Weight Loss is Not All In The Mind

2010-07-10T21:50:00.000+02:00

By the title, you are probably expecting a scathing attack on the alternative side of health and weight loss, but actually, this is not the case. What I want to get across here is that a great deal of the weight loss process is most certainly in the mind of the person although it is not the whole process.

While it is important to get your mind into the right frame of thinking before you can expect to get the best success with your own methods for losing weight, it is also important to have a definite physical strategy to follow on with. To really get the best results and to give yourself the very best chance of success, this will involve a combination of a good, healthy and well balanced diet and a regular exercise program.

Now straight away, plenty of people are going to shy away from this idea because it sounds like it is going to involve some work on their behalf. Well, yes there is, but you have to remember that if you want anything for yourself, no matter what it is, you are going to have to do something to make it happen. If you want to get a new job, do you sit there at your present one dreaming about it and suddenly you get a great job offer out of the blue? No! It doesn't happen that way. you have to get off your backside and go0 looking for the job you want, then apply for it through the usual channels and then maybe if you are qualified you will get an offer of a job interview.

The same goes for losing weight. You can't just sit there and dream about having a great looking body and it magically appears. You should focus your thoughts on being positive, determined and motivated to succeed, certainly but then you have to take the next step. You have to do something to make it happen and that something is getting off your backside and getting yourself a good diet and working out some exercises that you can do on a regular basis.

So when you hear that weight loss is not all in the mind, you are hearing right. It starts in the mind as an idea, which grows into a definite goal to aim for which is followed by a mental attitude that is positive, upbeat and determined that you will achieve that goal. Then the physical side of things has to swing into action by working on your diet and exercise program that will ultimately result in you achieving your goal because that's what you set out to do, planned to do and went and did it.

Some Basic Weight Loss Facts

2010-05-10T19:42:00.000+02:00

Here we are back once again and in this post I want to get back to basics with a look at the very fundamental aspects of losing weight. It in reality is a part of key human character to want to do something in the easiest and least time consuming approach to get the same product. Consequently when a person shows up and reports to you that you can have accessibility to the easiest weight loss tips to stick to that you'll doubtless catch anyplace, you are certain to sit up and get interested. In any case, the great idea in relation to that is precisely what you should be going to read about here and it is so uncomplicated, it will not take too long to clarify it!

You'll see, when you get past all the excessive verbosity, what you are left with describe three chief truths that you will want to know about. If you do abide by them, then you're not merely certain to lose weight, but you might get a good looking body to go with it and maintain every probability of keeping a healthy weight and magnificent body figure. These three clear-cut specifics are:

1. You must consume less calories than you burn

2. Exercising on a regular basis means you have the ability to burn more calories than you consume

3. A positive frame of mind enables you to successfully achieve the opening two things

This is not tough to do, but wisdom will demonstrate that basically: If you have the aspiration, the energy and the dedication to really lose weight and retain a healthy weight and form, then you will:

1. Just eat as well as drink the stuff that you understand are right for you and will not trigger weight gain

2. Set aside a period to complete some cardiovascular exercises daily that will progress your potency and energy while it will drive your metabolism to advance and burn more energy

If you are short of the mental drive, your efforts will be less effectual because the drive to achieve success is not going to be present. Consequently that is certainly a crucial state that you should develop at the outset prior to your make an effort to lose weight. By not having the exercise to increase your metabolism and urge your muscles to burn added energy, any diet you go on will be less effective and might not last for a good deal longer than you are able to continue on the diet for. Do not forget that exercise will also tone up your body and present you that fantastic looking form that you in the end wish for and that a diet alone will not be as successful at providing that for you.

So you will see how useful it is to operate with these three major ideas and everything besides that is built surrounding them is just the accessories to the most important outcome. It sort of boils down to bare bones the weight loss tips that we all rely on to get us what we ultimately want.

Nutrisystem Cost

2010-03-18T10:04:00.004+01:00

For people who lead a very busy busy lifestyle where there is little time for squeezing in a complex diet plan or daily exercise routine, a convenient diet plan is an essential way of losing weight and when you look at the Nutrisystem cost of their particular offering, you'll be pleasantly surprised once you work it all out for yourself. This article takes a look at how you can do that and turn what you may have initially thought an expensive diet into a relatively cheap one that provides everything you need right out of the box.

Imagine the convenience of being able to lose weight on a diet where the meals are delivered to your door. So that all you need to do is store them in your freezer, then take them out and microwave them when you want to eat them. No calorie counting charts, no fiddling with weights and measures, no hassle.

This is exactly what you get with the Nutrisystem diet. It comes in a variety of plans tailored to specific groups. These can be customized to suit you exactly so that you can order what you want to eat. On top of that you are assured of getting a calorie controlled diet with meals that are low in saturated fats and have only low GI carbohydrates. They also contain a good balance of proteins and other essential nutrients essential to good health. All in all, they are healthy meals designed to help you to lose weight with all the convenience of ready leas without all the bad ingredients that the ones you get from the supermarket are stuffed full of.

What puts a lot of people off this great diet plan is the perceived cost. They see the total cost for a month's diet meals and it looks expensive. But is it?

If you break things down, you'll see that the Nutrisystem cost is actually very much on par with what you'd normally spend on your food over a month. That's right, in some cases, as you will be cutting out a lot of the junk foods and snacks, it can actually work out cheaper than buying your regular groceries over a month!

Think about that.

A purpose made, personally tailored, convenient diet of three meals a day plus two snacks for a whole month delivered to your door. All you have to do is microwave the meals when you want to eat them. And all for a cost that is often no more than what you'd normally spend?

It can't be possible, surely?

But it is. Sit down and do the math. Write down what you spend on buying food for three meals a day over four weeks and then compare that total cost to the Nutrisystem cost of their 28 day plan that you choose for yourself.

Did that surprise you?

It should have, because now that you know how little you really have to pay for this diet, what's stopping you?

Weight Loss Aid

2009-12-15T21:36:00.002+01:00

When you think about the many reasons why you'd some positive weight loss tips to bolster your armory of techniques and strategies, it comes as no surprise that any additional help you can get is always most welcome in your battle to lose the spare tire. So let's look at the importance of having the information that you need to succeed in achieving your goal and how you can best use it to really boost your chances of success.

It all begins with your initial foray into the world of weight loss where you are faced with a bewildering array of programs, plans, strategies and techniques all designed to supposedly help you to shed the number of pounds you decide you need to lose. Often, the choice put before you is overwhelming in its variety and sheer volume. This is, of course not helped by the fact that the media is falling over itself to shove as many of these wonder plans in your face as it can in the hope that they can sell you something and pick up a commission for their trouble.

This is the first problem you are going to have to deal with in that most of what is presented to you may or may not be beneficial to you. It's a case of having to sort the wheat from the chaff, so to speak! That's because many of the plans that are being promoted are thrust at your door because they will make money for someone, not because they will necessarily help you to lose weight.

Sure, there are some bona fide weight loss companies out there that can help you to shed some of the excess weight by using their plans, such as Weight Watchers, Nutrisystem, South Beach Diet, Zone Diet and others. Alongside these established and trusted companies are a whole group of stylish diet plans designed to target certain areas of your diet and exclude others in an attempt to cause you to lose weight and while some work for some people, others will not work for others. This is because everyone is different and what works for one person may not necessarily work for someone else!

Knowing and understanding this important point, you can really boil it down to the company that you trust the most to come up trumps for you. This you will find out through recommendations from friends, family and colleagues who have tried the products and had success with them. Then there are the online review sites that fall into two categories.

1. Review sites that give an unbiased review of the product for no monetary gain

2. Review sites that simply promote the product for a commission per sale they generate.

Knowing which is which is not always easy as the obvious giveaway for the second category of review suite would be great big ads plastered all over the page for the product being reviewed and the review itself being overly positive and nothing more than a thinly veiled sales pitch. However, honest reviews will be unbiased and provide negative points as well as positive points about the product. Some will still carry an ad or two for the product but they won't be overly promotional and you can probably get a better feel of trust from them. The choice is yours whether you take what they say as honest or not.

So you see getting honest weight loss tips is not always straight forward, but once you can train yourself to see past the obvious sales pitches and find the real, honest reviews and info pages, then you are in a much stronger position to really increase your chances of success by finding the advice that is good for you rather than the rubbish that is just trying to sell you something.

Weight Loss Spells?

2009-11-16T21:56:00.013+01:00

Back again and with this post I want to take a look at some of the more less thought about weight loss methods and strategies that exist but that are every bit as valid as the mainstream ideas that are generally put about. So first of all, what am I talking about here when the title of this post says weight loss spells? Well, I'll show you...

I'm not going to be going into the occult or paranormal here, far from it. All that stuff is probably better left to the Hollywood move makers imaginations to try to scare the hell out of us all! No, what I'm going to look at here are some real life ways you can change your weight by using the power of your own mind to work on your behalf, while using your body to work with the mainstream base methods such as eating the right foods and taking regular exercise.

Ok, I'll put a spell on you... first thing you should learn how to do is to meditate. Seriously! Meditation is absolutely the way to reduce stress in your life. It is stress that is helping your to gain weight by suppressing your body's own ability to function normally and shift the calories that you're putting in. It is also making you put more calories in your body in the form of comfort eating or eating when your nervous or agitated. Ah, I see the light bulb glowing brightly above your head!

So by reducing stress, you place yourself in a stronger position to deal with your weight and your overall health while you're about it. Gets interesting, doesn't it?

Next up is to change your attitude. Far too many overweight people have a negative mental attitude which is keeping them locked in a cycle of weight gain and no way back. Get yourself into a positive frame of mind, one where you are certain beyond any shadow of a doubt that you are going to lose weight, and guess what starts to happen? Yep, the pounds start dropping off as if by magic. Magic spell? Not really, just you setting your own mind the way you want it.

So there are some weight loss spells that aren't really spells at all, but natural, normal ways of thinking and being that can have a profound effect on your health and your body to provide the weight loss help that you need and deserve. So get smiling and get positive!

Does the Nutrisystem Diet Work?

2009-08-12T20:11:00.006+02:00

Welcome back with a question that I bet plenty of people are asking and that's, "How reliable are Nutrisystem reviews?" Well, to answer that, you have to think along the lines of how any diet works and then the people that are going on the diet!

You see, not everyone will stick rigidly to any diet, no matter how good it may be and that's where they fall off and fail. Sure, its tough to stick with any diet and expect to enjoy yourself, but that's what has to happen if you want to lose weight. But there's more to it than even that.

What a lot of people who take on this or that latest great diet is they fail to combine that with exercise. That's right! It's no good dieting and not exercising as well. Do you want to know why?

When you are dieting and your body is not burning the calories you are consuming, you will still not lose any weight. You can even gain weight while you're on a diet if you don't exercise! Bet you didn't know that! Its true, because when you are not exercising, you are simply not burning many calories. If your intake of calories is high, you will gain weight pretty fast. So dieting can actually do no good without the body burning the calories its consuming.

What happens when you further restrict the calorie intake by going on a strict diet is that your body goes into survival mode which is a mechanism it has to cope with times of no or little food. It slows the metabolism and still manages to store some of the calories you consume as fat, even when you are consuming very few calories.

When you exercise, however, you start burning more calories and then your body starts to use up what you're consuming and then more. Then you start to use up the store of fat cells and your weight will begin to drop. That's how it works.

So going on something like the Nutrisystem diet can work very well as long as you also do some daily exercise to burn off the calories you consume. If you don't, then no diet system will work and you'll just give them all a bad press because you're too lazy to help yourself by doing the exercise that is essential to your success!

Think about that the nest time you read a diet review!

Weight Loss Spas

2009-07-15T17:52:00.007+02:00

There are so many ways to lose weight thee days and so many methods to make it as easy or as hassle free as possible. One such easy way of losing weight is to plan a vacation at one of the many weight loss spas that are popping up everywhere and promise to make your holiday a fun and productive one at the same time.

So what's all the fuss about these weight loss spas?

Well, if you're planning a vacation anyway and haven't really got a set idea of where to go, then these spas as ideal in that they provide a very restful and stress free vacation while combining that much needed rest and relaxation with some good, honest weight busting programs designed to help you to shed a few pounds while not feeling like you are actually doing anything special to lose some weight.

Diet Food Delivery

2009-06-17T12:05:00.003+02:00

Diet food delivery plans are growing in popularity these days with a whole bunch of companies now providing specially formulated low calorie, low GI carbohydrate based ready meals that are delivered to your door.

The way they work is once you get them delivered, you simply put them all in your freezer and then just take one meal out at a time to replace your usual meal. They work really well when those that go on them stick to them and don't cheat. Problem is, most people who go on diets to lose weight will cheat! Its a simple fact of life, although the real downer about it is that many of those people who do cheat, then complain the loudest that their particular diet food delivery plan didn't work for them. Then they'll go on to give a variety of concocted reasons why they think it didn't work, when really it failed because they were stuffing a load of crap down their gullets when they thought no one was looking.

So what is to be done about it?

Nothing can be done, except to educate people that if they want to spend money on trying to lose weight they should at least be honest with themselves and stick with it, no matter how tempted they are to eat other stuff. Its all about willpower and determination. If a person is determined enough to lose weight, they will do what they have to do in order to do it. If they are only half hearted about it, they will fail. Simple as that.

Only a very low percentage of people who really do stick with a delivery diet food plan without cheating fail to lose any weight. But even that can be explained. It is likely that those people just relied on the diet alone to make them lose weight and one of two things happened.

One, they didn't actually need to lose any weight in the first place, but they were trying to look like some skinny model they saw on TV or in a glossy magazine. In that case, the body knows what it should be like and attempts to achieve a lower weight than is healthy can result in the body simply slowing down its metabolic rate to compensate for the reduction in calories consumed. That means is won't actually lose any weight because it will still store fat from unburned calories.

Two, they did need to lose a few pounds only, but they didn't combine the diet with some daily exercise to ensure their bodies were burning more calories than they were consuming.

Either way, the diet plan will seem to have failed. But for most people who do it the right way, ie stick to the diet, don't cheat and do some daily form of exercise, success is almost guaranteed.

This is because their regular diet is often not very healthy and loaded with trans fats, sugars, high GI carbs and additives, so switching to a healthier diet is often enough to kick start the body's metabolism and cause more calories to be burned than are being consumed.

That's the way to lose weight, after all!

Weight Loss Photos Help with Motivation

2009-05-18T14:08:00.009+02:00

Everybody knows that when it comes to weight loss, some processes work perfectly for some, while others will be more successful for others. A good number of people maintain one means that they stay with to help them be a success at losing weight. One of the more remarkable techniques that is really effective is using photos to heighten your self-assurance and motivate you to lose weight.

Here's how it can be effectual for you too.

Weight loss is a not merely a combination of diet and exercise alone. It's also a mindset. When someone wishes to lose a few pounds, so long as they are optimistic, believe in themselves and are convinced they can succeed, then success will be theirs. Leave the details of diets and training routines to the experts, while you concentrate on the things you must do for you. That is to induce your mind to get into the precise gear for the responsibility at hand.

One of the most potent ways of training your mind to be assured and motivated to lose weight is to use visualization methods. These succeed by using your imagination to envision yourself being at the idyllic weight and having the perfect body figure that you crave. When you get a picture in your imagination of how you desire to be, then targeting for that outcome becomes to a large extent easier and more liable to happen. But you can bring visualization one step further by using photos to boost your envisaged result.

Additionally, you can actually produce a series of photos that trace your development throughout the process from start to finish. The first photo shows you as you are seen as before you get going. This is the likeness that you place someplace prominent to remind you of what you intend to reject the old you. The fridge is a satisfactory position to place this one. That's because it's the single site that you go to in order to maintain that not needed, flabby shape of yours! Each time you go to open the fridge door, you'll notice that photograph and will not be too keen about reaching for the ice cream!

As you persist with your weight loss program, then week by week you'll take a new photo of yourself to visually follow your steps forward and form a real vision of you losing weight and how admirably you're doing. This is an added compelling exercise in inspiring you to be successful, as as you travel through your week, you'll be very perceptive that the ending of it will establish another picture and you'll be keen to make sure that photograph confirms an improvement. As you notice you are losing weight, you're stirred to persevere with doing all you can, to ensure the subsequent picture illustrates you looking trimmer and healthier than the previous one.

So you understand that as a compelling technique to aid you to lose weight successfully, using snapshots to track your weight loss progress is particularly practical. Your impulse rises as your probability of disappointment diminishes thanks to the constructive mental strengthening of having a weekly visual purpose to work towards.

Losing Weight In Small Steps

2009-04-18T14:16:00.028+02:00

Its a pretty well known fact that in the process of losing weight, plenty of people are likely to get involved with the one of the most up to date fad diets, or this or that most recent thing hoping to be shedding a few pounds as rapidly as possible so that they can look totally great for some notable occasion that's equally rapidly approaching in their personal social calendar. They will latch on to whatever the most popular tips for weight loss happen to be at the time, whether they are workable or not.

Well, that's absolutely fine if all they want to do is lose those few pounds in the short term. They certainly should not be all that aghast when it all comes piling back on again shortly after that all important occurrence! That's because fast diets and other weight loss schemes often usually fail.

They usually fail as the person trying them often fails to have the necessary motivation to keep up the good work they began doing. This can be for a variety of reasons. But the most common of these is that they simply did not get pleasure from losing weight. That is not to say that they didn't derive pleasure from the end result, naturally! It was the procedure that got them there that they disliked!

Therefore when it comes to losing weight, the real magic is to ensure that whatever system of losing weight you opt for is enjoyable enough, that you will not lose motivation or hope. It's accepted that when anyone stays with a weight loss program long enough, they are going to not only lose the bulk of what they yearn to lose, but they are liable to keep it off.

So what do you suppose are the most successful weight loss tips to fulfil that long term objective?

Well, it is much easier to stay with a diet that is absorbing and has lots of alternatives, rather than one which is boring and inflexible. It's also more straightforward to not fail with an exercise routine that is interesting and varied rather than one which is tough work and more like an army fitness regime.

So, at the end of the day we can see that the key to the most real way of losing weight is to make it as nice, enjoyable and not rigid as possible. That way the unwanted pounds will not only drop off easy, but it will remain off as well!

Easy Weight Loss Tips

2009-01-24T12:16:00.007+01:00

Easy weight loss tips must sound like an almost unbelievable idea, but in reality its quite the opposite. Weight loss can be easy if you are in the right frame of mind to make it so. The last post here "Slimming with Water", looked at how drinking plenty of water throughout the day is one of the best slimming agents there is. So here, I'm going to take that idea further by looking at it as one of the easy weight loss tips that there are, as well as some others.

So back to water, briefly. Why is water such a good strategy when there are a plethora of pills and potions that you can get at the pharmacist or nutritionist store?

Well for starters, its free!

Losing weight doesn't get any cheaper than that! Add to that it is freely and easily available wherever you go, which means there's no excuses for not drinking plenty of it. On top of that, it is a big part of our body's make up, so complements our natural state of being. So don't turn your nose up at something that is free, readily available and works!

Next, an easy and free resource that everyone who wants to lose weight should make the best use of is their minds. Again, these are free, readily available and the bets part is they can be trained to work almost automatically. Think I'm kidding?

Your mind is what controls your body, so of course it is the best weapon you can possibly have when it comes to health, fitness and weight loss. You can train your mind by telling it what it should do. That's right! One way is by repetitive or rote mental teaching that is as easy as repeating a positive phrase, or affirmation over and over in your mind every day, like:

"I am healthy and my body is achieving its perfect weight"

or

"Every day I am getting healthier, slimmer and feel better"

Make some up of your own that suit the way you talk to yourself in your own head. Just make them positive affirmations and avoid the negative like the plague. Things like "I'm not fat any more"or "I wish I wasn't so overweight" are negative and will have the wrong effect. Make the affirmation in the present tense, make them what you want and NOT what you don't want, make them believable to you and make them fun!

These can be repeated whenever you have a few free minutes all throughout the day, like if you're stuck waiting in a queue. Don't get frustrated at having to wait, turn it into a positive moment and use it to say your affirmations to yourself!

So when it comes to discovering some of the best weight loss tips, it pays to think outside the box occasionally. Then you'll discover that every cloud really does have a silver lining when you know how!

Ok, that's all for today. See you again next time!

Weight Loss Tips

Slimming with Water

2008-11-15T22:07:00.009+01:00

Well the last post "Losing Weight Naturally", got plenty of information down about the subject of shedding the pounds without resorting to the use of artificial means such as diet pills, chemical laden milk shakes or other dubious methods of losing weight.

Now I'll take the easy route and talk about one of the most natural substances anyone can possibly resort to in the war against the flab. Water is as natural as it gets and when you drink enough of it every day, you can't help but lose weight over time.

You see, most people do not drink enough water every day. They dehydrate without realising they are and to compensate, search for food in the form of snacks to fill the void. This is where weight gain comes from in many people and it can so easily be countered by knowing when you need to drink more fluid.

Not just any old fluid will do, unfortunately. You can't reach for a soda or sugary fizzy drink and expect that to make up part of your daily fluid intake. All you'll achieve by doing that is more weight gain and that includes so-called diet drinks.

Diet drinks contain artificial sweeteners which have a property that not many people know about. Apart from the dangers linking them to cancer (aspartame being one off the worst offenders) they also have a tendency to cause you body to crave more food, especially sweet or fatty things. Which will naturally cause weight gain! You can't help it!

So as far as some of the best weight loss tips can possibly go, ditch the sodas and the diet sodas and the isotonic drinks and the flavoured fizzy water and do yourself, your body and your waistline a big big favour and switch to plain water. And make sure you drink at least two to three pints a day.

Well, I hope that this has been a real eye opener for you and its something I wish I'd known about when I was much younger. Except back then, nobody really knew about this, at least not in the majority of cases, so as a teenager and young adult, I had no idea that lack of water was probably causing more damage than I realised and was setting me up for health problems in later life. When you're young, you think you know everything and nobody can tell you, right? But you have to kick yourself in the arse sometimes and wake up to the fact that you're not the genius you think you are and to bite the bullet and actually take somebody's advice once in a while!

Losing Weight Naturally

2008-09-08T15:47:00.007+02:00

Well, its time to think about losing weight naturally and post again. After my last post, lets get to it.

Maybe we have too many great weight loss tips and not enough how to exercise safely. This in spite of the fact that a blog all about how to get healthy discovers there are actually many ways for losing weight. Now I will teach you how to use good health to your advantage. Now our thoughts should turn to the truisms about fitness and exercise. They're really playing with fire. I personally enjoy losing weight but not making it a chore.

Slimming tips is important in accomplishing your goal. This is some of the stuff you've got to do to get losing weight. This will help you weather the storm. Good health is a diamond in the rough. At first, I couldn't make heads or tails of how to do this easily, until it all fell into place. Finding some really great weight loss tips are the next best thing, but first you need to get off your lazy backside and roll up your sleeves and get to work. This is one of the easiest things I have found out about losing weight. Now why will this not work? I could be compelled to accept that it most certainly does work.

I don't need a fresh approach. Without choosing the right diet my losing weight is pointless. Does this have a direct correlation with losing weight? It’s one of the best ways there is. I had always found that if I actually made less how to lose weight easily that I would get less losing weight. This is not important now. I am not in favour of all the many slimming tips that are around, mainly because a lot of them are too difficult to see through. Better to concentrate on good health. You can quote me on that. It is super how a normal person does not explain a picnic of a point like this. I don't know if this working for me but I will try it. The goal is to increase the number of ways to achieve success that are available.

This is just huge. You don't always need a fresh approach to slimming tips. I’m not covering all the bases I need to here. We have to nip it in the bud. I am going to try and simplify things as much as possible. Anyone can do this. I know a picture's worth a thousand words.

It’s easily the fastest way. We don't need a fresh approach to losing weight. There are simply no suspicious activities on this field. It's all cut and dried. Slimming is easy and everyone who can swim loves to swim and this is a great way to get fit and healthy. You'll never know what you get out of it if you don't try it.

I bought some books on how to lose weight easily the other day. Whatever turns you on, but reading them was an eye opener. Sounds simple, but it’s not. At first, I couldn't make heads or tails of it. Seriously though, check into this side of things. In my opinion and experience, no. this is really fun. I can’t think of a better reason to get some good weight loss info? You need to go above and beyond what others are telling you about losing weight.

There are some areas where I seem to have the odd problem or two with losing weight. It is expected for fitness and exercise to lose its lustre after a while, but you just have to keep going until you reach your goal. It has to do with the fundamentals of the whole process. It is what it is.

Weight Loss Top Tips #3

2008-09-04T11:36:00.009+02:00

After my last post, its time to follow on with another of my great weight loss tips for anyone to do if they want to. That doesn't mean anyone has to do any of these, it just means that if you want to give yourself a chance to lose weight, then you might want to give some of these great tips a try to see how well they work for you.

Well, this particular addition to my collection of weight loss tips is a really simple one to do and one that anyone can have a go at because its so surprisingly easy and its also really nice to do too. What a double bonus that is! Easy and nice...

Well, you'll see just how easy and nice it is when I start explaining this one. What is it then?

Stretching!

I can see the smiles appearing on faces at this little revelation that is not really much more than a simple and common sense thing to do. But it gets even easier and even more pleasurable when I tell you when you should do it!

In bed!

Yep, when you wake up in the morning, don't jump straight out of bed and hurry on to the bathroom (unless you are desperate, of course!). Give yourself a minute or two and stretch! Stretch your legs while you're still laying down along with your back and neck, feet and toes give them all a good, pleasurable stretch! Then slowly sit up and stretch your arms above your head. Make sure you stretch your legs again then you can get up!

But before you rush off, while standing stretch again - arms out in front and then upwards toward the ceiling. Rise up onto the balls of your feet and stretch your legs again. Feel the muscles stretching nicely, then go back down so your feet are flat on the floor. Bend each knee forwards so you can feel your thighs stretch and also your calf muscles as well as the backs of your thighs and then you're ready to face your day with more supple muscles than before.

Do this every day for a truly marvelous alternative health kick and after a few days you'll notice the difference in feeling more energetic in the mornings. Add this to your other weight loss programs such as weight diet and exercise and you'll find its great for taking the dogs out for their morning walk full of beans and feeling really good!

Did anyone ever say losing weight had to be hard?

Well these great tips are designed to be anything but!

Enjoy!

Weight Loss Top Tips #2

2008-08-18T20:39:00.007+02:00

With weight loss tips coming hard and fast, I want to follow on from my last hard hitting post, where I really beat up the TV slobs (my being an ex-TV slob gives me the right!), its time to turn on to what you can do to start to lose weight without resorting to anything that is not nice to do.

What?

Yep, after being so tough in my last post, now I'm turning mega-soft on you. That's because I am as well aware as anyone that if you are going to be forced to do things in order to lose some weight, then you're going to resist doing them!

That's why so many diets and exercise regimes fail people. Its simple human nature. People in general don't like doing anything they don't like doing! If that sounds simplistic, then it is exactly that. To get someone to do anything, you have to make it something they want to do.

So when it comes to losing weight, the very best way to get started is to find something that you enjoy doing or something that you think you would enjoy doing. To do this, it boils down to individual likes and dislikes. That's because not everyone is the same and we don't all like doing the same things.

Some of us need a good weight loss plan now, while those who live to diet in Chicago are going to get a better deal.

So what I plan to do with this blog is to give you some examples of simple things you can do. If you like the sound of any of them, then do them! Simple!

So the second of my weight loss tips is one I enjoy doing on a twice daily basis. And that's walking my dogs.

Walking dogs is a therapeutic exercise for me as it gives me some quality thinking time while I spend time with the little guys and its an amusing time as well watching some of the antics they get up to as we walk around the streets and open space in the neighbourhood where I live.

From an exercise standpoint I get some additional fat boosting work because I live in a hilly area which makes me walk up and down hills. That makes my body work harder especially uphill and makes me breathe harder, raises my heart rate and makes me sweat.

These are the three things you need to aim for when you do any simple exercise if you want to start burning off that excess flab!

Breathing harder
Elevated heart rate
Sweating

If you can get these three things happening when you're doing your stuff for a prolonged period of time - and that is more than 20 minutes by the way, then you'll start the process of losing weight.

So that's it for now with the second of my tips and its a pretty enjoyable one - if you have a dog or dogs, that is. Until next time.

Weight Loss Top Tips #1

2008-07-24T22:28:00.002+02:00

Following on from the introductory post here at Weight Loss Tips that was entitled simply: "Weight Loss Top Tips", its now time to set to work and set out the first of my truly mind blowing, yet obviously simple common sense means and ways of losing weight.

You may not like what this one is going to be, but if you're serious about wanting to lose some weight, then this is the first step.

Switch off the television!

I'm not joking, either. You would not believe the amount of a person's day that is wasted sitting in front of the TV! If this is you, then when would NOW be the best time to do something about it?

We only get one life and yet so many of us just waste a huge proportion of that life vegetating in front of the television. While we're sitting motionless watching whatever piece of crap is showing (and let's be brutally honest here, most of what you watch on the TV is pure, unadulterated crap), you are not burning off any of that excess weight. In fact, by spending so much time in a state of non-motion, your body is slowing its own metabolic rate down to match your level of motion, so that anything you eat will be metabolised that much slower.

And guess where all that very slowly metabolised food ends up? Stuck in your colon and gradually being converted into the stuff that fills up the body's fat cells.

Only the problem is much worse than you think. Most people eat when the clock says so and not when the body actually needs more food, so while you're body is still halfway through metabolising that last onslaught of fodder, you're starting to cram more food down your gullet that your body has no chance to process before the next food attack!

Think that this is a good way to treat your body?

I don't.

The first step towards even beginning down that road of weight loss is to get your body moving. Eating less will not help you. No diet will unless you get your metabolism moving like it should be and not slothfully as it does when you spend too much time in a state of catatonia.

So get up out of your chair and switch the damn TV off and get yourself moving! Go for a walk, go take the stairs two at a time, go play with your kids in the park (if you can pry them away from their Playstations) or if you have a dog take it for several walks a day and make 'em long ones!

Even doing daily chores like housework will get your muscles moving and force some blood around your body! If you live in a city, get out of it and breath some fresh air for a change. If you can't do that, then at least go and spend some time in your local park where there are some trees that will provide you with some more oxygen than your stuffy TV room ever did!

Ok, that's enough beating you up. I'm only being so hard because I had to be hard on myself to do the things I just described.

Yep, I was one of those TV slobs too and I was letting my life pass me by while watching more crap on the TV than I can remember! I did it - I got up off my lazy behind and switched the damn thing off. Then I started to live my life again! You can too.
