So Many Choices

Saturday, October 25th, 2008

It seems that almost every other day there is a new diet being promoted that is promising instant results overnight.

You have to understand that the diet industry is a huge industry where billions of dollars are spent and made and anything that can target a piece of that market can capture considerable amounts of wealth to those who can cash in on it.

There are so many choices available and various different diets and weight loss programs, that it is extremely difficult for somebody who has no knowledge of good nutrition, to know where to turn to when they want to lose weight.

Like almost anything you hear and read about that sounds too good to be true, it generally is. You must realize that it is not possible to go from being obese one week to being in shape where you can wear a bikini down to the beach and feel good a few days to a month later.

All the good nutrition, exercise and anything else you can do, can’t change your body that fast.

Sure, you can make yourself look a lot better in a small amount of time by following a good exercise regime and eating quality foods in reasonable quantities, but most people need to realize that it has taken them years to get to the stage where they are at the moment,  and to reverse the process overnight is not possible.

Rather than getting disheartened by reading this, you can look at all these different weight loss programs in a more realistic manner and see what they are actually offering that might help to give you good results in the long term.

You don’t get a set of ripped abs overnight just as you don’t trim your waist with only five minutes exercise a day and a milkshake.

By following proven weight loss and dietary methods, you will know that over the long haul, and with only a reasonable amount of effort and consistency, you will be able to shed those extra pounds and keep them off for good. These fad diets that promise everything generally deliver nothing except a hole in your bank account.

Read, research, inquire, or ask your doctor which might be the best program for you. Even if you continue eating the way you are right now, if you exercise 3 to 5 times a week for 30 - 45 minutes each time, you can lose weight but at a much slower pace. Exercise,  proper eating habits and nutrition go hand in hand to weight loss and fitness.

Green Tea Weight Loss Plan

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

Many people are now turning to inexpensive and natural green tea weight loss plans to help them in their weight control efforts. It is simple too! Green tea can be drunk like any other tea, usually without milk or sweeteners, or if you do not like the taste, you can purchase green tea extract.

Research has shown that green tea helps to reduce weight by stimulating the body’s thermogenesis process, which increases the expenditure of energy and the oxidization of fat in the body. Many compounds found in plants have this effect. The special thing about green tea is that it does not increase the heart rate, and is therefore believed to be safer than diet pills such as ephidrine that also work by stimulating thermogenesis.

A lot of people who are overweight have or are at risk of developing hypertension and other cardiovascular problems, so the fact that green tea does not put pressure on the heart makes it a good choice. Ephidrine is not usually recommended if you are in this group but green tea is considered a safe option. It means that you can gradually increase your exercise levels without increasing your risk of heart problems.

There are only two ways to lose weight: one way is by eating less (consuming fewer calories) and the other is by increasing expenditure of energy (using up more calories). Green tea works by increasing output and this can be by around 4%. Most scientists believe that this is caused by the high quantity of catechin that is in the tea and its extract.

Green tea has the added benefit of containing powerful antioxidants that may be beneficial to your health in many ways, strengthening the immune system and protecting against disease.

Keep in mind that green tea does contain caffeine so you should cut out coffee and other forms of tea and some sodas while you are taking it. Decaffeinated green tea is not recommended because the chemical processes that are used to remove the caffeine may destroy the beneficial properties of the plant.

At the same time you will need to exercise control in what you eat. If you eat more to compensate for the calories that are burnt by the tea, you will not lose any weight. Keeping to the same caloric intake that you are now taking, green tea should result in gradual weight loss and better energy levels over a few weeks. You can of course increase the speed of this by reducing calorie consumption and/or increasing exercise.

Green tea is a simple, easy and inexpensive weight control aid that can easily be incorporated into any weight loss program. The choice of tea or extract offers something for everybody. Natural and safe, green tea weight loss could be used in your program if you want to keep the weight off permanently.

You’ll Never Live to See 40…

Friday, March 21st, 2008

On the 13th I told you about “Fit Over 40″ for those of us who…well…I guess the title is pretty self-explanatory, isn’t it? It’s for older codgers - who want to (finally!!) get into shape.

My article and book both talked about”modeling,” which is finding someone who’s already done what you want to do, and copying them to achieve success fast.

So what’s the big deal about modeling, anyway?  Well, if you want a super shortcut to success, modeling is a HUGE deal. Why you ask?

Imagine someone blazes a trail across uncharted territory to a new destination. Now YOU want to get to that same destination. You can either…

a) Blaze your own trail, which is difficult, arduous and a royal time-consuming pain in  the  #$%%^&.. or you can…

b) Use the trail THEY blazed and simply follow in their footsteps to get where you’re going  quickly and easily. Hmmm, now which one should you choose…

Further, seeing other people who were in WORSE shape than you are, who were OLDER than you are when they started to get in shape, should INSPIRE you. After all, if they can do it, YOU can do it, right?

Of course!!  You just have to know HOW they did it and then do what they did. Simply a ‘no-brainer’!

Even if you’re in your 50’s, really overweight, totally out of shape, you can be helped. And really, you’re never to old!! To see proof of this, go to http://www.fitover40.com/about and scroll about halfway down to where you see the ten photos of people. The first one is a 77 year old woman who COMPETES in bodybuilding…

The third one was 46 and morbidly obese…now he runs in races UP SKYSCRAPER STAIRS…

The fifth one is a 62 year-old man who looks better today than he did at 22…

The seventh one regenerated 75% of his DEAD heart tissue and now competes in bodybuilding at age 74… and so forth.

If they can do it, YOU can do it.

What benefits you can expect to see on this program? You’ll have…

…more muscles and energy,..stronger immune system,…stronger heart,…fewer inches,… thinner waistline,…better sex life,…higher bone density,…fewer aches and pains,…higher levels of naturally-released growth hormone and testosterone. Further, you’ll be… better looking,…more resistant to disease,…much more mentally alert. Check out the author of the book here and see what makes him an expert!

The author is Jon Benson. He was so out of shape and in such poor health at the age of 35, that his doctor told him if he didn’t change his ways, Jon would never live to see 40. That was Jon’s wake-up call. He heard Tony Robbins say, “Role modeling is an easy shortcut to massive results fast.” So Jon found people who had been significantly obese or sick, who managed to turn their health completely around. He learned everything he could about what they did, and then he implemented those strategies into his own life.

In 12 months, Jon totally reversed the damage he had done to his body and literally slashed at least 10 - 15 years off his biological age. You can see and read about some of Jon’s mentors on his webpage and you can discover his secrets in “Fit Over 40″.

The only valid excuse for NOT getting into shape is if you’re already dead. On Jon’s website, you can scroll down to where you see the list of excuses. Look for yours, and then read Jon’s answer to it. One of Jon’s mentors is even in a wheel chair. Another was paralyzed and now runs, skis and lifts weight. A third lost 75% of his heart.

Now really, what excuse could you possibly have to top those?

Stop stalling. Go right now. Do yourself a favor. I guarantee, it’ll be the best thing you’ve ever done for yourself.
