Fast Weight Loss Tips

- What are the fast ways to lose weight?

Today I will focus on eating habit rules as I believe that this is the fastest way to lose weight. I have to warned you that I am speaking base on my experience and general observation. If you want to share your knowledge regarding the fastest way to shed those fats, I couldnt be happier if you could leave me your comments. I am sure a lot of the readers out there would love to hear your weight loss ideas.

Eating Habit Rules/ Diet Rules

Diet is defined as the established or regular sustenance that our body needs.

It is basically the proper amount of food and drink we need to maintain a healthy body. Subconsciously, we are deviating our eating habit to what is normally set. I will not further discuss more about the proper nutritional level you are supposed to get. Nevertheless, you should be aware of food nutrition. I would leave that to you as your assignment.

Eat the right food at the right amount. It is reasonable to say that our daily diet should include lots of fruits and vegetables. Some people are sustaining their daily diet by eating a lof of fruits. I tried this before and it really work and indeed one of the free and fast ways to lose weight. However, you should remember not to push your body to the limit of the hunger line. It has been studied that not eating and starving yourself will cause you a lot of weight problems. Eat three times a day. Try to balance each meals with proper food component.

A lot of resources are available in the internet regarding food nutrition content and calorie consideration. I am saying that diet rules are one of the free and fastest way to lose weight. If you remember, I emphasized that you have to plan your meals ahead so you don't end up eating junk food when you are caught unprepared.

Go ahead and check the internet to plan your meals ahead. I will share you my typical meal plan

Breakfast; 1 cup of rice, veggies, fish

Lunch; apple/lots of fresh juice

Dinner; Lettuce salad,fish

This is my basic meal plan. I usually play with the components and substitute meat for fish or oranges and other fruits for apple. Most of the times, I eat rice in breakfast and don't get hungry during lunch time so I eat fresh fruits only. Around 3 pm, I love to grab some watery fruits again to eat.

Tip: Don't wait for yourself to get hungry before deciding to eat. Starving yourself, gives you urges to eat more. This where comes the extra weight!

Again, the above meal plan works for me. You decide on your own base on your preference and goals.

Weight Loss is defined as a decline in the weight of the body emanating from various reason such as strict diet and diseases.

Its important that you ask this big question to yourself before you start thinking of getting rid of those fat or extra weight. Why? Self actualization is the key in everything you want to pursue. If you accept the fact that you are fat and over weight, dont be idiot and let yourself realize your fatness/obesity state.

Or if you choose to be an idiot, stay with me as you learn fat loss design for people like you.



2. Weight loss is not a magic Weight loss may be achieved once strict and proper diet is apply. Strict doesn't mean impossible things to the point that you let your body experience hunger. Strict means having rules. So an effective way to lose those extra fats is to follow a certain rules of diet. (I will go broader on this topic later)

How many extra weight you are planning to remove? Whats your time frame to your weight loss diet?

Choosing the Best Diet Program

Have you had trouble finding a best diet program that works for you?

All diets work. Whether high-fat, low-fat, or high in carbohydrates, they work. The bottom line is that even though some are healthier than others, virtually all diets are equally effective in the short term.

Permanent weight loss, however, is about long-term lifestyle management.

Before choosing a your best diet program, ask yourself:

How much weight do I want to lose? The two biggest reasons behind people giving up their diet programs are impatience and unrealistic expectations regarding the time and effort involved in a safe and lasting weight loss process.

Do I prefer a structured plan or a flexible plan?If you like structure and organization, then Weight Watchers should work for you. If you enjoy more freedom and prefer using common sense, then South Beach is for you.

1. Do I have time for shopping and cooking? Plans that involve the preparation of the foods you eat (South Beach Diet, Hypnosis, Zone) are the best way to go because they are more likely to be sustainable. However, programs like Weight Watchers that offer a middle of the road.
2. Do I prefer programs with good support systems? If yes, then Weight Watchers tops your list as it has a built-in support system.
3. What is the cost of the program? Before starting a diet program, you need to look at the costs involved. Programs that offer prepared meals and delivery services are costly, but convenient. You also need to consider whether there is a cost involved with weight maintenance.

Bracelets for Every Pound Lost

Kelley sent me the following email;

Hi there,
I found your website and wanted to share my weight loss story with you.

The photo I'm sending you is a picture of me after I lost 72 lbs. along with the before photo. It’s hard to believe but I did it. I'm also sending photos of the PoundPuncher Bracelets that I created during my weight loss. It's explained in the story. Thank you for taking the time to read my story.

My story begins in 2005 after the birth of my second child. Like all mothers I fell into the everyday routine of taking care of everyone except me. I kept putting on weight, felt depressed, and didn’t know what to do. In 2008, a friend asked me if I wanted to enter a local weight loss competition with her. Even though I didn’t want to I knew I needed to. I began eating wisely, exercising, and losing weight. After the competition was over I still had a lot of weight to lose. I wanted to change, feel alive again, be a happy person, and be there for my kids and husband. You can have all the support in the world but it's all up to you to make good choices in life.

I needed something to remind me all the time to NEVER give up and to be proud of the hard work that I had accomplished. I was determined to get to that dream. I knew I needed to stay focused and MOTIVATED to continue to lose weight, but how? I came up with an idea …..a bracelet. I had my husband create a bracelet that I had visualized. It tracked my weight loss and reminded me to make healthy choices when reaching for food. It was my daily "reminder" to keep going! I had lost 39 ½ lbs. in the competition and continued until I had lost 72 lbs. I felt the need to create more bracelets to help those on the same path, in order to give them hope and motivation. I had never created anything like this before and had no business experience, but I felt I needed to do this. Since then, I launched a website and have sold bracelets in a few stores and on-line. I’m thrilled to know that I was right about following my instincts.

Very few people know my story or how the bracelet helped me conquer the weight loss battle. I wear my bracelet everyday. It reminds me to be PROUD and to stay on the healthy road of happiness.

Thanks again and God Bless,

Kelley Davis

What’s REALLY Stopping You Losing Weight?

Having trouble shifting the kilos? The solution could be as simple as getting the right amount of sleep or changing the tea you drink, says Charmaine Yabsley.

---

Been on a diet for weeks, but the scales haven't shifted? You could be committing one of the following seven diet blunders, which stop you from looking and feeling your best. We show you how get back on track.

---

1. You're not sleeping enough

   It's a case of snooze and lose weight that is. According to a study at Laval University in Quebec, too much or too little sleep can make you pile on the weight. The study found those sleeping for less than seven hours a night gained 1.82kg over a period of six years. Those sleeping longer gained 1.36kg over the same period.
   
   "Lack of sleep alters the hormone balance that controls your appetite," says Drew Dawson, director of the Centre for Sleep Research at the University of South Australia. "Too little sleep lowers your levels of leptin, which controls your appetite, and increases your level of ghrelin, which makes you crave carbs, such as pasta and pastries."
   
   FIX: So what's the perfect amount of sleep? According to Dawson, we should follow the advice our grandmothers gave us. "Eight hours of work, with eight of hours activity, followed by eight hours of sleep is the ideal, healthy day," he says.
   
   



2. You're eating breakfast at the wrong time

   We all know that skipping breakfast can lead to weight gain, but the time you eat breakfast and what you consume also plays an important role in a weight-loss plan. "It could be that you're not eating enough early in the day. You should eat within one hour of waking," says Sharon Natoli, accredited practicing dietitian and director of Food & Nutrition Australia.
   
   A study published in the British Journal of Nutrition found those who ate more protein at breakfast (compared to lunch or dinner) reported a greater initial and sustained feeling of fullness through the day.
   
   FIX: “If you're serious about your weight loss, then include protein-rich foods, such as yoghurt, eggs, nuts and seeds," says Natoli. "This can help make it easier to stick to a lower kilojoule (1 kilojoule = 0.239 kilocalorie) amount each day," she says.
   
   Also, you can help kick-start your metabolism by having a glass of cold water on waking, say German researchers. Add some lemon juice for good measure.
   
   



3. You're using weights at the gym

   Pumping weights can be a great way to improve muscle tone, but just be mindful of how you do it. "When you perform single moves with a weight, such as a bicep curl, you're isolating that muscle while the rest of your body remains static. This means that your body is actually in 'sleep' mode, so it will not be burning fat," says Tracy Anderson, personal trainer to Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow.
   
   FIX: Instead of isolated muscle training, try combining aerobic exercises with resistance weight training. Try moves that work many muscle groups at one time, such as push-ups and lunges. As long as your entire body is moving, you're onto a weight-loss winner.
   
   



4. You had a traumatic time giving birth

   "If you've had a long labor and a consequently difficult birth, it's natural to seek comfort in food," says psychotherapist Lesley Murdin. "This is the mind's mental response to coping with trauma and seeking comfort, but these behaviors reinforce the traumatic experience, and may lead to addictive habits, such as overeating."
   
   FIX: If you had a difficult time giving birth and are finding it hard to shift extra weight, it may help to speak to a therapist about your feelings surrounding your birth experience. "Treating the trauma, rather than the weight gain, would enable the individual to be in control of their weight and their trauma," says Murdin.
   
   



5. You’re drinking black tea

   Black tea is fully fermented, which removes some of its active thermogenic antioxidant ingredients, thereby minimizing its weight-loss enhancing properties. So what should you enjoy instead for your cuppa?
   
        Pu-erh tea, named after the village in southwest China from which it originates, has recently attracted attention for its weight-loss benefits. This is because it’s high in epigallocatechin, a potent antioxidant with thermogenic properties that help the body burn more fat.
   
        Normally, when fat is burned, toxic by-products are produced and the body shuts down fat metabolism while the liver eliminates these. But Pu-erh tea’s antioxidant actions help it to neutralize these toxins, so that the body can continue its fat-burning process.
   
   FIX: Aim to drink about three to five cups of Pu-erh tea per day for optimum results.
   
   



6. You’re on a diet

   Let’s face it, diets don’t work. “Diets are not the answer to weight issues,” says personal trainer Suzy Gilligan. “Yo-yo dieting confuses your metabolism – sending your body into starvation mode and storing food in case it’s needed later. All this does is make you heavier, since every kilojoule (1 kilojoule = 0.239 kilocalorie) and mouthful is stored on your stomach, bum or thighs.”
   
   FIX: Research shows that women who consistently yo-yo diet are more likely to end up carrying extra weight. Every time you stop dieting and eat normally, your body will then store that fat on certain areas. “So, if you want to avoid thunder thighs and a muffin top, get off the diet bandwagon – you’ll look much better for it,” says Gilligan.
   
   



7. You sit still

   You know those people who fidget a lot? Have you noticed how they tend to be slim, despite eating whatever they like? Scientists from Germany and the US say they have identified a ‘fidget’ code and, if you have it in your genes, you are less likely to be overweight. It seems that people who fidget are actually getting exercise without even being aware of it, says lead researcher professor Mathias Treier.
   
   FIX: But what happens if you’re not a natural fidgeter? Then, think up some strategies to increase movement, such as doing away with the remote control or even knitting.

Getting Party Ready with Your WLS Tool

I wrote this article for the 5 Day Pouch Test Bulletin published 12/06/2010. For anyone with weight loss surgery who is preparing for a holiday party the advice is timely. I think it defines so well what many of us say our new objective is after weight loss surgery --- to enjoy LIVING!


Not so good conventional advice...


Eat a small meal before the party I'm sure you are familiar with

Affirmations or Askfirmations?

I've been reading a lot about stair climbing in the last 48 hours, since I decided to do The Big Climb March 20, 2011. Setting this as a goal, with a weight loss goal of 20 pounds by the time of event seems to have really motivated me. When I want to eat something not on plan, I think about climbing those stairs (like those chocolate truffles someone brought in to work today).

It turns out stair climbing is quite a competitive sport. Who knew? I certainly had no idea.

During my research on how to train (the StairMaster alone isn't go to be anywhere near enough - I have to do real stairs), I came across a very interesting article.

The article is Which is Better: Affirmations or “Askfirmations?” by PJ Glassey, but this is the excerpt that really caught my attention:
Is there a better way?


I am always on the hunt to reduce the need for willpower, because I firmly believe that achieving true fitness doesn’t have to be a battle. This is why I was so excited to read the research study by Dolores Albarracin, published in Psychological Science, April 2010, Volume 21, Number 4. She discovered that phrasing affirmations as a question instead of a statement drastically increased success! When people asked - “Am I going to exercise today?” instead of saying “I will exercise today.” – They were much more likely to follow through.


She found that framing the desired outcome as a question presented a challenge to the person -instead of a requirement that they might rebel against. By asking themselves a question, people were more likely to build their own motivation. The results of this experiment showed that participants not only did better as a result of the question, but that asking themselves a question did indeed increase their intrinsic motivation.

I really like this idea. There's rarely a morning that goes by where I don't have an argument with myself about going to the gym. It's a battle that usually I give up fighting it and just go, but I wonder if it might be easier if I try this approach that PJ talks about. Tomorrow morning I'm going to give it a try.

My food has been pretty good the last couple of days. Although I can't get over the zero Point fruit. It seems that I was spending a lot of my Points on fruit, as well as Points on vegetables because I never ate a 1/2 cup serving of any vegetable (and there were Points in vegetables if you ate more than a minimal sized serving).

Now that I don't have to do that I feel like I have a lot of Points available. I honestly don't know how this is going to work but I'm going to give it a try. I believe Weight Watchers knows what they're doing, but this one seems a little bit too lenient to me. I guess the proof will be in Saturday's weigh in.
