Maintain Your Natural Weight


Natural weight loss means lowering your daily calorie intake while increasing the amount of calories you burn through exercise; few ever listen to this suggestion. If it were that simple, which it should be, most slimming companies would be out of business; a third of overweight Americans and millions globally, would disagree with this advice. Despite this, most of these overweight people want to be trim again although it is probably more for cosmetic reasons than those related to their health.

The strange thing is though that it is so much easier to stay trim than it is to lose weight because as soon as you start putting on weight, many things become more difficult. Nevertheless weight maintenance is something that has to be worked on and planned otherwise we will put on extra pounds.

For some reason even when dieters who have become used to, and enjoy, a low calorie diet, they eventually drift back to old habits and start piling the pounds back on again. Natural weight loss is possible though and it can be done before you get stared at in the street or cause others problems because of your weight.

Most health experts contend that the significance of excess weight is more than cosmetic as it takes a huge toll on a person's physical health. If you think about it, losing excess weight by natural methods is the most acceptable way to get rid of those extra pounds but too many people want a 'quick fix' system.

Some people worry about what foods they will eat on a natural weight loss program but it is just a case of having a combination of, protein, carbohydrate and fiber. A typical meal like this would be a jacket potato with vegetables and some lean meat, which would be healthy and give the balance you require.

Unfortunately, dietary fat contains higher amounts of calories than ordinary food which when consumed will just be converted to body fat more readily. Another problem is the obsession with fat free or low fat foods that food manufactures are stacking the shelves with which despite their popularity are not stopping the problem of obesity.

One of the greatest delusions of the 1990s was that no fat meant non-fattening but the truth is you are often getting just as many calories from these foods; the calories are just not coming from fat. If you really want to lose weight through a program you will need to dump the fat free products and eat small healthy snacks that are high in nutrition.

Schools of thought differ on this subject but many nutritionists agree that eating smaller meals with a snack every 3 to four hours or between meals could be beneficial providing main meals are not missed. The secret to natural weight loss is easy if you just obey it; do not eat more than your body requires through normal activities and exercise.

Importance of Parallel Lines of the Feet

Importance of Parallel Lines of the Feet

Why is it important to keep the feet parallel in poses like Tadasana, Sirsasana, Pincha mayurasana and vasisthasana? The links of sacro iliac, lumbar vertebrae and ilio psoas in those poses.

30 years ago, when BKS Iyengar first observed my Tadasana (Standing Mountain Pose) in a Teacher Training class in India, he abruptly stopped the entire class and had all other students gather around closely to observe my feet. Embarrassed but willing to learn, I thought I had an innate ‘body intelligence’ having had 15 years of ballet and modern dance training, and so I thought I was probably standing well enough in my feet. “How can you prepare to teach others when you yourself do not even know the parallel lines of the feet?!” he roared at me.  He then ordered two students to bring a wooden block each and place each on the outside edges of my feet in exactly parallel lines. I was instructed to shift my weight to the outside edges of my feet to feel the blocks. Another block he placed in between my inner thighs and demanded I press into that block. What I thought was parallel was not parallel at all!
    
Thus began my awareness of my feet being “turned out”, and my weak inner thighs from too many years of forced external rotation due to ballet training. I had been externally rotating from the hip joints for so long that I had little sense of an inward rotation from the hip joints. New muscles began to ache as I held these parallel lines for minutes that seemed like hours. The problem with forced external rotation (as in ballet training) is that then the pelvis tilts forward so that the lumbar is over-arched causing lordosis, and the lower floating ribs at the front body protrude forward causing the “proud stance” of a dancer. Over time this creates compression of the lumbar spine, compression in the sacro-iliac joint, stresses the knee joint into hyper-extension, and weakens the deep in ilio-psoas muscles. And I thought I had good posture!
             
The complex knee joint – little did I know how I was weakening my knee joints by standing, walking, squatting, etc. with the feet turned out and the knees taking the stress!  Many dancers, over time, begin to suffer knee pain and I now began to understand why. In the Iyengar yoga method of practicing asanas – we start in Tadasana and align the feet and knees and hips parallel. Starting from the feet and working up – the knees are strengthened in parallel lines – this is extremely important for the knee joint. The knee joint supports the weight of the body. The center of gravity in the erect position passes through the femoral condyles at the knee joint. The knee joint acts as a fulcrum for two of the longest bones of the body (femur - thigh bone, and tibia – bone of lower leg).  The ligaments attaching the inner and outer knee joint are strengthened equally as we consciously stand in Tadasana lifting the kneecaps as a result of lifting the toes. Try this simple but effective practice to align and strengthen the knees – Stand in Tadasana with both feet exactly parallel. Observe the weight in the feet in a ‘tripod’ triangle base – 3 points: mound of the big toe, mound of the little toe, and the heel. Lift everything else up – lift the toes, left the arches of the feet, and feel how the kneecaps also lift. This simple practice will engage the large muscles of the front of the thighs (quadriceps) and strengthen the lateral (outer) and medial (inner) connective tissue of the knees.

There is a major muscle of the thigh that had been ignored in my dance training and was re-ignited in the above example of squeezing the block between my inner thighs. The sartorius muscle runs diagonally from the outer hip joint to just below the inner knee at the tibia (lower leg bone). This is the strong, long muscle that is strengthened in all standing poses in parallel lines. It is also engaged in asanas such as Setu Bandhasana where the knees are bent and the weight of the pelvis is lifted up from the floor keeping the knees directly over the toes. The action of keeping the knees directly over the toes in standing bent-knee poses will protect the inner and outer knee connective tissue. When the feet are not parallel and the knees are bent slightly pronating, (falling inward) there is tremendous stress on the knee joints and injuries can happen – whether in standing poses, reclining bent knee poses or sports activities. Being conscious of the feet and how the weight is placed in the feet – right through the center of the feet – will automatically transfer up to strengthen the knees, the strong quadriceps and sartorius muscles of the thighs and help to stabilize the pelvis.

As we travel up the body – standing in Tadasana – the next important postural muscle group is the Ilio-psoas. The consciousness of the parallel lines of the feet, the knees, and the hips will then anchor the pelvis so that the front and back waist can be equally stretched.  In the case of lordosis (over arching lumbar vertebrae due to external rotation of the hips, pronating the weight in the feet and other misalignments of the feet), the ilio-psoas becomes over-extended and weak. This deep-in muscle group that forms the principal flexors of the thighs and supports the lumbar spine as it attaches along the vertebral column is not easily palpated.

In challenging inverted yoga poses such as Sirsanana (Headstand), and Pincha Mayurasana (Elbow Balance) – bringing awareness to the feet – with the feet connected will bring balance and stillness to the practice as the body seeks the midline. This midline will transfer into the deep-in ilio-psoas allowing the torso to be stretched equally front and back, and the lumbar vertebrae to lengthen.

With years of practicing the parallel lines of the feet in Tadasana, the student can bring that awareness, that familiar weight-bearing centered alignment - in the middle of both feet - to poses which challenge balance on one hand, one foot, the elbows, shoulders, and crown of the head.  Vasisthasana, for instance, where the student is balancing only on the outside edge of one foot and one hand – will become steady and strong if the consciousness of the feet parallel in Tadasana is brought to the practice.

In fact, it is no exaggeration to say that if sufficient time and practice of Tadasana – the awareness of the parallel lines of the feet in Tadasana – is brought to each and every asana – that student’s practice will be more confident, steady and strong, and rewarding as a result of paying attention to the small details of the feet.

Muscle Building Foods - Eat Your Way to Large Muscles

Muscle Building Foods - Eat Your Way to Large Muscles

This isn't the normal type of article I would post, but I find it has some very helpful nutrition advice for everyone;-)

You have to make sure you're eating all the right muscle building foods if your goal is to build more muscle. It's true: Just as there are certain kinds of foods make it easy for you to gain undesired weight, there are also certain foods that will help you gain muscle.

The first and most important step is to watch what you're feeding your body. Would you put just anything in your car's tank? If your body's fuel consists of fast food and processed junk, it's best to cut that out from your diet.

If anything, your diet is probably more important than your training. Scientists have actually claimed that muscle building consists of 15% training and 85% diet.

You only work out an hour or so a day, and during the other 20 something hours you are either eating, sleeping, or working, right? Well, doesn't it make sense to watch what you are eating since you spend more time eating than working out?

When you're about to build some muscle, protein is the most important component in muscle building foods. You'll find this in food like chicken, eggs, fish, and red meat. They are packed full of protein, which you need for energy.

Believe it or not, you also need to consume fat as part of your muscle building foods. Natural fat, none of that processed junk. You can find the good fat in steak, eggs, and peanut butter.

When you're consuming fats, make sure you avoid trans fat. It's evil, because it doesn't benefit your body in any way and could in fact harm you.

Carbohydrates, otherwise known as carbs, are the last of the three muscle building foods. You should be eating complex carbs throughout the day to keep up your energy.

Oatmeal, whole grain pasta, and brown rice are all complex carbohydrates that will keep your sugar levels in balance and give you the energy you need for your workouts.

Syrups and sugary drinks contain simple carbohydrates, so they need to be avoided. These are the kind of carbs that can pack pounds on your body, which can process only so much glucose.

If you need a handy reference to remember what kind of muscle building foods are best, feel free to print these guidelines out as a quick reference.

Break Through Your Weight Loss Plateau

Break Through Your Weight Loss Plateau

It’s been 3 months since you decided to take the initiative of living a healthier lifestyle. The fat has been melting away at a rapid pace leaving you feeling like a million bucks. Your confidence is at an all time high. You can’t believe how easy the weight loss journey has been.

Suddenly, two weeks have gone by and ironically the scale hasn’t gone down. There has to be something wrong with the scale. How can the weight loss just come to a screeching halt?

For almost everyone attempting to lose weight, there comes a point when they reach that inevitable plateau wall. Their motivation and determination are soaring but the results are sinking. Plateaus are going to happen. It’s what you do when the plateau comes that will determine your success.

Plateaus are a sign to charge things up again, modify your strategies and keep moving forward to your ultimate goal. Rather than throwing in the towel and going back to your old ways, try some of these tips to “reignite your engine.”

Mix-Up Your Workout


Variety is always an important factor in a weight loss program. Without change you might find yourself dreading going to the gym for your workout. You lose interest and just start going through the motions without much effort. On top of that, your body can become used to the same caloric burn and muscle action. You would be surprised at how well your body is able to adapt to the same stress put on it.

Fire up your metabolism by increasing the intensity of the workout. Increase the speed as you exercise and do short burst interval training. Another great way to increase the intensity is to cut your rest periods between sets. In other words, if you are resting for 1 minute between sets try shortening that to 45 seconds.

A general good guideline is to switch up your workout routine every 4-8 weeks depending on the program. I usually change my workout program every 6 weeks. This gives me enough time to make consistent progress yet not get bored with the same routine.

Add Some Muscle                


Yes even ladies can benefit from adding on some muscle. Trust me ladies, you will not look like Arnold Schwarzenegger if you pump a little iron. Muscle mass determines our basal metabolic rate (the number of calories burned daily during rest). More muscle can lead to more fat potentially being burned even while we are sitting on the couch.

If your fat loss continues to slow down, try adding some more intensity/weight to your resistance training program. Don’t stop your resistance training and add more cardio. I promise that is not the answer and will not help accelerate your fat loss.

Be Sure To Rest and Recover


Recovery is an essential part of any exercise program. Proper rest allows your muscle fibers to grow and prevents stress hormones from elevating when we over-train. You are essentially tearing your muscles in the gym during resistance training. It is the rest of the day when your muscles are repairing and being “built.”

Getting an adequate amount of sleep is also crucial for health. It is said that an hour of sleep before midnight is worth two hours after midnight. I am a firm believer in this statement. I find it comical when people brag about only getting 4 hours of sleep a night. I will continue to get my 7-8 hours of sleep each night, thank you very much!

Keep a Food Journal        


I realize this can be quite inconvenient and time consuming. However, it is a great way to see where your nutrition problems are arising. Often times people underestimate how many calories they are eating. Studies have shown that folks underestimate their caloric intake by as much as 40% on a daily basis.

A slice of bread here, a handful of chips there-it all adds up very quickly. When we are continuing to lose weight, we are more inclined to loosen up a bit on our nutrition plan. I am all about enjoying an occasional guilt-free meal, but just don’t make this a regular occurrence.

So for one week, write down everything you eat. Yes, even that little Hershey kiss that is only 40 calories. A food journal is an honest look into what you are actually eating, not what you “think” you might be eating. Food diaries allow you to realize where your “faults” are occurring. You might also think twice about eating that chocolate bar if you have to write it down.

If you are looking for an online food journal, FitDay.com is an awesome tool. It is free and extremely easy to use.

Just Chillax             


Chillax is not some type of muscle relaxer to help with muscle spasms. It is a slang word my friends and I use from time to time. It basically means to just take a chill pill and relax. You probably have enough stress in your life with work, relationships, and other obligations. The last thing you need is an additional layer of stress added to your hectic lifestyle.

Losing weight and living a healthy lifestyle should be a fun process. Does it take hard work and dedication? You Bet! However, it should be an enjoyable journey that allows you to feel better about yourself, not stressed to death.

I truly believe that stressing too much over fat loss or muscle gain can have a very negative impact on your body (I know this from first hand experience). Just Chillax and have fun with your health quest.

Evaluation of Miracle Weight loss Gadgets

Evaluation of Miracle Weight loss Gadgets

Who has not noticed an advertisement or so-called ‘infomercial’ (rather mis-informercial in case you request me) promotion a bodyweight loss device or slimming belt that miraculously may make you slim down with no actually doing jeu or altering your consuming habits. Frequent sensation alone dictates that such a point is hardly doable. Having said that, the advertisers are incredibly crafty and so they claim to accomplish the intention of losing quite a bit of bodyweight in minor time with even a lot less energy by using new, groundbreaking technologies.

Now, I am not a tech freak and I can not claim to know the many workings of infrared light/ warmth (Melt Belt and Sauna Belt, vibrations (Slimming Belt) or whichever ‘new’ technological know-how is made use of to supposedly reach bodyweight loss. So, if I instructed you these devices are worthless why really should you suspect me any much more compared to adverts? It really is really easy: you do not. Though I am an authority around the fields of diet and jeu medicine it is best to not believe that an individual person creating a claim.

Having said that, the United States Authorities has recognized that weight problems can be a swiftly rising predicament and that deceitful adverts for slimming pills can function present a wellbeing chance for men and women relying on these devices to lose bodyweight whenever they will not moreover operate out and change their diet. The Federal Trade Commission can be a government agency that monitors adverts for bogus or deceptive promises. In its brochure “Red Flag - Bogus Weight Reduction Claims” (downloadable at www.ftc.org; an illustrated version of this post is accessible at www.beautyhealthsource.com) the agency lists 7 ways to detect false adverts and products. Applying these 7 indicators you could check the adverts for Melt Belt, Sauna Belt, Slimming Belt and some other miracle bodyweight loss device for instance non-prescription food plan prescription drugs, dietary nutritional supplements, skin patches, creams, wraps or some other product which is worn around the entire body or rubbed into the skin. Rather than taking my word for it, use the FTC’s suggestions along with your own prevalent sensation to check if Melt Belt, Slimming Belt or perhaps the Sauna Belt can help you slim down - and keep it off.

You’re throwing your funds out the window if the product you buy promises to:
1. Cause significant bodyweight loss by donning it around the entire body or rubbing it into the skin.

You might consider the US government what you like, but honestly: why really should they publish a proactol guideline for much healthier residing and safeguarding men and women from product scams if their findings were not legitimate? Particularly because these recommendations only verify what prevalent sensation tells many of us anyways. Merchandise like entire body belts, entire body wraps, rings, creams or lotions can not make you lose significant bodyweight. Advertisements proclaiming that products from this group may make you lose around a pound each week are simply just set: just lies.

2. Cause bodyweight lack of two pounds or more each week for any thirty day period or more with no dieting or work out.

Though selected adverts wants to make us believe that in different ways, everybody understands that to be able to lose bodyweight you have to work out much more and/or transform your food plan consuming less energy. As outlined by the diet industry experts in the FTC any advertisement that promises normally is simply false. I personally agree wholeheartedly that it’s not legitimate if a product claims to help make you slim down with no altering your diet pills life style.

3. Cause significant bodyweight loss (which means the lack of not less than one pound/week or a whole bodyweight lack of much more than 15 pounds in any time period) no matter what or simply how much a shopper eats

It can be difficult for you to slim down it doesn’t matter how much or what you take in. As said ahead of, dropping pounds usually requires consuming less energy. Some products could claim to curb your urge for food, nonetheless that also indicates you’ll want to take in a lot less, whenever they operate which is. But, by consuming a lot less you would possibly deprive your whole body in the nutrients, nutritional vitamins and minerals it requires. Eating the right number of wholesome foodstuff will be the vital, not consuming a lot less in the inappropriate form of foodstuff.

4. Cause lasting bodyweight loss regardless if the buyer stops utilizing the product.

You must completely transform your life style to be able to lose bodyweight and keep it off. In the event you end utilizing the product and neither transform your consuming habits nor work out, you are going to get bodyweight again. Now the one question remaining is, if you need to use that unique product (particularly significant with fat burners) for your rest of your life only to keep that bodyweight off.

5. Block the absorption of excess fat or energy to allow consumers to lose significant bodyweight.

Even reliable and recommended excess fat blockers must be utilized in blend using a dietary transform to be able to accomplish significant bodyweight loss. Tablets alone will not make you slim.

Again: you can not reach significant bodyweight loss just by washing down your burger and fries with fat burners. The energy you take in can not be miraculously neutralized by any tablet. A much healthier food plan will even advantage your level of cholesterol along with your blood pressure level.
6. Safely allow consumers to lose much more than 3 pounds per week for much more than four weeks

In the event you lose much more than 3 pounds per week you chance obtaining gallstones and so are endangering your wellbeing in many other methods, too. When the product promises that no dieting is needed it truly is false for that explanation also - as was proven ahead of.

7. Cause significant bodyweight loss for all end users.

Each entire body differs, includes a unique metabolic process, requires and talents. It can be simply just not legitimate which the exact product will result in a big bodyweight loss for any person utilizing it.

Each variety of treatment or health care device targets a specific group of people. In the huge group of obese men and women you will discover numerous subcategories as folks are overweight for various explanations. Therefore, the exact same tablet, lotion or device can not promise to guide to a reduction in bodyweight of any consumer.

The following statements are from respective adverts for Sauna Belt, Melt Belt and Slimming Belt. Just browse them and check if any in the FTC indicators match the adverts for these products. Make up your own personal mind.

Sauna Belt: The Sauna Pro Deluxe advance warmth devices sweats absent undesirable excess fat, get rid of cellulite, slim down and ease muscle ache, all even though within the ease and comfort of your own residence. Just use the Sauna Belt around the picked out entire body component and let the belt do the many operate.

Are Weight Loss Clinics Beneficial? 3 Basic Evaluation Points

Are Weight Loss Clinics Beneficial? 3 Basic Evaluation Points

Most of us who want to lose weight are reluctant to join a weight loss clinic. Many fears are in the mind. Whether these weights loss clinics are beneficial or they just will trap me? Do they just work for money?

These are the question wandering in our mind when we are thinking about going to any weight loss clinic. Let’s uncover some of facts about weight loss clinics.

Community support


Check whether the particular weight loss clinic you are willing to join is viewing nice community support. If it is then it is worth joining. The studies have shown that dieters supported by any support system lose weight better and in a far less time compared to those who do not have any such support system.

It should be kept in mind that you are going to pay money for the weight loss program it is better to check it thoroughly that the support you are going to have in this weight loss clinic is worth paying. If you feel satisfied only then proceed further, otherwise there would be many other weight loss clinics nearby.

Tailor-made calorie planning


Another reason to be considered while making the choice is whether the particular weight loss clinic can make menu specifically designed according to your needs and demand. It should tell you exactly what to eat and when. This is especially beneficial for those who do not have very firm grip on the eating concepts for weight loss.

Prepared fat loss meals


One of the biggest controversies about these weight loss clinics is they provide ready to eat food for you. No doubt this is beneficial and you don’t have to bother to collect the necessary low calorie ingredients and cook the food. But what you’ll do after you have reached the desired weight? A choice is that you’ll continue to buy the food from them. This can even make you bankrupt.

The next controversy is the meal provided by them is not satisfying. No doubt it tastes good. But sometimes the portion size is so small that it can be filler only for a small child. You end up eating here and there.

Therefore the best to look for such a weight loss clinic which gives you the whole recipe of preparing fat-free low calorie meal. In that case you can make the desired quantity and can maintain the proper weight in future as well.

Nutrition is concern primarily of the right kinds of foods and how these foods affect the health of human body. Every individual is required to eat foods to grow and maintain their health. Without foods we will surely die. Eating the right foods can help us avoid certain sickness and is also a good instrument for faster recovery of sicknesses. With the proper nutrients in the body, one can be safe from getting unwanted diseases. Our body also demands good nutrients for it to function appropriately. Nutrients are classified as carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water. How important are these nutrients to our body and what are the proper tips for nutrition weight loss?

    Vitamins in foods are always better than getting it from supplements. Vitamins are the most effective diet supplements. They are needed by the body for proper metabolic reactions.
    Fiber- eating fruits, vegetables, and cereals that high in fiber each day to boost your fiber intake. If you happen to feel uncomfortable of its accompanying side effects, you can increase fiber by drinking plenty of water.
    Omega-3 fatty acids - eating foods high in omega-3 fatty acids is good for nutrition weight loss as long as you eat it with the right portions. Omega-3 fatty acids can also help you feel better and look younger.
    Folic acid - this is one essential nutrient weight loss than can also be found in breakfast cereals. Choose healthy, fortified breakfast cereals. This nutrient is commonly linked with lesser risk of heart disease and colon cancer.

All About Calories

All About Calories

For years now, calories have been a huge craze. All foods, except water, has some. Every time you eat, you take in calories. Your weight management efforts will succeed on the basis of how much calories you take in versus those you burn off. Many people count calories as listed on the back of product boxes to try and lose weight. But a lot of people don't understand the concept which is why a lot of myths prevail. If you are truly interested in losing weight, it is worth your time to actually learn how calories work.

What are calories?

A calorie is essentially a measurement or unit of energy. The unit was first defined by Professor Nicolas Clément in 1824. Human beings need energy to survive. A calorie measures the energy in food and beverages we take in. This energy is used by the body to fuel physical activity as well as all metabolic processes, from maintaining your heartbeat to building muscle. Each food constituents supplies some amount of calories. Protein and Carbohydrates have 4 calories per gram. Fat, on the other hand, has 9 calories per gram. Vitamins, minerals, natural chemicals found in plants, fiber and water do not supply calories.

What do calories do?


We need energy in order to survive. Every bodily process like breathing, pumping blood even metabolism requires energy. Humans acquire this energy from food. Our body burns the calories present in our food through metabolic processes to release energy which is either used up or stored as fat.

How much do we need?


In the case of calorie intake, it's always different strokes for different folks. The factors that affect your daily calorie needs include your age, height and weight, your basic level of daily activity, and your body composition. The recommended average daily calorie intake is of 1940 calories per day for women and 2550 for men.  Larger people with more muscle need more calories. To calculate your recommended calorie intake, use the body analysis tool.

What is the relation of calories and weight loss?


The relationship is quite simple. Excess calories are stored in the body as fat which increases your weight. There are 2 ways to lose those excess calories:

  •     Eat fewer calories
  •     Burn more calories

For best results, it is recommended to do a combination of both.

When it comes to eating fewer calories you can rely on 'calorie counting'. First, find out how many calories you're currently consuming. You can figure that out by keeping a food journal. Track each food item that you eat for at least a week and figure out the calorie count for each food item (use the nutrional value tool). To find your average daily calorie intake, divide the total calorie intake by the number of days you tracked your intake. Once you know your average daily calorie intake, you can make changes in your diet to reduce your daily calorie intake to lose weight. Some of the changes you can make include reducing the portion size, replacing high calorie food with low-calorie food, etc. Along with this, do phyical activities such as jogging, walking, and cycling to help burn calories. The more physical exercise you get the more calories you will burn.

There are about 7700 calories in one kilogram (about 3500 calories in one pound). That means if you can spare 550 calories per day (by eating fewer calories and/or burning more calories), you will lose about half a kilo per week. This is because 550 calories below each day, multiplied by 7 days in a week, equals 3750 total calories under for the week. And, 3850 calories under equals about half a kilo of weight lost. The same goes for weight gain. If you are 550 above each day, you'll gain a about half a kilo per week.

What is the safe calorie level I can drop to when I am trying to lose weight?


It is not recommended to make large changes in your calorie intake as it can have a significant effect on your health. You should not consume less than 1200 calories a day under any circumstances, even if your daily calorie needs are very low. A very low calorie diet increases your risk for heart problems and gallstones, and should be followed only under a doctor's supervision. Going for a low caloric intake may yield quick results, but it may lead to muscle loss and a slowing of your metabolism. Also, a low calorie diet may not be able to provide your body with all the important vitamins and minerals.

A moderate calorie cut which includes cutting 150-300 calories from your daily diet and burning 150-300 calories in exercise is recommended for an active lifestyle. Reducing calories by 15% below your daily calorie maintenance needs is a useful start. It is generally recommended that weight should be gained or lost at a rate of about 0.5 to 0.8 kg (about 1 or 2 pounds) per week.
What are Empty and Hidden calories?

Empty calories are derived from those foods that offer little or no nutritional value. Foods like junk food, sodas, sugary drinks etc. add empty calories to your diet. On the other hand, hidden calories sneak into your food and add calories to it. Stuff like butter on paratha, sugar in tea etc. lead to an increase in the caloric value of the food.

Are all calories derived from different foods the same?


Lots of people wonder if it matters where their calories come from. But, to be honest, a protein calorie is no different from a fat calorie. The good old saying is always true, 'A calorie is a calorie is a calorie'. However, carbohydrate and proteins are considered good sources because more complex procedure is required to convert them to be stored as fat. Fat, on the other hand, requires a much simpler process and hence can be easily stored leading to weight gain. Also, a gram of fat provides 9 calories where as a gram od protein or carbohydrate provide 4 calories.

Calories are a good tell tale sign to count in to tell you whether you are overweight or not. Compute how many calories you should eat daily in order to lose weight and reach your goal. Understanding the basics of how calories work can go a long way to reach your weight loss goals.

No Time To exercise Lose Weight, Try This!

 no time to exercise lose weightIf you have no time to exercise or you’re just too tired to workout after a long day at work (or just can’t get up early enough to hit the gym) then I’ve got something for you to try.

This doesn’t only work if you have no time to exercise, it will also help you to make working out a habit if you have trouble staying consistent with your workout program.

You know what I mean, you hit the gym three or four times per week for a month and then take two months off. That won’t get you anywhere!




Start by focusing on making exercise a habit so that it becomes part of your life routine.

And the easiest way to do this is not just to work out first thing in the morning but to make the workout unbelievably simple!

How do you make it so simple that you never skip a workout? Easy! As soon as you roll out of bed, start exercising! This can be as simple as one exercise!

Here are some examples.

Roll out of bed and do X number of bodyweight squats (such as 50 or 100 depending on your fitness level!)

If you can’t do 50 straight take rests when you need it and keep track of the time it takes to complete all 50 and try and beat that time the next time you do it.

Or, reverse it and do bodyweight squats for 7 (or 15) minutes, resting when you need to and keeping track of how many reps you complete. Next time, try and do more in that 7 minutes.

Side Note: The rep numbers will be different for different exercises, as it’s a lot easier to do 50 jumping jacks than it is to do 50 burpees or jump lunges.

You could do a different exercise each day for a week and then repeat.

Maybe a workout plan like this:


Monday — Bodyweight Squats
Tuesday — Push Ups
Wednesday — Burpees
Thursday — Jumping Jacks
Friday — Jump Lunges
Saturday — Jump Rope
Sunday — Rest

If you have a pull up bar or an apparatus like the Lifeline USA Jungle Gym XT, you can get a lot more versatile as well as hitting the important back muscles more directly.

Once you’ve got that down, you can take the next step and just add one more exercise. If you have a kettlebell or two dumbbells you can keep them by the bed and incorporate those as well.

You can also start to use hiit training workouts with these exercises, utilizing the Tabata protocol of 20 seconds of exercise followed by 10 seconds of rest for 4 minutes (so 8 total sets).

One workout might look like this:


Burpees – 20 seconds on 10 seconds of rest for 8 sets

If you have the dumbbells or kettlebells you could do:

Squat (KB or DB in rack position) plus Push Press – 20 seconds on 10 seconds of rest for 8 sets

With two exercises it might be:


Push Ups – 20 seconds on 10 seconds of rest for 8 sets
Bodyweight Squat – 20 seconds on 10 seconds of rest for 8 sets

If that’s too easy you could make the exercises harder by doing narrow push ups, explosive push ups, staggered push ups, clap push ups, spiderman push ups, etc.

For bodyweight squats, you could do narrow stance squats, super slow squats, jump lunges, jump squats, 180 degree jump squats, etc.

The key is to MAKE THE DECISION to do a short workout like this right when you get out of bed.

Once you’ve done that for a few weeks and exercise becomes the normal thing you do in the morning, you can start doing multi-exercise routines.

You’ll no longer say “I have no time to exercise” or “I’m too tired to workout.”

Female Fat Loss: Fat Burning Tips and Tricks

Female Fat Loss: Fat Burning Tips and Tricks

Fat Loss Facts For Women Of Any Age

All the hype these days is about ways to boost your metabolism and burn fat. It’s hard to know what fiction is and what fact is in this area. Here’s a break down of some of what you may be hearing:

Strength Training


Yes, it’s true. You CAN burn more calories SLEEPING if you have more muscle mass. Strength training is your way to build more muscle and is truly the fountain of youth. Keep in mind too, that studies show that you will gain a better metabolic boost by doing harder exercises. For example, it’s better to be doing 8-10 reps with a heavier weight than 20-25 reps with a lighter one.

 This could also mean doing more difficult body weight exercises like push-ups and pullups. It’s not always necessary to have a huge weight room to do strength training. There are many advanced body weight exercises that can aid in strength and muscle development that you can do at home.


Breakfast


Your metabolism won’t go into” starvation mode” without breakfast, but it is associated with successful weight loss. Make it a habit to consume some protein first thing in the morning. Also, insulin resistance is lowest at this
time; so consuming some complex carbohydrates is a good idea at breakfast time too. This will keep your appetite in check till your next break or even lunch.

Fat Burners


There are plenty of products out there that claim to ‘burn fat’. As desirable as this may seem, it’s likely to be too good to be true. You’d be better off saving your money. Most of these products contain caffeine. They may give you a mental boost, but that doesn’t mean they will significantly boost metabolism or burn fat.

Eating 6 small meals per day


This claim is simple and true. Eating actually does help boost metabolism, which can help you burn more fat. One of the worst things you can do when trying to get leaner is to stop eating. The body needs energy, and providing small meals on a regular basis helps.

Protein


The real claim to fame with adding protein to your diet is the blood sugar stabilizing effect that it produces. You can reduce the insulin spikes that occur with eating carbohydrates alone, and reduce the roller coaster effect
that the insulin produces as well. Often the addition of protein will result in an overall caloric reduction because your appetite is controlled better.

Long Slow Cardio


Many believe that in order to burn fat, you should stay in the ‘fat burning zone’. That is, modify the intensity so that you can carry on a conversation while performing the exercise. This type of exercise, whether it be on a
treadmill, bike, walking or jogging needs to be maintained for over 30 minutes to get into ‘fat burning’. The real result of this can be overtraining injuries and boredom! If this type of cardio appeals to you, great, do it, but
don’t expect to yield huge results in terms of metabolism boosting or fat loss.

Interval training


Interval training causes a greater increase in post-exercise metabolism than regular, long slow cardio. A recent study found that a shorter interval program led to more weight loss than a twice-as-long aerobic training program.

Bottom line: Intervals work!


It seems that common sense wins out again. Sound eating, hard exercise and not relying on magic potions to aid in your fat loss are your best bet to your best health. Add strength training, interval training, mini-meals, and protein to your weight loss plan and you’ll be leaner thanks to your faster metabolism.

How To Do The Kettlebell Swing

How To Do The Kettlebell Swing

The Kettlebell swing is called by some the best fat loss exercise there is. I love doing the swing myself and as far as it being “the best” exercise for fat burning? I don’t know that there is one best exercise you can do but I will absolutely put the kettlebell swing in my top 4 of fat burning exercises. The Swing is the foundation of all kettlebell exercises.

Here is a little side note about kettlebell exercises: ” Kettlebell workouts burn 20.2 calories per minute, that’s double spinning (9.8 calories per minute) and that’s double traditional boot camp workouts (9.9 calories per minute). So if you are on the fence about kettlebells you may want to rethink signing up for that spinning class again”.


Benefits Of The Kettlebell Swing


1) Swings develop the important posterior chain muscles of the body such as the hamstrings, glutes, core and back

2) Swings work the abs and strengthen the core muscles

3) Swings are great for cardio conditioning and fat loss. More and more studies are concluding that greater  fat burning happens when your workouts are done at higher intensity levels rather than long slow endurance type training.

4) Kettlebell swings train the back from the lower back all the way to traps. They train all the muscles together giving you a great functional workout.

That list is not all inclusive but you get the idea. Learn the Kettlebell swing! And it just so happens we have one of the leading kettlebell experts to show us how. The Kettlebell Queen aka Lauren Brooks has a video to show you how to do the swing properly


So there we have one of the best fat burning exercises you can do. Seriously get yourself a kettlebell learn the proper technique for using them (and I think you can see it’s not at all complicated) and in a couple of weeks of use you will be thanking me. Too much Muscle? Yea I Don't Think So For those of you who still think (and there are plenty of you out there) that using kettlebells or weight training you will build overly large muscles take a look at our 2 experts Shawna and Lauren, do you really need anymore proof about that old wives tale? Just my opinion but they look pretty good to me. Except for all those Hulking Muscles of course.

Carbohydrates To Maximize Fat Burning

Carbohydrates To Maximize Fat Burning

The truth is, not all carbohydrate foods are created equally. Your body reacts differently from carb to carb. 

Carbohydrates Not All Carbs Are Created Equally


The glycemic index or GI describes this difference by ranking carbohydrates according to their effect
on our blood glucose levels.

Here is the the glycemic index range:

Low GI = 55 or less
Medium GI = 56 – 69
High GI = 70 or more

You may have heard of insulin.  However, there is another important hormone called Glucagon that you may not have heard of.

When you eat high sugary foods (High GI), your blood sugar rises.  Insulin is released in your blood stream to store glucose to glycogen but at the same time surpresses the production of Glucagon.

Glucagon is a hormone responsible for releasing fat from fat cells into the bloodstream to be used as energy. That is what you want.  You cannot maximize fat burning without releasing glucagon.

So the real key is to keep your blood sugar low to constantly produce glucagon. Let’s put it together:

Low GI foods = High production of Glucagon = Fat Burning

The next natural question is what foods are low in GI?

Here is just a small list of low GI foods (below 55) that should be staples of your diet: 

Fruits:
-Plums
-Grapefruit
-Cherries
-Peaches
-Apples
-Prunes
-Dried apricots

Vegetables
-Frozen grean peas
-Raw carrots
-Egg plant
-Brocolli
-Cauliflower
-Cabbage
-Mushrooms
-Tomatoes
-Green beans

Others
-Brown rice
-Yams
-Sweet potato
-Quinoa
-Lentils (Red/Green)
-Navy beans
-Butter beans

Snacks
-Hummus
-Peanuts
-Walnuts
-Cashew nuts
-Corn chips
-Nutella

That is just a small list of foods that are low in Glycemic Index.

Remember, control your blood sugar and your body will burn fat all day long.  Don’t be surprised when you also have more  energy too, when you start eliminating foods that are high in Glycemic index.
