10-Minute Fat Loss Workouts

Wednesday, September 20, 2006

Last week I helped Men's Health magazine on a piece about getting workouts done fast. Personally, I think you can get a great body-changing workout done in minutes.



How fast?



I'm talking 10-minutes.



By now, I'm sure you're asking...



How do you lose fat in only ten minutes?



or



What about the rule that it takes 20 minutes of cardio before you start burning fat?



Well, first of all, as I have said before, the whole idea of a fat-burning zone or a magical fat-burning time period just doesn't fit with the common sense approach to fat loss.



People can lose fat without doing any cardio at all - so its clear that you don't have to workout for at least 20-minutes with your heart rate at 60% of your maximum heart rate. Fat loss is far simpler than that - and I'll show you some basic workouts below that crank your metabolism and help you burn calories when you are not exercising.



Second, the results of your training occur outside of the gym rather than during the workout. That's why the before-mentioned "increased metabolism" is so important. If you put the right "turbulence" on your muscles in 10-minutes, you can change your body - without even thinking about doing cardio.



So let's look at the first fat loss in a hurry workout - a 10-minute bodysculpting workout. Let's say you only have 10 minutes to do your workout today - what should you do?



In this case, you need to combine a warm-up, strength training, and interval training all into one. So our efforts are best put forward on bodyweight training.



And you don't have time for isolation work. Instead, you need to hit three "hot zones" on the body for maximum metabolism boosting: push muscles, pull muscles, and legs.



By doing so, you'll hit all the other muscle groups at the same time. So you'll do a circuit of soemthing like:



1A) Prisoner Squats (advanced option: 1-Leg Squats)



1B) Pushups (advanced option: Spiderman Pushups)



1C) Inverted Rows (advanced option: Pull-ups; easy option:
Stick-ups)



In the first round of this circuit, you'll go through it easy.
Perform 25% of the maximum number of reps you can do for each exercise. So if you can do 20 pushups, do only 5 in the first warm-up circuit. That's a warm-up circuit.



Then you'll do as many circuits as you can in the remainder of the 10 minutes. Just go back-to-back-to-back on these 3 exercises. You can rest after the rows/pull-ups for 30 seconds if necessary, but that's it.



You'll be pleasantly surprised with how you feel at the end of the 10-minutes. And your metabolism will be elevated for a much longer period than if you trained in the fat-burn zone for 10-minutes.



Okay, now here's another option, moving into some dumbbell work. The following superset trains the entire body, and focuses on the 3 hot zones.



1A) DB Squat (8 reps per set)



1B) DB Chest Press (8 reps per set)



Use light weights for one warm-up set, and then do as many sets as possible in 10 minutes for the rest of the workout.



In any case, if you find yourself with another 10 minutes, you can up the fat-burning ante by doing 10 minutes of intervals. This too is far more effective for fat loss and fitness than 10 more minutes in the "so-called" fat-burning zone.



Do 3-5 minutes of exercise-specific warm-up.



Then do your intervals for 30 seconds followed by 30-60 seconds of rest. Repeat 3-6 times. Then cooldown.



Okay, now let's get greedy and assume we have 30 minutes for our workout. We'll be close to getting maximum results with this "marathon" duration workout.



First, hit up the bodyweight circuit mentioned above. Do this twice, nice and easy. That will take 5 minutes off the clock.



Then move into your strength supersets. Following the lead above, you'll look to train the entire body with only 2 moves. It's not always easy, but fortunately you can do 2 supersets in this workout. The strength training will take about 15 minutes as you'll do 3 sets of 8 per exercise with no extra rest between sets - just long enough to switch exercises.



1A) DB Split Squat (If you have a barbell, use it instead of DB's)



1B) DB Row



2A) DB Romanian Deadlift



2B) DB Incline Press



Then finish with intervals. For this workout, try another program. Start with a warm-up, then do each "work" interval for 45 seconds, and rest 60 seconds between each interval. Do 4-6 rounds and finish with a cool-down, of course.



I could go on and on with these fast fat loss workouts...and of course I do, in the Turbulence Training e-book.



I'll follow up on this article in the future, passing along some of the exact Turbulence Training workouts that I use with my clients to get the most results in the least amount of time.



Until then, train hard, train safe, and train better than everyone else in the gym.



Sincerely,



Craig Ballantyne, CSCS, MS
Author, Turbulence Training



P.S. Is a lack of time stressing you out?



"No time to exercise" is the #1 reason most people don't exercise consistently. In fact, a lack of time stresses most people out for many reasons - whether it's a lack of time to prepare good food, exercise, or be with your family.



That's why I created Turbulence Training to be the most efficient and effective fat loss program out there.



The warm-up is applicable to your workout, not some 5-minute waste of time on the treadmill.



The strength training supersets shave minutes off your wait time.



And the intervals cut your cardio in half, or more.



"I think TT is awesome. I have seen a serious change in my overall body composition. In 12 weeks I've gained a lot of muscle and have lost about 10 lbs, but inches are flying off."
Gordon M.



"The TT workouts are excellent! You have literally changed my life! I got completely burned out on single body part training and long periods of cardio. It just isn't conducive to my life given that I work full time and have a spouse. I'm already lean but I want to maintain a high level of health and have a fit, athletic look. I have to admit that I was skeptical because the workouts were so short, but even after the first workout my skepticism disappeared in a hurry. The time flies by at the gym and the workouts have eliminated a lot of stress because if I got stuck at work and couldn't get to the gym for "leg day" it would mess up my training schedule for the rest of the week. I also like having the option to do some body weight circuits plus I have a full range of dumbells and a ball at home so I can get my workouts in at home."

Losing Weight, Without Losing Energy

If you need to lose weight, aim to lose body fat, rather than decreasing your muscle or 'lean body mass', or dehydrating yourself. If you control your food intake, you can lose weight in a sustained and controlled way. Ideally, you should aim to lose 0.5 - 1kg (1-2 lb) per week and, by eating a balanced diet, you should remain in good health.



If you are muscular and worry that you weight more than indicated on the weight / height charts prepared for the general public, be assured that muscle weighs more than fat. You may seem overweight compared with the average - but you may not need to lose any weight. If you are certain that you need to lose weight, it is best to tackle the problem in the off-season.



Guidelines to Losing Weight



- Eat less food that is high in energy and low in food value (e.g. alcohol, biscuits, cakes, chocolates, cordials, ice-cream, pastries, potato and corn crisps, snack foods, soft drinks)



- Never skip meals. You are more likely to binge if you are hungry or tired. If possible, eat small meals frequently



- Use low-fat dairy products instead of full cream varieties.



- Trim all visible fat from meat before cooking. Remove skin from chicken. Eat more fish.



- Use alternative, low-fat sources of protein such as cottage cheese and pulses (e.g. lentils).



- Grill and steam food rather than frying it in added fat. Roasts should be placed on a rack in a baking dish, so that any melted fat drips away during cooking.



- Avoid crumbed or battered foods.



- Cut down on butter and margarine on bread and toast and avoid gravies, dressings and sauces containing fat.



- Use herbs, spices, lemon juice or tomato juice to flavor your food, instead of fat.



- Make soups, casseroles and stews a day ahead. Allow them to stand overnight, and skim off any fat from the surface. The flavor of these dishes often improves with standing.



- Keep nutritious, low-kilojoule (calorie) snacks, such as carrots, celery and nutritious dips, ready in the refrigerator for when you are hungry.

How to Sleep Off Weight Along with your Hangover

You can lose a pound a day with no ill-effects.



You will feel fitter, brighter, healthier and more energetic too.



How? By using the biology that hibernating animals use.



Grizzly bears are brilliant at it. Hedgehogs are pretty good and badgers are excellent. They exploit their own clever biology to make the best of winter. Like them, we can use those long, dreary, depressing winter months to make our bodies work better! You’ll come to the spring a couple of stone lighter, feeling great and looking younger - positively blossoming in fact.



It’s for sure. Cast iron guarantee. You can take off a pound a day if you follow this simple lifestyle regime. You don’t need to join a gym or sweat yourself to a standstill. You don’t need to quit eating carbs or never touch butter again.



In fact, all you need to do is work with your own body instead of against it.



If you’ve ever felt you’d just like to bed down in a comfortable burrow for the entire winter, then please read on because in Scotland, we’re absolutely certain we’ve just come up with the ultimate lifestyle regime: The Hibernation Diet (Mike and Stuart McInnes with Maggie Stanfield, Souvenir Press £7.99).



Like so much in life from the blue mould on bread that led Alexander Fleming to discover penicillin to the GI diet’s recognising how foods that take longer to digest are more sustaining and less fattening, The Hibernation Diet is so obvious no one has spotted it.



“The biology has been staring us in the face for ages but nutritionists just haven’t noticed it,” says co-author and pharmacist, Mike McInnes. “They just don’t want the boat rocked and we’ve confronted that comfort zone. We’re encouraging the body to use its built-in fat burning mechanisms. We’re saying optimise your own system because the precision engineering of the human body is magnificent!”



When animals bed down for the winter, they prepare themselves. They get that nice burrow just right and make sure the environment is cosy and comfortable, but before all that housework, they fatten up. They lay up lots of store cupboard goods to live off for the cold season. The difference between them and us is that they store the food on themselves, within their own bodies.



For months, while they breathe nice and slowly and steadily and don’t have any exercise at all, they live off that stored fat. We all learned it at school, but maybe we didn’t think about the message that smart nature has for us.



There’s a whole lot of biochemistry going on of course and we don’t want to bore you or blind you with science. Besides, there’s no need. The main pillars of The Hibernation Diet are simple:



• HONEY: The food of the gods. Right from that old mathematician, Pythagoras, back in 580, we’ve known this was special stuff. Thing about it is that it’s the only food that perfectly combines glucose and fructose molecules in exactly the right way to provide fuel for your brain by fuelling your liver.



With your brain happy and well nourished, the rest of your body can get on with doing all those essential maintenance and repair tasks like rebuilding your skin, bones, hair, nails, muscles, organs, nerves, blood and so on. And what does it use to do all that hard work? Yes, your fat stores! But only so long as your liver and brain are happy. Read on…



• HEALTHY EATING: Yes, we know you’ve heard it before, but deep fried Mars bars and fish and chip pizzas are not the road to good health and a slim stature. Eat what you like but don’t narrow your options and do make sure you get a good balance of essential foods.



• HIBERNATION: We’ve already explained why hibernation matters but there’s another vital component: Sleep. When we sleep, like the animals, we live off our fat stores but only so long as our livers and brains are well fed. Hibernating isn’t the same as sleeping but there are common factors.



That clever bear goes into a special winter mode where he stores up special fuel to keep his brain fed and we humans can be just as smart if we fuel ourselves up at night so as to use our fat stores for energy. None of us is ever more than a few minutes from a coma. Our bodies have a very finely tuned and highly efficient chemistry and if we upset it, we are literally risking our lives.



Our brains are our biggest fuel consumer and it’s the organ that must keep going to keep us alive. We can shut down digestion, warmth, exercise, speech and a host of other non-essential functions, but without brain function, we’re dead in seconds. So making sure we keep our brains fed during sleep is as vital as making sure we get quality sleep in the first place. It’s by fuelling your liver up with honey before bed that you can do this. Only then can we use our own human biology to burn fat stores for our own recovery.



• HORMONES: Complicated things, hormones, but essentially, there are useful ones and dangerous ones. The dangerous ones stress us out, make us panic, sweat, have nightmares and feel wiped out in the morning.



We produce these adrenal hormones when our brains go into a panic about fuel: ‘Feed me!’ yells your brain. ‘No fuel!’ responds your liver because you’ve not eaten anything since tea-time. ‘Get some now!’’ orders your brain, so you start pumping out adrenal hormones to go and break down your muscles so as to release usable fuel for your liver to feed your brain.



It doesn’t make for relaxing sleep and it means you can’t burn up your fat stores to do all those nice friendly repairing and maintaining things to do with building new skin and bone.



• HEROIC RESISTANCE: You can help the process along with resistance exercise. This means you choose to take up some gentle resistance pushing and pulling. Not pounding the treadmill till you’re red in the face and sweating (which won’t burn more than half an ounce of fat an hour), but gently and repeatedly moving weights which will increase the speed at which you can burn your fat stores at night without producing stress hormones.



It’s not essential, but it will help things along and is well within the do-ability factor of anyone regardless of their overall fitness level. Lifting a can of beans out of the cupboard is a good start. Yoga, Pilates, cycling and floor exercise are all resistance work because they use your own body weight to work your system.



Most of the quack diets we’ve all been so consumed by are based on cutting out certain foods or food groups. The Atkins Diet excludes carbohydrates. The Combination Diet insists on us eating only certain types of food together. Macrobiotic diets cut out entire food types. Even the GI approach involves cutting out certain kinds of food.



We say take it with a pinch of salt! Our bodies need a variety of different kinds of food within a balanced diet. We aren’t advocating a burger and chips a day, but nor are we saying you can never enjoy a takeaway. Instead we’re telling you to work with your own body, not against it. Your body is your best friend and if you treat it kindly, it’ll never let you down. If you abuse it, then it’ll go off in an understandable huff!



So make sure your liver is fuelled up night and morning with a tablespoon of honey, eat sensibly and your body will do the rest for you.



Make the project more successful by building in some resistance work. It will still work without it, but 20 minutes three times a week will double the rate at which you burn fat up overnight. The book provides simple, no-gym exercises or you can use Pilates, Yoga, cycling and swimming as alternatives.



FED UP!
Keep that liver and brain happy with a tablespoon of honey night and morning. You can take it straight from the pot, in a hot drink or built into a smoothie or yoghurt-based drink. The book includes suggestions for these. You should drink two litres of water each day.



There are more menu choices in The Hibernation Diet but these will get you started.



Breakfasts

200ml Apple juice

120gm Muesli sweetened with one tablespoon of honey

200ml Semi-skimmed milk



Or



200 ml Tomato juice

200gm Porridge made with 200ml semi-skimmed milk

One Tablespoon of honey

One Poached egg

Two Rashers of lean grilled bacon

One Slice of wholemeal bread, toasted



Or



200gm Mixed fruit salad of apple and orange

One Tablespoon of honey

One Slice of whole meal bread, toasted

One Egg, poached or scrambled



Mid-morning

Choose from:

A small handful of nuts/seeds/dried fruit

A piece of (any) fruit

A few wholegrain bread stick snacks

A multigrain bar containing honey



Lunches

Make your own sandwiches! It’s cheaper and healthier. If you can nap somewhere for 10 minutes, you’ll find it transforms your afternoon.



Choose from:

200ml Fresh orange juice

Two Slices of wholegrain bread with tuna filling and side salad of grilled mushrooms, rocket and cucumber

One Piece of fruit of your choice



Or



200gm Fruit salad of apple and orange segments

120gm Basmati rice with lean ham and salad of tomatoes, kidney beans and raw sliced white cabbage

One Multigrain bar (no added sugar)



Or



200ml Fresh squeezed juice of any variety

Two Slices of wholegrain bread with lean chicken and grilled bacon with a salad of leaves, cucumber, tomatoes and 4 fresh dates



Blue time one: As you finish work

This is the time of day you are probably at your lowest ebb. It’s well worth having a little top-up on the way to the train, as you walk or in the car.



Choose from:

A small packet of dry roasted peanuts

A banana

A handful of mixed raw vegetables

Two crispbreads with low-fat cheese or honey

Grated carrot with a small handful of nuts and raisins

Sliced tomatoes with olive oil and black pepper

Sliced up apple with a small piece of low fat cheese



Blue time two: At home

Depending on how long it takes you, and certainly if you’ve an hour or more of a commute, then it’s worth your while repeating the Blue time snack now. You’ll be amazed how much more energy you’ll have. Rather than flopping on the sofa with a drink, you’ll feel brighter, happier and more convivial!



Dinner time

Your evening meal should be rich in vital nutrients and contain lots of fresh fruit/vegetables but it should never leave you feeling heavy and bloated. Be careful about portion size. Most of us eat far more than we need. Get a walk and/or perhaps some resistance exercise a couple of hours after you eat.



Choose from:

200ml Freshly squeezed fruit juice

150gm Organic salmon steak, grilled with a little olive oil and seasoning

150gm Fresh noodles mixed with a chopped fresh red pepper and black olives

Salad As much as you like of mixed fresh salad leaves, tomatoes, celery, cucumber, radishes, spring onions



Or



One Avacado pear filled with 100gm of fresh prawns and low-fat
Caesar dressing sprinkled with basil leaves

One Baked potato filled with mushrooms and onions chopped finely and fast fried in a pan using spray oil

Salad As much as you like made up out of fresh, seasonal salad
ingredients with an olive oil and Balsamic vinegar dressing



Or



200ml Freshly squeezed fruit or vegetable juice

150gm Roast organic lamb loin chops with roasted cherry tomatoes

150gm Couscous mixed with chopped green peppers, broccoli and carrots

One Low-fat yoghurt with 3 chopped apricots added



Bed time

One or two tablespoons of honey in the hour before you go to bed. You can have this as a hot drink with lemon and cloves, add it to mint or camomile tea, spread it on a slice of toast or a couple of crispbreads or add it to a pot of low-fat plain yoghurt. The book has lots of recipes for alternative drinks.



At night, you will sleep restfully – you should keep your room free of pollutant lights such as LCDs – and your body will be busily burning up your excess fat and carrying out all that essential maintenance and repair.



You won’t be dreaming about being slimmer and fitter. You’ll be doing it. You’re already on the road to working with that magical machinery that is the human body instead of fighting it.



It’s the beauty of our own biology we’ve been ignoring!

Diet to Fight Cellulite - Stop Cellulite Forever

Cellulite is hardened fat cells that have been trapped in the body’s network of muscle tissue and fiber. This tissue and fiber is constantly flushed by cleansing fluids through the day and the result is a very ugly bloated look. Diet to fight cellulite should include extra intake in fruit, vegetables, wholegrain, and beans. Reduce your consumption of coffee, tea, sugar, salt, and alcohol. Also avoid as much as possible taking processed and refined food that contain excess fat, sugar, or salt such as chips, chocolate, etc.



Fast Is Not Easy – Fast is Not Permanent



There are many gyms, weight loss experts and therapists who claim to have the wonder diet to get rid of cellulite in the body. No matter what they claim, one must remember that cellulite cannot go away overnight. It seems that it has come to stay. It can be gotten rid of completely and permanently too with the right diet to fight cellulite coupled by the right amount of exercise in the right quantity.



A general rule is that you should give cellulite the number of months of exercise as the number of years you have taken to develop the deposits. Trying to take some shortcut route to get rid of the fat will lead you nowhere. Many people may succeed in riding themselves of the cellulite deposits but only to find it back where it was in the first place. Only this time it never took so long to develop.



Cellulite deposits can be lowered or done away with completely with the right nutrition through diet and the right amount of exercise. Such a routine will, over a period of time, definitely reduce the cellulite deposits by metabolizing the fat stores for energy. The cellulite volumes will be considerably reduced if not completely eliminated.



Diet Is the Best Way



Your diet should consist of a lot of fiber and whole grain foods. This provides the system with plenty of roughage needed for the system to clean itself. In addition to this fresh fruits and vegetables do not allow the formation of fat tissue. Consumption of alcohol in any form causes the cellulite deposits in the body to increase dramatically. It is the case with stress as well. . Many people take to eating when they are stressed out. Some meditation in such cases has proven to be a great help to reduce food intake for those wanting to reduce weight.



With all said and done, following a good fat free diet and drinking plenty of fluids in addition to walking briskly for at least thirty minutes every day will bring the results you are looking for. It is equally important to stick to this routine if you do not want the cellulite deposits to return.




Plan your diet to reduce cellulite effective. Read more information on cellulite

Weight Loss Supplements

Looking for a quick fix from a miracle weight loss drug will probably do more harm than good to your weight loss goals. A good weight loss program may include natural weight loss products or meal supplements in the form of nutritional shakes, however it is to the dieter’s peril that a weight loss diet is



There is no such thing as sustainable fast weight loss, and as such you should try to get as much weight loss information as possible before embarking on any plan of action. As a consumer it is vital that you try to determine the honesty behind a weight loss product’s marketing strategy. If a product offers a 100 percent success rate, they must be lying. It is perhaps best that you get all the information on a product and then consult your doctor or dietician in order to get a qualified opinion.



You should be especially suspicious of a marketing campaign which complains of the medical profession snubbing the product. Appetite suppressants and hormone injections are seldom recommended my medical experts, as their effect is questionable and they come with risks of their own.



Meal replacement shakes are becoming more and more popular. When exploring this avenue of weight loss, again you should make sure of your product. Some products may seem to be highly effective, and weigh loss may occur, but it is very possible that it is not fat that you are loosing, but rather water. For more detailed information on meal replacements you should consult a dietician. Any product with too much sugar and too little carbohydrates will be damaging to your diet.



Prescription weight loss drugs usually rely on appetite suppression, although there is a drug known as Xenical which interferes with the body’s ability to absorb fat, reducing the fat intake of the body by up to 30 percent. The side effects of this drug include cramping, flatulence, discomfort of the intestines, diarrhoea and leakage of oily stool.



Appetite suppressants such as a drug called Merida act by increasing certain chemicals in the brain which reduce your appetite. This drug can cause increased blood pressure and raise your heart rate, so is not advisable for those suffering from heart problems. Other side effects include headaches, constipation, insomnia and a dry mouth.



Probably the best approach to losing weight is to adjust your eating patterns, but the easiest way to lose weight and maintain a healthy body is to make space in your life for fun activities which give you exercise, such as hiking, running, cycling or going to gym. If you have a medical problem which affects your metabolism then it is best to consult a doctor and dietician in addressing the problem.

Ten Weight loss and Diet tips

There are many products on the market which promise fast weight loss, but at the end of the day it is through a healthy lifestyle and eating pattern that you will be most successful in losing excess weight. The following list of helpful healthy diet tips will hopefully help point you in the direction of your weight loss goal.



Remember that there is no easy answer as promised by those punting “free fast diet tips,” or “secret celebrity diet tips revealed for the first time!” Rather the best diet tip may be to be patient and eat responsibly; it takes time to lose weight if you are going to do it in a sustainable manner.



Ten Tips:



1. Done responsibly, losing 11 lbs will take about two months. It you lose weight too quickly you will lose muscle as well. Loosing weight too quickly can also fool your body into thinking that it is starving, which will slow down the metabolic rate and make it harder to lose weight, and easier to gain weight when if give in to a craving.



2. Eat your favourite foods, just cut the portions down if you find them to be damaging to your diet. At the end of the day, all things are good in moderation.



3. Eating at a more leisurely rate also helps. Try chewing your food for longer, giving your body the time to acknowledge the incoming food. If you eat quickly you sometimes stuff yourself before your body knows that it is actually sufficiently replenished. In other words, if you eat slower it will take less food to satisfy your hunger, and you will be less prone to overindulgence.



4. Plan your meals, never allowing chance to dictate your diet. This will keep you on top of things, lessening the chance of eating badly on the spur of the moment.



5. By making small changes to your daily diet you can cut off 1 000 kilojoules per day, resulting in the loss of 0.55 lbs per week.



6. Eat more fruit, as fruit contains usable carbohydrates packaged in fibre, which serves to level your blood sugar levels and helps resist unnecessary fat storage. Try fruit and yogurt as a snack.



7. Reducing the amount of fat you use in preparing your meals gives you an allowance for taking in more healthy fat, like light olive oil in your pasta sauces. Try to bake, boil or steam your food instead of frying it in fat and oil.



8. Vegetables are good; it is very difficult to eat too many vegetables. They provide vitamins and are full of fibre, so they satisfy your hunger with fewer kilojoules.



9. wo cans of cool drink add 1200 worthless kilojoules to your day’s intake. Try drinking water instead, even the seemingly healthy fruit juices are full of sugar you don’t really need.



10. Eat the most important meal of the day; breakfast. Yes, here is a diet tip that the American National Weight Control Registry finds to be about the only diet tip which is consistent amongst their database of rock-stars who have lost weight and maintained their new bodies for three years or more.




Everyone would love some Diet Tips that really work, different tips will work for different people.

Hoodia, Fat and Calories - The Unique Weight Loss Connection

One of the biggest questions in this industry continues to be, What Are the Most Effective Diet Pills? To avoid being highly subjective when answering this question, we give you the following facts:



According to the highest professional sources in the United States, Canada, and Great Britain, no diet pills or nutritional supplements can guarantee that you will lose weight. Here is why. Losing excess body fat is a complex matter that involves a myriad of factors such as heredity, body composition, stature, gender, age, and personal habits. Yet, the most important three factors for hopeful weight loss candidates are:



One: Finding the motivation to begin, progress, and maintain successful fat burning lifestyle habits.



Two: Knowing exactly which fat burning exercises to perform and exactly HOW to perform them.



Three: Gaining bona fide nutritional knowledge, understanding it, plus enhancing it on an ongoing basis.



Suffice it to say that thousands upon thousands of people can benefit from getting professional assistance with these matters. This is not because of weakness or indifference, but simply because of the prolific, yet simple statement you are reading above. That is, WEIGHT LOSS IS A COMPLEX MATTER.



And the latter includes your personal investigation into why and how nutritional or weight loss diet supplements are supposed to help you and exactly when they will do it.



It takes some serious know-how to lose body fat. Losing weight also takes increasingly heightened awareness. Lastly, to lose body fat triumphantly for both the short term and the long term, you must couple technical expertise along with your emotional power!



If you're trying to improve your appearance, performance, or body fat percentage, today is going to be a very helpful day for you because Better-Body.Biz has investigated your requests and created customized, win-win solutions for your body fat worries.



See www.Better-Body.Biz/Hoodia-Fat-Calories-Special.htm for more detail.



In the meantime, you can make your weight loss attainment even easier and far more practical by reassessing it periodically. For example, consider what a normal fat burning goal should be. Why are most people shocked to discover that HUGE amounts of weight loss eventually turn out to be a big waste of time? This primarily stems from lack of knowledge and awareness about how the body processes saturated fat.



Weight Loss Diet Surprise



There are more than seven steps that food must follow before you have the slightest chance of metabolizing it. Do you know what these steps are? If not, find out as soon as possible because virtually every body fat procedure you adopt WITHOUT this knowledge can be purely wasted effort.



Surprisingly, you only need to lose about one single pound of body fat every week! Small amounts of fat loss, not huge CHUNKS, is the proper way to get dependable, reliable, and safe weight loss success. Ironically, your body already knows this, but your mind may still be stuck in a very doubtful stage. One of your new body fat goals is to change or undo that frozen, knowledge-voided state.



Body Fat and Calorie Control Success



In successfully training hundreds of individuals to lose body fat and become much better performers who actually feel better and look better too, I cannot help but notice a developing body fat awareness pattern. In the beginning, individuals are slightly reluctant to accept, believe, or attempt to learn new weight loss ideas because of the personal connection they might have with issues of personal comfort and lifestyle adjustment.



However, after giving one or two supervised ideas a whirl, noticeable body fat changes begin to occur. And, these are changes that the candidate continues to own for themselves because it is THEY who make the necessary modifications. Such alternations become part of a new and beneficial lifestyle pattern.



Want to know one of the best diet secrets?



Body fat needs a good WHOOPING every once in a while. And, the absolutely best way to BEAT body fat is by improving your knowledge about it. For example, saturated fat is a very smart enemy. It already knows how to attack, where the best places are to hide on your body, plus exactly when the right time for expansion and growth exists.



YOU MUST SLEEP, but saturated fat almost NEVER takes a break. Considering this fact, there is no wonder why you may wind up being slightly overweight. It only means that body fat has the advantage over you. Yet, who says you cannot turn the tables around?



Dependable Body Fat Solution
In summary, here is your body fat solution...



A - Heighten your awareness of saturated fat's operation.



B - Acquire expert assistance, if and when you cannot perform these actions on your own, because certified weight loss consultants also possess training and supply you with assistance in psychological, motivational, and emotional factors.



C - Realize that losing excess body weight involves at least the three following factors, and get started on dealing with all three in some way, shape, or form:



One: Toning up your muscles to improve metabolic fat burning activity.



Two: Eating foods that do not counteract your success, plus, consuming them OFTEN enough to cause weight loss impact.



Three: Leaning, knowing, and applying the differences between aerobic, high intensity interval training, and targeted heart rate training exercises to maximize fat burning application and activity.

Your Guide To Herbal Weight Loss

Health is wealth, so goes the saying. But too much health brings hell wrath!



Well, health doesn’t mean belly pouring out or plump checks; rather fitness with stamina and disease free body is what marks a healthy body. The lethargic living of present day and a number of diseases are due to a fetish gain of weight. This is called “obesity” which is a result of extra proportion of fat in your body. The problem of obesity takes its roots from your wrong eating habits and you cannot get rid of it even after starving for four days!



Nearly 119 million of Americans are either overweight or obese. Obesity is the major reason behind many diseases related to heart, diabetes and blood pressure problems. Thus these people are really conscious for losing “extra” weight. To get rid of the corpulent accumulation of fats these people can go literally to any heights!



The most popular method tried so far has been the herbal weight loss program. The herbal weight loss program includes many supplements like patches for skin, intravenous injections, oral pills, herbal tea and many other herbal products.



The herbal medicines are extracted from the natural herbs and clinically prepared in the form of medicines. They are genetically engineered to reduce the fats by either burning them down in body metabolism or throwing out of the body as excretion products in organic forms. These medicines intervene with the metabolism of the human body and burn the extra calories. Now with so many products marketing and increasing business has raised certain questions in the use of these herbal weight loss medicines.



· Are they really effective?



· Do they pose harmful side effects?



· Are they better than simple home remedies?



The answer to the first question is that they are effective to some extent. Many people have got good results in many countries with these herbal weight loss solutions while some other people have even complained about their incompetent nature. Things work out different in different bodies. We can try to alter natural processes but nature too is stubborn sometimes. Hence herbal medicines which particularly suit your genes work better for you indeed.



Secondly many people say that herbal medicines are not chemical in nature which is rather a ridiculous comment. Every living object is organic in nature and organic products simply mean chemical combination reaction products.



Anything which is made from herbs doesn’t mean it is not toxic or is free of side effects. The extracts of the herbs may sometimes cause some allergies in some people. Now why cannot we digest grass? Simply because, our digestive juices cannot digest cellulose!



So try those herbal medicines that have recommendations by the FDA or other recognized clinical certificate. They are harmless and they are effective in their ways.



Combined with some other home remedies, the herbal methods will work wonders to fight obesity. You can include abs stretching and exercising, yoga and good eating as a part of your life to have early results. For example, honey mixed with lime cuts down fat; vegetables like cabbage, tomatoes help in better in synthesizing fats. Avoid bad habits like smoking and junk foods intake. These practices are easy to implement and body friendly for weight loss.



Whatever product you choose to lose your weight, make sure they don’t contain ephedra and are without any caffeine or harmful stimulants. Otherwise herbal products are safe to use and they are effective in losing body weight.



You can also try herbal tea which has been more effective not only to lose body weight but also to ensure a healthy way of living. Simple use of herbal weight antidote either in the form of pills or injection or patches won’t work for you. So judicially combine some physical exercises and sports to your daily activities.



Try to walk a mile every day. If it is not possible always, try at least three-four days a week. Maintain a healthy diet intake, free from saturated fats and take more fruits and vegetables to keep the nightmare called “obesity” at bay.
