Eating What You Want To Lose More Weight

January 11, 2019/in Blog, Fool-Proof Diet, Nutritional Consultant

This may seem ridiculous, but the fact of the matter is that you shouldn’t ban yourself from eating the foods that you want to eat if you are attempting to lose weight. Sure, you can ultimately work toward seeking out healthier alternatives, but banning these foods entirely is very dangerous.

When we put these stressful limitations on ourselves, a lot of the time it is far more than our psyche can handle and we end up not only craving these foods, but binge on them, which is far more unhealthy than allowing yourself a moderate portion of the food you are craving in a safe and controlled environment!

Instead of torturing yourself by eating things you don’t want when you know very well that what you are craving is something else, you should find a compromise that you can live with, for example, if you have an addiction to fast food, rather than eating it every single day a week, perhaps you can cut down your fast food intake to once per week rather than trying to cut it out entirely. That way you are still getting what you want without going overboard in a way that is far more unhealthy and detrimental to your health.

It is highly recommended that you begin to actively seek out healthier alternatives to unhealthy foods, but sometimes nothing will ever really beat the thing that you are craving. There are times when it is okay to eat an unhealthy food in moderation. It is still your life; you should be allowed to do what makes you the most happy. As long as you are being responsible and only doing so in a way that is not going to take back all the progress you are trying to make, you shouldn’t put too many restrictions and limitations on yourself.

Your body will punish you for it and you may end up doing something even more unhealthy than you would should you have just given in to a craving. That being said, always make sure that what you are eating is done in moderation. If you are drinking enough water throughout the day, you will probably find that your appetite is not quite as voracious as it used to be. Drinking water is a good appetite suppressant, and it can help you in your efforts at portion control and staving away cravings for foods that you know to be unhealthy for you.

If you are going to break the rules, do it right by making a new rule. Eat whatever you want! Just do it in moderation. Make smart and healthy choices. Don’t do things that you will ultimately regret, and have little bites of things you know will be bad for you. Provided you are not physically suffering, say, a diabetic eating a big slice of cake that is laden with sugar, then you shouldn’t put too many restrictions on yourself and your diet. The best way to create a foolproof diet plan is to make sure you are accounting for everything; including your happiness!

Eating More to Lose Weight

January 9, 2019/in Blog, Fool-Proof Diet, Nutritional Consultant

Many people would be shocked to realize that eating more frequently is actually one of the greatest and most effective ways to lose weight. When we are stuck in a routine where we only eat food once or twice a day, our bodies begin to feel starved and they slow down the metabolism.

That makes it far more difficult for us to burn calories and lose fat. When we are not following a structured routine that gives our bodies predictable sources of nutrients, they have a tendency to try to hold on to the little nourishment they receive in order to keep us alive.

Not only that, but eating regularly is beneficial to the metabolism. It keeps it fired up and ready to burn off any of the excessive fat we may have stored in our bodies. It is very important that we never skip eating breakfast, because breakfast truly is one of the most important meals of the day. It is what kick starts our metabolism and provides us with the energy that we need to make it through the rest of the day. And everything we eat has a consequence, so avoiding sugary foods like cereals and granola bars is probably the most beneficial, especially if weight loss is your ultimate goal.

Eating regularly is probably the opposite of what people who are dieting want to do. Most diet books have a tendency to make us want to count calories and cut out as many of them as possible in order to create a big enough deficit for drastic weight loss. But that is not the real solution. In fact, putting yourself into starvation mode that way can often cause long-term health consequences that actually make it nearly impossible to lose weight as you age, and then you will be really miserable with yourself.

Instead of only eating one or two meals per day, or worse, limiting your food intake to extreme levels, you should make sure that you are eating several meals. Simply cutting down your portion sizes and allowing yourself to eat small meals, about five per day, is one of the best ways to make sure that you are making your metabolism work for you rather than against you.

Another benefit of eating small, regular meals is that you will have less cravings for food throughout the day, which means you will not be prone to eating quick and convenient things that are bad for you. Rather than eating foods that are sabotaging your weight loss efforts, you can be making the conscious choice to eat more frequently so that you are not putting your body into starvation mode and causing your body further problems later on down the line.

Each of us has the power to change our lives for the better, and if we are making mindful choices that are good for our bodies, then we can be proud to know that we are creating a foolproof diet plan that will benefit us for years to come!

5 Powerful Strategies For a Rapid Weight Loss Diet Plan

October 8, 2018/in Blog, Dieting Advice, Nutritional Consultant

Losing weight sounds simple but very rarely is. The trouble is that we all want to lose it quickly but underestimate just how long it can take to actually get lean. For a lot of people this a big reason why any diet plan fails as expectations are too high and when people don’t start seeing amazing results quickly they soon give up and the old habits start to return and before we know it we are back to where we started.

If this sounds like you then here a 5 important factors that you must follow if you are going to have any success with a rapid weight loss diet. Always remember weight loss should be approached with a long-term plan but with the occasional quick fix to get you in peak condition for events, holidays or any other occasion where looking your best is important.

1.Eat Less

I cannot stress this point enough. If you want to lose weight and lose it quickly then you have to burn off more calories than you consume. Now you can do this with extra activity but this is time consuming and takes a huge amount of effort. A more simple way is just to eat less. Any rapid diet plan that is successful regardless of what you are eating is one where you are eating fewer calories than your basic metabolic rate. There are many such diet plans out there you just need to research the one most suited to you and your lifestyle.

2.Perform High Intensity Exercise

High intensity whether it is cardio or resistance training is how you should approach all your workouts. This works better than traditional ‘steady cardio’ workouts for 2 reasons. First high intensity intervals and resistance circuit type training burn more calories than ‘normal cardio’ can. Second they build and tone muscle, which keeps your metabolism up.

3.Get Support

This is one of the most important factors too losing weight but is very rarely considered. Trying to lose weight on your own can be very tough with many people feeling isolated from family and friends as they try to maintain their diets. I would advise to try and encourage other people you know to start with you and make it clear to family and friends how important losing weight is too you and that you need their support. Once you have people in the same position as you and supporting your goals it will keep you more motivated and less likely to miss workouts or cheat on your nutrition. A lot of people hide their weight loss plans in case they don’t see them through and look like a failure but I think by telling everybody what you plan to do it shows that this time you really do intend to get the job done.

4.Eat more Fruits And Vegetables

Yes you have heard or read this a million times but are you really doing it? It is a very simple strategy but highly effective. Having more vegetables especially in your diet will make a big difference as they don’t contain many calories but will fill you up quite quickly. If your not sure about this just try for one week to eat only vegetables and protein for every meal obviously making sure it is within your daily calorie allowance and see what happens.

5.Set Goals and deadlines

Setting goals and deadlines is a very powerful tool to losing weight but one that most people fail to do. I prefer to set short goals on a daily and weekly basis. These include targets to be hit in my workouts or only eating certain foods all week. As you build up your list of goals you have accomplished you will increase confidence and momentum towards your overall long-term weight loss goal.

I also try to have a deadline of maybe a month or up to 3 months. I think longer than this can overwhelm people and they don’t feel attainable. Deadlines are very powerful especially when they come in the form of some event, holiday or other important occasion. For example I have yet too train a bride to be who didn’t hit their weight loss goal for their big day. Events like that are incredible motivators and create the correct mindset for weight loss.

It is the same for film stars. The reason that all of these top stars look great on film is not that they are somehow different too us mere mortals. It is because they are completely focused because they have a deadline that must be reached. This means they don’t miss workouts; they train like demons and out of the gym they watch their diet and lead an appropriate lifestyle.

If you can put any or all of these 5 strategies into effect then you will have very effective rapid weight loss diet plan and be well on your way to achieving your weight loss goals in record time.

Losing Weight Rapidly

July 25, 2017/in Blog, Dieting Advice, Nutritional Consultant

Wanting a slimmer and sexier body is no lofty ambition. Many people have succeeded in sculpting their physiques to make them look healthy and desirable. However, this end is not attained in just a snap or skipping one night’s dinner. For some people though, patience is not a virtue.

They seem not to be able to afford so much attention, time and money to get the body they have always wanted. As a result, these people result to rapid weight loss practices and programs which may not be as effective as these people are led to believe they are.

Fast-track diets are one of these rapid weight loss practices which may not be very inviting as they seem according to research. Fast-track diet programs, as scientific research shows, are only good while they last. Rapid weight loss often results ironically, to rapid weight gain. people who undergo low carbohydrate or low calorie diets normally revert back to old eating habits simply because human beings can not actually live on with this type of diet scheme for the rest of their lives.

Now there is also scientific research showing that rapid weight loss does not imply an individual is losing unwanted excess fat; it is commonly water that is lost with following rapid weight loss practices. This could cause certain alarm but actually, water lost is regained very quickly. So there is actually zero net weight lost after all.

So one should not be foolish enough to be so gullible with the advertising of certain diet pills out there in the market; especially those which claim to aid lose a whopping amount of fat in a short time. They will only dehydrate the body. And just so it is clear, the body can only lose two pounds of fat per week, one could be exceptionally lucky if he can lose three, but normally, it’s just two.

Another rapid weight loss product out in the market is the slimming soap. Claiming that these soaps are made from a unique concoction of rare Chinese herbs and seaweed, they assert to help people using them to shed off body fats by emulsifying them upon application while taking a bath. Some are even specialized like those which promise to give the user “beautiful thighs”. The ingredients may prove to improve the quality of the skin but no research has ever come up yet which aids to prove the efficacy of these ingredients in emulsifying excess body fats.

One more rapid weight loss product out there in the market promises to suppress hunger and at the same time help increase the body’s metabolic rate. It also claims to be able to accelerate the healing process and reduce certain body pains, all these plus its being a very chic fashion accent. Well they are actually called magnetic weight loss earrings.

The secret of this set of earrings is in the magnet, so it says. Wearing them near the ears balances the magnetism in the body therefore one will experience all the above mentioned effects. Though press releases say that there are actually “studies” to back these assertions up, nothing yet is found in medical journals. Though buying a set may not kill a person, it’s probably not a wise investment. One might as well wear a horse shoe earring for a more exquisite fashion statement.

Bottom line is “no pain, no gain”. If one wants a beautiful body, one must sweat it out. And as for those rapid weight loss products coming out on the market, if they are too good to be true, they probably are not.

Why Losing Weight is Good

July 12, 2017/in Blog, Dieting Advice, Nutritional Consultant

There is a great benefit acquired from losing weight. Though losing weight is not easy, the long term effects brought by it would probably be of help to anyone considering to shed those unwanted and unhealthy pounds.

The following are a few of the remarkable advantages from losing those excess weight.

Weight loss prevents high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke

That is a three in one benefit from losing weight. It is a fact that heart disease and stroke are one of the primary reasons for disability and death in both men and women in the US. People who are overweight have a higher risk to have high levels of cholesterol in their blood stream as well as triglycerides (also known as blood fat).

Angina, one type of heart disease, could cause chest pains as well as a decrease in the oxygen pumped to the heart.

Sudden death also occurs from heart disease and stroke, and usually this strikes with very little warning, signs and symptoms.

It is a fact that by decreasing your weight by a mere five to ten percent, this could positively decrease the chances of you having or developing heart disease or a stroke. Plus, how your heart functions would also improve as well as your blood pressure, cholesterol and triglyceride count will decrease.

Weight loss prevents type 2 diabetes

Diabetes puts in jeopardy one’s life as well as how one leads his or her life because of the complications that result from having it. Both types of diabetes, type one and type two are linked with being overweight. To those who already have diabetes, regular exercise and losing weight could help in controlling your blood sugar levels as well as the medication you may be currently taking. Increase your physical activity. You could simply walk, jog or dance. It helps get those blood streams moving as well as lose those unnecessary pounds.

Weight loss helps reduce your risk for cancer

Being overweight is linked with a number of kinds of cancer. Specially for women, the common types of cancer that is associated with being overweight include cancer of the uterus, gallbladder, ovary, breast, and colon. This is not meant to scare you, this is only to keep you informed. Men are at risk too from developing cancer if they are overweight. These include cancer of the colon, prostate and rectum. Extra weight, a diet high in fat and cholesterol should as much as possible be avoided.

Weight loss reduces sleep apnea

Or it could eliminate it all together. Sleep apnea is a condition wherein one could temporarily stop breathing for a brief period and then would continue to snore heavily. Sleep apnea could cause drowsiness or sleepiness during the day and – because of being overweight – could result in heart failure. Shedding those excess pounds could help in eliminating this problem.

Weight loss reduces the pain of osteoarthritis

When one weighs heavily, the joints of his or her knees, hips and lower back would have to exert double – if not triple – effort to carry him or her through out his / her waking, walking and moving life. This could cause tension and stress on these joints. Weight loss decreases the load these joints carry thus decreasing – if not eliminating – the pain of one who has osteoarthritis.

It Takes Too Long And I’m Tired

July 7, 2017/in Blog, Motivation, Personal Training

You’re completely right. It is a long and tiring journey. The question you have to be asking yourself is, “Why did I think it was going to be quick and easy?”

To be fair, this is not your fault.

If you look at any fitness magazine, weight loss advertisement or even articles on Facebook, you’ll see titles such as, “Get a Beach Body in 2 Weeks Flat!” or “Drop 12 pounds in 2 Weeks with FatsBeGone Pills”.

It all seems so easy and effortless. So why is it taking so long for you?

The answer is that you have been lied to through and through and through. If you truly stopped to think about it, you didn’t become overweight overnight or even in a month. It would have taken you a long term to become overweight to the point that you know you require to do something about the excess fats. So, if it took you quite a while to gain weight, why would you expect to lose it all fast?
Because you have been lied to. The difficult truth is that weight loss is a slow, tiring process. You will require to watch what you consume and exercise. You’ll require to maintain a caloric deficit for as long as it takes till your body burns off the excess fat.

Now that the truth has been unmasked, it’s time for a reality verify. usually, people may lose a pound of fat per week. Forget what you have seen on those weight loss reality shows. Most have been edited to make it look like the contestants lost weight in a short time. The fact of the matter is that initially the weight you lose could be about 4 to even 6 pounds in a week. anyhow, your body will adapt and in a matter of time, you can only expect to see about 1 pound of fat loss per week. occasionally, it might only be half a pound.

Imagine if you were 30 pounds overweight, it might take you 30 weeks. You can’t get a beach body in 2 weeks. That’s unreasonable.

You’re seeking at 30 weeks! That’s about 7 months. Does that shock you? Now you comprehend why you have the feeling of it’s taking forever. Your yardstick was an illusion. You were basing your expectations on hype and unrealistic declares by people and companies hoping to make cash. The health industry is a billion dollar industry and they will do anything it takes to make your pockets lighter and make you heavier. It’s good for repeat business. Now that you’re aware that it takes that long, will you prevail committed? You should. perhaps you’re just into your second month and you expected to lose the 30 pounds but you only lost ten pounds.

You feel such as a failure but you’re not. You have produced good progress. If you prevail the course, in another 4 to 5 months you would have pulled off your ambition. You’re on the proper track. All you require to do is keep going. This is a personal journey and you have no rivals. It doesn’t matter if you’re trying to lose weight or construct a body that is muscular and toned. It all takes time.

If you’re tired, it’s mostly because you feel that you’re not seeing results or not seeing them quick enough. Now that you are aware of it takes time, the “not quick enough” is not an issue. If you see no results, there is either something wrong with your training or diet. You will require to explore them nearly. Count your calories but don’t obsess through them. Have a common idea of what range you’re in. Trying to lose weight? You require to be in a caloric deficit. verify it.

Keep examining your training pattern, diet and other reasons and make changes as you see fit. Nothing is set in stone. Do anything it takes to accomplish your ambition and never lose hope.

It is within your reach.

Tired of Initiating And Quitting Over And Over

July 4, 2017/in Blog, Motivation, Personal Training

Every year millions of people come to the resolution to lose weight and get the body they have continually dreamed of. After a month or two, they surrender. the next year, they initiate all through again with the same resolution and they surrender again. This vicious cycle never ends.

What most people don’t realize is that they are no different on December 28th. They are the same person on January 1st. The date has transformed but the person is the same. Their behaviors and mindset are the same. As a result they keep quitting on themselves and starting through and through.

Enough is enough! It’s time to stop being sick and tired of being sick and tired. It doesn’t matter if today is April 26th. Do you need the body you’ve continually dreamed of? Then you initiate today. The date entirely does not matter.

Next up, the mindset requires to be transformed. You entirely must be aware that you are in for one of the toughest journeys in your life. To get fit, healthy, slim, washboard abs, etc. is not something easy.

It will need effort, sacrifice, patience, sweat equity, self-discipline and it’s going to be a roller coaster emotional ride. The key here is to celebrate your little successes and adhere it out even when you don’t see results apart from your efforts. from time to time your body reaches a plateau.

The body is taking time to adapt and change.

So multiple people quit throughout this phase for the reason that they have the feeling of their efforts aren’t bearing fruit. You have to wait. It takes time for the seed to grow into a tree and bear fruit. You must keep going. You won’t have to start through if you don’t surrender. Always check that this is not something easy. If it was, everybody would be walking around with bodies like the models from Abercrombie and Fitch. You must go by ways of the difficult yards.

If you need something you’ve never had, then you must do something you’ve never done. In this case, it is to keep going. Like Winston Churchill told, “If you’re passing through hell, keep going”.

The fitness journey is hell. It truly is. Forget the hype and glam that the magazines portray. It’s not something easy. It will take time. Depending on your present physical situation, it may take a long-standing. If you’re 40 pounds overweight, it may take you almost a year to lose everything that excess flab.But guess what? Once you’re done, you’re done.

It’s the transformation that is so tiring. Maintaining a fit body is much easier. This is the place you need to be at. You’re getting there. You just have to keep going.

Will you adhere it out till you get there? Or will you surrender and wait for the following New Year’s Day to make another resolution?

Enough is adequate. You can do it but you entirely must remain positive and keep going. One step at a time. There will be times when apart from your absolute efforts, the results are abysmal. It’s at times like these that you look back at how far you have come. That is why you should continually take photos every week or so. Have a fitness journal to track your progress. On days when you’re emotionally drained, look back at your progress. That will inspire you to keep going. If you have come this far, you can go additionally.

You may not continually get what you want for but you will continually get precisely what you train for. Train difficult, be positive and carry on keeping on. That’s what winning is related to.
