Stomach Fat - How To Burn It Off Quickly

By Mark Walters

Ask yourself - why do you have stomach fat? This question isn't meant as a criticism, but is rather meant to get you to think about the lifestyle choices that you have made in the past.

Excess stomach fat is not an uncommon problem. It can be got rid off though, by focusing on two important issues: 1) Exercise 2) Eating habits.

Your stubborn belly fat can result from a lack of exercise. Are you strictly keeping to the recommended 30 minutes of exercise, 5 days a week?

Should you not be doing so, then this is a good place to start your attempts to burn off your excess stomach fat. Without regular exercise, your progress will only be minimal at best.

Your eating habits are another obvious area to analyze. Do you consume more calories than your body needs to function? One way to determine this is to consult a chart on your basal metabolic rate. If you find that you're eating more calories than your body needs to function, add that to the list of considerations.

You may be suffering from a very low metabolic rate due to lack of proper nutrition. This can lead to some people being overweight even though they only eat one or meals per day. The science behind this is that the human body adapts to poor nutrition and irregular eating schedules by storing up food as fat, because it doesn't know when it will be receiving food again. It's part of the natural human survival instinct.

So, if you are one of those who falls within the profile of poor eating habits and lack of exercise, then, unfortunately, you have only yourself to blame for your current body shape. The goods news though is that it is 100% possible to reverse the damage that you have done up until now.

To burn stomach fat from your body, you simply have to do the opposite to what you have been doing. A combination of improving your metabolism, by eating small frequent meals, and daily aerobic and strength training workouts, will see you getting visible results quickly. If you strictly stick to your new program, within a week you should see a reduction in your belly fat.

It is all easier said than done, but rest assured that once you settle into a comfortable routine that suits you, then you'll naturally build momentum and motivation when you start to see your body shape up the way you wanted it to. - 29161

For Men Only: Get Rid of that Beer Belly and Still Drink Beer

By Dorthy Weatherbush

Men are you sick of hearing about how fine you used to be and how the only thing fine about you now is the wine that you drink? If the answer is yes, that is all about to change, as I can show you how to get rid of your beer fat without ever having to give up the beer! But let's get down to business by discussing what a beer belly really is and understand what really causes it.

So, what is a beer belly? A beer belly is defined as a lump of fat thats taken up residence between your chest and what used to be your waist. Is it caused by beer? No. Science has proven the beer belly is fat caused by calorie build up, resulting from unhealthy diets and sedentary lifestyles. The abdomen is where men have their greatest deposit of fat cells so, if the body takes in a lot of calories and neglects to burn them through exercise, the body deposits that fat right in your stomach.

Now that you know where your beer belly reallly comes from (probably that fried chicken you've been eating) you get start figuring out what you, if anything, you are going to do to get back in shape. You can begin by working on the fat cells that are multiplying in your stomach. While beer is not the direct cause of your belly, it can contribute. Alcohol can make you hungrier (think about your last time at happy hour at a local bar). So if you stopped drinking as much, you'd be taking a step in the right direction.

Get rid of the beer and you also get rid of the increased appetite. However, this article is about losing weight without getting rid of the beer, so that will not be included in our weight loss efforts. But you can switch to a lighter beer with fewer calories and in addition you can exercise more than you drink so that you are burning more calories than you are drinking. Some of you may think that exercising extensively is too much hard work, so that won't be included in our diet program either. But we will look at the best beers for your belly.

So the first thing that comes to your mind when I say low calories is all those light beers that taste likewell you know, but How to Get Rid of the Beer Belly without Giving Up Beer is for real men who would never think of ordering one of "them there sissy light beers."

First we have the nice and dark Guiness Draught; this beer is not light and with only 125 calories and 10 carbs, you don't have to worry about your belly. It's also full of flavor so you don't have to drink tons to make up for a bad taste. Second we have Beamish Irish Stout; it's light on calories with only 131. Finally, we have Busch which only has about 133 calories and around 10 carbs. So drink responsibly and get rid of that gut!

So now you have the key to getting rid of your beer belly without having to but down the bottle. So the next time your wife or girlfriend tells you to get off the couch and lose some weight, go grab yourself another cold one, pop the bottle open and tell her you're working on it now! - 29161

Three Helpful Weight Loss Tips

By Rebecca Nolans

This has been a really interesting year for me. I've lost my job and I've had some great weight fluctuations. What started out on a bad note has ended on a positive one.

Earlier this year, I ended up spending a lot of time indoors after I lost my job, and I ended up gaining 30 pounds in about 8 months. I couldn't believe this, as I had never weighed this much before in my life.

Not knowing what to do, I realized that it had subtly happened as I snuck in some extra snacks and soft drinks each day. I decided to go cold turkey on a few things, combined with a disciplined fitness regime, and I've already lost half of that weight in about 60 days' time.

Lucky for me, I've disciplined myself and find myself much lighter than I was just a few short months ago? You may be wondering how I've done it, and it isn't nearly as hard as you might think.

First, I cut out all soft drinks from my diet. I no longer drink sodas, whether they're diet sodas or regular sodas. I believe that both are bad for your health in their own ways.

Additionally, I took a closer look at the foods I ate and decided to do away with sugar altogether. The only sugar I'd have from here was the sugar that's found naturally in fruits, which happens to taste pretty good.

Furthermore, I'm running at the gym, very regularly. It's cold where I live now so I can't run outside, but I take full advantage of my gym's treadmill and run nearly every day.

Third, I simply don't eat fried foods anymore. Hard to give up, but it feels great after a few weeks. - 29161

Is the 3 Day Diet Good Or Bad

By Ron Cripps

The 3 Day Diet dates back to 1985 and today can be found all over the Internet and on book store shelves. The three day diet and its variants promise quick weight loss, a cleansing of the system, lower cholesterol and increased energy all through a specific metabolic reaction that no version of the diet has ever explained.

The diet is to be followed for only 3 days, with an off period of generally 5 days in between diet times. All the versions of this diet share in common difficult steps that must be followed and foods that must be eaten in order for the diet to work. What better way to blame the dieter when it doesn't work than you botched the formula.

Breakfast on the very first day comes with a cup of coffee (no sugar), one half a grapefruit, and a slice of toast with one tablespoon peanut butter. For lunch, you are allowed a can of tuna, a slice of toast, and black coffee. For dinner it's 3ozs of lean meat or chicken, one cup of green beans, one cup of carrots, one apple, and one cup of regular vanilla ice cream.

The next two days of the 3 day diet are pretty similar in meal quantity, though the specifics change, for example Day 2 recommends two beef franks for dinner in place of 3ozs of lean meat. Supposedly it's viable to lose as much as 10lbs in only three days.

Hogwash is the answer. The inquiry is what is a specific reaction to that claim? As stated the metabolic reaction has never been examined much less proven. Any weight loss would be mostly water loss due to a lack of carbs which help the body hold water. That could lead to dehydration.

Because of binge eating after such starvation and because most of the weight lost is from water, the weight will hastily return after the three days. Furthermore, such water loss could result in some serious medical problems. But hey, then you'd lose some real weight in the hospital.

If something sounds too good to be true it is. The 3 day diet sounds too good to be true. - 29161

Stay Clear of the Acai Berry Fraud

By Caitlin Ryan

One of nature's miracles, acai berries are loaded in nutrients. They contain antioxidants, protein and many of the B vitamins. Phytochemicals, sometimes called vitamin P, are also present in acai berries. The phytochemical family in acai berries are called anthocyanins. Phytochemicals in plants protect the plant from disease and damage, and those protective properties are transferred to us when we consume the plant.

Acai berry nutrients are thought to prevent disease, aid in weight loss and slow aging. More than likely, this is a direct result of the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory nature of the various nutrients.

Free radicals and inflammation are behind many disease processes and aging. The antioxidants in acai berries can neutralize free radicals and repair damage. The anti-inflammatory characteristics reduce inflammation and help prevent inflammatory diseases such as atherosclerosis. Because of these properties, acai berries show promise in aiding in weight loss.

Unfortunately, you probably are not going to find a nice little basket of acai berries in the produce. You may find juice, smoothie mixes and powders, but the acai berry itself is grown in the Amazon on giant palm trees. You need to check the label of these products to make sure there is enough pure acai berries for the product to be beneficial. You might find only trace amounts of the berries and loads of sugar or corn syrup instead.

For the most part, acai berries available to us are in a supplement form. Liquid extracts, powders and pills containing natural acai berry extract are sold in health food stores and on the internet. The health news on these gorgeous purple berries leads to a boom in the development of supplements. Unfortunately, the popularity also leads to acai berry fraud.

The most common acai berry fraud is one in which a free trial is offered. The unsuspecting customer signs up and gives his or her credit card to the company to pay a minor shipping and handling charge. What they do not realize is they are signing up for an auto-shipment program. Suddenly (in some cases two days) a charge appears on their credit card for $50 or more for a bottle of acai berry supplement. Upon calling the company, they are given the runaround and some report to having to make several phone calls, all the while their credit card is still being charged.

Another acai berry fraud is the weight loss supplement scam. Promises are made (all with small print disclaimers of course) that weight loss can be achieved solely by taking the acai supplement. Unfortunately, no magic bullet exists and people end up wasting their money and never losing a pound.

Acai berries are healthy and one of nature's gifts, but you have to be cautious when ordering these products on the internet. Check the company's website for certifications that they conduct business legitimately. The Better Business Bureau and other entities can verify good business practice for many quality companies. Read the fine print and find pure acai berry supplements. You can always make a phone call. - 29161

Why You Need Motivation to Lose Weight

By Jesse Regan

Have you hit a rut in your workout routine? Do you need to lose the excess weight but feel lacking in enthusiasm to get on with it? If so, you may need to be motivated to start and especially continue on with your quest to fitness and being in great shape. You have to remember that motivation is everything.

Motivation is everything. You need it in order to be able to really push yourself to work out. Remember that motivation is really important. It will provide you the push needed so that you can start working out and stick with it. Motivation keeps you stimulated and will help you to do things right. Having the right motivation will enable you to start and then keep on working out.

However, you need to realize why you want to work out. There is no other person who can answer this question so you have to be very honest. You also need to work out who you are losing the weight for. Doing it for yourself is the best way that you can succeed. Even if other people want you to lose weight, you should want to lose weight for yourself while making those people just part of your motivation. Now, if you are unsure of what your motivations are, you can find ways so you can create the inspiration needed to get you started.

First of all, you need to look for examples of the goal that you would like to accomplish. You need to think about how you will feel when you have achieved that goal. You need to assess your lifestyle, your current weight and state of your health and see how they keep you from enjoying your life as fully as possible. Once you have done so, what you need to do is to create a list of how you would see yourself and how your life would change if you were healthier and fit.

Next, you will have to think of positive motivations instead of negative ones. Since if you have negative motivations, they will make you hate working out and not give you enough reason to continue. You also have to resolve that you want to make a change for yourself and not for somebody else. Having good motivations comes from you alone, not from any outside source.

Lastly, it is a good idea to make a promise to yourself and to the people closest to you as well. These people could be parents, family, friends and other loved ones. Doing so will make it very hard to blow off the commitment that you have made to get healthy by working out. A good promise is to join a fundraising athletic event to raise money for charity. You can push yourself to continue with your workout so that you can participate. If you don't then you will feel really guilty because you will be letting yourself down and you will also be letting the charity down as well. Also, some of these charity athletic events even give you free coaching.

Healthy Ways To Lose Weight Quickly Now

By Etta Moncur

You know patience is a virtue and that the best things come to those who wait. Why is this? Well because by taking your time you can sort through the options available to you and pick the one that suits you best. So when it comes to weight loss you need to have the same philosophy in mind.

A good starting point can be a visit to your medical practitioner. They can give you free advice on healthy ways to lose weight quickly and explain to you what level of weekly weight loss you should be aiming for. Another great source of free information are government websites. You don't need to spend money on diet books and programs to get started there is plenty of free information on the internet.

Taking the time now to think about how you intend to lose weight will pay dividends in the future. Get to grips with the information out there and you will be taking the first steps towards speedy weight-loss.

You can't change something that you don't know about. So as part of your plan you need to start looking at how many calories you currently consume. So with that in mind take some time to consider what you are currently putting into your body.

It is a good idea to get a notebook, or use your journal if you keep one, and start writing down everything you eat and drink. Also write down when you ate, how long you spent eating and what size of portion you had. You may not know this but the length of time you spend eating does affect how well you digest your food and so impacts on your weight. So be diligent and start writing it all down.

Be honest with yourself and complete your journal truthfully. There is no point in continuing to try and lose weight if you cannot be true to yourself.

After two or three weeks of recording sit down with your journal and review how much you consume in a normal week. By this point you should be desperate to lose weight quickly so tick off the foods that you need to reduce your consumption of or even eliminate completely from your diet.

When you start to go through your journal you may notice for instance that you drink a lot of fizzy drinks. If that is the case try replacing them with water or even green tea. Always try and think about using healthier alternatives. For example do you like butter on your sandwiches? If so try a low fat spread made from olives instead. Just see if you like the alternative.

Low-fat and low-calorie options are available for most foods, and many of these are natural, and tasty. Start trying to eat healthy in most meals: For instance choose lean meats such as Turkey, Chicken and fish. These are all very low in fat (and certain fish like salmon, sardines, and fresh tuna are an excellent source of antioxidants, which are also beneficial to your health), Aim to replace some or all of the red meats, such as beef or pork, in your diet with these foods.

Everyone enjoys a treat now and then and you can actually benefit from the endorphins released when you have that odd food treat. The problem arises when the foods like chocolate become part of your daily life instead of an occasional treat.

Sweets and chocolates should be something you have as an odd treat they should not be part of your daily life. Chocolates are not a health food and should not be part of your diet. Even the 70% cocoa chocolates are not good for you. While they may contain less sugars they still contain saturated fats. And remember if you feel like some chocolate then there are now healthier options where manufacturers have combined chocolate with cereals.

Remember it is not about depriving yourself it is about building good eating habits and avoiding bad ones.

When it comes to healthy ways to lose weight quickly patience really is a virtue.

It might take a week or two before you notice any changes, but they will steadily appear. After the first month you will be able to see the results and measure them in terms of looser fitting clothes.

One of the most difficult things about changing your eating habits is staying motivated. We all have "bad" days where healthy eating is the last thing on our minds. There are times too when you never seem to lose any weight or even put some back on.

This is normal for everyone - dieters or not - so don't let it undo your plans for a slimmer you. You're not doing anything 'wrong', but you may need to look at your plan. Do you need to increase your activity levels? Make a few more changes to your diet? Put more effort into sticking to your current plan? - 29161

Smart Lipo - The 3 Questions To Ask To Judge Whether It Is Appropriate For You

By Charles Taylor

There is a new, effective way to surgically remove body fat known as smart lipo. This treatment uses a unique laser used to burn fat tissue in a specific place. With this method, anesthesia is a thing of the past. Smart lipo is also a procedure that can be completed in the doctor's office conveniently.

If you are trying to decide if smart lipo is right for you, take time to ask yourself a few questions. One of the first questions most people think about is how much the procedure will cost. Another frequently asked question is what the average recovery time will be. People considering smart lipo will most likely want to know if previous patients were satisfied with the procedure and results overall.

There is no set price for smart lipo - it varies quite a bit. You usually cannot get this kind of procedure done for less than $2,000, but you can also expect to pay up to $6,000 depending on the doctor you choose. It is best to make sure you understand and agree with all the expenses before starting the procedure.

There is a much faster and less painful recovery time associated with smart lipo compared to traditional liposuction. An individual will experience a little pain that can be controlled with over the counter pain medication. The bruising that is associated with this procedure is usually gone in two or three days. The best way to help decrease swelling is to wear a pressure dressing or compression garment. And most of the time, the patient can go back to their usual day-to-day activities within twenty four hours of treatment.

In a recent survey, eighty-two percent of individuals who had undergone the treatment said that it was worth the money spent. But what about the eighteen percent who say that it was not worth having done? Their views varied.

One individual stated that they had hard bumps on the area of the treatment. One person said the procedure produced unnatural results and that the process was too long overall. In the final analysis, anyone thinking of smart lipo must decide for themselves whether the treatment is right for them. - 29161

Weight Loss Review - The Benefits Are Undeniable

By Biggi Fraley

If you have ever visited a review site, you know how helpful they can be. It's always good checking out an unbiased review of a product, especially when it comes to a weight loss product, where there's typically so much hype.

The truth is that a lot of weight loss products are really good, but that doesn't necessarily mean they will work for everybody equally well.

Even Weight Watchers figured that out and came up with a second system for those people that just couldn't do the strict counting of points. Different people just work better with different dieting rules and systems.

Some people actually prefer to exercise rather than cutting back on calories in their diet. Ideally, one would eat well as the foundation for getting the desired results from exercising.

A good weight loss review will be written by someone that has actually used the product they are reviewing, and I think you'll easily be able to tell.

A product tour, video, or look inside of the product itself is another great advantage of visiting a weight loss review site, that will help you make up your mind about which product is right for you.

Even with the help of a review site, you might not end up purchasing the right product for you the first time around. This is normal, as getting to know ourselves and our motivations is the journey we all take when trying to lose weight.

Losing weight is a journey. Whatever you do, please remember that you deserve a fit and happy life. So keep on going! Don't give up when a product doesn't work for you, because the next one might just change your life!

You deserve to be healthy. It's a wonderful journey. Enjoy it together with your loved ones. Maybe health, just like money doesn't make happy, but not having it sure does make you unhappy. - 29161

Liposuction Prices And How To Look For The Right One

By David Peterson

Many people don't believe in cosmetic procedures. But as far as liposuction is concerned, sometimes the risk of the operating process is lesser than the risk of severe diseases from an overweight physique. This is why many doctors consider liposuction a way towards betterment for people with high body mass index and body fat percentages.

Obesity is the main cause for heart diseases as well as cancers and diabetes, and many times the amount of weight and age makes it impossible for a person to lose it by exercise and eating.

Liposuction is basically removing the excess fat from any part of the body. These days it can be done in an easy procedure which requires the least amount of recovery time. This operation is not suggested for people who already have diseases. In fact the best candidates for liposuction are people who are healthy and don't smoke. This is why it is important that you check with your doctor about any previous conditions that you might have.

Liposuction is normally not covered by insurance. Unless you have a severe condition and your doctor advises you to get the procedure done. Either way it is a good idea to find out about liposuction prices before you head into the procedure. The prices generally include the procedure, the hospital stay and the recovery medicine prices. One should also take into account the period that will take for recovery so you can take as many days off or sick leaves from work and get someone to handle your house. If you have children then you need to either leave them with someone else or get someone to look after them for a week at least, just in case.

Liposuction prices range from doctor to doctor. But that doesn't mean you choose some doctor with less credibility just because they seem affordable. Always go and check the place out first. Before you invest into the hospital, take a look at the hospital and its surroundings. Make sure it is a sanitary, healthy setting and the doctors have experience in this particular cosmetic procedure.

Even though you might be able to afford liposuction prices and be okay with the operating process, it must be kept in mind that liposuction is a serious surgical process and it carries the same risks as any other surgery. This is why care should be taken before deciding to get the operation done. You should consult a good doctor and take a couple of opinions so your doctors can asses whether you will be a suitable candidate for this cosmetic surgery. - 29161

Reduce Man Boobs Without Surgery

By Steve Brodie

Gynecosmastia refers to large breast tissue in men coming from the Greek 'gyne' for woman and 'mastos' for breast. Ancient Greek aside, it is commonly known as man boobs. Man boobs can result from different issues in the body but mostly from either an excess of fat, such as in obese men or from a hormonal imbalance.

There are natural hormone imbalances in times like adolescence. It is not uncommon for boys at puberty to bud small breasts and feel lumps near or under their nipples, but these usually vanish with time. Overweight boys are more susceptible but even active fit youngsters can experience breast development. No health risks are associated with this adolescent man boob growth, other than the social and psychological pain and stigmatisation that often goes with man boobs. Boys that have man boobs will often isolate themselves from their peer group and avoid social situations that involve taking off their shirt like sports of beach activities.

Other causes of man boobs can come from a hormonal reaction to different types of medications, too much alcohol (especially beer) taking methamphetamines and marijuana and even from illnesses like cancer or liver disease.

One source of man boobs has been causing somewhat of an epidemic and creates man boobs that are far more persistent and permanent, sometime leaving surgery as the only option to remove the male breasts. Anabolic steroids are the big baddies when it comes to leaving behind a nice pair of man boobs on once bulging pecks - they are leading men into epidemic proportions of gynecomastia. Man boobs from steroids develop much faster and more noticeably than man boobs from natural hormonal imbalances because steroid use has such a heavy impact on your hormone levels. They are also more difficult to get rid of, and man boobs from steroids that have been left unchecked for years may only be able to be treated by costly and risky male mamoplasty - not a good option.

Male breast development is quite a common side effect of steroid use. Generally the cause is from the steroids putting the testosterone and estrogen balance in the body all out of whack. Because steroids inhibit testosterone production naturally, when stopping a steroid cycle if a user doesn't add testosterone to the body the levels of estrogen will rise dramatically and a feminization of the body can occur - budding breast and shapely hips. Not exactly the look steroids users would be going for, but a result of steroids nonetheless.

It takes some time after stopping steroids for the body to start producing testosterone again, and often when it does and hormone levels return to a balance the breast tissue formed can remain. This is one of the biggest differences in steroid induced man boobs - they are notoriously hard to eliminate.

There is one very easy solution, and that is to stay right away from steroids, and if you think about the other associated risk like shrunken testicles, looking like a stocking stuffed with tennis balls and our lovely flabby boobs there are plenty of good reasons to do so. For those who insist on taking steroids there are drugs available to block estrogen levels in the body and they can help stop man boobs forming. These are often used by body builders, however these drugs have not been fully studied, so there may well be other side effects of these blockers which will cause another unsightly syndrome.

There are plenty of ways to try and reduce man boobs, and if you have man boobs and have never used steroids then you are just months away from having a manly toned chest once more, because male breast are totally treatable given the right natural remedies and lifestyle and diet changes. If your man boobs are steroid induced still don't rush into surgery that may not even cure the problem - it may take a bit more time but natural remedies can still cure your man boobs. - 29161

Starting A Get Fit Program

By Steve Roberts

The main reason people fail when starting a get fit program is they do not set daily goals and targets. Not having something to work towards results in failure to follow though with exercise plans and diet changes. However if you are looking to improve your health and well-being by starting a get fit program, then all you need to succeed is to have some simple thought out goals and targets. This is easier than you think. All that is required on your part is some planning.

Starting a get fit program can be made a lot easier by following these simple steps:

1. A healthy diet and daily exercise go hand in hand. This has been proven time and time again by experts. And most, if not all, of us know this. Many people however see the word diet as a scary thing. A healthy diet however need not mean a lifetime of restricted foods and boring choices. A healthy diet simply means lowering your intake of sugars, salts, fats and carbs and increasing your intake of foods rich in fibre, protein, vitamins and complex carbs. And including daily exercise really is not as hard as you may think. Try doing activities you enjoy and build it gradually into your daily schedule.

2. Exercise when it suits you. Include your workout when it works for you. If you find getting up and exercising first thing in the morning works best for you then do that. Or if you prefer to fit your exercise in at lunchtime or when you get home at night then thats fine too!As long as it works for you then thats what is important. Make sure however, do not substitute exercising for a meal, if you choose to workout in the morning make sure you still eat a healthy breakfast. The same applies at lunchtime and dinner. Remember you must eat a healthy diet for the best results.

3. Look at your fitness evaluation. Having your fitness evaluated can be a great place to begin when starting a get fit program. This will let you know what areas you need to work on and can help you build a better picture of where you want to be. Most gyms will provide this service for free and some gyms will also have a personal trainer on hand for you to utilize. You may find a personal trainer unnecessary however if you feel you can discipline yourself to stick to your chosen exercise plan.

4. Discover fun fitness activities. While gyms can offer a variety of different classes, sometimes you can find something on your own that you can enjoy while getting fit. For instance, you may enjoy biking or hiking. These activities can be done outside of a gym. Organized sport's leagues are also a fun way to get in better shape for many people. The main thing is to realize that fitness can be fun, so keep it interesting.

5. Only buy healthy foods and snacks. Keeping your kitchen full of healthy, tasty and nutritious foods will lower the chances of you reaching for something unhealthy to eat or snack on. Stock up on tasty fruits, vegetables and nuts which you can snack on throughout the day. Having a healthy diet is the best way to notice maximum results from your workout. If you do not see great results it may lower your motivation and you may stop exercising completely. So eat healthy to help stay on track with your exercise.

6. Make sure you are hydrated. It is recommended that we drink atleast 6-8 glasses of clean filtered water a day, more when exercising. Staying hydrated is vital to ensuring body processes and functions are working efficiently, especially when starting a get fit program. If we don't drink enough water our body will start to retain it in order to keep functioning. This causes bloating. So in order to keep our bodies functioning at their best we need to regularly drink water throughout the day. This will flush out toxins and keep metabolism up.

7. Interval Training Works Best. To lose weight the important thing is not how many calories you can burn per exercise, but how many calories you burn 24-7. And the most powerful fat burners you have are your muscles! So toss the notion of long bouts of cardio out the window. INTENSITY is the KEY to getting the most out of your cardio in the least amount of time. So structure your get fit program with this in mind, build it around energizing short burst intervals!

The above tips can be very helpful when starting a get fit program. Remember to make goals and stick to them, and to keep healthy food available at all times. - 29161

Why Inversion Tables Help Those With Back Pains

By Chris Channing

Inversion tables are used to relieve back pain of all sorts. If you yourself have been experiencing pains in the back, whether from physical or chronic reasons, you may be able to find relief. Inversion tables do wonders for certain situations where back pain has become unbearable.

Having a problem with a disk in your spinal column is a serious issue, which often needs surgery no matter what you do. An inversion table can help curb the pain you experience in the meantime, so long as your physician says it's fine to use one. The decrease in pressure on the discs in your back can provide surprising comfort- and in some cases will attribute to your recovery.

Sometimes the side effects of back pain can cause you to have flu like symptoms. Back aches can lead to a general aches of the body, and even a headache if persistent. Inversion tables are good for reversing these effects, as the increase in blood circulation is very helpful in keeping the mind and body free of aches and pains.

Even a disease you may be suffering from could be circumvented, in whatever small way possible, in the subject of relieving pain. Scoliosis is a disease in which impacts the back, and can cause pain in itself. In some cases an inversion table has been known to relieve the side effects of pain felt by sufferers. A physician should of course be consulted first to guarantee safety.

Inversion tables are very flexible in what they are able to allow in terms of an incline. From upright to a complete vertical flip, different inclines have been able to target different aspects of back pain. If you are experiencing back pain as a result of disc problems, a full incline is known to do great under certain conditions. Medium inclines are fantastic for problems of stress and lack of blood flow. Finally, a light incline is best suited for the beginner who isn't adept in using inversion tables.

If it is your first time inverting with the goal of helping get rid of back pain, you should take things extremely slow. Going at a steep incline too fast will cause you to become nauseous since your body isn't accustomed to it. Rising too fast from an incline will also cause dizziness for the same reason. Just make slow movements and listen to your body for best practices.

Closing Comments

Inversion tables are a blessing to those with back pains. So long as you have a good piece of equipment, training, and a few minutes each day, you can curb the pain you feel. Even if only temporarily, relief is something that is hard to come by for chronic pain sufferers. - 29161

Face exercises flex and strengthen certain muscles in your face to reduce fat commonly found in your chin, jowls and cheeks. If you do them right on a daily basis you will be astounded with the way they polish your facial features in one month's time.

You have to maximize the effects of face exercises by changing your negative lifestyle habits such as smoking, drinking, eating highly refined and processed food, consuming too much salt, not getting enough rest and sleep, not sleeping on time, and not doing any physical exercise.

You need to obtain the right nutrients such as amino acids, vitamins and minerals to build facial muscle, collagen and elastin. You need to get enough sleep to give your facial muscle tissue the time to rest and grow. You have to cut back on sodium and get rid of alcohol and nicotine to avoid edema. Doing some sort of physical exercise is mandatory to improve overall circulation and oxygenation.

By doing good facial exercises over a period of time and improving your overall health you can definitely say goodbye to face fat forever and say hello to a leaner, more attractive face! - 29161

Find the Best Acai: Where to Buy Acai Berry

By Travis Van Slooten

Are you wondering where to buy acai berry? If you're just new to taking health supplements, particularly acai berry, be wary as not all acai supplements are created the same. Some companies sell poorly produced acai berry, mark it up and honestly, it can provide little value to you even though you may be paying less than good-quality acai. There are also a handful of companies that are ethical, and even give back to the local laborers that harvest the berries in Brazil. Still, there are also those businesses that are only looking to make a lot of money. When searching for supplements to enhance your diet, there are a few things you need to consider.

The Acai Berry SUpplement

When searching for acai berry supplements, ensure that it is made from berry that was organically grown. To reap the full benefits of the berry, search for companies that cultivate and harvest without chemicals or fertilizers. No matter how reputable the company is, or how affordable the product might be, it is important to search for an organic product. Acai berry is healthy as is, and there is no need to alter it in any way to enjoy the benefits.

You also want to make sure the product is freeze dried. If you ever see the words spray dried, simply walk away. Spray dried products are loaded with maltodextrin, which the body processes as a sugar, and are not the best you can buy. In fact, they lose a great deal of their nutritional value during the heating process that prepares them for shipping. If you buy a non-organic or spray dried product, you never know what you might be getting.

Knowing the Company

You can't ask where to buy acai berry without considering the company. Since acai berry is such a hot product, there are an unfortunately large number of people out there with less than great business morals who are looking to get you to buy into their product. Some of these companies are outright scams, while others are just looking to sell you their product and charge you for additional things you never wanted. Always make sure the company you choose has readily available contact information and a background of their business posted. If the company looks unprofessional, they probably are.

There are many things to remember when searching for high-quality acai berry products. An ethical company that sells acai berry should state their location and contact information clearly. Companies that contribute to the local community that grows and harvests acai berry is a good choice. Ensure that they aren't taking advantage of local labor. Acai berry is grown in Brazil, and you want to make sure that the community is rewarded for their hard work. With patience and time when searching for a reputable company, knowing where to buy acai berry isn't a hard task. - 29161

The Atkins Grapefruit Diet.

By Frank Williams

The Atkins Grapefruit diet is a diet plan, not endorsed by the eponymous Dr. Atkins firm, that plays on the fame of two diets: the grapefruit diet and the Atkins diet. However, a close look into this diet reveals that it may not be all it claims to be.

First off, it's pretty difficult to any find information on the Atkins grapefruit diet plan at all. Smart people realize that when someone is perpetrating a deception, or a con, they will often gloss over the facts. This is what the Atkins grapefruit diet seems to be doing in an attempt to get people to associate it with two supposedly effective diets.

Is the Atkins Grapefruit Diet part of the Atkins Diet or endorsed by the late Dr. Atkins' company? The answer is a resounding no, not only is there no mention of the Atkins Grapefruit Diet on the Atkins web site, but there is no fruit of any sort allowed in the list of allowed foods in the Atkins diet Induction phase either.

The induction phase allows the following foods: fish of all kinds, all fowl such as turkey and chicken, any shellfish, any meat such as beef or pork, eggs cooked in any style including fried, cheese, vegetables, herbs and spices, fats and oils, low carbohydrate beverages including diet soft drinks.

Please, notice one thing - that fruit does not feature on that list at all! Yes, later phases of the Atkins diet do allow limited amounts of fruits such as cantaloupe and lemon juice, and the pre-maintenance and maintenance phases do even allow small quantities of grapefruit, but when judged in comparison with the amount of Grapefruit recommended on the Atkins Grapefruit Diet there is a huge difference.

The Atkins Grapefruit Diet suggests a cup of grapefruit juice or a cup of grapefruit sections, with 8 and 18 carbs respectively. Even the most liberal phases of the Atkins diet suggests restricting consumption to below 8 carbs per day, when it comes to grapefruit. That's a direct contradiction of one diet to the other.

Most reasonable people would have a look at the Atkins website itself the moment they heard of the Atkins Grapefruit Diet and when they found no mention of that diet on their site, a red light would flash and an alarmbell would ring.

In general, remember that any diet that relies too heavily on one type of food, such as grapefruit on a grapefruit diet, is unhealthy for any but extremely short periods. The Atkins Grapefruit Diet is not associated with the Atkins diet, and could interfere with the results of the Atkins diet, especially in its early phases. - 29161

The Easiest Way To Lose Weight And Keep It Off For Good

By Cindy Burgenstein

Lots of people today have a problem with their weight. Ranging from being a few pounds overweight, to full blown clinical obesity, it has become a huge health risk for adults today.

Experts agree that the two most significant changes you can make are to eat less and exercise more. That may seem like a no-brainer, but why are so many people still fat?

One possible explanation may be that people see losing weight as a one-time task, rather than a lifestyle change. If you don't change your lifestyle, you aren't likely to keep off any weight that you might lose.

So it would seem that the best way would be to make a good diet and exercise plan part of your daily routine. This is easiest when they are introduced slowly, so they can become automatic.

Everybody's dream is to lose all the weight in a couple weeks with a magic pill, but is that really possible? Is that really good for your health? It might be better to lose weight slowly.

It's better to slowly add changes to your lifestyle and diet, so that you not only slowly lose weight, but change your lifestyle so that you can easily keep it off.

Imagine what your weight, and your lifestyle would be like one year from now if you made one small change per week, over the next year.

So what changes should we make? Small, easy ones. Park a little further from your office. Get the baked potato once in a while instead of the fries. Get the salad dressing on the side. Use the stairs occasionally.

These may seem small and insignificant in the short term, but they can easily add up to a slimmer, healthier, and sexier body before you know it. - 29161

How To Take Your Arm Workouts To The Next Level

By Katherine Crawford M.S.

There are an infinite number of variations on how to do arm exercises for women. Unfortunately, if you're doing the infective variations, you could end up wasting an insane amount of time and energy.

Even worse, you may hardly notice any results from all your hard work. And nothing is more demoralizing than busting your butt in the gym only to see little, if any change.

So without further ado, here are 4 tips to make your arm exercises ultra effective:

1. Fully stretch your long head. Do this whenever performing an overhead extension. These types of movements directly target the long head of your triceps. By fully stretching at the bottom, your long head will get maximum toning. And remember: the long head of your triceps is the area where arm fat hangs from!

2. Aim for a forceful squeeze. This is most useful when performing any type of press down for the triceps area. By squeezing at the bottom, you'll place the maximum amount of stress on your triceps. And maximum stress translates into maximum results.

3. Employ some negatives every so often. The positive portion of a bicep curl is when the weight comes up. Yet one of the most effective ways to accelerate arm toning is to focus on when the weight comes down. So next time you do a bicep curl, slow down the descent. You should feel a burning sensation!

4. Use heavy weights with lower repetitions. The idea that doing arm exercises with lighter weights and higher repetitions is optimal for arm toning is a myth. Don't be afraid to use some really heavy weights in the 3-6 repetition range. As always, never let your form deviate.

There are two ways to do arm exercises for women: the effective way and the ineffective way. If you follow the pointers outlined in this article, you'll be well on your way to rapid arm toning. So make sure you act on this information now and not later. - 29161

How To Adopt The Proper Mindset For Easy And Consistent Weight Loss

By Cindy Burgenstein

Being overweight is a concern that most adults in the modern world share. Although it is a big problem, it can be easy to overcome.

Two thirds of adults today are overweight, or obese. And this number is steadily rising. Being overweight can have an impact on many other aspects of both physical and emotional health.

The strange thing is that while we keep getting bigger and bigger, there seem to be more and more diets an exercise programs out there.

If you go into any large bookstore, you'll find the diet section filled with books on ways to lose weight. Some make a lot of sense, some are based on ideas that may or may not have an impact on anything other than the author's bank account.

One possible reason it can seem so hard to lose weight, is that often times we think of getting slim as something unpleasant we do once, and then forget about it, like having your wisdom teeth pulled.

This doesn't usually work, obviously. There are many reasons we are overweight besides simply not eating right and insufficient exercising. If it were that simple, everybody would be skinny and healthy. What are some of these reasons?

Most of us work at jobs where we don't need to move around all that much. There has been a lot of these jobs created in recent years. And because we are so busy, it can be impossible to take the time to eat properly. We are surrounded by too many easy choices.

So it is only natural that if we leave things to chance, our current lifestyle will naturally lead to obesity. Only when we make a conscious effort to change, do we have hope of losing weight once and for all.

This isn't easy. The best way is to make small changes over time. As these small changes become part of our normal, everyday life, we will notice changes in our health, and our weight. - 29161

Hypnosis Stop Smoking And Its Effectiveness

By David Hughes

Even though it is common knowledge that cigarette smoking kills those who smoke and passive smokers alike, many people get addicted to smoking for their own reasons. But it can cause doom through a variety of diseases including lung cancer, heart failures etc. Even those who do not smoke that much find their lives in hell due to chronic cough, breathlessness etc which are direct consequences of smoke inhalation. Since the habit heralds death, it is better to quit is at the earliest. If you want to escape, then there is no better way than hypnosis and we would talk here as to how hynosis stop smoking.

Out mind is a proven depot of concealed talents, but only a fraction of us uses this to the full potential. This occurs due to either the lack of knowledge about the inner hidden gifts or the lack of courage to unleash the powers stored in the brain. Such people often develop wrong character traits and harmful habits. Habitual smokers, drunkards, drug addicts, compulsive eaters etc are products of such lack of will power. These habits usually would not leave even with the best individual efforts because both the mind and body looks upon them for sustenance. Additionally, many people refuse to believe that the habit can be kicked, which is the root cause of failures of all corrective measures.

But hypnosis, the process that alters our thinking patterns, has the potential to defeat habitual smoking undyingly. Hynosis stop smoking can be done either in the form of self-hypnosis or with the help of a hypnotherapist specifically dealing in smoking eradication. But the subject should give his or her conscious consent if the process should meet its desired success.

The charges of a hypnotherapist may be high while self-hypnosis kits can be either bought or downloaded free of cost. If the hypnotist is an experienced person, he can alter your lifestyle and attitude considerably.

If you have decided to avail the help of hynosis stop smoking tactics, then why the delay? Take a big leap and plunge into it with all of your heart. What is awaiting is nothing less than a nicotine-free life. Love, joy peace and prosperity will follow you all the days of your life as a non-smoker. - 29161

Out thinking patterns can be altered to remove smoking habits altogether. This is possible through hypnosis, which is a process that can be undergone easily. But the conscious willingness of the subject is essential to make the process a success. Hynosis stop smoking can be undergone in two ways - either self-hypnosis or with the assistance of a professional hypnotherapist.

Losing Weight Without Diets

By Tammy Henderson

A diet is simply a temporary reduction in calories, so diets only produce temporary results. It is physiologically impossible to stay on a diet, meaning a severe reduction in calories, your entire life. That isn't even a healthy option. If you want to lose weight without dieting, and you want to keep the weight off, you have to consider other options.

Successful weight loss begins with a change in attitude toward nutrition and exercise. Instead of focusing on temporary diets, begin to think about lifestyle changes to lose weight. People go on and off of diets all the time. This is a bad habit and rarely results in lasting weight loss. A much less stressful and more successful way to lose weight is to focus on new exercise and nutritional habits. You will then find a path to weight loss that last a lifetime, not just a few weeks.

Another important factor to weight loss is to maintain your muscle mass. Muscle mass is often underestimated in its importance in weight loss. Crash diets lead to fat loss, but muscle loss, as well. Muscle is important because it burns a lot of calories. Rapid weight loss includes muscle loss. This makes it even more difficult to lose weight and burn fat. The more muscle mass you have, the more calories you burn with each workout.

A very severe calorie reduction to lose weight is very counterproductive. Reducing calories too much and too fast will slow your metabolism into starvation mode. This will cause your body to hold on to fat, for fear of starvation. An additional problem with starvation diets is that muscle mass is used to fuel the body, making fat loss even more difficult. Muscle is very important. It is better to reduce calories a little bit and increase calorie consumption by increasing physical activity.

Remember, the way that you were going to lose weight is to make sure that you consume less calories than you expend. Make sure you eat, but make sure you also need small low-fat meals. If he can keep this up, you will see gradual weight loss and it will be healthy weight loss. - 29161

Laser Lipo and Smart Lipo

By Craig Lipper

Smart lipo is a technology which is relatively new. Smart lipo is a new procedure in which the extraneous body fat cells are melted down using laser beams. After these fatty cells are melted using lasers, then these cells leave our body using the normal metabolism. This technology is not very old but is slowly gaining popularity.

Smart lipo is also widely named as Laser liposuction or laser lipo in short. Smart lipo is actually very different than a usual liposuction surgery since there are no cuts which are made in this surgery. This technique does not involve any kind of local anesthesia as well therefore the cost of this technique is much lower than a normal liposuction surgery.

Smart liposuction has other distinct advantages over a normal liposuction technique in addition to cost and number of incisions. For example, it does not leave any scars on your body because of no incisions. The recovery time is also very less. Patients recover from this surgery in mere hours instead of days. Also, the success rate of smart lipo is much higher than a normal liposuction due to which this technique is fast gaining popularity.

However, laser liposuction should be performed on body parts having only a small amount of fat in that area. The most commonly treated body parts by this procedure are neck and saddlebags. The surgeon is able to sculpt the area while doing this surgery since the treated area is very small. Also, there is no skin sagging after this surgery. Usually, laser lipo is an outpatient procedure therefore you don't have to get admitted to the hospital. If the area to be treated is bigger, then doctors recommend going with normal liposuction techniques.

While choosing a surgeon for your smart lipo surgery you should consider his skill, experience as well as medical knowledge. Since the expenses of your smart lipo will not be covered by your health insurance policy, you have to make sure that you get it right the first time. This technique is about skill as much as about medical knowledge and experience so make sure that you go to the right doctor to get your smart lipo done. - 29161

Unearth Dietary Supplementation For First-Rate Health Now

By Tina A Simmons

Every grocery store, national shopping chain and even thousands of online stores all sell dietary supplements like multivitamins, single vitamins, minerals and even herbs. Individuals often use supplements because they realize that they are not getting the suitable nutrition that their bodies call for from their every day diet and dietary supplements fill in the gap.

A lot of debate exists about which nutritional supplements are advantageous to humans owing to concerns about daily value percentages and the ability of the body to absorb crucial vitamins and minerals in a supplemental pill or capsule. The Council for Responsible Nutrition a short time ago released findings that customary use of multivitamins and other nutritional supplements can help advance good health and avert sickness and disease.

It has been shown that the continued use of dietary supplements like folic acid contributes to the noteworthy decrease of neural tube birth defects in newborn babies. Other supplements such as calcium have shown definite effects such as improved immunity and the decrease of easily broken bones in aged adults.

After reviewing over 10 years of studies that took into consideration the health benefits of multivitamins and other nutritional supplements including Calcium, Omega-3 fatty acids, Vitamin D, antioxidants, Vitamin B-12, Vitamin B-6 and folic acid, the Council for Responsible Nutrition released a report called The Benefits of Nutritional Supplements. This report indicated that the extensive use of nutritional supplements and multivitamins provides a persuasive health benefit for humans.

Other remarkable results from this report showed that if all females of childbearing age took a multivitamin or even just a folic acid supplement, it might be feasible to decrease the incidence of neural tube birth defects by as much as 70%. And mature patients who took supplements improved their immune systems and reduced the risk of hip fractures. Superior health from taking dietary supplements could trigger substantial health savings by preventing or postponing illnesses and diseases by a matter of years.

Nevertheless, not all of the reports on supplements is good. Beta-carotene is an antioxidant that is found in many orange foods. It is in fact a precursor to vitamin A as it converts to vitamin A in the body. It has been found that beta-carotene from the diet reduces the risks of cancer and heart disease along with boosting immunity and sustaining good vision. Because of these notable results, a number of experts started recommending beta-carotene supplementation.

Then came two excellent studies that showed that these supplements could cause critical harm, in particular in smokers. The studies tested beta-carotene and vitamin A supplements in folks at high risk for lung cancer-smokers, ex- smokers and asbestos industry workers. The study was halted when it became apparent that those taking the beta-carotene supplements in reality had a higher proportion of lung cancer and a higher death rate than those taking the placebo.

Here is something else you might not know, Beta-carotene and other antioxidants and nutrients are safe and valuable when found in foods but not always when found in supplemental forms. Though, many of today's diets do not offer sufficient nutrition to continue good healthiness so supplementation might still be a good solution. - 29161
