walk. The increased weight requires increased energy, which or course will result in an increase in fat burn. For an even more authentic feel, purchase two bags of cat litter, and you are on your way to fat loss!

No enumeration of guaranteed fat loss workouts would be complete without mentioning the jump rope. Joints permitting, this makes for a great workout that is sure to shed some pounds and increase your stamina. Yet if your joints and ankles are unlikely to cooperate, you will find that a modified exercise of lunges and aerobics will also build stamina and may even condition your joints and ankles to such an extent as to permit future use of the jump rope.

The last fat loss workout takes places on your dining room table and involves the lifting of your knife and fork. Granted, this is not a bona fide muscle building workout, but it sure has the power to burn some fat! As a general rule, diets don't work. What does work is behavior modification. Avoid carbohydrates for dinners and focus instead on veggies and meat. If over the course of a week you eat three bags of chips, cut it down to two. If you drink one glass of water over the course of the week, increase it to three. In other words, exercise your will power to increase the healthy food choices and decrease the not so healthy ones.

5 Tips to Lose Weight the Fastest & Healthiest Way Possible

Fast, healthy weight loss is not only achievable, but it can also be long-term weight loss. Even though it took time to reach this uncomfortable weight gain, no one wants to workout and eat right and get their results slowly. Fast Weight Loss does not have to mean starving through the day, living on fluids and a single meal. Believe it or not there is a natural and healthy way to lose weight quickly and some what effortlessly.

There are 5 things that you can do to maximize your weight loss. These tips can help you lose weight quickly and in the healthiest way possible.

1) Drink Plenty of Water - I know, you heard this a thousand times. I did too, before I took it serious. Let's just remind ourselves of the benefits of drinking more water. The most important reason to drink plenty of water is because it keeps your body well hydrated. When your body is dehydrated it tends to hold onto excess water weight. the next major reason is that drinking water helps your body eliminate toxins built up in your system and encourage elimination both through the bowels and kidneys.

2) Add More Fiber - It's not necessary to take a fiber supplement in order to add more fiber to your diet. There are some great foods that have a high fiber content that should be a part of your daily diet. Some of them are: Apples (5g), bran cereals (8g), whole wheat bread (4g per slice), grapefruit (6g), 1 cup broccoli(6g). These are just a few choices. It's recommended that you get at least 25-30 grams of fiber a day, so if you have 2 apples, 1 bowel of bran cereal(raisin bran is good choice), 2 slices of whole wheat bread and 1 cup of broccoli, you've covered your daily requirement.

3) Eat 5-6 times a day waiting 3 hours before meals - You can turn your metabolism into a fuel burning furnace by eating frequently during the day. 5- 6 mini meals during the day will keep your metabolism high. This technique signals your metabolism and telling it that there is fuel constantly coming in ready to be burned (which is true). So your metabolism burns what comes in and some of the stored energy just to keep up and make room for the constant supply of food.

I remember when I learned this little trick, I was surprised to see just how fast I dropped pounds. It's nice to know that you are actually allowed to "eat" while losing weight.

4) Completely eliminate or at least drastically reduce the sugar - Sugar is one of the most over looked cause of weight gain. Don't be misled by the fact that it doesn't contain fat. Sugar can cause a huge spike in your insulin production which can shut down your fat burning capacity and keeps it low which will promote fat storage.

5) Supplements to add to your daily diet - Add Enzymes, a good Multi-vitamin, and Green Tea to your daily diet. Adding Enzymes to your diet can improve your digestion and make sure that you have maximum absorption of nutrients in your food.

Taking a good multivitamin will make sure you get all of the essential vitamins and minerals that help regulate and support the function of key organs such as liver, kidneys and heart.

Green Tea is a superior tea because it contains polyphenols which inhibits the growth of cancer cells. This tea also lowers cholesterol, gives you energy and helps suppress appetite. All without the usual side effects of other diet stimulants.

Applying the 5 tips can help kick your fat burning weight losing furnace into overdrive. Making you lose the weight a lot quicker and get lean a lot sooner.
