When we think about losing weight we almost always think diet.
The we start looking at all the new diets in hopes that one of these will finally help us lose the weight that we have lost and gained over and over again.

Now if we continually go on diets that apparently don’t work ( or at least don’t work long term) why do we keep going back to them?
It has a lot to do with hearing about a celebrity and their incredible weight loss and what diet they went on. What they don’t tell you is that during this time they were working with a personal trainer and it was the exercise and diet combination that helped with the weight loss not just the diet.

Why don’t they ever mention the exercise?
It’s not glamorous. A new diet can sound fancy and unique but exercise for weight loss is just exercise.

With exercise you have to work, spend some time and you’ll sweat. It’s sounds so much easier just to follow a diet than it is to do a kettlebell workout or hit a Zumba class or follow an exercise DVD.

However, it is the exercise that will give you the long term weight loss!
When you exercise you naturally boost your metabolism burning more calories both while you are working out and also for many hours afterwards.
Exercise also helps you to regulate insulin levels in your body and if your levels are not regulated your blood sugar can spike or crash. The rise can add belly fat and possibly have the onset of diabetes and the crash can make you feel shaky, nervous, sick to your stomach and you could possibly pass out. Both end of the spectrum are not healthy.  Exercise can help with these.

Exercise for weight loss can also help you stand and sit in better posture and having good posture is said to give the look of possibly losing 10 pounds. So here you go – a possibly look of a 10 pound loss just by a posture change.

Exercising for weight loss can also help you sleep better at night and those who get at least 7 hours sleep weigh on average lass than those who get less. Now you would think that it would be the opposite way around but it’s not.

As you can see by adding in exercise to your day can make a huge difference in your weight loss.
But what kind of exercise?
Some say walking while others say resistance exercise, some say cardio and others say weight training.
It is not the type of exercise that matters but that you are exercising.

Don’t have time to do 30 or 45 minutes at one time?
You probably do you just don’t think you do. But anyway, if you think you don’t get up and move around more.
Do you watch television? If so what is stopping you from getting up and moving around while your tv show is on.
What do you do while you have something in the microwave? Sure it’s only a few minutes, but remember that every few minutes helps.

Think about your day. Then for a few days check to see how much time you really do have to exercise.
You will find that you probably have a lot more than you think.

The get up and exercise for weight loss!

You don’t need to compromise your complexion to get the beach body you’ve always wanted – you can lose weight AND wrinkles with this easy eating plan.

#1  SPICE UP YOUR LIFE
Sprinkle, chop, grate and grind at least three herbs and spices on to every meal. You are not only adding extra flavor but also a range of different skin and brain-friendly antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. Herbs have medicinal powers as well. It is a way of upgrading your nutrient intake without supplements. Some spices also increase your metabolism, and make you feel fuller and more satisfied.

#2  SNACK ON YOGURT
The low fat (not fat free) variety, not the sugar-filled creamy kind. You can add a teaspoon of sugar-free jam or honey or a teaspoon of cinnamon. High in protein and calcium, low fat yoghurt may also help to burn fat.

#3  EAT FISH EVERY DAY
Because you only want to eat quality protein, try to eat fish every day as well as lots of chicken, eggs and low-fat diary products. Lean cuts of red meats are fine once a week. Fish that are high in beneficial omega fats – especially salmon and mackerel – can be eaten up to four times a week.

#4  MAKE SUGAR YOUR ENEMY
Keeping your blood-sugar level is important for controlling food cravings. Sugar is also aging for your skin. That means eliminating sugar in its many forms. Sugar cans even be found in supposedly healthy snack bars and breakfast cereals.

#5  FEEL FULLER WITH FIBER
High fiber foods are good for keeping blood sugar balanced and helping you feel full. Go for whole grains, such as brown rice and oatmeal, as well as lots of greens, root vegetables, peas, beans and lentils, seeds and nuts.

#6  DRINK WATER
Try to drink around 6-8 glasses  of water every day.
You can also get water from fruit and vegetables: apples, broccoli, grapes, lettuce, peaches and tomatoes are all around 80-90 per cent fluid. If you are hungry between meals have an 8 ounce glass of room-temperature water with lemon or a cup of tea. Wait 20 minutes.
If you are still hungry have an apple.

#7  MEASURE YOUR PLATE
No more than a third of your plate should be animal based (ie protein, like chicken, fish, eggs and meat). the remaining two thirds should be made up of either two or more different vegetables plus healthy whole grains such as lentils, brown rice or pasta.

If you try to follow these seven simple rules not only will you notice a difference in your weight and appearance but you will feel a whole lot better in yourself.

Eat less … lose weight?!?  – That’s one way but here are 16 tips that make more sense.

1)  Don’t diet to extremes. Reducing calories by 15-20% a day will almost exclusively burn fat while larger cuts in calories will burn a combo of muscle tissue and fat. Muscle drives the metabolism – calorie burning. If you’re currently eating 3000 calories, reduce to 2400-2550, but do so according to smart guidelines like those laid out in The Living Health Weight Loss Audio.

2)  Graze all day. Professional athletes and models eat all day long yet keep their total calories under control. The grazing method, 5-6 small meals, elevates the metabolism. Each time you eat, the metabolism increases, and over a 6-10 week period, that increase can parlay into another 2-3 pounds of fat loss.

3)  Increase Protein. Carbs, protein and fat – are equal in their efficiency to be stored as body fat, but protein exerts a greater metabolic boosting effect than carbs or dietary fat. When calories drop, protein saves muscle which helps keep the metabolism elevated. Aim for 1.2 grams per pound of bodyweight daily.

4)  Play with Carbs. Carbs help retain metabolic boosting muscle yet they can stimulate fat storage. Following a modified low carb diet – staggering your carbohydrate intake is one of the most effective ways to jump start your
metabolism and to burn stubborn fat fast (as outlined in Maximize Your Metabolism and the Living Health Audio Program.)

5)  Go Backward. One reason fat loss comes to a halt; the body downgrades its metabolism to meet its dwindling intake of calories. The solution: dramatically increase your calorie intake once every 2-3 weeks. The one day splurge “re-sets” the metabolism by restoring thyroid levels, the calorie burning hormone that declines with dieting.

6)  Skip the Late Night Carbs. Carbs eaten before bedtime are more likely to be stored as body fat so focus on lean proteins and fiber based vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower and salad fixings. The lone exception: if you train late at night and your goal is to build muscle mass, you’ll need the carbs to replenish glycogen and support growth.

7)  Go Fish. When calories are controlled, the inclusion of omega-3 fatty acids found in salmon, trout and sardines may promote speedier fat loss. One study revealed dieters who ate fish on a daily basis lost more weight than those who ate fish just once a week (Am Journ Clin Nutr 70:817-825, 1999)

8)  Go Spicy. Red peppers, the spicy ingredient in Mexican and Indian dishes contains Capsaicin which can increase the metabolic rate by effecting the Sympathetic Branch of the Nervous system. Spiking your chicken dishes with red might be a small benefit or you can gulp 5 to 10 encapsulated grams of Capsaicin from your local health food store. (Journal of Nutrition 116:1272-1278, 1986.)

9)  Don’t Be Cardio Crazy! Radically reducing calories slows the metabolism short circuiting fat loss. Same is true with radical caloric expenditure. You know: 2 cardio sessions a day. Excess cardio slows the metabolism, promotes a loss in muscle and even can lower testosterone levels. For real results, stick to 4-6 sessions a week, 30 – 45 minutes at a clip and maintain a high level of intensity.

10)  Separate Cardio From Weight Training. What happens when you do cardio first and follow it up with weight training? You don’t build as much muscle density. How about cardio after training? You risk overtraining and the negative hormonal milieu that can stifle the metabolic rate. The best scenario; hit the cardio in the morning – on an empty stomach – get in a few meals and return to the gym later in the day to build muscle density.

11)  Serotonin Control. Serotonin is a brain chemical that helps controls hunger. Guess what? It can take a nose dive with dieting. ( R.J. Wurtman and J.J. Wurtman, “Brain serotonin, carbohydrate-craving, obesity, and depression.” Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology 398 (1996): 35-41.) One way to prevent a drop; smaller, more frequent meals.

12)  Garlic Chicken! Mother Earth’s flavor enhancer stimulates adrenaline and uncoupling proteins (UCP). Adrenaline triggers fat breakdown and UCP, located in metabolically active “brown fat”, increase calorie burning. Garlic also controls cortisol levels which can supports muscle retention while dieting.

For best results use fresh raw garlic in your salads or on your other meals, but if you can’t handle raw garlic then use fresh bulbs in you cooking or give supplements a try. (Oi Y, et al., Allyl-containing sulfides in garlic increase uncoupling protein content in brown adipose tissue, and noradenaline and adrenaline secretion in rats. J Nutr 129:336-342,1999.) (Wang HX, Et al., Natural products with hypoglycemic, hypotensive, hypocholesterolemic, antiatherosclerotic and antithrombotic activities. Life Sci 65:2663-2677,1999.)

13)  Sip Green Tea. Green tea contains caffeine and polyphenols called epilgallocatechin gallate which have been shown to increase calorie burning. These special calorie burning compounds help burn an extra 100 or-so calories a day, about equal to a brisk walk. In maximizing fat loss, every calorie counts. (Dullo, A.G., et al., Efficiency of a green tea extract rich in catechin polyphenols and caffeine in increasing 24-h energy expenditure and fat oxidation in humans. Am J Clin Nutr, 1999. 70(6):p.1040-5.)

14)  Fat? Yes Fat! To rip up, you have to eat fewer carbs, but on occasion – say once a week – you can add a little healthy fat, 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil, some red meat, walnuts or cashews. The reason? Dietary fat can make the body more effective in using and burning fat – as long as calories and carbs remain under control. (Thomas CD et al. Nutrient Balance and Energy Expenditure During the Ad Libitum Feeding of High Fat and High Carbohydrate Diets in Humans. Am J Clin Nutr 1992;55:934)

15)  Thyroid Support. Irony of Ironies. When you eat less and try to dump body fat, a lot of times the metabolism adapts and burns quite a bit fewer calories. One way to get around the slowdown is with phosphates. A combo of 537 mgs of calcium phosphate, 107 mgs of potassium phosphate and 25 mgs of sodium phosphate given to strict dieters yielded a 12-19% more elevated metabolism than dieters who did not use phosphates.

16)  Write It Down. This one seems simple, but it’s one of the most overlooked tips in shedding fat. Dieters who record what they eat, meal by meal, day by day, not only make better choices, but cheat less and eat fewer total calories. Writing it down “keeps you honest” and is a tool for reminding you that getting lean is a day by day process.

Some of these supplements work by decreasing your appetite, while others work by increasing the number of calories that your body burns.
