 Stay Focused and you Will Lose Weight

Listen, I was fat too. I was fat until one day, I decided it is over. I decided I will stay focused until I lose my weight, and that I will stay focused for the rest of my life on trying not to gain too much weight. And you know what ? It simply works.

Don`t believe those tablet gurus that will try to sell you “lose 5 pounds with our pill” things. It just doesn`t work, and never will. You know why? Because losing weight is not all about losing it temporarily. It`s about maintaining your weight. That`s why diets will never, ever work.

Staying focused on your goal to lose weight is the key. I bet the people that try to sell their products never told you this. After all, who`d repeatedly buy their pills if you didn`t gain weight again. Their strategy is simple: you buy the pills, you lose some weight, and then you gain some more. After that, you buy them again because you think they work. That`s not the way of healthy life.

Many people who have successfully lost their weight tell me that they managed to do that because they didn`t quit. It`s not about the exercise program, or another diet. It`s about not quitting. This is the most important thing you should do, and I guarantee you will lose your weight and become a happier person.

If you think you can succeed by practicing sports, go for it. It`s better than staying at your computer for hours. If you think that you will lose weight by taking aerobics classes, go for it. But never quit, because the moment you quit you`ll start to be desperate again, and the whole thing will start going in circles. Do something to lose weight, and stay focused on it.

This is a Fabulous Article about How to Gain Energy and Weight Loss…

Posted on by

How can I gain energy and feel healthier?

After having my child a year ago I gained weight. Which is draining me of energy. In addition to losing weight are there any vitamins or anything that can help me feel healthier and more energetic?

Okay…Here we go! This is my theory and this is what works for me. Everyone is different so it may need to be adjusted to your own personal needs.

Energy In/Energy Out Food Intake: 1,200 Per Day One Pound equals 3,500 Calories

To loose one pound per day, You need to burn your food intake plus your one pound of fat 1,200 (intake) + 3,500 (Outtake) = 4,700 Calories Burn You must burn at least 4,700 Calories everyday to loose one pound atleast. It is very easy to go up and beyond 4,700 calories each day. Best way to do this is to track your progress on a calorie counter monitor watch.

If you do it by the numbers you can loose the weight. It is just a matter of changing the way you think about weight loss. Once you start wearing your calorie counter you can see the numbers increase and you fill find yourself doing extra things in your day, like tapping your foot while witing at the light in your car, chewing gum, singing outloud and so on ontop of your workout routines.

You begin to see that everything you do in your day contributes to the overall numbers needed to loose that pound. I myself have done this recently. Two weeks later, I lost one pant size and 10 pounds. I personally burn 1,000 calories by Walking in my community for one hour in the morning and I also burn 1,000 calories by simply playing xbox while playing tetrus. I get so involved in playing xbox that I completely forget I am pedaling or working out. Think about it..How many hours have you spent playing video games..why not burn calories while you are doing it.

___ Water Intake/Less Storage

Most people do not get enough water in their system. Water is your body’s principal chemical component, comprising, on average, 60 percent of your weight. Every system in your body depends on water. For example, water flushes toxins out of vital organs, carries nutrients to your cells and provides a moist environment for ear, nose and throat tissues.

Lack of water can lead to dehydration, a condition that occurs when you don’t have enough water in your body to carry out normal functions. To determine if you are getting enough water use this simple formula.. Take your weight, for example 150 pounds and divide by 2. Take your answer which is 75 lbs and change it to ounces, in this case 75 ounces. That is how many ounces of water you need a day. Your body performs mostly on water. If you make sure you get enough water everyday your body will perform at top notch and your body will no longer have the cravings of junk food. You will have a better performing body system to help you work out and feel better thru out your day.

____ Good Food My favorite things to eat: Avacado Wraps Simple: Low Carb Tortilla, Half Avacdo sliced, alpha sprouts, lettuce, soy bacon…Just wrap it up and eat. You can vary the things you put inside so long as you keep it to approx 4 or 5 items.

You want to make sure they are fresh, low calorie and filling. Avacado and mushrooms can replace meats in your meal and still have great taste. Special K Cereals are fantastic. They have that sweetness that one craves and is so good for you. Calories are low. Great for even just dinner. First thing in the morning…A Glass of Chocolate Milk. Yup!!

Chocolate Milk. We all crave that “got to have” item in the morning. Milk is the best thing you can have for yourself while working out. The chocolate (and you can use Carnation Instant Milk for this but I simply use Nestle dry mix) will give you that sweet “snack” that you need. If you give your body a little bit of it and its in a control way, you will not crave sweets and junk the rest of the day.

Lean Cusines Fantastic food! Each meal is approx 180 t0 380 calories per box. So think about your calories. 1,200…You can still have several of these meals a day and still be under your intake requirements. Its all amout the numbers and watching what you take in and what you burn out. And you know what..if you go over your 1,200 mark for food intake…thats okay…you simple up your total calories burned for the day by what you took it.

So long as you burn off the over all calories to be more than your food intake. Just make sure you stick too it so you can reach your weight loss goals. Fruits and Veggies All you want on the schedule listed below. Banana’s are my favorite. They are very filling and can make a meal all on their own.

____ Vitamins

My favorite is ONE A DAY WITH ENERGY…I am in love with this vitamin because I am just like everyone else who loves those quick fix energy drinks. But what people do not realise is that energy drinks can contain 120 to 440 calories in just ONE Can. If you think about it..That is HALF of your allowed calories for food intake. The best alternative I have found is One a day with energy vitamin. Easy to spot, it is packaged in a green label bottle. Just One vitamin a day will give you as much energy as approx. 1 1/2 cans of red bull…WITHOUT the calorie intake. WoW..now your making progress already because you have made more room in your intake calories for actual healthy food.

_____ Soda/Carbination

Carbination is terrible for your system because it bloats your stomach. And when your stomach bloats, your jeans just don’t fit. You can drop one pant size simply by NOT drinking any carbinated drinks all together..Take away the bloat and you have instantly just made it one pant size lower. Besides, Sodas dehydrate you and with that One a Day Vitamin, you won’t need the Caffenie in the soda and it will also cut out those extra calories that you don’t need.

So remove that soda and the energy drinks and just think how much calories you just instantly removed from your daily intake. I normally consume what…four sodas and two energy drinks in one day…that is a total of …. 900 calories..Of what???

Nothing…Those are horrible calories and calories that can be replaced by food which will fuel your body for your day and your workouts.

____ Your Body

Your body is like a computer. You must program your body to do what it is suppose to do so it won’t crash and leave you with a virus. Your stomach is only the size of your fist. So think about it right now, Look at your hand and close your fist. Not very big is it.

That is how much food you actually ONLY need to eat, each time you eat for every meal. If you eat anything more than that, you will stretch out your stomach which causes overeating and overweight.

What you need to do is eat every three hours, approx 5 to 7 times everyday around the same time. If you are always giving your body healthy and better food choices (the size of your fist) every three hours, your body will know you are giving it food. It will use that food properly.

It will not go into starvation mode or store food away for later because it knows…it will get more in three hours. So what does your body do…it flushes everything out of your system because it doesn’t need it.. I Now knows…you wont’ forget about it and that food is on its way.

____ Walking Buddy

This is the best thing especially for woman. Get a walking buddy. One hour everyday. Just think about how much talking, venting and laughing two woman can do together while walking and yup, you guessed it…it just burns more calories and reduces your stress.

You now are more relaxed because you can talk and free yourself of whatever is frustrating you while getting into shape. : By: My own experience/Joyceeleann

How can I lose weight?

How can I lose weight?

It’s stupid. I keep giving other Yahoo people advice on how to lose weight but I can’t seem to take my own advice. I even read other answers people type but they just don’t soak in. I want to be fit but I have no self-motivation. My family or friends are no help either. Can you help me?

I understand. I’m the same way. I tell people the key to weight loss all the time, and it’s simple when it’s conceptual. When it comes time to actually exercise every day and eat less, more healthy, foods, I can’t do it. I lost a lot of weight at one point because I became really immersed in a game similar to Dance Dance Revolution, called Pump It Up. I played both very frequently and became very good at it.

My living situation changed, though, and I could no longer play as often, so I’ve gained weight since then. What I’m saying is that I think the key is finding a way to exercise for something other than the sake of exercising. Also dietary change.

An Article on Weight Loss Energy Gain While You Sleep!

How To Lose Weight While You Sleep

Most of us simply take sleep for granted. We assume we need our “rest” without ever thinking much about it. But the most important function of sleep is to allow our bodies to regenerate themselves. If we engage in physical exercise or muscle-taxing work during the day, our muscles, ligaments, skin, cartilege and other working parts of our body are worn down in the process. The body needs a time of rest to rebuild these damaged parts. That is what happens during sleep.

In other words, the body engages in a restorative process during sleep. And this restorative process uses energy to rebuild both lean muscle mass and other kinds of body tissue. That is worth repeating — the rebuilding processes that take place during sleep use energy. And if the restorative processes are running smoothly and efficiently, the required energy comes from the places in our body where energy is stored — from our fat cells.

So while we sleep the body repairs and rebuilds organ tissue, ligaments, tendons and lean muscle by burning the calories we take in as food during the day. And if that is not enough, it will burn excess fat.

Several things about this process are worth noting. They have an important bearing on how efficiently it works.

Collagen is very important to the body repair process

Collagen is the most common protein found in our bodies. It is the main component of our skin, nails, bones, cartilage, and connective tissue and is found in all of the body organs. Cartilage is the cushion and shock absorber between joints, and the reason we stay flexible and mobile. But cartilage and other soft body tissues are the very things that break down during our normal daily activities. So healthy cartilage and other soft tissue is constantly being regenerated by the body naturally and this process which depends on a steady source of collagen contributes to keeping us youthful and flexible.

Unfortunately, as we age our bodies lose the ability to produce collagen at sufficient levels needed to support the restorative processes that our bodies are designed to perform. This can be a major contributor leading to a premature aged appearance and can seriously affect our flexibility and mobility.

Therefore it stands to reason that a collagen supplement combined with other natural ingredients can have a dramatic impact on the deep restorative processes that take place during sleep. This in turn can allow the body to experience more energy, build more lean muscle, and burn more fat.

Amino acids enhance the regeneration process

The rebuilding process is also dependent on the production of a unique amino acid combination found in collagen. As part of the restoration process, these collagen based special amino acids help maintain lean muscle mass and allow the body to more readily consume fat for energy during the deep restorative sleep cycles. This natural metabolic function directly contributes to weight loss and our ability to maintain our “proper weight”.

But again, as we age, our body’s production of collagen and its unique amino acids is reduced. The natural ingredient L-Carnitine, when properly combined with collagen in a natural supplement, can significantly enhance the body’s natural function of converting excess fat into readily available energy. During deep sleep, this special amino acid conbination works like a natural “turbo charger” to help your body repair, preserve and build lean muscle while burning stored excess fat to supply the needed energy.

Not eating before sleeping is important

Since the body uses deep sleep for the restoration process, it is important when using a collagen supplement not to eat approximately three hours before going asleep. This is because we don’t want nutrient competitiion between undigested food and the collagen supplement’s special nutrient formula. If the body has to concern itself with digestion it will not absorb the collagen formula properly. Therefore your body will not be performing its natural restorative process while you sleep, but rather will be concerned with undigested foods and will actually be storing fat from the continuing digestive process rather than burning fat as the energy for the deep sleep restorative process.

This tends to put us into a “diet circle of frustration”. The less time your body spends in deep restful sleep (without competing digestion), the less time it has to restore its natural health, and the less fat that is burned in support of this natural rebuilding process.

Now we understand how deep restful sleep and weight loss often go hand in hand with our overall health.

Reducing or eliminating the intake of food three hours before bedtime allows the body to use its natural fat reserves for metabolic fuel during the deep restorative sleep cycle.

Collagen weight loss products build on this process

Natural collagen supplements enable the natural process to help people lose weight and be more naturally healthy. For instance, the product called Lose and Snooze consists of a blend of Collagen, L-Carnitine and Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera). The Collagen contributes to a more youthful appearance, greater flexibility, and all round mobility and strength.

The collagen supplement also enhances the deep sleep necessary to enable your body’s natural metabolic functions to occur, like when we were children. The second ingredient, L-Carnitine promotes the burning of fat in support of the natural rebuilding, restorative process that occurs during deep sleep. And Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera) contains numerous nutrients and amino acids that help create a healthy environment in support of your body’s ability to create its own collagen.

Many users of collagen supplements like Lose and Snooze have reported good results. But researchers stress that going to bed on an empty stomach is an integral part of the therapy. Many users report that using a collagen formula in combination with an empty stomach before bedtime, has been beneficial to their general health and has helped them naturally lose weight.

And because collagen supplements only help lose excess fat (while rebuilding muscle), they can be used by anybody — not just people wanting to lose weight. They have also been beneficial to folks who want to enjoy better sleep, build lean muscle, improve their appearance and reshape their body while maintaining their proper healthy weight.

I just got a new puppy and she is so cute.can she help me lose 20 pounds before the school year starts?or a little after the school year starts.im 12 and i eat healthy.how long should i walk my puppy?what Other activities should I do?

Indirectly she may be able to help you. Taking her for walks (not more than 15 minutes to start with) will help you and the pup. Training and playing may take your mind off food and on to the puppy. Good Luck.

Can someone give me a Diet Schedule to lose weight?

Posted on by

Don’t include dinner though because my mom makes healthy dinner without telling me. Answering will be much appreciated thanks.

Simple really. To lose weight, your calorie and fat intake should be less than your out take. —

Eat healthy; Try to eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. Cut your meal portions into serving sizes so you’ll be less likely to eat too much.

Eat until you are no longer hungry, DON’T eat until you are full. If you are hungry in between meals, have a light, healthy snack.

Drink plenty of water because it fills you up but it doesn’t have calories or fat. Half the time you think you’re hungry, you’re actually thirsty, so drink away! —

Exercise regularly; Five days a week, do 30 minutes of cardio followed by 15 of toning exercises. This will burn fat and tone muscles. (EXAMPLE: jogging, and then do pushups, crunches, box squats, etc.)
