Mayo Clinic's approach to weight loss - indeed the true Mayo Clinic Diet - is more than a diet. It's a lifestyle that can help you maintain a healthy weight for a lifetime.
If you're overweight, you've likely tried many diet and weight-loss plans, from the low-carb diet to the low-fat approach. You might have even tried the Mayo Clinic Diet - or what you thought was the Mayo Clinic Diet.
But whatever the method, you may not have had much success and are still trying to lose weight. That's not surprising. Most people who diet find weight loss a never-ending roller coaster ride.
That's where Mayo Clinic's weight management program can help you. This approach to weight loss isn't a diet. It's a lifestyle program that can improve your health and help you maintain a healthy weight for a lifetime.
Not just another diet
Mayo Clinic's approach to weight loss - indeed the true Mayo Clinic Diet - is based on Mayo Clinic research and clinical experience. It recognizes
successful, long-term weight management needs to focus on more than the food you eat and the pounds you lose. It needs to focus on your overall health.
This Mayo Clinic Diet, if you want to call it that, has a simple goal - to help you adopt a long-term lifestyle that allows you to achieve and maintain a weight that's healthy for you. The Mayo Clinic weight management program can be summarized in four essential components.
1. Eat well with the Mayo Clinic Healthy Weight Pyramid
Mayo Clinic Healthy Weight Pyramid
The Mayo Clinic Healthy Weight Pyramid helps you adopt an enjoyable eating plan that you never tire of - one that can last a lifetime. That means no severe restrictions on the foods you eat and no extreme hunger. The base of the pyramid focuses on generous amounts of healthy foods that contain a small number of calories in a large volume of food, particularly fruits and vegetables. Healthy choices in moderate amounts make up the rest of the pyramid, which focuses on whole-grain carbohydrates, lean sources of protein such as legumes, fish and low-fat dairy, and heart-healthy unsaturated fats.
Use the pyramid to help you select the right kinds and amounts of food. If you eat the recommended number of servings, use the proper serving sizes and are physically active every day, the pyramid approach can help you lose weight at a safe pace of 1 to 2 pounds a week.

2. Increase your physical activity
Being active - either through physical activity or through a formal exercise program - is the next essential component of Mayo Clinic's weight-control program. When you're active, your body uses energy (calories) to work, helping to burn the calories you take in with food you eat.
At the most basic level, physical activity means moving - every motion of your body burns calories and is therefore beneficial. Cleaning the house, making the bed, shopping, mowing and gardening are all forms of physical activity. Exercise, on the other hand, is a structured and repetitive form of physical activity that you do on a regular basis. Exercise improves your fitness, as well as helps you lose weight and deal with everyday stress.
Whatever activity you choose, the key is to commit to doing it regularly. Aim for 30 to 60 minutes of moderately intense physical activity most days of the week. Moderately intense activity or exercise should increase your heart and breathing rates and possibly lead to a light sweat. Brisk walking and yardwork that entails near constant motion are examples of moderately intense activity.
If you've been inactive or you have a medical condition, talk to your doctor or health care provider first. Most people can start out gradually with five- or 10-minute activity sessions and increase the time gradually.

3. Set action goals
Goal setting provides focus and the path to achieve a healthy lifestyle. With a clear goal, you can readily turn your thoughts into action.
When setting goals, focus on specific activities rather than pounds lost. For example, you might decrease the number of servings of high-fat foods in your diet and increase your intake of fruits and vegetables. Or you might begin walking or jogging a specific number of miles each week. You might start keeping a daily food and activity diary. Make sure your goals are specific, measurable and realistic so that you're able to reach them.
Set weekly or monthly goals, and then track your progress. At the end of the time, gauge your success by how well you've stuck to your plan rather than on how many pounds you may have lost, which of course is the ultimate goal.
4. Get started and stay motivated
Motivation is the final essential component of Mayo Clinic's weight-control program. It's natural to encounter mental roadblocks and resistance when you undertake a major lifestyle change. Once you're ready to get started, here are some strategies to help bolster and sustain your motivation:
 Emphasize the positives. Focus on the good things about losing weight - such as more energy and improved health - and not what you consider the negatives. If you have a setback, don't dwell on it. Put it behind you and move forward toward your goal.
 Prioritize. Don't set yourself up for failure by trying to lose weight while distracted by other concerns.
 Steer clear of dietary gimmicks. Over-the-counter pills and special food combinations aren't the answer to long-term weight control. You want to incorporate healthy behaviors into your lifestyle, not rely on gimmicks.
 Seek out support. Don't feel you have to go it alone. Exercising with a friend or family member, for example, can help keep you motivated.
 Remind yourself you're not looking for a quick fix. Healthy weight loss is slow and steady weight loss that occurs over time. Remind yourself that quick weight loss is usually followed by weight regain a short time later.
Achieving a healthy weight takes continuous effort - or more correctly, good planning and consistency - but the rewards are clear: better health and more enjoyment from life. Over time, these steps will become a sustainable healthy lifestyle based on proper nutrition and increased physical activity. You'll feel better immediately and reduce your health risks. More importantly, this change in lifestyle can be an enjoyable way for you to live.

Weight Loss Solution: Eat 20 Carbs a Day
This is no joke. Are you ready, really ready, to lose weight and build health, fitness, and your body best?
Are you ready to peek over your shoulder in the mirror and look hot in those pants?
Then eat 20 carbs a day.
"What? 20 carbs a day? Are you crazy, Dr. Leslie? Don't carbs make you fat?"
Yes and no.
Yes, I am a bit (or a lot) crazy.
No, carbs don't make you fat. More calories in than out make you fat.
But you're right - carbs do get a bum rap. So it's confusing. Let's get carb clear, shall we?
All carbs are not created equally.
There's the bad-guy carbs - refined foods, like white sugar, white flour, white rice, quick oats, boxed cereals, 99% of all breads. Lots of calories. No nutrients. They turn into fat in your body.
Yikes! Who wants more fat? Lose those bad guys and those pounds right along with them. Out, out, out! Off, off, off!
But get in, in, in with the good-guy carbs - your newest best friends: fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains (like brown rice, not breads), and beans (like black or kidney beans).
Broccoli has 58% carbs, Romaine lettuce 54%, green beans 76%, potatoes 92%, carrots 87%, bean sprouts 64%, spinach 54%, apples 95%, oranges 91%, bananas 92%, kidney beans 70%, and brown rice 85% carbs.
Yet, 4 cups of lettuce is only 32 cals, 1 cup of broccoli, 46 cals. 1 cup of brown rice, 173 cals.
One egg-McMuffin is 280 calories. One quarter-pounder with large fries - 910 cals. One chicken enchilada - 330 cals. Tuna, no mayo, sandwich - 720 cals. Ham with mustard on rye - 560 cals. You get it.
Good-guy carbs come in those foods that give you the most nutrition for your calorie buck - loaded with nutrients, low in calories. Once you get carb clear, it's a no-brainer - fill up on carbs to trim off the fat.
Good-guy carbs also give you energy. Your brain is fueled almost 100% by the glucose from good-guy carbs. No, your zip and thinking power don't come from protein.
Protein in your body is like the engine in your car. Carbs are the gases that make it run. Without gas, you stop. Pretty simple.
Rev yourself up with at least 20 of those energizing good-guy carbs a day. It's a piece of cake (little joke - that's a bad-guy carb) if you follow "10+10 for Life."
Center your day around those whole, fresh fruits for breakfast and snacks, a 10-veggie salad for lunch and dinner, along with other vegetables, whole grains like brown rice or barley, and beans.
Count up the carbs (10+10=20) to count down the pounds. Bingo, bango.
Here's to you and your 20-carb solute to weight loss and your body best. And I solute you for working hard (and playing) to create that body you can be proud of.
Now's the time to feel good about you - go for it!
"Extra cals are not your pals, gals."

10 Guilt-Free Snacks For Weight Loss
When you know which categories of foods are healthy it's a lot easier to chose healthy snacks. Contrary to popular belief, snacking is actually very beneficial. It helps to refuel your body, maintain blood sugar and energy levels as well as control your appetite.
Healthy snacking will help your body get the nutrients it needs and help you avoid overeating at meal times.
Indulge in these guilt-free snacks. Remember we encourage an anti-inflammatory, low-glycemic, paleo-style diet for weight loss and wellness. A body must get healthy before it can lose weight.
1.Fruit and Yogurt Parfait.Organic plain yogurt is best. Flavored yogurts have a higher sugar content. Instead, flavor your yogurt with fruit. Blueberries are an excellent choice as they have a lower glycemic content that will help balance blood glucose and insulin levels.
2.Romaine Lettuce Wrap With Organic Turkey and a Slice of Raw-Milk or Skim Mozzarella Cheese.
Romaine lettuce contains the highest nutritional and fiber content of all lettuce. Turkey is 94% protein which helps you to lose weight by boosting your metabolism and decreasing hunger. Adding raw milk grass-fed cheese not only adds flavor but also adds calcium without any harmful hormones or preservatives. A great source for grass-fed wild meat, game and poultry is at U.S. Wellness Meats.
3. Veggie Sticks With Cottage Cheese Dip. Non-starchy vegetables contain almost eight times the amount of fiber found in whole grains. Fiber is essential for a healthy digestive system. Fat-free organic cottage cheese makes an excellent low calorie snack.
4. Shrimp Cocktail Shrimp is 90% protein. Try dipping it in some cocktail sauce for a low calorie, high protein snack.
5. A Handful of Nuts. Walnuts are the best choice as they're rich in protein and fiber but they also contain a high dose of omega 3 fatty acids (good fats) as compared to other nuts. Healthy fats help lower your risk of disease. Omega-3s are anti-inflammatory, meaning they help prevent inflammatory diseases such as stroke or heart disease. People who are overweight are actually suffering from an inflammatory condition.
6. Celery Sticks and Almond Butter. This is a great combination of protein, monounsaturated fat and energy. Almond butter is a healthier alternative to peanut butter as it contains no added ingredients or preservatives and better fats. (peanuts are a legume not a nut)
7. Deviled Eggs. Eggs are an excellent source of protein and make a great snack any time of the day. My Guacamole Deviled Eggs are a great high-protein healthy snack with good fats.
8. Herring Wraps. Buy a few tinned containers in a few different flavored sauces such as tomato or tangy mustard, herring fillets are high in omega 3 fish oils. Don't but if they are in soybean oil. Try wrapping them in a few leaves of romaine lettuce.
9. Banana Nut Pop. Dip a banana in plain organic yogurt and roll in walnuts or coconut. Freeze. Yummy!
Bananas are a great source of fiber and potassium. Don't eat too many they do have a higher sugar content. Coconuts have anti-microbial, anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties and are one of the best sources in the world for MCFA (medium-chain triglyceride fatty acids)
10. Lemon Tuna Avocado Snack. Halve an avocado and scoop out the flesh. Mix with lemon juice and tuna. Serve in the shells. Good protein, good fat.
Avocado's are high in monounsaturated fat and potassium. Tuna is a nutrient-dense food, high in omega-3 and a great source of protein. Protein builds muscle which in turn burns more calories to help you lose weight.
And here's your BONUS snack idea....
***Smoked salmon.
Don't get salmon that's been smothered in brown sugar. Salmon is one of the best sources of protein and healthy fats on earth. Try to buy wild-caught, not grain fed salmon.

Power Boost Your Metabolism For Maximum Weight Loss
How many times have you heard a person say they are overweight because they have a slow metabolism? I hear it everyday! Frustrated weight loss enthusiasts constantly blame a slow metabolism for their weight woes. But is that really the case? True, some people, genetically, have challenged metabolisms, while most others use it as an excuse for why they can' t lose weight.
Let's eliminate this excuse by firing up your metabolism to its full genetic potential. While following your best weight loss program, doesn't it make since to speed up your metabolism to its greatest genetic potential possible?
There are certain tactics available to power boost your metabolism. Some are lifestyle techniques, while others are nutritional tricks. Before I list all of the metabolism boosting tricks, let me explain exactly what metabolism is.
Metabolism is the way your body uses energy, as measured in calories. One way the body uses calories as energy is to sustain vital body functions like heart rate, cell development, breathing, cell repair, and temperature control. This accounts for up to 75% of the calories you burn daily. The other 25% of metabolism is the result of physical activity, digestion and absorption of food. The rate at which your body burns calories is its metabolism.
The following tips below will help you increase your metabolism to it greatest possible potential. However, please be aware that the calories you take in and your activity level play a much greater role in weight loss than metabolism alone. It is best to go through the weight loss battle with your metabolism firing on all cylinders.
Metabolism Boosting Tips and Tricks
1. Increase Your Physical Activity - This is no secret, but really works!Individuals who exercise regularly burn more calories and have more metabolically active, calorie burning muscle mass than those who are less active. Cardiovascular activity boosts metabolism by burning calories, while strength training slows the metabolically active muscle loss in aging people. Both of these activities have shown to increase metabolism immediately after participating in the activity, while the long term results of strength training help burn even more calories 24 hours a day, even while sleeping.
I recommend doing 30 plus minutes of aerobic activity, 3 to 5
days per week, in addition to doing 2 short, 24 hour metabolism
boosting strength training sessions each week.
2. Protein Consumption - Some evidence suggests their is a
slight metabolic boosting power in higher protein diets
versus high carb, low protein diets. Please be aware that the vast majority of weight loss results from decreasing calories, and increasing activity, not by changing the percentage of carbs versus protein in your diet. Very high protein diets have shown to cause potential health challenges.
3. Sleep - Getting 7+ hours of sleep each night may affect hormones
that regulate body weight and appetite. In a current, rather large, ongoing study, people who slept less, have a tendency to weight more.
4. Don't Skip Meals - It is important not to wait more than 5 hours
between meals to eat. Waiting longer and skipping them has a tendency
to slow your metabolism down, and deprive you of crucial energy. It is also important to rev up your metabolism by breaking the fast at breakfast each and every morning to give you energy, and prevent binging at later meals. Please note: It is also always important to closely monitor your overall caloric intake.
5. Weight Loss Supplements - Certain weight loss supplement which contain a stimulus effect can slightly boost your metabolism. Please note that I am not promoting weight loss supplement to increase metabolism! Some supplements have stimulant properties which increase metabolism by raising the heart rate. Such pills can also produce unwanted side effects like anxiety,heart palpations, elevated blood pressure, and insomnia.
I recommend following the first 4 tips in order to tune up your metabolisms engine so you are burning food at the highest rate your body can possibly handle.

Supporting Your Weight Loss Goals
As anyone who has ever been on diet knows, trying to lose weight is hard enough without any added pressures. While having your own personal weight loss coach would certainly help matters, for many people that is simply an unaffordable daydream.
Never the less, success stories around the world have proven that the most issue regarding successful weight loss is not the type of diet that you undertake, but rather the presence of moral support to help you along the way.
Moral support provides a number of useful benefits while attempting to lose weight. One of the most important of these benefits is motivation. The very act of letting others know that you intend to lose weight automatically makes you more accountable to lose the weight. While you may feel its okay to renege on your goals when it’s only you involved; you will be far less likely to break a promise to others. That in itself can be a strong motivator. In addition, a support network can make the time you spend exercising and dieting more enjoyable and feel less like a chore.
There are a number of ways that you can gain the moral support you need to make your weight loss program a success. One of the easiest ways to do this is to find a weight loss buddy. This individual may be someone within your own home or family or even someone in your community or at your job; however they do not necessarily need to be participating in a weight loss program as long as they support your goals in a healthy manner.
This individual can support you by going to the gym with you or even accompanying you during a daily walk. In today’s hectic world it can be difficult to find time to catch up and bond with the important people in your life, but this provides an excellent way to spend time with those close to you as well as gain the needed emotional support to succeed at your weight loss goals.
A support partner can also help motivate you by encouraging you to stick with your commitments. Even someone who does not live within your area can help by picking up the telephone to ask how thing’s are going.
Beyond finding a personal weight loss buddy, you can take advantage of the benefits offered through moral support by joining a weight loss support group. During the last few years, these groups have become quite popular and boast numerous success stories annually. Some of the most well known programs, such as Jenny Craig and Weight Watchers, combine weight loss support with specific diet regimens. For a specified fee members meet on a regular basis to evaluate progress and does what works and what does not.
While many of the most well known weight loss support programs also combine specific diet regimens, not all support programs provide strict dietary guidelines. Some support programs are just about the support. Taking Off Pounds Sensibly, often referred to as TOPS, is one of these groups. With more than 200,000 members in North America; TOPS was founded 50 years ago for the purpose of providing ongoing support to dieters.
Online diet and weight loss forums also provide important moral support for those engaged in weight loss efforts. Numerous websites have sprung up all over the net for the sole purpose of encouraging dieters to meet up in cyber space to discuss matters related to weight loss. The accountability factor related to weight loss forums may not be quite as strong as a weight loss buddy or local weight loss and support program, but it can help dieters to connect with like minded individuals on a host of issues related to diet and weight loss.
Regardless of the type of support system you choose, the important issue at hand is to make sure that you surround yourself with individuals who will motivate and encourage you during an admittedly difficult time. With the right combination of support, nutrition and exercise you can accomplish anything.

How You Can Eat Carbs and Still Lose Weight
When I decided to lose weight I of course decided to do as much planning as possible. It seems the older I get the harder it is to do anything without completely planning it out. Anyways, I had already been on the all protein diets and knew that they worked. The only problem was I could never stick to them for very long.
So I decided to research the net a little more and see if I could find some other program that I had not yet heard about. I noticed something kind of strange, the more I looked around at different weight loss articles.
The two types of people that seemed to be claiming their way of eating was the best, were either vegans or the no carbohydrate eaters. This made sense to me. I mean, I know people who have lost lots of weight eating no carbohydrates. And if you know anyone who is a vegan, you know that they are generally very slim.
So I researched some more and came across some articles on food combining. These people claimed that you can eat whatever you want as long as you combine it properly. You can eat pasta as long as you only eat it with vegetables. Or, you can eat meat as long as you only eat it with vegetables.
This made sense because either way you are going to be eating a lot of vegetables, which nobody would argue, is a good thing. So I started my modified protein vegan style diet.
I went almost a month eating meat and veggies, when my weight loss seemed to plateau. So after that I decided to try a pasta diet, properly combined, for a while. And guess what, I lost some more weight the week I ate the carbohydrates.
A little over a month and I had lost 30 pounds and have kept it off for nine months now. So my question is this.
Do you think the vegans have the answer? Maybe,
Do you think the protein lovers have the answer? Maybe,
Do you think the food combining theory carries some weight?
I would say so. I would say it carries about 30 pounds of weight.

How To Lose Weight Fast
How To Lose Weight Fast
You Can Lose Inches Fast
In just an hour, you can expect to lose between 6 and 20 inches off of your body. No amount of working out can make that difference in that time frame. Hitting the gym 5 times a week and pushing your limits on weight training you might lose 5-10 inches in a month.
Body wrap is another way of losing inches fast and it isn't a substitute for healthy nutrition and exercise, but it can be a helpful tool in removal the body of harmful toxins and improving your overall appearance. You can improve your results from the body wrap up by having them roughly once per week to continuously rid your body of the toxins, improve your skin's appearance and lose the maximum amount of inches.
If you are aiming to lose 10 pounds, you can easily do it in about two weeks. It all comes down to calories. No matter how you cut it, it's too many calories that put on the weight. Don't eat late, and am sure you have heard the metaphor of the body being a machine, food being fuel, fat being stored fuel, etc.. Well this late night hunger is actually an indication that your body has used all of its fast fuel. The mistake that most people make is that they feed the body more fuel, fuel that if not used before you hit the sheets, will be turned into stored fuel or fat while you sleep. If you ignore the hunger the body will start to break down fat cells and use them for fuel, subtracting fat instead of multiplying it.
If you refuse yourself sufficient protein, your body starts taking it off your muscle. Your immune system is not as responsive, so you need to take vitamins such as A, C, E and the mineral zinc, your skin become drier and your body soon become tired of the vitamins that open up to you to illness and infection. Without carbohydrates you will be easily tired. And inadequate supply of vitamin B causes loss of muscle tone and more fatigue.
The human body is an accommodating creation, it will expand contract, get stronger, get more flexible, to fit our daily use. The inner organs follow the same pattern. Your stomach will expand or contract to fit its contents. Its overall capacity is directly related to how much gets put into it. Overeating over time will cause your stomach to expand, requiring more and more food to indicate it is full. Unfortunately, in most cases the rest of the body doesn't need the extra food, so it will store it as fat.
Several people seek for ways to lose inches fast. Losing weight is tricky when you deal in inches because pounds don't always equal inches. You may lose ten pounds, but find that you have not lost anything inch-wise. Don't get frustrated and don't give up because you're on the right track and it takes time to your body to tone down the way it should be.
When you exercise on a pursuit to lose weight, this happens the tape might not show inches lost, even though you have lost five or ten pounds that tend the muscles replaced by fats. If you do lose inches fast inappropriately it may be reappear in the wink of an eye.
Unhealthy foods such as junk foods are not known to be nutritious. This gained empty calories, a lot of preservatives, and a ton of salt and or sugar. All of these make you irritable and moody, and the salt makes you retain water.
Drink water- It is really simple... Drinking water, 8 glasses a day, speeds your metabolism, prevents soreness, increases energy, suppresses hunger, aids digestion, and is incredibly easy. Just get a sports bottle and drink a little at a time. Refill it once every about 3-4 hours and you are there. Hint: drinking water is a great way to control your hunger during those 2 hours before bed. You can lose inches fast, but this should only be done as a solution when you have an event coming up, and you need to fit into something fast, or perhaps you are getting portraits done and you want to look your very best. The truth about water weight loss is that it isn't real weight loss.
You may lose inches fast, but it is not true fat loss. When you diet to lose more than a few pounds, you will find that there are times when you lose inches fast, and there are times when your waist seems to remain at the same number for weeks. Don't let this get to you, and keep going, so long as the pounds seem to be coming off. If you get stuck, and nothing seems to be happening, keep chipping away, and step up your physical efforts.
Anyone who feels ill tired or irritably looking their self at the mirror tend to stop the diet and will result to not losing pounds. It's like what your mother told you that a balanced diet is the best and if you are trying to lose 10 pounds, have that strategy a blast, and you will lose 10 pounds in two weeks and look good. Health permits us to drink juice fast of one to three days. Lots of vitamin C results in cell repair and strong cell walls plus antioxidants galore. It also helps flush your body of toxins in your blood. After the juice fast, include lots of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, protein. And another thing is put down the "soda" because of the complex nature of describing the effects of soda on the cellular level. After the juice fast, include lots of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, protein.
Cut the Fried Food, We all know that over time the consumption of fats and oils from fried foods can cause the arteries within the heart to clog. What we don't realize is how simple it is to cut down or out fried foods. Try the food that hasn't been soaked in grease.
You don't have to anguish yourself over a cookie or not allowed piece of cheese. Keep it off and you will lose 10 pounds in a reasonable approach. Just hold the line on a daily basis at the number of calories you consume.
Just remember that not all products are safe, and all consumers should be wary of claims touting fast weight loss with no drugs, dieting, or exercise. It is possible to lose inches fast, but it is best to do it in the healthiest way possible. Anyone who wants to lose a considerable amount of weight should consult with their health care provider first, especially if any chronic health conditions are present. It is also not necessary to spend massive amounts of money to lose inches fast. If you are trying a program to take inches off fast, and you begin to feel weak, faint, or have weird symptoms, stop what you are doing and call your doctor to be sure nothing is wrong with you. Just take a walk every day and cut down on your food intake without jeopardizing nutrition and you will lose weight, but to lose inches fast, eat fresh vegetables and fruits, whole grains, less fats, and more protein and you'll reach your goal faster for sure!

Body wrap is another way of losing inches fast and it isn't a substitute for healthy nutrition and exercise, but it can be a helpful tool in removal the body of harmful toxins and improving your overall appearance. You can improve your results from the body wrap up by having them roughly once per week to continuously rid your body of the toxins, improve your skin's appearance and lose the maximum amount of inches.
If you are aiming to lose 10 pounds, you can easily do it in about two weeks. It all comes down to calories. No matter how you cut it, it's too many calories that put on the weight. Don't eat late, and am sure you have heard the metaphor of the body being a machine, food being fuel, fat being stored fuel, etc.. Well this late night hunger is actually an indication that your body has used all of its fast fuel. The mistake that most people make is that they feed the body more fuel, fuel that if not used before you hit the sheets, will be turned into stored fuel or fat while you sleep. If you ignore the hunger the body will start to break down fat cells and use them for fuel, subtracting fat instead of multiplying it.
If you refuse yourself sufficient protein, your body starts taking it off your muscle. Your immune system is not as responsive, so you need to take vitamins such as A, C, E and the mineral zinc, your skin become drier and your body soon become tired of the vitamins that open up to you to illness and infection. Without carbohydrates you will be easily tired. And inadequate supply of vitamin B causes loss of muscle tone and more fatigue.
The human body is an accommodating creation, it will expand contract, get stronger, get more flexible, to fit our daily use. The inner organs follow the same pattern. Your stomach will expand or contract to fit its contents. Its overall capacity is directly related to how much gets put into it. Overeating over time will cause your stomach to expand, requiring more and more food to indicate it is full. Unfortunately, in most cases the rest of the body doesn't need the extra food, so it will store it as fat.
Several people seek for ways to lose inches fast. Losing weight is tricky when you deal in inches because pounds don't always equal inches. You may lose ten pounds, but find that you have not lost anything inch-wise. Don't get frustrated and don't give up because you're on the right track and it takes time to your body to tone down the way it should be.
When you exercise on a pursuit to lose weight, this happens the tape might not show inches lost, even though you have lost five or ten pounds that tend the muscles replaced by fats. If you do lose inches fast inappropriately it may be reappear in the wink of an eye.
Unhealthy foods such as junk foods are not known to be nutritious. This gained empty calories, a lot of preservatives, and a ton of salt and or sugar. All of these make you irritable and moody, and the salt makes you retain water.
Drink water- It is really simple... Drinking water, 8 glasses a day, speeds your metabolism, prevents soreness, increases energy, suppresses hunger, aids digestion, and is incredibly easy. Just get a sports bottle and drink a little at a time. Refill it once every about 3-4 hours and you are there. Hint: drinking water is a great way to control your hunger during those 2 hours before bed. You can lose inches fast, but this should only be done as a solution when you have an event coming up, and you need to fit into something fast, or perhaps you are getting portraits done and you want to look your very best. The truth about water weight loss is that it isn't real weight loss.
You may lose inches fast, but it is not true fat loss. When you diet to lose more than a few pounds, you will find that there are times when you lose inches fast, and there are times when your waist seems to remain at the same number for weeks. Don't let this get to you, and keep going, so long as the pounds seem to be coming off. If you get stuck, and nothing seems to be happening, keep chipping away, and step up your physical efforts.
Anyone who feels ill tired or irritably looking their self at the mirror tend to stop the diet and will result to not losing pounds. It's like what your mother told you that a balanced diet is the best and if you are trying to lose 10 pounds, have that strategy a blast, and you will lose 10 pounds in two weeks and look good. Health permits us to drink juice fast of one to three days. Lots of vitamin C results in cell repair and strong cell walls plus antioxidants galore. It also helps flush your body of toxins in your blood. After the juice fast, include lots of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, protein. And another thing is put down the "soda" because of the complex nature of describing the effects of soda on the cellular level. After the juice fast, include lots of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, protein.
Cut the Fried Food, We all know that over time the consumption of fats and oils from fried foods can cause the arteries within the heart to clog. What we don't realize is how simple it is to cut down or out fried foods. Try the food that hasn't been soaked in grease.

Weight Loss: A History of the HCG Diet
"Although the HCG diet has been receiving a great deal of attention lately, it actually is not a new concept. In fact, the use of HCG as a diet aid was first discussed in a report that Dr. A.T.W. Simeons published in 1954. The report did gain some attention at that time, but it took several years before the use of HCG with dieting really started to catch on. Today, an increasing number of dieters are turning to HCG to help them lose those unwanted pounds.
About Dr. Simeons
Dr. Simeons, who was a British physician, is credited with having first discovered the use of HCG for weight loss. While practicing medicine in Rome, he devoted many years to the study of obesity and ultimately published his report extolling the benefits of HCG in 1954.
Dr. Simeons was mostly impressed by HCG because it could be paired with a low calorie diet without causing the same side effects commonly associated with low calorie diets. For example, Dr. Simeons noticed that his patients could drastically reduce their caloric intake without experiencing irritability, hunger pains, headaches, or weakness while also taking HCG.
As Dr. Simeons continued is research, he found that an HCG injection did more than just help his patients lose weight. In fact, he found that the injections also helped to naturally reshape his patient's bodies even if they did not engage in exercise while on the diet. Dr. Simeons concluded that this was because the patients lost their fat tissue from adipose tissue accumulations, which made changes in the body shape more visible.
HCG Today
Today, HCG is still recognized by many weight loss clinics for its abilities to help patients lose dramatic amounts of weight. Although HCG is still not recognized by the FDA as a weight loss treatment, the FDA has determined that it is a safe drug to use.
The basic concept behind using HCG to aid in weight loss remains much the same as it was with Dr. Simeons's initial studies, but it was recently taken to a whole new level with Kevin Trudeau's best selling book entitled "The Weight Loss Cures 'They' Don't Want You to Know About." According to Trudeau, the effectiveness of HCG can be further enhanced by eating a diet that consists of 100% organic foods. Trudeau's plan also calls for implementing herbal supplements as well as vitamins to help improve the overall health of the body.
Although HCG has been around as a weight loss aid for over 50 years, it took Trudeau's book to help spark new interest in its use. A great deal of controversy still surrounds HCG and whether or not it is effective at helping people lose weight. Nonetheless, there are many anecdotal records from people claiming that the injection changed their lives."
Marion Goldsmith is the public relations director of HCG Medical, a medical hcg weight loss clinic located in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Marion is a former medical weight loss physician has written articles on a variety of topics, but currently focuses on HCG weight loss, as written about in Kevin Trudeau's "The Weight Loss Cure".

HCG Diet and Weight Loss Protocol Quick Summary
HCG Diet Simplicity
Way too many people make the HCG weight loss protocol much more complicated than it really is. It is simply a hormone-directed, very low-calorie diet that is ultra-low in fat and carbohydrate. The recent growth in popularity of this protocol, however, has attracted so much nonsense that it is difficult to know what is right and what is wrong.
Whenever I hold a presentation in my store, I always start out by putting everyone on the same page with a summary of the key points that answer most questions before anyone even asks. They are as follows:
The HCG Hormone
HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) is a complex protein hormone that is produced by pregnant women. Its normal function is to direct the mother to use her own stored fat to nourish a developing fetus.
Different Forms of HCG
Different forms of HCG include the original form, an oral (sublingual), a new transdermal form (cream), and homeopathic drops. The original, sublingual, and transdermal forms are all equally effective.
Non-HCG and Fake HCG
I have no scientific basis for evaluating homeopathic HCG, since it contains no actual HCG. All other forms contain measurable dosages of the hormone.
Some products on the market are labeled as alternative HCG. These are herbal formulas that contain no HCG at all.
Genetically Engineered HCG
Native HCG that is isolated from the urine of pregnant women is available under several brand names, including Pregnyl, Follutein, Profasi, and Novarel.
A genetically engineered form of HCG, called Ovidrel, is produced by Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells. It is not identical to the complete native hormone. Nevertheless, it works just as well as the native hormone.
Dosages and Calories
When administered to overweight men and women, low dosages of HCG cause the reduction of abnormal fat when food calories are restricted to no more than 500 calories per day. (This would be an unhealthy starvation diet without the action of HCG to derive calories from fat!)
The Basic Diet Plan
The diet consists of four components in each of two daily meals: 1) a nonfat protein; 2) a vegetable; 3) a fruit; and, 4) a serving of Melba toast. The program also encourages the intake of plenty of water and allows unlimited amounts of black coffee and tea. Stevia is the only approved sweetener.
Important Supplements
Key supplements for enhancing results include green tea, chromium, goat's rue, cha de bugre, CLA, and probiotics.
Duration of the Protocol
Because HCG is a hormone that trains specific brain receptors, it advisable to use the hormone for a minimum of 27 days (the 30-day program) or a maximum of 40 days (the 43-day program). Maximum weight loss during the 30-day program is typically 25 lbs. For the 43-day program it is typically 35 lbs. Further reduction beyond 35 lbs. requires an additional HCG series after a layoff period.
Unique Fat Reduction
Fat reduction via HCG shapes your body by burning abnormal fat. You will not go below a healthy weight level or become too skinny. You will simply look the way you are supposed to look when you are not carrying excess abnormal fat.
Bonus Side Effects
According to Dr. A.T.W. Simeons, the discoverer of this program in the 1950s, the bonus benefits of the HCG Weight Loss Diet include restoring steroid hormone balance, slowing or reversing the downhill slide of hypoglycemia and diabetes, re-energizing thyroid and adrenal glands, breaking up arterial plaque, reducing rheumatic pain, and lowering blood pressure.
Lifetime Aftercare Strategy
HCG-based weight reduction is only the first phase. You must also follow certain dietary guidelines (i.e., no sugar, low starch) for a 3-week second phase. You must also adopt a sensible diet and lifestyle for the rest of your life. This is when the right diet, exercise, supplements, and lifestyle are most important for your long-term weight management and total health.
Lifetime Supplements
This is another topic that has attracted a lot of craziness. Keep it simple! There is nothing simpler or better than what I have listed above as the key supplements for enhancing results before, during, and after the protocol. These include green tea, chromium, goat's rue, cha de bugre, CLA, and probiotics.
How Effective is the HCG Protocol?
Dr. Simeons estimated the effectiveness, or success rate, at better than 90%. In my experience, this depends on compliance. If you do not follow the protocol, you will fail. Furthermore, if you do not live sensibly after you reach your target weight, you will gain rebound fat. There are no silver bullets, magical drugs, or miracle surgical procedures that can help you if you do not do the right thing.
I hope that helps your thinking a little bit!

The Secrets to Weight Loss After Pregnancy
Sarah is a pregnant mother of three who continues to breast-feed her 18-month-old. After each of her pregnancies, she has had difficulty losing weight. With all of her responsibilities, weight loss isn’t a priority. Still, she wishes that, once this pregnancy is over, she will be able to return to her pre-marriage weight.
The average woman gains more than 25 pounds during her pregnancy. The procedure of childbirth may result in a weight loss of up to 14 pounds, which means that new moms still have considerable weight to lose once they leave the hospital. However, some women simply assume that this “baby fat” will never go away. Yet, it is entirely possible to lose weight during the post-partum period.
A number of medical experts recommend easing into a weight loss program after the birth of your baby. This means that you will not start dieting until about three months following birth. You should combine a low-fat diet with moderate exercise in order to achieve weight loss.
Don’t expect instant results. It will take you a good nine months to get back to your weight prior to pregnancy. A go-slow approach is best because you need to give your body time to recover after childbirth. Certainly, you might be able to lose weight faster, but you might be sacrificing valuable nutrients as a result.
Interestingly enough, breastfeeding actually enhances weight loss. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists has found that breastfeeding leads to the release of hormones which enable your uterus to return to its normal size. However, breastfeeding alone won’t bring down your weight. You need to combine it with a sensible diet and a moderate exercise program. Keep in mind that you need to have at least 1800 calories a day while breastfeeding in order to keep yourself and your baby healthy. Still, stay clear of junk food during this period. You should rely on food with high nutritional value to maintain the proper level of calories each day.
There are many good reasons to exercise during the post-partum period. In addition to helping to accelerate weight reduction, exercise can help alleviate post-partum depression, improve your mood, and boost your confidence. Exercise can also “clear your head” so that you’re better able to meet the demands of motherhood. You might consider joining a “Mommy and Me” exercise class so that your baby can exercise right along with you. Another helpful hint is to enlist the help of a friend or relative to act as your exercise buddy so that you’ll have some emotional support while exercising. An added bonus of exercise is that it should boost your energy level, which is quite important when battling the fatigue which comes from caring for a newborn.
Your diet should generally be low-fat but not fat-free; vitamin rich; and high-fiber. Under no circumstances should you go on a fad diet. Such a diet could be quite harmful to your health and could actually slow your recovery from childbirth. It’s a good idea to set weight-loss goals, but don’t go overboard. Recognize that there’s a limit to the amount of weight you can lose during a given period of time.
You may see a number of actress-moms gracing the covers of magazines shortly after the birth of their children. They appear svelte and elegant, totally devoid of baby fat. In the accompanying article, they may even talk about exercising right after childbirth. Such articles send new mothers a dangerous message: that you must do all you can to become thin as quickly as possible after your baby is born. Such a philosophy is not only ridiculous, it’s also unhealthy. As a result, you’ll need to “tune out” such messages from the media and stay the course with your own gradual weight loss plan.
The time right after the birth of a child can be quite challenging, taxing both your physical and emotional strength. While it is certainly a good idea to eat healthy, you’ll need to pace yourself as far as weight loss is concerned. Over time, you should be able to lose the weight you gained during your pregnancy. In fact, you might find that you’re actually healthier after your baby is born.

Health & Diet - How to lose weight 6 ez tips for weight loss
Top Five Ways To Lose Weight Fast
Losing weight is not about achieving the hour glass figure or the perfectly sculpted and toned body. It is more about staying fit and remaining healthy to ensure a long, disease free life. Everybody knows that extra pounds increase the chances of a wide variety of illnesses, from heart disease to cancer to diabetes. This article shows you the top five ways you can lose weight, and fast.
1. Eat Less Junk
Cutting out the junk food that you eat on a daily basis is one of the best ways to not only lose weight, but put you on a path towards vastly increased health and vitality. That means cutting out highly-processed food stuffs like carbonated drinks, crisps, cakes, chocolates and other sweets - all these foods are not only full of sugars and/or fats that will pile on the pounds, they also have virtually no nutritional value whatsoever. They fill you up at the expense of your body and your long-term health.
If junk food forms a high proportion of your diet, cut it out gradually. Stop buying it at the supermarket, and practice walking straight past the aisles that sell this kind of rubbish.
2. Exercise Frequently
This does not mean that you have to become a workout wonder - it simply means incorporating exercise into your daily life. This can mean something as simple as walking for at least half an hour a day.
Think about how you can do this on a daily basis so that you actually enjoy it. Are you able to walk to work rather than say catching the bus? If so, you may enjoy the fact that you arrive at work with more vitality, and that you seem to have more energy to achieve more with your working day. You may simply enjoy the fresh air, and the sound of the birds in the trees. You may enjoy the fact it gives you some time to reflect, and some time to yourself. Most people also find walking highly therapeutic and a very effective stress reduction technique, all of which will help overcome any psychological reasons that may lie behind your weight gain.
Exercising, whether you walk, swim, run, or go to the gym, will make you feel better about your body, and encourage you further on your path to lose weight.
3. Drink Water
Drink plenty of water. Our body needs a lot of water so give in to water. Water is not just way to flush out toxin but if you have more water in your body you will generally feel healthier and fitter. This it self will discourage any tendency to gorge.
The best thing about water is that is has no calories at all. Start your day with a glass of water. As soon as you wake up, gulp down a glass of cool water. It’s a wonderful way to start you day and you only need a lesser quantity of your breakfast drink after that. A glass of water lets out all your digestive juices and sort of lubricates the insides of your body. You may have your morning cup of tea but have it after a glass of water. It is good for you.
Drink a glass of water before you start the meal. Water naturally needs some space so that you feel fuller without actually having to stuff yourself. Have another glass of water while you are having the meal. Again this is another way of making yourself full so that you can actually rise from the table eating less but feeling full just the same. Instead of drinking it one gulp, take sips after each morsel. It will help the food to settle faster so that you get that feeling that you are full faster.
Water is such a remarkable thing, but seldom do we give it the credit that it deserves. Did you know that over 66% of your body weight is nothing but water? It’s amazing!
4. Eat More Vegetables and Fruit
Go crazy on vegetables. Vegetables are your best bet when it comes to losing pounds. Nature has a terrific spread when it comes to choosing vegetables. And the leafy green vegetables are your best bet. Try to include a salad in you diet always.
If you have a sweet craving, do not reach for the biscuit tin, enjoy a piece of fruit instead - it's full of nutritional value, and won't pile on the pounds.
5. Increase Your Fiber Intake
Your body needs a lot of fiber, so increase your fiber intake. This will help your body process the food you eat a lot more efficiently, and give you more energy and vitality too.
Try to include in your diet as many fruits and vegetables as you can. Avoid 'white' processed breads like the plague - instead eat wholemeal bread. Try wholemeal pasta too, it tastes little different to white pasta, and is a whole lot better for you.

Natural Weight Loss for Good Health and Well Being
weight loss is becoming an unhealthy obsession dealing with body images, but in some cases can improve health and fitness. When weight loss is a result of eating healthy, exercising and/or taking natural weight loss supplements in contrast to synthetic prescription drugs with the risk of harmful side effects, weight loss can be effective, rewarding, and greatly improve overall health.
Extra weight, especially extra fat on a person's body, applies significantly increased stresses on the heart, joints and back. These stresses can be extremely detrimental to one's health. Healthy weight loss can reduce the risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, arthritis and other health problems, as well as generally extending an otherwise average life span. Recently, the scientific root cause or explanation of obesity has been revealed as being part of one's physiology. The internal functions of an obese person are different than those of a healthy person, and cause intense hunger pains and food cravings.
Natural weight loss supplements can help counteract this constant hunger and lead to healthy weight loss. Unbalanced hormones are a common cause of weight gain, therefore taking natural hormone balancers and herbal supplements would help to create a healthy weight loss regimen. Restoring your health allows you to lose weight naturally, without excess frustration and effort. It's all about losing weight from the inside out.
Emotional issues always accompany change, especially changes in our bodies e.g. natural weight loss. Weight loss affects our perception body image, our sense of identity i.e. who am I?, and how we feel about ourselves in general. Weight loss also effects our social relationships in that there may be people in our family or social contacts that are emotionally invested in our remaining the same i.e. overweight with all that it symbolizes e.g. friendliness, non-threatening, protective, jovial, helpful, etc. Beyond our physical health, it can be said that "size matters" cognitively and emotionally to ourselves and others. Eating and food have come to symbolize being accepted, being cared for and comfort. Having the support of others in our efforts to naturally lose weight and regain our health is a huge advantage.
We have been "conditioned" to fear any kind of loss, including weight loss. Especially if what we may lose is something with which we identify i.e. use to tell us who we are.
The emotions of fear, anger, anxiety and depression effect our weight. We often tend to "stuff our feelings" or numb these emotional feelings or stress by overeating. We may even overeat, thinking that will ease the physical discomfort caused by excess weight e.g. physical pain, lack of sleep, and lack of energy caused by moderate depression. To improve our overall health and support us through the process of natural weight loss and the emotional dynamics around it, we can take advantage of natural sleep aids, natural depression relief and natural pain relief health care products.
Our weight and health is greatly dependent upon our having a healthy digestive system or metabolism. Our digestive system converts, on a cellular and muscular level, the foods we eat, eliminates toxins, and uses and stores glucose for energy. Natural enzymes trigger hunger signals and facilitate absorption of nutrition. Good digestion with the help of natural enzymes aids in the conversion of fat to muscle.
Allergy and sensitivity to food, parasites, yeast overgrowth and emotional stress are signals of digestive disruption and inflammation. Natural essential fatty acids work to reduce intestinal inflammation, decrease harmful acids, help the liver process proteins that grow muscle, balance hormones and facilitate the elimination of toxins. Natural essential fatty acids help clear our digestive system of heavy metals, harmful bacteria, pesticides that we are increasingly encountering in our environment. Essential fatty acids along with natural fiber help us clean out the intestinal debris that harm our health and often lead to weight gain. Essential fatty acids also help our brain's neurotransmitters to function properly in order to deal with stress, emotions, and cravings that can lead to overeating and weight gain.
Natural amino acids are the building blocks that make up proteins. Next to water, protein makes up the greatest part of our body weight. Amino acids help increase metabolism, build muscle, ease moderate depression, and help burn fat. Natural antioxidants help carry more oxygen to cells and muscles to help increase energy, burn fat, build muscle and process the foods we eat.
Hormone balance is essential for natural weight loss. Our metabolism slows as we get older because of the decrease or imbalance of hormones. This contributes to weight gain. Hormone balance also helps us deal with stress that leads to weight gain. Proper hormone balance helps to decrease cravings and binge eating. There are many natural hormone balancing products available, e.g. natural progesterone, promensil, soy isoflavones, essential fatty acids and hormone balancing formulas.
Our metabolism's primary task is to nourish our brains. We need healthy neurotransmitters to help us curb craving, ease depression, and deal with stress that lead to weight gain. Balancing our natural brain chemistry has a calming effect and allows us to feel a sens of well being and safety. There are many natural health care products to help balance brain chemistry, e.g. essential fatty acids, natural depression relief products, natural products to increase serotonin, and more. When our brain feels well and safe, it is prone to change our metabolism from calorie saving to calorie burning.
Our bodies were designed to move and be active. Movement requires muscle activity. Muscle activity uses the glycogen supply found in our muscles. When this glycogen supply stored in our muscles is used, our body is forced to use stored fat as an energy source. Using this stored fat through movement and exercise, results in natural weight loss. There is no reason for us to become athletes to accomplish natural weight loss. Low impact exercise like swimming, walking, etc, can be done slowly and without strain. In order to lose real weight rather than "water weight", it is important to drink extra amounts of water when exercising. Drinking more water will also help our digestive system and metabolism to use and eliminate extra weight.
Remember, the first objective, accomplished through natural weight loss, is to improve our physical and emotional health. This involves having a healthy digestive system, a healthy emotional system and a healthy nutritional system. We can build these healthy systems with natural vitamins, amino acids, antioxidants, natural digestive aid, pain relief aid, natural sleep aids, natural emotional and mood aids, essential fatty acids and many more helpful natural health care products. We need to concentrate on improving our general health, feeling good, and living well through natural weight loss, rather than constantly comparing ourselves to someone else's idea about appearance from some magazine. Physical and emotional health is primary. Appearance may be important to us, but it is secondary. Through natural weight loss, we can live well and live long.

Lose Weight With Treadmill Weight reduction Workouts
Your treadmill gives you really great weight reduction workouts. Currently most fitness treadmills equipped with your working personal computer offer fat loss or weight loss programs.
How do treadmill machine workouts to drop some weight work?
It can be pretty simple , it modifies the slope so you preserve 65% of your top heart rate ("MHR"). Simply treadmills along with computers cater to weight loss fitness treadmill machine workout packages.
The idea to most treadmill machine weight loss programs is basically that you burn the best fat carrying out long (40 plus tiny) workouts with 65% of your optimum. HR. MHR seems determined by time (although We take small issue with this particular below).
For instance, I'm 25 years old. 65% regarding my highest HR is definitely 120 surpasses per minute (that is a pre-set calculation dependant on my age). Thus, according to the 65% beats per minute theory, We burn probably the most fat as i do a very long workout having 120 surpasses per minute. In any event, I acquire issue with your pre-set max. Hour or so being a similar for every time.
Once you enter your age plus weight, then this as long as you allow treadmill get the HR although working out, your treadmill may adjust the incline which means you maintain 65% within your MHR.
From just what I've look over, I can't debate that working out with 65% for A half-hour or more time of the MHR is a good solution to lose weight.
Of course, you can buy a close look or a few other heart rate monitor and just maintain 65% of this max. pulse rate while training. Treadmills provde the convenience to modify the slope to maintain 65%.
What's wrong with the treadmill machine computerized process?
Like My spouse and i said, I'm just 35 years of age. However, I've a below-average resting HR. Therefore, My partner and i suspect my personal MHR is lower when compared to a for how old irrrve become group. To put it succinctly, I don't feel that our MHR are similar at each era.
This means as a way to effectively apply the 65% fat loss treadmill training session, you need to find out what your a fact maximum heartbeat is. Treadmills are developed to select some sort of MHR based on years. That said, you are able to choose the target Human resources and the fitness treadmill will support.
It's important to establish your specific MHR. Then you do not have to go with the actual age-based maximum An hour which may not your legitimate max. Time.
The best way to determine your real max. Hour or so is to have got your doctor undertake it with you.
How treadmill can assist you with weight-loss?
Many treadmill machines offer cardiovascular system rating alerts. This means you'll be able to conveniently take your heart beat while exercising on a fitness treadmill and ensure you happen to be maintaining 65% of this maximum heart beat for maximum fat loss.
Problem:
Quite a few treadmill beats per minute sensors are on a fixed spot - just like fixed manages. If you use the particular treadmill fat reduction plan, the treadmill machine computer demands you keep their hands on the receptors.
This is a trouble. I find possessing something even though running or walking truly assists the workout in addition to reduces my best energy expenditure. If you're coaching, it will increase your operating or strolling performance. I prefer heart sensing unit that evaluate HR and not having to hold onto a set handle.
Solution:
Find a treadmill machine with instant heart rate monitors that will attach to part of your body that may measure a person's heart rate.

This secret fat burning tip is one that most dieters don't know about. The great thing is that it's easy… real easy. Not only that, but it's a healthy weight loss tip… no dangerous diet pills, crash diets, or silly fad diets.

Great. Well if you drink an eight ounce cup of ICE COLD water, your body will burn 7.69 calories to heat the ice cold water up to body temperature.
Really interesting fact right? Well let's exploit this useful little fact for our fat loss goals.
So when you drink eight ounces of ice cold water your body burns approximately eight calories. If you drink the minimum recommended eight glasses of water a day (for health) but make sure that your water is ice cold... you will be burning an extra sixty-four calories per day by doing pretty much nothing!
You could even do this while lying in bed!
Now this was if you only drank eight cups of ice water per day. Well that sixty-four calories burned is good but you don't want just good enough right?

Over one week you will have burned 861 calories... and this is just from drinking water! To put those 861 calories into perspective, you will be burning roughly the same amount of calories as...
Doing two whole hours of jogging!
Just by adopting an ice water drinking habit, you can burn the same amount of calories as if you had added two hours of jogging to your weekly workout schedule. Now that's incredible.
Remember, drinking eight cups of ice cold water a day will burn a decent amount of calories too. You do not have to drink a whole gallon but if you want the extra boost, you can work up to that amount.

10 Easy to follow Tips to help YOU Lose Weight
Dieting is not easy. If it were, we would probably all be thin. Since we are not, here are some tips that successful people use to lose weight so that others can benefit, too.
SUCCESS TIP NO. 1: DRINK 8-10 GLASSES OF WATER EACH DAY
Okay, for many people this is a big problem. Water doesn’t taste all that great generally because water doesn’t really “taste” like anything. Drinking water 8 to 10 times each day gets easier the more you actually do it. It is simply a matter of conditioning your taste buds, and yourself, so that it becomes easier to do. Once you get started, you will begin to crave water.
To begin with, you should drink a glass of water in the morning first thing, before you eat. This is probably the easiest glass you will drink all day and it will help you remember to drink water all day long. Better yet, why not drink two glasses?
If you really cannot bear the taste of water, try using a water purifying pitcher or filter. You can also add a few drops of lemon or lime to your water – but no sugar or sweetener! Ice also helps.
Check out flavored waters on the market, too. Just keep an eye out for additives.
SUCCESS TIP NO. 2: EAT BREAKFAST
Do not skip breakfast. If you need to go to bed a little earlier so that you can get up 20 minutes earlier each morning – do it! Breakfast is so important to your good health and to weight control. According to Dr. Barbara Rolls a professor of nutrition at Penn State University, "Your metabolism slows while you sleep, and it doesn't rev back up until you eat again."
Eating breakfast is not only good for overall weight loss, it will help you stay on track with your diet the rest of the day. You are more likely to binge on something sweet and in the “bread” group if you skip breakfast.
You can always keep a couple of hard-boiled eggs in the fridge or some high-fiber, low starch fruit around. If you plan to eat fruit at all during the day, breakfast is the perfect time to do it.
SUCCESS TIP NO. 3: EAT AT LEAST 3 MEALS AND 2 SNACKS EACH DAY
This can be one of the hardest adjustments to make. After all, you are busy! You already have a “full-plate”. When do you have time to worry about filling your plate with more frequent meals?
Just like eating breakfast will increase your metabolism, so will eating more often. This will also help you curb your bad-carb intake by making sure that your snacks are planned and occur regularly throughout the day.
Really, it will just take a minimal investment of planning time at the grocery store and at home each morning before you head out for the day to make some healthy food choices and prepare a few healthy snacks and meals. For suggestions, just see the handy list of snacks and appetizers listed later.
SUCCESS TIP NO. 4: AVOID WHITE FOODS
This is one easy way to remember what not to eat. If it is made from sugar, flour, potatoes, rice or corn - just say no. Remembering this rule of thumb will make it easier to recognize those rice cakes as an unhealthy high-carb snack.
Always look for colorful fruits and veggies to substitute for the white ones. Buy broccoli, lettuce, bell peppers, green beans and peas, brown rice in moderation, leafy greens like kale and spinach, apples, melons, oranges and grapes.
These foods are not only colorful they are also high in fiber, nutrients and important antioxidants. Eating colorful fruits and vegetables will give your diet variety as well as give you added health benefits.
SUCCESS TIP NO. 5: EAT YOUR VEGGIES
It is so easy to use a low-carb diet as an excuse for poor nutrition. Resist this temptation. If the only vegetable you have eaten in the last 5 years has been the potato, now is a good time to begin experimenting with other vegetables. This is important for your overall health and to avoid some nasty side effects of not getting enough fiber in your diet.
If you try hard enough, you will find vegetables that you enjoy eating. Experiment with grilling veggies and cooking with real butter to add flavor. You can also search for new recipes on the Internet or in cookbooks.
Remember, if you are only eating 40 grams of carb a day or less, two cups of plain salad greens contain only about 5 grams of carbohydrate. You have no excuse not to eat your veggies.
SUCCESS TIP NO. 6: PREPARE YOUR OWN FOOD AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE
While more and more restaurants are offering low-carb friendly menu items, many of them are still not ideal low-carb fare. There are many recipes for quick and easy meals that you can prepare yourself at home. Try to do this as often as possible.
If you cook your own foods, you know exactly what the contents are and you will be able to better control for hidden sugar and otherwise processed foods.
Another benefit is the cost savings over the long run. Even if you must go to the grocery store more often, you will save a significant amount per meal as opposed to eating at restaurants and fast food establishments.
It will also be easier to maintain your diet with your own favorite fresh food selections on hand.
SUCCESS TIP NO. 7: INVEST IN A GOOD SET OF FOOD STORAGE CONTAINERS
Having food storage containers of various sizes on hand will make it so much easier for you to plan your meals and snacks. When you buy nuts, fruits and vegetables in bulk you can simply prepare, separate and store them for easy use later.
For instance, you can pre-slice your apples and snack on them over several days. Simply cut them, rinse them in pineapple or lemon juice and store. This will make a quick and easy snack for later.
Fix your lunch and take it with you to work. Better yet, fix your lunch and 2 snacks for work.
SUCCESS TIP NO. 8: EAT SOME PROTIEN AT EACH MEAL & AS A SNACK
In addition to everything that’s been discussed before, eating protein helps you burn more calories. Jeff Hample, Ph.D., R.D., a spokesman for the American Dietetic Association says that, "Protein is made up mainly of amino acids, which are harder for your body to breakdown, so you burn more calories getting rid of them.”
Just think – eating a protein rich snack can help you lose weight. How about a few slices of turkey or ham or some string cheese?
Eating protein will also help you feel full so that you are less likely to crave unhealthy snacks.
SUCCESS TIP NO. 9: DRINK A GLASS OF WATER AFTER EACH SNACK
This will help you get in your 8 to 10 glasses of water each day but it can also have other benefits. Ever feel hungry after eating a handful or standard serving of nuts? Try drinking water afterwards. The water will help you feel full and prevent overindulgence.
Drinking water after a snack will also help remove the aftertaste from your mouth and can help curb your desire for more.
SUCCESS TIP NO. 10: EAT SLOWLY & ENJOY YOUR FOOD
You will feel full and more satisfied if you take the time to savor your food and chew it slower. Don’t get in the habit of eating while standing or eating quickly. Sit down and chew.
Eating slower will help you enjoy your food more, pay attention to what it is you are actually eating and get a better sense of when you are actually full.

Weight Loss Motivation � How To Find It And Keep It!
Everyone who has ever tried to lose weight knows that the really big issue is motivation - where do we find it, how do we keep it going, and what do we do when it slips!
To be successful at losing weight you must find your own motivation. More importantly, you must keep motivated, even when times get tough! Read through the tips and tricks and other resources below to help you find and maintain your motivation.
* Set your goals and work out a realistic timescale for achieving them. Commit to them 100%.
* Put it in writing! Scribble down in as much detail as possible why you need to lose weight, how much you are going to lose, when and how. The more you commit to paper the better. Carry a notebook around with you and use it to record thoughts and ideas, recipes, quotes - whatever will inspire you and keep you going.
* Tell a friend or member of the family and ask them to help you stick with your plan.
* Remember that you are losing weight and improving your health "one day at a time". You can stick at anything for one day!
* Don't dwell on the junk that you are taking out of your diet. Instead, celebrate the healthy foods that you are putting in.
* Make bullet points of your main motivational issues and write them on a stack of cards. Display the cards where you will see them regularly - on your bathroom mirror, in your purse, in your car.
* Create a "mantra" to repeat to yourself when times get hard. For example, "Every day I am improving my health, my looks and my well-being. I am getting stronger in every way."
* Consider asking for sponsorship from friends and family for a good cause. Perhaps you can raise money for starving children while you get your own eating under control?
* Start a file or scrapbook of articles, recipes and any other interesting titbits you read.
* Start another file of fashion and wardrobe ideas. Plan what you will need to buy when you shrink a size or two!
* Buy a piggybank and fill it up with a particular sum for every pound you lose. You can use it towards your new outfits!
* Find someone to share the experience with, and laugh your way through the tough times.
* Learn from other successful slimmers. Read other people's stories, join a club, find a chat room, or start your own email group.
* Motivate yourself with our collection of weight loss quotes, available free to subscribers to the weekly Losing It My Way ezine.
