Fad Weight Loss Diets--7 Tips To Help You Avoid Them

The best solution for fat loss and weight loss success is a combination of healthy nutrition and regular exercise. After 100 years of weight loss history, doctors and fitness professionals are in agreement with this solution. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv7Y5eDW1tSctaW_PVquQAz5e_XV1hS_Uqwx0S9AyLnJ9nsaXRxEg70CuaOZJgDY3BQ03yLK8VKW5OmlpCa7nMy6mFG3EOBqHT1VK-blFC-5s9npstcrxqCGxl0hIFbMGoDuQalfgkaYR9/s1600/food+label.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="242" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv7Y5eDW1tSctaW_PVquQAz5e_XV1hS_Uqwx0S9AyLnJ9nsaXRxEg70CuaOZJgDY3BQ03yLK8VKW5OmlpCa7nMy6mFG3EOBqHT1VK-blFC-5s9npstcrxqCGxl0hIFbMGoDuQalfgkaYR9/s320/food+label.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> Don't look for shortcuts. Your health is at stake. Invest in yourself. Here's 7 tips that will help you avoid fad weight loss diets: 1. Make a commitment to a lifetime of fitness and not some weight loss plan! I cannot stress this point enough. This commitment trumps all other fitness commitments. Without it, you will always fall prey to the inevitable obstacles and pitfalls (like fad diets) along the way. 2. You MUST change your body's composition! You must increase muscle mass to become a “fat-burning machine.” You don't need to be a body builder but you need to burn the fat (to an acceptable <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/2007/10/having-too-little-body-fat-can-be.html">body fat percentage</a>) on your body while building muscle mass. So, make the commitment to regular full-body strength training. Besides building muscle mass, it will speed up your metabolism (the body has to work harder to maintain muscle) and help improve your bone density. Note: You must do more than cardio exercise to change your body composition! 3. I don't recommend any diet that omits one of the <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/2007/07/diets-dietseverywhere-diet.html">macronutrients (carbs, protein, fat</a>). Your body's <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/2008/04/your-metabolism-and-fat-loss-part-3.html">metabolism</a> needs all 3 macronutrients to work efficiently. Establish a good foundational meal plan before trying special tactics like carb cycling. 4. The various "body organ cleansers" out there on the market are not the key to your fat loss and weight loss. Regular exercise (<a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/2008/08/focus-on-fat-loss-not-weight-loss.html">weight training and interval cardio</a>) and good nutrition are your tickets to a permanent lean and toned body. Healthy foods such as fruits and veggies play a role in keeping your body clean (and alot less expensive)! 5. There are <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/2008/05/dont-pin-your-fat-loss-hopes-on.html">no magic pills, powders or creams</a> that will give you a permanent lean and toned body. 6. Make the commitment to change your eating habits to healthy menus that you can maintain and reach your goals. You won't be hungry and you will end up eating more with less calories. 7. Set your daily caloric intake based on your basal metabolic rate and your activity level. This way, you won't eat too much or too little. Maintaining the right amount of calorie deficit (burning more calories than you consume) on most days is one of the keys to burning fat and losing weight.

Are You Blaming Weight Gain on Your Job?

There seems to be a new reason reported every week explaining why we are gaining weight and getting fat. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2BbVA3QBZotLn-crrXXCViWG5Syjl26Vym8EJVPRrMnMhM8zjIvEz42VxaviWIA-H-yeL9BiHKgKFiToACwIHCr9EZ8-gzxpMZQtJKvLLlBYdBik2Q4NZaXq3r6IptAdo-ogsRInLGLEK/s1600/office+workers2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2BbVA3QBZotLn-crrXXCViWG5Syjl26Vym8EJVPRrMnMhM8zjIvEz42VxaviWIA-H-yeL9BiHKgKFiToACwIHCr9EZ8-gzxpMZQtJKvLLlBYdBik2Q4NZaXq3r6IptAdo-ogsRInLGLEK/s320/office+workers2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> Sedentary jobs have been listed more than once as one of the main causes of weight gain for many people. There's one problem with that theory: I know many people (and so do you) who have "sit-down jobs" and are very fit. I also know people who work on their feet at health clubs who are very overweight. So, its not where you work that determines whether you will or are gaining weight. Our culture encourages us to blame someone or sue someone in court to fix our problems. That works fine unless you are the cause of your problems. In the fat loss and weight loss arena, YOU largely determine how much you will weigh. There are medical and genetic exceptions to this weight gain rule but that's a subject for another article. For purposes of this article, you are ultimately responsible for your body fat and body weight. Despite the popularity of many "other reasons" for our nation's overweight and obesity problem, I still maintain that the primary reason for your weight gain is a caloric imbalance. Simply put, you will gain weight and fat if you consistently eat more calories than you burn. Some will say that theory is outdated. Don't believe them. I realize its important to eat the right types of foods for nutrition and health. But, you will also gain weight if you eat too much of the healthy foods. So, if you have a "sit-down" job, I would recommend that you move more. Research proves that when you sit, your fat-burning enzymes basically shut down....when you stand during the day, those fat-burning enzymes go to work for you! Try to stand as much as you can during the day and take walking breaks and lunches to activate your fat-burning enzymes! Any activity is good to go along with your regular workouts. All movement burns calories. Don't blame your job if you're gaining weight. Make changes to your exercise, eating and lifestyle habits. These are the primary keys to you shaping and maintaining a lean and healthy body.

Quick Fat Loss and Lasting Weight Loss

Would you like to burn fat at a faster rate, lose weight and keep the fat and weight off? You CAN have it all. Just make adjustments to your exercise routine and work hard until you achieve your goals. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRyiCNi6DdjlaKKwyhir_JsTvl5VNNuX2kk43xcaZFVTm8YZ-V_ZArnPXgye6ycBpPv-2ryHNQFqdlNn0XmRgBtjqpKvmbAN9OT_V1aLJXIwty5U-OYvs8k2ilTVm0T8WiWaPSuwzmE_Xp/s1600/Side+lunge5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRyiCNi6DdjlaKKwyhir_JsTvl5VNNuX2kk43xcaZFVTm8YZ-V_ZArnPXgye6ycBpPv-2ryHNQFqdlNn0XmRgBtjqpKvmbAN9OT_V1aLJXIwty5U-OYvs8k2ilTVm0T8WiWaPSuwzmE_Xp/s320/Side+lunge5.jpg" width="216" /></a></div> Many of you need a huge change from your regular workouts in order to make progress. Some of you just need a jumpstart. And, some of you don't know what in the world to do about your body's shape! Relax and keep reading. If you have been doing the same workout for months, you need a change to break through your plateau. If your workouts are 2 hours long, you are spending too much time in the gym and your body may be breaking down from over-training. You can get better results with less time and burn fat and inches off your frame. You don't need a gym membership. You can do your program at home or anywhere you like. Your strength workouts don't need to exceed 50 minutes and interval cardio workouts don't need to exceed 20 minutes! You will have to work out VERY HARD but you will be rewarded. Get off the yo-yo weight loss and weight regain wagon. Leave the fad diets and quick weight loss programs behind because they never work long-term! You can stop the weight loss/weight regain cycle with regular, intense exercise and healthy menus. Its that simple but you may have to change your previous beliefs about how to lean and tone your body. Work hard and never quit until you reach your goals.

Weight Loss Lessons from The Red Sox?

The Boston Red Sox can teach you plenty about weight loss. Yes, Red Sox fans, you are 0-6 to start the 2011 season with the hated Yankees and Derek "Jetah" coming to Fenway this weekend. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgThGmz0W5M_T7FsNvYZTELj1ms325-JtspgVMlSv8F2rXtk3w-xFeiZ6uBn_X60-poEHuwoV9RGYLLu-peFZxCflR1o4cWx27tA38of-i1GzfBApdDhyphenhyphenfSEbX-QaBBuskm1IxhuWzfUgON/s1600/Boone01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="278" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgThGmz0W5M_T7FsNvYZTELj1ms325-JtspgVMlSv8F2rXtk3w-xFeiZ6uBn_X60-poEHuwoV9RGYLLu-peFZxCflR1o4cWx27tA38of-i1GzfBApdDhyphenhyphenfSEbX-QaBBuskm1IxhuWzfUgON/s320/Boone01.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> Nine out of ten experts picked the Red Sox to go to the World Series this year. It might happen since there are still 156 games to go. Or, it might not happen if you know anything about the "heartbreaking" Red Sox history. And, this history is where you can learn some weight loss lessons. 1. The Sox and their fans have had to bounce back from huge disappointments. Let's see....remember..... --Bucky "bleeping" Dent's winning homer over the "Green Monster" in game 163 to give the Yankees the 1978 division championship, --Bill Buckner's World Series blooper in 1986 that eventually led to the Mets' series victory and --Aaron "bleeping" Boone's winning homer (pictured above) in game 7 of the 2003 American League Championship Series (ALCS) that gave the Yankees the win and series. You will transform your body to lean and toned after tons of hard work, disappointments, setbacks and trial and error. If you can't keep "getting up and trying again and again and again and again," you will never reach your goals. 2. The Sox waited 80-plus years to finally win another World Series title in 2004. Fenway Park has been sold out every game no matter what because they never give up. You can't put a time limit on your health, fitness and body transformation. Do what it takes for however long it takes. If you keep running into a brick wall, get some guidance from a personal trainer. 3. Win against seemingly impossible odds. The Sox finally won the World Series after coming back from a 3-0 game deficit to win 4 straight games against the Yankees in the 2004 ALCS. Nobody thought they could do it---except themselves. Do you have seemingly impossible barriers holding you back from fat loss and weight loss success? Do you believe you can do it? Its never impossible, you just may need some help from health professionals to help set your path. 4. The fans of the Sox are a close-knit bunch. They have been through alot together over the years. Grandchildren are tied to the Sox' dreams of grandparents. Red Sox Nation is real and don't mess with those "chowderheads." You need help to reach your fat loss and weight loss goals. That could be a trainer, workout buddy, spouse or friend. Don't try to do it alone. Research proves that you are more likely to succeed when you have social support. Work hard and never quit until you reach your goals.

Do Cardio to Burn Fat

Your <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/2008/05/speed-up-your-cardio-to-tone-up-your.html">cardio</a> should burn fat and improve your heart health. There are many ways to do cardio but keep these two goals in mind. Boredom is built into cardio exercise because of the repetition. You can avoid the boredom by changing up your routines and keeping the sessions short. Use cardio as a major <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/2007/10/caloric-deficit-is-needed-over-time-to.html">calorie burner.</a> It does NOT require long cardio sessions to burn major calories. Too many long (such as 45-60 minutes) cardio sessions will waste away your muscle mass. Here are some cardio tips to burn fat: 1. Traditional long, slow lower-intensity aerobic exercise on treadmills, bikes, ellipticals, etc. is good for beginners or those who have been inactive. 2. Research has proven that the benefits of anaerobic exercise (like sprint interval cardio) is superior to aerobic exercise for fitness and heart health. The progression of your cardio exercise should be low-intensity aerobics to moderate/high-intensity aerobics to <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/2008/04/burn-300-calories-in-20-minutes.html">high-intensity anaerobic exercise</a>. 3. High intensity cardio (HIC) and <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/2008/07/simple-effective-cardio-workout.html">high intensity interval cardio training(HIIT)</a> will give you faster body fat burn in less time. You only need to do 20 minutes per session, 3 times a week. 4. High intensity cardio (HIC) and high intensity interval cardio training (HIIT) will: a) significantly boost your <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/2008/04/your-metabolism-and-fat-loss-part-1.html">metabolism</a>--during and after exercise, b) give you less lean body mass loss, c) give you a faster rate of <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/2008/06/fat-loss-is-not-rocket-science-but-its.html">body fat</a>-to-energy conversion and d) significantly increase your VO2 Max capacity. 5. <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/2008/06/add-cardio-blasts-to-your-weight.html">Circuit weight training (including bodyweight circuits)</a> has dual benefits as a strength/cardio workout. 6. If HIC or HIIT is too hard on your body, you might want to try a HIC, HIIT and moderate intensity combination during the week. Just get to know your body so you know when to back off. The evidence is clear----if you want maximum body fat burn in the least amount of time, then HIC and HIIT is the way to go! I personally do 2 days of HIIT, 2 days of HIC and 2 days of circuit weight training per week. I know it works.

Avoid Springtime Weight Loss Gimmicks

Don't fall for the many springtime weight loss gimmicks coming your way. Makers of weight loss pills, fat burn supplements and quick weight loss plans continue to get rich because people "buy in" and buy the products. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjcnUOfmtfTgYBndWW7d5jl60793S7dY9O1vE0Sk-85in1uA8y7Ss8rFdB-KlKa5rp8YW22ADXt0YjizexWs13HUokY802_zwO5hZLGz6osYz0-FKDffctn9hWb3g6JSEdLSu_i6x-2PWn/s1600-h/step+up+knee+lift.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439790337593911762" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjcnUOfmtfTgYBndWW7d5jl60793S7dY9O1vE0Sk-85in1uA8y7Ss8rFdB-KlKa5rp8YW22ADXt0YjizexWs13HUokY802_zwO5hZLGz6osYz0-FKDffctn9hWb3g6JSEdLSu_i6x-2PWn/s320/step+up+knee+lift.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 216px; height: 320px;" /></a> Don't get your body in shape for summer. Start transforming your body for a lifetime! You need a plan that will help you develop good exercise and eating habits for the longhaul. If you need to accomplish something fast to help motivate you for a longterm commitment, I do recommend a <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/2011/01/accelerated-fat-loss-program-at-my.html">quick fat loss</a> program that continues with a progressive longterm plan. The goal is NOT quick weight loss when doing a quick fat loss program. During the quick fat loss program, you may lose weight or experience very little weight loss. But, you should experience significant fat loss and inches lost from your frame. This is the sign that your body is changing. The goal is to burn fat fast--with resistance training, cardio training and a healthy meal plan. This is usually accomplished with a reduced calorie structure, for 7 to 14 days, designed to help you maintain a negative calorie balance (300-500 daily calorie deficit). There is usually one cheat day per week of some sort. A quick fat loss program is definitely not severe calorie restriction. But, you will have to change your eating patterns. You will eat more nutritious food and you will eat every 3-4 hours to maintain your energy. You may actually be eating more food but fewer calories. You will eat enough to start building muscle and burning fat. Its up to you. If you have been yo-yoing with weight loss and more weight regain, stop the cycle. Start working to transform your body, not lose weight! If you don't know what to do, I can tell you that weight loss pills and quick weight loss programs are not the answer. Make the commitment today to start transforming your body. Springtime is a good time to start because many things around us are starting to come to life again. Take advantage of the momentum.

Eat Quality Calories to Control Weight Gain

Eat quality calories to help control your caloric intake and weight gain. Part of changing your eating habits is <a href="http://healthhut.mikegeary1.hop.clickbank.net/?pid=240">learning "what to eat."</a> This might require you to clean out the pantry and start over. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHxeUEOvuSi1GodnwetTMIrdvlkjcdX7VnxT9jZBSRfEQs8D6xa43GvPCuJKep8tUTltSVeLHtyRKyLshZMIRdW5mmVVBTRdvBbUdHtC847je5stuInA_XcgdCJ_xuPw9icvh1GAX0_bAf/s1600/Cherries.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHxeUEOvuSi1GodnwetTMIrdvlkjcdX7VnxT9jZBSRfEQs8D6xa43GvPCuJKep8tUTltSVeLHtyRKyLshZMIRdW5mmVVBTRdvBbUdHtC847je5stuInA_XcgdCJ_xuPw9icvh1GAX0_bAf/s320/Cherries.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> Here are some tips to help you eat quality calories: 1. Control your eating with a meal plan and food journal. You might have to keep a food journal for a week until you get used to eating the right way. One way to eat quality calories is to "eat your calories" instead of "drinking your calories." When you eat food, you have more satiety and you are more likely to take in fewer calories. 2. Junk food, like chips, donuts and sodas, aren't nutritious and have loads of calories. They also have you wanting to eat more in just a short time, loading up on the calories. 3. Pack your lunches and snacks instead of eating out at work. If you eat at a restaurant for dinner, check out the menu online so you know what to order. Most restaurants now have a "healthy foods" menu. 4. Another way to control <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/2007/10/caloric-deficit-is-needed-over-time-to.html">caloric intake</a> is to eat more water-based, protein and fibrous foods. You will stay fuller for a longer period of time. It will also help you eat more while eating fewer calories. You would basically focus on foods such as fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grain pastas, brown rice, nuts, fish, soups, salad greens, lean beef and skinless white chicken/turkey. 5. To help you drink fewer sugary drinks, drink about half an ounce of water for every pound of your body weight every day. So, if you weigh 140 pounds, drink at least 70 ounces of water a day. If you workout, drink even more water (a cup of water for every 15 minutes of exercise). The old rule still applies: consistently maintaining a <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/2007/10/caloric-deficit-is-needed-over-time-to.html">caloric surplus</a> (consume more calories than you burn) will cause you to gain weight. Hopefully a diet high in water content will cause you to consume fewer calories while providing all the nutrition you need. <a href="http://healthhut.mikegeary1.hop.clickbank.net/?pid=248">Eat These 3 Foods to Burn More Belly Fat</a> Mark Dilworth, BA, PES <a href="http://yourfitnessuniversity.com/">Your Fitness University</a> <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/">My Fitness Hut</a> <a href="http://herfitnesshut.com/">Her Fitness Hut</a> <a href="http://sportsfitnesshut.blogspot.com/">Sports Fitness Hut</a> <a href="http://rapidfatlossandsixpackabs.com/">Rapid Fat Loss and Six Pack Abs</a>

Top 5 Fat Burning Strength Exercises

To burn fat and sculpt your body, you must build muscle mass. That's the only way to transform your body to lean and toned. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr8KlNbVkPuqooMlbKIuqmvm13eJAS4nmP4hFDxyvLEW8tpuJUcyvdg6CRpyNSW_yPMsup3sNZxUVK11QTAAEOoFve4HuljgOMsAxtbeyUIMP4zF6-j0RAOkvF835RCsVGxeMmlwrTxrgu/s1600/weights.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr8KlNbVkPuqooMlbKIuqmvm13eJAS4nmP4hFDxyvLEW8tpuJUcyvdg6CRpyNSW_yPMsup3sNZxUVK11QTAAEOoFve4HuljgOMsAxtbeyUIMP4zF6-j0RAOkvF835RCsVGxeMmlwrTxrgu/s320/weights.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> You want your strength exercises to primarily build muscle, burn fat, improve bone density and sculpt your body. One way to build muscle mass is through heavy weight lifting. “Heavy” is relative to your body weight and strength. According to the research, doing this type of weight lifting will give you exercise-induced testosterone increases. Of course, this will help you build muscle mass. <a href="http://sportsfitnesshut.blogspot.com/p/how-to-knock-20-years-off-body.html#.Uht7DNK-2uI">Free Report: How to Knock 20 Years Off Your Body</a>. You will learn the top ways to naturally increase your testosterone levels. So, how much weight is heavy enough? Your repetition range for exercises should be between 3-5 (you would have a difficult time lifting these repetitions). You would typically do 4-5 sets of each exercise. Strength exercises for <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/2009/04/reach-fat-loss-goals-with-willpower-and_02.html">fat loss</a> should focus on maximizing your time at the gym. Build more muscle mass to speed up your <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/2008/04/your-metabolism-and-fat-loss-part-1.html">metabolism</a> and burn more fat. To recruit more muscle fibers during workouts and improve your success, focus more on multi-joint or compound exercises. Compound exercises will help you burn more fat because you are working large muscle groups in your body. You will also burn more calories after your workout. Examples of single-joint exercises are biceps curl, seated calf raise, leg extension, leg curl and triceps pushdowns. Spend less of your time on these exercises. Women can also do this type of training without fear of bulking up too much! Here are my Top 5 strength exercises to enhance fat loss: 1. <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/2007/03/squat-dont-exercise-without-it.html">Squats</a> - Bodyweight, dumbbell, bulgarian, one-legged or barbell....do your squats! 2. One-Arm Dumbbell Rows - If you're trying to build up back muscles and burn back fat, bentover dumbbells rows should be in your routine. Bentover dumbbell rows allow you to work your lats using heavier weights. Your lower back will be worked more if you row with both arms at the same time. You will also work your obliques in the process. 3. Pullups - The pullup is not just a back muscle exercise. Pullups work your lats (and other back muscles), core, shoulders, arms, chest, biceps and improve grip strength. That's why you should be doing pullups! 4. Dumbbell Chest Press on Ball - Doing the chest press on the ball forces you to balance while lifting. Each arm also has to do equal work. Regular bench press is always an option. 5. Standing Barbell or Dumbbell Shoulder Press - Doing an exercise on your feet (closed-chain) activates more muscles and that's what you want. The standing shoulder press will not only work your shoulders and arms but will also activate your core muscles. And, since you are standing, your lower body also has to do some work. Build major muscle mass and watch your body begin to sculpt like never before!

Burn Fat Quicker with Metabolic Training

If you want to burn fat at a quicker rate, try metabolic training. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjngiAnFGGOcIofSNMsO4hxmDY_xGwGbVhndLRV-GVJf8qRENlH5OSBueBimfYbbssgGilzo7ZXYGekP8HUsAATVght_fJVuqMjZiJJlgkQbPfp0c1VmHFRhkbriTYwe93mqlY4g8VIg564/s1600/weight+loss.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjngiAnFGGOcIofSNMsO4hxmDY_xGwGbVhndLRV-GVJf8qRENlH5OSBueBimfYbbssgGilzo7ZXYGekP8HUsAATVght_fJVuqMjZiJJlgkQbPfp0c1VmHFRhkbriTYwe93mqlY4g8VIg564/s320/weight+loss.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> You will <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/2010/05/burn-fat-exercising-major-muscle-groups.html">burn fat</a> sooner and get in peak condition. You will make improvements in resting heart rate, strength, muscle mass, cardiac output and blood volume. Your body fat will definitely decrease at a faster rate. Metabolic training is an advanced form of high intensity exercise (strength circuits and interval cardio circuits). Metabolic training is a popular and effective method for sports teams. If you play on a rec league basketball, soccer or flag football team, metabolic training would be ideal. You would also lessen your chances of injury. Many weekend warriors get hurt because they aren't in condition to play a sport at full speed. If you play in a flag football league, your metabolic training could be set up to mirror the passing plays found in a 4 quarter game. Sprints, shuttles, jogging and rest periods could be used to metabolically train your body. The goal is for you to be physically fit to play your sport without injury. As for metabolic resistance training, you want your strength circuits to be set up to last no more than 30 minutes. High intensity-type exercises are ideal for metabolic resistance training. Choose exercises that help you live and play the way you want....so, exercises like squat jumps, lunges, step ups, sprints, shuttles, jump rope, pushups, rows and presses all work. Start burning more fat and transforming your body.

Weight Loss Information You Need

Fat loss and weight loss success starts with getting the right information. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHBpsAJZXirkAqBVqNLizRM-EpzFmVWqralYvMzOpsgqUCWQvtk_2N4Ri0lrSu1-gsm3SJ_9VYRdW7expnqb2K7fbKjgM0EU0YyF_OMLc0MMAm9UeCaM6q3RXL52TVGlWTN_R4MnIViF_k/s1600/14+Day+Fat+Loss2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHBpsAJZXirkAqBVqNLizRM-EpzFmVWqralYvMzOpsgqUCWQvtk_2N4Ri0lrSu1-gsm3SJ_9VYRdW7expnqb2K7fbKjgM0EU0YyF_OMLc0MMAm9UeCaM6q3RXL52TVGlWTN_R4MnIViF_k/s320/14+Day+Fat+Loss2.jpg" width="213" /></a></div> You MUST know what to do, when to do it and how to do it. Once you have the right information to achieve fat loss and weight loss, you MUST work hard, persevere and make no excuses. How many times have you followed your meal plan and exercise program all week and then blown it on the weekend by going on an eating binge? Staying on your fat loss track through all the events of life can sometimes throw you off kilter. Are you still doing the same poorly designed workouts and getting the same "little or no success results" from your workouts? This can leave you feeling OVERWHELMED AND READY TO GIVE UP! And, if you haven't yet figured out how you need to be eating, you need a meal plan to follow. It takes more than just working out...if you burn 500 calories during a workout and later eat 800 calories, you are just "spinning your wheels" and not making progress. Are you worth the time and effort it takes to manage your fat loss and weight loss?

Cut Calories by Eating More Protein

Eat protein with every meal. It will help you cut calories without feeling hungry because you are eating enough. And, it will help your fat loss and weight loss efforts. One of the knocks on fad diets is that you feel like you're starving most of the time. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmv137TY6g_8uQOBXztSQBdhW7qi-MjPTGciy1CAsVVNl-58fmFHNGSgFJZWAY-xrIhWMGVRPTl9K27ZXqewlbtr_d0__LUpqaK7U_2_qyYoBfqdIy-PNM7_7doTgGWqDlr3_PxrJK71Qf/s1600/protein+in+food.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="256" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmv137TY6g_8uQOBXztSQBdhW7qi-MjPTGciy1CAsVVNl-58fmFHNGSgFJZWAY-xrIhWMGVRPTl9K27ZXqewlbtr_d0__LUpqaK7U_2_qyYoBfqdIy-PNM7_7doTgGWqDlr3_PxrJK71Qf/s320/protein+in+food.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> For example, a study published in Nutrition Research shows that a breakfast including eggs reduces hunger pangs and decreases calorie intake for the rest of the day. It takes your body longer to digest protein, so you will fill fuller for a longer period of time by eating more foods rich in protein By the way, eating whole eggs (both whites and yolks) will not harm your health. Eggs have taken a bad rap in the past. I would recommend you eat eggs from free-range chickens. They are healthier and taste better. Its a good idea to get full on protein foods first. It will help you eat less of the condiments and other high-fat foods. You will find yourself eating healthier overall when you load up on foods like eggs, nuts, turkey, chicken, fish, etc. Protein also helps control your blood sugar levels if you happen to eat carbohydrates with your meal. Protein is used by your body to repair and rebuild damaged tissues as a result of a tough workout (especially weight training). Quickly digesting protein shakes work well after a workout. Other daytime and nighttime meals could be comprised of slowly digesting protein (such as lean meats) that will give a constant release of amino acids into your system during the day and overnight. So, when used right, protein will help you cut calories and build a lean body. <a href="http://healthhut.mikegeary1.hop.clickbank.net/?pid=248">Eat These 3 Foods to Burn More Belly Fat</a> Mark Dilworth, BA, PES <a href="http://yourfitnessuniversity.com/">Your Fitness University</a> <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/">My Fitness Hut</a> <a href="http://herfitnesshut.com/">Her Fitness Hut</a> <a href="http://sportsfitnesshut.blogspot.com/">Sports Fitness Hut</a> <a href="http://rapidfatlossandsixpackabs.com/">Rapid Fat Loss and Six Pack Abs</a>
