New Year Weight Loss Plan

How can you make you make your weight loss resolutions successful. Here are 8 steps that may help.

1. Educate Yourself About Weight Loss

What is it that you are after? Are you interested in just dropping digits on the weight scales? Or are you interested to achieve a sexier and better defined body. A well defined body can only be achieved by losing fat. As such, ensure that all of your weight loss comes from fat loss. Your resolution should be focused on weight loss that comes from losing fat.

2. Do Not Make a Half Hearted Weight Loss Resolution

Make sure you really want it with all your heart. How much are you willing to sacrifice for it? You cannot gain something of value without sacrifice.

3. Do Not Make a Resolution That is the Spur of the Moment

Just because everyone else is trying to lose weight or because its trendy during the New Year, does not mean that you should do the same. Following the crowd for the sake of it will not take you very far.

4. Tell Others About Your Weight Loss Resolution and Become Accountable

Tell others what you want to achieve. This keeps you accountable. You will be more likely to be honest to your word if you know others are watching. Tell others how much fat you want to lose.

5. Have a Plan to Follow Through with Your Weight Loss Resolutions

Have a concrete plan to lose weight or get fit. For instance, how many days a week are you going to exercise. When are you going to exercise. Plan your meals. Without a plan, there is no possible way that you are going to be able to achieve anything.

6. Make Sure That Your Weight Loss Resolutions are SMART

Your resolution must be Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Time Based. This is the only way to make your goals work. For instance, your weight loss SMART resolution could go like this;

“I want to lose 20 pounds of fat within the next 6 months”.

Note that the goal is fat loss and not weight loss. Any weight loss that is attributed to fat loss is sustainable. The American College of Sports Medicine advocates fat loss of 1 to 2 pound per week. As such, losing 20 pounds of fat in 5 months is healthy, realistic and attainable.

7. Write Your Weight Loss Resolutions Down

Writing your resolutions down is the single biggest step you could take to move you closer to success. Write down how much of fat you want to lose within a year.

8. Break Down Your Weight Loss Efforts into Smaller Steps

Plan what you are going to do in the coming week. Plan your meals for tomorrow. Target to lose at least 1 pound of fat in a week. Break down the larger goals into smaller steps that you could bite into.

9. Create a Support System

Get the support of the people closest to you. You will need the support of your spouse. Losing weight is going to be tough and you are going to need all the support you can get.

10. Keep Track of Progress

Be diligent of recording your journey. This way, you can look back in retrospect and ascertain why your efforts are working or not working. Keep a diary as this is the best thing that you can do to move you closer to your weight loss goals.

Simple Weight Loss Tips

For many years now, the number one New Year's resolution has been weight loss, and it seems like it hasn't changed this year (2010).

I was watching some television over the holidays and many shows had surveys regarding your number one New Year's resolution. And overwhelmingly, the number one answer was losing weight. Does that surprise you? Well, if you're like me, it should not be a big surprise, since obesity is running rampant over our culture.

It don't have to look very far to see how fat we, as a society have become, and I'm not immune to this phenomenon. Yes, that's right I could stand to lose a few pounds, especially after all of the holiday parties. So, how do we get started to shed those unwanted pounds? Well, Brazos Minshew, Chief Science Officer of TriVita, has written an article for the TriVita Weekly Wellness Report giving us some simple and effective ways to to lose weight. I posted the article in its entirety.

How to Jump-Start Your Weight Loss by Brazos Minshew

Weight loss is the number one "resolution" people make when they decide to improve their health. When weight loss occurs it comes from a loss of body mass: water, fat, lean body tissue and bones. Wouldn't it be great to focus weight loss on fat only? It certainly would. In fact, weight loss that selectively targets fat and preserves or increases lean body tissues and bones is the only way to permanently lose weight.

Sounds difficult, right? Well, don't worry: We have a solution!

Suicidal weight loss
Many people lose weight rapidly by starving themselves. I call this suicidal weight loss for three reasons:

1. Rapid weight loss is water loss; water loss is dehydration and dehydration is death.
2. Rapid weight loss comes from lean body tissue (brain, heart, muscle, collagen, etc.). Sarcopenia (age-related loss of lean body tissue) is death.
3. Rapid weight loss comes from bone. Bone loss is osteoporosis; osteoporosis kills more women in North America than breast cancer!

Rapid weight loss by starving yourself is slow suicide.

Lifetime weight control
An alternative to this kind of weight loss madness is to select a strategy that focuses on weight loss from fat only. This is not done by accident. We must select fat loss by choice. This choice implies knowledge; knowledge means that we must learn the lesson of obesity and battle it for the rest of our lives.

Calories - Obesity in simplistic terms is about consuming more calories than you burn in a single day. Multiply these extra calories over time and you have what we all see: an obesity epidemic. However, it is not merely the number of calories we eat; we must include the right kind of calories for lifetime weight control. Organizations such as the American Heart Association and the America Cancer Society recommend eating 5 to 9 servings of fruits and vegetables daily (5 for children, 7 for women and 9 for men). These are the best calories.

Movement - Our body is made to move. Daily exercise is necessary for lifetime weight control and targeted fat loss. Aerobic training for 30 minutes on most days of the week and weight training (resistance training) 2 to 5 times per week will keep the fires of your metabolism burning fat.

Other tips:

• Deep breathing for 20 minutes daily reduces fat-building hormones like cortisol.
• Get your sleep: The less you sleep, the more you will weigh.
• Eat small meals: Eating more than 400 calories at a single meal causes our cells to suffocate from insulin.

Why supplementation is important
Taking certain supplements can help you lose weight, but you really have to be careful! One supplement that was heavily advertised on television was shown to cause 74% weight loss from lean body tissue. Another supplement that seemed to be the most popular weight loss supplement of the time caused 55% lean body loss. That is suicidal weight loss!

Beneficial supplements exist. For example, Leanology Weight Loss Capsules were studied in a top-of-the-line, scientific clinical trial through Arizona State University. They were shown to reduce weight entirely from fat! Yes, 100% of the weight loss came from fat!

Also, the plant antioxidant ECGC (found in Energy Now!) can increase metabolism by over 200 calories per gram.

My favorite fat loss supplement to "jump-start" a weight loss program is Vital C. This is primarily because of the nature of fat: a toxic dumping ground for chemicals and poisons your body could not eliminate. Vital C is a pH-balanced form of ascorbic acid (Vitamin C). Ascorbic acid neutralizes many of the toxins we store in our fat cells. For rapid weight loss that targets fat cells, use a Vitamin C Flush, Energy Now! and, especially, Leanology.

Conclusion
Good health only comes from healthy living. Take time to learn the rules of healthy living. Practice healthy habits every day. Soon, the "deposits" you make into your health account will begin to yield real dividends: a lean body functioning at peak efficiency!

Got B\'s?

Got B's what are you talking about? Well, I am referring to a prestigious group of hard working nutrients that are essential to your bod, the "B" vitamin family and their star B-12. Which by the way is responsible for increased, sustainable energy, a fantastic disease fighter and so much more, all by itself!

B vitamins as I mentioned above are a powerful alliance when enough of these little guys are absorbed into our body. Unfortunately, we don't always get the recommended amounts according to the Food and Drug Administration in our daily diet. There are many factors that contribute to a lack of these key nutrients. It isn't always due to a bad diet, even if we do eat right, such things as toxins in our soil, toxins in our air, are solid road blocks in delivering just what we need.

So who are these B's anyway?

* Vitamin B1 (thiamine)
* Vitamin B2 (riboflavin)
* Vitamin B3 (niacin or niacinamide)
* Vitamin B4 (adenine)
* Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid)
* Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine, pyridoxal, or pyridoxamine, or pyridoxine hydrochloride)
* Vitamin B7 (biotin)
* Vitamin B9 (folic acid)
* Vitamin B12 (various cobalamins; commonly cyanocobalamin in vitamin supplements)

These water soluble vitamins are essential to cell metabolism. When you get the whole gang together you have a B Complex ready to rival the likes of irregular heartbeat, heart failure, memory loss and other cognitive deficits to name a few.

 

So, just how can you be sure you are getting the recommended dosage in order to keep the B's buzzing for optimal health? Since we already know that many of the healthy foods we eat, some containing a rich source of a specific B vitamin doesn't always deliver, taking supplements can help assure you are doing all you can. However, there is one particular vitamin I mentioned earlier, the star of show, remember, B-12? Well B-12 even if conditions are right and you received a proper dose of it either through foods or supplements, doesn't always get absorbed. You see the older we get, the less B-12 is absorbed into our bodies. This star B-12 for maximum delivery, maximum results, must be taken sublingually or better known as under the tongue. Taking it like many other supplements by swallowing B-12 isn't the way this super "B" works!

Since Mother Nature can't always provide us with the most nutritious foods these days, sometimes we need a extra helping hand to reach our goals of optimal health. So remember to get your daily "B's" and don't forget good old B-12 taken sublingually! Your body will thank you!

How about a FREE sublingual B-12 Gift of Health, kind of like a FREE test drive to this amazing suppliment sublingual B-12. Simply click here and fill out the form for Your Free B-12 Gift of Health!

Weight Loss - Cleansing

Many people focus only on losing the weight and once they reach their targets, generally go back to original eating patterns and habits. They are caught unawares when a few years later the weight scales tell them that they are back where they started before the massive weight loss.

According to the Centre for Nutritional Studies at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, on average, dieters are likely to regain 17% of their weight loss after 2.7 years.

The study investigated 602 individuals who have taken the weight loss program organized by the Centre one to five years before the survey. It was found that the percentage of weight bounced back increases with the time lapsed after taken the program. For those who have taken the program one year before, the percentage is 18 per cent. But if it is five years before, the percentage increases to 61 per cent.

Of 602 cases under studies, only 12 per cent did not have their weight rebound, 49 per cent regained 1 to 25 per cent of their original weight loss while 39 per cent with weight rebound 26 per cent or more which is beyond the acceptable range.

For those with rebounded weight within the acceptable range (i.e. 25 per cent or less of their original weight loss), the study found that:

• 82% regularly checked their weight
• 79% sought professional advice regularly
• 75% stuck to the assigned food quota
• 73% kept on doing moderate exercise after shedding fat
• 63% kept diary on daily food intake

Those in this group also were noted to have lost their weight in accordance with the healthy weight loss guide of 1 pound per week.

To read more on this study, go to www.bignews.biz . The article is titled 17 per cent of weight loss bounced back after 2.7 years.

It is my believe that keeping rebound weight gain at bay is far more difficult than losing the weight initially. This is also because when we start on a program, we are motivated to shed the unwanted pounds and get on the routine of exercise. Once we have lost the weight, we tend to settle back to old habits and patterns, thus regaining the weight we have lost. This takes us back to the fact that a total lifestyle change needs to be made. Therefore we should not treat it as a program we are going on but something that we are going to keep with us for life. Only then can we lose the weight and keep it off.

Another important factor is healthy weight loss as compared to rapid weight loss. Healthy weight loss of 1 pound a week is sustainable. It gives the body time to adjust to the new weight set point. On the other hand, rapid weight loss may be just water loss or water and muscle loss.This type of weight loss is usually not sustainable. Therefore, a person is more likely to experience rebound weight gain.

Weight Loss

So your New Years resolution was to improve your health and wellness by going on a diet. The rush to the Mecca of yearly weight loss attempts is upon us and with many solutions out

When the word diet comes to mind, the phrase calorie deprivation can always be associated with something that asks you to take in fewer calories than your body needs to sustain basic metabolic function. You can lump ninety nine percent of the commercial diets in there as well as the diet centres. Just look at all of the repeat customers who believe it worked for them in the past. Here are five empowering truths about your typical diet that will hopefully steer your vehicle of weight loss ambition down another path and have you place the blame on the diet and not your lack of willpower or ability to commit.

1. The scale lies! The only thing the scale can do and do very well is tell you how many pounds you weigh under gravity at any given moment; that's it! It cant distinguish between fat, muscle, bone, organ or water weight. So when the diet counselor announces, Denise has lost 5 pounds her first week, she has lost three things: The first is what most of us now know and that's water, which is meaningless in the pursuit of long term weight loss yet a wonderful trick to make you think its working. The other two things are some fat and some muscle. One of those you want to lose the other you definitely do not.

2. Your body backs off on thyroid hormone production. Your body is a wonderful machine that is down right ignorant to what you are trying to do. Yeah, you know you are trying to lose weight but your body thinks you are starving so in an effort to slow things down and conserve fuel, it backs off production of these metabolic regulators to get your body better at burning fewer and fewer calories.

3. Your body begins to feed off of its own muscle tissue. This is bad, but yet so good for your morale because even when you lose muscle the scale says keep it up, its still working. Muscle is the actual location where fat is burned and where the bulk of the calories are burned within your body (even at rest). So in the bodys continuing effort to slow things down, it sees muscle tissue as a calorie burning liability and begins to literally eat away at its own calorie burning furnace. So would it make sense to slowly cripple your bodys ability to burn fat effectively by depriving it of calories and forcing it to feed off of its own muscle? Nope.

4. Your body is priming itself for fat storage. Now that you've compounded a slower thyroid with a loss in muscle mass, your body is now able to survive off of fewer calories. But since your body thinks it is starving it needs some stored fuel for survival. Its nothing more than a protective mechanism that's been around since humans first walked the earth so in an effort to conserve fuel your body is producing more of an enzyme called lipoprotein lipase which primes your fat cells for storage. Why? Because fat is the source of fuel your body can survive off of the longest.

5. Your brain eventually sends out neurotransmitters that force you to give in and blow the diet. The binge; its the point where you cant take it anymore. Willpower (so you think) is shot and that one little cookie turns into everything the pantry and refrigerator has to offer. Heres the a-ha. It has very little to do with willpower but instead is a physiological response that drives you to the quickest source of energy; sugar and enriched carbohydrates. Why? Because your body is saying you need energy to find food you moron, you're starving. Those neurotransmitters are also driving you to the source of fuel you can live off of the longest; fat. Couple that with a body that's primed to readily convert simple sugars and enriched carbohydrates into fat and you have a bathroom scale that's going to be a ticking time bomb for delivering emotional distress about five to seven weeks after you began the diet.

Look, diets do not work for human beings if long term weight loss is the goal and this is further evidenced by Americas forever expanding waistlines. Theres no need to keep citing statistics; just look around. In a 50 billion dollar fitness and weight loss industry that almost always fails to give you what you pay for and then has you blaming yourself for failing, it is vital to understand that a diet is a flawed approach that willpower and commitment have very little to do with. Lack of commitment will only be a limiting factor to your success when you do have the right approach and a diet is not one of them. So this New Year, make a resolution to NOT go on a diet but instead to find a solution that will allow you to take control of the way you look and feel this year and the rest of the years to follow!
