Fat Loss Programs – Do They Work?

Friday, August 27th, 2010

If you are struggling to get rid of weight, then maybe you should check out some fat loss programs. There are several effective programs out there that will set out exactly what you need to eat in order to get trim and fit. This article will give you a quick introduction to a few of them and tell you if you really need them.

There are all kinds of fat loss programs out on the market. When you want to lose weight, it’s almost impossible to sift through all of them. You want to make sure that you get something that is safe but also effective – especially since you will probably be spending some money in order to follow the plan.

The first plan that a lot of people look into is the Atkins Diet. It gained a lot of popularity several years ago. This diet is all about eating food that is high in protein. It also involves cutting out a lot of carbs. A lot of people like this diet because the guidelines don’t really do anything to restrict your intake of fat. Carbs are pretty easy to avoid – you just need to eat a lot of vegetables. Since you don’t need to worry about fat intake, you can also feel free to eat red meat as well. There are a few problems with this diet, however. You are encouraged to limit your intake of fruit, which can really have an impact on your energy levels if you depend on sucrose from fruits for a lot of your energy. You may also find that you are lacking fiber while you are following the Atkins Diet.

There is another diet called Choose to Lose which was developed by a certain Dr. Goor. This diet is all about cutting out fat from your diet. You are given a certain amount of fat that you can intake each day. Once you have eaten your allotted amount, you can have no more. This is a bit like another popular diet called ‘Weight Watchers’. This diet allows and encourages you to eat fruits and vegetables. Therefore, it may be a good choice for you if you want to steer clear of Atkins.

After you follow some fat loss programs for a while, you may decide that they really just aren’t for you. Luckily, there is an alternative. You can simply create your own healthy diet plan. You just need to start thinking hard about what you are eating. You can try to think of foods to eat that are low in fat and high in nutritional value. These are foods like lean meat and poultry. Try taking bacon out of your diet and adding in turkey bacon. Or you could try switching over to turkey meat for you burgers. It tastes almost exactly the same but has less than half of the fat and more nutritional value than red meat.

There is no reason why you can’t start your own fat loss program right now – start today. It just takes some careful planning and a lot of motivation. If you start eating healthier today, you could be a ‘new you’ in a matter of months!

Turbulence Training Review

Tuesday, July 27th, 2010

Turbulence Training is a program created by Craig Galantine, who is a ‘Men’s Health’ Magazine Expert and Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist. The plan is designed to enable you to loose fat and gain muscle without cardio and it uses three short but intense workouts per week. The plans keep changing in order to keep your body from adapting to a fixed routine and these changes work to stimulate rapid muscle growth.

Research has shown that high-intensity interval training (often called HIIT) combined with lifting heavier weights for fewer reps, is a better and more efficient way to build muscle and lose fat than lengthy cardio exercises, longer repetitions and training with lighter weights. The Turbulence Training program shows you how you can do only 3 workouts a week of 45 minutes each and loose fat while gaining body muscle. The program includes a warm up exercise that you do for 5 minutes followed by strength training of 15-20 minutes and then interval trading of 15-20 minutes as well.

While these workouts are shorter in duration and less frequent, the difficulty level is high. They are designed to make you do as much work as possible in a shorter duration of time, and you’ll feel that you have done some training by the time you complete a session.

A big advantage of the Turbulence Training program is that it does not bore you with repetition. A lot of people start fat loss programs with enthusiasm but stop doing it after a while because they just can do the same thing over and over again. In this program, you will be changing workout routines once a month. You are doing the same exercise only 12 times and this his does not allow your body to adapt itself to the changes which will halt your progress.

The program includes: “Turbulence Training System” in PDF & MP3 format, Dumbbell & Bodyweight Fusion workout manual, Nutrition guide by Chris Mohr, “20-Minute Workouts for the World’s Busiest Dads!”, Total Body Transformation Secrets, Turbulence Training for Mass (Muscle Building).

This workout system does not come with a diet plan and it may be too intense for some people. As you may have noticed this program is not for people who are looking to build some serious muscle. It is oriented more towards the combination of fat loss and muscle gain.

The system just asks for 45 minutes of your time 3 days a week. It has a routine that does not require too much time. So, if you have a busy schedule and can’t find time to loose those gained pounds, then this workout is something that you can do.

Dieting – Why Fad Diets Fail

Friday, July 23rd, 2010

Fad diets are those diets that claims fast weight loss in just a few days with minimum effort except to stick out with the diet plan. There are several of those being flooded into the market every month, always well advertised sometimes well endorsed and fatally frustrating. Simply put, fad diets are always starvation diets and therefore unrealistic. It fails this way.

Fad diets are foods that one has to endure. On top of that, a person on a fad diet is told to eat less and if the fad diet comes with an exercise program, to work more. The only saving value is that it is low on fat and generally low on sodium but so is water. These, therefore, need preparation. Every preparation however tastes unappealing bordering on being unpalatable.

Fad diets may sometimes come together with an exercise program. But if one is to observe carefully, initial weight loss happens this way. A body that perspire losses water and water is heavy. When the dieter checks their weight after exercising, there is truly a weight loss. But drink water and the body will go back to the original weight. The water that was lost during the exercise will only equal to the weight that was lost on perspiration. The impression however will be different.

The body then starts to slowly react to the starvation diet losing water in the cells which then translate to weight loss. As you continue the starvation diet, the body will start feeding at the muscle and therefore you lose weight. Because you are avoiding the eating of fat (which the body by the way also needs), the tendency of the body is to conserve all the fat that is in store. It will go on for a time, say 15 days, depending on your metabolism. Now, when the body has burnt most of the energy in the muscle, the person starts to get weak. The reason for this is that it is already starting to burn the fats that are stored in the body and which the body has tried much to conserve.

The irony is that, fats do not burn easy. Unlike other energy foods that the body is used burning to provide the energy to stay alive, burning the fat will in itself take more time to provide the energy needed and then the person on a fad diet starts being phlegmatic in movement. Performance will be poor, activity will slow, and even the exercises will take a lot more effort.

Obviously, the point in going on a diet is to be healthier, let alone fit. A fad diet works to the contrary. The weight loss effects are immediate; it always is because it has to be, but the desired effect and the ideals in which the dieter started with is not.

True enough weight loss happens even emaciation (if the person will last that long), but lack of energy and other unhealthy symptoms does too. For most people, realization sets in fast. The body that has been crying out for the nutrients to keep it functioning will eventually be heeded and the fad diet forgotten. As that happens, the person will start to eat and regain all that which was lost during the time that the body is being starved. And it usually does not end there. The cravings for food that has been suppressed are often overpowering to the point the dieter in fact starts gaining more.
