5 Reasons NOT to Use Fat Burn Supplements

You don't need fat burn supplements to <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/p/14-day-fat-loss-program.html#.Ue414tLqmuI">burn body fat and lean out your body.</a> These fat burn supplements either do not work or will only give you a short-term boost at best. Some of these supplements could harm your health. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbCLECzfqcDMZVpoIJEedCJLW51NQoZ48CRp_6wxn2DAswgInAF3FDfOJe3bmEdGknurf4Hi6mlsgvGx9ZbgRpXHx8dSq0tdYKJW1gPgBRfj4m2BDoi8gA9UhY9nyIbFMbpQ4LVcUJ1HNI/s1600/Supplements.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbCLECzfqcDMZVpoIJEedCJLW51NQoZ48CRp_6wxn2DAswgInAF3FDfOJe3bmEdGknurf4Hi6mlsgvGx9ZbgRpXHx8dSq0tdYKJW1gPgBRfj4m2BDoi8gA9UhY9nyIbFMbpQ4LVcUJ1HNI/s320/Supplements.jpg" width="320" /></a> Here are 5 Reasons NOT to use fat burn supplements to burn fat and shape your body: 1. Make frequent changes to your workout program. Here are some examples: ---vary the workout intensity, repetitions and rest periods ---change the duration of your workouts ---change your exercise routine (try new exercises) every 1-2 weeks ---use different methods such as supersets, circuits and blasts ---use very little machine weight exercises and cardio machine routines (machines do too much work for you) You don't have to workout for hours per session to get huge fat loss results. Shorten your weight training workouts to 50 minutes or less and ramp up the intensity. Shorten your interval cardio workouts to 20 minutes. Research has proven that <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/2011/07/short-bursts-burn-fat-faster.html">short bursts are very effective fat burners.</a> Do as many compound strength exercises (with weights or bodyweight) standing up as possible. These types of exercises work major muscle groups and many times are full-body strength exercises. Squats, deadlift, lunges, standing bentover rows, squat-to curl-to press and bench press are great examples. Full-body core exercises like planks and side planks work well also. Spend less time posing on "mirror exercises" like bicep curls, calf raises and tricep extensions. 2. Shorten and intensify your interval cardio workout. Too many long, slow cardio sessions wastes time and eats away at your muscle mass. Short, intense interval cardio sessions also burn more fat and calories during and after your workout. Some examples of good interval cardio exercises are: --sprints on the ground (flat or incline) --jumping jacks --squat jumps --stair stepper --bodyweight exercises 3. Make needed changes to your eating habits. Its possible to have layers of fat on top of your muscles. Eat whole, natural foods. And, track your calories in a journal until you have a good idea of how you need to eat to burn fat. Don't ruin great workouts by eating bad food with a million calories. It will be easier to eat right if you plan your meals for the week. And, instead of eating out during the day, pack your food. This will protect you from binge eating and haphazard eating (i.e. grazing). 4. Take your fat loss to a higher level with jump (plyometric) exercises and workouts. If you're having trouble sculpting your butt, hips and thighs, try more plyometric training. Plyometric workouts are advanced workouts. You need to perfect jumping and landing techniques or you will injure yourself. And, if you have knee and low back problems, high-speed plyometric training is not for you. Effective fat burners are jump rope, squat jumps, lunge jumps, depth jumps, jumping jacks, tuck jumps, side-to-side hops and front-to-back hops. 5. Build a healthy body with a long-term commitment to healthy eating, regular workouts and healthy lifestyle choices. That's the bottom line. Get started with the intent to never stop. This gives you the best chance to live a longer, healthier life. Use these fat burners to lean out your body and keep the weight off. <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/p/14-day-fat-loss-program.html#.Ue414tLqmuI">Be sure and download your FREE 14-Day Accelerated Fat Loss Program from My Fitness Hut</a> and start burning fat and building your lean body!

5 Drinks to Help You Lose Weight

Don't drink your calories. Instead drink these low-calorie drink options. By Reader's Digest Editors The secret to losing weight isn’t just watching what’s on your plate; it’s also about watching what’s in your glass. Popular soft drinks, fruit juices, and energy drinks can be loaded with added sugars and carbohydrates that can sabotage your weight-loss strategy. Here are five tasty ways to drink up without packing on the pounds. 1. Water We all know this one, but it’s important to remember that water is the single best choice for effective weight loss. Whether it’s still or sparkling, aim to make water your go-to beverage choice. Think water is boring? Try adding fresh lemon slices, lime, cucumber, and even a slice of tomato to add flavor without adding many calories. 2. Vegetable juice Whether in a can, bottled, or homemade, vegetable juice is an excellent way to get the fiber and nutrients your body needs to fuel your weight loss. If you can find a low-sodium variety, even better. The veggies will keep you fuller longer and the tangy flavor will keep your taste buds happy. 3. Unsweetened tea Green tea has been proven to help boost metabolism and speed up weight loss. Try it hot or iced with a bit of honey for a low-sugar sweet drink. Don’t forget black and oolong teas, too! Both are filled with antioxidants, which can help rid your body of toxins. 4. Black coffee A morning cup of joe or an afternoon iced coffee can help spur your weight loss by providing a boost of caffeine that suppresses hunger. Also, coffee has been shown to stimulate thermogenesis, which heats up the body and boosts metabolism. Just be careful about what you add to your coffee — stick to skim milk and very little sugar. 5. Skim milk Milk is an excellent source of lean protein, vitamin D, and calcium that can help build your muscles and keep your bones strong. Opt for low-fat or skim milk for all of the vitamins without the added fat. If you are feeling indulgent, add a little chocolate — low-fat chocolate milk is a great option for post-workout muscle recovery.

Lose Weight without Feeling Hungry

“I need to lose weight but I’m sick of feeling hungry all the time,” is a common statement made by individuals who follow fly-by-night diets. If your diet leaves your stomach rumbling every hour on the hour, it’s time to make a change. I used to think that losing weight meant starving. It took me a while to accept the fact that I could actually eat heartily and still drop weight. The time I spent starving in the name of losing weight was miserable. When I did manage to shed a few pounds, I would gain it all back in a matter of weeks. Sometimes I’d even gain a few extra pounds. Talk about depressing! What I learned through years of research (and trial and error) is that when you follow a healthy eating plan, you can chow down until you’re full, and still see amazing weight loss results. What Are Healthy Foods? Healthy foods are not created in a factory or processed to death. If the food is dried, canned, frozen or filled with ingredients you can’t pronounce, stay away from it. Examples of healthy foods include fresh fish, naturally raised meats, legumes, seeds, organic poultry, organic whole eggs, raw nuts, and fresh fruit and vegetables. How to Make Healthy Meals More Filling There’s nothing more dismal than dealing with hunger pangs all day. If your meals aren’t satisfying you, this is exactly what’s going to happen. Here are some tricks to make your meals more filling: --Add a source of quality protein and a source healthy fat (yes, fat) to each of your meals. Doing this makes meals more satiating and curbs hunger. Sources of healthy protein include natural meats, organic whole eggs, organic poultry and fish. Sources of healthy fat include avocados, fish, beans, raw nuts, coconut oil and olive oil. --Load your plate with veggies. It helps to divide your plate into three sections and fill the larger section with veggies. Leave the other two sections for meat and other foods. Veggies are full of fiber, so they expand in the stomach, digest slowly and keep you full longer. --Drink a glass of water before each meal and throughout the day. This will help you feel full faster and reduce hunger. Examples of Healthy, Filling Meals and Snacks --Breakfast: 2 scrambled eggs, 1/3 cup of oatmeal with cinnamon and a small pear. --Snack: 1 medium apple, 1 cup of cucumber slices and 1 oz of raw nuts. --Lunch: 4 oz ground turkey, 1/2 cup of cooked brown rice, 8 oz carrot sticks, and a small green salad with vinegar and olive oil dressing. --Snack: 2 tablespoons of almond butter, 2 slices of rye crisp bread and 8 oz of celery sticks. --Dinner: 5 oz broiled halibut steak, 1/2 cup of green beans sautéed in garlic, small baked sweet potato and a small green salad with apple cider vinegar and olive oil dressing. Diet plans that leave you hungry all the time (or even some of the time) are evil. Why not scrap the diet altogether and eat healthy instead? If you do it this way, you can eat delicious, filling foods and still lose weight. <a href="http://www.beyonddiet.com">Isabel De Los Rios</a> is a nutrition expert you should check out now!

10 Tips to Transform Your Body from Fat to Lean

I work with clients every day to help them reach their goals. It doesn't matter if the goals are weight loss, weight gain or sport specific---many times the clients' goals are hindered by "something else" going on in their lives. Of course, the ultimate goal is for you to have a healthy, lean body and not just weight loss. Optimal health involves making lifestyle changes to improve your: a. health b. fitness c. energy levels d. quality of life This takes hard work and many adjustments along the way. Here are 10 Steps you can take today toward a healthier body: 1. Have the right attitude. Negativity affects every thing you do in life. Always look for the best in every situation and get rid of the "negative vampires" in your life. Hang around positive people. We all need all the help we can get. As it relates to health, an attitude such as, "I will do whatever it takes to have the best health and body," will always lead to positive changes. 2. What motivates you to get healthier? Having the right motivation will help keep your attitude positive. In a 2008 Men's Health Magazine article, it list 5 different motivations that you can have for losing weight. Many times, New Year's fitness resolutions die by the end of February because you had the wrong motivation for working out. Here they are: a) AMOTIVATION - You don't really have a reason to work out. Its more of a fad for you. Your workouts won't last long. b) EXTERNAL REGULATION - You're motivated to workout because other people like the way you look when you're in shape, but no internal motivation exist. How long do you think you'll be able to please people? Then what will motivate you? c)INTROJECTED REGULATION - You feel bad about yourself when you don't workout. This is a type of motivation, but its based on negative motivations. d) IDENTIFIED REGULATION - You workout because its good for your health and lifestyle. This is a very positive behavior and will lead to permanent lifestyle changes. e) INTRINSIC MOTIVATION - You workout because you enjoy it! Probably the best motivation of all. In my opinion, a combination of the motivations listed in items "c" through "e" lead to permanent lifestyle changes (with heavier weight attached to items "d" and "e"). And, the motivation listed in item "b" will probably be mixed in somehow. Did you find yourself anywhere in this motivation list? 3. Do you have limiting behaviors? Are you sabotaging your health, fat loss and weight loss efforts? For example, if you are trying to break bad eating habits, why do you keep junk food and sugary foods in your kitchen pantry? If its there, you will eat it. You have to believe you can change and really want to change. 4. Healthy, managed nutrition is critical for a healthy body. You need a meal plan you can maintain over time. Fad diets and starvation diets cannot be maintained. You quickly regain the weight when you begin to eat regularly. The primary cause of weight gain is consistent calorie surpluses, or eating more daily calories than you burn. A slow metabolism is not the main cause of weight gain. Add healthy foods to your menu that you like. You are more likely to stay with a menu loaded with foods you like. Replace the foods that are bad for you with whole, natural foods. This eliminates foods in a box or bag. <a href="http://healthhut.mikegeary1.hop.clickbank.net/?pid=248" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Eat These 3 Foods to Burn More Belly Fat</a> Set your daily calorie intake based on your basal metabolic rate, your activity level and your goals. This way, you won't eat too much or too little. Maintaining the right amount of calorie deficit on most days (burning more calories than you consume) is the key to burning fat and losing weight. I don't recommend any diet that omits one of the macronutrients (carbohydrates, protein, fat). Your body's metabolism needs all 3 macronutrients to work efficiently. Control your hunger during the day so you don't overeat when you do eat. Do this by eating small meals every 3-4 hours to keep your energy and metabolism active. 5. Regular strength training and interval cardio sessions are a must if you want to change your body. Fat loss is more important than weight loss. When you continue to build muscle mass and burn fat, your body will change to lean and toned. This will also speed up your metabolism because your body has to work harder to maintain muscle mass. A faster metabolism helps you burn more calories during the day, during workouts and at rest. This is the main key to help keep you from regaining weight. 6. Adopt an active lifestyle. Walk as much as possible every day. The health-related benefits are numerous when you remain active on most days. So, if you have a "sit-down" job, I would recommend that you move more. 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. 7. You can be skinny and still be fat and unhealthy. If you just lose weight without exercise, your body has not changed to lean. And, this can lead to yo-yo weight loss and weight regain. From a Mayo Clinic article by Katherine Zeratsky, R.D., L.D., “Can you be considered obese if you have a normal body weight?” it states: “Yes. You can have a normal weight, but if your body fat percentage is high enough, you may be considered obese — a situation known as normal weight obesity. Normal weight obesity means you may have the same serious health risks as does someone who's obese. Obesity is defined as having an excessive amount of body fat — not as weighing too much.” Katherine explains the dangers of depending on body mass index (BMI) to determine your risks for health related problems such as heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, abnormal cholesterol level and metabolic syndrome. 8. Practice weight management. On the surface, it is a simple process---if you do it day in and day out. When you reach weight loss goals, you have to manage your new body to remain successful. In other words, keep working out and eating right! According to Christopher Sciamanna, M.D., the problem comes with what you do after the diet. Sciamanna discovered this the hard way: After losing 30 pounds, he described his new, lower weight as "shockingly challenging" to maintain. He and his colleagues at Penn State University's Milton S. Hershey Medical Center decided to study weight loss maintenance. Part of their study was to examine results found at the National Weight Control Registry (NWCR). For the past two decades, NWCR has focused on a single group of people. To qualify, they have to lose at least 30 pounds and keep the weight off for at least a year. The findings aren’t surprising. The participants were successful primarily because of the following habits: --Exercise at least an hour a day, almost every day --Follow a low-fat, low-sugar, low-calorie diet --Eat, more or less, the same foods all the time --Minimize TV watching --Eat breakfast 9. Healthy lifestyle habits produce a healthier body. This is a no-brainer. If you get adequate nightly sleep, limit excessive stress, don't smoke, limit excessive alcohol consumption, exercise regularly and eat healthy you will have a healthier body. Practice these type of healthy habits on most days. Here's a quick healthy habit you can do today: drink enough water. Your body is about two-thirds water. Drink water and unsweetened drinks (like tea) most of the time. It will help you eat less and help your body function better. Drink about half your weight in water every day. So, if you weigh 160 pounds, drink 80 ounces of water each day. Remember, certain foods contain large amounts of water. This counts toward your water intake. For instance watermelon is about 90% water and lettuce has about 95% water. Some meats contain as much as 70% water. Water also helps your body flex muscles, remove wastes, cushion joints, carry nutrients and oxygen to your cells and helps convert food into energy (although water doesn't provide energy). You may be experiencing dehydration if you have dry lips/mouth, dizziness, headache, nausea or muscle cramps. When you exercise, drink about a cup of water every 15 minutes. 10. You may need professional advice in certain areas of your life. A personal trainer can help you visualize success and individualize your fat loss and nutrition program. Its hard to change your body all by yourself. You may also need help with things such as depression. And a full physical exam will show you where your health stands. You can start taking positive steps today to improve your health. Don't procrastinate! <a href="http://healthhut.mikegeary1.hop.clickbank.net/?pid=248" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">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>

Sugar - The Fat Promoter and Drug

by Yuri Elkaim, BPHE, CK, RHN Author, <a href="http://healthhut.mp3trainer.hop.clickbank.net/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Eating for Energy</a> The average person in North America consumes 150 lbs of <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/p/body-detox-scams.html#.UfjmHdLqmuI">refined sugar per year!</a> This is astronomical in contrast to the 5 lbs per year consumed by the average person at the turn of the 20th century. Sugar, especially in its refined state, has many detrimental effects on the body. First and foremost, it is highly acid-forming. This means that sugar consumption throws off your pH balance so that your blood and other important become more acidic. The more acidic your body becomes, the greater the likelihood for disease to flourish. Arthritis, asthma, headaches, psoriasis, cancer, stomach gas, intestinal gas, osteoporosis, heart disease, weight gain, PMS, candidiasis, tooth decay, multiple sclerosis, inflammatory bowel disease, cancer sores, cataracts, gallstones, kidney stones, and cystic fibrosis are all diseases and conditions that are negatively affected by the intake of sugar. Sugar - The Fat Promoter and Drug When you <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/p/body-detox-scams.html#.UfjmHdLqmuI">consume sugar,</a> insulin is released from the pancreas, causing your muscle and liver cells to take up glucose from the blood and store it. A diet that includes lots of refined sugar goes hand in hand with mood swings. When blood sugar is abnormally high, as it is when sugar is ingested, the sugar acts like a drug, and you become elated. But once insulin packs the sugar away into the cells, your mood begins to head south and your brain signals that more sugar is needed to regain the high. This is exactly when you find yourself reaching for that chocolate bar or sugary treat. When a low-sugar diet is consumed, you will find your moods are even throughout the day, and your body will actually tap into fat as a source of fuel, a process that stops the second you eat something sugary. Since toxins are stored in fat, this is something you want to get rid of! Sugar = Toxic Acid <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/p/body-detox-scams.html#.UfjmHdLqmuI">Excessive sugar consumption</a> throws your body’s pH levels out of balance. The sugar, and the acidity that it creates, provides an internal environment that is ripe for the overgrowth of dangerous yeasts, fungi, and bacteria - ultimately making it much harder for you to lose weight and maintain optimal health. In turn, these nasty little critters feed on the sugar, multiply, and expel toxic wastes that make you feel and look even worse. Because these critters feed on sugar, your body begins to crave more sugar in the form of sweets, breads, pastas, and so forth. You end up feeding these microorganisms and fuel their growth, placing additional toxicity acid into your body. As this vicious cycle continues not only do you feed these toxin-producing microorganisms but you also intake huge amounts of calorie-rich, nutrient void, sugar-laden foods. Over time, an excess intake of calories through sugar obviously leads to weight gain (considering everything else remains equal). The other aspect of sugar that increases toxicity is the fact that as you fuel more and more of these “bad” microorganisms, the toxins they expel create more acid in your blood and pose added stress on your liver. Since excess acid in the blood will eventually be <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/p/body-detox-scams.html#.UfjmHdLqmuI">stored in fat cells,</a> it is imperative that you reduce the acid load in your body - if you want to lose weight and achieve great health. Only once you rid your body of excess acid and restore its proper pH balance will you be able to shed excess fat. If fat isn’t needed to store acid, then it can more readily be metabolized. Make sense? Similarly, if your liver becomes stressed and compromised as a result of having to filter tons of toxins floating through your blood, your weight loss attempts will be in vain. This is because the liver is not only the body’s major filter but it also regulates sugar and fat metabolism. If your liver is not functioning properly then its ability to metabolize sugar and fats will also be compromised. Elevated blood sugar and blood lipid levels are usually the result. Sugar is a Now a Processed Food Ingredient The manner in which <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/p/body-detox-scams.html#.UfjmHdLqmuI">sugar is processed</a> exacerbates the problem. More than 60 chemicals are used in the processing of natural sugarcane’s thick beige stalks into the fine, white granular table sugar that we’re all to familiar with. Many of these chemicals, including bleaches and deodorizes, are still present in the final product. At same time, the naturally occurring minerals and vitamins in the sugarcane plant are completely removed. One such mineral is chromium. Chromium is a critical player in your body’s ability to uptake sugar from the blood and into the cells. The fact that chromium is not present in refined sugar poses a serious problem for sugar uptake and metabolism, which imposes further stress on your body’s ability to burn fat and control blood sugar effectively. Sugar Upsets the Mineral Balance in Your Body There are so many reasons that sugar is bad news that simply it’s impossible to go through all of them right now. But one reason we will hit on is the fact that sugar can single-handedly impair the mineral balance in your body. Researchers have found that ingesting sugar increases the rate at which we excrete calcium. Essentially, calcium is removed from the bones, teeth, and tissues to neutralize the consumption of acidic sugary treats! Since minerals work in relation to one another, when you consume sugar, you are starting the dominoes falling. And it’s not just the refined table sugar that is the problem. In fact, the majority of our sugar intake comes from hidden and unexpected sources such as processed and packaged foods. Sugar is used as an additive in foods ranging from meat to ketchup to salt. In packaged foods sugar can take the form of glucose, dextrose, sucrose, or the ever-present high-fructose corn syrup. The major concern is that sugar provides no real nutritional value, while wreaking havoc on your blood sugar levels (promoting diabetes and weight gain) and leading to excess caloric consumption. It suppresses the immune system, disrupts normal mineral relationships, compromises the health of your vital organs, and keeps your body incredibly toxic. Obviously, you must not only eliminate sugar from your diet, but also avoid other antinutrients such as alcohol, sweeteners, caffeine, rancid fats, drugs, and food additives and colourings to ensure your immune functioning is up to par. Of course, you must also eat a diet full of fresh, whole, colourful, and nutritious fruits and vegetables! Don't waste money on detox pills, detox supplements and detox potions that will not work.

Toxicity and Acidosis are Serious Problems

by Yuri Elkaim, BPHE, CK, RHN and Amy Coates, BSc., RHN There are many conditions that are created when the body is in a constant <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/p/body-detox-scams.html#.UfjmHdLqmuI">state of acidosis:</a> • Poor digestion, absorption, and elimination, • Cardiovascular disease, including cardiovascular plaque and the inability of the blood to carry oxygen to your cells, • Diabetes, • Allergies and skin problems such as eczema, psoriasis, asthma, acne, and dry, oily and/or itchy skin etc.., • Kidney problems such as infections and kidney stones, • Immunodeficiency, • Free radical damage and cancer, • Hormonal imbalances, • Premature aging and death (just look at the complexion of a smoker!), • Weak and brittle bones, joint pains, sore muscles and lactic acid build-up, • Chronic fatigue syndrome, • Chronic yeast infections and fungal overgrowth Scary, isn’t it? When you eat a diet that is predominantly packaged and fast foods, you are throwing your body way out of balance. Over <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/p/body-detox-scams.html#.UfjmHdLqmuI">toxicity in your body</a> will weaken each and every system in your body, clogging your organs of detoxification and making you feel unwell. When your detoxification organs are clogged, acidity will pool up in the body. How does this happen? Well, when you eat a poor diet, over the years your body reaches what is know as its “toxic load.” In the beginning stages of toxicity, most of the symptoms will not be visible to the naked eye, so if you have not yet seen any symptoms, it doesn’t mean you don’t have any! Where does all this acid end up? Your fat cells! Fat cells are your body’s way of storing excess energy and toxicity. For example, if your diet is very high in sugar, and therefore very high in acid, your body will do whatever it can to pull that acid away from your vital organs and into your fat cells. This is a defense mechanism used by your body to protect its precious organs and delicate tissues. But storing fat is not the only way that your body deals with excess acid, so if you are thin it doesn’t mean that you are healthy! In fact, it may mean that you are in even more danger because your entire body is in a chronic state of acidosis which means that your body is being destroyed from the inside out! Don't waste money on detox pills, detox supplements and detox potions that will not work. Instead.......

Second, don't spend any more money on fat loss and weight loss pills. You don't need those supplements either. And finally, forget about quick weight loss programs. They don't work long-term and that's why they are called quick. This is what you need to do to <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/p/14-day-fat-loss-program.html#.Ue414tLqmuI">burn total body fat:</a> 1. Start a healthy meal plan filled with whole, natural foods. Fruits, vegetables, lean meats, low-fat diary products and whole grains fit the bill. Severely limit sugars, fast foods, processed foods and foods in a box or bag. Base your daily caloric intake on your basal metabolic rate, your daily activity and your goals. This way, you won't eat too much or too little (severe calorie restriction). You need to maintain a caloric deficit on most days to burn fat and lose weight consistently. 2. Drink only water and unsweetened drinks most of the time. Drink about half your body weight in ounces every day. So, if you weigh 150 pounds, drink at least 75 ounces of water every day. This will improve your health and help with weight loss. 3. Start building muscle mass and burning fat at the same time. You must change your body's composition to more muscle and less fat. This will speed up your metabolism and help you burn more calories every day. You don't need to be a body builder but you need to burn the fat (to an acceptable body fat percentage) on your body and build muscle mass. And, you must do more than cardio exercise to change your body's composition. "Cardio only" will not lean out your body. Your body will also shrink because muscle takes up less space than fat. Over time, you will begin to lose weight and the weight will stay off. Do full body circuit strength training 3 times a week, about 30-40 minutes a session. When you get really good at it, 20-minute strength training sessions will be enough to get the job done. 4. I recommend doing interval cardio sessions (about 20 minutes a session) 2-3 times a week. Sprint interval cardio works best, especially on inclines on grass. Bodyweight exercise interval cardio also works well. You might have to work up to being able to do 20-minute interval cardio sessions. If you are doing 60-minute cardio sessions, don't. It is wasting your time and precious muscle mass. 5. If you have stubborn fat areas like lower ab fat, you can do extra strength exercises on cardio days to address those areas. Aim to burn total body fat first and local area fat second.

Your Checklist to Lower Cholesterol

<a href="http://www.lisanelsonrd.com/">By Lisa Nelson, RD, LN</a> Here's a checklist of the top steps you must take if you want to successfully lower your cholesterol and keep it low. Know your numbers Have you had a lipid profile? Do you understand the numbers? If you are going to successfully lower cholesterol you need to know your numbers and what they mean. The most effective way to raise HDL is not necessarily the best way to lower LDL. Evaluate your lifestyle There are risk factors for high cholesterol that you cannot control, such as age, gender, and family history, but there are factors you can control. For example, you can reduce risk by not smoking, increasing your activity, and losing extra weight. Balance your fats Reduce unhealthy saturated fats in your diet and replace them with heart healthy unsaturated fats. Total fat intake should be 30% or less of your total daily calories. Out of this 30%, saturated fat should be limited to 7%. Be active Physical activity lowers triglycerides and raises HDL (good) cholesterol. Shoot for 30 minutes 5 or more days a week. If you are not currently active, check with your MD before beginning an activity program. Eliminate trans fats You need to be food label savvy and watch out for trans fats. Trans fats raise LDL (bad) cholesterol, lower HDL (good) cholesterol, and raise triglycerides. Limit trans fats to 1% or less of your daily caloric intake. Understand triglycerides Triglycerides are impacted the most by your simple sugar and alcohol intake. If you are struggling with high triglycerides, you need to take a different approach to get your cholesterol under control. Increase dietary fiber A high fiber diet is necessary for heart health. You need 25-35 grams of dietary fiber daily, especially soluble fiber. For every 1-2 grams of daily soluble fiber intake, LDL (bad) cholesterol is lowered 1%. Add omega 3 fatty acids For heart health and lower cholesterol, you want to improve the ratio of omega 3 to omega 6 fatty acids. Omega 3 fatty acids are involved in the regulation of heart rate, blood pressure, and blood clotting. If you're ready for regular heart health and weight loss tips from dietitian Lisa Nelson, sign up for <a href="http://www.lisanelsonrd.com/">The Heart of Health</a> today and grab your copy of the special report: Stop Wasting Money - Take Control of Your Health!"

Studies Show 5 Proven Tricks to Eat Less Calories

by <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/p/lean-body-and-six-pack-abs.html#.UfUd09LqmuI">Mike Geary,</a> Certified Personal Trainer, Certified Nutrition Specialist Author of best-selling program - <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/p/lean-body-and-six-pack-abs.html#.UfUd09LqmuI">The Truth About Six Pack Abs</a> I found most of these five tricks (that are proven to help you eat less food and less overall calories) while reading a fascinating book recently called 59 Seconds by Richard Wiseman. I think you'll find these very helpful if you're looking to control your caloric intake and reduce your body fat. These tricks were tested in scientific studies and are quick and easy to implement. I thought these were VERY interesting... Trick #1 to Eat Less -- Several studies prove that the size of the bowl, plate, or spoon that you use can directly influence how much food and calories you consume. Richard Wiseman, in the book 59 Seconds, talks about one study conducted where party guests were randomly given either 17 or 34-ounce bowls and 2 or 3 ounce spoons, and allowed to help themselves to ice cream. It was found that the party guests given the large spoons and large bowls had eaten 14% and 31% more ice cream respectively, than the people using the smaller spoons or smaller bowls. Interesting huh! Another study conducted at the University of Pennsylvania used a bowl of M&Ms that were left in the hallway of an apartment building. A sign next to the bowl told people to help themselves to the M&Ms. Some days a tablespoon sized scoop was used in the M&Ms and on other days, a larger scoop was used in the bowl. The researchers found that the larger scoop caused people to take TWICE the amount of M&Ms on average compared to the people that had used the smaller scoop. I've also seen studies referenced in the past that showed that people who used larger plates consumed more calories than those using smaller plates. The lesson -- Use smaller plates, bowls, and silverware and you may inadvertently reduce your calorie intake. This also means saying NO to seconds and thirds! Trick #2 to Eat Less -- You've probably heard before that eating slower can help you to eat less because it gives time for the fullness signal to reach your brain and thereby shut off your appetite before you've eaten too much. However, this study below found a twist on this! According to Mr. Wiseman in the book 59 Seconds, a study at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center had overweight participants eat a meal at 3 different speeds: a) their normal rate b) half their normal rate c) their normal rate at first, followed by half their normal rate (normal-slow combo) The results were interesting... Eating at the slower rate caused the men to eat less, but not the women (that's weird!). However, the 3rd group that combined the normal pace at first with the slower rate after that caused both the men and women to have a large reduction in their appetite and eat less. The normal-slow combo was found to be more effective than just the slow-only group. Why? I have no idea, but those are interesting results! Mr. Wiseman stated that the lesson here to eat less is "to start at your normal speed but then savor each and every mouthful". Trick #3 to Eat Less -- According to the book 59 Seconds, a series of experiments conducted in offices compared putting chocolates right on people's desks vs placing the chocolates six feet away. In another experiment, the chocolates were put inside either transparent or opaque jars. When the chocolates were placed on the person's desk instead of 6 feet away, people ate on average 6 more chocolates per day per person. Also, the chocolates in the transparent jars were eaten 46% more quickly than the opaque jars. Just shows... out of sight, out of mind! As you may already know, I recommend never even having junk food around your house at all...that way, you're never tempted by it and you're forced to only eat healthy foods... but then you can use your weekly cheat meals to eat junk food out at a restaurant. That way the junk food is never in your house to begin with! Trick #4 to Eat Less -- This trick was reported based on a Georgia Tech study. The study essentially found that people tend to subconsciously eat bigger portions of food when their plate is the same color as their food. It seems like an odd association, but remember that a lot of these are always subconscious things that we don't realize are happening. In this particular study, the scientists theorized that less color contrast between plate and food makes our brains work harder to figure out appropriate portion sizes. More color contrast between plate and food would make people eat slightly smaller portions subconsciously. Trick #5 to Eat Less -- Studies have found that people eat significantly more when they are distracted by TV, movies, games, or other distractions. In one experiment mentioned in the book 59 Seconds, people who were more absorbed by a movie ate significantly larger amounts of popcorn compared to those that were paying less attention to the movie. In another experiment, people who actively listened to a detective story during lunch (being distracted by the story), ate 15% more food than those who sat in silence during their lunch. The lesson -- ditch the TV and other distractions and focus on your food! Enjoy every bite of your food and you will naturally consume less calories while enjoying your food more. <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/p/lean-body-and-six-pack-abs.html#.UfUd09LqmuI">Get FREE Training and Nutrition Insider Secrets for a Lean-Body with Six Pack Abs.</a> This ebook, created by Certified Nutrition Specialist & Certified Personal Trainer, Mike Geary, details over 27 specific metabolism-boosting secrets that you can use to strip off your stubborn body fat faster and easier and get your six-pack abs.

7 Fat Loss Tips To Do TODAY

You need to take action now to <a href="http://healthhut.mikegeary1.hop.clickbank.net/?pid=240">burn fat and lose weight</a>--TODAY. The toughest thing to do to get started transforming your body is to GET STARTED! Unless you have a medical or physical limitation, you have NO EXCUSES for putting off exercise and eating better. So, take action and take charge of your health and fitness. No one can do this for you. Note: You may need to get medical clearance before starting an exercise program, especially if you have been inactive. Here are 7 Fat Loss Tips for you to start TODAY: 1. Do something you love. What physical activity do you love? Are you in an "exercise rut?" Forget all the exercise theories and articles. Just get started with an exercise activity you love and do this activity for at least 30 minutes on most days. Before you know it, you will have started exercising regularly again. 2. Here are some things you can start doing today to improve your eating habits: --Drink only water or unsweetened drinks for beverages --Severely limit candy, cookies, pastries, junk food and processed foods --Eat at least one fruit or vegetable with every meal --Eat protein with every meal, such as eggs, fish, nuts or lean chicken/beef/turkey --Eat small meals, every 3-4 hours --Start writing down what and why you eat to hold yourself accountable <a href="http://healthhut.mikegeary1.hop.clickbank.net/?pid=248">Eat These 3 Foods to Burn More Belly Fat</a> 3. Tell a friend about your immediate plan to start getting fit. It helps to have someone hold you accountable and its even better if that person will join you. You need help to accomplish your fat loss and weight loss goals. That could be a trainer, a friend, a spouse or other family member. Research proves that those who have weight loss buddies are more likely to succeed. 4. You are not too busy to exercise. Fit in 15-20 minutes of exercise. Take advantage of "DEAD TIME" during your day and exercise. Twenty minutes of exercise here and 20 minutes of exercise there works just fine. Download your <a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/p/14-day-fat-loss-program.html#.Ue414tLqmuI">FREE 14-Day Accelerated Fat Loss Program from My Fitness Hut</a> if you need guidance. 5. Are you afraid to set goals for fear of not reaching those goals? Since you need to take action, set a temporary goal of "just getting started exercising." You can set an appointment with a trainer to help figure out the rest. 6. You don't have any equipment or a gym membership? No problem. You don't need either one to get started. All you need is your body and a little time. 7. Walk at least 30 minutes every day (even on the days you workout). This will help keep your fat burning enzymes active. As a general rule, walk every where you can instead of riding. All movement burns calories. How will you start exercising and eating better today?

The Glycemic Index and Your Fat Loss

Are you primarily using the glycemic index (GI) to determine what carbohydrates you eat to aid your fat loss? Have you been <a href="http://healthhut.mikegeary1.hop.clickbank.net/?pid=240">successful burning fat?</a> If you have been successful shedding pounds and fat, it is not primarily because you have been eating low glycemic foods. You lose weight and burn fat by maintaining a caloric deficit on most days and engaging in regular strength and interval cardio exercise. So, how does GI help the fat loss process? The GI is important because your body performs best when your blood sugar is kept relatively constant. When blood sugar drops too low, you become listless or experience increased hunger. If it goes too high, your brain signals your pancreas to secrete more insulin. Although insulin will bring your blood sugar back down, it does so primarily by converting the excess sugar to stored fat. For non-diabetics, there are times when a rapid increase in blood sugar is desirable. For example, coaches and trainers recommend high GI foods (like sports drinks) immediately after exercise to help speed recovery. Being aware of the GI and glycemic load (GL) of certain foods can help you control your glycemic response. The GI is a numerical index that ranks carbohydrates based on their rate of glycemic response, or their conversion to glucose within the human body. The Index uses a scale of 0 to 100, with higher values given to foods that cause the most rapid rise in blood sugar. Pure glucose is the reference point and has a GI value of 100. A low-carb diet is not necessarily required to burn fat, although it can be useful in some circumstances. You are better off eating the right kinds of carbohydrates at the right time. Your body depends on carbohydrates as a primary fuel source (especially during intense workouts). After a tough workout, a post-workout drink with high glycemic carbs and protein will help your body recover and rebuild your muscles. During the day, low glycemic carbs are more desirable. <a href="http://healthhut.mikegeary1.hop.clickbank.net/?pid=248">Eat These 3 Foods to Burn More Belly Fat</a> Another way to control your GI is to also control your GL. Glycemic load can be controlled by the type and amount of carbohydrates you consume. So, GI and GL work together to control your glycemic response. Listed below is a table showing GI and GL for some common foods. GI's of 55 or below are considered low, and 70 or above are considered high. GL's of 10 or below are considered low and 20 or above are considered high. Food GI, Serving Size, Carbs, GL Peanuts 14, 4 oz (113g), 15, 2 Bean sprouts 25, 1 cup (104g), 4, 1 Grapefruit 25, 1/2 large(166g), 11, 3 Pizza 30, 2 slices (260g), 42, 13 Lowfatyogurt 33, 1 cup (245g), 47, 16 Apples 38, 1 medium (138g), 16, 6 Spaghetti 42, 1 cup (140g), 38, 16 Carrots 47, 1 large (72g), 5, 2 Oranges 48, 1 medium (131g), 12, 6 Bananas 52, 1 large (136g), 27, 14 Potato chips 54, 4 oz (114g), 55, 30 Snickers Bar 55, 1 bar (113g), 64, 35 Brown rice 55, 1 cup (195g), 42, 23 Honey 55, 1 tbsp (21g), 17, 9 Oatmeal 58, 1 cup (234g), 21, 12 Ice cream 61, 1 cup (72g), 16, 10 Mac & cheese 64, 1 serving(166g), 47, 30 Raisins 64, 1 small box(43g),32, 20 White rice 64, 1 cup (186g), 52, 33 Sugar 68, 1 tbsp (12g), 12, 8 White bread 70, 1 slice (30g), 14, 10 Watermelon 72, 1 cup (154g), 11, 8 Popcorn 72, 2 cups (16g), 10, 7 Baked potato 85, 1 medium (173g), 33, 28 Glucose 100, (50g), 50, 50 Things to Consider When Using Glycemic Index/Glycemic Load 1. Generally, any food processing such as grinding or cooking will elevate GI values for certain foods. 2. The addition of other foods that contain fiber, protein or fat will generally reduce the GI of the meal. 3. The rate of glycemic response varies from person to person. Also, a person's glycemic response might vary depending on the time of day. And different people have different insulin responses. Lesson? GET TO KNOW YOUR BODY! 4. If you use GI and GL values as the sole factor for determining your diet, you could end up overeating fat and total calories. Glycemic index is only used to rate a food's carb content. IF YOU EAT MORE CALORIES THAN YOU BURN, YOU WILL GAIN WEIGHT NO MATTER WHAT YOU EAT. <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>

You MUST do the right kind of exercise to get the fat-burning results you want. And, you need to eat to build muscle mass and burn fat. Here are 2 fat loss success stories: "Thanks I will give this one (DB and MB Metabolic Workout) a try, I did your 14 day challenge (14-Day Accelerated Fat Loss Program) and lost 12 pounds! Thanks again and have a great day." ---Stephanie H. "I have lost over 60 pounds in the last 5 months using My Fitness Hut's workout programs, nutritional advice and just staying with it and not quitting....and my body fat percentage has decreased from 45% to under 30%!" ---Jorge P. If you have been doing the same workout for months or years, you need a change to make progress. If your workouts are 2 hours long, you are spending too much time in the gym. You can get better results with less time. You don't need a gym membership. You can do this program at home or anywhere you like. Here are 5 proven fat-burning tips to give you faster fat loss results: 1. Superset strength training burns fat better than traditional strength training. Pair two non-competing exercises such as bench press and dumbbell rows, completing each exercise back to back without rest. Another good pair to superset would be squats and standing shoulder press. Supersets allow you to do more work because one muscle group can rest while you work the opposing muscle group. Doing a second workout during the day (even a short one) keeps growth hormone levels high throughout the day. This will give you even more fat burn. So, you could do one 20-minute workout in the morning and another 20-minute workout in the afternoon. This will give you better fat loss results than doing one 40-minute workout. 2. Tone your body better and faster with explosive strength training. This type of training will burn fat and tone your body like never before. Lifting weights explosively is an advanced form of exercise and shouldn't be done by beginners or youngsters. Your body should have the needed stabilization and strength before beginning explosive lifts. Especially at the start of the lift, explosive lifting can be done for exercises like bench press, push ups, leg press, shoulder press and calf raises. 3. Do interval cardio sessions instead of long cardio sessions. All it takes is 20 minutes of intervals on the treadmill, grass or stepmill (non-machine cardio will give you faster results). This method will burn more fat than doing 60-minute cardio sessions that wastes away your muscle mass. 4. Circuit bodyweight cardio sessions are very effective fat-burners. Combine 4-5 bodyweight strength exercises, 8-10 repetitions each. Do this circuit 2-3 times and the fat will burn off your body. 5. Jumping exercises really burn the fat and tone your body, especially if done at full speed. Squat jumps, pike jumps, side-to-side hops, front-to-back hops, jump rope, jumping jacks and box jumps will all get the job done. Its important to learn proper jumping and landing techniques to avoid injuries. Use these training methods to burn more fat, lose more weight and get your lean body on---faster!
