Craig Ballantyne asked:
You do exactly what the experts say. You cut calories and you exercise. You’ve made your “calories out” greater than your “calories in”. So you should be losing fat, right?
But if you aren’t losing weight, perhaps you’re still not paying attention to an often forgotten factor of weight loss – your metabolism. Your metabolism is a measure of how many calories you are burning each day.
Did you know that the food, exercise, and lifestyle choices you make every day have a significant impact on your metabolism?
For example, if you starve yourself instead of following a sensible weight-loss eating plan your metabolism will slow down. If your metabolism slows down, it means your calories out will be less. And that means no more weight loss, and possibly even fat gain.
So for every day that you continue to slow your metabolism with unhealthy lifestyle choices, you get further and further away from your weight loss goals. Here’s how you can maximize your metabolism and reach your weight loss goals quickly and easily.
Here Are My Top 10 Ways to Maximize Your Metabolism, Burn Calories & Finally Lose Your Unwanted Weight:
1. Don’t starve yourself. Cutting calories too much is one of the worst things you can do to your body. Starving yourself actually causes you to lose much more water weight and muscle than fat.
2. Eat 6-8 small meals per day with an emphasis on lean proteins, fruits, and vegetables. To lose fat and unwanted weight effective you must have a nutrition plan. So spend a couple hours on a day off preparing as much food as you can for the upcoming week.
3. Eat breakfast. You should make this meal part of your daily metabolism-boosting plan. At the very least, eat a lean protein, drink Green Tea, and consume a fiber-rich fruit to get your fat loss day started right.
4. Eat healthy fats. Sources of healthy fats included nuts, fish, olive oil, and flax oil. Replace processed carbohydrates in your diet with almonds. For example, if you currently eat a small bag of pretzels as a mid-afternoon snack, eat almonds instead.
5. Eat high quality foods that will help you control your blood sugar, insulin, and energy levels. This will help you lose fat and prevent you from gaining unwanted weight.
6. Eat up to 1g of protein per pound bodyweight to a maximum of 150 grams per day for a woman or 200 grams per day for a man.
7. Don’t drink alcohol. Alcohol prevents fat burning and will quickly add hundreds of calories. Alcohol intake can also reduce testosterone levels, a big no-no for men looking to get lean.
8. Drink Green Tea and water. This will prevent your metabolism from slowing down. Not too mention, these are your 2 healthiest beverage options.
9. Stick to a consistent sleep schedule. If possible, avoid working afternoon and overnight shifts. And, don’t stay up late watching television.
10. Use the Turbulence Training strength and interval workout principles for the most efficient and effective metabolism-boosting workout. This means strength training with free weights and bodyweight exercises and performing shorter interval training workouts rather than long, slow boring cardio.
Bonus Fat & Weight Loss Tip:
Recently both my clients and myself have been experimenting with an additional mini-workout added to our regular Turbulence Training fat loss program. By completing a bodyweight circuit (10-20 minutes per day), we’ve discovered that we boost our metabolism again and increase our fat loss results.
So if you do your regular workout in the morning, add a bodyweight circuit after dinner. On the other hand, if you workout in the afternoon, do a bodyweight circuit first thing in the morning.
If your metabolism has slowed down due to improper dieting or lifestyle, then the Turbulence Training Lifestyle will help you get back on track to lose fat and gain muscle. Once you correct your metabolism, you will be on the road to losing fat for good.

Charles Nash asked:
I wanted to take the time to talk to you about a new blinking fasting weight beating diet. It is a very new type of eating that can help you lose weight. It isn’t to the status of the next big thing in diets, but with the amazing study that recently came out, it should be there within the next 6 months. The study showed that people ended up eating the same amount food and actually lost weight. It also found that these people had improved health and were believed to live longer. There are a lot of skeptic when it comes to this, so I thought I’d do an exploration to learn more.
All that an intermittent fasting weight loss diet consists of is an eating pattern, rather than the food you end up eating. For a full 24hr period, you can eat anything you want, no matter how fattening, as much as you want. The next 24hr period, you’re on a fast and can only have the basics like water. This simple cycle repeats. To those that think that you’re actually starving yourself, you end up eating the same amount of calories during your 24hr period of eating, that you normally eat over a 2 day period.
When I look at protection of the body, I usually look for natural. It is natural for the human animal to eat three meals a day, everyday? Probably not. If you look at the caveman’s eating patterns, it would of consisted of something similar to alternating fasting. A big animal is caught and there would be a feast, but other days not anything would be caught and they’d eat not anything.

Weight Loss Diet

Nathalie Fiset asked:
Women had always been conscious of their weight. The trend for some had been to look pencil-thin to be called beautiful. Still, there are some women who prefer to look “healthier”, meaning, not being too skinny, balancing their weight with their actual height.
Some women who wanted immediate results on their dieting scheme tend to crash-diet, meaning they deprive themselves the needed food by their bodies.
For those who starve themselves, they usually are the ones who are most prone to binging, thus, packing on more pounds than they had shed during their limited food intake.
Below are some tips on dieting to help eliminated or lose weight the safe and effective way.
Eat small meals. Most people, especially women, tend to eat when they are bored or have nothing else to do. Some use food to console or reward themselves over some things or events in their lives.
The best way to limit food intake is to eat only when hunger strikes, and in doing so, by taking only small meals. If an individual is used to eating 3 slices of bread, cutting it down to 1, as a starter, would be a good idea.
By cutting down the amount of food intake, but taking it more frequently, the individual would not feel that he or she is hungry since they are still ingesting food when need, though at an amount which is much healthier.
For example, instead of skipping eating breakfast and then eating a big lunch, it would be best to eat breakfast and then eat a smaller lunch.
Choose the foods to snack on. Office workers tend to snack on sugary goodies available on vending machines in their offices. What an individual has to do to limit the temptation to snack on these is to store nutrition packed foods such as the following:
1.Dried fruits (raisins, figs, apricots)
2.low-fat Granola bars
3.whole wheat pretzels
4.puddings which are low-in fat
5.power bars
6.low-fat popcorns
7.dry-roasted mixed nuts
qEat foods high in fiber. Recent studies have shown that an increase in the intake of fiber-rich foods can contribute to weight loss. Fiber aids in the digestion process and makes an individual feel fuller at a much longer period of time, thus contributing to the decrease in the urge to eat.
Foods high in fiber includes apples, pears, whole grains like pasta and wheat, lima beans and turnip green.
Drink lots of water. Water replaces lost fluids in the body. It likewise aids in the digestion process. Drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day may reduce pangs of hunger since it makes the individual feel fuller, thus minimizing the urge to eat.
It also flushes our toxins in the body and aids the kidney to function properly.
It would be advisable to carry or have water nearby all the time. Office workers might want to have a container of water on their table so as to remind one self to drink.
During small walks or jogs at the park, it would likewise be advisable to carry a jug of water for easy reach.
Stress and sleep levels. If an individual who wants to lose weight deprives one self of the much-needed sleep, he or she might feel tired and sluggish during the day. Such fatigue might be confused with hunger or the need to eat, thus a weight losing idea buster.
Sleep at least 8 hours a day, or whatever number of hours best suits the individual. It has been noted by some researchers that the ideal number of hours of sleep varies from person to person.
Teenagers whose growth hormones are kicking, might need at least 10 hours of sleep, while older people feel re-charged and rested on a four-hour sleep.
Stress on the other hand is said to promote a physiological change which might make loosing weight a hard task. A stressed body releases a hormone called cortisol. Said hormone encourages build up of fat cells in the abdomen as a result to response of the body to stress.
Still, the idea of loosing weight should be done only for some very important matters. If issues of weight cause some health problems, it would be good idea, but to want to loose weight (even if one already feels satisfied with his or her looks) just because others told you so to look beautiful would not be very wise.
Live a healthy life and be happy.

Seven Perfect Foodstuffs for Weight Loss
Author: NutriGuy05 19th, 2009
Carole Parker asked:
In case if you would have to find yourself at the deserted island, which food would you like to have there? First you might have thought about some mouth-watering snacks, but finally you would definitely dream about healthy food to keep you fit and beautiful. Thus, we choose useful, rich for minerals food and neglect the one overfilled with trans-fats, rich for fats or sodium (Na). So, if you want to lose weight, you should do the same.
Almonds. Proteins and fiber combination in this tasty nut will keep you full of energy. Almond, this reach source of healthy mono-unsaturated fats also contains calcium and vitamin E. Almond consumption will help you to strengthen bones and low down cholesterol even. Go ahead! Try this: add some fried pieces or slices of almond to the cooked vegetables, e.g. broccoli, cabbage or green beans.
Avocado. Avocado is rich for oils, but the bigger part of them is mono-unsaturated one. It also contains vitamin C, potassium, folate and lutein, which make healthy impact on your eyes. Avocado contains seed sterol (beta-sitosterol), which helps to low down the cholesterol level. Try this: mash avocado till liquid slurry condition, add some lemon or lime juice and consume it instead of mayonnaise or other spices.
Broccoli. Broccoli is the rich source of vitamins A, C, K and beta-carotene.
Eggs. For 75 calories only one small egg fills you with 13 essential minerals and vitamins. The eggs also make us stronger as they appear to be a rich source of useful protein.
Sweet potato (batata). One batata contains day’s quantity of beta-carotene, really nourishing substance which prevents cancer appearance. Your heart will also be happy because of vitamin C and potassium contained in batata. Try this: mash the baked batata in vegetable broth and serve as the first course.
Teff. These tiny grains are simply overfilled with nourishing substances: teff contains twice as much of iron (Fe) and twenty times more of calcium than other grains, plus the efficient amount of fibers. Try this: ½ glass of dry teff pour over with ¼ glass of boiled water. Let the mixture brew up for about 10 minutes, then mix it with lean beef or turkey to make healthy and tasty sandwich.
Yoghurt (low-fat, food additive free). Yoghurt, like the other dairy products, appears to be a rich source of protein and calcium. But, due to its bioactive cultures (beneficent bacteria) it can positively treat your digestion and immunity systems. Read more about food for weight loss at Diets.

Best Weight Loss – Learn How to Maintain Your Ideal Weight
Author: NutriGuy05 19th, 2009
Alan Chai asked:
The best weight loss program is that which gets you to your goal in the optimum amount of time. The program that you choose will help you work with your strengths and avoid your weaknesses while you are losing the ugly and potentially life threatening pounds. Furthermore, you must ideally find a program that will consider how you should maintain the weight loss that you achieve after you have reached the weight goals you set for yourself. The best way to do so is to plan for each aspect of your program for losing weight, including how to avoid slipping back into the old bad eating habits.
Plan Ahead
Before beginning any diet, you should plan ahead and make this the last and best weight loss program you will ever have to attempt. The detailed planning that you should prepare is better if it is very comprehensive and complete. For example, decide what type of weight it is that you want to lose, whether belly fat or all over roly-poly. You should be certain of the weight loss goals that you have and whether you will need supplements or not. It’s also smart to plan for how you will eat smarter for the rest of your life.
Educate Yourself
Education about the best weight loss programs is best done before beginning your program for reducing obesity. You need to know information about nutrition, exercise programs, and supplements, just to name a few factors. Look for all the many web sites that contain accurate and up to date information on the subject of weight loss and related fields. You should understand the role of exercise, nutrition and stress factors in order to help make your efforts to lose weight more effective. If you can begin to think of life style changes rather than short term diets, you will have overcome the major weight loss handicap.
Set Your Trigger Point
When you are deciding how to have the best weight loss program, you may want to set the trigger point. This is the point at which you will make an adjustment to the eating plan you have developed. If you have planned carefully, you will know that you can’t allow your weight to creep back up because of going back to your old negative eating habits. You may need to give yourself a 5 pound range, sometimes people are able to keep the weight fluctuation down to three or four pounds. This type of weight fluctuation is much easier to handle than a 25 or 30 pound weight gain.
Good Nutrition
Regardless of the best weight loss plan you have selected, when you are ready to go on the lifetime maintenance, you will want to make sure that good nutrition habits are a must for your plan. Choose one of the major successful eating plans or develop your own through education, research or trial and error and learn what makes it work. You can modify the plan to fit your own life style so long as you pay attention to the principles of nutrition.

Weight Loss – Finding the Right Regimen For Your Body
Author: NutriGuy05 19th, 2009
Nicole Ross asked:
Weight loss has become the main focus on many Americans minds since the new Millennium. Which, in turn is making the market millions off of the sales of vitamins and minerals, supplements, fat burners, health shakes, fitness equipment, and many other products.

Best Weight Loss Programs for Combating Fat
Author: NutriGuy05 19th, 2009
Nathalie Fiset asked:
It’s coming. The signs are already everywhere and you just know the inevitable. With the market brimming with calorie- laden processed foodstuffs combined with the sedentary lifestyle of today, more and more people are facing the problem of getting fat. Not just plain fat- obese.
Obesity can’t all be that bad if it’s just the mocking and the inability to do most normal things like running and climbing a long length of stairs… then again, with obesity comes high blood pressure, heart diseases, respiratory problems, diabetes and arthritis among other ailments. If you want to live long enough to enjoy your golden years, gear up for another version of the Battle of the Bulge.
Obesity does not choose its victims. It can sink in as early as the age of six and decreases life expectancy by an average of 7- 20%, not to forget that the pollution and stress will make those numbers rise even higher. Factors to obesity include age, gender, genetics, stress, lifestyle and of course, food.
Most weight loss programs target the elimination of unnecessary calories or those calories beyond a person’s required basal metabolism- that’s the amount of calories needed to keep a person’s basic bodily functions up and running normally. However, with the fads and trends of “Kate Moss” models, some programs go as far as starvation and gastric bypasses.
These are not recommended for a lot of reasons but let’s enumerate some for good measure:
1) Quick weight loss tactics only mean quick weight loss- not permanent, not long- term and not healthy.
2) Complications can and will arise from drastic measures beginning with the lack of nutrients. Besides, obese people usually don’t do well under the knife unless the doctors say so.
3) Do you really want liposuction? Or cutting off a part of your stomach or intestine?
Some programs focus on removing the sources of fat from a person’s diet. The Eat More, Weigh Less does just that by encouraging fruits, vegetables, whole grains and little meat without any caloric restrictions whatsoever as long as the fat content falls below 10% of what you eat. The Pritkin diet also goes along these lines. But before choosing any of these diets, one must consider that fat- the unsaturated kind- is also essential to our body. Some critics have said that these diets are not for everyone, especially those who have high- fat bodies, as the diet will only lead to an inadequacy in fatty acids.
The Atkins diet promotes protein since Dr. Robert Atkins believes that carbohydrates are the main causes of obesity. The diet would allot a person meals consisting of 36% protein, 8% carbohydrates, 53% fat or for maintenance 24% protein, 40% fat, 31% carbohydrates. Another popular diet called the South Beach diet also makes meat a hero by advocating foodstuffs that are high in protein, high in fiber, low in carbohydrates and low in animal fats. Although the South Beach diet was developed for those with a high risk of getting diabetes or heart diseases, the aforementioned diet does not balance the basic food groups.
Then there’s the McDougall Project for Maximum Weight Loss, which is basically a vegan diet. Think greens and yellows as these should make up 1/3 of what you eat.
Another example is the Weight Watchers Winning Points program. Based on your statistics and details, the program will allot you “points” that you can use when choosing what to eat. All you have to do is to remain within that range by taking care to select what’s right. Vegetables almost have an equivalent of 0 while fruits have 1-2 points per serving. Complex carbohydrates and fats have the highest.
What you can do to get the best program for you is get to the root of the problem and attack from that point. Be idealistic when setting goals. The weight lost per week should fall in the range of ¾- 2 lbs and not exceeding 3. It will be slow at first. Weight lost during the early stages will be mostly water fat so a doctor’s supervision is really needed if you plan on losing a lot of pounds.
The body will adapt quickly to the diet so prep up the arsenal with a combination of aerobic (running) and anaerobic (weight training) exercise. In order to maintain this, exercise for at least 15- 30 minutes in increasing increments per day.
The program should also include help for when hunger anxiety attacks and depression urges you to binge. Losing weight involves the mindset too.
Those are just some examples of diet programs, which promise weight loss. But here’s catch, what works for others may not work for you. For example, there’s such a diet that dictates what you can and can’t eat based on your blood type. One can’t guarantee same results on such general terms. Weight and build depends on a lot of factors and not just on a single basis as blood type. Word of advice: have a weight loss program tailored for you. Specialists can aid you on this one and with their supervision you will win this fight!

Weight Loss Tips you Should Know

Nathalie Fiset asked:
So many people are engaged into some form of a weight loss program these days. A great figure has become one of the best assets a person can have. Aside from that, it is a well known fact that obesity brings a lot of sickness with it. These reasons make the weight loss industry earn millions of dollars.
Because people are dying to be in perfect shape, the gym business is doing very well. Also, weight loss products and supplements are fast becoming to become a multi million dollar industry. There are even some who tried expensive surgeries just to sculpt their bodies. People are really desperate in making themselves look good that’s why they don’t mind paying much. In fact, they could be paying too much for something that they can avail of for a lower price.
You could actually apply some cheaper, yet effective, weight loss tips. We’re very lucky today that we live in a very scientific world. So much has been researched on how to effectively lose weight. Unlike years before when weight loss programs were mere speculations, you can be sure that right now, the weight loss tips available are scientifically founded.
If you try to search the internet, you’ll sure to end up with hundreds of results on how to achieve a better figure. You’ll even get some advise from fellow readers on how they have maintained their weight. You won’t have to remain vague when it comes to losing wait when you have a lot of outlets to turn to for some great weight loss tips.
Basically, the main components of any weight loss program is to have a healthy diet and exercise regularly. You vary the gravity of these depending on your desired results. For example, if you need to shed off several more pounds, you may have to eat considerably less and do much more exercises.
For starters, reduce your fat intake. Begin by eating less junk foods and chocolate. You could also minimize drinking beer or soda. It is important to be able to gradually adjust your body to eat less. Crash dieting is not advisable since it might just shock your body.
Follow a balanced diet. Try eating more fruits and vegetables. You may have to get yourselves one of those weight loss supplements to make sure that your body is still getting enough nutrients. It would be better to consult professional on what kind of diet you should follow, so as not to run the risk of malnutrition.
Of course, you could just conveniently search the internet for diet plans. Just try to search for a plan that fits you. There is no diet that is perfect for everybody. For example, if you suffer from a deficiency of some kind of vitamin, you would choose a diet that does not reduce intake of this vitamin. Some people might also need a high-fiber or low-salt diet. It depends on your current health state.
Taking your dog out for a walk would also do your body good. Simple stretching exercises could come a long way.
Exercises are also great excuses for not eating. Instead of driving your car around the next block to get a few groceries, you can take a walk instead to the grocery store. In that way, you can’t go through the drive in fast food you’ll pass in the next corner.
Basically, all you need is a lot of self control. I know, it’s not as easy as it sounds. It really is difficult to control one’s appetite especially during parties where lots of delicious are available for free.
It’s also not so easy to exercise regularly. But if you want good results, you have to work on it. Exercising may seem to be a hassle on the first few weeks, but once you get the hang of it, it’ll become a habit. Then, you’ll find exercising to be one of the daily routines that you just can’t live without.
Pills may give you a thinner body in a shorter period, but once you stop taking them, you’ll return to your old habits, thus making yourself fat again. I am aware of the much pressure placed on the not so thin people, but you shouldn’t compromise your general health just to get an attractive figure. To effectively reduce weight, you don’t need drastic results, you need a change of lifestyle.

Intermittent Fasting Weight Loss Plan
Author: NutriGuy05 16th, 2009
Charles Nash asked:
I wanted to take the time to talk to you about a new intermittent fasting weight loss diet. It is a very new type of eating that can help you lose weight. It isn’t to the status of the next big thing in diets, but with the amazing study that recently came out, it should be there within the next 6 months. The study showed that people ended up eating the same amount food and actually lost weight. It also found that these people had improved health and were believed to live longer. There are a lot of skeptics when it comes to this, so I thought I’d do an investigation to learn more.
All that an intermittent fasting weight loss diet consists of is an eating pattern, rather than the food you end up eating. For a full 24hr period, you can eat anything you want, no matter how fattening, as much as you want. The next 24hr period, you’re on a fast and can only have the basics like water. This simple cycle repeats. To those that think that you’re actually starving yourself, you end up eating the same amount of calories during your 24hr period of eating, that you normally eat over a 2 day period.
When I look at safety of the body, I usually look for natural. It is natural for the human animal to eat three meals a day, everyday? Probably not. If you look at the caveman’s eating patterns, it would of consisted of something similar to intermittent fasting. A big animal is caught and there would be a feast, but other days nothing would be caught and they’d eat nothing.

Weight Loss Suplements – What’s the Right Answer?
Author: NutriGuy05 6th, 2009
Hamza Davis asked:
Should you take weight loss products that are designed to curb your appetite? The answer is a resounding “no”!!
The dominant reason for weight gain is eating foods that are hard for the body to process. Your body gives you hunger signals when it needs greater fuel. Eating the wrong foods gives you incomplete nutrition and makes you eat augmented because your body is telling you it needs augmented vital ingredients. If you eat even limited of the same foods you will get even fewer body nutrition and you don’t crave this. For a short time it may not be a complication but over a long period your health will suffer. This is why weight loss supplements are not such a acceptable idea.
The answer is not to eat secondary of the same foods but to eat healthier foods. Near perfect nutrition will development in near perfect body weight. A supplement to make sure your body is receiving the nutritious elements it needs can help you lose weight because when your body receives what it needs your cravings will ease and even disappear.
A agreeable supplement that gives your body elements it needs is what you should take and it should be taken every day since the feature of our food has gone down dramatically with contemporary farming methods. These include farming the land continuously, causing depleted soil and picking products green so they never ripen properly as they do on the vine.
There are so numerous products and so bountious claims for these products that it is confusing for people even if they know a lot about the health food industry.
The most significant thing to keep in mind is that natural products work best for the body and if you can acquire a natural product with concentrated ingredients that has been processed very tiny or not at all, this is the kind of product you desiderate.
One of the best, most unitary, and natural products to use for supplementation is a member of the algae family called spirulina. Two numerous admirable members of the algae family are chlorella and blue-green algae.
However, for the body to assimilate chlorella and blue-green algae properly, the cell walls on these products must be broken for the body to use the ingredients inside the cell.
The various methods for doing this are heat, grinding and sound waves.
Since spirulina does not require any of this processing it is the utmost choice if you require to be sure what you are purchasing.
These algae products are so rich in nutrition that they can actually curb your appetite if taken in competent amounts and there is no off the shelf man made supplements that comprise of all the admirable ingredients of these natural products. These algae products consist of increased concentrated nutrition than any other known foods and can help you lose weight by giving your body super nutrition and the greater your nutrition is, the inferior you will eat and this is much finer than decreasing your appetite artificially.
These algae products are available at your local health food store but you can also save greenbacks on them by buying in bulk.
There are usually packages of a scant ounces or grams at hand and some stores order it in 25-50 pound boxes and weigh out whatever amount you desire to procure. This is much cheaper than buying it in pill bottles off the shelf.
These algae products are used like supplements but are actually a whole food in super concentrated form and science has proven that whole foods are absorbed 100% by the body. Processed supplements in bottles have an absorption rate between zero and 10% and most are below 5%.
Remember, the ingredients in the algae products can be absorbed 100% by the body because they are in whole food form and spirulina is the greatest choice because it requires no processing.
