Every year is the same old resolution. You are going to eat better, exercise more, and lose weight. Usually only lasts about two months, if that, and you are back to the same old routine. I know, I have been there many times!
Natural weight loss is just plain hard to do. But, it is possible. And, it is the most effective way to lose weight. There are so many diets and drugs for you to try. Some people actually need to have the drugs due to health issues. But, even these people must follow some type of eating and exercise plan. Diets are a temporary solution. If a diet does help you lose those extra pounds, and the weight stays off for more than a year, it is not the diet working. It is that your lifestyle has changed.
Diets, journaling, and watching those calories are actually a helpful tool to begin a lifestyle change without even realizing that is what you are doing! For example, when you are watching your calories or counting those points, you usually have to make a choice. Should you go for the candy bar at 350 calories or have a smaller treat and much more food for the same amount of calories? This is the beginning of a lifestyle change. Making choices is an important part of your lifestyle change.
Making the choice to exercise is also very important to a healthy weight loss. You do not have to go to the gym every night for an hour. As long as you can fit some time in, as little as 30 aerobic minutes three times a week, this will help you lose the weight and increase your energy level. Get creative! Dance to your favorite CD, go for a walk, take up a new FUN sport, or just run around with your kids or pets. Increasing your metabolism helps increase your energy level. This will help you get to your goal weight sooner. Remember to always warm up and cool down! The more exercise you can fit in, the more calories you will burn. And, you will feel so much happier and healthier!
Watch your beverages! Those are where the calories sneak in! Carbonated beverages made with sugar contain about 150 calories per 12 ounces. Coffee contains 2 to 3 grams of fat per 6 ounces. Diet beverages may seem to be the route to go, but recent studies have shown that diet soda can lead to an increase of snack food intake. You are not getting your sugar fix with a diet soda! Drink as much water as you can! Often, people mistake feelings of thirst for feelings of hunger. Studies show drinking 6 to 8 glasses of water a day can help cut down on hunger urges. Drinking more water will help your entire system! Drinking water provides a feeling of fullness, and helps the body to more efficiently use stored fat.
Effective weight loss is important to your health and self-esteem. It is a challenge to lose the weight and keep it off. Many times, people feel as if they have failed themselves when they revert back into their old habits. There will be times that you are at a plateau and you just can't get those last few pounds off. When this happens, you have to make a choice to keep going. All you need to do is mentally believe you can do it. At this point, just reevaluate your eating patterns and exercise schedule. Actually, you should be proud of this moment, as this means your body has adjusted to the previous weight you have lost, and it needs an updated schedule.
Drugs can help you lose the weight, but there are many side effects to them. Some side effects are very dangerous. Diets just do not last.
So, the secret to losing weight is to believe in yourself. Once you have accomplished your goal the natural way, without high priced drugs and diets, your self-esteem will rise and you will KNOW you can do anything. And this lifestyle change will lead to a healthier, happier you.

20 Diet Plan Steps To A Slimmer You
Sticking to a diet plan is not easy, if it were then everyone would be thin and we wouldn't need to set diet goals for ourselves. We all need a little help to keep us on track with our diet plans sometimes. These 20 tips are meant to give you some additional ammunition in your war against the weight.
1) Make sure you eat a good breakfast. It keeps your energy levels stable and keeps your metabolism high.
2) Fill your plate with veggies and eat them first. If you split your plate into 4 sections two of them, or half the plate, should be veggies. That leaves 1/4 for a meat item and 1/4 for a starch.
3) Remove liquids with calories from your diet plan. This includes soda's and juices. Switching from regular Coke to Diet Coke saves you 180 calories from a 12 ounce can. That's 65,700 calories a year or almost 19 pounds.
4) Try to avoid caffeine. It will give you that temporary boost in energy and dull your appetite, but later you'll feel even worse and twice as hungry. And the more hungry you are the more likely you are to binge.
5) Switch from whole milk to 1% or skim milk.
6) Drink at least 64 ounces of water a day.
7) If you're feeling hungry have a glass of water first. Often we think we are hungry when in reality we are thirsty. Even if it is true hunger the water will fill you up a little and you'll be less likely to overeat.
8) Have a healthy snack at 3PM when your energy is low. Vegetables with low calorie dip, rice cakes and sugar-free jam, low fat yogurt or a small handful of almonds are all good choices.
9) Keep your portions reasonable. Portions should be the size of your fist or the size of a deck of cards. Stay away from "supersize" portions
10) Eat at a slower pace. It can take 15 minutes for our brains to register that we are full so if you're eating fast you're probably eating too much.
11) Eat more soup. They are filling and good for you. Stick with the non-cream soups that are low in calories and often high in fiber.
12) Eat every 3 hours to keep your metabolism high, hunger at bay and your blood sugar levels stable.
13) Use low calories condiments like mustard instead of fatty ones like mayonnaise.
14) Keep a food journal, especially if you're just starting to diet. There are lots of them available online. My favorite free one is at FitDay.com
15) If you're eating out get a doggie bag and put half your meal into it for later or even better for someone else. A typical meal out will have 1000+ calories, not including bread, appetizers, drinks etc.
16) When eating out skip the dessert. If you simply have to have that triple fudge chocolate layer cake share it with someone.
17) Treat yourself once a week. Even the strongest of us have weak moments. If you know that you'll get a break once a week it's much easier to stick with your diet for the other 6 days.
18) Exercise regularly. Even if you just walk 20-30 minutes a day the benefits are amazing. You'll lose not just from the calories you burn during exercise, but also from the boost in metabolism.
19) Find an exercise partner. It helps to know that someone is counting on you to show up at the gym. And it makes it more like an appointment and thus harder to skip out on.
20) Limit the amount of alcohol you drink. Try to drink only on weekends and limit yourself to one or two glasses.
Even using just a few of the tips can save you hundreds of calories daily and take off some unwanted pounds. I am not that overweight to begin with and dropped almost 10 pounds just by cutting soda out of my diet plan and drinking more water. Good luck with whatever diet plan you choose and I hope this list will help some of you to meet your diet goals.

Wellness Complete Now Offers Dr. Simeons Famous Weight Loss Protocol
WellnessComplete, a Utah based company, has opened their first center for wellness with the introduction of a system for weight loss created by the late Dr. A.T.W. Simeons. Their intent is to direct patients toward improved health principly through the implementation of the British physician's now famous technique. In 1959, Dr. Simeons discovered that in experiments using the hormone hCG (human chorionic gonadatrophin), obese and over-weight patients began experiencing unprecedented weight loss with little to no recidivism. He found that the regimen of hCG, combined with a controlled diet, for either 23 or 40 days, produced an amazing average weight loss of one pound per day. Dr. Simeons devoted the following 10 years perfecting the hCG weight-loss protocol for men and women. Due to the fact that hCG has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of Cryptorchidism, Infertility and Anti-aging and has been in use for over 40 years, WellnessComplete made the decision to offer this protocol to their patients.
It has further been revealed through Simeons' research that the hypothalamus gland, located in the brain is the connecting link between the nervous system and all of the body's hormones. It is also known as the "fat thermostat" hunger center of the body. The WellnessComplete Anti-Aging Weight Loss Program focuses on “tweaking” the hypothalamus in an effort to re-set a patient's “fat thermostat” and decrease food cravings. It is not uncommon to see WellnessComplete patients drop about one pound per day while on the program, similar to the results produced by Dr. Simeons.
WellnessComplete offers years of clinical expertise ("through a medically supervised" treatment plan) and support as their clients follow this proven weight loss protocol. Under the direction of Robert B. Jones, D.C., F.A.S.A. and Dr. M. Kirk Moore, M.D., the Simeons hCG Protocol is medically supervised by a team of licensed medical doctors, nurse practitioners, physicians assistants, phlebotomists and medical assistants. The protocol begins with a one hour introduction followed by the drawing of blood from protocol participants. Blood tests are performed to rule out any conditions that would disqualify patients from the program or to require prior treatments before a patient can start the protocol.
Once qualified for the protocol, the patient receives daily doses of hCG and instructions on usage of the prescription. The patient receives bi-monthly check-ups during the 23 or 40 day protocol. Instruction on proper nutrition is also included. Due to the success of the Simeons Weight Loss Protocol, it is not unusual for aspiring WellnessComplete patients to be placed on a waiting list for future consideration. Due to high demand for these services, and in order to reduce a growing patient logjam, WellnessComplete has announced plans to open additional centers in regions throughout the United States. Candidates interested in obtaining further details are encouraged to go to www.WellnessComplete.net or are advised to contact Representative Dave Salcido at dave@WellnessComplete.net.

Hypnos Is A Weight Loss Option
We have all seen the ads for hypnosis programs that promise to help us stop smoking, sleep better, get rid of stress, and a number of other common problems. Perhaps you have heard about using hypnosis to lose weight, and are wondering if hypnosis is a viable weight loss option. The short answer is yes: hypnosis can be a valuable tool in the battle of the bulge. While many people have benefited from hypnosis, it should only be used in conjunction with a weight loss program that encompasses healthy eating habits and an exercise regime.
How Hypnosis Can Help You Lose Weight
So, how exactly does hypnosis help you lose weight. The answer is simple enough: hypnosis helps you build healthy habits. Permanent weight loss is really all about learning and establishing healthy habits in your life. Hypnosis can help you by letting you absorb new, healthier beliefs and ideas that can be used to counteract and eventually replace the unhealthy living habits that only serve to perpetuate your weight problem.
The Power of Hypnotherapy
How can hypnotherapy help you build stronger and healthier habits that promote weight loss. Specifically, hypnotherapy can help you in four ways:
1. Hypnotherapy helps you create a self fulfilling prophecy. We have all heard it say, "You are what you eat." In reality, this old adage would be better stated as "you are what you believe." Belief is a powerful thing. Hypnotherapy can help plant positive beliefs in your mind that can help sustain the motivation and attitude necessary to lose weight. Hypnosis can put emphasis on the positive aspects of losing weight, such as increased stamina, energy, and o3verall better health. Rather than view weight loss as a negative, difficult, or challenging experience, hypnotherapy can help put a positive light on the experience, making the process of losing weight easier.
2. Hypnotherapy can help you create a new and powerful self image. Hypnosis may sometimes also integrate other forms of therapy, including visualization therapy. Although many of us yearn to lose weight, and maybe even dream about it for most of our lives, very few of us actually take the time to imagine our lives as a slimmer version of ourselves. What would we look like. What would we wear. How would we eat. How would we feel about ourselves. A powerful element of hypnotherapy is that it forces us to encounter ourselves, including the selves we would like to become. Hypnotherapy forces us to create a strong self image of who we are, and who we would like to become. Once we realize what we truly want, hypnotherapy can help keep this self image planted squarely in our subconscious, making it a powerful image that guides us toward successful weight loss.
3. Hypnotherapy helps you get rid of stress. Why should you worry about stress as you work toward your weight loss goal. Many people who strive to lose weight do not realize how stressful their situation is. Weight loss is a stressful! Your very self image seems guided by the numbers on your bathroom scale. Your morning weight in can set the tone for your entire day. The number that flashes across your scale can make the difference between a great day and a lousy one. Hypnotherapy can be a powerful destressing tool in a stressful time. By controlling stress, you will be more successful at keeping motivated and fueled for weight loss success. The more positive and relaxed you are, the less likely that you will fall prey to comfort or binge eating, lack of motivation, or other unhealthy behaviors.
4. Establish healthy habits. One of the greatest attributes of hypnotherapy is that it can help you establish healthy habits that promote weight loss. Are you drawn to desserts after a bad day at work. Do you eat when you are bored. Hypnotherapy can help you control this type of emotional eating by gently reminding you to eat only when you are hungry. Do you lack the motivation to start an exercise routine after years of inactivity. Are you afraid that all your hard work will not pay off. Hypnotherapy can help quell fears and raise your motivation by putting a positive spin on your weight loss experience. Reframing the idea of weight loss as something positive, even relaxing, can help make the experience less of an emotional rollercoaster.

Do not Diet Without Alternatives: It is hard enough to give up all the foods you love such as fried chicken, French fries, pizza, ice cream, cheesecake, or potato chips.

You have quite a few tasty alternatives. Remembering this as well as your reasons for wanting to be thin will help you not want to give up.
Remember also that you can do well all week long and then splurge on the weekend and gain a pound or two. It does not take much to gain weight back if you are not careful.

Also, if you are going out to eat on the weekend (or even during the week) you can find quite a few meal alternatives that you can eat, as well.

The use of a procedure called ear stapling can help you with weight loss, according to various representatives and users. You can learn from both those who have gone through this procedure, as well as from those who would not do it. It is considered one procedure that can help weight loss in some people, in both men and women.
The use of ear staples involves a similar technique as does Chinese Acupuncture, which has been around for over 2,000 years. Acupuncture is a process that is becoming more and more widely acceptable in western countries such as the United States. When applying ear staples in the right spots on your ears it can relieve pressure points that can help decrease tension levels and stress, assist in curbing your appetite, and reduce (or eliminate in some cases) your desire to smoke.
Some that have undergone the ear staples procedure have encountered some complications. The most common is infections, similar to the kind that many people get when having a part of their body, such as the nose, ear (of course), belly button, or even a part of their personal anatomy pierced. There is always this risk when having your skin pierced in any way.
These staples that you get in your ears for weight loss are usually inserted by a representative and in one case costs about 65.00. The reason why these have to be removed by an acupuncture representative (or similar specialist) is because special tools are needed to remove them.
The general procedure for having Ear Staples is to wear the first set of staples for up to six months, and then have them removed for a week. Then, when the week is up, usually the staples are reinserted. The exact period of time that these staples are left in may not be the same every time, so you should consult your acupuncture specialist to find out more information about it. In fact, another source on the Internet suggests leaving them in for about 3-4 months as long as there is no sign of redness or swelling in your ear.
From one source, women are said to be able to lose between 2-5 pounds per week, while men are said to lose an average of 4-10 pounds per week. This same source says they have a 90-95% chance that it will work for you, and that there is a chance you can have it repositioned so it will work for you.
The staple that is used to complete the Ear Staple Procedure is a surgical steel type one, very similar to the type of metal that is used for ear piercing. Other risks to a person besides infection could be soreness in some people, and stinging while the piercing of the staples is taking place.
If you need more information about the effectiveness of ear stapling the best thing to do is to seek professional advice regarding ear stapling. Many people are for it, but some people think it is not a good idea because it has been known to cause pain in some people, and soreness in a persons jaw as well. However, if you contact a professional and ask as many questions as possible you will find the information you need regarding this procedure.
Remember that no diet plan or weight loss procedure is 100 percent effective. This means that you need to still have a regular diet and exercise program. Furthermore, changing your lifestyle, such as reducing the amount of caffeine and alcohol that you take in, and quitting smoking can help as well (even though smoking can cause weight gain your life usually depends upon you quitting).
If you follow the instructions that you are given when receiving your ear staplers, and before and after the procedure has taken place, you will have better chance of success at weight loss. Also, if you learn enough about this procedure ahead of time you will know exactly what the risks and benefits of this procedure will be to you.
The effects of receiving ear staples are different for everyone. Besides asking professionals about this procedure, you can also read more articles such as this one in order to learn more about this type of weight loss procedure.

Five Tips For Staying Motivated Throughout Your Weight Loss Program
One of the hardest parts of any weight loss program is staying with it. Studies show that being able to stay motivated while you are trying to lose weight is an essential success factor. It is, though, a bit easier to say you will stay motivated than to actually complete the task.
There are always setbacks and bad days during the course of any program. Learning how to deal with those will help you tackle the tough times head on. What are the best ways to stay motivated during your weight loss program?
One of the first good ways to maintain your level of motivation throughout the long months of a weight loss program is to create a strong plan before you ever begin your weight loss program. A goal setting session as you get started will help you to understand where you are headed when you are in the middle of your program.
Your goals should not only be the basic things like I plan to lose five pounds, they should also be far more specific. For example, make sure you plan includes the number of minutes you intend to exercise each week as well as what you will do to achieve each goal. If your biggest goal is a number of pounds, outline the things you will do to reach that goal, look at the problems that might crop up as you attempt to meet that goal, and think about how you will face those problems as they come up.
The second good way to help bolster your motivation during your weight loss program is to change your method of thinking. Staying motivated means becoming an optimist, even if it is not in your normal nature. Studies show that what you think truly changes the way you do things.
For example, if you are depressed, all of your actions will reflect that. You will not be as productive at any of your tasks as a direct result of your depressive thoughts. If you want to stay with your weight loss program, think positive thoughts. Think about how much good you are doing for your body as you exercise each day. When you eat healthier foods, imagine your heart thanking you. You will derive some great motivation just by thinking happy thoughts.
The third way to stay motivated as you fight to meet your weight loss goals is to vary your routines. Your mind is quite likely to get bored if your weight loss program never varies. If you have to eat the same foods all of the time, or if you are required to stick with the same exercise program on a regular basis, you may find yourself completely uninterested in what you are doing.
As a result, you are far more likely to leave the program for something that keeps you interested in whether that means going back to your fast food habits or finding a new favorite television show while you should be exercising. The best way to prevent this is to start a different exercise program that you might enjoy every few months.
Moreover, to keep from being bored with your diet, buy some new healthy living cookbooks or search internet recipe sites for dishes to make that fit in with your weight loss program. This can help to keep you within your calorie limits without boring you.
Making a list of the positive aspects of your life from lost weight will also help you to stay motivated during your diet.
What about your life will change when you have lost the weight?
Will you be able to drop a prescription because you have become healthier?
Will you have a better self-image because you can finally fit into that dress you have been admiring?
Whatever will change about your life, list it. Post the list where you can see it on a regular basis. Remind yourself of the great benefits related to your weight loss, and you will feel better about your program.
The final way to stay motivated while you are trying to lose weight is to offer yourself a rewards program. People need rewards in all aspects of life. For example, we go to work so we can get a reward - a paycheck. If we get that reward, we get other rewards - homes, cars, clothes, and entertainment. This rewards style motivational program should carry over to your diet.
If you meet your exercise goal all week, buy that new album you have been reading reviews of. If you stay within your calorie limits, go see a movie on Saturday afternoon (just be sure to take some dried fruit or some other healthy snack). Little rewards along the way will help keep you motivated.
Keeping your level of motivation high during your next diet will help you to lose the weight.

How Cardio Fitness Programs Accelerate Weight Loss
Cardio fitness programs are aerobic exercises that help you loose weight. The more vigorous the exercise, the more amount of fat and calories you burn.
Everyone who exercises has a set heart workout rate that is ideal for him or her when they exercise. For most people, it is recommended that they exercise within 55 to 85 percent of their maximum heart rate for approximately 25 to 30 minutes, usually per day. If you are an experienced exerciser, you may want to increase your pace or exercise longer. If you are beginner you may want to start at the minimum recommended exercise level.
You can find free heart rate calculators online that can help you determine your ideal exercise rate. You can calculate this by: First you fill in your age, level of exercise (i.e. 60% of your maximum heart rate), and then you press the calculate button. Then, below the calculate button it shows you what your target heart rate should be in one box, and then in another it will show a range.
The targeted number is the number, which you will aim for when exercising, and the range is the lowest to the highest recommended heart rate for you. For example, if you are a woman who is 32 years old your target heart rate may be 112 beats per minute and the range would be 103 to 159 beats per minute.
Keep in mind that health and weight may also be a consideration when figuring out what is your ideal exercise heart rate, but this heart rate monitor type does not have that as one of the factors. You can use this as a guide, but it is also important for you to use your own judgment as well when exercising. You want to participate in a fitness program that will help you lose weight but you also do not want to over exert (exhaust) yourself to the point that it can cause you health problems.
There are quite a few fitness programs that can help you lose weight and can be performed at varying speeds. These include aerobic exercise routines, dance classes, and sports workouts. All of these types of exercises will help you burn fat and calories. The more running involved in an exercise the better. Fast walking, treadmilling, stair climbing, and bicycling are all options for you as well.
When you perform the above exercises, you should slow down to a stop at least once and check your pulse to check your heart rate. In order to check it by hand, you would have someone time you for six seconds and then multiply that number by 10. This would be your heart rate. (You can also count for the full 60-second, or 10 seconds, or for however long of a time you think you will not lose count.)
If you know what level your heart rate is when you perform any of the above exercises, then it will help you determine how effective your fitness program is. If you find that your heart rate is at the recommended level for your age then you know your workout will help you lose weight. If you find that you are not at the recommended heart rate level, under most conditions you may want to consider increasing the intensity of your aerobic workout.
Keep in mind that there may be other factors that can determine what type of workout is best for you. For instance, the length, intensity, and type of workout you participate in may vary slightly between men and women. Many factors come into play when you figure your exercise intensity.
In addition, there are a variety of other tests you can take that will help you determine whether or not your fitness plan is working for you. For example, one of these other tests would measure the percentage of body fat that you have. The average ideal body fat percentage for men is 15% to 18% and for women it is 22% to 25%. If you measure your body fat percentage periodically this will help judge how
If you are confused about how to figure out what your ideal fitness program should be, then you can consult a doctor or personal fitness trainer. They will help you create the ideal fitness plan for you, which will help you lose weight at a slow, steady pace. They will also guide you in ways to keeping the weight off.
Everyone who exercises has a set heart workout rate that is ideal for him or her when they exercise. For most people, it is recommended that they exercise within 55 to 85 percent of their maximum heart rate for approximately 25 to 30 minutes, usually per day. If you are an experienced exerciser, you may want to increase your pace or exercise longer. If you are beginner you may want to start at the minimum recommended exercise level.
You can find free heart rate calculators online that can help you determine your ideal exercise rate. You can calculate this by: First you fill in your age, level of exercise (i.e. 60% of your maximum heart rate), and then you press the calculate button. Then, below the calculate button it shows you what your target heart rate should be in one box, and then in another it will show a range.
The targeted number is the number, which you will aim for when exercising, and the range is the lowest to the highest recommended heart rate for you. For example, if you are a woman who is 32 years old your target heart rate may be 112 beats per minute and the range would be 103 to 159 beats per minute.
Keep in mind that health and weight may also be a consideration when figuring out what is your ideal exercise heart rate, but this heart rate monitor type does not have that as one of the factors. You can use this as a guide, but it is also important for you to use your own judgment as well when exercising. You want to participate in a fitness program that will help you lose weight but you also do not want to over exert (exhaust) yourself to the point that it can cause you health problems.
There are quite a few fitness programs that can help you lose weight and can be performed at varying speeds. These include aerobic exercise routines, dance classes, and sports workouts. All of these types of exercises will help you burn fat and calories. The more running involved in an exercise the better. Fast walking, treadmilling, stair climbing, and bicycling are all options for you as well.
When you perform the above exercises, you should slow down to a stop at least once and check your pulse to check your heart rate. In order to check it by hand, you would have someone time you for six seconds and then multiply that number by 10. This would be your heart rate. (You can also count for the full 60-second, or 10 seconds, or for however long of a time you think you will not lose count.)
If you know what level your heart rate is when you perform any of the above exercises, then it will help you determine how effective your fitness program is. If you find that your heart rate is at the recommended level for your age then you know your workout will help you lose weight. If you find that you are not at the recommended heart rate level, under most conditions you may want to consider increasing the intensity of your aerobic workout.
Keep in mind that there may be other factors that can determine what type of workout is best for you. For instance, the length, intensity, and type of workout you participate in may vary slightly between men and women. Many factors come into play when you figure your exercise intensity.
In addition, there are a variety of other tests you can take that will help you determine whether or not your fitness plan is working for you. For example, one of these other tests would measure the percentage of body fat that you have. The average ideal body fat percentage for men is 15% to 18% and for women it is 22% to 25%.

Do Nutritional Supplements Support Weight Loss?
The next best thing you can do to lose weight and keep it off, after choosing a healthy diet, and exercise is to plan a good supplement program. The foundation of a good supplement program should be based on a quality multi-mineral, multi-vitamin daily supplement.
The basic multi-mineral, multi-vitamin daily supplement will supply what your body needs under ordinary circumstances to meet your normal daily needs and prevent disease.
If you are ill, if you have a propensity for a certain problem, if you are trying to recover from a disease or illness of any sort, if you are preparing for an operation, or if you are recovering from operation, you should plan on augmenting the daily supplement with other specialized supplements.
Another serious problem with food is that it is less and less nutritious in terms of vitamin and mineral delivery. Recent studies suggest that vitamins and minerals delivered to the human body by fruits and vegetables may have declined as much as 30 - 40% since 1960!
The problem of poor mineral and vitamin content is even further exacerbated by the wide spread use of chemical fertilizers that bind micronutrients, such as zinc and selenium, in the soil.
This binding makes the micronutrients inaccessible to the plants (the plants cannot get the nutrients out of the soil) and therefore the mature vegetables or fruits are lacking both in major and micronutrients. A highly disproportionate amount of food has added sugars and/or artificial sweeteners.
Some of these are cancer causing in and of themselves being, as they typically are, petrochemical derivatives (artificial flavor usually means carcinogen), but even an innocent sweetener like white (or brown) sugar inactivates your white blood cells by a factor of 40 percent for up to three or four hours!
Imagine, your immune system is weak, then you drink some orange juice (most of it is phony sugar water) or some yogurt loaded with sweeteners (like glucose, sucrose, fructose, real sugar, etc.) and then for the next four or five hours your white cells are disabled (their effectiveness blocked by 40%) and they are unable to successfully defend your system against any attack.
The best general solution to this problem is to dramatically improve your eating habits. It is nearly impossible to do this in an intelligent way unless you take time to inform yourself about food and how to prepare food.
For example, the majority of cooks do not understand that heavy metals bleed from stainless-steel cookware (once its hard, smooth surface is scratched or damaged in any way) into the foods prepared in such pans. We personally prefer enamel pans for most uses.
I should also mention that some recent evidence suggests that the microwave may be one of the most dangerous machines ever invented from a health standpoint.
Since it tears the cells in food apart by intermittent vibration, it may cause you to consume an extraordinary amount of free radicals which will accelerate your aging, promote illness, and weaken your immune system.
If a microwave can give you cancer from standing close to it while it is on just imagine what it is doing to your food. If you want to heat something quickly just put it in your oven and broil it.
Your oven gets extremely hot on the broil setting, so it won't take much longer than a microwave. If you want to defrost something, plan ahead and defrost it in the refrigerator.
To protect your body and immune system, it is essential to stop eating suspect foods, prepared goods, and most foods that fall in the candy or snack category. For example ordinary crackers are almost universally made with hydrogenated oils and often, like bread, have added iron.
We suggest that you purchase and prepare foods for yourself such as eggs (fry or boil eggs, whole eggs; eggs have a balanced supply of lecithin and cholesterol naturally), poultry (bake a chicken, boil chicken breasts), beef (broil a steak, throw a roast in the crock pot.
And prepare fruit and vegetables. For instance, along with scrambled eggs I might saute a diced onion, a diced apple or two with one or two diced jalapenos in a bit of butter to serve with the eggs.
Use a whole cabbage to steam or saute, add onions and garlic for additional flavor. Obviously, we cannot tell you what to eat or how to prepare it, but it is imperative to get away from most prepared foods (in frozen or shelf boxes, cans, jars, and all foods that are in any way prepared.)
Even yogurt can be dangerous if not plain. The flavored yogurts are often made with petrochemical carcinogens such as color and flavor, and sweeteners that are deadly to the weakened immune system. If you want to flavor your yogurt, buy organic plain yogurt and put fresh fruit and/or granola into it. I feel a safe rule is not to eat anything that would not have been available on the table of your grandfather.
You would not have found bagged salads, which can stay fresh for a week or two, thanks to chemicals, on his table. If I want a salad I chop up some kale, collards, cabbage, tomatoes, peppers, onions, garlic, and stir up some oil, lemon juice, and vinegar; that is a salad.
Something grown in California, chopped and bagged in Chicago, and shipped to your grocer by way of New York is not a salad but it is a lifeless food source.
Another important addition to the diet would be to go on a modified juice fast to help cleanse the body (and particularly the individual cells of the body).
This would be to juice singly, together, or in any combination cabbage, onions, garlic, carrots, apples, pears, peppers, celery, onions, kale, spinach, fruits, and similar foods and to consume only the juice and as much as you can tolerate.
As a rule of thumb, any supplement program you start on, make sure you are getting what you pay for. I highly recommend you find a natural supplement company, one that has a track record of quality, integrity, and understands the power of nature.

Resistance Is Good! Resistance Training Can Increase Your Weight Loss
Resistance training is a form of strength training in which exercises are performed against a specific opposing force. This helps define and build muscles and can contribute to weight loss.
There are two different types of exercise positions within the resistance-training realm. One type is the isotonic exercises, which are movements of a specific body part moving against a force, and isometric exercises are movements in which the body (or part of the body) is holding still against the force.
There are different ways in which resistance training can be performed for your overall health and well being. For instance, weight lifting, which is a large part of resistance training, can help you. These are the best type of resistance exercises, which help you build muscle. In fact, you can perform nearly your entire workout with a pair of adjustable dumbbells (the smaller ones that look like miniature barbells) and set of weight disks.
Many people start out using weight disks that are as light as five pounds each. You can also find some that are less than five pounds each, but these are usually ones that are not adjustable or interchangeable (There are two types of dumbbells, one is the fixed weight kind, and the other is the already mentioned adjustable kind). Both of these types have a specific purpose, which is to provide you with a force that you can work against to increase skeletal muscle strength and size.
Usually in order to lose weight while engaging in resistance training, it is recommended that you combine the weight training with certain aerobic exercises. Many times you can jog with weights, or complete certain step routines with them. In order to make it easier for you to use weights during high-impact exercise such as aerobic routines or jogging, it is usually easier to use weights, which you can fasten to your wrists and/or ankles.
Other types of resistance training include exercise machines, both those that have weights on them and those that do not. The ones with the weights on them add an extra force in which to help you work up a sweat quite a bit faster, depending upon the speed in which you do them. A unique type of device that is much like an exercise machine is the swimming machine, which is a small basin of water in which the user swims in place, similar to how someone would if that person was fighting for his or her life.
Other exercise devices that provide a degree of resistance are stair climbing machines and even treadmills. Any exercises where you are completing rapid motions within a confined area can not only help you with muscle formation but it can also help you burn excess calories. The degree of resistance of each type of exercise machine varies, and also depends upon how the user sets the resistance level on each machine.
Another type of resistance is the use of the humans own body weight. The most common example of this is when a person does push-ups. These can be the full push-ups in which the knees do not touch the ground, the half push-ups in which the knees touch the ground, and an alternative style pushup, in which a person starts out with their buttocks to the ground sitting up. These help build a persons arm muscles.
Sit-ups and crunches (like sit-ups but only lifting your head half way, often with your hands behind your back) often provide an amount of resistance to your abdominal area. Again, any type of resistance exercise can help you lose weight if you are performing them at a fast enough pace in which you will be able to burn calories and fat.
All of the above exercises should be performed at 60 percent of the persons maximum heart rate level. This is measured by taking your pulse and knowing what your pulse rate should be for someone your age, weight, and health. You can find free pulse rate calculators online, and you can find ways to figure out what your ideal pulse rate mathematically. You can also either check your pulse while you are exercising by hand or with the use of a pulse rate indicator.
You will benefit from any combination of the above exercises. If you are exercising for the first time in a long time you will need to take some precautions, however. Make sure that you start out slowly. This means you need to complete stretching exercises of all your major muscle groups (torso, legs, neck, arms, etc.) and then start your exercises at a walking pace, and gradually move faster and faster. Soon you will be working your body at a steady and moderate to brisk pace, and this is when you will burn the most calories.
If you follow all of the above tips while establishing a proper resistance training routine you will be able to lose weight before you know it. Furthermore, you will have a better quality of life.

The Secrets of Effective Weight Loss Plans
65% of adults in the United States are overweight or obese. If you are like most people, you have struggled to lose weight at one time or another.
You have been on every fad weight loss plan diet. Initially your weight loss is quick, but then you gain it back and find yourself heavier than before.
This is the dreaded cycle of yo-yo dieting. Yes, in the short term you can lose weight, but every time you do this you may be doing more damage than good because your body thinks it's experiencing a famine.
In response to that famine, your body goes into survival mode and conserves energy by slowing down your metabolism. Your body does its best to hold on to the fat you have for as long as it can.
So, with many diets the weight you initially lose is from fat and muscle. And that loss of muscle slows down your metabolism even further because muscle burns calories. Muscle=Metabolism.
There are also common challenges, emotional and other physical ones that come along with dieting. Many diets or weight loss programs are too restrictive or monotonous, or leave you feeling deprived and don't teach you how to permanently change your eating and exercise habits. They leave you feeling hungry, tired, and craving the foods you miss most.
You've about had it, so you return to your old eating habits and gain the weight back. And the sad part is, the weight you put back on is fat weight.
If you really want to lose weight you need a weight loss plan that is powered by leucine to help preserve muscle while you lose weight from fat. Leucine is an amino acid that heads straight to the muscle where it initiates protein synthesis (the process of building muscle). That is why many professional and Olympic athletes take it as a supplement. Preserving muscle mass also prevents your metabolism from dropping.
But how do you know which weight loss plans with leucine are the best? A good weight loss program that contains leucine should be scientifically formulated to help you lose weight, lose inches, and break the cycle of perpetual dieting. That means they should have scientific studies and tests that are published in scientific journals to show the effectiveness of their product.
To get published in a scientific journal, your findings must be agreed upon by the scientific community as a whole. Many companies hire their own scientists to perform tests on their weight loss products, come up with bogus results that they release themselves.
A good weight loss plan is designed for real life, so it should also addresses the physical and emotional challenges that come along with your weight control efforts. Proprietary formulas, should also be provided with your weight loss products so you can control your hunger, boost your energy, and keep you feeling satisfied. Plus, you should also get healthy personalized menus, specific to your body's needs and your individual preferences.
Along with any diet or weight loss plan that includes leucine, you should also exercise regularly, and eat as many raw fruits and vegetables as possible. If you follow these recommendations, you should be able to naturally, and safely lose weight and keep it off.

The Benefits Of Hiring A Weight Loss Coach
Did you know that you could hire your own person weight loss coach? It`s true, and this person can help you in a variety of ways.
Some of the benefits of hiring a weight loss coach are that that person can help plan your meals and help you create an effective exercise program. You could also hire a fitness trainer to help you with your figure. These types of trainers/coaches can really help you.
Another way that various weight loss coaches can be good for you is that they provide you with accountability. They can motivate you when you feel like giving up, and they can encourage you when you screw up and help you back on the wagon. A good weight loss coach will not judge you, no matter how long it takes you to reach your goal.
Often the weight loss coach that you hire will also organize `teams` of people just like you who ban together to help each other real their weight loss goals. They provide a haven to which you can go to during the rockiest times of your weight loss journey. Not only that, but your weight loss coach and the team that you are involved with can engage healthy competition with each other or other teams of people who want to lose weight.
This is one way that weight loss coaches and weight loss groups can benefit you. Whether you join a group or have your own personal trainer you will benefit. There are pros and cons to the group coaching sessions and the individual sessions. For instance, the group sessions can provide for added support and incentive for you to reach your ideal weight. You also have extra support. The downside is that you may not receive individual attention from your coach.
If you are a fairly independent person, you may not mind the fact that others are in the room with you and your weight loss coach. You are a person who realizes that you can not only draw on the support of your professional trainer but also upon the support of the people who are also present with the same or similar goals that you are. Not only that, but the group sessions are sometimes likely to cost less than personal sessions (not always true, but true in many cases).
If you are a person who feels you may need extra special encouragement and attention during your weight loss journey, you may prefer the individualized coaching. If you feel self conscious about your weight and are afraid of what others would think of you if you would fail, you may feel less intimidated by one-on-one weight loss training. This is true as well if you hire a personal fitness trainer to help you with your exercise program.
Whether you are in a group weight loss coaching session or an individual weight loss coaching session, you will have similar goals in mind. You will have an ideal weight that you will want to reach, a diet and exercise plan that is tailored to your daily needs, and the support and encouragement of someone who has either been down the road you are going down now, or has been trained to deal with those such as you who have.
Many feel that the best weight loss coaches are ones that can teach and motivate based on personal experience. These are the ones that they can identify with the most, and the ones they feel the most encouraged by. Others may not feel it`s necessary for their personal trainer to have been overweight before. Instead, they may prefer to benefit from a person who is in perfect bodily shape, and who has prevented him or herself from ever gaining too much weight.
No matter whom you choose to be your weight loss coach, you will benefit as long as it is a person that you feel you can learn from. Furthermore, if you feel that you can trust the person`s judgment and expertise that is also a plus in your favor. With the right weight loss coach (and/or fitness trainer) you can reach your weight loss goals in no time.
If you cannot afford to join a profession weight loss program or to hire a personal weight loss coach, you may have some low cost or free options. Often neighborhood weight loss support groups will team people together, and sometimes within these groups you can find a role model who can help you. There is a way for anyone who wants to lose weight whether they have money or not.
Free and reduced fee support groups for those who want to lose weight, as well as free sponsorship for those who want to lose weight is often available. Not only that, but you can even join weight loss forums online, and even chat groups, for additional support when you cannot find it any other way.
No matter how you receive your support, accountability, and encouragement for weight loss it will help. Those who are serious about losing weight will lose it and keep it off no matter what amount of money they pay for the support they need.

You are a person who realizes that you can not only draw on the support of your professional trainer but also upon the support of the people who are also present with the same or similar goals that you are. Not only that, but the group sessions are sometimes likely to cost less than personal sessions (not always true, but true in many cases).
If you are a person who feels you may need extra special encouragement and attention during your weight loss journey, you may prefer the individualized coaching. If you feel self conscious about your weight and are afraid of what others would think of you if you would fail, you may feel less intimidated by one-on-one weight loss training. This is true as well if you hire a personal fitness trainer to help you with your exercise program.
Whether you are in a group weight loss coaching session or an individual weight loss coaching session, you will have similar goals in mind. You will have an ideal weight that you will want to reach, a diet and exercise plan that is tailored to your daily needs, and the support and encouragement of someone who has either been down the road you are going down now, or has been trained to deal with those such as you who have.
Many feel that the best weight loss coaches are ones that can teach and motivate based on personal experience. These are the ones that they can identify with the most, and the ones they feel the most encouraged by. Others may not feel it`s necessary for their personal trainer to have been overweight before. Instead, they may prefer to benefit from a person who is in perfect bodily shape, and who has prevented him or herself from ever gaining too much weight.
No matter whom you choose to be your weight loss coach, you will benefit as long as it is a person that you feel you can learn from. Furthermore, if you feel that you can trust the person`s judgment and expertise that is also a plus in your favor. With the right weight loss coach (and/or fitness trainer) you can reach your weight loss goals in no time.
If you cannot afford to join a profession weight loss program or to hire a personal weight loss coach, you may have some low cost or free options. Often neighborhood weight loss support groups will team people together, and sometimes within these groups you can find a role model who can help you. There is a way for anyone who wants to lose weight whether they have money or not.
Free and reduced fee support groups for those who want to lose weight, as well as free sponsorship for those who want to lose weight is often available. Not only that, but you can even join weight loss forums online, and even chat groups, for additional support when you cannot find it any other way.
No matter how you receive your support, accountability, and encouragement for weight loss it will help. Those who are serious about losing weight will lose it and keep it off no matter what amount of money they pay for the support they need.

How Laparoscopic Obesity Surgery Compares With Open Surgery For Weight Loss
Laparoscopic obesity surgery is one of those surgical procedures that has been gaining popularity compared to other operative procedures like open surgery. Why? Because in this surgery, a small fiberoptic tube is connected to a video screen, and is inserted through the small abdominal incisions, which allows the surgeon to see inside the body and view the area of operation without having to make large incisions.
This is considered safe since it leads to less trauma and a reduced risk of infection. The surgeon creates a small pouch (stomach pouch) near the upper part of the stomach in a Laparoscopic obesity surgery procedure. This pouch limits the amount of food that person eats.
The very good thing about obesity surgery, compared to open surgery, is that it does not put the immune system of the patient at risk. Open surgeries can compromise the immune system and even promote the growth of any existing tumors. The amount of time the operation takes for open surgeries can increase the risk of developing blood clots or wound infections. Patients may suffer severe apnea or heart disease.
The primary purpose of the operation is to reduce short-term morbidity as other weight loss surgeries. In Laparoscopic obesity surgery, the patient's average stay in the hospital is 2-3 days in contrast to 4-6 days with the traditional open surgery. Patients recover faster when surgical procedure is done laparoscopically. Patients can return to work in 2 weeks.
Hernia, the complication brought by open surgery, is significantly reduced in obesity surgery. The surgery embodies quarter inch to half inch small incisions instead of 8 to 10 inch incision done in the open approach.
The treatment for surgery may reduce post operative pain and medication levels, promote faster return of bowel function, and improved cosmetic results. Other advantage is that it does not involve any cutting or stapling of the stomach.
Obesity surgery is considered as an effective surgical procedure since it not only leads to satisfactory weight reduction but also associated with a low rate of complications compared to other operative procedures. Yet, there are complications related to Laparoscopic obesity surgery that the patients should be aware of.
Obesity is a serious problem, whatever age you are, and whatever stage you are in your life. For this reason it is important that obesity is not ignored but addressed as soon as possible so that people can enjoy their life for the full with as few physical ailments as possible.

Two Quick Weightloss Ideas To Kill Your Bad Habits
A long time ago I learned a couple of weightloss ideas to help you kill a bad habit. It works to eliminate your attachment to something, as you'll see below.
Some quick background. I grew up dieting. When I was about 10, I started putting on weight, and my mom started putting me on diets. Awful right? At least she went on them, too.
So I have spent many years with this ingrained idea that food is fun, and no food is no fun. One of the weightloss ideas I learned as a teenager came back to me recently, about this habit of eating for fun.
Go buy your favorite food or snack, whether you eat it now or not. Get a cookie, a big muffin, a double sugar latte, or some Ben and Jerry's. Once you have it, you can either take a bite, or not, and skip ahead.
When I say take a bite, I mean it. If you eat any, eat only a small amount. Next, toss it out. Yes, throw it away, whether you ate any or not. You want to change the idea in you that you have to finish that item or save it. You can get more.
Some more weightloss ideas to help you with this: Picture all the food you will ever and have ever eaten all in one place. Not easy, right? It would be a mountain of food. Just the turkey will make a huge pile for me. With all that food, you can spare a few cookies or a muffin. Toss it out.
And don't buy another one to take its place right now. I know all about forbidden foods. I was on Sugar Busters for two years, and the second half of that included a lot of cheating. By the way, in Sugar Busters, you quit eating white sugar and white flour. Its a lot like South Beach.
This method of giving up ingredients creates a ton of forbidden foods. I decided, after quitting in frustration and gaining the weight back, all 35 pounds, that forbidden foods wouldn't work for me. If it does for you, congratulations, and stay with it.
I decided my weight loss would have to come by prudently eating all kinds of foods in the right quantities. And so, throwing out some of it helps to keep me focused. If I want more, I can have it tomorrow or the next day.
Give these weightloss ideas a try. Go get that double scoop of rocky road and mint chocolate chip ice cream on a sugar cone. Take a bite of each, and chuck it. You can handle it. And always know you can get another one tomorrow, and eat or throw it away.

Reliable Weight Loss Solution
Research in the United States indicates that obesity and rates of people being overweight are skyrocketing. 11% of children, for example, are obese, according to statistics. 50% of women between 20 and 74 are overweight or obese, statistics also say. Figures for men in all age groups are similar. A reliable weight loss solution is needed.
Being overweight may lead to health risks, like heart disease or the possibility of heart attacks. If you are some 20 pounds overweight, though, ensure your doctor evaluates your condition as differences in people's bodies give different results because of fat and muscle ratio to body weight. It is always a wise precaution to check with your doctor before starting a permanent weight loss solution.
Traditional ways of losing weight should be avoided. You don't need to reduce your calorie intake dramatically, for example, or indeed to starve yourself in combination with vigorous exercise. There is available a tried and successful program that allows you to eat 4 meals a day, combined with moderate exercise only. There is also a particular aspect of the program that actually excludes any exercise. At the same time, following this program ensures that you don't go hungry and a wide variety of food readily available.
The "Shifting Calories" eating method is an innovative system that shifts certain calories when you eat using a manipulative eating style. It is an irregular style that shocks the body into raising a high metabolism that leads to weight loss. Thousands of people worldwide can vouch to the system's success.
In the Shifting Calories system certain types of calories are manipulated at each meal. Fat calories are not manipulated, just carbs and proteins. You are presented with a large list of foods and then shown how to manipulate these to gain maximum weight loss. There is no skimping at meal times; you eat only until you are satisfied. You don't overeat, of course, but you stop short of being "full".
You are shown the exact foods that you need to rotate each day. You can eat the foods in any order, as long as you follow the recommended carbs and proteins combinations. To make it even easier for the dieter, an online diet generator will generate your daily menu for you!
You have probably been advised that you should be aware that "low carbs" and "low fat" are ways to lose weight. These suggestions are just not true. Sugar is the biggest culprit in weight gain, with fat being secondary.
Your aerobic exercise should not be intense. This type of exercise burns mainly carbs, not fat. Intense work-outs tend to raise the heart rate and breathing excessively. Whereas an exercise like walking gently raises the heart rate and breathing so that you will burn stored body fat.
For an effective and permanent weight loss solution, then, the Shifting Calories program is without equal.
