Low Intensity Or High Intensity Exercises - Which One Works To Lose Inches & Burn Fat Effectively And Quickly?

2009-11-06T10:48:00.000-05:00

What works better for quick and consistent fat loss, low intensity or high intensity exercises?

Well, low-intensity exercise is defined as working at a heart rate of about 60% to 65% of your maximum heart rate (which is equal to 220 - your age = maximum heart rate, thus if you are 20 years old, 220 - 20 = 200 max HR). High-intensity exercise is defined as working at about 75 to 85% or more of your maximum heart rate.

Using the previous example for maximum heart rate (max HR=200), working at 60% of your max HR would be 120 beats per minute and 80% of that would be 160 beats per minutes.
There are several reasons "low intensity exercise" is normally recommended for fat loss.

1. It's easy - In many cases people who are trying to lose fat don't always feel energetic enough to do hard training due to the caloric deficit (a.k.a. diet) that they are on. In these cases, just sticking to an exercise program can be hard enough, never mind making the exercise itself challenging.

2. It's low risk - A personal trainer generally can't go wrong by recommending low-intensity exercise to clients. Even the most out of shape person can usually do low-intensity cardio training safely. While this is certainly appropriate advice for novice trainers, it does not necessarily apply to the more experienced trainer when it comes to effective training.

3. It burns a higher percentage of calories from fat - This is very true: exercising at a lower intensity does burn a higher percentage of calories from fat than high-intensity exercise. But, as I will explain, this does not necessarily mean you're going to burn more fat.

Let's crunch some numbers to show you exactly what I mean when I say high-intensity exercise burns more fat.

Low-intensity exercises burns about 50% fat for energy while high-intensity exercises burns about 40% fat for energy. This is not a huge difference.

Say, for example, walking for 20 minutes burns 100 calories. Then 50% of 100 calories is 50 fat-calories burned.

Now say 10 minutes of interval training at a high intensity burns 160 calories. Well, 40% of 160 calories is 64 fat-calories burned.

By doing the high-intensity work, you've just burned 14 more fat calories in half the time. Starting to sound good? There's more...

---

Low-intensity exercise only burns calories while you are actually exercising. That means the moment you stop exercising, your caloric expenditure goes back down to nearly baseline levels. Within minutes, you're not burning many more calories than if you hadn't done anything at all.

High-intensity exercise, on the other hand, continues to boost your metabolism long after you're done (often up to 24 hours after, depending on the length and intensity of the training session). This means you're continuing to burn many more calories all day long!

---

Low-intensity exercise does nothing to build or support muscle mass. Maintaining muscle mass is critical to an effective fat-loss strategy as muscle burns fat just sitting there. Want to keep your metabolism working to burn fat? Do whatever you can to build or keep your muscle tissue.

High-intensity exercise has the potential to increase muscle mass. Compare the body of a top sprinter to a top marathon runner. The sprinter carries far more muscle mass. You won't get big bulky muscles from high intensity training but you will get shapely and more defined muscles!

---

How To Do It

Now that you've seen how effective high intensity training can be for fat loss, how is it done?

The absolute easiest way to start this type of training is to get on a cardio machine at the gym and select the interval training program. As you'll see, you'll start off with a fairly light warm-up cycle, then quickly jump up to a high intensity level for a short burst. You will then drop back down to a low level for a period of time, then back up to a high level again, repeated several times and finishing with an appropriate cool-down period.

The repetition of these intervals is the nuts and bolts of high intensity interval training. You can also do it manually by adjusting your intensity level up and down over short periods of time.

For example, do 30 seconds at high power then 30 seconds at low power. Repeat. It's very simple and very effective.

Another excellent method for doing high-intensity training is called aerobic interval training. It is essentially the same concept as the previously explained interval training but the work intervals are longer with the intensity level somewhat lower. A good example would be running at a pace that you can only keep up for about 5 minutes then walking for 2 minutes then running 5 more minutes, walking 2 minutes, etc.

High-intensity training can be applied to any form of cardiovascular exercise. Anything from walking/sprinting to swimming to bike riding will work perfectly. I would recommend doing his type of training 2 to 3 times per week for best results. As always, be sure to consult with your physician before starting any exercise program.

---

Remember, what you get out of exercise is directly proportional to what you put in. Work at high-intensity training for awhile and see just how much better your fat-loss efforts go.

Good morning! Today's blog post is a guest post from Nick Nilsson from Metabolic-Surge.com. In this post, you are going to find a fat loss circuit training plan you can start today that will SKYROCKET your metabolism to the highest peak for incredibly fast fat loss......and in less time! Read on to learn more and get started today....

-------------------------

Fat Loss Circuit Training - Increase Your Metabolism To It's Peak With This Unusual Fat Loss Training Exercise!

By Nick Nilsson

If you're looking to burn fat as fast as humanly possible, Fat Loss Circuit Training is the BEST place to start.

Fat Loss Circuit Training is a training technique designed around the concept of circuit training...moving from one exercise to another with very little rest between exercises. But Fat Loss Circuit Training has a couple of very unique twists that will help really peel the fat off your body FAST.

It's also one of the core components of my extremely powerful "Metabolic Surge - Rapid Fat Loss" program available at http://www.Metabolic-Surge.com

Fat Loss Circuit Training is very simple once you get the hang of it, but it can be one of the most demanding styles of training you can do.

This is a training technique that you can not only feel working WHILE you're training but very strongly AFTER your training session is done...many people report actually FEELING their metabolism increasing for hours afterwards (like their internal thermostat has been kicked up several degrees).

Now, if you're familiar with normal circuit training (with timed, light-weight intervals), please put aside any notions you might have of how this program works.

You will not only be harnessing the muscle-building and metabolism-stimulating power of intense, full-set weight training (NOT the typical light-weight, timed intervals of normal circuit training), you will also be incorporating the great calorie-burning effects of cardiovascular training at the same time.

This unique combination of weights and cardio into one workout is, quite simply, phenomenal for fat burning.

In order to use Fat Loss Circuit Training, you will need access to both weight equipment and cardio equipment (and/or benches or stairs), preferably located fairly close to each other.

This type of training is a little more tricky to perform in a crowded gym as it will involve you moving back and forth quickly between different pieces of equipment. If someone is waiting to use your cardio machine the moment you step off, it will defeat the purpose of the workout. This technique is best used in a fairly uncrowded gym where you have more freedom to use equipment or, better yet, in a home gym with weights and cardio equipment and no one waiting for anything!

But just fyi, if you DO train in a crowded gym, I will tell you exactly how to get around it so you can put this style of training to work as well.

How Fat Loss Circuit Training Works:

This style of training is simple... your rest period for weights will be cardio and your rest period for cardio will be your weights. You will be going back and forth between your weight training exercises and cardio exercise for the duration of the workout!

Yes, that means pretty much NO rest the entire time you're in the gym...I told you it was going to be demanding! But the good thing about this style of training is that it can very easily be adjust for ANY level of trainer - I've had complete beginners use it without any problems.

Now, this particular combination of weights and cardio is very effective for a number of reasons:

- It forces your body to burn calories continuously during the workout.
- It utilizes resistance training and cardio training so you get all the benefits of both in one workout.
- By forcing your body to work like this, you dramatically increase your metabolism leading to increased fat burning long after the workout (more so than either weights or cardio alone).
- It saves time -- you get both your weights and cardio in the same amount of time as your regular workout.
- You will still be able to use relatively heavy weights in your weight training, helping to preserve muscle mass.

How To Do It:

Step 1 - The Set Up

For the most efficient workout possible, try to have most or all of your exercises pre-set and ready to go. The less time you spend on preparation during your workout itself, the more effective that workout will be, especially since you want to be continually active throughout the training session. You can use any type of cardio that is convenient and enjoyable to you, be it a machine, stair stepping, or even a skipping rope.

If you are working out in a crowded gym, try to claim an area for yourself and focus on dumbbell and barbell exercises while using a Step platform for your cardio training. You won't have to wait in line to use any weight or cardio machines that way.

If you don't have access to convenient cardio machines, you're going to have to go low-tech!

You'll need to do stair-stepping (stepping up two stairs then back down works well), bench-stepping (step up onto a flat bench or Step platform then back down) or rope-jumping (be sure you're not close to anyone if you choose this). These approaches work just as well as (if not better than!) cardio machines and allow you to perform this training style in a busier gym setting.

Step 2 - Warm-up

Do a few minutes of low-intensity cardio as a warm-up. You may wish to do a few light sets of a few of the exercises you'll be working with before you start into the main training session. Don't tire yourself out...just get a light sweat going.

Step 3 - Start with 40 seconds of moderate intensity cardio.

This could be setting the machine to a level that is not easy but is not so challenging that you're going to exhaust yourself right away. Watch the timer on your machine and go for approximately 40 seconds (I say approximately because there will generally be a slight lag time when you step on and off).

If you are using a machine such as a treadmill or stair machine that you will leave on with the timer running, just watch the time counter on the machine and keep track of when you get on it to get the designated period. It may require a little mental math! You can also use your own stopwatch or timer on your watch to keep track (this is easier). Start the timer when you start the cardio.

If you're doing stair or bench stepping, you'll need a timer or view of a clock with the "second" hand visible to keep track of your work periods.

Step 4 - Do a set of weights.

Right after you finish your first "set" of cardio, go as quickly as you can to your first fat loss circuit training exercise. Do a set of the first exercise on your program for the day. Do this with NO rest, going from the cardio immediately to the weights. Perform reps until you start to approach muscular failure.

It is very important to note that while this is definitely still intense weight training, DO NOT push yourself to muscular failure. The idea here is load the muscles but not overtax your nervous system - believe me, even taking it fairly close to failure is going to be demanding enough when you go right back to cardio instead of taking a rest!

Also, be very sure to use proper form and tempo when lifting the weights. Don't rush your weight sets - perform them with the same form and speed as you would if you were doing a regular set in your training. Fast, light or sloppy weight sets are NOT what we're looking for here.

Step 5 - Go right back to the cardio.

Immediately go back to the cardio and do another 40 seconds of moderate-intensity cardio.

Step 6 - Repeat this cycle for the duration of the workout.

You will be going back and forth continuously between cardio and weight training exercises, using the cardio as the rest period between your weight sets. What this means is that over the course of your workout, you'll be burning calories via cardio and weights AND you'll be working your muscles with intense, heavy weight training as well. It's tough training but very effective!

To give you an idea of what this looks like, here is a sample run-through of your fat loss circuit training plan:

40 seconds cardio
1 set of chest
40 seconds cardio
1 set of chest
40 seconds cardio
1 set of chest
40 seconds cardio
1 set of back
40 seconds cardio
1 set of back

etc, etc.

As you can see you, you'll do all your sets for your first bodypart (with cardio in between, of course), then move to your NEXT bodypart and do all the sets for that bodypart.

Notes:

- As you improve your cardio capacity, you can increase the intensity of your cardio training between sets. You may wish to start at a lower level and gradually increase the resistance over the course of the workout or start at a higher level and keep it there. It is perfectly acceptable to keep it at a steady, moderate level, however.

- This Fat Loss Circuit technique can be used with nearly any form of cardio exercise as long as it is convenient to go back and forth with the weights. The real key here is to maintain activity for the entire workout. I've done it with stair machines, treadmills, stair-stepping, stationary bike, elliptical machines, and skipping rope.

- Keep your workouts to no more than 45 minutes at the very most when doing this type of training. It's a very demanding form of training as you'll be working every major energy system in your body. You will also find it will crank your metabolism up quite high!

Extremely Fast Ways To Lose Weight - 3 PROVEN Tips To Drop Pounds Fast

2009-10-31T12:37:00.000-04:00

Okay, in this post here, I would like to share with you 3 extremely fast ways to lose weight. But, the first thing I would like to talk about are the simple principles that ALL should follow in order to get results.....since without these principles.....forgetaboutit!

What are these principles? These principles are simple to learn and adapt to....you just have to gather up the willpower to start and STAY CONSISTENT. Consistency is the secret my friend!

Now, those principles are proper nutrition (complex carbs, fiber, healthy fats, vitamins and minerals, protein), drink plenty of water daily ( I recommend for you to drink 1/2 your body weight in ounces), get plenty of sleep every night (7-8 hours is ideal), cardio exercise and weight training exercise. Those are the basic core principles of a healthy lifestyle to assure quick and consistent weight loss.

Here are 3 extremely fast ways to lose weight starting today:

1. Up The Veggies! - You already know that you should eat your vegetables daily. BUT, did you know that if you increase the amount of veggies you eat daily, you will send your metabolism into overdrive causing extreme weight loss and fat loss! How? It all boils down to the amount of fiber in vegetables. The more vegetables you eat daily, the more your body is going to have to work to digest the complex carbs (fiber) from vegetables. I recommend for you to eat as much green vegetables (more nutrients) as possible (broccoli, spinach, etc.).

2. "Ice Cold" H2O! - Water is absolutely essential if you want to lose weight extremely fast. But, did you know that you can take water to the next level simply by paying attention to the temperature of it? That's right, if you drink ICE COLD water, your body will be sent into thermogenesis (your body will burn calories off to warm the water up to body temperature)!!

3. Empty Stomach Cardio! - This is debated to no end, but, you can tap into stored fat by doing cardio exercises on an empty stomach. If you eat before you exercise, your workout is going to burn off the calories from the foods you ate for the day. If you do cardio on an empty stomach (obviously in the morning), you will burn off stored calories and therefore this is one of the absolute most extremely fast ways to lose weight, inches, and fat...PERMANENTLY.

How To Effectively & QUICKLY Reduce Stomach Fat - 2 EASY Tips to Reduce Stubborn Stomach Fat Fast

2009-10-30T09:31:00.000-04:00

Aren't you sick and tired of dieting, exercising, taking diet pills, and going on every fad diet known to man to reduce stomach fat fast....BUT....nothing ever works? Well, in today's post, I would like to talk about 2 simple but POWERFUL tips to help you effectively reduce stubborn belly fat. Read on to learn more...

Getting a flatter stomach is an often sought out goal most folks have when it comes to getting in better shape. However, most people approach reducing stubborn belly fat the wrong way. The most popular approach is to simply just do midsection exercises. Abdominal exercises are only going to tone muscles...not burn fat!

So, to get results, here are two easy tips that I followed consistently that helped me reduce stomach fat along with dropping several pounds:
Tip #1 - Drink a lot more water.

I know you've heard this before, but it is worth repeating. Drinking plenty of water daily will have tremendous impact on reducing belly fat and total body fat for that matter. The more water you drink the more your body will automatically release retained water it was holding when you were not drinking enough of it. You'll notice in the first couple of weeks of drinking more water that you'll first off will have to go to the bathroom a lot (this is because of the retained water), and secondly that you'll drop a considerable amount of pounds (retained water weight). Besides releasing water weight, drinking plenty of water helps with metabolizing fat, and proper development of muscle tissue.

Tip #2 - Eat, eat, and eat some more!

That's right! To help reduce stomach fat fast, eating more frequently through out the day will cause a boost in your metabolism which is one of the important things to achieve successful fat loss and weight loss. Also, you will improve your blood sugar level, and you will feel more fuller through out the day (therefore preventing binge eating). Now, when I say eat more through out the day, I don't mean excessive calories. I mean eating more frequently....but with small healthy meals. I recommend for you to eat 6 small healthy meals daily for the best results. For even better results, you could also try "calorie shifting". Click here to learn more about it.

See, I told you it was easy to reduce stomach fat! Now, there is only one catch....you MUST stay consistent! You will see massive improvement with your body just as long as stay 100% consistent with living a healthy lifestyle......AND avoid unnatural dieting methods.

GOOD LUCK!

Best Exercise To Lose Belly Fat - Lose Inches Off Your Belly Quickly With This Powerful Workout!

2009-10-28T13:37:00.000-04:00

Okay, today I would like to talk about the best exercise to lose belly fat quickly and easily. BUT, let's firstly talk about what "other" things are needed in order to flatten that midsection quickly and effectively!

Alright, the first thing you should have on your list is to make sure you get 100% PROPER nutrition. That means that everything you heard about low-carb, low-fat, low-calorie, etc., forget all about it because that type of dieting just don't work! Those "fad dieting" techniques are only going to cause a serious reduction in your metabolism....which causes your body to retain body fat and not release it!

The second thing that should be on your list is to make sure you drink A TON of water every day....no excuses! I know it may be difficult if you are not used to drinking a lot of water, but you MUST understand how vitally important it is to get plenty of water each day no just to lose belly fat and weight, but for your overall health. I recommend for you to get 1/2 your body weight in ounces.

The third thing is to make sure you get your metabolism elevated as high as possible using natural methods. You can boost your metabolism naturally by eating more frequently through out the day (4-5 small meals), adding spices to your meals, and you can do one of the most powerful online diet systems that will SKYROCKET your metabolism to the maximum peak called "calorie shifting" from Fat Loss 4 Idiots. See more about this diet system and my personal review here.

Okay, now let's talk about the best exercise to lose belly fat fast!

Firstly, be sure to remember that ab crunches and other specific abdominal exercises are NOT the best exercise to remove fat from the belly. Those types of exercises will only "tone" the underlying muscles...you have to get rid of the fat in order to see those muscles.

With that said, the best exercise to lose inches off your stomach quickly is none other than high intensity interval training (H.I.I.T). This type of exercising attacks stubborn stored fat very effectively due to the increase of your R.M.R. (resting metabolic rate). The faster your metabolism, the more fat you'll burn. The fact that H.I.I.T increases your "resting" metabolic rate along with boosting your metabolism "during" the workout, you should be able to paint a clear picture of how much belly fat you'll burn!

To understand more about how this workout is done, here is an excerpt from Wikipedia:

"A HIIT session consists of a warm up period of exercise, followed by six to ten repetitions of high intensity exercise, separated by medium intensity exercise, and ending with a period of cool down exercise. The high intensity exercise should be done at near maximum intensity. The medium exercise should be about half-maximum intensity. The number of repetitions and length of each depends on the exercise. The goal is to do at least six cycles, and to have the entire HIIT session last at least fifteen minutes and not more than twenty.

HIIT is an excellent way to maximize your workout if you are limited on time. Many fitness experts such as Jeff Halevy, a major proponent of HIIT, have made this methodology a cornerstone of their routines for these reasons."

Now, I want to make sure you understand that if you are not physically fit at the moment, I highly recommend that you take it easy in the beginning with this type of exercise. It's best that you gradually work your way in until your physical fitness level improves.

There are many different ways you can do this type of exercise. One of my favorite high intensity exercises to lose belly fat fast is sprinting, but there are many other ones you can tryout.

To get an idea of how this workout is done and some of the different variations, check out the video below....

So, if you have been looking for the best exercise to lose belly fat fast, I highly recommend you get started with H.I.I.T! Just remember to consult your physician before you begin this or any other type of diet/fitness program.

Good luck!

How to SAFELY Lose 2 Pounds in 1 Week WITHOUT Exercising! - A Mini Weight Loss Plan PROVEN To Work For ANYONE!

2009-10-20T11:37:00.001-04:00

Is it really possible to lose 2 pounds in 1 week without exercising? Better yet, can this be done without any adverse effects? Read on...

Now, the first thing I want to address is that I highly recommend for you to include some type of exercising no matter what your goals are. It doesn't matter if you are in shape, out of shape, obese, morbidly obese, etc. Exercise is absolutely important in anyone's life and should not be taken lightly. Exercise will assist you with good heart health, cardiovascular health, and so much more!

This post is basically just for those who are having a current difficulty to add some type of solid exercise regimen into their daily life....at the moment. Remember, there is always some time in the day to devote to some type of exercise to shed fat, drop pounds, and/or maintain your current physique....heck, you could do 25 jumping jacks while you're reading this post! LOL!

Okay, now let's talk about how it can be possible to "safely" lose 2 lbs. in 1 week if you can't start exercising just yet.

Alright, let's break it all down:

There are three critical components of a healthy lifestyle that will produce an awesome body both internally and externally. Those three components are:

1.) Lose weight and maintain a healthy weight.

2.) Build muscle and maintain lean muscle tissue.

3.) Burn fat and keep fat off.

Sounds simple and pretty obvious until you dig a little deeper....

You see, most folks who experience failure with dieting usually about 99% of the time did something that went against one of those three critical components above.

Here's how to fail with dieting based on the 3 things mentioned above:

1.) You try to lose weight too fast. This will ultimately cause your metabolism to decrease which can lead to yo-yo weight loss.

2.) You reduced calories too much, or you are doing too much cardiovascular exercises without getting enough protein and calories in your diet. This will all lead to a loss of muscle tissue.

3.) If you get on fad diets, use diet pills, starve yourself, etc., this will also decrease your metabolism...which can also lead to your body STORING body fat instead of burning it off!

Now that you understand those points, let's talk about how to drop two pounds in 7 days naturally and without causing any adverse effects on your weight loss journey.

Okay, you probably already know that 1 pound is 3500 calories, right? Well, that would mean that we're going to need to minus 7,000 calories this week in order to reach our weight loss goal. So, let's break this down to get you in those skinny jeans by next week!

What you want to first do is find out how many calories you need to intake daily to MAINTAIN your current weight. Click here to find that out.

Welcome back! Alright, now that you have that number, let's get started.

1. Food - Never, and I mean NEVER, reduce calories too much (see critical component #1 above)! What I recommend for you to do is to reduce your daily "maintenance" number by no more than 300 calories. So, if you need to consume 2,000 calories daily to maintain your current weight, reduce this number to 1,700.

2. Daily Activities - So, we now have 300 calories reduced which will add up to 2,100 calories for the week. We need 4,900 more to lose 2 pounds in 1 week....and that's where daily activities come into play. That's right....you can burn a ton of calories off doing normal daily activities!

Take a look at just some of the basic daily activities and the calories you can burn:

Eating - 100+ calories per hour.
Bathing - 100+ calories per hour.
Taking the stairs (UP) - 300+ calories per hour.
Simple walking (Parking lot to store, around the house, to work or school, etc.) - 200+ calories per hour.
Sleeping - 60+ calories per hour. (Whoa! That's roughly 3,500 calories a week based off of sleeping 8 hours a night! Are you getting excited yet?)
Driving - 100+ calories per hour. (I probably burn thousands of calories since I fuss and throw temper tantrums every time I drive...lol!)
Standing - 100+ calories per hour.

With just those basic activities above, and given just a basic calculation of how much time we all typically devote to each of those tasks above on average, you could expect to burn......DRUM ROLL PLEASE.........6,960 calories per week!!! Boy, with that number, you don't even have to reduce calories let alone exercise and you'll still get fast and consistent weight loss!

So, with reducing 300 calories from our meals (remember to eat healthy and include ALL types of nutrients with no restrictions...including good carbs such as fiber and definitely protein) each day we get 2100 calories burned off, and with doing basic daily activities mentioned above, we burned off 6960 calories. That gives us a total of 9060 calories per week or roughly 2 1/2 pounds!

Alright my friend, I know you're probably excited, BUT, there is a little catch. That little catch is based on WHAT you eat each day.

Even if you followed the above by eating 300 calories below your maintenance and just did those basic activities above, if you are gobbling down some greasy cheeseburgers and french fries, your going to end up with some very unwanted results! Sure, the weight will go down (after all, a calorie is a calorie), HOWEVER, eating too many poor foods will lead to a mountain of problems including serious health risks! Remember those 3 critical components above? Eating poorly breaks ALL three! If you want results, just remember one of my quick memorable quotes: "eat right and you'll be alright!"

So, there you have it. A quick little weight loss plan to "safely" lose 2 pounds of fat in 1 week without exercising. Just remember, I highly recommend that you STILL include some form of exercise into your plan any which way you can to get the best results and to improve your overall health.

Good luck!

It's a Q&A formula you should use to choose which one will work for you:

3. Does this particular diet have an outrageous fee? A typical monthly type diet should only cost between $20-$50 per month. A weight loss program (one time purchase), should only cost between also $20-$50. If a diet program has a unreasonable fee....avoid it.

1.) Do not reduce calories. Severely reducing calories will slow down your metabolism...which will then lead to stored fat and yo-yo weight loss!

2.) Don't jump into dieting without first planning. Figure out what would be best for YOU and YOUR body.

3.) Concentrate on building muscle since lean muscle tissue will help you lose stomach fat...even while you sleep!

4.) Eat 5-6 small healthy meals each day to help in increasing your metabolism.

5.) Exercise on an empty stomach to burn off STORED calories instead of calories you've just ate.

6.) Include these foods in your diet: protein, healthy fat (monounsaturated), fiber, complex carbs, vitamins and minerals.

7.) Drink 1/2 to 1 gallon of water each day.

8.) Leave the scale ALONE! Due to the inconsistency of how much our bodies weigh at any given time, you will then get a lot of inconsistent readings! Therefore, only weigh yourself once a week and do it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.

9.) Never give up! You WILL get results. There's only one catch though....you must stay 100% consistent with diet and exercise if you want to see those results.

10.) Don't make getting in shape so hard. To lose stomach fat fast doesn't take miracles and it's not some type of science. Trust in yourself, and you will get the body you've always wanted!

The 10 Best Foods to Eat to Build Muscle and Shed Body Fat LIGHTNING Fast!

2009-10-11T15:54:00.000-04:00

Want to build muscle and shed body fat at the same time? Do you know what is most important in order to accomplish this goal? If you answered proper dieting, then you are already half way to your goal of a new body! In this article, I would like to talk about the best foods to eat to build muscle and burn away stubborn fat.

Proper nutrition is the most important aspect in order to build lean muscle and at the same time, lose fat. However, besides proper nutrition, there are a few other key components you must understand and adapt to in order to get results. Those other components are drinking plenty of water daily (1/2 gallon to 1 gallon every day), getting plenty of sleep every night (7-8 hours nightly is ideal), cardio exercise (I recommend high intensity cardio to prevent losing muscle tissue), and of course, weight training exercise.

Now, the following is my list of the best foods to eat to build muscle and shed body fat:

Whey Protein Shakes (Great source of protein and nutrients that helps to build muscle and lose body fat.)

Apples (Excellent source of fiber.)

Turkey Breast (Another great source of protein and vital nutrients.)

Cayenne Pepper (Spice up of your life and boost your metabolism.)

Beef Liver (Creatine, carnitine, B vitamins and more. If you want to burn fat and build lean muscle, you have to add this to your diet!)

Grapefruit (Several vitamins and minerals all key to build muscle and shed body fat.)

Lean skinless chicken breast (The muscle builders meat of choice! low in fat and high in protein...enough said!)

Oatmeal (Fiber and complex carbohydrates)

Olives (Excellent source of monounsaturated fats)

Salmon (Great source of monounsaturated fat and protein)

Now, just as much as it is important on WHAT and HOW you eat, WHEN you eat plays a vital role as to how effective proper nutrition is going to be with getting you results. An excellent and extremely powerful dieting technique that I recommend is the "calorie shifting" technique. This technique will increase your metabolism to the maximum peak to shed body fat like crazy!

Calorie Shifting Diet Plan - Does This Diet From Fat Loss 4 Idiots Really Work? See Review

2009-10-10T11:58:00.000-04:00

I'm pretty sure you've probably heard about a new diet plan called the calorie shifting diet from Fat Loss 4 Idiots. The focus of this diet is all based around the idea of boosting your metabolism WITHOUT restricting calories or nutrients!

Calorie shifting is all based around, simply put, tricking your metabolism. Your metabolism assumes that you are going to consume x amount of calories and specific types of foods on a daily basis based off of what you have eaten the previous days. Therefore, your metabolism will only burn calories based off of your eating habits.

The idea of calorie shifting, is to change this pattern around by changing what you eat, much you eat, and how when you eat. When you do this, it will cause your metabolism to burn fat off fast!

There is no greater way to lose weight and burn off fat faster than by making sure you place your primary emphasis on proper nutrition....and then use proper nutrition to ACCELERATE your metabolism. When you eat the right foods, eat the appropriate amount of calories daily, and when you eat at the right times of the day, you will experience fat loss and weight loss....extremely fast.

Now, although the calorie shifting diet works very well by itself, if you follow the other basic principles of a healthy lifestyle...it's a GUARANTEE that you'll burn fat off quickly and easily. Those other basic principles of a healthy lifestyle are drinking plenty of water daily, getting plenty of sleep every night, cardio exercise and weight training exercise.

So, if you are interested in trying out the calorie shifting diet plan from Fat Loss 4 Idiots, then I highly recommend for you to read my full review of this diet program at http://www.FatLossIn11Days.info. Also, there is currently a 50% off discount for a limited time only.

Good luck!

Belly Fat Foods - 3 Powerful Foods To Help Melt Away Stubborn Belly Fat Fast!

2009-10-08T12:10:00.003-04:00

In order to flatten your belly, what you eat is incredibly important. In this article, I would like to talk about 3 powerful "belly fat foods" you should definitely have in your diet to if you want to get rid of fat as quickly as possible.

First things first. You will find it incredibly difficult to burn fat and lose weight without following the basic core principles of a healthy lifestyle.

What are those basic principles?

Proper nutrition
Drinking plenty of water daily (1/2 to 1 gallon)
Getting plenty of sleep every night (7-8 hours)
Cardio exercise and weight training exercise.

Now, here are 3 belly fat foods I highly recommend you add to your diet:

Almonds - Almonds are an incredible food. Why? The health benefits of almonds are enormous. Almonds contain important healthy fats (monounsaturated, Omega), vitamins, minerals, fiber, and protein. All of those nutrients (especially the healthy fat) will help shed abdominal fat off incredibly fast. Get this: it only takes a handful of almonds a day to accomplish this task!!

Fish - Fish contains a considerable amount of protein and healthy fats (same fats as almonds). It's lean, easy to cook, versatile, and very healthy for you. I recommend salmon and tuna.

Egg Whites - Egg whites also contain a considerable amount of protein. They also contain a ton of important vitamins and minerals. Adding this into your diet will help you with your goals to shrink your belly and lose weight fast. You can have them for breakfast, lunch, or even a mid day snack.

Now, those belly fat foods should definitely be added to your daily diet, however, how you eat and how much you eat is also an extremely important facet of losing stomach fat.

There is an incredible online dieting technique called "calorie shifting" from the Fat Loss 4 Idiots diet plan. This diet program creates a customized menu plan of 4 meals for you to eat each day (no starving!).

Those belly fat foods above are also included in the list of foods for you to choose from for adding to your custom menu plan. The way this diet removes belly fat is by SKYROCKETING your metabolism with a very powerful diet technique called "shifting".

Flatten Your Belly Fast - How to Flatten Your Belly in Weeks Just By EATING!

2009-10-07T19:06:00.000-04:00

Simply put, in order to flatten your belly faster, it all comes down to getting proper nutrition....no matter how much you exercise, take diet pills, or do some type of fad diet.

Ever so often I'm approached by someone either in person or online wondering what type of exercise they should do in order to get rid of stomach fat. Although yes, you do need to exercise in order to burn fat, however, the one thing they seem to overlook and do not put that much stock in is proper nutrition.

What you eat and how you eat is absolutely vital in order for you to effectively flatten your belly.

What to eat?

Are you ready for a miracle menu of super foods that will have you lose the fat tomorrow?! I hope not, because the foods you need to eat in order to lose the fat is quite simple. What you need to eat is:

Protein (Chicken breast, turkey breast, egg whites, yogurt, beans, etc.)
Fiber (All types of beans, whole grains, etc.)
Healthy fats (monounsaturated, Omega) (This would be in foods such as fish, nuts, olive oil, and more)
Foods rich in vitamins and minerals (A no brainer here - fruits and veggies...especially dark veggies such as broccoli and spinach since they have a plethora of health benefits and fat fighting capabilities).

How to eat?

How you eat is just as important as you what you eat. The best way to eat in order to flatten your belly faster is to eat several small healthy meals daily. I recommend 5-6. The easiest way to do this is to have a small healthy meal every 2-3 hours. When you eat consistently through out the day, this will provide a boost in your metabolism. The faster your metabolism is running, the more your body will be able to naturally burn away fat!

Now, an extremely powerful trick to maximize your efforts to flatten your belly faster is the "calorie shifting diet" technique from Fat Loss 4 Idiots. This dieting method DOES NOT restrict calories or nutrients...so you get to actually eat to lose weight and fat! What this diet technique does is it allows you to eat normal foods but in a very specific pattern to cause your metabolism to SKYROCKET to the maximum peak! Therefore, you can expect to lose 9 pounds and shed inches off your stomach every 11 days...and keep those pounds off for good!

3 Vegetables That Fight Abdominal Fat!

2009-09-30T09:05:00.000-04:00

I bet you didn't know that there is a specific class of vegetables that contain very specific phytonutrients that actually help to fight against abdominal fat.

Let me explain what they are and why...

First of all, if you've already grabbed a copy of the new Fat Burning Kitchen Program then you may already know about how certain chemicals in our food supply and our environment, such as pesticides, herbicides, and certain petrochemicals from household cleaners, cosmetics, etc can act as xenoestrogens.

Xenoestrogens are chemicals that you are exposed to that have an estrogenic effect and excess exposure can cause hormone balance disruptions for both men and women. So these can wreak havoc in the body for both guys and gals.

These estrogenic chemicals that we are exposed to on a daily basis can stimulate your body to store belly fat, along with many other problems.

So here's where this specific class of vegetables comes in handy...

One of those cool tricks that is taught in the Fat Burning Kitchen program is that cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, kale, cabbage, etc. contain specific and unique phytonutrients such as indole-3-carbinol (I3C) that help to fight against these estrogenic compounds...

And by fighting against these belly fat stimulating estrogenic chemicals, this can help you fight against abdominal fat!

So there you go... just another excuse to do what mom always told you and eat more broccoli!

I've really learned to like brussells sprouts in the last year too... Melt a little grass-fed cheese on them and some garlic and they're great!

In case you haven't picked up your copy yet of the Fat Burning Kitchen, there is also included at least 12 other specific foods, teas, spices, etc that help to combat the xenoestrogens and can help you to burn abdominal fat faster in this program...

Make sure to grab your copy of Fat Burning Kitchen before the price doubles tomorrow:

The Best Way To Eat Foods To Cause Your Body To Burn lbs. Of Fat Lightning Fast!

2009-09-26T09:22:00.002-04:00

If you want to burn fat and lose weight fast and keep it off, how you eat foods is just as important as what foods you eat.

First things first. Keep in mind that no diet is successful without implementing the basic core principles of a healthy lifestyle. You must include them all. I'm stressing this because there are so many fad diets out here nowadays that avoid some of these basic principles, and because of that, you should AVOID FAD DIETS!

The basic principles are:

COMPLETE proper nutrition (complex carbs, fiber, protein, health fats, and foods rich in vitamins and minerals),
Get plenty of sleep every night (7-8 hours),
Drink plenty of water daily (I recommend for you to consume 1/2 your body weight in ounces),
Cardio exercise (For best results, focus more on doing short high intensity cardio such as sprinting, or sports. High intensity cardio will burn off much more fat....but at the same time, maintain muscle tissue...unlike long boring cardio which could burn off not just fat, but also muscle!)
Weight training exercise (It's important to include a weight training regimen in your exercise plan since the more lean muscle tissue you have on your body, the more you'll lose weight and the more your body will burn off stubborn fat!)

As far is eating is concerned, as I said earlier, how you eat foods is just as important as what foods you eat. This is because if you focus on eating properly through out the day, you will boost your metabolism. If you boost your metabolism you will burn off fat and lose weight fast, but even more importantly, keep it all off permanently!

How should I eat?

Eat frequently through out the day. Start with breakfast (never skip breakfast), and eat a small healthy meal every 2-3 hours after that. This will keep your fat burning furnace (your metabolism) running on all cylinders and thus naturally burn off fat faster!

When you eat frequently through out the day, your body will burn off more calories and you will lose weight fast and keep it off. However, when you do the opposite and not eat regular meals or you skip meals, this will slow down your metabolism. A slow metabolism will trigger your body to go into "protection mode" because it is sensing starvation. To avoid this from happening, NEVER skip breakfast, and eat 6 small healthy meals through out the day!

Also, be sure to include plenty of protein and fiber with each meal that you eat. This will help in preventing hunger and cravings!

In conjunction with proper nutrition, you're also going to need a proper fat burning plan customized to help you lose weight fast and keep it off. The "Calorie Shifting Diet" from Fat Loss 4 Idiots is based entirely around EATING TO LOSE WEIGHT. Therefore, there is no starving or depriving with this diet program.

Burn Stomach Fat Fast - The 4 Best Foods to Help Burn Stomach Fat!

2009-09-23T12:25:00.001-04:00

In order to burn stomach fat and get rid of those extra pounds, the main focus needs to be placed on proper nutrition.

Understand this first. In order for you to burn stomach fat and develop six pack abs, you are going to have to focus on losing TOTAL body fat. You can not spot target fat loss. Ab exercises work to develop the underlying muscles of the fat the sits on top. You have to lose the fat by way of proper nutrition, getting plenty of sleep every night, drinking plenty of water every day, cardio exercise, and weight training exercise.

Here are the best foods that will help you burn stomach fat.

Vegetables & Fruits: Yes, you HAVE to eat your veggies and fruits! Vegetables are jam packed with several key vitamins, minerals that are all important for your health and will help you lose weight and tummy fat. Fruits, especially avocados, apples, all types of berries, and oranges play a HUGE role in obtaining optimum nutrition, losing fat, and developing lean muscle.

Chicken, Fish & Turkey: Lean chicken (breast), fish & turkey are absolutely essential in any diet. Chicken and turkey contain a considerable amount of protein which is important in building and maintaining muscle. The more muscle you have, the more you'll automatically burn stomach fat and get that flat tummy or six pack abs you desire! They are also loaded with niacin, selenium, B6 vitamins and more, which are all vital to your health. Fish also contains a good amount of protein, but the best thing that fish provides to you is the supply of healthy fats. Tuna and salmon are the best....and DELICIOUS!!

Monounsaturated Fats: What a shocker! You have to eat fat in order to lose fat?! Yes it's true, monounsaturated fats are important to not just lose tummy fat, but also for your overall health, especially your heart. You can find healthy fats in nuts, olive oil, avocado, fish, and more.

Fiber: It's important to make sure you get your daily fiber intake. Fiber helps with your digestive system and with your metabolism. The better your metabolism is functioning, the more fat you will burn. Whole grain foods and apples are a couple of examples of foods rich in fiber.

In conjunction with proper nutrition, you're also going to need a proper fat burning plan customized to help you burn stomach fat quickly and efficiently. I highly recommend for you to take a look into the "Fat Burning Furnace" online program. This is an instantly downloaded diet and exercise program that makes burning off fat and losing weight faster and very easy. Check it out at http://www.GetRidOfFatNow.info

Lose Belly Fat Fast - Speed Up Your Metabolism and Lose Belly Fat Lightning Fast!

2009-09-20T10:20:00.006-04:00

If you want to lose belly fat, and total body fat fast, you're going to have to speed up your metabolism to see and feel results. In this article, I have for you 4 simple tips to speed up your metabolism.

Sleep:

Getting 8 hours of sleep every night can boost your metabolism. How much sleep you get regulates your appetite and how effective your metabolism is. If you do not get enough sleep, not only will this slow down your metabolism, but it will also cause several other health issues.

Eat 6 Small Healthy Meals Daily:

Eat 6 small healthy meals daily instead of the usual 3 or even sometimes 2 (for the busy bees!). This can significantly boost your metabolism. When you eat frequently, your digestive system will be very active, which will contribute to a boost in your metabolic rate. This will also aide in regulating your blood sugar level.

Build Lean Muscle:

Building muscle will burn fat...even while you rest! When you are weight training to build muscle, your muscle cells will demand a lot of energy from your body, which will burn a lot of calories. With weight training, and the repairing phase your muscles go through when you rest, will increase your metabolic rate.

Drink Ice Cold Water:

If you drink ice cold water first thing in the morning, this will help in getting your metabolism jump started for the day! Drink around 8 ounces first thing as soon as you awake. Also, drinking plenty of water daily (1/2-1 gallon), will not only be vitally important for your body, building muscle, and cleansing your body, but also to effectively speed up your metabolism so that you can lose belly fat...and total body fat fast.

Are you ready to lose belly fat now? I recommend for you to look into and download the #1 online fat loss diet that will help you shed inches off your belly and drop 9 lbs. every 11 days!

I wish you the best of success in getting yourself in better health! Good Luck!

There is no exercise plan with this diet. However, you will still lose weight quickly even without doing a lot of exercising. No matter what, I recommend you do some form of cardiovascular and resistance training for optimum health and to make Fat Loss 4 Idiots work even better!

There are no testimonials on their site. However, you can find several testimonials both positive and negative (including my own) below.

My Testimonial Of The Calorie Shifting Diet From Fat Loss 4 Idiots

Hi, my name is Avy Barnes, and I would like to share with you my review about the calorie shifting system from Fat Loss 4 Idiots.

Now, as with any diet program, I was skeptical trying this program out due to the failures with other diet programs, and also since they claimed you'll lose 9 pounds every 11 days! However, due to the fact this calorie shifting system I was hearing so much about was getting a ton of great reviews from users, I decided to go ahead try the diet out.

When I first started on the program, I weighed a tad over 300 pounds and had a HUGE 44 inch waistline! After about 2 months using the calorie shifting diet, my weight dropped down to around 250 pounds and I lost 4 inches off my waist.

The thing is though....I was only experimenting with this diet program! Just imagine if I was going full speed ahead! Now granted I was pretty consistent with also getting to the gym doing both cardiovascular and weight training exercises which sped up my weight loss and fat loss. However, that's the other thing about this diet....you still lose weight even without exercise.

The Fat Loss 4 Idiots diet made me discover what was holding me back from losing weight and burning fat....I had a slow metabolism!

The calorie shifting diet will firstly design a custom nutritional plan where you will be able to consume the amount of calories your body needs everyday.....WHICH MEANS NO STARVATION! Secondly, it will show you how to shift the calories from the foods you eat so that you can confuse your metabolism.

Your metabolism gets in a state of confusion with calorie shifting because your body is used to what, when, and how you eat. When you calorie shift....you break that comfort zone your body is accustomed to. This will cause your metabolism to elevate to the highest peak possible. The stronger your metabolic rate....the more fat you'll burn!

My friend, I know what you're going through. You're tired of being scammed with those "fad diets" and "celebrity diets" out here today. Or your sick and tired of dieting and exercising and never getting anywhere. With this program, you WILL see results...quickly!

One more great thing about this diet is it's simplicity. Not only can you instantly download the program in just 30 seconds, the diet is also very easy to learn and do. No more restricting carbs and fats, no more starving yourself, no more fat loss and weight loss plateaus, just consistent and permanent weight loss with the Fat Loss 4 Idiots program.

Oh yeah, they currently have a 50% off coupon offer for a limited time. I'm not sure how long it's going to last though. Click below to download the diet and claim your 50% off coupon!

3 Tips On How To Stay Motivated To Lose Weight

2009-09-11T11:10:00.000-04:00

Are you having difficulties trying to stay motivated to lose weight? Do you find yourself starting and stopping diets on a regular basis and just can't seem to stay consistent? Well, read on and learn more about 3 primary things I did to motivate myself to stay consistent with my goals to lose weight and get the body I've always wanted....

1. Keep a journal: A journal of your daily diet and fitness will help you with accountability and motivation....because you'll see your progress day by day. I had one of those composition notebooks that I used to record the time of day I ate, what I ate, and the amount of calories I consumed.

2. Start your day healthy: I mean as soon as you wake up, do something healthy. Rather it be 10 minutes of quick exercises, drink a good amount of water, eat a piece of fruit, etc. Starting your day healthy will help you stay motivated to stay healthy through out the day and on.

3. Don't make dieting so complicated!: It's not as hard as most make it out to be! The biggest advice I can give you here is to stay away from "fad diets". That type of dieting (low carb, low fat, low calorie, celebrity endorsed, etc.) will make dieting miserable and very ineffective. The reason why those types of diets don't work is because you will be restricting calories and nutrients....that you actually NEED in order to lose weight effectively! Also, fad dieting will end up slowing down your metabolism.

A slow metabolism forces your body to store fat! If you want to get a faster metabolism and not have to worry about starving or depriving, then I recommend you tryout an easy diet plan called calorie shifting from Fat Loss 4 Idiots here.

4. BONUS tip: Have FUN! Life is too freaking short to be so strict with dieting and fitness! Spice up your health and fitness plan to make it fun and interesting. For example, for my cardio routine, I play basketball instead of getting on the treadmill, etc.

So, if you are looking for ways on how to stay motivated to lose weight, why not give those tips above a try and go make getting a better body stress free?!

Can't Lose Belly Fat? Find Out What You Could Be Missing To Get A Sexy Stomach Fast!

2009-09-02T09:41:00.000-04:00

The most common fat loss goal most want to work on is to lose belly fat, hands down! I remember constantly staring in the mirror at my fat belly and love handles in disgust wishing it would just go away! I fell into the common mindset that you needed to do crunches, sit-ups, get a crazy ab machine, eat low fat, low carb, low calorie, etc. to get a flat belly. I quickly found out that NONE of those things will consistently get rid of stomach fat.

There are many ways to shrink the midsection that are proven effective. However, the two most powerful methods are:

1. Get Proper Nutrition
2. Boost Your Metabolism...such as with this online fat loss system here.

Also, there are several ways you could PREVENT yourself from losing belly fat such as:

1. Using Diet Pills (You lose nothing but water weight and you will end up regaining that weight right back).
2. Fad Diets (Low carb, low fat, low calorie, etc.)

Now, there is something else that may be a very common reason people retain belly fat and have such a hard time getting rid of it....STRESS!

That's right, stress and anxiety can lead to the accumulation of belly fat and can also lead to it remaining even after doing proper dieting and fitness. This is due to the release of a hormonal chemical called cortisol. I don't want to get too medical and technical on you, but cortisol is released when we are under stress, anxiety, tension, or faced with some sort of danger.....hence the common term "adrenaline rush". Now, if too much of this chemical is being released (being stressed out frequently), it will then be stored as fat....especially around the midsection area!

A few things I recommend for you to do to relieve stress and help with losing belly fat would be:

1. Practice Yoga
2. Do breathing exercises (yes, doing breathing exercises can actually help you lose weight!)
3. High intensity exercises (sprinting, heavy bag boxing, shadow boxing, etc.). Check out this site here: Knockout Body System, for a killer shadow boxing exercise plan you can do right at home.

So, if you are having difficulties trying to lose belly fat, make sure you firstly avoid diet pills and fad diets. Secondly, look into things you can do to not only get proper nutrition and exercise, but also to reduce stress.

Good luck!

How Much Protein Should You Eat? Do You Really Need To Eat Protein?

2009-08-27T08:38:00.005-04:00

How much protein should you really get each day and do you really need it if you are not trying to build muscle? Read on to learn more...

To save you the suspense, YES, it's important to get protein every day. One of the most important benefits of protein is to protect muscle tissue. The more muscle tissue you have on you than fat, the more you're body will automatically metabolize and burn fat, the more energy you'll have, and of course...you'll look good (more toned)!

Now you don't have to go crazy and eat 1 1/2 grams of protein per pound of body weight like what bodybuilders do, but I do recommend you get at least 1/2 your body weight in ounces daily, and slightly more if you are actively weight training and doing intense exercising.

Here are 5 good sources of protein:

1. As far as meats: Lean chicken breast, tuna, salmon, and turkey breast.
2. Yogurt
3. Egg whites
4. Beans (Kidney, lentils, pinto)
5. Protein shakes

I recommend you get all of those sources above each day. Here's a sample meal plan:

Breakfast: Egg whites, whole grain toast, an apple, and a yogurt.
Mid morning meal: Protein shake with 1 piece of fruit.
Lunch: Tuna salad with egg whites.
Late Afternoon: Turkey breast wrap.
Dinner: Chicken breast, kidney beans, brown rice, and broccoli.
Dessert: Delicious protein shake blended with blueberries/strawberries!

Also, please remember, your body needs ALL sorts of nutrients and when you restrict or lower these nutrients, this will end up having an adverse effect too long to mention! So therefore, make sure you not only get plenty of protein, but also fiber, healthy fats (such as monounsaturated), and foods rich in vitamins and minerals (fruits and veggies).

This diet will have you lose 9 pounds of fat every 11 days simply by eating more frequently, and utilizing a proven diet secret called "shifting".

The Top 7 Things You Should NOT Do With Diet And Exercise

2009-08-22T11:31:00.000-04:00

If you have been looking for way's to lose weight and burn fat with diet and exercise, take a short break and learn more about 7 things you should NOT do with diet and exercise:

1. Do not restrict nutrients such as with those fad diets (low carb, low fat, low calorie, etc.) out here nowadays. Doing things like that will cause a reduction in your metabolism, a loss of energy, and so much more.

2. Do not follow someone else's diet. Everyone's body is unique and therefore will require a unique approach to diet and exercise.

3. Do not check the scale too much. Constantly checking the scale and not seeing the results you want could lead to a drop in motivation.

4. Do not have cheat days in the beginning of your diet. When you first start out dieting, you are more vulnerable to break your diet. That's why I highly recommend you don't have cheat days in the beginning as they could cause you to overdo it and give up on your dieting efforts.

5. Do not over-train. Starting out with an exercise plan, you may be excited and anxious to reach your goals and therefore could end up wanting to do as much of it as possible. This is extremely dangerous and can warrant some serious consequences. I highly recommend you take it easy and steady with your exercise plan. Also, be sure to consult your physician before beginning an exercise regimen to determine what type of exercising would be most beneficial for you based off of your current physical condition.

6. Do not starve yourself for fast weight loss....or at all for that matter! I know you may want to lose your pounds as quickly as possible, but please don't get caught up into the popular tactic of severely reducing calories (starvation) to lose weight fast. This is a surefire way to slow down your metabolism, lose energy, cause muscle loss, and many more health complications.

7. Do not diet temporary. Proper nutrition and exercise should be something you should do for life...not just for the duration of some diet plan to reach your goals. Once you reach your goals, STAY with a healthy lifestyle...for life.

So, if you are ready to get started on a diet and exercise plan, I highly recommend you take note of the 7 things you shouldn't do above before you begin. Those things above are things I learned through out my quest to lose weight and burn away fat...and let's just say...I learned the hard way! So, learn from mistakes and go get yourself the body of your dreams!

4 Easy Tips To Stop Getting Those Annoying Cravings!

2009-08-13T11:44:00.002-04:00

It's inevitable. When you start dieting, you more than likely at some point are going to get those annoying cravings that seem to pop up out of nowhere! You know what I'm talking about....there you are just sitting there watching T.V. after a hard day at work, and then next thing you know you're craving a candy bar, some ice cream, etc.! What do you do to stop getting those annoying cravings? Read on for 4 easy tips!

#1 - NEVER Restrict Yourself - It's okay to every now and then reward yourself with one of your "old" favorite foods. When you restrict yourself from NEVER having those "bad foods" ever again, you will more than likely give in and over indulge. The best thing to do is to go ahead and treat yourself once and awhile but just make sure you do so in moderation, and do not make a habit of it.

#2 - Eat 5-6 Small Meals Daily - Eating more frequently through out the day has a ton of benefits. You won't be hungry, you won't get cravings, you'll boost your metabolism (your digestive system will be working overtime and thus will cause your metabolic rate to increase), and so much more. Start with a hearty breakfast filled with protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, and then try to have a small meal every 2-3 hours thereafter.

#3 - Craving Sweet...Brush Your Teeth! - It's true! If you get a craving for something sweet, try brushing your teeth and using mouth wash. The sweetness from the toothpaste will help satisfy the sweet urges....and your dentist will love you!

#4 - GET IT OUT! - The most effective way to avoid falling into craving temptations is to not have anything in your house to crave! The only time you should have something in your home is if you are rewarding yourself (refer to #1). Now, this obviously could be an issue if you have other people living in your home who are not dieting. Since I have two children and a wife (who isn't dieting), what I do is still get snacks and other foods I wouldn't eat on a diet but that are not THAT unhealthy (animal crackers, pretzels, etc.). That way I won't fall into uncontrollable temptations to indulge in some craving.

So, if you seem to have difficulty trying to stay successful with your weight loss efforts due to annoying cravings, try one of those 4 tips above!

Get a Flat Stomach - Here's What To Do If It's Hard For You To Get A Flat Stomach

2009-08-09T16:12:00.000-04:00

Firstly, don't give up! Trying to get a flat stomach is fine, but more importantly, what you're "really" doing is vital....you're improving your overall health. Having excess belly fat could lead to some serious illnesses and complications down the line, so you should continue on your mission to lose that gut consistently.

Now, there are plans out there that will help you shrink your stomach quickly and easily without going through all the fad diet nonsense (low carb, low fat, low calorie, celebrity diets, diet pills, etc.). The fad diets that you see plastered all over the place are extremely ineffective and counterproductive. The reason why is simple: They will SLOW down your metabolism! If you experience a reduction in your metabolism, then your body will ultimately RETAIN fat instead of losing it!

The best and most effective type of diet I recommend for you to get is one that is based on providing your body with correct nutrition and boosting your metabolism (in other words, the complete opposite of a fad diet!). If you focus more on getting proper nutrition and increasing your metabolic rate, you will find it much more easier, quicker, consistent, and you'll get "permanent" results with your goal to get a flat stomach.

Now, as far as exercises are concerned, I recommend for you to focus on HIIT (high intensity interval training), and weight training.

HIIT exercising is shorter, more fun, more intense, will boost your metabolism, and will get you results in no time. An example of a HIIT exercise will be a sprint/power walk combo. You'll firstly start off by power walking for a few minutes and then every 2-4 minutes thereafter you'll sprint for 60 seconds. Do this for a total of 20-30 minutes for a great workout.
Weight training is absolutely vital to increase your metabolism. Not only will you experience a boost in your metabolic rate during the workout, your metabolism will stay running high and steady AFTER your workout....even while you sleep! This is because your body automatically repairs (as long as you get plenty of protein and water) muscle tissue after your workout, and this process increases your metabolism.
(*NOTE* - Be sure to consult your physician before beginning any type of fitness regimen.)

As far as the best diet to get a flat stomach is concerned, I highly recommend the calorie shifting diet from Fat Loss 4 Idiots. This diet is incredibly easy to do but yet very effective. The main point with this plan is to increase your metabolism to the maximum peak by providing you with 100% PROPER (no low carb, low fat, low calorie stuff!) nutrition. Check out my full review of this diet at http://www.FatLossIn11Days.info. Or, you could check out the official website at http://www.FatLoss4Idiots.com.

Remember, if you want to quickly, consistently, and easily get a flat stomach, then you firstly must never give up (because it could get a little tough every now and then), and secondly focus more on boosting your metabolism. Oh yeah, one more thing, ab exercises DO NOT REMOVE STOMACH FAT! Please, do not make the mistake in thinking that all you have to do is some ab crunches, or get one of those ab thing-a-ma-jigger machines out here today to flatten your belly. Remember, ab exercises TONE the muscles UNDER fat, you must get rid of the fat on top of the muscles in order for them to show.

GOOD LUCK!
