The Cro-magnum’s Weight Loss Diet

by Robert

Roughly 10,000 years ago the last Ice Age finished. Within a couple thousands years of the ice sheet retreating, farming started up again and new foods evolved to be the mainstay they are in today’s weight loss diet. This new weight loss diet, called Neolithic, had an immediate effect on individual health. Skeletons of Neolithic farmers show poor nourishment compared to the previous generations of Neanderthals. They expired younger, were of less stature, had more holes in their smaller amount of teeth and showed the first indication of fatness in need of weight loss.

The problem with the new weight loss diet of the Neolithic period was that we didn’t advance to gobble those new foods. The diminutive persons' digestive territory is exclusive among primates. We have no more than one stomach and a comparatively short large intestine. We are more well-matched to digesting and extracting nutrients from animal protein, fruit, nuts, and some vegetables.

Early civilizations also were more active. By running and lifting heavy objects every day you will build muscle and lose weight. Today we call this exercising vs just surviving in those days.

How To Stay Motivated With Your Weight Loss Diet

by Tisha Diaz

You would probably just smile if I asked you how many times you’ve started dieting and how many times you’ve stopped. Let’s look at some ways that could help you stick with your diet.

To stick with a diet you must always keep an eye on yourself. Dieting is no different than any other goals. You will not accomplish those goals if you do not keep track of the things you do and your progress against your goals.

The best way to do this is to keep a journal where you log the things that you eat and keep track of the calories that you take in. In your journal you could also make notes of your emotional state on each day of your diet. This will help you determine if certain foods have an impact on your emotional state. For example, looking back through your journal you could discover a link between those days where you felt down in the dumps and the things that you ate that day.

A diet is only effective if you are consistent with the diet. Your aim should be to follow your diet every single day until it has become part of your natural daily habits.

A very effective way to make a diet stick is to have something visual that reminds you of your ultimate weight loss goals.

This could be as simple as putting that bikini, which currently is two sizes too small for you, in a place where you can see it every day. Next to it, you could put a calendar with your vacation time clearly marked on it.

You could also put a little note inside a plastic bag and put this inside the ice cream tub in the freezer. This note would read, “Do you really need this?”

It is also a good idea to put little victory stickers on your refrigerator. Congratulate yourself with every small victory that you accomplish.

Now, nobody is perfect. You are bound to make mistakes in your dieting and weight loss effort. Don’t be too hard on yourself.

The most important thing when you make a mistake is to understand why you made the mistake and what you need to do to prevent yourself from making the same mistake in the future.

People say patience is a virtue, but with dieting and weight loss patience is more than a virtue, it is an absolutely essential part of the diet.

Exercise patience, keep track of your progress, celebrate your victories, and constantly remind yourself of your goals and you will have success with your weight loss diet.


Simple Natural Weight Loss Diet Tips

by Gary Kidd

A healthy weight is achievable, when the state of mind is calm and comfortable, when the body works optimally and, when the hassles are low in life. They have to be combined with some natural weight loss diet or healthy low calorie diet.

The scientific logic behind weight gain is, when the body is unbalanced, the digestive flaws start to appear, your metabolism changes and adipose tissue (fat cells) builds up, because of which you become obese or overweight.

Below mentioned are some natural weight loss tips, which you may consider to loose those extra pounds from your body:

All Natural Weight Loss Tips:

The primary thing for obese people is, to avoid any kind of vogue diets and quick-acting solutions that guarantee unbelievable weight loss. You need to focus more for remaining fit rather than being thin. This is because, aiming for becoming thin is to have limited eating, excessive workouts and anxiousness, and, this is an unhealthy weight loss practice.

For a natural weight loss, you need to eat five small meals on a daily basis. A bowl equal to the size of your palm needs to be the size of your meal. This is a natural way to loose weight and is very effective, as eating throughout the day helps avoiding starvation and excessive eating at your next meal. Try to have your last meal of the day after 7 p.m.

Next, avoid soda, sugar, and candies from your regular diet. Have fresh cinnamon sticks or peppermint leaves rather than candies. You may substitute sugar by consuming moderate quantities of honey.

Consume more compound carbohydrates, healthy low calorie diet food, and plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. Avoid excessive intake of dairy products, as they are high in saturated fats, which stimulate obesity, when consumed in bigger quantities.

You may opt for other lower fat dairy products such as non-fat milk, yoghurt, butter, and cheese. You need to avoid fried foods, processed foods, and fatty foods from your diet as much as possible.

Consume ample amount of water, you may have a minimum of 60 ounces of water daily. Next, it is particularly advantageous to consume plain hot water, as if you drink tea without sugar or tea powder. Also, try to have a tea prepared from boiling a lemon with its peel.

Healthy Low Calorie Diet:

Another great method to loose weight is to have a healthy low calorie diet. If you tend to use more calories than you ingest, you will loose weight slowly. Your healthy low calorie diet needs to be between 1, 000 to 1, 8000 calories.

Your breakfast has to be low-calorie protein and rich in fiber. Have a couple of scrambled eggs, one bowl of sugarless cereal with skimmed milk. Here, the calorie count is between 200 to 350 calories.

Your midday meal has to be rich in vitamin, such as a cheese sandwich of whole bread or a green salad with chopped chicken. Next, have a balanced low-calorie dinner as such, poultry, fish and brown rice.

Finally, one magnificent natural weight loss tip is to go on for a walk of 30-minutes almost daily.

Following Weight Loss Diets and Health Concerns

by Robert Baird

In case of attaining weight loss with fruitful results, it is advisable to indulge in a healthy diet. One of the most effective means of losing weight is by means of dieting. However it is to be borne in mind before indulging in a diet program that one must take suitable advice from an expert or a medical practitioner as all diet types may not suit the body type of an individual. Moreover, it is also necessary to remember that some of these diets may have harmful effects and thus proper research is advised.

The term 'weight loss diet’ is often considered synonymous with the 'Fad Diet’. These fad diets are extremely low in calories and they certify the consumption of certain selected liquid foods which have almost zero nutritional content. Some of the prominent fad diet foods include grapefruit diet and cabbage soup diets. It is to be noted here that researchers have dubbed this fad diet as extremely unhealthy and injurious to health as in the illusion of causing weight loss they actually reduce water content in the body which gives the dieter a false idea that he is losing weight. Once this diet is abandoned, the proportion of water loss is gained soon and thus the weight loss is transformed into weight gain. Therefore this weight loss diet is extremely ineffective.

However, there are a series of weight loss diets which are quite effective. These diets are balanced with suitable ingredient which lower weight but do not compromise with the energy level ad are also not harmful for the body. Such diets are rich in fruits and vegetables which act as preventives against diseases like heart attacks and cancer. Moreover, these low fat diets contain high proportions of carbohydrates along with moderate amounts of protein. Unlike the high protein and high carbohydrate content diets which are considered unhealthy, the low fat diets are recommended highly and are also used prevalently by athletes and sportspersons for improved performance levels. Moreover, the presence of complex carbohydrates in these diets are also extremely beneficial as they are very healthy and at the same time do not cause fattening. Therefore a perfect weight loss diet should comprise of a constant eating pattern, all forms of food groups and it is advisable for overweight individuals to ignore the various quick weight loss diet methods like fad diets, diet foods and hunger suppressants which cause more harm to the body than actually aiding in weight loss.

5 Weight Loss Diet Plans for Diabetics

by Anne Dixon

just learned you have diabetes and your doctor recommends you lose weight? Finding an easy diabetic weight loss diet may seem difficult.

Trying to find a good weight loss program is hard enough. It may also seem an impossible task to find a good diabetic weight loss diet. This is where we may help out, by explaining 5 different diabetic weight loss diet options.

5 Diabetic Weight Loss Options:

Diabetic Food Exchange Diet: This diabetic diet plan is one of the main eating plans that doctors prescribe to people with diabetes. It may be confusing at first, yet once you understand its concept, you will find that it has two positive outcomes. It will help you lose weight and maintain your blood sugar.

The diabetic food exchange diet groups similar foods together. Each group lists certain foods that may be eaten and the exact portion that may be eaten. Measuring the food portions exactly is very important on this diabetic weight loss diet. It is also important to eat on a very regular schedule.

Diabetic Food Pyramid: This diabetic food plan is easier to understand and implement than the diabetic food exchange diet. With this plan the foods are separated into different groups. The food group that allows the most servings is the base of the food pyramid. The next set of groups of foods follow up the pyramid, with the top of the pyramid representing the food group allowed the list.

You can lose weight on this diet and be satisfied, if you stay within the servings allowed each group and choose healthy, low calorie foods.

Atkins Diabetic Diet: This is a well known diet found in the Atkins diet books series. The book, Atkins Diabetes Revolution, offers diabetic meal plans allowing three different levels of carbohydrate consumption. This diet plan begins with the person having only 20 grams of carbohydrates a day. Gradually, 40 grams of carbs are allowed, and finally, 60 grams of carbs are allowed per day. This diabetic weight loss diet may be a bit extreme for many people because it almost eliminates breads, rice and potatoes. Many people have been able to manage their diabetes and lose weight with this diet.

Nutrisystem Diabetic Diet Plan: The diabetic weight loss diet plan offered by Nutrisystem may be considered one of the most convenient diabetic weight loss options. The diabetic meals are specifically made for people with diabetes Type II. They are low calorie pre-packaged and pre-portioned, and require no refrigeration. Fresh vegetables, fruits and dairy products will need to be added to fully balance the diet. If you are “on the go” and have a hard time with meal planning, this diabetic weight loss plan should be considered.

Medifast Diabetic Diet Plan: This diabetic diet weight loss plan claims to help you lose 20 pounds in 30 days. Medifast has a simple, yet powerful diet plan called “5 in 1.” This means, you choose 5 items to eat a day from Medifast’s prepackaged meals, and make your own one “lean and green” meal a day. The “lean and green” meal should consist of a lean meat and green vegetable. Many people with diabetes and weight issues have been help greatly with Medifast’s diabetic diet plan.

Any one of the above diabetic diet weight loss plans can help you manage your diabetes and weight loss goals.

Get Rid of Your Weight Loss Problem Once and for All With the Detox and Weight Loss Diet

by Sherlyn Ling

Which detox and weight loss diet that stands the test of time? Probably the master cleanser diet comes to your mind.

After all, it is backed by more then 50 years of success stories.  Beyonce Knowles shed off 20 pounds of weight, and Robin Quiver raving about it after losing 70 pounds herself.

But before you jump right into the lemon cleanse diet (by Stanley Burroughs), there is something you should know. Stanley Burroughs master cleanse was designed as a safe detox diet, and not for weight loss.

Granted you may have lose weight using the original formula, but how much weight did you loss? 3 pounds?  Maybe 5 or 7? And for the 10 days ordeal, it ain’t worth it, isn’t it?

Don’t get disheartened. The lemon cleanse diet can be used as a detox and weight loss diet once you take care of a couple of things. I will show you where you can get the revised master cleanser recipe towards the end of this article. It’s the true detox and weight loss diet.

The longer you are in the lemon cleanse diet, the more weight you will loss. That may sound logical except you are in for a rude shock when you gain back more than whatever you have lost previous, once you are back on normal diet.

The problem does not lie with the diet but with the dieter.  The master cleanse is a safe detox diet, which you can use to help you shed weight, provided you do not stay in the master cleanse regime for more than necessary. But some people have the mindset that the longer they stay in the master cleanse diet, the more weight they will loss. That's when a working formula can potentially become a health threat.

 

The main reason is because, once you are in the master cleanse diet for too long, your metabolism start to slow down to adjust to your new diet pattern, so a normal diet is actually an overload on your digestive system.  No wonder you gain back all that you have loss and more.

Are you prepared to begin the detox and weight loss diet?  “Yes!” You replied with full enthusiasm.

Most people think they can jump straight into the master cleanse diet and survive the 10 days program, yet I’m almost certain most never get pass the first 3 days.  They can’t stand the hunger pangs and worst, the irresistible delicious smell food from the kitchen calls out to them repeatedly.  Finally it becomes too much to ensure and they give up.

It’s clear that they are not prepared. They should not wake up one morning and simply decided to start the lemons cleanse diet just like that.  That’s the start to a journey of doom.

If they have made an effort to prepare themselves mentally, the outcome will have been different.  And that means getting into the mindset to begin the safe detox diet.

Start 3 days before the master cleanser diet. Visualize the outcome of losing 20 pounds in 10 days and feel the wondrous feeling of completion.   It certainly helps to push you ahead in your quest for weight loss.

The original master cleanser diet by Stanley Burroughs has been around for more than 50 years as a safe detox diet, yet it was by no means designed to be a weight loss diet.  Special attention should be given to certain ingredients to make weight loss a success.

There are also strategies you can follow and use to help you through the 10 days you are on the lemon cleanse diet, include food you can consume while on this detox and weight loss diet. It may sound counter intuitive now. How can you eat while on the master cleanser diet? I assured you, you can with the master cleanser diet. And I do mean the revised recipe, which is designed as a detox and weight loss diet.

How Weight Loss Diets May Damage Your Skin

by Chris Chew

We all know that sun exposure and smoking can cause skin damage. However, do you know that getting on a weight loss diet can also damage your skin?

Many people went on crash starvation diets, managed to lose weight drastically, but before they can rejoice on their weight loss success, they ended up worrying about their sagging skin. So if you are on a drastic diet to lose weight, don’t be surprised to find new wrinkles on your face and other skin damages.

This condition is especially prevalent amongst “yoyo” dieters. Yoyo dieters are those who gain and lose large amounts of weight with episodes of repeated dieting.

When someone loses weight, that person loses subcutaneous fat (fat beneath the skin) as part of the weight loss process and in extreme cases, even the supporting structure of the skin. As such, the originally stretched skin of the obese person becomes lax and saggy.

Furthermore, since the dieter drastically reduces caloric consumption, the body reacts by going into the “starvation mode” to conserve energy and sends its metabolism plummeting dramatically and these forces the body to shed muscles as well.

That explains why people on weight loss diet, even when they are successful do not usually get the attractive body they thought they would get because they have lost a fair amount of muscle tone and developed saggy skin condition.

Therefore in order to avoid skin damage, go on a healthy diet with a good exercise program to protect your skin and develop a well toned but slender and trim attractive body.

Another option is to lose weight gradually. In a healthy weight loss program, you should lose about 1 to 2 pounds per week and anything more is an indication that you may be losing muscle as well.

To save your skin when you are losing weight, you should avoid sun exposure as well as refrain smoking as these two activities are known to cause your skin to age prematurely.

So maintaining a healthy lifestyle and by avoiding the sun, you will slow down the aging process of your skin by delaying the onset of wrinkles, pigmentation and other skin damages.

It is also a good idea to moisturise your skin regularly with moisturising creams especially those with retinoid (vitamin A) and those that do not contain fragrances, alcohol and other skin irritants.

Your diet should also be rich in antioxidants such as vitamins A, C, E and B complex and minerals such as zinc and selenium. Antioxidants help to mop up skin damaging free radicals. This will help you to keep your skin supple and radiant because of the preservation of collagen and elastin which free radicals love to gobble up. Collagen and elastin are the fibers that support your skin structure.

Also you must hydrate your body to keep your skin moist and supple. So the age old advice of drinking eight glasses or more water is also useful in this regard.

So, if you want to lose weight and get an attractive and elegant body, then you should avoid crash starvation diets and save your skin.

Choosing Weight Loss Diet Pills - Beware Of Side Effects

by Gen Wright

lose weight? Perhaps you are tempted to try one of the weight loss pills that you have seen on TV. Problem is, you can’t really decide if it’s the right pill. In the current marketplace, there are so many different types of weight loss pills that it’s hard for an individual to zoom in and choose just one type of pill that has been proven to work.

On television, everyone makes similar claims:

- It’s the fastest fat burner ever.

- Lose weight without have to exercise.

- The most effective weight loss pill ever discovered.

If everyone makes similar claims, who do you believe?

The only one you can truly trust, is you yourself. Therefore, the right thing to do is to equip yourself with adequate knowledge so that you can assess the products and come to a right decision. Here are some tips on how having knowledge can help you.

Weight loss diet pills generally fall into 2 broad categories. They are usually made from some artificial (man-made) ingredients, or they are made from natural ingredients (such as herbs or plants). Regardless of the type of ingredients used, they all hope to achieve the same thing.

The pills are meant to suppress appetite so that there is less intake of food. That means less consumption of fats, and the individual will eventually lose weight. Some pills do not suppress appetite. They help to actively burn up the fat instead.

So which type of pills will you choose?

Surely, suppressing appetite cannot be healthy. You will lose weight temporarily. But once you stop taking the pills, your appetite comes back, and you soon find yourself gaining back all the weight that you have lost.

Therefore, taking pills that help burn fat seems like the only way to go. The only thing you have to be careful about here is that the pills are not created from some kind of drugs that will result in undesirable side effects. For instance, you may get diarrhea after taking those pills.

So how can you be sure that there will be no side effects?

Of course, you can always test out the pills by taking just one or two. But there is a better way. The best way to avoid side effects, is to make sure that the pills are manufactured from purely natural ingredients. In other words, the pills contain ingredients that come from plants and herbs. For instance, you can take weight loss pills like Proactol, which contains a natural fibre. This fibre helps to bind fat. That means if you supplement your diet with Proactol, you are effectively burning off a large portion of the fats that you have consumed. Soon, you will start to lose weight.

The pill shouldn’t affect your appetite at all. In fact, you should be eating normally, and you can still lose weight. So choose wisely, and avoid buying weight loss pills that you know little about.

Weight Loss Diets – 3 Things to Look for to Help You Succeed

by Alan Chai

Are you looking to lose that excess weight or just been thinking about this subject? This is not something that you should undertake lightly or without some serious planning first. If you are going to get involved in any of the popular weight loss diets currently out there, you need to look for 3 key things that will help you take off that excess weight and learn how to keep it off  permanently; A Good Support System, Sensible Eating Plan and Easy To Follow Exercise Plans. You want you be very sure that any program is not a fad diet that will create a problem

A Good Support System

What this refers to is that you always have someone or a group of people to talk to in the process of your weight loss when involved with any of the weight loss diets out there. There is nothing worse that reaching a plateau in your weight loss and having absolutely no one that you can call for support or guidance. Mind you, there are some diets out there that really leave you all by yourself to do this. This is not the best way to go about this.

Sensible, Healthy Eating Plan

This is also of the utmost importance! If you are not eating a healthy, properly balanced diet currently; this may take you completely by surprise. Most of the weight loss diets available today have taken many different factors into consideration when they design or suggest a sensible and healthy eating pattern. The main things to remember are: to eat several small (instead of 3 large) meals, making sure that you add good healthy snacks throughout the day and… this may sound strange… satisfy those food cravings.  You usually crave certain foods because there is something in that food that your body needs.

Good Exercise Plans

This is a third component of some of the best weight loss diets that will help you to not only take off the extra weight, but also keep it off once you have reached your target weight. Some of the best exercise plans are customized to each person's fitness level and personal needs. This is the best possible way to make sure that you will not be trying to get into an exercise program that is totally out of your league; be it too difficult or too easy. This is a sure-fire way that you will give up very easily!

Watch Out For Fad Diets

This is the one area that you really have to be extremely careful about when it comes to weight loss diets; the programs and diet systems that sound too good to be true. They usually are too good to be true; and actually turn out to be Very Dangerous in the long run to you. The main things to look out for are outrageous claims about the amount of weight lost in a week and no need to watch how you eat or no exercise necessary.

Weight Loss Diets - 3 Things That Boost Your Results

by Alan Chai

some simple additions to the weight loss diets that are popular and described in every major magazine or health and beauty sites on the internet will make the diets doubly effective and will make it easier to stick with the helpful measures long enough to see great results. Almost every successful dieter has made use of one or more of these tips in order to reach their goals. Often, making use of such strategies as walking around the block following the evening meal rather than flopping down in front of the television set will result in an easier weight control regimen. Water One of the best ways to boost the success rate of weight loss diets is simply to drink more water. Drinking plenty of water under normal circumstances is a great way to maintain the health of your circulatory system and by extension, your entire body. However, when you are working to eliminate the toxins and dead cells from your body during a period when you are losing weight, extra water will make that process easier on your body. The kidneys won’t have to work so hard and the liver and blood system will also function better, just by adding additional water to your intake each day. Fiber Adding additional fiber to an existing weight loss diets plan is a sure way to sneak out extra pounds lost. The body requires using extra calories in order to digest the foods you intake. When you add even a small amount of additional fiber, you are adding digestive time without adding significant amounts of calories. In addition, the fiber helps to encourage proper elimination for better intestinal and colon health. Sprinkle a little bran on your salad for a nutty taste or add it to your low fiber cereal in the morning to boost its staying power. Exercise The most effective weight loss diets include other components besides just food choices. Each time you add another dimension to the weight control plan, you increase your chances of successfully reaching your weight goal. Exercise is just such a helpful component. Anyone who has ever looked at a list of calories expended when doing various activities can see the benefits of exercise over a sedentary life style. Choose daily walks or add a stair climbing component to your trip to the office rather than using the elevator. These choices will help to manage weight over the long term. When you are participating in any of the weight loss diets, it only makes sense to include the extra features that make the weight control easier and more sustainable. The above factors and others will be part of your long term plan to be healthy in body and mind. Choose a healthy and slim lifestyle doesn’t have to be a burden. In fact, it should be selected both on an emotional and a physical level in order to be fully successful. The expectation of success is a fourth factor that is fully as important as the other three in successfully managing your weight levels.

Healthy Weight Loss Diets That Get Results Fast

by Aaron Patterson

Are you finding the current array of gimmicky diets on the market bewildering? You know, like the umpteen diets that are named after random foods (cabbage soup, peanut butter, you name it… my hope is we get a chocolate chip cookie diet soon). Or the diets which state that you can only eat protein, or only eat carbohydrates… as if human beings haven’t been able to maintain a reasonable weight since the beginning of time by eating a balanced diet?

It can be hard to make heads or tails of the promises of all these programs. I’ll tell you one thing, though: most of them sure don’t sound healthy to me. That’s because they all focus on the elimination of foods from your diet, making the nutrients you consume less diverse. Healthy weight loss diets don’t do this; they should allow you to eat all kinds of different foods.

To people who are used to having to cut calories to diet, “eat whatever you want” might sound a little crazy. But there’s actually science behind it, and a whole dieting regimen has been built around this principle. It’s called calorie shifting, and it strikes at the one thing you really need to change in order to lose weight: your metabolism.

Weight Loss Diet - Working on Your Diet

by Gen Wright

Your weight loss diet helps your program to be successful. Your best bet is to have a foolproof diet plan. Otherwise, your weight loss program mail fail. You may need to put more attention into your diet planning. Here is an approach that you can adopt.

Having clear goals will help you get there faster. Give yourself more time if necessary but be specific. If it’s 3 months, then try your best to stick within the time frame. If you find your plan to be too ambitious, you can always scale back. Take some pounds off your plan.

Once you know what your goals are, you can easily work out how you are going to achieve those goals. It’s the numbers that matter now. Lose weight naturally by burning more calories. Keep working on your metabolism, and you will not gain back the weight. Don’t ever forget that.

Now is the time to get to know yourself better. Take note of all your favorite foods. Consult your fitness trainer, or find out from a weight loss book, how much calories each type of food contain. Sum up the calories - that’s the amount of calories you consume each day. Smaller meals tend to help the body to learn how to burn more fat naturally. For instance, it’s better to take 6 small meals each day than 3 huge meals.

Green leafy vegetables will help detox the body and improve general health.

The most difficult task to overcome will be your weight loss diet. Most people just don’t know how to plan for a weight loss diet properly. Should they pursue a low calorie diet? Having no answers to such questions, they adopt a second grade weight loss diet.

Be patient and plan meticulously - think about all the elements in your weight loss diet plan. Calories isn’t everything in your diet. That is just one part of the equation. Diet plans tend to look different for different people. Want to know why?

Every single one of us live differently, and we expend different amounts of energy each day. As an example, some people do not exercise on a regular basis. Some exercise moderately. There are those who consistently exercise almost everyday. For sure, the energy requirements will be different. Therefore, the diet will be different.

What you want is to lose weight while consuming enough nutrients. Without experience energy loss, a diet with about 2000 calories will work well for most people. Monitor your consumption and try not to take in less than that amount. If you take less than that, your body may break down gradually. It’s not a diet plan that’s going to work in the long run.

Always plan based on your own personal needs. Don’t drop your consumption rate too quickly. Lessen by 100 calories for a week, then move on to 200 calories and so on. However, it would still be better to work off those calories by exercising. In other words, you burn off more calories.

Made any interesting observation here?

Like it or not, you still need to take some calories to keep energy levels up. Therefore, the only logical approach to adopt is to increase your metabolic rate.

Weight Loss Diet For Men

by James Randall Twist

The Day Off Diet is the best weight loss diet for men. The following are the reasons why:

1. The Day Off Diet comes with a high quality muscle building program free of charge. This program is revolutionary in that it shows you how to build muscle much faster and much more efficiently than the usual out dated methods of strength training.

Not only will this program help you to look better and help you to gain strength that will make you feel more powerful and confident. It will also help you to lose fat faster because every pound of muscle burns 50 calories every day even while at rest.

2. The Day Off Diet allows for a “day off” every 7th day. Most people choose Saturday as their “day off.” This has the obvious benefit of allowing you to satisfy any cravings you have on a regular basis. It also lets you live your life to the fullest. You can go out and party or do whatever else you want every Saturday without worrying about your diet. You can literally eat and drink anything you want and not be slowing down your weight loss. In fact you’ll actually be speeding it up.

How does eating anything you want once a week speed up your weight loss? It does this by increasing your metabolism. The problem with other diets is that they put your metabolism in starvation mode because of constant low calorie intake. The weekly “calorie spike” of this diet is not only a lot of fun, it actually helps you lose weight faster. It’s a true revolution in dieting.

3. The Day Off Diet “green light” food guideline system is extremely easy to follow. When you are dieting 6 days a week (remember every 7th day there’s no dieting at all) you will follow the green light, yellow light, red light food guideline system which does not require any calorie counting or carb counting. It requires no food journals or any other method of keeping track of what you eat. This is very important psychologically as constantly thinking about your food will make it harder to stick with your diet. On this diet you don’t have to worry about what you’ve eaten or what you will eat. It’s all there for you already.

4. Low calorie diets don’t teach you how to eat, they only force you to go hungry by restricting the amount you can eat. This is not a long term lifestyle. When you go off your low calorie diet you will gain your weight right back. On the other hand, on The Day Off Diet you will learn which foods you should be eating more of, and which foods you should be eating less of. It’ll be less about eating less and more about eating the right things, more often. This will allow you to be healthy for the rest of your life.

5. The Day Off Diet is 100% guaranteed. There’s a 60 day full money back refund period so that you can try the diet with no risk. There’s no reason not to start it today.

6. The Day Off Diet is available online for instant download. There’s no reason to wait. You can start right now.

7. The program includes a free “mystery” bonus that will show you how you can not only lose weight with this program, you can actually make money online from it as well. Imagine losing weight and making money at the same time.

Top 3 Sure Weight Loss Diets to Help You Lose Weight Overnight

by Alan Chai

 

Weight loss diets can be confusing.  There are thousands of diets that have been developed and published.  Many of them work very well, others are hardly worth the effort to read them.  Some are even dangerous in the procedures which are recommended. However, if you stick with any of the following three diets, you will probably be very successful at losing weight. The diets have some major differences, but they have many similarities as well, so sometimes it is just a matter of picking the one that seems to fit your life style and personality type the best.

 

South Beach Diet

 

The South Beach Diet is one of the better known weight loss diets.  It was developed by Dr Arthur Agatston, a south Florida cardiologist.  The diet distinguishes between good and bad carbohydrates and fats.  Good carbohydrates are those with a low glycemic index.  These carbohydrates require a longer time to process, so that there is not the dramatic swings in the insulin producing capacity of the body that is found as a result of eating foods with a high glycemic index.  In addition, the doctor emphasizes that the use of bad fats should be minimized for effective weight loss.  The diet consists of three phases and is meant to be a lifelong healthy eating plan.

 

Atkins Diet

 

The Atkins diet is another of the early weight loss diets which encompassed a radical departure from previous ways of looking at diets.  Dr Robert Atkins utilized the concepts of the diet plan in his own personal experience and went on to author a series of books that popularized the concept of the low carbohydrate diet plan. The process of weight loss in this diet plan is deliberate switching of the body’s process to burn stored body fat rather than glucose through a process known as ketosis.  Later studies have discounted some of the original claims, but the diet remains very popular and continues to be used by many people as an assist to weight management.

 

Weight Watchers Diet

 

The Weight Watchers Diet is one of the first weight loss diets to use good long term eating choices combined with the support of a peer group in order to lose weight and to do it safely.  Good lifelong eating habits are the best way to have long term healthy bodies working at the optimum weight levels. Over the years, this eating plan has matured and many of the concepts can be found in the freezer section of your local supermarket.

 

Choosing one of the top weight loss diets is a great way to begin your efforts at the permanent life style choices that will lead to weight control and a healthy body and strong mind throughout your lifetime. There are similar qualities in each of these three that are proven to be successful, so the matter of which one you choose is probably just personal preference.  If you educate yourself prior to beginning any of the three and make the choice sensibly, you will be successful in taking the weight off and keeping it off.

The Most Effective Weight Loss Diet Program Finally Outlined

by Alvin Hopkinson

There are many different weight loss plans available to choose from. The interesting thing is many of them use a variety of different methods to achieve the desired results. Some tell you to watch what you eat, others tell you that you can eat whatever you want, there are the ones that require you to exercise vigorously for days and those that declare exercise is not necessary.

With so many contradicting theories, there is no wonder why so many people fail in weight loss. How can you find the most effective weight loss diet program? Research.

When you are dieting it is vital that you balance the foods appropriately. Snacks and meals both need to have a healthy mix of carbohydrates and protein. If you consume more carbs than protein it is likely that you will feel hungry again shortly after.

The higher amount of carbs causes the glucose levels within the body to skyrocket and then crash However if you have managed to balance the foods properly you will feel satisfied longer. The glucose levels stay at a steady level so you will not have the fatigued feeling after eating.

Did you know there are two types of carbohydrates? Well there are.

Natural carbs are just that, natural or from the ground. Some examples of unprocessed or natural carbohydrates are oatmeal, brown rice, beans, lentils and potatoes to name a few. 

Processed carbs are carbs that have been created by man adding elements to the food. For example, breads, bagels, pasta and almost every product that uses white sugar and or white flour. 

It seems that it could very well be in the best interest of a dieter to cycle their carbs. This might sound complicated but it really isn't. To cycle the carbs all you have to do is alternate the amount of carbs consumed from one day to the next.

For example, on day one of your diet you would consume a small amount of carbohydrates. Day two maybe an elevated amount of carbs and on day three a middle amount of carbs. It really doesn't matter exactly how you cycle the carbs as long as the amount is different day to day.

This method works because on the low carbohydrate days the metabolism is working just as hard to burn calories as it does on high carb days. So essentially on the low carb days you body is burning extra fat and calories. Boosting the metabolism this way is basically trickery! The best part, you can look forward to the high carb days.

It is important that you concern yourself with a little more than just the amount of calories you are consuming but also the nutritional content and quality of the calories. The most effective weight loss diet program comes from a dedicated, educated and motivated dieter.

Why you Should not Follow a Weight Loss Diet

by Lucinda Reynolds

How many times have you tried to lose weight? How many times have you been successful? Losing weight is no easy task. In fact, it may be harder than quitting smoking. Many people cannot lose weight and keep it off because they make a serious mistake from the beginning. This mistake is to follow a weight loss diet. That's right, if you want to lose weight and keep it off, you should not follow a weight loss diet. Keep reading to uncover the reasons why a weight loss diet will set you up for failure.

Losing weight is really not that hard once you learn to change your thinking about food. Over the years, you have learned to connect food with just about every event in your life. You celebrate holidays with food. When someone dies, the first thing that happens is the neighbors start showing up at your door with food. A wedding is celebrated with a huge wedding cake and plenty of food. The list goes on and on.

You have probably learned to turn to food for comfort. In times of stress or sadness, you may have learned that certain comfort foods will make you feel better. The result is a lot of extra pounds that keep adding up year after year and are now very difficult to take off.

So now that you are desperate to lose weight you will try every new weight loss diet that comes down the pike. This is where you are making your mistake. A weight loss diet may reduce your calories, have you eating all proteins or have you counting every calorie that goes in your mouth. Yes, you may lose weight, but now what? Do you know how to keep the weight off? Following a weight loss diet will get you nowhere. Changing your eating habits will get you everywhere.

The only way to lose weight and keep it off is to look at food in a whole new way. Start looking at food as a fuel source for your body. Don't look at it as comfort, hormone replacement therapy, or a filler for the void that is missing in your life. Food is only meant to fuel our bodies and to keep us healthy.

Once you start to change your thinking about food, losing weight will become easier. Now make it a habit to eat six, small, healthy meals a day. The more often you give your body a little fuel, the faster it will burn the calories. Ramp up the calorie burning by switching to diet soft drinks and be sure to get in six to eight glasses of water daily.

So there you have it. Your best chance for losing weight and keeping it off. Stop following a weight loss diet and start making healthy food choices. It really is simple.

Weight Loss Diet Program - Quick and Effective

by Dr John Anne

Obesity is a truly complex health hazards that may affect any individuals irrespective of age or gender. It can be a serious health problem that may in time prove itself a life-threatening disorder and put an individual suffering from obesity in a high risk for developing cardiac problems, cholesterol or diabetics. If you are overweight or you just wish to maintain your figure, weight loss diet certainly works best for you, if you can follow rigorously.

Analyze your emotional state

If you are really serious about your overeating problem and make a good control on it, you should first start taking a diary on your food habits. The diary can include three columns initially. In the first column, you write the name of the food you are taking. In the second column, you write the temptation that you have experienced before attaining the food and in the third column, you should write about the emotional satisfaction that you have derived after having the food. Now it is the time to compare between your short-term gratifications that you acquire immediately after having (or rather during having) and the long term impact that you actually gain in your health system. It will certainly help you to switch to weight loss diet.

Provide little extra time to control your impulse

If you feel like eating now, provide some extra little time to get a hold on your impulse. Say, for example, you feel that you need to feed now and hunger is hitting you up badly, try to give yourself at least 10 minutes time before you actually turn yourself into any action. It helps.

Have plenty of water

Drink a minimum of 6-8litres water daily. Especially, you try not to forget drinking water before your meal. It will reduce your hunger and provide you a ‘full feeling’. Not only that, pure drinking water has the ability to purify your system. It helps maintaining the homeostasis of the system with appropriate water retention while increasing the discharge of body wastages through urination.

Quick ‘n’ effective weight loss diet program

There are few quick but effective weight loss diet programs available in the market. In 1985, General Motors Inc in cooperation with John Hopkins Research Centre formulated a wonderful weight loss diet program for their employees and family members. According to the research, this program is effective and almost flawless. It is structured in a fashion that the followers of the program will be able to loose their weight to a remarkable extent, say, 10-17lb per week, without loosing their energy or stamina.

This is a seven day program; however, research has shown that there is no apparent harm related with it and this weight loss diet program can be repeated several times to get the desired result. If you are willing to follow this program, the first thing you have to do is to refrain from alcohol or any kind of alcoholic beverages. Additionally, you have to drink ten glasses of water every day.

On the first day of the program, you need to feed yourself with a variety of fruits except banana. The program suggests having lots of watermelon and a loupe to have good result. The second day comprises with vegetables. You may have raw or cooked one depending your own personal preference. To fulfill the requirement of carbohydrate, you may start with potatoes with little butter on it. Third day is a day of mixing. You have the combination of fruits and vegetables. But you are not allowed to have banana.

Third day of the weight loss diet program is not allowing you to have potato as well. In the fourth day, you may have a combination of banana and milk. But you are limited with 8 bananas and 3 glasses of milk. On the fifth day, you may relax a bit because it offers you to feed your appetite with beef and tomatoes.

Have 10 oz of lean beef with 6 tomatoes. But do not forget to increase your water intake by 1qrt. Sixth day is really lovely for you because you may have as many beef and vegetables as you want. In the seventh day, you may enjoy your weight loss diet by having brown rice, vegetables and fruit juice. Now measure your weight, and please do not forget to write a review of this weight loss diet program.

Oprah's Acai Weight Loss Diet - Does it Burn Fat? Find Out the Truth

by Rachel Archer

I’m going to warn you right off the bat, whatever you’ve read already online regarding Oprah’s Acai weight loss diet is probably not true, at least not entirely.

First however lets look at what Acai berries are truly good for.

So Oprah’s Acai Weight Loss Diet is fake?

I’m sorry to say its true, but essentially this cleanse that was promoted on the show was relying heavily, and when I say heavily I mean 90%+ on a fiber shake that you had to drink as well. The fiber essentially provided a colon cleanse and at the same time it balances blood sugar and some forms actually act as starch neutralizers (ie. PGX). So by sending mixed signals and claiming that Acai was burning fat, they mislead more than a few people it would seem.

Acai berry juice can however provide anti-aging benefits, many anti-oxidants so it helps prevent diseases such as cancer and anti-inflammatory compounds so some people experience benefits in terms of allergies and chronic pain. However weight loss in terms of burning fat it does not. Oh and its about $3 per day to get adequate benefits from it also, so it isn’t cheap.

Is There Anything for Real that Can Help Me Lose Weight?

There are many things, however the one that stands out from the rest was ranked the #1 diet of 2008. It is known as the calorie shifting diet. To summarize it briefly, it effectively does the following:

1. Lets you eat almost anything you want and without starving yourself.

2. Significantly increases your metabolism naturally.

3. Keeps results coming even after you go off of the diet. You keep off the weight and keep burning even more.

Top Weight Loss Diet of 2009 - Best Fat Loss Diet of the New Year

by Rachel Archer

Are you currently seeking out the top weight loss diet of 2009 so far? If so then I’m sure that the diet I plan to explain to you will be by far the best fat loss diet of the new year for you to experience. This diet I’m speaking of involves actually eating pretty much what you would normally eat and actually encourages eating to help make it work, although in a very specific way. The best weight loss diet of 2009 without a doubt is the calorie shifting diet.

So what can I expect from the calorie shifting diet?

The main objective of the calorie shifting diet is to have you eat, but specific food groups at certain times of the day so your body can maximize its ability to burn them off at that time. For example you might eat fat at lunch on Wednesday but on Thursday you only eat fat at breakfast and have carbs at lunch etc. It basically confuses your body so it can never adapt to your eating pattern and as a result your metabolism doesn’t know when to slow down so it continues to go ahead at full pace. The overall goal is to essentially prevent your body from ever resting its metabolism, so you effectively gain a metabolic rate equivalent to your maximum daily level at all times.

What about when I come off of the diet?

The best part about this diet is that it has proven to be the top weight loss diet of 2009 for good reason it can actually keep the weight off for good. You see when you confuse your metabolism in the way that calorie shifting does you effectively force your body to keep its metabolism going at full tilt, even when you finish. This effect even carries over when you go back to your old eating habits. However its recommended that you return to the diet again for a brief period of time to maintain your elevated metabolism, thankfully this is easily done since the diet is so easy to follow and doesn’t limit you in the way other diets do.

Discover why calorie shifting gets better results than any diet around. This diet is so simple to follow, it doesn’t require counting calories, carbs or fat. Even with a lack of motivation this weight loss method is guaranteed to help you lose more than 10 pounds in under 2 weeks and doesn’t require any exercise.

New Weight Loss Diets in 2009 - Review of Fad Diets From 2008

by Dean Boukaras

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past few months, if you have any interest in losing weight then you must have heard of either the cabbage soup diet, the acai berry detox diet that was made popular on Oprah and the Banana diet. Yup, if you’re thinking these all sound wacky then you wouldn’t be too far off. Instead of speculating let me tell you briefly about each one and what the best way to lose weight in 2009 will be. Hopefully this way you’ll avoid some of the fad diets of 2008 this way and use some new weight loss diets that actually work.

The Cabbage Soup Diet

What do you do? You eat cabbage soup every day for 7 days with a set amount of additional food each day. For example, on the first day you can have the soup and some fruits, another day you’re allowed the soup and some lean meat etc.

Does it work? In comparison to the next couple of fad diets I’ll mention, I’d say this one has the most legitimate claim to weight loss. By restricting carbs for the majority of the diet and primarily going off of soups and raw foods some days, weight loss can actually be expected. The change ups in the diet are a little strange, but overall this one isn’t bad, and the fresh cabbage soup you need to eat every day can be quite good for you, assuming you’re making it fresh and from scratch.

The Acai Berry Detox Diet

What do you do? Drink Acai berry juice everyday with a fiber shake… that’s it.

Does it Work? I’m not fond of this diet at all, because it isn’t one, and I feel there’s quite a bit of deception surrounding it. For one thing it proposes Acai berry as the leading reason for its weight loss, when in reality it’s the fiber shake that you need to drink every day that’s providing the majority, if not all of the weight loss related benefits. Acai berries have many nutritional benefits. However I believe the push that they’re getting for weight loss is unfounded and is just a way to cash in on the VERY expensive Acai juice that sells typically for around $40 for 30 servings, of which you are required to take 2 of every day to truly notice anything at all. If this is a special diet then so is eating fresh fruit and taking fiber every day, oh wait that’s called staying healthy!

The Banana Diet

What do you do? You wake up drink some warm water and eat as many bananas as you’d like until you’re no longer hungry. Then eat whatever you want for the rest of the day.

Does it work? I think these fad diets are just getting worse. The testimonials behind the success of this diet are sketchy at best, oh and they originated online too so don’t place too much in the way of expectations on this diet. If this was actually a structured diet, as opposed to just eating bananas for breakfast then maybe there could be something to it, the way it is though its lacking… Significantly!

What are some weight loss diets for 2009?

Calorie Shifting: Basically using a system that balances out what you eat every day in an organized and easy to follow way you can expect to lose weight effortlessly. Best of all you don’t have to stress over each meal trying to figure out if its ok to eat.

The Master Cleanse: If you want to lose weight and you still haven’t tried this, then you really need to get on this one. The only people who have done the master cleanse and not lost a significant amount of weight, did not know exactly what they were doing and generally did not follow the guidelines of going onto and off of the cleanse.

Why You Are Fat - Natural Weight Loss Dieting Program

by Chris Chew

Have you ever wondered why you are fat and have considered going on a weight loss dieting program? If you did, then you must know why certain food makes you fat.

Most if not all of us are somewhat carbohydrate addicts. We have pastas, pizzas, white rice, spaghettis, bread, refined flour food and confectionaries in almost if not all our meals. Just look at the queues at the fast food joints on a regular day and you will know what I mean. Bread and sweet sugary drinks are the menu of the day, naturally.

Some of us are reluctant to embark on a weight loss dieting program to lose that excess baggage (body fat) because we think it is an exercise in sheer willpower and futility.

“You are asking me not to eat bread/rice/pizzas/hamburgers, chocolates and ice-creams my entire life? You must be nuts!” Sounds familiar? For those who incessantly snack on biscuits and chocolates between meals to stave off hunger while working at the office, here is why.

You unwittingly and naturally reach for such snacks because of the food you chose to eat earlier at an earlier meal. If you start the day with three or four slices of white bread spread with fruit jam or margarine and then wash it down with coffee and sugar, you can be sure you will be craving for snacks by mid-morning even though your breakfast was a filling one.

When your food made up primarily of carbohydrate, especially refined carbohydrate like white bread and pizzas, with little protein or fat, not to mention high in sugar, your blood glucose surges crazily following that meal.

To counter the effect of extreme glucose surge in your blood stream, your pancreas will pump more insulin than usual to bring your blood glucose level down. What happens then is that your blood glucose surges will then dip lower than your pre-meal level. When this happens, you start to get hungry and crave for more sweet stuff and more carbohydrate. This is why you reach for sweet snacks and drinks instinctively. Thus the vicious cycle continues again and again and you are eating more and more calories. So choosing the food in your meal is important so that you will not get hungry fast and then consume more calories to satisfy that hunger upsetting your natural weight loss dieting program.

When more carbohydrate is consumed than can be stored by your liver and muscles as glycogen, they are naturally converted to fat. So what should you do?

Well, you can start to limit your carbohydrate consumption (note that I said limit and not stop) and on top of that, choose slow digesting carbohydrates especially carbohydrate with fibers like fibrous vegetables, fruits, legumes, brown rice and brown bread, your insulin spike will not be so eccentric and therefore you will not get hungry or having your sweet tooth so often.

Now think about it, if you do not reach for your snacks and sugary drinks that often, it means that you are consuming fewer calories. So if your caloric consumption is less than your caloric expenditure, you are right on a natural weight loss dieting program without even realizing it. Better still, you are not going on a hunger and starvation diet because you will not get hungry that easily.

Just imagine now that you are losing weight naturally, what if you incorporate an exercise routine into your natural weight loss dieting program to burn off some more calories? Your natural weight loss result will be amazing wouldn’t it?

Now that you know why you are fat, let’s get started on this natural weight loss dieting program.

Choose the Weight Loss Diet Plan That Works for You

by Groshan Fabiola

Each person is unique. We look different, we think differently, we have different personalities and most importantly our metabolism and our body response system is different from one person to the next. When it comes to weight loss, important factors must be taken into consideration. A weight loss diet plan must be conceived to match the unique features of our body and metabolism. However, one thing is certain, we all needs vitamins, whether they are included in our weight loss diet or in our daily meals.

A weight loss plan must be made according to how our body reacts to exercise, light meals or weight loss products. Most people believe that working out and eating less is the best method to lose weight, but unfortunately this is not entirely true. In fact, working out makes you beefy because fat is replaced by muscles, so your aspect does not change dramatically and eating light can lead to serious health problems. Lack of vitamins, stress produced by on-going work-outs, meals that do not satisfy your appetite do not make a good weight loss plan.

Although diet products are considered unhealthy by the general population, they are in fact much better than other diet plans. These diet products contain all necessary ingredients for you to stay healthy and reach the ideal weight. Moreover, a weight loss plan that includes diet products is cheaper than other diets. Many diet products have discount prices.

As has been said before, people can respond differently to diet products. What works for you might not be as good for your friend. For this reason alone you should try out more products and find out what products are perfect for you. However, this would mean a lot of money spent on useless products, unless you buy from companies that offer discounts and free products. Rather than spending a lot of money on diet products that might not work for you, you can receive free products and vitamins, or buy them for less money. Once you have found the diet products that work for you, offers will still be available, if you know where to shop.

You can create your own weight loss diet plan or you can talk to a specialist. Whatever choice you make, be sure to choose only natural products. Whether you want to diminish your appetite, want to lose weight fast or take plenty of vitamins, you should be very careful where you buy the products from. The companies that are trustworthy usually have a wide range of products, from diet products to vitamins, for both men and women, they have people to assist you with your decision making and offer free products for testing.

Your health is the most important thing in the world. Looking good and having the perfect body should not interfere with your health. If you choose an adequate weight loss diet plan and take plenty of vitamins, you will look perfect without endangering your health. Good diet products and vitamins, together with a thorough weight loss plan are the key to looking great.

Fast Weight Loss Diet Program

by Gen Wright

ht loss diet is a huge part of your weight loss program. If you get your diet wrong, it may jeopardize your efforts, and your weight loss program may fail. To prevent failure, detailed planning for your diet may be required. Here is an approach that you can adopt.

Having clear goals will help you get there faster. Put your goals down on paper, and boil everything down to numbers. The more ambitious your goals, the more effort that you will have to put in.

Once you know what your goals are, you can easily work out how you are going to achieve those goals. It’s the numbers that matter now. Lose weight naturally by burning more calories. Continue to work hard and keep the pounds at bay. Always remember that.

Now is the time to get to know yourself better. Take note of all your favorite foods. Do whatever you can to find out the calories for each type of food on your list. Sum up the calories - that’s the amount of calories you consume each day. Smaller meals tend to help the body to learn how to burn more fat naturally. For example, taking 5 smaller meals is better than taking 3 big meals each day.

Avoid red meat, and eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables.

Your greatest challenge will be your weight loss diet plan. Most people just don’t know how to plan for a weight loss diet properly. Will a low carbohydrate diet work? Having no answers to such questions, they adopt a second grade weight loss diet.

There are different pieces of the puzzle that you must put together to get a weight loss diet that will work for you. Calories isn’t everything in your diet. Consider other elements of the diet. Diet plans tend to look different for different people. Want to know why?

We all live different lifestyles, and we need different levels of energy to cope with the activities. As an example, some people do not exercise on a regular basis. Some exercise moderately. There are those who consistently exercise almost everyday. Obviously, the diets for these different groups of people will be different.

Your goal, will always be to eat healthily while at the same time, lose weight. Without experience energy loss, a diet with about 2000 calories will work well for most people. Monitor your consumption and try not to take in less than that amount. Otherwise, your body will start feeling deprived and will soon break down. That’s not a healthy diet plan.

Always plan based on your own personal needs. Try adopting a more gradual approach and drop your calorie consumption gradually. However, it would still be better to work off those calories by exercising. In other words, you burn off more calories.

Made any interesting observation here?

However hard you try, your body still needs to consume a certain amount of calories for it to function normally. Therefore, the only logical approach to adopt is to increase your metabolic rate.

Your Weight Loss Diet Plan Should Avoid These Six Mistakes

by Matt Lisk

you are making these fat loss mistakes because I did too! Based on my experience from losing over 80 pounds and finally keeping it off, here are some tips for avoiding these common dieting mistakes.

YOU ARE TRYING TO DO TOO MUCH TOO SOON

Trying to go from Sedentary Slob to Super Dieter on a Monday morning? Not so smart. It is a great way to ensure you will be back to the couch by mid-day Wednesday. You can’t expect to undo years worth of damage overnight.

If you typically eat three meals per day, start slowly by adding a snack - either in the morning or the afternoon, then work your way to six small meals every 2-3 hours. This approach to fat loss is called kaizen, a Japanese philosophy that focuses on continuous improvement throughout all aspects of life. Making a small change once a day or once a week leads to a constant state of improvement.

YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THE QUICK FIX

I was convinced I had a Loch Ness Monster in my colon and that was making me fat! But the colon cleanser I purchased only left me with a very sore butt, some leafy-looking things in the toilet and not a single pound lost.

Now I was convinced that I needed a super-duper-ultra fat burner - one that would melt away the fat while I sat on my butt doing nothing!

After thousands of dollars and lots of false hope, I realized that the only way I was going to achieve the lean body that I desired was to come up with a solid nutrition and exercise plan, and to add supplements that were backed by solid science.

YOU ARE LETTING OTHERS KNOCK YOU OFF-TRACK

My family is full of enablers - they mean well, but they were not sensitive to the fact that I was serious about staying on track with my weight loss diet. “C’mon a little bit won’t hurt” or “you can diet tomorrow” was all it took to convince me to eat. Within 30 minutes I had eaten myself stupid and undone all of the positive progress that I had spent the past week achieving.

Let those around you know how important it is for you to lose weight and what it means to both you, and them, if you do not achieve your goals.

YOU ARE NOT GETTING BACK “ON THE WAGON” IMMEDIATELY AFTER FALLING OFF

I would usually fall off my diet toward the end of any given week. It was at that point that I rationalized that, since I was “off the wagon” I would wait until Monday to get started again!

This probably won’t come as a big shock, but science now has proven that weekends can wreak havoc on your waistline. That was the conclusion of Washington University researchers, who found that even people on strict diet and exercise programs lose weight more slowly than expected because they eat more on weekends.

The verdict: People don’t need a holiday to eat more; they tend to do it every weekend because human lifestyle patterns can be very different.

There were two key takeaways for me from this:

1.The best time to get back “on the wagon” was at your next meal - do not wait until you’ve done more damage.
2. Do not let the weekends be different than any other day - stick with your plan whether it is a Saturday or a Wednesday

YOU ARE TRYING TO BE PERFECT EVERY DAY

Life is not perfect - and your diet plan shouldn’t be either. You can’t expect yourself to follow your program to the letter every second of every day until you reach your goal. If you do, you will ultimately fail. That is why you need to apply the 90/10 rule to your nutrition and exercise.

The 90/10 rule is very simple - if you are following your weight loss diet plan 90% of the time, then you will not be hurt by the 10% of the time that you are not. Your weight loss diet should include a minimum of 5 meals per day, with 6 meals being ideal. Following the 90/10 rule with 6 meals a day (or 42 meals a week) means that you have 4 meals a week where you can go off your program without halting progress, as long as those meals are reasonable.

Same rules apply to exercise. Let’s say your schedule permits you to work out 4 days per week. So in a month, you have 16 workouts - and following the 90/10 rule, you can miss 1 or 2 workouts without derailing yourself. However, you should save your “skips” for times when you really need to skip - like a poor night’s sleep, illness, or hectic travel schedule.

YOU ARE NOT SETTING REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS

It took you your entire life to get to this point, and you expect to reverse all of the damage in 3 weeks? That is what a lot of diet products would like you to believe.

You absolutely MUST set goals, but they MUST be realistic. What is realistic? one to two pounds of fat per week is a reasonable goal. The more you have to lose, the higher you can set your expectation. But if you are approaching double-digits with your expectations, you are setting yourself up for failure.
