22 Jan 10 No Nonsense Long Term Weight Loss

If you’re trying to lose weight, exercise is really only about half the battle. Exercise alone isn’t going to burn enough calories to really make you lose weight quickly. If you really want to lose weight you have to combine exercise with a more healthy lifestyle. The phrase “you are what you eat” is more true than you imagine.

If you’ve started an exercise routine recently, remember that more exercise is going to increase your appetite. You have to counteract this by being strong, and not in taking more calories than your diet allows. One mistake that many weight loss seekers fall into is allowing themselves to eat more calories after a workout, because of the appetite they’ve worked up. That’s a mistake, as exercise on the whole doesn’t burn very many calories unless you’ve done a ridiculous amount. Eating more calories after a workout is going to erase your workout, and keep the pounds piling on.

Remember to be diligent about working out. You have to keep working out to make a big difference. You can’t try for a few days and then take a week off. In order to lose weight and really make a difference, you need to be working out 3-4 times a week, featuring fairly intense sessions. That’s the only way to force your body to change, and whip yourself into shape.

Eating healthy is probably the biggest hurdle, and most important practice of all. Only by eating healthy can you ensure that all the other steps you’ve taken will be effective. You need to eat nutritious, low calorie meals, cutting your overall normal calorie intake. That way you’re losing weight from cutting calories, and also from exercise. That double threat is the fastest way to lose weight, and keep the weight off. You don’t need crazy diets, just diligence to perform the most tried and true method.

25 Jun 09 Foods That Burn Fat

There is no such thing as a diet that will yield you quick results with little to no effort on your part. And as a smart consumer, you should ensure you never tread into the pitfalls of the dieting trend industry by lying to yourself and believing that there is an easier alternative than the tried and true method of diet and exercise. Seriously, nothing works as well as eating healthier and exercising more. But within those bounds there are also a few foods that you can add to your diet to help in your bid to eradicate that belly fat.

Seven of the most potent healthy diet choices are:

Fiber
Water
Salads
Lean Protein
Berries
Nuts and Seeds
Olive Oil

Fiber is absolutely your friend, as it’s not only extremely healthy for you digestive system, but also so that you can control your blood sugar levels. The more in check your blood sugar is, the more in check your appetite will be. Also foods higher in fiber tend to be lower in calories. So always go whole grain.

Water is a fantastic substitute for your usual soft drink, or coffee, or energy drink. You may not get the same caffeine/sugar kick, but your body will feel much, much better. Not to mention the fact that water is a 0 calorie drink.

Eating a salad made only from uncooked fresh fruits and vegetables is not only healthy, but also low calorie, as long as you stick to a reasonable portion size. Use something simple like lemon, or another fruit to serve as that dressing flavor, and you’ll be cutting the calories, and raising your intake of healthy fruits and vegetables.

Lean protein is fantastic as protein has few calories and is a great muscle builder. More muscle means more calories burned more easily. Not to mention lean protein can boost your metabolism. Look to lean meats like chicken, or go for healthier alternatives like soy protein.

Berries like fiber helps level out your blood sugar level, helping you keep better control of that appetite, plus they’re full of healthy antioxidants and vitamins.

Nuts and seeds are a fantastic substitute to other fatty foods you may eat. In part because they contain monounsaturated fat, which is infinitely easier for you to burn off than fats found in most other fatty foods or snacks.

Olive oil, the healthiest oil around. Not only is olive oil good for you, but also contains enzymes that turn off your craving towards other unhealthy and fatty oils. Using olive oil instead of other oils is proven to decrease the amount of saturated fats you intake, increasing your likelihood of keeping that fat burned off for good.
