Panicking
I'm starting to panic as the holiday to Barbados is looming ever closer and I have been quite lax lately in the food and exercise department. I think it has something to do with the horrible british weather, it makes you crave stodgy food and want to stay in bed in the morning instead of getting up earlier to exercise.
I promised myself I would read the Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle Book again to get back on track as I know it works.
While our parents grew up with the idea that it was best to eat only three meals a day, scientists now tell us that we need to eat more often than that if we want to lose weight. We are so eager to lose weight that we swallow the promises of every diet guru on the planet and eagerly plunk down our hard earned cash, praying that this time it will work.
Low-Fat/High-Carb Dieting - virtually all the diets promise that they are how to lose weight fast diets are supposed to work. Interval training is a fun and excellent way to burn fats and lose weight fast while building endurance at the same time. We know all these things yet we still don't practice them often enough.
Now you can use the power of hypnosis to not only break negative habits like overeating food like sweets, and chocolate but also to lose weight. But what if your problems aren't related to overeating chocolates and biscuits, what if you don't eat those things and still don't lose weight. I think that is your body saying that you have overdone the yo yo dieting over the years and your metabolism needs boosting.
The only way to do that is to eat several small meals a day and exercise, thus stoking the metabolic fires. This is basically what the Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle system is all about but with a lot of tips and tricks to help you on your way.
Some people may also argue that the points' system approach to weight control is a short term method and just one of many weight-loss options,this has worked for a lot of people, but I tried it and couldn't stick to it. I guess it just depends on your personallity typ too, what works for one person doesn't necarsarily work for everyone. We are struggling as a sociey with weight loss because people are attempting to combat it with short term solutions and it is not a short term problem.
The difference between those people who lose weight and those who don't is simply how many excuses they make. And we're all good at making excuses, me especially.
The fact is to lose weight permanently you need to make permanent changes to your lifestyle. Most weight loss experts agree that the key to long-term weight management evolves from permanent lifestyle changes. The key to permanent weight loss is speeding up your body’s metabolism so that it burns through the food you consume more rapidly.

Struggling in the New Year
Weight Loss
Well my weight loss efforts have been on hold for a few days due to a heavy cold, just couldn't get the energy to drag myself upstairs to the gym. Did manage to do a bit of research though on some weight loss diets etc.
The weight loss protein debate centers around the effectiveness of casein and whey protein as weight loss supplements. Some weight loss companies have used "The Mediterranean diet" as a name for a diet consisting mainly of food that are eaten by the population of the Mediterranean countries. There are thousands of diet books and diet gurus offering a myriad of ideas for quick weight loss.
It Is Time You Understood the Real Weight Loss Facts If you want to lose weight and keep it off you must do two things—exercise regularly and eat a diet that limits saturated fats, preservatives, sugars, and sodium. Myth #1- You shouldn't start weight training until you've lost most of the weight you want to lose because it will slow down your fat loss, or trap your fat in the muscle. FACT - Weight training is VITAL to a weight loss program as it turns up the metabolism that burns calories -and tones your muscles.
Restrictive Procedures: Restrictive weight loss surgery works by altering the size of the stomach, to reduce the amount of food that can be consumed at one time.
* Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding: This restrictive weight loss surgery, also called stomach banding, utilizes a band to divide the stomach into two portions. * Vertical Banded Gastroplasty: This is restrictive weight loss surgery in which the upper stomach near the esophagus is stapled vertically for about 2-1/2 inches to create a smaller stomach pouch. If you’ve opted for weight loss surgery, the cost of such a procedure can be quite daunting.
Relacore is touted as one of the most effective preparations for rapid weight loss that claim to reduce cortisol. The various rapid weight loss preparations on the market each claim to speed your weight loss using specific methods.
Bodybuilders have successfully overcome one of the toughest obstacles to healthy weight loss. Keep in mind, however, that bodybuilders also practice the diet basics of healthy weight loss.
If you're goal is fat loss, remember to incorporate weight training into your exercise regime along with cardio and intelligent dieting. Once you have achieved victory and attained your weight loss goal, consider the lifestyle changes that you will need to make to maintain your goal weight.
A YaHoo search of the term "Easy Weight Loss" yielded about 10,600,000 hits. Finally, running a Google search for "I want to lose weight but I don't want to exercise because I don't have the time, money or will power" will bring up about 633,000 sites. Too much conflicting information out there, there comes a time when common sense has to prevail.
Total calorie intake 1500 per day, Total calorie expenditure 2200 per day, result = weight loss. We all know that to acheive weight loss we have to reduce our calorie intake, and exercise. We can make our calories count for more though, ie instead of having that peice of left over Christmas cake, 400 cals, you could have some fresh fruit and save the extra 300 or so calories for later.
