Overloaded with fat loss news and confused how to lose fat from your stomach?

Here’s 8 simple tips to wipe out 250 calories a day that doesn’t require any additional

work -

1. Fact - Water is great for you. It has no calories, so it’s great for filling up.

Drink a glass of water at least 30 minutes before each meal as it can decrease your appetite.

Do this and you will avoid over-eating as much food as you normally would.

2. Forget the potatoes, breads, pastas, rice, and other starchy grains.

Look at foods with high density carbohydrates like spinach, broccoli, salad, cauliflower, green beans, and other green vegetables.

3. Love an ice cream? Instead of having your usual regular sized ice-cream, why not make it a small soft serve in a cup!

A small sacrifice like this will cut out 75% of the calories and reduce the stomach fat.

4. Eliminate all sources of liquid calories. These include alcoholic beverages, fruit juices, energy drinks and any other drinks that have sugar in them.

If you can’t eliminate the sugary drinks, then limit your liquid calories. Try to cut out 2 sugary drinks per day.

5. For oral health reason, you should brush your teeth after dinner. But this action alone will discourage most people from any late night snacking and desserts — And no one likes to re-brush their teeth, again.

6. Skip the bread and butter before dinner.

7. Go a week without your favorite junk food.

Choose an unhealthy food that you eat often and go without it for a week. Do this and you will cut out the bad calories.

Want to lose more stomach fat? Try not eating it for a month - you probably won’t miss it.

‘P57′ Is Hoodia Gordonii’s Active Ingredient

July 27th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Weight-Loss

Are you researching for natural health dieting aid that can help you lose weight effectively and without any side effects? Hoodia gordonii is one of the natural health dieting aids that is so popular these days.

As you start looking into hoodia gordonii, you will encounter the term p57. What is p57? How does it work? How can it help one to lose weight effectively?

Are you wondering what this is and where does it come from? Read on…

Hoodia gordonii is a cactus-like plant that can be seen at Kalahari Desert of South Africa. It has a slightly bitter taste and takes about 5 to 7 years before it matures. It was originally used by San people to suppress their hunger and thirst for long hunting.

For several years, scientists searched for dieting aid that can make one lose weight that is non-addictive and not harmful to people who will use it.

There had been some failures in terms of dieting before such as ephedra. There are some products that just harmed or affected people’s health. But as soon as this diet pill came in the market last 1990s, it produced lots of excitement. Since this dieting ad is not addictive, it was believed to be effective and safe, and it is known without any side effects.

this diet pill has p57. Now, what is p57? P57 is a glycoside which can be found in hoodia gordonii. This ingredient of hoodia gordonii is the only ingredient which can help people to lose weight. Way back, studies were conducted to know how this p57 works. They tested p57 with rats. They found out that p57 reduced the food intake of rats within the next 25 hours and had reduced the weight of the rats.

With those tests and studies made before, hoodia gordonii is known to have an active molecule named p57 which works by tricking the mind that you are full. So the more p57, the more weight you will lose.

This diet pill can make one lose weight, but you have to assure yourself that you will be getting the genuine hoodia product. Now that hoodia is so popular in dieting world, more and more companies are producing fake ones to supply the customers’ demands. These fake products can waste your money and can harm your health. So stay away from these products. Do a little research to get the real ones.

When taking hoodia gordonii, you have to follow directions. It is best to combine it with balanced diet and little exercise. Eat foods that have proper nutrients. Allocate at least 30 minutes of your time each day exercising. It is advisable to drink plenty of water each day.

Cooking Light for One

July 27th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Weight-Loss

Late in December, I received a letter from a dieting reader who needed suggestions for cooking for one.

Anne Cotter’s note revealed that she was frustrated that most diet-related cookbooks offered recipes for four and six diners. As a single person, she always had to divide recipes or deal with leftovers - something that she didn’t find desirable given her love of variety and lack of fridge and freezer space.

After reading Anne’s letter (hey, Anne’s first initial, A, is today’s mystery letter) I realized how right she was to complain about this feature in diet-style cookbooks. While I was dieting with earnest (see yesterday’s post) I was basically preparing food for one. Now that I have only a few pounds left to lose, I am just eating smaller portions of the food I prepare for the rest of the family. And, when I think about most dieters I know, it’s seldom that the whole family is eating diet food. More often, only one or two people in the household are dieting.

So, what can lone dieters do? Here are a few suggestions from my experience.

- Stick to very basic entrees such as a grilled skinless, boneless chicken breast, veal or turkey scaloppini sauteed in cooking spray. Finish these meats with small amounts of light cooking sauces, salsa or calorie-reduced salad dressing to add flavour.

- Buy 100-calorie packs of treats so that you can at least snack easily.

- Consult a book such as Going Solo in the Kitchen and use the seasoning proportions in the recipes but make the substitutions necessary to remove calories from fat such as using cooking spray instead of butter or oil and substituting light dairy products for full fat, etc.

- Making single-portion versions of most casseroles is fussy if you eschew batch cooking. So, if making your own freezer entrees isn’t desirable, buy frozen or store-prepared, refrigerated light versions of casseroles from a grocery store and save your cooking energies for making faster-to-prepare foods like the ones mentioned above.

Weight Loss Tips

July 27th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Weight-Loss

I wrote an article on losing weight before. It was well received and I have added some new tips.

Lift weights. A lot of people only think of this when they want to get stronger. But you can burn a lot of calories when you lift and it can speed up your metabolism for hours afterwards.

Run sprints. Another common misconception is that you need long endurance running to burn calories.

But running sprints at top speed for 8 to 10 seconds can burn a lot of calories and speed up the metabolism.

It’s also great for people that want to lose weight without hurting there explosive capability (endurance running will hinder your explosiveness. I once heard that most marathon runners have a 12″ vertical jump.)

You don’t necessarily have to eat less. You might just need to change what you eat.

Try eating more fruits, vegetables, lean meats grains and low fat dairy products. I recommend having skim milk you can even have chocolate milk as that is usually low fat.

You should eat healthy and watch your calories five days a week but you can take two days a week to eat more and enjoy less healthy foods.

If you want to eat something that you shouldn’t during the “rest of the week” then eat it in the morning. You should eat less as the day gets later.

Sometimes it’s best to eat a little something now rather than a lot later. What I mean by that is that just quitting your favorite foods cold turkey can cause you to really pack them in later.

So letting yourself have some every now and then can help give you the drive to keep watching what you eat. Use the two days a week where you are allowed to eat more and the early morning eating you help you with this. It can be a lot easier to say “I can’t have that right now but I can have some in the morning” or “I can’t have that today but in a couple days I will be able to have as much as I want” as opposed to saying “I can never eat that again” or “I can’t have any till I lose at least 75 pounds”.

If you take that attitude you will probably give up before you get there.

Also I have heard that taking some sugar free gum can help you overcome cravings for sweets. I am not a fan of artificial sweeteners, but I do make an exception with gum. Any gum that you chew (sugar free or not) will have less calories for you then eating something. And not only can gum help overcome cravings but you are also less likely to eat something when you have gum in your mouth.

Not to promote tobacco use but have you ever known someone that chewed tobacco? They don’t eat when they have “just put a pinch in” the same thing can work for you! That’s why I recommend keeping a good tasting and long lasting gum with you.

When you get a craving for sweets, doesn’t work well when you are REALLY hungry but if you are just craving something or a little hungry then have some gum. Or if you are getting ready to go somewhere that you might be tempted like the gas station then pop in a piece.

Personally have chewed Extra sugar free gum, but I don’t think that it’s all that great. Anyway I would be more worried about what the sugar does to your teeth then gaining weight from gum with sugar in it. I have heard that Orbit sugar free sweetmint gum works well for this purpose.

Drink at least one glass of water BEFORE every meal. I also recommend have a glass of water or skim milk with ever meal to help fill you up.

To strengthen your body you slowly build up the weight and get progressively stronger.

To strengthen your mind you challenge it with progressively harder material.

The same thing can be done with your appetite. You should stop eating before you get full at every meal. If you eat till you are no longer famished but are not yet full you can progressively train yourself to feel satisfied with less.

We have probably heard it a hundred times at least but it’s probably worth mentioning at least one more time. Do the little things like taking the stairs instead of the elevator or park father away from the entrance and walk a little extra.

Make it a game what can you do to burn more calories today?

One of the biggest reasons that most people fail trying to lose weights is probably a combination of procrastination and hard to archive goals.

People put off dieting till things get really bad “I am not really that fat” “It’s just a little baby fat” “I will lose it easy enough when I want to” Then real quick they realizes that they are way over weight and they want to lose it right now! “I am huge and I am going somewhere warm for the holidays! I need to lose 50 pounds in two weeks so that I can go to the beach!”

Then they diet for a week and a halve actual lose a good 5 pounds but quit because they are not going to reach their goal and they feel the they can’t go there whole life without ever eating that “stuff” ever again (which is what they told themselves when they started this diet).

If they would have started sooner (like when they only had 25 pounds to lose and had 4 months to do it) then they could have worked themselves into shape (remember the sprints? Well they are a great weight loss tool but a lot of people that need to lose weight aren’t in good enough shape to do anything at top speed! By losing a little weight you can make it easier to lose more weight.)

They could have also took advantage of my “eating loop holes” and had that “stuff” that they were really craving. They could have had it in the morning or on there “off” days. And that might have even been able to eat just as much as they wanted if they changed there diet.

So some of the things that you can do to burn more fat are Lift weights, Sprint, Do little things to burn more calories, Eat less, Eat differently, Eat at different times.

All of this can be done in almost limitless combinations.

Lose Weight and Help The Heart

July 27th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Weight-Loss

Losing weight can seem like hard work but by doing so you will help your heart to get healthy. A new study which took place in the U.S. confirms that when you lose weight through exercise or diet it helps the elasticity of the heart. A test took place where 25 middle-aged adults lost a moderate amount of weight and this in turn appeared to restore some of the hearts youthful elasticity.

This let the heart relax in between contractions and refill with blood more efficiently. Experts of the fitness world say that by sticking to one specific exercise is enough to do the trick. This means that you will not have to do a rigorous exercise routine to get your heart back into shape.

Most experts say that the best workout is cardiovascular because this works the heart directly and burns calories. The other way is to watch what you are eating. Good fats, nuts, seeds and fiber from fruits help the heart. It’s not so much about eating less, it’s about eating wisely and to eat the right foods.

Other good ways to keep your heart healthy is to cut down on salts, exercise regular and keep to a routine, control your blood pressure (this is easy to do just by visiting your local G.P. he will check your blood pressure for you or you can easily buy a blood pressure kit from a number of shops), control your weight, avoid to much alcohol (this is key to a healthy heart, do not drink excessive amounts of alcohol).

True Health and Fitness - And How To Get There NOW

July 27th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Weight-Loss

What does it really take to have true health and fitness? Be assured that is much more than what you are being told! But…in the real world you have to start somewhere!

We certainly understand that the majority of “searchers” are completely frustrated by the myriad of conflicting health, diet and exercise sites out there. We know that most of us are really just looking for the means to generally loose weight and put some shape back into our bodies.

We’ve been there and done that…..So after years of seeing the “GOOD the BAD and the UGLY”, we have decided that it is our job to review the various books, websites and blogs and rate them from real value to real garbage (and everything in-between) and then recommend the ones that can and will make the RIGHT difference for you!

What makes the process more difficult is deciding which of the many variables make the information on a blog or web-site good? Are the instructions easy to understand and use? Is there good continuity between exercise and nutrition? Is the information correct on the bio-mechanics of the recommended exercises and, most importantly how much emphasis do they place on how food really interacts with body sculpting and total health!

Truth be known…..food is 70% of being in shape and exercise is how you decide your shape.

Best benefit (& most important); is the overall “body health” that you achieved is just 30 to 45 minutes a day of exercise (turn off the TV) and some smart food choices. (no, Dunkin Creamy Krispies DON’T count)

The overall feeling of well-being, both physically and psychologically are amazing….and it happens much quicker that you think.

It is truly all about YOU and YOUR choices! Try it and you will never go back!
