Tips to Stick To Your Diet


It has happened to all of us at some point or another: we were doing so well with our weight loss diet or exercise regime. Then suddenly we fell off the horse and decided that if we had already gone this far we might as well give up entirely.

There's an old Chinese tale about a father and his son who lived on a farm. Together they raised sheep and cared for them. They lived off of these sheep and were able to make money from the sheep's fur. Every day both the father and the son walked around the field where they were raising the sheep to check that the fence was in good order. One night, the fence broke and some wolves sneaked into the field and ate some of the sheep.

The son cried out to his father saying that all was lost and that they were now ruined! But the father simply picked up his tools and took his son to the fence to patch it up. Once the fence had been fixed, the father told his son that just because there was a weakness in the fence it does not mean that it cannot be fixed nor that it is impossible for them to keep raising sheep.

Your diet or exercise regime is like sheep, it is always at risk of violated or destroyed. The fence represents your will power and your circumstances. It might happen that you're too busy to go to the gym or go jogging every morning for a period of time. It might happen that you were forced to stop at a fast food joint on the side of the high way. It might happen that you cave in to eating some chips, some chocolate, or any one of your other cravings. But that doesn't mean you should give up and let your sheep continue to be eaten by wolves. After you've stuffed yourself with what you know to be unhealthy food: stop and think about it. It's not the end of the world.

If you go end up on a binge of food, you don't need to eat more bad food to "get it out of your system", to feel better or to make sure it never happens again. You will be faced with times where you want to eat something unhealthy, or you want to sleep in and skip your step class. No problem, but don't let that one incident ruin your motivation or your commitment to your diet or exercise regime. It happens to everyone, but if you're one of the people who is able to pick yourself up and fix the fence you'll be able to keep losing weight and get healthier.

I hope this story has helped you to understand that not all is lost if your resolve waivers for a day or a week, or what have you. You are the boss of yourself and you can chose to return to eating healthy foods and working out on a regular basis without any fear. Trust in yourself and make sure you keep your eyes focused on the goal since that's what keeps us all motivated.
I know that it is extremely difficult to stick to an exercise regimen and diet doing the holidays but you can accomplish this feat with the help of this amazing  eBook Cheat Your Wat Thin.  Check it out Here!

Yoga Moves For A Fat Burning Workout

Yoga is often praised in the mass media as the new fitness-craze promising weight loss, and increased strength and flexibility. However, when one sees a yoga practitioner curled up in a seemingly impossible pose, the natural tendency is to think: “Well this person has been practicing for years, how can Yoga help me lose the weight now?”
Through the acclaimed Sun Salutations, that’s how.  What are They/
 
These exercises are a combination of Yoga Poses, Breathing Exercises, Sun Bathing and Prayer. They have been practiced for centuries by Yoga Practitioners in India, Martial Artists and African Wrestlers and as a system to rejuvenate the body and soul are beyond compare. It’s been said in the Drugless Healing circles that one round of the Sun Salutations is much better than a week of exercises at the gym!

They are very simple to learn and just about anyone, regardless of their fitness or flexibility levels can learn these simple exercises. In actuality, if you are familiar with “burpies” (the calisthenics exercise), they do derive their origin from the Sun Salutations.

Here are some of their benefits:

-They alleviate disorders of the skin and waist.

-Flexibility increases and breathing is corrected, moreover, they mildly exercise the legs and arms, thus increasing the circulation.

-They are the best way to burn calories and reduce weight and are often recommended for obesity and depression.

-They are an effective way of loosening up, stretching and massaging all joints and internal organs of the body.

-They stimulate and balance all the systems of the body including the endocrine, circulatory, reproductive and digestive system.                                                                          

Here is The Technique:                                              

1. Stand straight with the palms together as in a prayer position.

2. Inhale and stretch the arms above the head.

3. Exhale and bend forward while touching the toes.

4. Inhale and stretch the right leg away from the body in a big backward step and keep the hands and left foot firmly on the ground. Bending the head backward the left knee should be between the hands.

5. Inhale and hold the breath. Move the left leg from the body and, keeping both feet together and the knees of the floor, rest on the hands (arms straight) and keep the body in a straight line from head to foot.

6. Exhale and lower the body to the floor. In this position, only 8 portions of the body come in contact with the floor: the two feet, two knees, two hands, chest and forehead.

7. Inhale and bend back as much as possible bending the spine to the maximum.

8. Exhale and lift the body of the floor. Keep the feet and heels on the floor.

9. Inhale and bring the right foot along the level of the hands; left foot and knee should touch the ground. Look up, bending the spine slightly (same position as #4)

10. Exhale and bring the left leg forward. Keep the knees straight and bring the head down to the knees as in the third position.

11. Raise arms overhead and bend backward inhaling. As in Position 2.

12. Exhale and drop the arms and relax.

You have now completed one round. Perform as many rounds as possible in multiples of 3. Ideally you want to aim for 6 rounds minimum and up to a maximum of 30. It only takes about 5-10 minutes, depending on your speed and intensity and is best practiced with as little clothing as possible before an open air window first thing in the morning.

With a sensible diet and a wise combination of these exercises-and a good fat burning workout  fitness regimen you ca be well on your way to attaining natural weight loss, increased strength and overall fitness with the help of yoga.  Yoga is for everyone and can help you lose weight.

How Do You Measure Your Fat Loss Progress?


Do you know how to properly judge your fat loss or fat burning workout progress from a particular exercise or nutrition regimen?  If you are not playing this game you are probably not going to be very successful.  It’s just like in sports…it is the score that determines who wins the game.  In our fat loss and fitness efforts, you want to know your body’s score to determine if you are winning the game.  So, how can I get the score?

Instinctively many dieters watch the scale carefully when measuring if they did or did not burn fat.  Although the scale is a useful tool, far too many people stop doing the right things (like proper weight training) just because the scale says they have gained a pound or two

Why Not To Use A Scale

1).Your body will sometimes fluctuate by a few pounds daily.  This does not mean that you have gained weight or burned fat.  If the scale is the tool you are using to measure in this instance you will get an incorrect score.

2). It is a fact that muscles weigh more than fat.  By adding lean muscle to your body your weight increases.  Assuming you are not gaining fat weight, this is a good thing.  Always keep in mind it is not about weight loss but fat loss.  Can you see why using a scale will give you the wrong results? 

3).More muscle means more calories devoted to building that muscle and keeping it alive.  Resultantly your metabolism will become faster and more efficient at burning fat.  Watch as that number on the scale drops.                                                                                                                                 
Measuring Progress
The body fat percentage is how much of your total weight is made up of body fat.  This is the best indicator for measuring progress.   For most men it is within the 12-15% range and most women will be satisfied with a fat percentage of around 16-20.  
Measuring Tools                                                                                                                                                                                    
1). A skin caliper or any other comparable measurement devise to help keep track of your relative body fat percentage is recommended.  If this measurement is going down, congratulations!  You are on the right tract.  Just keep doing what you are doing, and do not even look at that scale!

2).Another tool to judge your fat loss progress is the mirror in your bathroom.  This may sound simple, but use the mirror to judge your fat loss and muscle gain.   You will be motivated and confident seeing your body change right before your eyes.  When combining the liberal use of your scale with keeping tabs on your body fat percentage your mirror will provide all you will need to judge your progress.                                                                                                       

3).Creating realistic expectations for your new body is an important aspect of judging your fat loss progress.  We all have our own inherited physical characteristics.  Some of us carry more fat cells in our hips and thighs while others have more muscle fibers in legs and arms.   Just liberate yourself from the chains of your genetic makeup.  Embrace the thought that you have the power to reshape and transform your physical attributes. 

With the right combination of knowledge and proper habits you can burn fat fast.  You can make such improvements in your body that almost everyone you know will go wow!  More importantly, you’ll feel great knowing you’ve done all you can to live the rest of your life with the body you’re truly capable of.  This is such an awesome and empowering feeling.
If you are still undecided on the right fat burning workout program to incorporate in your life style take a look at the Fat Burning Furnace.  You can check it out here!

2 REAL Fat Burning Secrets From the Kitchen Cabinet:


The kitchen cabinet would seem the most unlikely place to find help in your battle against losing weight.  You might be surprised to find that it is home to some of nature’s most powerful tools for helping in your quest to lose weight.  Let me introduce you to 2 natural "slimming secrets" that can immediately increase your calorie-burning rate.  This is the first and most critical step toward achieving a negative fat balance and fitting into your swimsuit properly.
 
 Here are the Secrets:

Secret #1:  GREEN TEA:                                           

 The key to sustained weight loss is to lose weight slowly so that you are burning fat and not muscle. Research has shown that using green tea in weight loss promotes the burning of fat so that your muscles can stay strong. Another factor to consider is that you do not want water loss from your body. If you do that it will simply return the minute you stop the diet and exercise. That is why so much emphasis is placed on having an effective fat burning workout program in place.

Benefits

--Research has shown that using green tea in our weight loss program can be very effective in our quest to lose fat.     

--It helps your body to regulate its blood sugar levels which then helps to reduce those food cravings that everyone gets while dieting.

--Green tea will help to boost your metabolism making it easier for your body to burn fat             

--Helps to prevent your body from absorbing fat from the foods you are eating.
  
Secret #2: CINNAMON

Cinnamon often serves as a flavorful addition to carbohydrate-rich meals. How great is it, then, to learn that it may help “push” more of those carbohydrates into lean muscle and away from fat cells.   Most of the carbohydrate calories you eat are eventually converted into glucose or blood sugar.  The hormone insulin helps direct glucose into your body’s cells, including muscle cells. The more sensitive your muscle cells are to insulin, the more efficiently they can scoop up glucose and store it for later use, such as providing your muscles with energy during exercise. All other things held constant, this leaves less glucose available for your fat cells, which might otherwise use it to make body fat.

Benefits.

Of the many plants studied to date, cinnamon has been reported to be among the most powerful in terms of its ability to enhance insulin sensitivity and keep blood glucose levels in check. When added to a carbohydrate-rich meal, it reduces the rise in blood glucose normally experienced afterward.  While the effects on insulin sensitivity may take a couple of weeks to manifest, the improvements in blood glucose control appear virtually immediately.


Complement Your Fat Burning Workout Routine

Purchase from the health food store
1 teaspoon raw honey
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon(no sugar added)
Combine  honey and cinnamon powder with 1cup water and bring to boil.
Cool mixture for several minutes
Separate in two equal servings
Take one serving 1/2 hour before breakfast
Take the second portion before going to bed at nights
If you follow up with an effective fat burning workout routine drinking  adequate amount of water(8 glasses recommended) and watch the fat roll away .

Thanksgiving Dinner Without Pounds

Thanksgiving does not have to come with extra pounds.  You do not have to torture and or deprive yourself or sacrifice your taste by watching what you eat to enjoy a sumptuous Thanksgiving meal.  It is true that this holiday dinner contains a large amount of calories.  Just keep this thought in the back of your head.  “One day of fasting will not make you lose a lot of weight, so one night of a little indulgence will not ruin your long term weight loss efforts”So go ahead!  Eat as much as you want of whatever you want.  No need to eat yourself sick, of course.  Oh!  Do not worry -you will not set your weight loss goals back.

Maintaining your weight during the holiday season is probably more practical than trying to lose some extra pounds.  Your body's fat burning hormones are highest after a big meal.  In fact, gorging yourself once in a while, as long as it is done in MODERATION can actually speed up your metabolism for several days.  So just dig in and enjoy!   The responsible thing to do for the next day or two after the holiday is just continue focusing on whatever fat burning program that you have implemented in your routine and you will be fine.                                                                                                                                   
 Leave The Pounds On Your Plate

Portion control is one of the most important components in maintaining your weight during the holidays. This allows you to eat all the enjoyable foods.  If you are serious about burning fat to lose weight you should be on a routine of eating small quantities every 3 hours on a daily basis.  Thanksgiving Day should be no exception to this rule.  The good thing about this practice is that when dinner time rolls around you are not going to be very hungry.              

The first order of business is to get rid of the giant dinner plate if you can do so graciously.  Choose smaller portions but include a balance of protein, fat, vegetables and fiber. (Each food group should be equal in portion on your plate and a portion size should be the same size as your clenched fist).  Drinking a couple of ice cold glasses of water with your meal can be very helpful to burning body fat.  Your body will burn about 100 calories just by raising the water to body temperature. You will also reap the added benefits of feeling fuller while getting your body flushed of toxins.

Food Choices 

Start off with a small bowl of soup before the main course.  This will help to stimulate the digestive juices.  Just check to make sure that it is not fatty. 
Next have a big serving of salad.  Do not skimp here.  Eating lots of vegetables before the main course will help you curb the amount of food you will intake.  If you must have  salad dressing use low calorie preferably one that is vinegar based. 

Here comes the main course.  Have loads of turkey without the skin.  Enjoy a sample of everything, but  just do it in moderation.  By the way skip the gravy remember your ultimate goal is to lose the fat.  

Desert anyone?  You can say yes.  Choose a very small piece of cake or pie but eat slowly so you can savor the taste.

Continue To “Say No!” To Diets That Burn Fat- Part 2


In part one of this article, I discussed how avoiding a fad diet is one of the best things you can do for your long term health and fitness success, especially if you want to burn fat.  In this part, you will see how you can start to transition from your current lifestyle to one that translates into creating a lean, strong body and long lasting health.

A healthy balance of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats in your diet is essential to keep your metabolism firing on all cylinders and constantly burning fat.  Complex Carbs (whole grains, breads, cereals, etc.) are vital to maintaining your energy level throughout the day and do a host of other things within your body including keeping you feeling full.  Fruits because of their high fiber content and slow absorption into the blood stream keep our insulin level in check.  This is important for less fat storage and an increased chance of burning stored fat.

Simple carbs or sugars (candy, soda pop, white processed baked goods, etc) are to be avoided like the plague and kept to a minimum.  These foods provide little nutritional value.  In fact, insulin which regulates the blood sugar level will take the excess sugar and store it as fat.  The best way to avoid this is by eating sensible amounts of complex carbohydrates instead.

Proteins (lean meats, fish, poultry, soy, beans and legumes, etc.) are the building blocks of the body.  They are essential for building lean muscles important to maintaining the cellular structures and vital if you want to burn fat fast .                                  
When choosing your protein source include a balance of animal and plant based protein. Plant based proteins contain more fiber essential in your ability to burn fat.  Include properly performed resistance exercises from the Fat Burning Furnace to burn fat and to foster lean muscle growth.   

Fats (found in many proteins, nuts, oils, etc.) are essential to maintain certain bodily processes like hair, nail, and skin regeneration.  If you focus on lean protein choices in your meals, including small amounts of healthy oils, nuts, and seeds in your diet, you will get your required intake of fat..

Eating smaller more frequent meals throughout the day is the fastest way to fat loss.  It fires up your metabolism.  Every time you eat the metabolism kicks it up a notch.  Try and eat 5-6 smaller meals per day about 3 hours apart.   Include as many green veggies as you can eat.  They are super low in calories and provide vitamins, minerals, enzymes and more fiber to aid in digestion.  Remember, focus on nutrient rich foods and you’ll find that burning fat and getting healthy will seem like a natural.

Eating to have a lean, strong, and healthy body isn’t so difficult.  You do not have to eliminate essential foods like complex carbohydrates from your diet. Focus on foods your body craves naturally instead. The rest of the details will be easy to implement into your lifestyle.  Soon you will start to burn fat faster and be well on the road to a have that healthier, sexier and slimmer bikini body.

Part 1 - “The Reason You Should Say No!” To Fat Burning Diets

All fad diets have one thing in common.  They’re diets.  They cannot weather the storm and after a couple a years they are gone.  When the fitness professionals think we are ready to eat them up again….no pun intended… they return riding a new wave.  If you are serious about burning fat, you really should avoid these things like the plague.
Realistically many of these diets will provide some initial weight loss and fat loss but you could also lose some muscles.  Losing muscles can spell disaster to your fat burning effort however that is not the biggest problem.  The biggest problem with these diets is that most people who follow outlandish diets gain back the fat they have lost, and then some! 

The Reasons Most Diets Fail

Too much focus is placed on one type of food, which can lead to unhealthy eating habits.
Diets are no fun and too strict to be realistically followed.  Any diet that cannot be followed as a lifestyle will not burn fat in the long run.

People who are regular dieters don't burn fat over the long haul.
Diets are temporary mindset.  Once the motivation to stay on the diet is gone not only do you regain the weight you lost but you also gain a few pound more. 
 
The Solution                                          

Your body naturally craves foods rich in nutrients (antioxidants, phytonutrients, fiber, vitamins, minerals, etc.)  When you eat most of your meals from foods rich in these important nutrients, your body will be satisfied and overeating won’t be much of a problem.  Most importantly by promoting a natural alkaline environment in your body you will be lowering your risk for contracting diseases.  So, if your aim is to get a life-long fat burning health and fitness in a lean body, incorporate your weight loss plan with a fat burning workout system to embrace long lasting results.

Useful Tips

Always have a daily balanced offering from the different food groups.  Incorporate servings of fiber and vegetables in your diet especially the green leafy vegetables.                                     

Limit sugary stuff and other junk.  You do not have to totally eliminate it just make it a special treat occasionally.                                    

Remember the importance water plays in burning fat-rule of thumb 8 glasses daily.
You then begin to burn fat as a natural result of giving your body what it thrives on. 

Focus on foods rich in nutrients.  Part two of this article, there will be more specific in helping you make the transition from your current lifestyle to the one you desire.  One where your body seemingly burns fat 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with little effort.

Rob Poulos is a celebrated fitness author, fat loss expert, and the founder and CEO of Zero to Hero Fitness.  Rob created the world's most efficient method for fast and permanent fat loss with his "Fat Burning Furnace" system to help those looking to put an end to restrictive fad diets, long boring cardio workouts, and the need for super-human willpower for good.

5 Diets Truths That You Should Know About




It's overwhelming and confusing just trying to choose a weight loss system that works.  You’ve tried them all!  Powders... pills... potions...cook books…point system... exotic teas...bungee machines... ab zappers... Cardio DVDs...The list goes on and on.  You are still carrying around the extra weight and still craving the body that that is trimmed toned sexy and strong.
One big reason you still do not have the body you crave and truly deserve is because most of the information that you have heard about dieting to lose weight up till now is dead wrong. You are still overweight because the information you've been relying on is bad information.
So... let's set you straight ...
Here Is The Truth
1).The plain fact is fat is what you need to lose...not weight!  The weight you might actually lose on most fad diets, is mostly water...not fat.  This is not making you healthier...You are just getting dangerously dehydrated!

2).Going on a low carb diet robs your body of energy and will not make you lose fat in the long run.  Low fat diets are worst, piling on even more fat.  The only way to drop the fat is by eating the right foods... in the right amounts... and at the right time. Sounds complicated, I know... but it's really simple!
 
3).Cardio exercises can be long and boring...exercising four or even six times per week is the worst way to burn fat.  Here is a little secret, it is possible to burn five times the belly fat exercising just 45 minutes per week.  Not per day...Yes!  I did say per week. 
 
4).We have all seen the ads for those Celebrity-endorsed boxed food diets.  These diets are expensive and slow. You have to keep paying for months!  Plus... the ads skip over the part about you still having to buy your own vegetables!  That's hundred$ more each month!
 
5). Restrictive dieting (AKA starving oneself) is stupid and dangerous and doesn't really work!  Why go to bed hungry when there's a delicious way to “tickle your system” into burning fat all night long... while you sleep the night away? 

What do you need to do to finally look and feel healthy, sexy and in control?
