Workouts Seen to Curb Appetite Hormones Aid in Weight Loss
 
 
 
 Aerobic exercise is better than non-aerobic activities at suppressing appetite, according to a U.K. study.

The research involved 11 male university students who participated in three types of sessions. In one, they ran for 60 minutes on a treadmill and then rested for seven hours. In another, they did 90 minutes of weight lifting and then rested for 6.5 hours. In the third session, they did no exercise.

The participants received two meals during each session and also reported their hunger levels at various points during each session. The researchers measured the students’ levels of two major appetite hormones: ghrelin (which stimulates appetite) and peptide YY (which suppresses appetite).

During the treadmill session (aerobic exercise), ghrelin levels dropped and peptide YY levels increased, indicating that the hormones were suppressing appetite. During the weightlifting (non-aerobic) session, ghrelin levels decreased, but there was no significant change in peptide YY levels. The appetite hormone effects of both types of exercise lasted for a few hours.

Both types of exercise suppressed hunger, but aerobic exercise resulted in greater suppression of hunger. The findings were published online in the American Journal of Physiology — Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology.

"The finding that hunger is suppressed during and immediately after vigorous treadmill running is consistent with previous studies indicating that strenuous aerobic exercise transiently suppresses appetite," senior author David J. Stensel, of Loughborough University, said in an American Physiological Society news release. "The findings suggest a similar, although slightly attenuated response, for weight-lifting exercise."

He said this line of research may lead to more effective ways to use exercise to help control weight.

The Truth About Weight Loss. It Does Require Discipline

December 31st, 2008 |

  lose twenty pounds fast

The Truth About Weight Loss is It Does Require Discipline.

As we end the old and begin a new year I want touch briefly on the bad news of weight loss. That is that weight loss requires discipline. Accept this and you will come quickly to the place that you have to be to begin serious and sustained fat loss until you are at goal weight. That’s true because losing fat isn’t rocket science it is a matter of following a few simple steps. The genius is in the simplicity. The buggaboo is in the consistency or lack of it.

  • plan to succeed on the eating front. That is, in advance know what you want to have that will be consistent with the goal of healthy eating. From start to finish here give yourself the advantage of being prepared shop with a list consistent with your eating goals, in the morning taking just a moment to see yourself eating the good healthy choices in the right amounts. Prepare in advance to win the momentary challenge of the moment by making good choices easy when the choice has to be made. In advance have veggies at the ready, make the cereal in your cupboard a smart diet choice  forget fruit loops have some unsweetened choices and add some fruit on your. You get the picture.
  • Dr. Sanford Siegal's COOKIE DIET™

  • exercise. Do it with an intensity that is as much as you can do and still be coming back for more. Trying to do too much will only get keep you on the couch instead of on the road in your sneakers. How long you do it is also reliant on what will keep you coming back to it. I like as a minimum a good twenty minutes thirty is better at an intensity level that is at least a little challenging. Do this most days of the week. However if what will keep you moving that body through space is a program of moderate walking, swimming, biking whatever makes your boat float than do it that way. As they say just do it. If you don’t like the huff and puff stuff than try to get in 30 minutes of what you do like at the pace that will keep you coming back most days of the week.
  • ritualize your evenings to the extent that they will not include a good day’s eating getting sabotaged by a mindless refrigerator raid. Instead plan to have a piece of fruit at some time in the early evening make a big deal of it. Eat it slowly really taste and enjoy it. No guilt really love it and it’s healthy calories. Don’t be afraid to include a small reward of something you love. About a fifty calorie piece of dark chocolate is my choice I always know  it’s mine to have and that gets me through some difficult moments.
  • come see the workout system that delivers..fast!

  • in the morning start again with just a minute of visualization where you see yourself making the better choices all day in the matters of eating and exercise. See yourself enjoying the thinner you that results from the consistency of the good choices. You will have a hard time not losing the unwanted pounds when you do this.
  • now fat loss is second nature to you because you’ve accepted the truth that discipline is part of the program. Success will breed success as fitness and the thinner you of your wildest dreams become a reality.
  • it’s simple and it gets easier with practice to weigh what you want to.

What’s the Best Exercise for Weight Loss? Any !

December 26th, 2008 |

  fast weight loss helped along by exercise with low carbohydrate diet, atkins diet,south beach diet atkins low carb,south beach diet,exercise for fast weight loss balls for weight loss stationery bkie as exercise for weight loss

What’s My Choice for Weight Loss Exercise?

The answer is exercise , any exercise. The key is choose one or several that will actually do. The benefit of mone over an other is minimal compared to choosing one(s) you will do. 

This is too big a question to answer in a 500 word blog because the answer really is a little broad you see my answer is movement. That is moving your body thru space. This must be done at a sustained pace or effort for  at least 10 minutes but 20 really is ideal. Too many people think they have to practically kill themselves with exercise to get benefit. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Just a twenty minute walk as if you are late for an appointment will get you on the road to fitness. Remember too that exercise alone will not get the job of weight loss accomplished. You must consume less calories to lose weight and do it in combination with just moderate exercise to win the battle. Forget the marathon I personally know dozens of marathoners who could stand to lose weight.

Just How Many Calories Will I Actually Burn?

The energy you you use is dependent on several factors,how much you weigh, the pace you choose, and the condition you are in. This is one time where being out of shape will actually be to your advantage as the better you are conditioned for exercise the more efficient you become. Here is a chart showing the rates for the calories you will burn taking into account your weight and pace .


Calories Burned in Twenty Minutes of The Most Basic of Movements Walking, Jogging and Running.

I give this information because it is in the end the choice for me and the easiest for you you get into.

There are lots of sources online that will give you the caloric values related to other forms of exercise/activity.


Exercise & Pace 135 Pounds 165 Pounds 195 Pounds
Walking, 3 mph (20:00/pace) 63 78 95
Walking, 3.5 mph (17:09/pace) 79 97 125
Walking, 4 mph (15:00/pace) 96 118 150
Walking, 4.5 mph (13:20/pace) 107 132 166
Jogging, 5 mph (12:00/pace) 114 140 167

This Doctor Knows His Omega 3’s

December 25th, 2008 |

Dr. Sanford Siegal's COOKIE DIET™

 I received this email from Dr Al Sears as many of you know I am a Big proponent of the benefits of foods that make available to us omega 3. The doctor brings the value of this super nutrient home for the holidays. I had to share his wisdom with you.

 

 

 

Al Sears, MD    December 25, 2008

 

 

Dear Liz ,

Do you get blue on Christmas?

You should be happy…right?

But sometimes we feel stressed, anxious, lonely, or depressed. 

If you go to your doctor he’ll give you drugs. These drugs are not only expensive, but they have dangerous side effects. And the long-term impacts on your health are anybody’s guess - insomnia, sexual problems, weight gain, fatigue, and suicidal thoughts.

There are a lot of reasons you get sad during the holidays; fatigue from too much activity… financial woes… family tension. But if you believe the National Mental Health Association, they report holiday depression usually follows unrealistic expectations.1 You can hold on to memories of ideal holidays from years ago, or have expectations that everything will be perfect.

They wouldn’t know this though… You may be blue today from a lack of a critical nutrient. This is a time of year when you probably will attend lots of parties, overindulge, and eat all the wrong foods. As a result, you get even less of your valuable omega-3 fatty acids.

So what does fat have to do with depression or brain function? Heck of a lot, in fact.

Your body needs fat to make brain and nerve cells. What’s more, fat can actually put a smile on your face. It helps the membranes of your brain cells absorb the natural chemicals that put you in a good mood, and keep you there. The fat that your brain craves most is omega-3.

In one study, participants took a pure omega-3 supplement. The result? Their brains started growing. In fact, the parts of their brains that grew were directly responsible for happiness.2 In other studies, researchers found that people suffering from major depression had very low levels of omega-3 in the areas of the brain that help with mood.3

You can easily start boosting your omega-3’s intake today. For the full antidepressant benefit take between 1,000 mgs (1 g) and 4,000 mgs (4 g) per day.

Here’s a list of foods rich in omega-3’s.

Food

Serving Size

Omega-3 Amount

Mackerel (canned in oil)

4 oz drained

2.2 g

Bluefin Tuna (fresh)

4 oz cooked

2 g

Wild-caught Salmon

4 oz cooked

1.9 g

Sardines (canned in oil)

4 oz drained

1.8 g

Flax Seed Oil

1 tbsp

6.9 g

Cod Liver Oil

1 tbsp

2.8 g

Olive Oil

1 tbsp

0.1 g

Flax Seeds

1 oz

1.8 g

Walnuts

1 oz

2.6 g

Egg (organic, cage free)

1 large

270 mg

Grass Fed Beef

3.5 oz

100 mg

Cod liver oil supplements are a good way to go. They come in both oil and pill form, and you can find them in most vitamin shops and health food stores.

In addition to getting enough omega-3’s in your diet, consider trying some of these helpful tips to make your holiday brighter.

  • Maintain your relationships with your family and friends, and start new traditions with them. This will help you to feel less lonely around the holidays.

  • If you are feeling overwhelmed, learn to ask your family and friends for help. Many of them will be more than happy to lend a helping hand.

  • Get out and exercise. Go ice-skating, go for a walk, build a snowman with your kids. Do your 10-minute PACE routine. Exercise will energize you and put you in a good mood.

  • Avoid or reduce your consumption of alcohol. It can deepen your feelings of depression.

  • Get in the holiday spirit by doing holiday things. Decorate a tree (big or small), build a gingerbread house, or go to mass at your local church.

  • Volunteer. Helping someone who’s struggling more than you will help you feel better about yourself and help you remember the true meaning of Christmas.

  • Lastly, just breathe. Take a few minutes out of every day to breathe. Take deep breaths, inhaling through your mouth. Be aware of the moment. Focus only on your breathing, in and out, and let all the other stuff just melt away.

I wish you only the best health and happiness for this Christmas and for the coming New Year.

 

To Your Good Health,

Not a Lot of Obesity Here.

December 25th, 2008 |

weight maintainence and good diet for heart health

 

Not  a Lot of Obesity Here.

Boy you can say that again. I’m in the middle of a community that defies the odds and the statistics of the epidemic of obesity  in this country. Amazingly the majority of the people here are active and healthy. They seem very happy as a bunch. Oh by the way I am in a retirement community visiting with relatives for the holidays.

Yes that’s right the people here on the whole  are quite fit even though there average age is probably in the low seventies. This is not because there is something magic in the water here. It’s not because of some genetic gift it is more likely a  dedication to making the choices that kept them fit.

Dr. Sanford Siegal's COOKIE DIET™

You see the reason that this community is more trim and fit on average than say a population of 40 and 50 year olds is because the overweight who were their contemporaries just didn’t make it. That’s right they’re dead. They are dead and gone and missing Holiday get togethers they didn’t have to miss. 

I was prompted to ring the alarm bell because I was struck by the fitness level throughout this community and I was missing some loved ones who might be here if they had gotten the message. Stay trim and fit and you get to grow old and enjoy loved ones for a lot longer.

The other thing that prompted me sound the alarm was the recent release by the people at the National Health Institute of this sobbering statistic  for every extra 7 pounds you weigh over your ideal weight you are 11% more likely to have a heart attack. Yes that means that if you are 21 pounds overweight you are 1/3 more likely to have a heart attack than if you weighed what you should.

Heart attacks are still the number one killer of Americans. They are still the casue of a lot of missed chances to celebrate the holidays with loved ones. I don’t want to miss those times and I wish some of my departed loved one’s weren’t missing them now.

I didn’t mean to upset you I just wanted to take advantage of this happy time of year to remind you that whether you do or you don’t have as many of these celebrations ahead of you as you would like to have is largely up to you. 

Give yourself a renewed dedication to a long and healthy life for  the Holidays.

 Give yourself a renewed dedication to your health and fitness for Christmas and a chance to grow old.

Better Digestion Means Better Weight Management

December 23rd, 2008 |

Here are a dozen tips for you:

  illustarion of digestive system for education in weight control proper diet and colon cleanse

These are for you to use in your weight loss program this New Year. There are so many things that help. This list is really geared more to your proper digestion which is very important to good weight management. When your body gets the nutrients it needs it is a much better ally in your effort to find A Thinner You.

    Dr. Sanford Siegal's COOKIE DIET™
  • slow and thorough chewing starts the process. Digestion starts in the mouth with saliva so take your time here you also give time to your system to know you are eating and getting enough food.
  • I know it’s hard when you are rushing around in the morning to do this but try. squeeze some juice of a lemon(concentrate is fine) into a glass of tepid  water first thing make sure you do this at least 20 minutes before your breakfast. hard I know and if you can’t do this one it’s ok maybe do it when you can.
  • start your day with a hearty breakfast. You can challenge your digestive system a little then since it has had it’s longest stretch without work this sets you up for a great day. make sure that you have the largest share be protein a little fat and if you want sweet have fruit stay away from the frosted flakes
  • be sure to take a few seconds to breathe and relax before you begin your meal eating when you are preoccupied and stressed is disruptive to good digestion
  • eat a wide variety of foods man does cannot live on broccoli alone  even superfoods like salmon, broccoli,blueberries need to be alternated we are blessed with great multitudes of veggies try some ones you haven’t had before. If ever there was a meal that should be  low carb eating event this is it.
  • get help from live enzymes found in raw and lightly cooked foods nuts are great in moderation and vegetable crudites too !
  • I have  powdered greens once or twice a week to make sure I am getting avery broad range of nutrients
  • play the color game I did this with my kids when they were young we tried to recap the different colors of the foods we had eaten that day when I could hear the recital of colors I knew they were getting what they needed
  • listen to your body give it what it wants in the healthy version. Crave sweets go fruit in a meat mood chicken is great turkey too red meat now and again is ok think fish when you feel a burger rush it will satisfy that craving
  • drink lots of water as part of your regular weight management but not in large quantities just before or after your meals thsi is a time for your stomach’s digestive juces to do their job. They need to be in high enough concentration to break down your food for your nutrient absorption to be optimal.
  • spend a little effort to make every time you eat a pleasing multi sensual event to the other senses too. Your digestive process starts before your food even enters your mouth sound as in the sizzle of bacon or sight of food gets it going remember Pavlov’s dog a bell got him going.
  • lastly some have recently dismissed the idea of no eating three hours before bed and others say it still is good advice. I am in the middle on this one I think that a piece of fruit or even a small piece of dark chocolate are fine up to about one hour before shut eye.

Cookies Are One Weight Loss Expert’s Answer, Dr Siegal’s Weight Loss Cookie Diet

December 22nd, 2008 |

Dr. Sanford Siegal's COOKIE DIET™ Recently I have had the chance to talk with some weight loss winners. Their success stories included  a secret weapon in the battle against the bulge. Their secret weapon? Cookies ! The Dr. Siegal’s weight loss diet has been around for a while but is now getting some attention in the press. Curious? You can click on the box to go directly to Dr Seigal’s very informative site.

The diet is basically an appetite reduction program leading to what some might say is dramatic caloric intake reduction. This as we all need to know is in the end a necessary ingredient in any lasting weight loss program. Usually I recommend a slower approach with somewhat less of a caloric reduction than the fast weight loss that some get from the appetite reduction benefit of the doctor’s cookie diet. What the Dr Siegal’s weight loss cookie diet does is use a specially formulated recipe with his proprietary blend of amino acids. You can click on the banner for Dr Siegal’s pitch for his cookies. For most weight loss coaches the weight loss if the cookie diet recommendations are adhered to is just too fast and you will have some difficulty maintaining your weight loss if you don’t make the necessary lifestyle changes that must accompany every weight loss success story. As I have cautioned in reviewing other weight loss aids like colon cleansing or acai these are aids,tools not the answer. Dr Sanford Siegal is on to something with his weight loss cookies.

 

Dr. Sanford Siegal's COOKIE DIET™

 

 

Cookie Diet Plan - A Natural Way to Lose Weight With

America is the wealthiest country in the world, and technologically probably the most advanced nation too, right? Not really, if you take into account the fact that the same country has an enormous amount of obese adults, something that is unique to this country. Blame it on the bad lifestyle habits followed by people there, and it will not take you even a second to add two and two and make four.

Obesity is kind of an embarrassing situation, especially because a person’s image is associated with his looks! In this article, I will tell you about a brand new diet formula, which has helped thousands of people, lose weight.

This cookie diet plan was the brainchild of Dr Sanford Siegal of Miami. With this plan, you will be required to eat cookies daily to lose weight. Amazing isn’t it? But you must bear in mind as well that, these cookies are not ordinary sugary cookies that we find at the local groceries.

The cookies used in Dr. Siegal’s diet plan are unique; instead of loading your body with loads of empty calories, these cookies (which are specially created by the doctor himself) provide your body with all the necessary nutrition while helping you curb hunger at the same time. Do not think that these cookies are bitter pills because they are very tasty to say the least.

This cookies diet plan was invented by Dr Siegal for the reason that most people fail to lose weight because they cannot control their hunger pangs. Although There are numerous appetite suppressant in the market today, many have side effects. As for the appetite suppressant which are good, most people are cautious or just ignorance about them. But with Cookies diet plan, it represent an attractive alternative as to what is available in the market.

Just in case you are wondering, following the cookie diet is very simple. All you need to do is eat six cookies every day, follow up on that with a light dinner consisting of vegetables and chicken. That is all there to it. I am sure you will agree that this diet is far simpler and more practical to follow than other fad diet plans. In addition, you do not need to be afraid of any side effects from these cookies. They do not contain any kind of caffeine; if anything, they contain amino acids, which is something you can find in many natural foods. In other words, the Cookie diet plan aims at helping people lose weight by means of food instead of drugs. If you have not tried it, I highly recommend you do! High in fiber these work well with the occasional colon cleanse.

Don’t Let Age Be an Excuse For Gaining Unhealthy Weight

December 20th, 2008 |

Aging Is Not an Acceptable Excuse for Gaining Unhealthy Pounds

There’s no doubt about the fact that the body changes as we age and fat cells is stored in places that we didn’t have to worry about when we were younger.

The body’s regulator our metabolism slows down and the food processing system doesn’t work as well as it should.

Hormone changes in the body can also impact the shape that you are in but there is one thing that always remains the same at all times in our lives - If you consume too much food and drink or have too much alcohol you will surely add hard to lose pounds.

Many people use their age as an excuse for being too heavy but this fact is not acceptable. Consider if you will how many older folks there are who are still slim, fit and healthy and you will see that aging is not an acceptable excuse.

Lifestyles create the body we have to live with and the effects of poor choices are multiplied as we get older because the less than optimal treatment that we have been giving our body through poor food choices throughout our life accumulates with swollen fat cells and other health related problems due to poor nutrition.

You can and should expect to keep your fat percentage at an optimum level for your entirelife. The health benefits from doing so will pay dividends with a better quality of life and far less depending on medication and other health life span, no matter how old you are you can get great benefit from superior well conceived nutrition and regular, moderate exercise.

Anything that will reduce the too high levels in your body fat will assist in helping you to live longer and to enjoy it more.

Getting started on an exercise program and taking care to improve your nutrition is the best way to turn back the body clock and it is never too late to start winding back the years. Obviously the sooner you start the better but getting started is the essential ingredient that you need right now.

oldr couple exercise for weight loss,health and fitness elderly practice good diet planning woman plays tennis for weight loss elderly woman clisthenics for weight loss yoga for weight loss

Finally, a personal note from a weight loss coach who has seen a lot of before and afters. Of course they always look better but the thing you should know is they feel so much better. The outlook when you take off that unhealthy fat is completely adjusted upward and onward. Get to it let go the pain of fat.

One Step at a Time for Weight Loss

December 20th, 2008 |

Small Steps You Take One Step at a Time Gets the Job of Weight Loss Done !

weight traing for weight loss and fitnessStart small you will get there lifting weight as part of a diet and fitness plan

The ironic problem with cutting back your intake of food too much is the fact that it slows down your metabolism and in doing so it makes it all the more of a challenge to sustain weight loss.

This is one of the important reasons why it is suggested that you don’t cut back your caloric intake by an excessive amount on a day to day basis if you want to keep losing the weight over the long-term.

On the other hand when you have too many calories over and above the energy demands of your body then these calories will be stored as fat.

You understand by the last two sentences that it is critically important for you to get your calorie intake levels right if you are to lose weight.

Your daily calorie requirement depends on a number of varied factors including your weight, your age, gender and your way of life as a more active person will need more caloric intake due to the fact that they will be burning more in the course of the day.

Typically every pound of your body weight represents approximately 3500 calories. Therefore, based, to lose 1 pound you will need to reduce your calorie intake by 3500 calories.

On diet alone, you can see how it will be very difficult to lose a pound a day unless of course you already have a considerable calorie intake and the reduction will still leave you with enough food and proper nutrition to remain in good health.

Supplements will definitely help to make up for any nutritional deficiencies a good part of the time.

By cutting back on your caloric intake by only one hundred calories per day over a period of twelve months you would have consumed 36,500 less calories and that converts to a weight reduction of almost 11 pounds.

That is an easy to have accomplished weight reduction with very small adjustment to your life and habits.

When one breaks down the seemingly daunting effort of taking off that extra weight into the small parts it seems much less a challenge and it is simply a matter of small steps one following the other. this of course should serve to encourage you to get started !

Why Do We Eat What We Eat ?

Question, What Makes Us Eat As We Do ?

You are probably way ahead of me on this one. It starts long before we are making decisions for ourselves.

kids and weight loss children need diet guidance bad diets are given with good intentions proper diet and nutrition aids in healthy weight later in life

There are lots of variables that determine which foods we choose to have and these decisions begin right from childhood.

to start with the different things we eat as a kid are determined by the family environment and also by the other children we mix with at school.

Kids will adopt terrible eating habits from their parents and they will naturally begin to choose the same types of foods as their parents simply because that is what they are used to eating. If that food has little nutritional value then the never ending need to feed the hunger will ensue and gradually over time the percentage of body fat will increase.

Consider all the foods and drinks that you have now and whether you naturally enjoyed eating or drinking them the first time you experienced them.

How many young people don’t like the taste of alcoholic drinks when they first try them only to consume vast quantities later in life? They have become accustomed to the taste and over time anyone can change their eating and drinking habits according to their environment and choices.

Just take a look at all the varieties of foods that are eaten throughout the world by different nationalities of people. If you were to live in another place it is very likely that your consumption habits would be very different to what they are now.

The good news is you can reverse bad eating habits by eating foods that are better for your health and in doing so you will become more accustomed to eating those foods and prefer them to the foods that have caused the weight problems in the first place.

The hunger won’t be there and the need to have large amounts of food will be gone because you will be getting sufficient nutrition while eating a reasonable amount of food.

You feel more satisfied more of the time and that is something that most heavy people are constantly working to achieve but never managing even by eating gigantic amounts of food.

Your Food and Beverage Consumption Is of the Utmost Importance

December 19th, 2008 |

Your Food and Beverage Consumption Is of the Utmost Importance

There is no doubt that special diets have their place in the world of weight loss dieting. However ther is something that tends to get forgotten when we use these approaches.

The number calories that you eat on a each day will determine whether you add pounds or lose weight and this is one of the most important aspects of any weight loss program that you decide to go on.

Interrogatories have been taken where overweight people believed they were eating no more food than other people they associated with who were considerably slimmer than them.


The overnourished people were under the false impression that the reason why they were heavier and gaining weight was due to their body’s metabolism.

When keeping track of their food consumption over a specified period of time it was shown that they were actually consuming more calories and it had nothing to do with their metabolism but rather their choice of food and the quantities they were eating.

You only need to reduce your calorie intake by 100 calories per day to make a substantial effect on your weight over the period of the year.

This is a very easy goal for almost everyone and it is not too hard to reduce by that quantity, however many of the weight loss programs are recommending much more reduction in calories making it very difficult to maintain and as a result of this many people are failing to achieve what they start out to do. At A Thinner You we want you to understand the slow and steady pace is really the way to go for lasting success.

Now when you combine the fact that you solely need to reduce calories by that much, with additional help of vitamins and minerals that can help your overall health, you can see how you can stay nutritionally balanced throughout the whole weight loss process and not feel as though you are starving yourself.

For many people just knowing that the hurdle is not so great, and that there are suitable supplements to assist them, is enough to ensure that they can start and maintain a good weight loss program.

Holiday Challenges.

December 17th, 2008 |


Holidays Don’t Have to Make You Heavier

The holiday are always extra challenging for those struggling with their weight, but there are ways to participate  without packing on the pounds.

 

  • going to a holiday party ?, eat a light snack. Arrive hungry you will eat too much, so don’t.. Also, offer to bring your favorite healthier choice dish to ensure that you have good food options.
  • Don’t hover near the food.This increases temptation.
  • Eat once, not all night. Grazing at the food table quickly piles up the calories, so instead, make a balanced plate of food just once during a party
  • Use good portion control. Fill your dinner plate with vegetables, Lower your fat intake skip the skin  chicken. Also, refrigerate  then skim off the fat once it cools.
  • Avoid high-calorie holiday drinks. Enjoy just a club soda, 1/2 an eggnog and balance it off with lots of water to help curb your appetite.Remember what got you here.
  • Eat once, not all night. Grazing at the food table quickly piles up the calories, so instead, make a balanced but small about half what you want. Let some time pass circulate then still hungry go get your second half plate of food.
  • When hosting a holiday party, give away your leftovers. Keep plenty of disposable dishes ready to give away sweets and other unhealthy food choices to guests.
  • Focus on the talk and activities with your family and friends, not on food. , take a family walk after the main holiday meal.

The One, Two Punch Supplementation to Shed Pounds

December 17th, 2008 |

The “two punch” supplementation that some are using to shed pounds.

    

A popular idea out there lately is to combine two supplements gaining popularity as a one- two weight loss punch. Since you can test it without spending any money. I have included here free trial links for the products. Some say they have delivered good fast results. These are both good products but you must remember weight loss needs more than just these. Don’t be tempted to think these and these alone will do the trick. They won’t. The traditional approaches of lo-cal and or lo-carb with a moderate increase in activity, mindful eating and food awareness are what has been the true answer for my clients. I am really just making quick mention of these as a combination aid to those other habits you must develop to achieve healthy lasting weight loss and because many are asking if this is esay way out they pray for.

The two products people are using together, are Acai Berry Weight Loss Formula and Bowtrol Colon Cleanse. These links take you to free trial offers.

I am a big fan of both regular bowel cleanses especially in our toxic environments. Additionally as I have written on this blog and my weight loss coaching site my research on Acai berry has me convinced that as Dr. Perricone and others say it is a superfood. However,  I say this with a caution. Please don’t stop at supplements. They often as this case are good aids but  too many will be tempted to think these and these alone are all they need. Don’t be one of them. When the supplement that comes out that does the whole job of weight loss for you in the proper fashion I will be the first to scream it from the mountain. These are good they are just not the whole answer. That said here are the links to the free trails. Good tools not the whole answer !

BOWTROL COLON CLEANSE

Bowtrol is an all natural herbal colon cleansing treatment that has changed thousands of people’s lives through our effective internal cleansing. Bowtrol was also designed for people suffering from constipation and maximizes colon health. Bowtrol maximizes one’s elimination without causing loose stool or uncomfortable cramping via frequent healthy bowel movements while assisting in cleansing the vital organs and lymphatic system.

ACAI BERRY WEIGHT LOSS FORMULA

According to Dr. Perricone - "Acai the #1 Superfood "
Harvested by Brazilians for hundreds of years as a food staple and for their rejuvenating and detoxifying properties, Acai berries (fruit of Amazonian Acai Palms) have been all over the media, from articles in fitness magazines to features on popular television programs like 0prah and the Today show, and thousands of people all over the world say that Acai berry products help them live a healthier life that is full of energy and vitality. But we’ve taken Acai Berry one step further. Acai may also assist in eliminating harmful waste, toxins and buildup. By combining Acai extract with a combination of nutrients that help with weight-loss, increasing energy levels, skin antioxidant that helps promote healthier looking skin.

and then there’s this way.

A Few Principles That Will Aid Your Effort to Lose Weight

December 16th, 2008 |

A Few Principles That Will Aid Your Effort to Lose Weight Fast

Don’t be too anxious to fall for the advertising that you see on late-night TV and in many of the magazines that we tend to thumb through on a regular basis. Most of these weight loss programs are going to look good on the outside but on the inside, they are not really going to do you much good as far as your wt loss is concerned.  If you want to know the truth about weight loss, you need to forget all that you have learned up till this point and hear to what I am about to tell you.  I’m not trying to sell you a weight-loss product, I’m simply trying to give you the truth about what is necessary for you to lose weight permanently.

The first thing that you need to do is to exercise on a regular basis.  Many of us have a difficult time fitting it in to our schedule and to be honest, many of us hate to exercise.  It doesn’t have to be something that is done grudgingly, however.  Try walking for just 10 minutes every day or take a stroll with your better half in the evenings.  The fresh air and exercise will do both of you good and a little bit of time away from the television set will actually give you an opportunity to communicate.  As you begin to feel better, you will naturally want to increase the amount of exercise that you are doing.

The second thing that you need to do is to change the way that you look at food.  Instead of living to eat, as many of us do you need to begin to eat to live.  This means that you need to change the way that you eat over time so that you are shifting more towards a healthy lifestyle than towards an overweight lifestyle.  Instead of dramatically cutting things out of your diet to accomplish this, add things into your diet such as raw fruits and vegetables.  Make sure that you eat a green, leafy salad everyday and within just a couple days, your body will actually begin to crave it.  Eventually, these things that you are adding into your diet are going to crowd out the bad things that you have been eating all along.

Finally,the principle that you need to understand about weight loss is education.  You need to learn the truth about weight loss, cleansing and getting your body into the best shape that it can possibly be.  The more you learn about  things, the more you’re going to want to incorporate them into your life.  Be sure that you make these changes gradually, however, and allow them to become part of your regular regime.  If you do this effectively, you will see the weight begin to fall off of you and you will discover that you are the person that you always wanted to be.

Be Well Be Happy

Little Tricks to Keep Yourself On the Weight Loss Track

Little Tricks to Keep Yourself On the Weight Loss Track

No matter what your chosen path to weight loss one thing you will need is the right attitude. You must be mindful that there are things influencing you on levels of which you are largely unaware. So remember to deal with that part of you. Remember that no matter how good at it you are you probably are going to be living with this new approach to  eating and living for a long while before you get to goal weight and hopefully after that to maintain your new healthy body. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but even those of us who succeed at getting to goal are more than likely to gain back a good part or all of what we have so diligently shed. The way to lasting success is to change the way you see the world too.

So the challenge then is to keep yourself motivated to make this a lifestyle change not a diet. To that end engage in some different ways of thinking about it all..

—try setting short term goals at night for the following day. We are all familiar with the one day at a time concept. At night write down a few small things that will advance your objective even if just a little. Look at the list in the morning and promise again to do them and then do. The important part here is that at the end of the day you can look at a list you made that contributed to the big goal but you managed with ease because you saw it as a one day assignment.

—add to your circle of friends people who have seen the light. That is they have adopted the healthy lifestyle you want to make part of your life. If all you have is people in your life who do what you are trying to get away from that just isn’t going to work.

—many of my clients report that the new healthy lifestyle often saves money they would have spent on the old lifestyle. Use some of this to treat yourself to something you like that is new and compatible. A new CD for your portable player and an extra walk to listen to it is a good treat.

—spend time seeking out other people’s success to use as a role model for your own. If they can do it you can do it.There are lot’s of TV shows where you see daily examples of great successes. Try find a live person who just keeps right on winning the battle with their old self. Ask for guidance people like to have the success they enjoy noticed and are happy to offer help.

—tell others that you really need the cooperation from them. You don’t intend to be derailed they must understand that this is life and death for you and you need to give it priority in your life.

—I used to turn to food at every emotional upset or challenge, didn’t even taste the food. You really want to replace that response. Before any eating always simply ask yourself why you are going to do it. If the answer is anything other than you have real physical need for nourishment than have a list of alternatives at the ready. For me I do two minutes of conscious slow deep breathing. It works like a charm.For you it could be to brush the dog or take him for a walk. The important thing is to find a replacement activity ready.

—If you have a bad spell don’t give up, forgive yourself and start again. Perfectionism is killer in the game of life. Forget it and move on.

—each time you are particularly challenged simply go back to pen and paper and note note the consequences of the bad choice versus the way you will feel when you stick with your plan.

—having a hard time with getting some of your fitness promises off the ground on a given day. Happens to all of us. What I do is I just start and I tell myself if I don’t want to keep at it I won’t. Guess what? I almost always just keep going until I do what I had promised I would do.

—be social in your fitness join clubs or casual groups who center on body movement or healthy eating. One of my clients started a lunch group. One person prepares lunch and tries to impress for taste and appeal and enjoyment. They walk after the lunch and they get to try new healthy food preparations a couple of times a week.

—be your own best admirer. Don’t forget to congratulate yourself for the promises to yourself you made and kept. Keep success in your cross hairs this way. I did it today I can do it tomorrow .

—keep a record of you eating day best way to stay mindful. If you are low calorie then read labels get to know protions and the calories. If you are low carb the try the same write it down as you do it or use  a recording and info  aid like CarbTrack.

Be Well, Be Happy

What Are the Benefits of Taking Acai ?  A question being asked often lately. Some have questions regarding side effects of acai (pronounced ah-sigh-ee. Are there even any acai berry side effects?  Are there acai berry dangers?  Is acai berry safe? Dr Perricone is an advocate of this plant product supplement to our diets as one of his named "10 Superfoods". Oprah Winfrey is a fan of Acai as a weight loss supplement.

It has long provided it’s benefits to indigenous people of the region. since the acai berry is not good as a fruit consumed as one would other berries my choice for the highest quality, most economical , most convenient way to take advantage of all the good the acai berry offers is in acai berry capsules or acai berry softgels. There is a full range of acai berry products including juice products but for me the juice is too expensive and does not concentrate the acai goodness. They, the expensive juices are much less convenient way to get my acai benefit.

Dr. Perricone is joined by researchers at the University of Florida who find it a superior supplement to our nutrtional lives and Dr. Talcot has promising news in acai’s anti-cancer properties. Anthocyanins and flavonoids are powerful antioxidants that help defend the body and found in abundance in acai. Here are some of the reasons why I love this nutritional wonder and as I said I will return with more blogging on each of these benefits in more detail. In addition to being a weight loss advantaged supplement acai also acai berry free trial offers.
