Fat Loss Plans and Exercise

Fat loss plans, complete with meal suggestions and custom recipe books, are usually far from complete. So many diets are pre-packaged in terms of volumes of how to cook, meal plans and approved recipes. Some of the most popular and well-known diets even provide branded, prepackaged foods designed for their clients' success (and the diet company's bottom line).

The food, cooking how to and lists of approved vs. forbidden eating choices are all there. What could possibly be lacking? Exercise, plain and simple.

Fat Loss

Perhaps it is suggested in some obscure chapter as a means of optimizing results, but rarely is exercise pushed to the forefront of fad diets or diet enrollment clubs. Yet exercise is and always will be an absolutely essential part of any long lasting life style change.

Why is exercise so essential to your fat loss plans?

Exercise and exercise-related topics generally split the general public into three groups: the ones who get it and do it, the ones who just don't get it and the ones who understand why they should do it but still don't.

The right motivation usually makes the changing difference. Here's a dose of motivation. Muscle burns energy, which translates to fat loss at a more rapid rate even during periods of rest, like sleeping. How great would it be to know your body is consuming more excess calories and fat during that afternoon nap?

How does exercise help you lose weight even when you're not active?

Exercise increases energy levels. The population segment that just doesn't get it will dismiss this claim as rubbish, but the proof is in the pudding so to speak. Have you ever observed a run down, lethargic exercise nut? No, these are usually the perky to a fault type of person who looks perfect in a size 4.

Don't worry; spending 30 minutes four to five times a week at the gym will not transform your personality to match that of a pep squad hopeful. It will however rid you of the midmorning or late afternoon fade. Foggy headedness and cloudy thought processes become clearer and energy levels improve.

Sleep habits are also affected for the better. Let's face it there are times in anyone's life when they'd sell their kidneys for a good night's sleep. The price isn't nearly so high: just get your spandex on and pump that iron regularly. You'll find yourself sleeping like a baby in no time.

That's great, but what about weight loss?

The list of exercise virtues could fill several volumes, but what exactly does it all have to do with being the vital completing element of fat loss plans?

Run down bodies do not lose weight, or if they do they plateau quickly. A body that does not feel good is trying to tell its owner something is amiss. The body will self-preserve (i.e. retain fat) if those signals are ignored.

This really is great news for dieters everywhere. Why? Because it means that on the days you stick to your diet, you should actually feel better than when you don't.

Getting back to the topic of sleep, studies show a very clear link between sleep and fat loss. Plans to diet and lose weight don't matter. Clinical studies prove that sleep deprived bodies cling to every last fat cell and are unwilling to give them up. Exercise promotes healthy sleep habits and sleep enables the body to process fat into usable energy resulting in the incredible shrinking you.

These are just a few of the reason quality fat loss plans shine a spotlight on exercise as a vital element.

Weight Loss Metabolism - Could Phytonutrients Switch On Your Fat Burning Genes?

The goal of most dieters is to lose weight quickly and easily, and in order to achieve this, we need to make sure that our weight loss metabolism is in good health and burning energy as fast as possible.

But is there really a way to 'switch on' your fat burning genes? Could phytonutrients hold the key to speeding up your weight loss metabolism?  And if phytonutrients actually are the new fat-burning secret,  what are they, how can you find them and why are they so effective?

Fat Loss

Few people understand the importance of carbohydrates and many dieters believe that pasta, bread and potatoes just about cover the entire subject.

How wrong this is!

Every food that isn't a protein or a fat falls into the category of being a carbohydrate. By definition, this includes vegetables, fruit, seeds, nuts and whol egrains.  Furthermore, this broad category can be sub-divided into carbohydrates that contain phytonutrients and refined or processed carbohydrates.

You don't need to be a genius to guess that one sub-division are 'good' carbohydrates and the other 'bad'  carbohydrates. In fact, processed carbohydrates have had all their nutrients stripped out in the refining process and contain nothing more than 'empty' calories.

So what exactly are phytonutrients?

Phyto simply means plant so phytonutrients are those nutrients that derive from plant carbohydrates and they are worth their weight in gold to anyone wanting to maximise their weight loss and boost their weight loss metabolism. Not only do they deliver energy from their carbohydrate component but they actually 'switch on'  the genes that are responsible for burning fat in our bodies.

And the good stuff doesn't stop there - phytonutrients are also responsible for helping you to age less quickly.

Phytonutrients contain highly powerful antioxidant properties and these antioxidants effectively help heal any inflammation and damage that has occurred right down at cell level. The obvious benefit to your long-term health is overwhelming.

So it's plain to see why it's so important to fill your diet with plant based carbohydrates and avoid the empty, white, processed carbohydrates found in pasta, flour and bread at all costs.

Thankfully, carbohydrates that contain phytonutrients are freely and easily available, if you know how to identify them and you'll be glad to hear that you only need to remember one Golden Rule:

Only eat carbohydrates that come from whole, unprocessed plant foods.

And it really is no co-incidence that foods containing high levels of phytonutrients are also low Glycemic load foods - that is, foods that take a long time to fully digest, making your feel fuller for longer, regulating your blood glucose levels and so preventing damaging insulin 'spikes'.

One very useful tip to remember when identifying the best phytonutrient-rich fruit and vegetables is that  the deeper  the colour, the greater the level of these wonderful, antioxidant, fat burning plant nutrients will be.

In conclusion then, it seems that phytonutrients really do hold the key to switching on your fat burning genes and delivering a  welcome boost to your weight loss metabolism. Not only will you be able to lose weight faster but their anti ageing properties will keep you looking young and feeling healthy far into the future.

Why Jenny Craig Food Doesn't Work and Why Fat Loss 4 Idiots Truly Works!

It is puzzling to note that while low-fat and low-carb diets have never been this popular, the number of individuals with weight problems is still increasing in a fast rate. If these diet plans really work like what the reviews and the many endorsements indicate, why does it results refuse to show? If so many individuals are patronizing these weight loss programs, how come they never seem to take effect? Just when I realized that maybe a diet composed of food with as little fat and carbohydrates possible is not really the key to a successful weight loss. Maybe the Jenny Craig Weight Loss program is really wrong and their diet plan is just designed to deceive people for their company to gain money? Maybe the solution to weight problems is really to eat foods that could enhance your body's fat burning capabilities just like what the Fat Loss 4 Idiots state.

I had to give that a shot and in just 11 days, saw wonderful results. Their website is not lying. Their diet plan was really formulated to burn fat easily. Unlike Jenny Craig food, the food prescribe by the Fat Loss 4 Idiots program is not pre-packaged and not being sold. Customers will be the one to prepare their own food and not have it delivered to their houses weekly and drain them of money. Jenny Craig food is unbelievably expensive it makes other people think it contains some chemical that would make them lose weight automatically when it really is just normal food that has less fat and carbohydrates. Not to mention that they deliver this in unusually small servings claiming to aim to just reduce the calorie intake of the individual.

Fat Loss

It is hard to imagine that they are selling normal food made only a little healthier for ridiculously high prices. Where does the cost come from? The packaging? The delivery? Why worry about that when you could just get the perfect guide for your weight losing diet and just prepare it on your own? Plus, eating Jenny Craig food would only slow down your metabolism. I do not know if you have heard but not having enough calories and carbohydrates in your body actually makes you less able to function. Money is not the only thing they drain out of you, your energy, too. This just further proves that the Jenny Craig program would never serve long-term purposes. Besides the fact that they are selling extremely expensive foods that average people could not avail for so long, following their diet plan would only hinder your body's fat burning capabilities.

You might think that taking in less fat would make you lose weight for some time but in the long run, your metabolism would be so slow that all the remaining fat in your body would never go away. This would be true unless of course you engage yourself in another diet program that uses other measures and stop relying on pre-packaged Jenny Craig food. I have experienced the benefits of the Fat Loss 4 Idiots weight loss program. It did not only produce immediate results, it also did not ransack my bank account. With this, I hope other people would realize too that Jenny Craig food is really not the right thing to eat and the Fat Loss 4 Idiots program is the one that truly works.

Is the Cross Trainer - Elliptical Machine Useless for Fat Loss?

If you are using an elliptical-type machine for intervals, then I believe that you are not getting the results you deserve. Especially if you're not using my Elliptical MP3 Workouts! In my opinion, the elliptical machines are one of the least effective methods for losing fat when used in the traditional way most people employ them.

What do I mean by that? Well, most people like the elliptical machine because it seems easy and low stress on the body and joints. This means that you're not doing any work!!!
The elliptical is only effective once the resistance is kicked up several notches so you feel like your muscles are actually working instead of simply going along with the machines momentum for a nice stroll in the park!

Fat Loss

If used properly, this machine can be a miracle fat burning as it activates more muscle than any other form of cardio. However, do it incorrectly and you're wasting your time.

We recently ran a focus group on my Elliptical MP3 Workouts in a local gym in Toronto. Asking people to try these iPod/MP3 cardio workouts, I came across a fit young woman whom I always see on the elliptical. So I asked her if she would be willing to give the program a shot. She said certainly and then immediately asked if she could still read her magazines while doing the workout. After asking why she reads during her elliptical workouts she replied "Because it passes the time and I don't get as bored."

I assured that these workouts are very engaging through my auditory coaching and heart pumping cardio music and that they provide a challenge that she's probably never experienced.

Ten minutes after she started the workout, I came back to see how she was doing. To my delight she was glistening with sweat and out of breath! After the 30-minute workout she came back to me and said it was one of the most challenging, enjoyable, and motivating workouts that she'd ever done. She didn't need to read her magazines and she was blown away at the technology and value that the program provided her.

The moral of the story is that our Elliptical MP3 Workouts are designed based on what scientific studies tell us about what works and what doesn't. These workouts challenge not only your cardiovascular system, but also all of your bodies muscles because they incorporate a significant resistance component.

So the problem is not the elliptical itself -- it's just that it tends to allow/promote momentum (as most people have the resistance too low) from bodyweight alone. So unless you crank up the resistance and actually produce some force and/or MOVE your bodyweight - it's nothing but momentum. So if you're not actively using your muscles to produce some sort of force you aren't burning many calories!

So if you're serious about burning fat and training your cardiovascular system, then check out our Elliptical MP3 Workouts for the greatest elliptical workout of your life!

Xtreme Fat Loss Diet Review

The Xtreme Fat Loss Diet, recently released by Joel Marion and John Romaniello, has put out claims to be the fastest fat loss program in existence. Pushing out numbers like 25 pounds lost in 25 days is something that's hard to beat. Frankly, with all of the overinflated, over hyped diets and systems recently, it's hard to believe any of these claims anymore. Does the Xtreme Fat Loss Diet stand out from the rest of the pack?

I believe it does. Both John and Joel have put out extremely successful products on the topic of weight loss before, including Cheat Your Way Thin, widely loved by dieters everywhere. If that's not enough base credibility, it was tested by fitness model Vince DelMonte to get in shape for an upcoming photo shoot. His photographers were not disappointed.

Fat Loss

How does it work? Everyone seemed to enjoy the concept of the cheat day so much that Joel refined it and incorporated a specified training system around it. Instead of the cheat day adding a bit of fat in order to keep up metabolism, it now can be used to pack on muscle and rev up your metabolism even more for the coming week.

These cheat days come every five days, and utilize other little-known concepts, such as exhaustion of your glycogen stores prior to your cheat day to avoid any fat gain.

John Romaniello has created unique workouts that synergize with this diet system to produce maximum results. These specialized workouts haven't been shown anywhere else. They're rather impressive when you see them.

The Xtreme Fat Loss Diet system eliminates the guesswork and gives you a simple step by step guide to follow, and it's guaranteed to work. But do notice I said simple, not easy. Extreme gets thrown around a lot these days casually, but this is the real deal. You have to put in real effort to get the real results. After all, losing a pound per day is nothing to laugh at.

This is an excellent system, but it isn't for everyone. Don't get it if you aren't willing to put in the necessary effort. Don't get it if you aren't ready to drop huge amounts of body fat and be accused by your envious friends of getting liposuction. Otherwise, jump on the bandwagon and grab yourself a copy.

If you don't need to lose a full 25 pounds, you can still use this to get to the point you want. There are also 7 bonuses to the core package to help ensure that you get there as fast as possible.

Accelerate Fat Loss - How To Lose Weight Fast

How to accelerate fat loss to lose weight fast is the primary challenge dieters face as they look in the mirror and try to decide what the first step is. The formula is tough to get right, but luckily Asian women have been losing weight and keeping it off for generations and everyone can easily learn from our secret techniques and tricks!

Accelerate Fat Loss - How To Lose Weight Fast

Fat Loss

Even if you're just starting out and have never seriously changed your diet or what you eat previously, you can still lose 3 to 5 pounds your very first week.

It's true. You just have to learn what that first step is that can help you get going on the path.

For Asian cultures, we tend to try and accelerate weight loss through a few basic starting points. The first of which is, you guessed it, breakfast.

Breakfast is incredibly important because it determines what your metabolism and body are going to do with the food you eat for the rest of the day. You wake up, your blood sugar levels are down, your body is usually in a coma-like post-sleep state (almost like a mini hibernation) and you may not "feel" hungry.

Force yourself to do the following:

Prepare half a grapefruit, a piece of whole wheat toast, and a fist-sized portion of any of the following: Lean meat, chicken, fish, tofu, or soy.

That's right, you have to make a protein-based food your first starting point of the day, which is something Asian women do consistently. It sounds strange talking about chicken or fish for breakfast I know, but in reality it's the best thing you can do to start your body on the RIGHT track to keeping insulin levels in check and allowing you to feel full all day long.

Protein takes time to run through our bodies, and during that time the body stops the next hunger attack from coming on its own...you don't have to do anything or fight off cravings. It works, give it a shot tomorrow!

Another Trick To Getting The Body you Want

Needless to say, everyone I talk with these days is sick of the latest diet programs, where you're either STARVING or trying to live through BRUTAL workouts to drop weight. Instead...

...download and read my latest FREE eBook to quickly learn a simple but powerful technique that Asian women have been using forever to get skinny fast without suffering. Let me teach you how to accelerate fat loss in just a few minutes a day...even while watching TV.

Fat Loss

How do all these fat loss programs, diet plans, and exercises work? Losing weight is all about the use of energy. The food nutrients coming from your daily food intake are converted into energy once they are ingested in the body. Some of these nutrients are not changed to energy and so they are stored in the body or eliminated. The stored nutrients become fats. When you're into a fat loss program, diet plan, or an exercise regime, your body requires more energy; and since you eat a limited amount of food, the energy supply of the body is not enough. To get more energy, the body turns to the stored fat and converts it to energy. This is the body's way to burn fat. Through regular exercise, metabolism is boosted and so your body is able to digest the foods efficiently. At this instance, your body is also using more energy.

For those who are currently into a low carbs or low fat diet plans, you are providing your body with a limited amount of nutrients and so very little nutrients are converted into stored fat. The result will be weight loss or you will not gain any weight.
