Weight Loss - The Mental Process by westgroup

When you go on a diet and decide you want to lose some weight, most people think "I'll stop eating so much, maybe do a bit of exercise and be my ideal weight in just a few days". Sadly, these people end up disappointed and usually heavier than when they started.Dieting is not just a physical process but a mental one too.

If you do not have the mental processes right then your diet will be a struggle and possibly fail. By having the right mental approach and being in control of your brain you can turbo charge your way to your ideal weight.

So how do you get in control of your brain then?Before I reveal that, you need to know that you are made up of two parts. You have your conscious mind, which is your ego - the part that chatters on all day. Then you have your sub-conscious, which is the part that grows your hair, your nails, pumps blood around your body and so on.This is a very powerful thing to know, because most people fail in their diets because they do not have the sub-conscious mind working with them, and so it sabotages their efforts. Consciously you want to lose weight, but sub-consciously you enjoy the extra weight for various reasons, e.g. security, lack of attention from the opposite sex, etc.The first step in making any change is awareness.

This means you become aware of the way your brain works and how you think about yourself and weight loss.For example, lots of people will say, "I'm struggling to lose weight" or "I hate dieting" or something along those lines.The words you use program your sub-conscious mind. When you say things like this you are giving a strong message to your subconscious mind which takes it all on board.The same if you say, "Why can't I lose weight?" or "Why am I always eating so much?" or anything like this your sub-conscious mind will give you the answers and tell you why! And how will that make you feel - not so good I imagine!Being in control of your mind means being in control of what it says to you - it doesn't operate on its own doing what it wants, it operates in a pattern that it has learnt over the years from you. And the nice thing is, this habit - you can change it!So the first step is to become aware of what you say to yourself when you talk about your dieting and weight.

What do you say? Think about this now ...Is it positive and encouraging? Or is it not?Over the next week, listen to how you talk to yourself about your weight, your appearance and your diet. Now you are more aware of what you are saying to yourself about dieting and losing weight, you can start to reprogram yourself and get rid of those patterns.

When you hear yourself say something that is discouraging or negative about yourself stop yourself immediately and change it into something positive and encouraging - something that makes you feel good.When you start doing this you will soon notice that your diet becomes so much easier and the weight disappears!

Weight Loss Tablets - Insider Tips by segura

One common mistake most dieters make is involves intake. It is not that they are taking in too much.

In this case they are not ingesting enough. Water is crucial to any diet plan but it seems to be nearly impossible to get the suggested 64-ounces of water each day. Somehow, though dieters dont seem to have a problem taking in flavored drinks by the gallon. They also seem to have a problem taking their weightloss tablets as well.Anyone who is on the go (which is everyone in todays society) knows how difficult it is to remember everything we have to do in the morning. This includes taking our vitamins and our weightloss tablets.

This forgetfulness can be a real detriment to any diet plan that requires a lot of will power. There are those that argue that there is no such thing as will power. We have the ability to turn the cheesecake away with a smile for only so long. Sooner or later the temptation gets the better of us especially after spending weeks and weeks adhering to a diet. We often feel denied and tend to give in to tempting treats unless we use weightloss tablets to control the urge. The weightloss tablets are will power for many dieters.Also, the water issue preys on dieters who are simply sick of drinking the bland beverage that gives our mouths little or no feedback. Many of us want a little spice or a little flavor especially if we feel denied in our everyday diets. The quest for taste can be a powerful motivator and it can be the beginning of a binge.

The makers of Dexatrim have come up with a valuable solution to the water intake problem and the problem of forgetting our very important weightloss tablets. Dexatrim Max2O tablets dissolve in a glass of water. The product is ephedra free and it contains green tea.

The weightloss tablets also boast great flavor as well which is a real motivator for the water-hating community of dieters.The benefit of the product is that it is very easy to use and it can be taken anywhere there is water. You simply drop the weightloss tablets into water and watch the bubbles. They work a lot like Alka Seltzer but with great taste. They also suppress the appetite and help you feel satisfied. These weightloss tablets are the wave of the dieting future.

weight loss,It sounds so simple but yet it's very hard to do if you don't have the right tools. Sure someone telling you to eat right and exercise. Sounds easy but when you get on the scale and you see a slight change or don't see anything at all, it gets frustrating.Eating right is something that takes practice and time. If it wasn't for this website I don't know how else I would have learned.

That's why I want to pass along this information. Life gets so hectic and you reach for the easy way and it puts pounds on your body. We all know the big do's and don't's. Fast food is a big NO. Processed food is a big NO. Now what are you left with, vegetables and meat.

weight loss Sounds simple but I found it was a little difficult until I learned from my mistakes.Choosing your meat is very simple. Lean cuts of meat are the best. You can find them at any store or butcher.

Chicken is your best choice and add in your weekly menu sirloin steak and pork. Stay away from ground meats unless you can get the 95% lean ones or mix ground turkey or pork with ground meat. It lowers the fat calories. Now just portion the meat to about 3 oz or make a fist and that is the size the piece of meat should be.

After you do this many times it gets easier. You can cook this anyway you would like except frying. I'll give you an example.A great way of making chicken tenders without all the fat, which is my families favorite. Take frozen then thawed or fresh chicken and cut into stripes. You want to bread them. So use egg white and a little water in one bowl and use dried parsley, pepper and oat bran in the next bowl. Take your chicken, coat in the egg and then the oat bran mix. Place on a cookie sheet and bake in the oven.

They taste fantastic. They are my easy way to get my children to eat healthy.Now vegetables should be very easy if you have a produce store by you. Try and always buy fresh vegetables. Canned are ok but watch the calories and salt. Take for example: green beans, only 20 calories but 380 mg in sodium. I've learned to look at the big picture of all the nutrition facts versus just the fat and calories. That is one mistake I was making. Life does take over and you don't have time to start from scratch. I have a few tips I've been doing. Go to your produce store on a day you have about 2 hours. Buy many different vegetables in large quantities. Make sure it's things you can cook and freeze.

Like onions, green/wax beans, carrots, you get the picture. Keep in mind this is just one pot. Cut and boil the green/wax beans then place in a bowl full of ice and cold water. This keeps the green color and stops then from cooking anymore. When fully cooled, dry and place in a freezer bag. It takes a good hour or two to get everything cut up, cooked and bagged. During the week for dinner take out veggies from freezer, pop in the microwave and add slivers of almonds. Now your fresh vegetables will be done in the same time it took to cook your meat without going to the store.

Another tip is just cut green/yellow/orange/red peppers or onions and place in a freezer bag. They are not good for a salad but they are great to add to your meal. I've used them in sauces or to top off a great piece of sirloin. When in a pinch and you have no fresh vegetables, you can use canned. But rinse the vegetables before cooking and you can reduce some of the sodium.Exercise. I'm still finding time to do this but get in a routine and it gets easier.

Here are a few tips. I was under the assumption that you need to have a full hour to workout or exercise. If you are able to take 15 minutes here and 15 minutes there, before you know it you worked out an hour.There are exercises you can do while you are working. Take heavy books in each hand and lift at your side in your chair. Suck in your tummy and then push it out. Use your 15 minute break to walk around the building or neighborhood. Park further away when working/shopping, keep in mind daylight savings time. Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Now some of these depend on where you work. So keep this in mind when picking each 15 minute workout.

I hope you have found this article helpful. I hope I have been able to show you a different way of looking at healthy eating and exercise. Thank you for taking the time to read my article.

Can I Reduce my Weight without Spending Time Exercising? by gareth black

Most certainly. Many people are doing it successfully. But many more are losing weight faster by undergoing plenty of exercise for weight loss.There's nothing complicated or difficult about losing weight. It's about dedicating a mind-set in order to reach an objective.
It's all about setting personal goals and then attempting to achieve them. It's about the satisfaction of not only shedding unwanted pounds, but also of reaching a personal target. And then progressing from there.So how can a person lose weight without spending time exercising? OK, lets start at the beginning. People with a weight problem know the need to eat a low-calorie diet free from fats, salt and excessive amounts of sugar to achieve weight loss. They also know that regular physical exercise speeds up this process.

By 'exercise' these people may be involved in nothing more than a walk in the park, or a jog around the block. For the more energetically minded then half an hour in the swimming pool or on a squash court would be sufficient.But for some people with a weight issue, a period in the day devoted to exercise isn't possible. The problem is not the effort involved, it's the time taken up. Today, many people are 'time-poor'. They cannot devote enough time to a regular, daily period of exercises. However much they would like to take a walk or a jog, family and work pressures don't allow. But there are ways in which they can get more exercise.Whether we know it or not, we engage in physical activity during the course of a day.

Walking around the home or the work place involves 'exercise'. Every physical activity is exercise and prolonging that activity results in more exercise. So all a person has to do is think of ways in which activity can be extended. Spend an extra ten minutes taking the dog for a walk; park the car as far away from work as possible; use the stairs instead of the elevator; get off the bus a stop earlier and walk the rest of the way; walk to work; take a stroll at lunch time; there's a million ways of extending a period of activity, without devoting a length of time specifically to exercises.

For people who are not 'time-poor' such as seniors or people who work from home, then lack of time may not be a limitation on their exercise activities. These people are able to enjoy the time they can devote to exercise as well as the additional benefits, other than weight loss, that this brings. Being physically fit goes a long way towards giving an older person a much more vigorous and rewarding life style.

Weight Loss With Hypnosis by nancy ho

Being Over-weightOver-weight people store an amount of fat which is not necessary for survival. Being over-weight is not necessarily being obese, but obesity is an extreme case of being over-weight. As we age, we tend to eat the same amount of food that we ate when we were more active, and we are also less able to do the same activities.

This produces the weight gain that most adults see when they age every ten years.The amount of over-weightness can be measured by the Body Mass Index (BMI). This number basically tells us if we have just enough fat to be healthy or if we have too much excess fat. A normal or healthy range for your BMI should be 18.5 to 25.Someone who is over-weight tends to have a BMI in the range 25 to 30. An obese person has a very high BMI, usually above 30.

Anything above 40 is dangerously high and the person runs the risk of premature death.Some people may have a fat gene which predisposes them to store more fat than others. However, having a gene does not excuse a person from poor eating habits. People who are overweight tend to have poor eating habits, such as irregular meals, undisciplined fasting. These patterns of eating were never meant to be imposed on our bodies. Such people also tend to neglect exercise.

The Health RisksAs countries become more affluent the incidence of obesity and over-weight people has increased, and this is not without its risks. Some of the increased health risks associated with being over-weight are:- heart disease - type 2 diabetes - back trouble - joint problems - osteo-arthritis - premature death - a higher incidence of cancer - skin problems (such as stretched skin and scars) and the list goes on.ExerciseWhen we exercise our bodies produce and strengthen muscle tissue.

The overall result of exercise is that we feel better, healthier and stronger. This feeling occurs not just in the mind; it is an actual physical consequence of exercise. It is a well-known fact that exercise causes the body to produce the feel-good endorphins, which are directly related to weight control. Higher levels of endorphins in our bodies actually reduce our craving for sugar.Perhaps the most important benefit we get out of exercise is a healthier heart. A healthier and stronger heart is more efficient and makes better use of oxygen. People with stronger than average hearts are more likely to survive major surgery or falling into freezing waters.A person who exercises regularly and naturally controls her weight. Her body immediately burns whatever calories she has eaten recently, but also burns fat for sometime after the exercise stops. Such a person cannot get fat if she eats a healthy balanced diet.

Weight ControlWhen we want to control our weight what we really want to see is ourselves slim, healthy, agile and active as we once were. To achieve that vision we will have to burning up the energy stored in the excess fat on our body.
However, we need to control weight carefully and with insight. We can’t just stop eating or radically reduce our sugar and starch intake because we can’t burn fat as readily. We also can’t reduce the necessary vitamins, minerals, enzymes and so on that are so essential to re-generating our body without causing harm to our bodies.

There are many effective supplements that can aid weight loss, but some of these have side effects which are harmful to health. For instance, Ma Huang has been used for a long time in Chinese herbal medicine to aid slimming, but its abuse led to being withdrawn on markets. When taken excessively Ma Huang causes palpitations because it contains ephedrine. Other miracle supplements include a compound called hydrocitric acid (HCA) which reduces appetite and increases fat burning.No magic pill can cause our bodies to always burn up the fat we don’t want. Supplements can aid weight control but they cannot replace the need for proper diet and exercise. Weight can only be controlled safely and effectively through a long term diet and exercise plan, but it takes great effort and discipline because we have to contend with the incessant chatter in our minds.Permanent weight control requires us to change our eating habits and our reaction to foods. When we trade away our health for the convenience of snacks, quick sugar fixes and so on, we are bringing ourselves closer to major illness.

It takes a lot to control what we eat when we have been habitually sloppy with what we eat.The biggest obstacle to successful weight control is the emotions we attach to food. We derive great pleasure out of what we eat, and there is no stopping a person from going back to eating fattening foods even if she succeeds in reducing weight.Set Your Weight Management GoalsBefore you achieve any measure of success in weight management you have to set your goals, and all you need are three goals, which are to have and maintain:- a proper healthy diet - a regular exercise plan - a target weight to maintain You should aim at eating healthy food at regular meals throughout the day, exercising regularly and achieving your desired target weight. Plan your daily regimen, and then go and do it. To aid you’re your execution there are a couple of ways you can do this – self-affirmations and hypnotherapy.Self-affirmations require some time for you to “get into the groove”, and it does take a lot of will-power and effort to make it work. That is mainly due to the fact that it is taking place at the conscious which has that filtering analysing effect. Most of the affirmations will end up hitting a brick wall due to this behaviour of the mind.Hypnotherapy and Weight ControlA more effective approach to weight control is through Hypnotherapy.
Permanent changes are needed in your attitudes and mindset, which can only take place in the sub-conscious where our emotions lie. T
his is why Hypnotherapy is a very effect aid to weight control.Before we begin to use Hypnotherapy we need to have our three goals clearly laid out before us. We should see ourselves achieving these three goals and then program this into our sub-conscious. There are self-hypnosis weight control audios and CDs on sale on the Internet that can be effective, and you can try them out.Or you could consult a qualified Hypnotherapist and discuss you weight control goals, and get her to help you through Hypnotherapy.

If you are open to Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy you can achieve very good results by working with a Hypnotherapist.

Effecticve Diet Pills for weight loss treatment By: Shaily brown

diet pilss are like anchors to help you keep up with the demanding pressures of dieting and exercising. Diet pills fasten the weight loss process and you can reach your goal easily without much difficulty.There are many prescription and non-prescription slimming pills in the market. Most people dread just the name of prescription slimming pills because of the nasty side effects which come along with them.These people have no other option but to go for natural or herbal diet pills.
An important point to be made here is that the safety and efficacy of herbal diet pills are not clinically proven, so whether these diet pills will work for you or not is unknown.However, the increasing numbers of reports in favour of herbal diet pills are making them receive encouraging public attention. Demand for herbal diet pills has escalated like never before and there are people who achieve amazing results on taking them. But as every coin has two sides, there are also people who despise slimming pills.

There are many low-priced slimming pills online which don’t work; people who buy such pills are in for a big disappointment. And such fake diet pills create a bad name for all the pills in general.So for your best interests, you should go for safe and genuine slimming pills from an equally safe and genuine website. Don’t get lulled by low-priced slimming pills and buy genuine slimming pills which are worth your every cent.One safe, genuine and proven herbal diet pill is Hoodia gordonii. These herbal diet pills have changed the way people look at herbal or natural slimming pills. Many people who tried them just for the heck of it or to prove that these pills are nothing else but hoax are now firm believers of these pills.When Hoodia gordonii came around, there were many sceptical people who didn’t believe that it worked.

In fact, one BBC correspondent went all the way to Kalahari Desert to find out about Hoodia gordonii. A total disbeliever of Hoodia gordonii when we went, he came back a more trusting man.Hoodia gordonii pills are not cheap or rip-off herbal diet pills. The safety and efficacy of these diet pills are researched in two clinical tests. So you can buy Hoodia gordonii without hesitation but remember to buy it from a safe and reputed website.Also don’t give up physical exercises just because you have something as wonderful as Hoodia gordonii!

Your metabolism is influenced by your age , your sex and proportion of lean body mass (the more muscle you have, the higher your metabolic rate tends to be).
Here are some tips on how to boost metabolism

1)Build lean body mass.

2) Get moving.

4) Ditch the sugar.

5) Dont skip breakfast.

6) Include hot foods.

7) Drink green tea.

8)Water Cold water may also give your metabolism at least a small boost because energy is required to heat the body.

How to Safely Lose Weight by Andy G. Cooper

The Most Successful Way To Lose Fat And Weight - And How To Keep It Off by Steve R Robbins

Any weight loss plan, to be successful long term, should be done gradually, and, depending on the amount of loss needed, under a doctor's care. Having said that, MOST people could stand to lose 10% of their total current weight, and that can be done safely, and surprisingly, fairly easily, totally on their own. I've done it. Here's how.

The absolute first and most critical step is to adopt "responsibility, accountability and consequence". There are predispositions for body shape, a genetic plan for you. I can not be 7 feet tall. Maybe you can not have a 30 inch waist as a man or wear a size 2 as a woman. But I can stand with better posture, wear heels and be taller than I am. And you (and me) can be thinner than we are. Whatever that is. What you eat, how much, and what you do activity wise determines your WEIGHT. NOTHING ELSE. Accept that, BELIEVE that, and you can lose weight.

Calories in, calories out. It is that simple. A pound of weight is 3500 calories of intake that exceeds your needs. Consume 3500 calories less than you need and you will lose a pound. How to eat 3500 less than you need is the trick. Use both sides of the equation. Eat less, need more. I have done three simple life style changes to help me consume fewer calories.
First, reduce caloric drinks. I would rather eat my calories than drink them.

Second, reduce bread, potato, pasta and rice consumption. Not eliminate (unless fat loss is the goal), but center every meal around vegetables and protein.
Lastly, anything I can reach into a bag or bowl and grab to snack on is no where near me. That's it.

How can you make your body need more calories? Increase activity level is one way. But not the best. While you are doing anything more physical than resting, your body is consuming more calories than it would otherwise. If this happens to be a cardiovascular workout, even better (makes for a healthier heart they say). Contrary to what you may think though, you can't burn THAT many more calories doing cardio exercises.

But it helps and you should do it (remember that healthy heart thing). The BEST way to burn more calories is to have more muscle. Two men, same weight, one with 10% body fat, the other with 25%, the more lean muscular man will burn 10-15% more calories 24 hours a day just living. That translates into 250-375 MORE calories he can eat every day and NOT GAIN WEIGHT.
Your metabolism rises after any workout. But within 2 hours of a cardio session it's back to normal. After a weight training session it stays elevated for 24 hours.
Muscle mass requires 50 more calories per pound (should be protein) to exist on your body than fat.
To get the full benefit of weight loss, incorporate muscle building into your plan at some point. The people you see walking around with bodies you wish you had, were not born that way. They have CHOSEN to look that way. Responsibility, accountability and consequence.

Has the distinction of being able to run a marathon and bench press twice his weight in the same day. All at the age of 50.

How to Lose 20 Pounds in 2 Weeks - the 3 Big Mistakes That Make Weight Loss a Frustrating Struggle By Jennifer Jolan

If you want to know how to lose 20 pounds in 2 weeks, then you must first know the 3 big mistakes people make when trying to lose weight fast. I'm sure you know the common ones like "don't starve yourself, not drinking enough water, etc"... so I'll skip those and give you mistakes you probably haven't heard of before.

Just remember 1 thing before I continue, to lose 20 pounds in a short time ISN'T EASY. There is no "easy button"... but it is possible if you avoid some mistakes.

How to Lose 20 Pounds in 2 Weeks - Mistakes

1. Eating a lot then trying to "make up for it" on the next meal

Uh... NO. You'll actually make weight loss harder if you eat a lot for a meal then the very next meal you don't eat enough. What this does is it screws up your metabolism. That's why starvation type diets don't really work over the long run. You'll lose weight at first, but your body comes back with a vengeance because it's in "SURVIVAL MODE".
When that happens, it'll retain extra fat to help you "survive". So NEVER try to make up for eating too much

2. Having too much stress or not enough sleep

Listen, it's not all JUST ABOUT calories, exercise, and diet. Other factors play a big role in your ability to lose weight. I could put you on the same diet and same exercise routine and 1 time you'll lose 10 pounds on it and the other time you will gain 10 pounds on it.
What happened?
Something other than diet, calories, and exercise is what happened. And 2 of the bigger reasons are too much stress and not enough sleep.
Just accept the fact that if you want to have long term success with weight loss you'll need to get enough sleep and find a way to lower your stress levels. Deep breathing and exercise both help for stress. The supplement ZMA helps for sleep.

3. Not using the power of apples

Apples are a serious weight loss food. People tend to overlook the obvious and the simple solutions in favor of more expensive and complicated solutions.
Don't you be one of them.

Here's a simple tip to lose 2+ pounds a month (not much, but hey, take them where you can)... eat 3 apples a day, everyday. Basically, I can't think why a person who is serious about weight loss wouldn't do this!

I guess you can consider it a test of how bad you really want to lose weight.
Listen, to lose 20 pounds in 2 weeks is hard... that's a lofty goal. But it is possible... and a good start is to NOT make the above mistakes.

Healthy Weight Loss For Unhealthy People By Ben Pitchellis

The most important fact about losing weight the healthy way is believing in yourself. Second is proving it to yourself.

Prove It!

To obtain healthy weight loss, you have to start with a healthy lifestyle. Exercise is key to that lifestyle. As small as parking farther from the door at the grocery store may be, it is a big step in proving to yourself that you have what it takes to help your weight loss goal. Some people may not be able to afford a gym membership. Invite a friend or even your spouse to walk around the neighborhood during the evenings. The small things you do will be big strides in maintaining your healthy weight loss.

Healthy weight loss needs to start by detoxing your body and filling it with the healthy ingredients that are vital for your body to function correctly. Your body stores toxins and makes it harder to run properly. Getting rid of those toxins will help your body change and produce better results. You will notice the change as you detox and nourish your body with the right ingredients. You need a way to detox your body. Wrap away your toxins. Start over with a toxin free body. This is an alternative to your healthy weight loss approach.

Changing your eating habits is the last and maybe most important step to healthy weight loss. Remember, you are what you eat! Do you really want to be that fat overweight fast food burger, or rather that lean piece of home grilled chicken? If you continue to eat healthy, your body will produce healthy results. Take your vitamins, eat your vegetables, exercise, and stay away from fatty fast foods. This is the best way to obtain healthy weight loss.
Good luck.

BMI and What it Means to You By Contessa Rodgers

Body Mass Index has been used around the world by doctors, nurses and all other types of healthcare individuals to check to see if you are overweight or obese. In fact recent clinical findings show that almost a quarter of all adults are obese. Obviously, we all know the risks of being obese that we develop heart disease, strokes, diabetes and all manner of other problems like wear and tear on the joints, low self-esteem, depression etc. And, lets be honest, it looks disgusting. We want to be fit and healthy, look good, feel good and enjoy our lives.

So what can BMI or body mass index do for us?

First, we must understand that although BMI does a good job of telling us if a person is obese or overweight, it does not take into account a person's body fat content.

How to calculate BMI Calculating your BMI is done by dividing your weight (measured in kilograms) by your heigh (measured in metres squared) and then classified as follows:
If your BMI is under 18.5, you are considered underweight (so that's none of us reading this, right?!)

If you fall between 18.5 and 25, you are at your ideal weight range - concentrate on toning and firming your muscles, but not necessarily on dieting. Of course, still eat healthily!
Between 25 and 30 BMI is overweight and you should get yourself on a diet and exercise plan. If you have a BMI of between 30 and 40, you are obese and you must do something about your weight.

A BMI of over 40 is very obese and it is critical to lose excess weight or face lifelong health problems.
Times when BMI might be inaccurate are when you are an athlete or very muscular. And obviously if you are pregnant, BMI is never going to be accurate.

Run. Jump. Walk. Lift weights. Yoga. Bicycle. All of these are excellent ways to slim down before your vacation. Everyone want that perfect body for trips to the beach. Exercise is a must if you want to slim down.

Think before you act.

All of these are great questions to ask on your way to slimming down before your vacation. What are your goals? What are your hobbies? The more you want to slim down, the more physical you want your exercise to be. If you only want to slim down a few sizes and not have to over do it, then take a walk on your lunch break and walk Fido when you get home.

Are You Desperate to Lose Weight Fast? by Patrick F walsh


If you are desperate to lose weight fast, please continue to read this article. The information I provide will be very beneficial.

Eat More Often

Changing your eating habits is a huge part of losing weight fast. Here is a few ideas for you to check out. Watch the portion size of your meals. Most restaurants have portions that are large enough for two people. Try eating five to six smaller meals per day which will keep your metabolism high, and this will make it easier for your body to burn calories. Eat less sugar along with less sweets. Fruits and vegetables are a great substitute for junk food. Follow this eating plan and you will no longer be desperate to lose weight fast!

Exercise At Least Thirty Minutes A Day

Exercise is essential in your quest to lose weight fast. Try to get at least thirty minutes a day of cardiovascular exercise per day. It can be as simple as taking a brisk walk, jog, or bike ride. Make time for strength training a couple times a week because muscle burns calories. A log book to track your progress can be very helpful.

Detoxify Your Toxic System

Detox is one of the most important steps in losing weight fast. Hydration plays a key role in shedding fat. So be sure to drink plenty of water (at least 64oz per day). Another great way to get rid of these toxins are fiber supplements and body wraps. I highly recommend using these items to cleanse your system of impurities and allow your system to function as God intended. If you follow the advice I've given you in this article, I can assure you will no longer be desperate to lose weight fast.

Quick Ways to Lose Weight - the "Belly Shock" Method For Women in a Hurry to Lose 8 Pounds by jennifer jolan

Here are quick ways to lose weight using the "Belly Shock" Method. This method allows women who can't get to the gym often... or who just hate the gym... to lose weight fast. It's totally possible to lose 8 pounds in 10 days following this method. Read on to find out more.

Quick Ways to Lose Weight - "Belly Shock"

You need to combine multiple ways to shock your belly fat... diet, supplements, and cardio. Here is 1 of each that will force your belly fat to disappear.

1. Supplement - Extra Virgin Coconut Oil

Using this alone, a lot of my clients lose 5-8 pounds in 10-13 days. Not all of them do lose weight using this, but a high percentage do. It's worth a try since extra virgin coconut oil only costs about $12 for a jar.
The jar will last you the whole 10-13 days.
What you do is take 1 tablespoon of extra virgin coconut oil 2 times a day on an empty stomach between meals. I prefer you to do this between breakfast and lunch... and lunch and dinner.
That's it. The "healthy fats" in the coconut oil will do the rest.
Be sure the label says "extra virgin' on it. You don't want the regular coconut oil.

2. Diet - Eat 1 can of black beans and 1 pound of broccoli/cauliflower each day

These are "BULK" foods with plenty of fiber... and they're cheap. They fill you up so you won't go hungry, while providing you VERY FEW calories. The fiber is key here.
I recommend you eat 1/2 can of black beans at breakfast and 1/2 at lunch. For the broccoli/cauliflower, I recommend you eat 1/2 of a frozen bag at lunch and half at dinner.
You probably aren't too happy about this choice, but if you were to do it 1-2 days... you'll see the incredible weight loss effects it'll have for you.


3. Exercise - 5 minute Hindu Squat

For this to work good, you need to squat fast. No weights are involved... just your body. Basically, you pump out as many squats as you can in 5 minutes. Try to do this non-stop or rest very shortly (15 seconds after every 15 squats).
The ideal goal... 100 or more squats in 5 minutes.
This is a tough exercise when done correctly. But it peels off body fat FAST. Push yourself. You need to fight for this weight loss... don't just give up. Don't let your fat win.
This "Belly Shock" Method gives you some quick ways to lose weight... a blitz to lose 8 pounds in 10 days.

Lose Weight Quickly - How to Lose Weight Quickly by Brandon Walsh

Slow Down. One of the best ways to lose weight quickly is to take your time - when you're eating, that is! The hungry feeling you have when you sit down will go away once you've eaten enough; however, it may take up to 20 minutes for your body to get the message. The longer it takes you to polish off a couple pieces of pizza, the quicker you will feel full. Instead of thinking about the next bite, focus on each bite. Don't load your fork while you chew; lay it down or keep it empty until you are ready for the next bite. This will help you eat slower and feel full faster.

Take Smaller Portions. It's a known fact that most people eat far too much because they have filled their plate. How often have we heard the phrase about one's eyes being bigger than one's stomach? If you want to know how to lose weight quickly, this is a dieting key. Try taking a little less food than you think you will eat. You can always go back for more, if you really need it. It's much harder to pass up food that is already on your plate, tempting you.

Eat Lots of Vegetables. While everyone has a few veggies they'd rather not touch with a ten-foot pole, there are many options for the hesitant vegetable-eater. All leafy greens are good for you, especially when you're on a diet. Looking at the variety of vegetables available can help you as you discover how to lose weight quickly. Try a vegetable you've never had before, and use the diet as a jumping-off place for food exploration. You'll have fun and may discover a new favorite veggie dish!

Focus On the End Result. Don't get in a rush to lose 15 pounds a week; you'll end up losing muscle mass instead of fat. This makes you more likely to gain the weight back, with interest! Keep your goal weight in mind and move steadily toward it. Although it's easy to stray from a diet, don't let slip-ups distract you. Just get back on track and think about your goal. Don't brood about what you feel you are missing; after a few weeks of healthy eating, you'll never want to go back. This is an important step as you teach yourself how to lose weight quickly.

Learning how to lose weight quickly is a habit, rather than a learning process. In many ways, losing weight quickly is just a matter of common sense coupled with a little bit of research and will power.

Looking to lose weight quickly? Or do you just need to lose your fat belly? Either way, these totally free resources will help you greatly.

Burn Stomach Fat the Lazy Way - How to Reduce Stomach Flab While Lying in Your Bed by Jennifer Jolan

Here's how to burn stomach fat the lazy way. Basically, I'm going to show you how to reduce stomach flab while you lie on your bed. Only takes a few minutes a day too. It's easy, quick, and you can do it while you watch tv. You don't have an excuse to NOT do these!
How to Reduce Stomach Flab


1. The "hot hands" belly rub

This is what you do...
Rub your hands together. Do this for 25 seconds or whatever. Just create some kinetic heat on them. Then, while you lie down on your bed, rub circles around your belly button. Do this for 20-30 seconds.
Then stop... rub your hands together for another 10 seconds... and repeat. Do this for a total of 2-3 minutes, twice a day for best results.
Once in the morning and once at night.
The theory behind why this works... the heat from your hands basically burn off fat cells in your stomach. The heat passes directly past your skin and into the fat cells.
The heat basically burns them alive. They don't like heat. Now, it'll take some time to get rid of all the fat cells doing this, but repeated exposure to this type of heat will eliminate and burn the stomach fat out.


2. The isometric ab squeeze

This helps to flatten your abs. What you do is tighten up your abs and squeeze them together. As hard as you can. Then hold for as long as you can.
Release, rest a few seconds, then repeat. This also can be done while lying on your bed. I suggest you do it for 3-6 minutes a day, depending on how quickly you want to solve your belly fat problem.
If you want to burn stomach fat without having to do much of anything, I can't think of a better way to reduce stomach flab as fast and easy as with these 2 technique

Fast Weight Loss Tips! by Jennifer Jolan

Here are some fast weight loss tips that will get your weight loss progress on track. If you're at a plateau, use these tips to get around it. WARNING: If you think weight loss only involved dieting and exercise, then this article may surprise you a bit.

Fast Weight Loss Tips

1. Eat apples and low calorie yogurts as snacks

You get few calories, but lots of fiber with apples. With the yogurts, you get few calories but a good amount of protein. Perfect snacks. Heck, you can eat each of them 3 times a day and you'll be on the fast track for weight loss.

2. Spin

This doesn't really burn calories, so why does it work for weight loss. Well, because most overweight people have hormones that aren't in harmony with their bodies. When this imbalance happens, weight loss is not only messed up for the short term, but it's all but impossible over the long term.
Spinning stimulates the Endoncrine System. Through that, it brings a balance to your hormones. So spin like you did when you were a little kid.
3. Avoid medications

ANY MEDICATIONS! Over-the-counter or prescription, it doesn't matter. They mess with your hormones. See above on why you don't want that to happen. Birth control and cholesterol drugs are the biggest culprits.
4. Sleep more

Research over and over again keeps proving that people who don't get enough sleep get fat. This mostly has to do with higher cortisol levels in them due to the lack of sleep. GET YOUR SLEEP!
Listen, this is an incomplete list. I know that. But these 4 tips can and will help you if you're having problems losing weight. So use these fast weight loss tips and reap the benefits.

If you're SICK and TIRED of getting the same old boring weight loss advice... you know, like "Eat more fruits and vegetables, drink 8 glasses of water, jog, and blah blah blah", then...

Watch What You Eat

Watch what you eat and when you eat. Make a habit of trying to eat five to six meals in smaller portions. This will keep your metabolism where it needs to be, and make losing weight much easier.

Exercise is a crucial ingredient in losing stomach fat. A balance of strength training and some aerobics is a great way to shed some unwanted pounds.Start slow and work your way up. Try to go for five extra minutes a day to keep that heart rate up. Shoot for thirty minutes per day, three to four times a week. Exercise along with a healthy diet will always provide fantastic results.

Detox

Detox could be the most crucial of these steps. Remember to drink lots of water - I can't stress this enough. You must rid your body of these toxins. And, as a great supplement, be sure to detox with fiber and body wraps.Use these religiously for the very best results.
If losing stomach fat interests you, implement these three steps, and you will have a happier person looking back at you in the mirror in no time. Just remember nothing good can be carried out without a game plan, and now you have one.
