Food Nutrition - How to Lose Weight Without Depriving Yourself

It is an incontrovertible fact that the right food nutrition will help you lose weight quickly and safely. As long as you know the relative importance of different food groups then you will be able to formulate the right kind of diet for yourself.

      It is a very common misconception that weight loss necessarily involves deprivation. Yes, if you diet consists of burgers, fries and milkshakes on a daily basis then you certainly need to deprive yourself. However, most people do not have such extremely unhealthy diets and therefore don't need to make a lot of changes.

    1. Eat the foods that give you pleasure, but in limited quantities. One cannot deny the fact that eating delicious food is a very sensuous experience. There is no point cutting out good food if you're going to feel miserable about it. You'll just end up overeating in compensation so you might as well eat small quantities of your favourite things.

    2. Never eat food on the run. Take the time out to enjoy a meal so that you get the maximum satisfaction from it. Chew your food properly and eat it off a pretty plate. Stay away from the television when having your meals or you'll just keep shovelling food in. You'll feel satisfied after the meal and won't feel food cravings too strongly if you really enjoy what you're doing.

    3. Stick to cuisines and recipes that don't involve a lot of deep frying or roasting. There are many delicious types of foods that don't require a whole lot of fat in the cooking process. Take a little bit of effort to find out about these foods so that you can enjoy delicious meals that are not packed with calories.

    4. Make low calorie substitutions whenever possible. It is generally possible to make most dishes without using high-calorie ingredients or a lot of fat. A little bit of creativity goes a long way here. If you use whole grain flour in place of refined flour then you might have to add extra milk or water to it in order to make it light. Similarly, applesauce can be used to replace some (but not all) of the fat that goes into your batter for cakes.

     5. Keep only healthy food at home. If you don't buy crisps, cakes, biscuits and the like then there is no chance of reaching for them when you want a snack. Be sure to have healthy snacks handy (cut fruit and vegetables, unsalted almonds, hummus etc.) so that you don't go crazy with hunger.

     You'll find it very easy to lose weight and stay healthy if you have the right attitude towards food nutrition. Never make the mistake of dieting obsessively. You'll just be putting a lot of pressure on yourself if you punish yourself whenever you eat a bit more that you ought to. These simple tips will help you reduce the amount of food you eat without really being aware of the fact that you are dieting.

Extreme Weight Loss - 7 Nutrition Tips To Lose Weight Fast

    Here is the third and final installment in this 3-Part article, giving you all of the nutritional advice you need to achieve extreme weight loss and take control of your life. Our bodies are a reflection of our habits and values. Let your body demonstrate to others that you are a person who has mastered their own health.

1. Nutrition Ratios

     Whenever possible, try to increase the amount of protein that you are consuming with each meal during the day. The higher the ratio of protein compared with fats and carbohydrates, the better the metabolism boost and the lower the insulin spike.

2. Eat Often

     As I have discussed in Parts 1 and 2, every time that we eat a small, protein-packed meal, we stimulate our metabolism. Therefore, we need to use this to our advantage as much as possible. Try to eat every 2 to 2.5 hours and never let it go longer than 3 hours. This will keep that metabolism of yours in overdrive and ultimately lead to extreme weight loss.

3. Only Protein Before Bed

     Always remember to avoid carbohydrates at least 3 hours before going to sleep. Apart from the obvious insulin boost and weight gain that follows, having low blood sugar levels before sleep will result in more growth hormone being produced by the body. This means that you will burn more fat while you sleep. So stick to protein shakes or seafood just before hitting the sack.

4. Muscle Is King

     Although it is important to cut your calories to a certain degree in order to lose weight, never cut them down to a point where you are jeopardizing your muscle mass. If you are not eating enough (primarily protein), your body will rob your own muscles for amino acids and other nutrients. This is the worst position to be in, as when your muscle mass reduces, your metabolism will come to a screeching halt.

5. Cautiously Dine Out

      It is easy to get carried away when eating out at a restaurant with friends and family. I am by no means telling you that you shouldn't have fun, but be careful. Keep your weight loss goals in mind and remember to make smart food and drink choices. For example, if the restaurant doesn't offer meals that include complex carbohydrates, you may want to consider eating a salad to play it safe. Also, keep in mind that alcohol is packed with sugar and calories. Drinking your alcohol straight up is a good way to offset additional weight gain.

6. Drink Green Tea

      I have covered the benefits of green tea in detail in a different article, but all you need to know is that you need to be drinking it. Not only is it full of cancer-fighting antioxidants, but it also has a remarkable effect on weight loss. Green tea is the perfect drink to have before performing your morning cardio, as it contains basically no calories, but will provide long-lasting energy.

7. Take a Break

       By cutting down the amount of food that you are eating combined with physical exercise; you are placing a lot of additional stress on your body. If you feel that you are doing everything right, but your results are starting to slow up, you may want to consider taking a break. This break doesn't have to be too long and it shouldn't be: 2 days is enough. For 2 days eat a reasonable diet and avoid exercise, then jump back into your weight loss diet.

The Way You Think Affects Weight Loss

      Negative Images Can Kill You

   When you think a positive thought you are thinking a thought that can be extremely empowering. Negative thinking and images can make you not lose weight at all and sabotage any efforts that you might be putting towards losing weight.
If you have any kind of negative images about yourself then you end up robbing yourself of the energy that you need to help you with losing weight. You will feel unmotivated, depressed and powerless. This is why a negative image can literally kill you.

      How to Avoid a Negative Image

   You can easily succeed in achieving your goal if you start having thoughts that are positive about it. First, acknowledge these types of negative feelings that you might be having. Transform those images and thoughts into positive ones the moment you feel them coming on. Know that you can achieve your goals faster with positive images and thinking.

     Write Down Positive Affirmations

   Writing down positive affirmations and saying them daily about your weight loss can also help to overcome negative images. In the morning get into the habit of saying positive affirmations out loud. One example of a positive affirmation weight loss is "I am losing weight in healthy way right now". When you do meditation in the morning be sure to include positive affirmations in with your meditation.

     Write Down Your Feelings

   Have a daily journal and log in your feelings which might be negative. Start to acknowledge that you have these feelings. Write down whenever you feel as if you cannot overcome the cravings that you are having. Maybe you want a coke really bad and might be battling not drinking one. Don't ignore these feelings. The more that you acknowledge these feelings then the less power they will have over you. 

      Create a Support Group

    Losing weight can be hard. Everyone at some point will struggle during the process of becoming healthy. Create your own personal support group to help you get through the hard times. If you are unsure as to who you can trust at home then research health support forums and chat rooms and find people who also need support and encourage each other during the process. This is also a great way to meet some new friends. Talk with them whenever you start feeling down and struggling with weight loss.

        Conclusion

    If you are serious about losing the extra pounds then get rid of all negative thinking fast because it will hold you down and discourage you. Start thinking positive right now about losing weight and know that you can do it.

Think and Grow Thin - Make Up Your Mind to Lose Weight

Healthy Weight Loss Begins in the Mind

    The weight loss plan you choose is important. The choices to exercise regularly and eat a healthy diet are necessary for anyone to lose weight. But no one will "grow thin" unless their mind is made up to do so.

    I am not talking about wishful thinking. I am not talking about the thought of the day or another new years resolution that you just come up with. To truly "grow thin" you must have a burning passionate desire mixed with faith and a will to succeed that causes you to be persistent and not to be denied.

   When you develop that burning desire to do anything and have faith that you can accomplish what you believe, nothing can stop you from achieving anything you set your mind to do.

A Burning Desire

   The first step to success in any goal is to have a desire to achieve the goal. The more daunting the task the greater your desire for success must be. Burning excess fat and keeping it off requires a deep passionate desire ingrained in your soul for most people to successfully accomplish and maintain their goals.

    A burning desire is much more than a thought or a wish. It dominates your thoughts day and night. Much like a fear you can not get it out of your mind. When you truly have a will and mindset to grow thin you seek solutions and educate yourself on how to satisfy that unquenchable thirst in your soul.

   One thing to be wary of are those situations where you may accept anything that may sound to good to be true as you seek to quench that thirst. This is where the fad diets, magic potions and lotions, and miracle pills all make millions on people who have a desire but do not learn to lose weight properly by employing professionals to help them eat a healthy diet and develop an exercise routine that will in fact help them lose weight.

   Even quality natural nutritional supplements are helpful as part of your healthy weight loss program.  The undeniable key to success is your mind set. You must think and have a passionate burning desire with faith and an unstoppable persistence to ensure success to grow thin as you meet your goals.

7 Methods to Lose Weight by Thinking Yourself Thin

   Your frame of mind and attitude can make a huge difference to your weight loss success. Negative thoughts and emotional baggage keep people from being able to shed physical fat, even when they are exercising regularly. Some people are unable to exercise at all, due to severe asthma or injury, which makes it even more important to keep a positive attitude about reaching your weight loss goals.

   Just as losing weight and getting healthier will not happen overnight, improving your thought process will take time. Be patient with yourself and work at it a little bit at a time. I am sure you have heard this before, but moderation is the key to success with almost everything you strive for in life.

Here are 7 methods you can use to help you think like the thin, healthy person you want to become.

WEIGHT LOSS METHOD #1

   Why do you want to lose weight? Write all reasons down no matter how big or small they are. If you want to look like someone you saw in a magazine, then by all means write it down! Look at your list every morning and keep it in a place where you can refer to it all day long.

   Make copies and put it around places where you might slip on your diet, like you refrigerator door in the kitchen!

WEIGHT LOSS METHOD #2

   Imagine how you will look a year from now if you stick with your goals. Keep pictures of people you want to look like around so you can see them all day. Remember to be reasonable. If you are 200 pounds overweight, do not expect to look like a fitness instructor in 3 months.

    It is possible over time, but the farther you get from reality, the easier it will be to quit. Always see yourself in a positive light by being happy with yourself in the present.

WEIGHT LOSS METHOD #3

    Take all the bad habits you have that are keeping you in the place where you do not want to be, and replace them with good habits. The new habits will give you a roadmap to reach your goals, and with the bad habits gone, you'll have less roadblocks along the way.

   It is easier to replace an old habit with a new habit than it is to break an old one altogether. If you like to have an afternoon snack, do not quit having it. Just grab an apple instead of a candy bar.

WEIGHT LOSS METHOD #4

   Create a list of things you can do to distract yourself from tempting food. Every time you think you are hungry and start to grab something you know you should not eat, immediately do something else to replace the urge. For me a bottle of water works well.

   After I drink it I am not as hungry as I thought I was. Other things you can do is go for a walk around your house, do 20 push-ups or put on some music and dance. Anything to get your mind off your cravings.

WEIGHT LOSS METHOD #5

   Create small goals for yourself. Write down a list of small things you can do to improve your lifestyle. We all know that it is difficult to make huge changes to our lifestyles.

   So try accomplishing smaller goals. Once you accomplish them, you will begin to feel good about yourself. Forget about what others are doing or have done. This is about you and striving to do better on a personal level. Small accomplishments accumulate over time.

WEIGHT LOSS METHOD #6

   Identify your self-sabotaging thoughts and stop them from entering your head. The best way to do this is to stop being overly critical of yourself. When you think you can not do something, you probably will give up before you even try.

    If you do not think you can do 30 sit-ups, then do 10 and feel good that you did 10. You can probably do one extra sit-up each day until you reach 30. Identifying why something makes you feel bad can help prevent those situations in the future.

WEIGHT LOSS METHOD #7

   Times will get tough, especially when you are trying to lose weight, so surround yourself with people who are supportive. Choose a healthy weight loss program that comes with a personal wellness coach.

  Seek friends and family members to help you. Having a healthy social network is better for your overall health. Dieters who have friends and family pulling for them achieve better success than those who try to go it alone.

   If you apply one or all of these methods into your weight loss plan you will surely begin to see faster results. Your body achieves what your mind believes. It sounds corny, but it really is true. You are capable of losing weight and keeping it off for good, just as you are capable of doing anything else you set your mind to. You just have to believe in yourself.

How to Lose Weight Fast

People ask me this question on a daily basis. If I had a pound for every time someone asked me, I would be a very rich man (or a very fat one!) In this article I am going to uncover the mystery surrounding weight, or rather fat, loss. Many people think that there is a special exercise or something slim, toned people do that is different to what you do - I'm here to spill the beans.

Losing weight is not rocket science! It just comes down to a few key points:

1) Not all foods are equal, and a calorie is not the same across the board. 

You might tell yourself that you're allowed a Caramel Latte; after all it's only 250 calories and you know you have a daily limit of 2,000. Right? Sorry, but no! Firstly you need to take into consideration the hormonal effect the food or liquid will have on your body.

Science is only discovering now that different foods react differently when ingested. A latte has a high sugar content which causes your body to release insulin, and insulin is a fat storage hormone. (The caffeine in the coffee also leads to the release of cortisol, which is a hormone that breaks down protein.) As a result that innocent little latte has turned your body into a sponge to store all the calories as body fat.

 200 calories from, for example, a sweet potato will affect your body differently. The sweet potato contains complex carbohydrates which take longer to break down than simple carbohydrates (like sugar in your latte) and, as a result, eating a potato leads to a lower insulin spike. Because the sweet potato takes longer to digest (those complex carbohydrates) insulin will be secreted over a longer period and this helps to keeping your levels stable and is less likely to cause fat storage.

So, what should you be eating?

 Foods that are unprocessed must be your first choice. Think of anything in its natural form and it's probably good to eat. Calories from fruit need to be treated with a little caution. Fruits contain fructose (in simple language 'fruit sugar') along with lots of other things, like fibre, vitamins and minerals. But sugar causes an insulin spike, which leads to fat storage, so it is advised that you limit your fruit intake to 3 pieces a day, preferably eaten before midday. You can eat as many vegetables as you like. Green vegetables are especially good for you; starch vegetables are less good for you.

2) New science backs the theory that meal frequency is a thing of the past.

 Scientific research states that the number of meals you eat in a day doesn't matter as long as you eat enough of the right kind of food and stick to your calorie limit. However, I disagree. I find that small complete meals (protein, carbohydrates and fats ) are the best and should be spaced out every 3 to 4 hours. And here's why:

- the longer you wait to eat the more prone you are of binge eating. If you are eating every 3 hours your blood sugar levels will remain constant and you won't want to binge on sweets or cakes especially in the late afternoons and evenings.

- I believe that the scientific study is flawed. The people used in the controlled study may not be sufficiently like me for the results of that study to apply. For example I am a man, I'm 25, I weigh 205lbs, with 10% body fat, I watch my diet and I train regularly. If the test subjects are middle aged men who don't train or have never dieted a day in their lives then it is arguable that the study results will not be applicable to me. Small, frequent meals have been used by body builders for decades. This method is still used, simply because it still works! I like that logic!

3) Weight training is something I believe everyone should do at least 4 times a week. 

It could be argued that this is too frequent and that there is a risk of overtraining. However, I don't believe there is such thing as overtraining, but I do believe that you can under rest and under eat. Your weight training program should be the core of your plan to get in to shape. Compound movements will help get rid of your flabby tummy and arms, and exercises like squat, lunges and dead lifts should be used almost daily.

Remember that it's not about how much you can lift - you're not a weight lifter! It's all about engaging the muscle and keeping tension on it at all times. Commit yourself to doing your best when you train, each and EVERY session. You should be out of breath after every set; you should need to recover after every set. The intensity of your workout is what keeps you losing weight after you have dropped those first few pounds (which is usually mostly water from fluid retention).

4) Many people believe that cardio is the way to lose weight.

Cardio, I'm afraid, is last on the list! The key is eating (what, how and when), then weight training, and finally cardio. However cardio is important and should be done at least 5 times a week at a minimum heart rate of 130bpm. Too much cardio can be counter-productive; 30 minutes is ideal.

Finally, as a guide for you - men should aim to lose a minimum of 2 pounds a week; anything less than this and you're probably doing something wrong. Women should expect to lose a minimum of 1 pound a week - again, anything less than this would indicate that you're doing something wrong.

Five Healthy Resolutions To Make for 2014

   At the beginning of every New Year, we are all thinking of ways to improve our lives. It is the perfect time to start fresh. We feel as though we can leave the past behind and head into the future with goals in mind that create a better lifestyle. With the proper guidance and realistic expectations there is no reason why you cannot achieve these accomplishments.

   The following are five healthy resolutions you can not only make, but follow through on in 2014.

Lose Weight

   It's the number one resolution each year. People spend large amounts of time and money trying to lose weight. Unfortunately most will either fail or give up. This is usually due to using the wrong approach. While surgery and pills may work at first, the results are not always long term.

   Shedding pounds with a natural weight loss supplement plan can be quite effective. A natural approach involves making changes in your exercise program, diet, and supplements. Supplements can raise your metabolism, help the body burn fat, increase energy, keep your mood up, and suppress one's appetite.

Reduce Stress

   In order to reduce stress; you need to understand what causes it. Does being late to work stress you? Or how about spending precious time searching for misplaced or lost items?

   By getting organized you can eliminate many of the triggers for stress. Imagine waking up and being able to get dressed, eat, and get out the door without complications. Wouldn't it be nice to be on top of things at home and work, knowing exactly where everything is?

   If organizing your surroundings feels over whelming, hire a professional service to help you. They can clean, de-clutter, and reorganize just about any area in your life. Best of all, they can set up a routine for you to follow that will keep you organized and stress free.

Exercise More

   Exercise creates more health benefits than any other activity. It doesn't have to be expensive, yet it can reduce the risk of many cancers, help with weight loss, and increase your life span, lift moods, improve arthritis, reduce Digestive Disorders, and lower blood pressure.

    You'll end up feeling and looking healthier.
There are several ways to start an exercise program. Joining a local gym or hiring a professional trainer are ideal, but can be costly. The same results can be achieved by working with what you have. Take walks around the neighborhood or use a workout video in your own home.

Eat Healthier

   Eating healthier is very easy to do. Don't look at it as a sacrifice. It is more of an opportunity to improve your life. You'll find you will have fewer Digestive Disorders to deal with. A little information on food can help you get started.

   Choose the right carbohydrates. Select complex carbs. This would be vegetables, grains, oats, and whole grain flour. These items have higher fiber, nutrients, and vitamins. Also seek out leafy greens and whole grain breads. Don't skip proteins. Your body needs them. Find them in foods such as fish, poultry, beans, and nuts.

Get Adequate Sleep

   Lack of sleep and Sleep Disorders are very common. When you wake up you should be feeling alert and refreshed. Sleep is needed for over-all health and happiness. During sleep the brain still functions, providing the required maintenance your body needs.

   Adults should get between seven to nine hours of sleep each night. If you are having trouble with Sleep Disorders that won't allow you to get more rest, seek the help of a medical professional.

Can You Really Lose Weight While Watching Television?

   A lot of us have lives where everything is close by. We were made for motion but a lot of times we find ourselves not doing anything.

   We were made to run across the desert and things such as that but we find ourselves leading a life that consists of just going to the bed, getting to the dining room, and getting to the car.

   Now all of us have to work various jobs that sometimes make us sit on chairs for the whole day. To get the exercise we need, we go to the gym or go outside.

   Experts on weight loss say that the reason why a lot of people are obese is because they do not do any physical activity. Therefore it is necessary for us to move around and regularly get exercise.

   But running track is not the only thing that will stop us from getting obese. Exercise is actually not the only thing we need. Just doing this will not really change your lifestyle that greatly. What is important is that you partner this with your diet.

   Aside from these two factors, a good night's rest is also necessary. One has to be well-rested if he wishes to be able to exercise well. If a person is tired, any physical activity will feel like torture. He will only find himself weak and exhausted. Studies also prove that those who do not rest well enough are also likely to eat more the rest of the day.

   One of the easiest things that you can do is walking. It is also among the most effective. Brisk walking for about 30 minutes per day is already a good benefit to our bodies. If you find the weather bad, you can just go on a treadmill at home or in the fitness center near you. In fact, you can even watch your favorite TV shows while you are on the treadmill.

   Most people find no time to exercise the entire day. You can fix this by going on a quick walk during lunchtime or you can try to wake up 30 minutes earlier than you normally have to.

   Plainly the best methods for losing weight is doing exercise. It's totally your decision how much you want to adjust your life to make the changes in your body that you want. But you can do it using the things mentioned above, and get back to the weight you once knew and enjoyed.

Lose Weight While You Watch TV & Get Maximum Benefits From Using A Spin Bike

     Spinning is a term for indoor, stationary cycling. Spin bikes have fixed racing handlebars, pedals with shoes straps so that you don't slip, adjustable bike seat and adjustable handle bar crank.

    This is great, because it's important that you are sitting in the right position depending on your height for maximum comfort and results. The intensity of your spinning workout session on the spin bike can be adjusted with either a resistance knob or gear lever. Depending on the type of spin bike you're looking at, some of the higher quality spin bikes come with a gear lever which offers up to 8 gear changes for harder workouts.

    While spinning classes are very popular, more and more people are buying spin bikes for home use as time restraints, and hectic lifestyles make it very difficult to get to scheduled spinning classes on time.
While a typical spinning bike class lasts for up to 40 minutes, every minute working out on your spin bike does count! Remember...your muscles can't count time so if you've only got 12 or 5 or 17 minutes....go for a spin on your exercise bike! It will still make a difference! Like all exercise programs, start out with a warm up and gradually build up speed and resistance as your fitness levels increase!

    People of all ages and fitness levels can enjoy spinning on the spin bike and because the impact is so low, if you're after an exercise program that doesn't add stress to the joints, but still want to burn maximum calories, then a spinning exercise program may be what you're after!

   A spinning exercise routine using your spin bike will work out a few different muscles groups. These include the quadriceps (thighs), hamstrings (back of the thighs), hips, gluteus maximus (bum), and abdominal muscles. As you can see...your spinning exercise routine can really get great results if you go for it!

   Spinning indoors on your spin bike is a perfect way to exercise all year round because you never have to worry about the weather. You can watch TV, read a book or really ramp it up for an intense training session! It all depends on the outcome of your exercise session.

   I recommend investing in a pair of proper cycling shorts as after a while you may need the extra padding! For those looking for an exercise that really works your bum, spinning on a spin bike will give you great results here! By the way, make sure you drink plenty of water during your spinning exercise program. Very important!

   If you have any ailments, injuries or queries, firstly consult with your personal trainer, a fitness instructor or a physician. Make sure your seat is in the right position and the handlebars have been adjusted to suit you. Your knees should be slightly bent when positioned at the bottom of the stroke pedal. Your elbows should be slightly bent, with your arms a comfortable distance from the handlebars. Keep adjusting them until you've got it right!

   Spinning on your spin bike in the comfort of your own home is an excellent, safe and fun way to burn those unwanted kilos while increasing your fitness level. Because you can jump on your spin bike any time of the day (even if it's only for a few minutes), you will see results fast if you keep it up! Mixed with a healthy eating plan, spinning on your spin bike will have you feeling like an athlete in no time at all!

A Good Night's Sleep Can Help You Lose Weight

Losing weight is never easy, but it's certainly not something that you want to lose sleep over. As a matter of fact, sleep may be just the thing you need to help you lose those extra pounds.

Women need at least 6 to 8 hours of sleep each day to allow their bodies to heal and rejuvenate. Not getting enough rest can leave you feeling tired and irritable but lack of sleep can cause other health problems and may even be responsible for making you retain weight.

When you don't get enough sleep, your body doesn't get a chance to properly revive and cortisol levels become increased, which can stimulate hunger. Another reason that you might find yourself eating more is because without the satisfaction of a good night's sleep, the body is literally starving for fulfillment. However, women who eat less but get fewer than six hours of rest can end up gaining weight instead of losing it.

For women, not getting enough sleep is worse for the body than it is for men. Unfortunately women, more often than men, report problems in falling asleep at night and find themselves awake, sometimes an hour or more after lying down to go to sleep. Financial and family worries were the main reasons that women had difficulty falling asleep. Men, it seems, although still plagued with the same concerns, did not experience the problems with sleep that women had.

When women fail to get adequate sleep it is noticeable because many times it shows in the face. Dark circles, premature wrinkling and signs of aging become apparent in a woman's face when there is a problem with sleep deprivation. In addition, the weight gain causes bloating and puffiness that is unattractive and for the woman who is concerned about her image, these signs are unacceptable, especially when the answer is simply sleep.

Walking to Lose Weight - 2 Tricks to Losing a Lot of Weight Fast

Interested in walking to lose weight?

 Well, before you start a walking program, you need to know 2 simple things you can do to burn up to 30% more calories and lose weight really fast while walking.
If you don't do these 2 things, then your typical walking program won't get you the fast weight loss results you're hoping for.

Walking to Lose Weight - 2 Tricks

1. Walk on an incline


Just walking on a flat surface is fine for long term weight loss, but it's pathetic for fast and IMMEDIATE weight loss. So why wait when you can make a simple adjustment... walking on an incline.
Walk up a hill... or I much prefer you to incline a treadmill 10 or 15 degrees and walk on it 15-20 minutes a day. Try it once and you'll be a believer. Within a few short weeks you'll see noticeable changes to your body.

2. Deep breathing while walking

The more oxygen you can inhale while walking, the more calories you'll burn off. Deep breathing does the trick. Here's how you do it.
Every minute you're walking you're going to take a deep breath... inhale for 5 seconds, hold it for 5 seconds, and exhale for 5 seconds. Nothing more, nothing less. Just keep doing it for the total 15-20 minutes you walk.

It's like a DOUBLE WHAMMY for weight loss when you combine incline walking with deep breathing. Your weight loss results will skyrocket. Heck, if you don't believe me, I challenge you to prove me wrong.
Walking to lose weight is great... especially when you combine the above 2 techniques for accelerated weight loss.

So I hope you use walking to lose weight... BUT...
If you're sick and tired of getting the same old boring and tired weight loss advice... you know, like "Eat more fruits and vegetables, drink 8 glasses of water, jog, and blah blah blah"... then you found the right person. I'll make weight loss easy and enjoyable for you... AND NOT BORING!

Sleep And Weight Loss - Sleep Is An Essential Part

Sleep and weight loss are inseparable companions. When you skimp on your sleep, you can't hope to lose weight in a healthy way. Sleep is an essential part of your health. If you don't sleep well or long enough, this can be one reason you can't lose weight or can't keep it off.

In our crazy, frantic world, where production rules and your earning capacity for your company is king, you may not be getting enough sleep to be healthy.

Working long hours or not having time to unwind after a busy day can be a cause of restless nights. Being anxious about how you are performing at world, or if you are facing being out of work, can lead to anxiety. Anxiety is a great sleep depriver.

As a rough estimate, most people need around eight hours of sleep a night. However, this varies with each individual. It's also more a question of the quality of the sleep, than the length of time you sleep. Taking sleeping pills, may mean you are getting some sleep, but they do not give you quality sleep. It is common to feel drugged or tired after taking them.

And it can be far more beneficial to have two shorter sleeps in a day, than one long one. The Mediterranean idea of an afternoon siesta and a shorter night sleep can be far healthier, wherever you are in the world. Sadly, the current work based world doesn't allow for this, outside the Mediterranean area.

Sleep is the time when you recharge your batteries. It is absolutely essential for your health. Sleep and weight loss are partners, just as sleep and health are.

Education facilities realise that children and adults cannot focus for more than around an hour (much less in reality) at any one time. They allow for short breaks every hour, so that the student can rest their eyes and their concentration, and go into the next session revived.

You should do the same at work if you job requirers a lot of focus and concentration, particularly looking at a computer screen. These breaks are highly beneficial. It means you don't keep piling up the work and the anxiety. Quality sleep at night is more likely to occur.

After work, many people are just as frantic to get their family and household jobs done. This means they are still running on supercharge when it comes to bedtime. It is impossible to go to sleep when you are highly charged, when you are still revving from all your activity.

Let some of the less important parts of your day fall by the wayside. The housework will still be there tomorrow.

By combining things you need to do, you can be more time efficient. For example, time with your children is important for you both. By getting them to help in the meal preparation gives you the opportunity of quality time together, teaches them an essential skill of life and gets their creative juices working.

Relaxing and unwinding before bedtime will ensure you have quality sleep. Don't partake in activities which require a lot of concentration before bedtime. It's probably better not to run a marathon at this time either.

Can Sleep Contribute to Weight Loss?

Sleep is essential for weight loss and our overall health and well-being. Sleep will rejuvenate our immune system, nervous system and the entire physical body. It also assists the repair and growth of our muscles and other cells of the body. During this period of rest, the human consciousness is absent.

It's really important that we get a good night sleep every night. This fact holds true if we exercise daily or not.

I believe that we need a minimum of at least seven to eight hours of sleep every day. If one fails to have sufficient sleep every night then both the body and the mind are bound to be affected in a negative way.

Over a period of time that a person does not get the sleep he or she needs, they start to accumulate what is sometimes called sleep debt. Sleep debt is also known as sleep deprivation.

Sleep debt is the result of lacking sleep for a long period of time and eventually the person becomes more tired than normal on a daily basis. Symptoms from depriving one's own self of sleep show both mentally and physically.

Some of the mental symptoms include; irritability, moodiness, inaccurate thinking, confusion, hallucination, memory loss, inability to concentrate, increased tendency to think negatively.

Physical symptoms may show themselves as; headaches, hand tremors, muscle aches and pain, developed bags under the eyes, yawning, weight gain, weight loss, increased sensitivity to cold and hot temperatures, increased blood pressure, increased stress.

The above is not a list of all the symptoms from the lack of sleep, but they are plenty. Depriving your self of sleep means to increase your stress level both mentally and physically. And stress in general is not good for a person wanting to lose some extra baggage.

When you sleep, it is important to be comfortable. If you have to, keep any television or noise maker (technology) out of the bedroom as it can have an effect on your sleep. Sleep in a quiet room with the lights out. Any distraction can pull your mind away from proper rest.

Sleep and Metabolism

Your metabolism does not stop when you sleep. In fact, it slows down slightly but remains active to process any food in your system. There is an old adage that says "all work and no play makes jack a dull boy."

It's true. To keep a healthy lifestyle both mentally and physically, you also require relaxation. Relaxation is not just about sleeping or taking time to sit down and relax but to do something you enjoy.

Be it a hobby like building model airplanes or reading a book to your liking. Relaxation is much like sleep in the fact that it helps rejuvenate your overall wellbeing.

Waking up, eating, going to work and then taking time for exercise should be followed by play and relaxation - every day.

It's insufficient to give yourself the excuse that you "don't have the time" or "I can't do it".

Not too much and not too little, but just enough.

Find a good balance of sleep and relaxation. The following are 4 questions you should give some serious thought to:

• What do you enjoy doing?
• Do you enjoy reading and/or writing?
• Do you enjoy playing a musical instrument?
• Do you want to start a business?

Whatever it is, make time for it.

Another way to experience relaxation is to sit down in a comfortable chair, where you won't be disturbed, and sit in silence. Some call it meditation and others call it a few minutes of peace.

Give your mind a rest and your body will rest, too! Take this time to sit down or lie down and just keep a clear mind. Hold no thought of what you have to do later or the next day or week; just clear your mind away from all the hustle and bustle of the outside world and breathe.

Walking Will Aid Weight Loss

Walking is so easy, people forget how helpful it can be when trying to lose or maintain weight. Granted, running burns more calories, but there are ways to increase your walking efficiency.

First, notice how fast you walk, do you just stroll along or do you walk with a purpose?

 If you have access to a treadmill, this is the easiest way to judge your walking speed. Start slowly, then build up your tempo until you can walk quite briskly but comfortably.

Count steps to yourself so you can develop a cadence, then you can keep this speed off the treadmill. Perhaps a pedometer would be a good tool for you. Walking briskly is usually measured as 3 to 3.5 miles an hour. If you can walk a mile in 15 minutes, that is just the right speed. Taking shorter, quicker strides as you increase your speed takes advantage of the natural power of the walking motion.
 
Always use good posture while walking. If you find yourself slumping, lift your ribcage and this will keep you erect and your breathing will be easier. Good posture also decreases stress on your back and shoulders. If you swing your arms holding your elbows at a 90 degree angle, this creates a natural motion which adds a little more intensity. Give yourself a goal; pick out a landmark to reach. When you get there, choose another and keep the intensity of arriving there quickly.

While you are walking to burn calories, try to walk for at least an hour, because time is more important than speed for losing weight. Walking has added benefits of toning your leg muscles and helping stave off bone loss. When you diet, the initial weight loss is usually muscle and water. Walking helps increase your metabolism and will aid in keeping that lost weight from returning.

 If you can walk briskly for 60 minutes a day, studies show that you will burn 300 to 500 extra calories. By adding a walk to your health plan, you could possibly lose an extra 3-4 pounds in a month just from walking with purpose and even reshape your figure.

 If an hour seems to daunting, try three 20 minute walks a week, or even just get up several times a day and move around. These steps may encourage you to do more.

Lose Weight While You Walk

Of all of the exercise programs, walking is maybe the most straightforward and cheapest. You can burn as much as three thousand calories a month by walking just one mile a day. You do not have to walk briskly or do power walking to shed weight.

In reality merely a peaceful walk can burn more calories than if you walk at a fast pace. You shed the pounds by burning more calories than you're taking in so any sort of physical exercise like walking will help you to shed pounds.

It's advocated that you spend at least 30 mins a day doing some variety of activity. When you're just beginning your walking regimen, many professionals endorse concentrating on distance before you concentrate on speed. If you get too wrapped up on your power, you can burn out before you have established your walking routine on an once a day basis.

 You can burn approximately the same number of calories with a short, fast walk as with a long, slower walk. The most important factor in your overall success will be your consistency. Ensure that you select the correct mix of pace and power that keeps the exercise fun for you. There'll be some days that you wish to take a long walk. Others, you may wish to power walk, burn some energy, and truly get your heart pumping.

You need to find your overall fitness will improve and you need to notice you are feeling better. When your energy level starts to extend you may know you are on the correct path. The health benefits you get from regular exercise might not always clear but the unseen enhancements should get you excited.

Your risk for heart problems should be lower together with improved blood pressure. There also are many methodologies that may help you build muscle tone as you walk. Focus on keeping a good posture, for instance, flex your leg muscles and hold in your belly.

Targeting good walking methodologies like these will help you maximise the time you spend in your walking shoes. Get a pedometer to gauge the miles you walk and calories that you burn. This can give you a motivation and incentivize you.

A walking routine is a good way to enjoy all the advantages of regular physical exercise.

4 Pieces of Equipment That Help You Lose Weight While Walking

The advantage of using walking as a main part of your weight loss program is that it is free. It costs nothing to walk a couple of blocks, or to march to the top of that hill (and back down again).

But just because it is free to do doesn't mean there aren't useful pieces of equipment to help you lose weight whilst walking.

Of the equipment below only a good pair of shoes is really essential, the rest are a benefit to you... but we do wholeheartedly recommend them.

1 A good pair of walking shoes

The last thing you want is a cheap pair of ill fitting shoes giving you blisters, making you miss walks and stopping you losing as much weight as you would otherwise. A good pair of walking shoes, either walking boots or trainers depending on what you are doing, will support and comfort the foot, not rub and blister it. No matter what else you do make sure you get a good pair of walking shoes, your feet and back (and waistline!) will thank you for it.

2 An MP3 Player

Possibly the most fun you can have whilst walking. An MP3 player allows you to bop along to your favorite songs, play some massively inspirational tunes to push you on harder, to listen to your favorite book in audio format or even learn a new language with the hundreds of audio courses out there! However you choose to use it MP3 players can be both cheap and fun when you are walking to lose weight.

3 Pedometer as a weight loss tool

Not the most essential piece of equipment when trying to lose weight walking, but an extremely useful one and once you get one you'll wonder how you lived without it! A wonderful tool for any weight loss program, this little gadget is about the same size as a pager and clips onto your belt/shorts etc. As you walk it will measure how many steps you take, which is great for pushing your walking against targets.
On top of that most will take these steps walked and use them to estimate how far you have traveled and how many calories you have burnt... a great way of motivating yourself to walk that little bit further and lose that little bit more weight!

 4 Ankle or wrist weights

For those looking for a little extra challenge some simple ankle or wrist weights, which strap on very easily, can add a change of pace. The idea behind these is that the extra weight on your arms or legs will cause you to burn more calories doing the same walk you would otherwise do, helping you to lose weight. The added weight will also help tone muscles and strip fat in the target areas.
So there we go, 4 very useful, and cheaply available, pieces of equipment that will help you lose weight by walking. Now get yourself out there and start burning those calories, you'll have dropped some inches from your waist before you know it!

Success While Walking For Weight Loss

Walking is an excellent way to begin an exercise program for weight loss.

 It is ideal if you are used to a sedentary lifestyle. You probably won't be able to jump right into heavy aerobic exercise right away, you'll need to build up your tolerance and stamina first. That isn't to say walking is only for people who are out of shape. It is good for all fitness levels and actually be quite an intense workout if done right.

Fitness experts recommend you get 150 minutes each week of moderate intensity exercise. Typically this is divided into five thirty minute sessions, but if you don't have time to do thirty minutes at a time, you can further break it down into two 15 minute daily walks. The walks shouldn't be leisurely though, push your self into the moderately intense level. You'll know you're there if your heart rate and respiratory rate have increased but you still have enough wind to carry on a conversation.

Brisk walking burns approximately 140 calories in thirty minutes, but it offers other benefits as well besides just weight loss. It strengthens your cardiovascular system and helps ward off type 2 diabetes, depression, and weak bones. There are many health benefits to walking. Jumpstarting your metabolism and helping you lose weight is an added benefit.

Walking is free and easy to do just about anywhere. Remember to keep safety in mind. Walk with a group or friend if possible, or walk in a facility or mall where others are around. Wear reflective clothing if you are out walking at dawn or dusk and don't forget to buy proper walking shoes that support your arches.

It is also a good idea to do gentle stretching exercises before you begin. If it has been quite a while since you engaged in physical activity, you should start slow and build up to thirty minutes at a time so you can avoid soreness and injury. Swing your arms when you walk so you have good balance, plus it will help you burn more calories.

Your walking session should be broken into three parts. When you begin your walk, this is the warm up phase where you gradually build up speed to a brisk walk. Once your muscles are warmed up, you can maintain the brisk walk for most of your session if you can tolerate it.

You may need to speed up and slow down. If you get so out of wind, you are unable to speak comfortably; you have gone beyond moderate intensity exercise and should slow down. The last few minutes of your walk should be spent in a cool down phase where your pace slows down and your heart rate is allowed to return to normal.

Walking is not only great exercise and the perfect addition to your weight loss plan, it is also an enjoyable activity and one you can share with friends and family of all ages.

You Can Burn Calories And Lose Weight While Walking Or Running On A Treadmill

The overall hope of any exercise program is that you will tone up your body and reach a high level of fitness. For many people there is also the hope that you can lose weight in the process.

There are only 3 ways that you can expect to lose weight.

Reduce the number of calories you consume
Expend more calories than you consume
A combination of both through diet and exercise.

Working out on a treadmill is one of the best ways to exercise and burn calories, which will result in weight loss.

If you walk on a treadmill at a slow pace for 30 minutes you can burn about 150 calories. If you workout 4 times a week, that would amount to about 31,000 calories burned. Since a pound of fat contains 3,500 calories, in a year you should lose 9 or 10 pounds, and that's with only 2 hours of exercise a week.

The settings you have available on a treadmill will give you an almost unlimited number of exercise variations that you can use in your workouts. You can adjust the speed faster or slower, the incline can be adjusted up to equal a very steep hill and you can set the machine to vary both of these settings automatically.

If you walk at an average pace of about 2 mph you can expect to lose around 110 calories if you weigh 200 lbs. Running or walking at 5 mph can up the calorie burn to about 150.

As you can see, the longer the distance or the faster the speed, the greater the number of calories that will be burned.

It doesn't matter what category of walker you are, beginner or advanced, you can still lose weight by walking on a treadmill.
As a beginner you should strive to walk longer until your legs are stronger. Even if you don't increase your speed, by extending your distance you will gain more muscle, burn fat and lose weight.

If you are an advanced walker, try increasing your incline on the machine and then increase your distance. The greater incline will give you a fantastic cardiovascular benefit and the longer distance will burn more fat and calories.

As you develop and strengthen your muscles you will continue to lose weight long after your workout. Your basal metabolic rate will have increased and your body will continue the calorie burning, resulting in more weight loss.

Adjusting your treadmill to do interval training will increase your health benefits even more. Interval training involves changing speeds by alternating faster than slower numerous times, changing inclines from level to higher then down to mid range and all points in between. This constant change of speed and incline will give you a fantastic work out that will develop muscles, increase lung capacity and strengthen your heart.

You don't have to be a super athlete to use a treadmill for greater health benefits. It doesn't matter if you are a real couch potato or a triathlon competitor, there are workout routines for you that can be done on a treadmill. You can burn more calories and fat to help you lose weight. Your heart and lungs can develop and increase their capacity to function, which will give you better health and a much better outlook on life.

One of the best benefits about working out on a treadmill is that you can do it in the safety and comfort of your own home. No more running out to a gym or trying to walk when the weather is bad and you never have to worry about who may be lurking, out there, as you walk.
