Fastest Way: How to Burn Abdominal Fat

noreply@blogger.com (admin) — Sun, 19 Jun 2011 16:08:00 +0000

Many television ads are now pitching devices that supposedly stimulate muscles so that they contract over and over without exercise. I even saw an informercial for an ab belt that claims it does the work of 700 sit-ups in ten minutes! The ad shows people doing various abdominal exercises the wrong way, hating every second of it, versus smiling men and women going about their days with "Ab-whatevers" strapped around them. How enticing.

Several people in these ads claim to have lost inches around the waist as a result of using these products. Many inches. Men with six-pack abs give credit to the device.

This is feeding the viewership's disillusionment about how to lose the belly. Strengthening the abs alone (and these machines couldn't possible do much of that) just won't do it.

Why is this? Because of the fat! If a heavy woman does hundreds of crunches a day, she may develop strong abs, and they might tighten up a bit, but she'll still have lots of fat covering them up, and she won't look any thinner. About fifty percent of her body fat is located directly beneath the skin. Do you know where most of the rest of it is? Inside the muscles. Doing crunches will not get rid of this fat, and neither will the vibrating belt in the television ads.

BURN THE FAT:
The best way to slim down in the middle is to do plenty of cardiovascular exercise. Some good examples of this are walking, jogging, swimming, aerobics, bicycling and high-activity sports like racquetball, tennis and basketball. Anything that brings your heart rate to its training zone and keeps it there for at least twenty minutes conditions your heart and burns fat. As you lose subcutaneous fat, your skin will become more taut. As the fat within your muscles decreases, you will appear more toned and less flabby. The number one thing you need to think about is the cardio. Five times a week.

MAKE YOUR BODY A MORE EFFECTIVE FAT BURNER:
Toning along with cardiovascular work will speed up and improve the process, but don't think that you only need to work on your abs. This is another grave misconception.

The truth is that when you work all the larger muscle groups, adding more mass to your muscles, you rev up your metabolism to heights it has never before reached. Your muscles need extra calories to maintain themselves, so more of the food you eat will be feeding your muscles instead of your trouble spots. Your conditioned heart (from the cardiovascular stuff) is more effective at burning calories as well, so you have the golden combination, there.

As the fat comes off your body, it will come off your belly. Your body fat is like one organ, located throughout your body, and you can't take it off of just one spot unless you have liposuction done.
The large muscles that you should concentrate on are (in this order) front and back of thighs, buttocks, back, chest, triceps and biceps. Then, you can throw in calves, hips, forearms and shoulders.
Always work your abs at the end of your workout. There's a good reason for this. You are indirectly using them for all the other exercises you do. The abs are important stabilizer muscles that keep your form in check. If you do abs first, you will tire them out, and your whole workout will be less than optimal. Work down from the largest to the smallest muscles.

ABS 101:
Crunches and sit-ups primarily work the largest abdominal muscle, the rectus abdominis, which flexes the spine. This muscle compresses the abdomen to a point, but there are other muscles that you need to pay attention to, as well.

The internal and external obliques, which I like to call 'nature's girdle', are located at the sides of the rectus abdominis. They are the muscles you use when you bend sideways at the spine or twist at the waist. They also contract to compress the abdomen, so you should work them just as hard as you work the rectus abdominis. Adding a twist to crunches works, as well as 'side bends' with dumbbells, but be careful not to use any jerky motions, especially if you've had back problems.

The transversus abdominis is located at your sides, below the obliques. Often called 'lower abs', this is the muscle that women who are trying to lose the belly after pregnancy should concentrate on. Exercises that call for raising the legs instead of the upper body are very effective at strengthening the transversus. METHODS (please note links to articles that contain more information):

Walking puts all of the abdominal muscles to work. Make sure you swing your arms and contract your midsection while you walk, and maintain a brisk pace. Once you get your body accustomed to a daily walk, you'll hate to go a day without it. Walk for at least thirty minutes each time to achieve the aerobic effect, and be sure to drink plenty of water.

Weight training not only helps the metabolism, but it also strengthens the bones. Women who work out with weights are much less likely to develop osteoporosis in later years than their counterparts. Adding muscle also does wonders for the energy level and self-esteem. Contrary to a popular myth, lifting weights will not bulk you up with muscles that will eventually turn to more fat. They will give you a more feminine and symmetrical shape. If you enjoy weight training, do it.

Yoga is equally effective at strengthening the body, especially the abs and back. It improves the posture tremendously, to create a taller, leaner appearance. Pilates and many mat-based exercises are also great alternatives.

The important thing is that you find an activity that you like to do. This will greatly improve the odds of you sticking to it.

THE MINDSET:
The most important thing you need to do is to program yourself mentally. Don't use a scale to measure your progress. If you work out with weights, you may gain a few pounds while losing inches around the waist. Instead, use that pair of jeans that you want to fit into again, or a pair that fits you now. You'll see a slight change every few weeks, and that should give you confidence.

Walk as tall as you can. Do back and leg stretches daily to improve your posture. When you're driving to work, sit up nice and straight and adjust the rear-view mirror so that you'll know when you're slouching. Don't let your shoulders fall forward when you're at your desk. You can look a size smaller just by doing these things.

GENES:
I hate to say it. We've all seen people with 'good genes' and wondered if they had any idea how lucky they are. They probably don't, but that's okay. Consider it a character-building experience. If you blame your ancestors for excess flesh in the middle, don't feel helpless. You just have to work a little harder than some others. You can still sculpt out a slimmer silhouette with cardiovascular exercise, a healthy, balanced, low fat diet and whatever bonus activities you throw in. This may not be a novel approach, but it really works.

I'm not telling you that it's easy, but it really is pretty simple. In an age where people don't even have to go outside to grill a steak, it's tempting to spend a few dollars on a quick fix. Human anatomy hasn't changed much throughout history, however. If you adopt your grandparents' work ethic and apply it to your every day life, you will achieve your greatest results.

4. Swimming

If you like swimming and you have access to a pool, then look no further - it’s not only a great workout for every single muscle in your body, it’s also the greatest way to get your whole body toned and lose that leg fat that’s been bothering you for so long. And it’s also very pleasant, so you practically kill all the birds with one stone! :)

Playing sports is also a great idea. And it’s also a lot of fun! It will speed up your heart rate and help you burn fat off of your whole body, including your legs. Some good sports include basketball, soccer and football.

6. Ride a Bike

7. Running

I also highly recommend running. Running is a great exercise when it comes to losing weight not only in the legs, but in the rest of the body as well. It will increase your heart rate and it’s a good aerobic activity. Running is also going to speed up that metabolism.

8. Reverse Lunge

It’s another exercise that many individuals have used in order to lose weight quickly in their legs. Start out with your feet about eight inches apart and your torso erect. Take an easy step backward. Lower your hips until your front thigh is parallel or straight to the floor. The position of your knee should be directly over your ankle and foot.

How to burn fat with sauna.

noreply@blogger.com (admin) — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 22:25:00 +0000

There are many health benefits to using a sauna. This method of relaxation and health maintenance has been in use for several thousand years, and cultures like the ancient Romans and the Scandinavians recognized the advantages of a good, regular sweat. The mental and physical benefits to using a sauna are plenty, and if you have the opportunity to use one, you should take advantage of it!

Some benefits of using a sauna include:

* It works as a stress reliever by helping you to relax and unwind. Relieving stress can lower blood pressure, decrease headaches, and elevate you mood. This will make you more productive, and more pleasant to be around!
* Saunas cause your body to burn calories. Your sweat glands produce sweat, which requires energy, and therefore increases caloric expenditure. Saunas should not be solely relied upon, however, as a weight loss system.
* Saunas raise your body temperature slightly, which gives the effects of a fever. This prompts the body to fight off any viruses or bacteria that can cause illness, thus boosting your immune system.
* Saunas provide a slight cardiovascular benefit in that the heat and steam require the heart to work a little more to send more blood to the capillaries.
*Saunas are an effective way to rid the body of toxins that we ingest from the environment around us through sweating, such as mercury, lead, sodium, and sulphuric acid.

When you take a sauna, you lose a great deal of fluids through the sweating. This might cause a sudden loss of a few pounds, but it is only fluid loss. When you re-hydrate (and you should take in liquids before, during, and after a sauna) your body, the weight will return. There are certain sports that require athletes to make a certain weight class in a very short period of time. These athletes often use saunas as a means of rapid weight loss. Any type of weight loss through dehydration is not safe.

The use of a sauna should be moderate. Sessions should only last for about 20 minutes, due to the increase of body temperature. And older people, or those with heart conditions should consult a physician before trying a sauna.

Using the sauna provides a variety of health benefits, and can be included as part of a sensible diet and exercise program. It can help you maintain your weight, it can rid your body of toxins, keep your complexion clear and bright, and it can help to reduce stress. Saunas are an effective method of health maintenance, if used moderately and properly.

So, hurry up and book your sauna now or go to the spa and burn your fat.

Swimming for weight loss

noreply@blogger.com (admin) — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 22:19:00 +0000

Swimming is often touted as the best form of exercise for weight loss. And when you think about it, it seems to make sense.

After all, swimming uses almost all of your major muscle groups. It places a vigorous demand on your heart and lungs. Swimming is also popular with people who are extremely overweight, pregnant, or suffering from some kind of injury.

When you swim breastroke or backstroke, you're burning about the same number of calories as a fast walk or a slow jog. However, for some reason, swimming appears to be less effective than other forms of exercise at promoting weight loss.
Swimming weight loss

Research published in the American Journal of Sports Medicine shows that in the absence of a controlled diet, swimming has little or no effect on weight loss .

We compared three exercise programs for three months. Each program began with up to 10 minutes of daily exercise. The length of each workout was increased by five minutes every week.

* Test subjects following the walking program lost 17 pounds of weight during the three-month study.
* Those following the cycling program lost 19 pounds of weight.
* However, subjects following the swimming program actually gained 5 pounds.

Assuming that all three groups burned a similar number of calories, the swimmers must have compensated by eating more.

So, it's up to you and you free to choose your program. Enjoy and be healthy.

The basic guide with food pyramid picture

noreply@blogger.com (admin) — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 22:16:00 +0000

The basic guide food pyramid for a healthy diet.

We can’t look at a pyramid these days without thinking of food and healthy eating. There was the My Pyramid, which was basically the same thing, just pitched on its side. The problem was that these efforts, while generally well intentioned, have been quite flawed at actually showing people what makes up a healthy diet. Why? Their recommendations have often been based on out-of-date science and influenced by people with business interests in their messages.

Based on the latest science, and unaffected by businesses and organizations with a stake in its messages, the Healthy Eating Pyramid is a simple, trustworthy guide to choosing a healthy diet. Its foundation is daily exercise and weight control, since these two related elements strongly influence your chances of staying healthy. The Healthy Eating Pyramid builds from there, showing that you should eat more foods from the bottom part of the pyramid (vegetables, whole grains) and less from the top (red meat, refined grains, sugary drinks).

Therefore, choose your diet and diet doesnt mean that you didnt eat. Just take precaution about what you eat and think wisely.

Burn fat with walking

noreply@blogger.com (admin) — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 22:08:00 +0000

Walking is good especially for you who scare to die.

How intensely and how long do you need to walk to lose weight? It was reported in the 2003 September issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association that fast, slow, long duration or short duration walking all lead to weight loss. This study investigated 200 women in a weight control program who were normally sedentary. They were assigned to one of four walking groups using a motorized treadmill for 5 days a week:
1. moderate intensity
2. vigorous intensity
3. moderate duration
4. high duration
The exercise was designed to burn either 1000 or 2000 calories a week for 12 months.
Women in all groups lost 8-12 percent of their starting weight after 12 months and there were no significant differences among the four groups. However, the women who walked at least 40 minutes a day lost more weight than those who walked less than 30 minutes daily. But, the women who walked the least maintained a six percent weight loss.

Walking reduces waistline(without reducing body weight overall)

Do you want to reduce your waistline or reduce your tummy fat, but you are not sure which is the best exercise? A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association vol 289, p 323, 2003 (Irwi M et al) showed that brisk walking or riding a stationary bike for about 3 hours per week for a year (without going on a diet) resulted in a loss of almost 7% of intra-abdominal fat even though total body weight did not change much. 173 sedentary overweight menopausal women took part in this US study aged between 50 and 75. Abdominal body fat is associated with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels and heart disease. Try walking for at least 30 minutes daily.

Walking is good medicine

A new study on 2896 adults with diabetes published by The Archives of Internal Medicine reported that people who walked at least 2 hours a week had a 39% lower risk of death from any cause and a 34% lower risk of heart related death than those who didn't walk at all. People in the study who walked at least 3 hours a week reduced their risk of death by more than 50%. The benefits of moderate walking appear to be even greater than current diabetes treatments. The protective
association of physical activity was observed for persons of varying sex, age, race, body mass index, diabetes duration, comorbid conditions, and physical limitations.

Relation between Cholesterol and Fat

noreply@blogger.com (admin) — Sat, 09 Jan 2010 21:05:00 +0000

Relation between Cholesterol and Fat

Cholesterol is a fatty substance (a lipid) that is an important part of the outer lining (membrane) of cells in the body of animals. Cholesterol is also found in the blood circulation of humans. The cholesterol in a person's blood originates from two major sources; dietary intake and liver production. Dietary cholesterol comes mainly from meat, poultry, fish, and dairy products. Organ meats, such as liver, are especially high in cholesterol content, while foods of plant origin contain no cholesterol. After a meal, cholesterol is absorbed by the intestines into the blood circulation and is then packaged inside a protein coat. This cholesterol-protein coat complex is called a chylomicron.

The liver is capable of removing cholesterol from the blood circulation as well as manufacturing cholesterol and secreting cholesterol into the blood circulation. After a meal, the liver removes chylomicrons from the blood circulation. In between meals, the liver manufactures and secretes cholesterol back into the blood circulation.

What are LDL and HDL cholesterol?

LDL cholesterol is called "bad" cholesterol, because elevated levels of LDL cholesterol are associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease. LDL lipoprotein deposits cholesterol on the artery walls, causing the formation of a hard, thick substance called cholesterol plaque. Over time, cholesterol plaque causes thickening of the artery walls and narrowing of the arteries, a process called atherosclerosis.

HDL cholesterol is called the "good cholesterol" because HDL cholesterol particles prevent atherosclerosis by extracting cholesterol from the artery walls and disposing of them through the liver. Thus, high levels of LDL cholesterol and low levels of HDL cholesterol (high LDL/HDL ratios) are risk factors for atherosclerosis, while low levels of LDL cholesterol and high level of HDL cholesterol (low LDL/HDL ratios) are desirable.

Total cholesterol is the sum of LDL (low density) cholesterol, HDL (high density) cholesterol, VLDL (very low density) cholesterol, and IDL (intermediate density) cholesterol.

What determines the level of LDL cholesterol in the blood?

The liver not only manufactures and secretes LDL cholesterol into the blood; it also removes LDL cholesterol from the blood. A high number of active LDL receptors on the liver surfaces is associated with the rapid removal of LDL cholesterol from the blood and low blood LDL cholesterol levels. A deficiency of LDL receptors is associated with high LDL cholesterol blood levels.

Both heredity and diet have a significant influence on a person's LDL, HDL and total cholesterol levels. For example, familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a common inherited disorder whose victims have a diminished number or nonexistent LDL receptors on the surface of liver cells. People with this disorder also tend to develop atherosclerosis and heart attacks during early adulthood.

Diets that are high in saturated fats and cholesterol raise the levels of LDL cholesterol in the blood. Fats are classified as saturated or unsaturated (according to their chemical structure). Saturated fats are derived primarily from meat and dairy products and can raise blood cholesterol levels. Some vegetable oils made from coconut, palm, and cocoa are also high in saturated fats.

Quickest way to burn extra fat

noreply@blogger.com (admin) — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 20:40:00 +0000

The quickest way to burn extra fat with weights.

Energy in, energy out. The body normally burns a mix of carbohydrate, as glucose, and fat for fuel. How much of either depends on your physical activity and if, or what you have eaten recently. When you use more energy than you take in from food and drink, the body burns stored fat and carbohydrates, and then even protein, to fuel your everyday activities even if you are not exercising

That’s what happens when people starve of course; the body starts to eat itself. Depending on your family history -- your genetics -- and the way you eat and exercise to create this energy deficit, your body may decide to get conservative and drop your metabolic rate to try to hold onto body weight. Some of us seem to have inherited this tendency more than others, the origins of which may be in the early periods of human evolution where 'feast or famine' was more or less the norm.

Glucose, fat and protein. Even so, starvation always works eventually and the body starts to break down its own tissue for fuel. Stored carbohydrate called glycogen is quickly used up, then goes the fat stored under the skin and around the internal organs. Protein in muscle is then broken down to create glucose to keep the brain working and you conscious.

Fat and glucose are the body’s two main energy sources. Fat you know well, glucose comes mainly from carbohydrate foods like rice and bread and potatoes and protein is supplied mainly by meat and beans and dairy products. The amino acid building blocks of protein foods can be converted to glucose in emergencies. Your body always burns a mix of fat and glucose except at very high intensities, and the ratio of the fat and glucose in 'the burn' varies with intensity and time of exercise.

Fat burning zone. You may have noticed that some bikes and treadmills at the gym have a setting that says “fat burning zone”, which implies a setting for intensity or speed. The reason for this is that the body burns a greater percentage of fat at a slow pace (or after about 90 minutes of exercise). The fat burning zone, a low intensity speed zone is mainly a gimmick, and here is the reason.

Even though you burn more fat going slowly, you still burn a percentage of fat at much faster speeds or intensity. It all boils down to how much energy you expend in totality. For example, if you compare exercising at a slow rate that burns 60 percent fat and 40 percent glucose and a higher intensity or duration that burns only 30 percent fat and 70 percent glucose, you may still burn more fat at the higher intensity.

A typical example. Exercise (1) is the slower 60/40 mix and exercise (2) is the faster, 30/70 mix of fat and glucose fuel.

Walking on a treadmill for 30 minutes -- 180 calories used -- 108 calories of fat burned
Running on a treadmill for 30 minutes -- 400 calories used -- 120 calories of fat burned

You can see from this example that the bottom line really is how much energy you expend -- and that is the ultimate fat burning measure. The theoretical fat burning zone is mostly a convenient myth.

Broccoli effects on diets

noreply@blogger.com (admin) — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 09:06:00 +0000

Broccoli advantages for diet programs

1 Broccoli is the king of low carb vegetables – 1.1 grams of carbohydrate per 100g! (after fiber subtracted) Sometimes I fill my plate up with broccoli and drench it in melted butter or cheese.

2 A chemical in vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage can boost DNA repair in cells and may stop them becoming cancerous

3 Eating steamed broccoli reduces the risk of a heart attack by boosting the body’s ability to fight off cell damage, researchers have found.

4 Did you know broccoli contains more vitamin C than an orange? (ounce for ounce) Vitamin C is great for your hair, skin, teeth, fighting infections and keeping red blood cells healthy.

5 Did you know broccoli contains as much calcium as a glass of milk? (ounce for ounce) Calcium helps to keep you heart beating regularly and promotes sleep.

6 Broccoli is also a good source of folate . Folate is necessary for the production and maintenance of new cells.

7 Broccoli is also a good source of iron. Iron is an essential component of haemoglobin and, therefore, iron is required for normal blood formation and oxygen transport around the body.

8 Broccoli is also a great source of fiber.

9 Broccoli is also a good source of potassium. Potassium plays an important role in the physical fluid system of humans and it assists nerve functions.

10 Broccoli is also a good source of vitamin K. Vitamin K is known to be needed to coagulate blood and to maintain proper bone density. It also plays a key role in proper development of the fetus.

If you’re gonna eat low-carb, broccoli should be a regular feature in your diet. Whether you’re focused on gaining muscle or losing fat, broccoli will greatly assist you in your goal.

How to eat with Good Diet Plan?

noreply@blogger.com (admin) — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 20:55:00 +0000

How to eat with Good Diet Plan?

Welcome to another amazing diet plan for weight loss. This 5 and 1 plan is made up of 5 meal replacements per day - generally shakes, but there are also bars, soups, oatmeal, and puddings (see below). One meal per day is a "lean and green" meal - a small portion of lean meat (see below), and up to 2 cups of salad or vegetables. This is an excellent addition to the daily routine and makes the diet a whole lot more do-able.

You eat every 2-3 hours, and must drink a minimum of 64oz of fluid (water) per day. Other drinks can be consumed in addition to this. The 5 and 1 plan is a vast improvement on some of their previous programs.
How Fast Is the Weight Loss?

Weight loss is rapid - from 2-5 pounds per week. The 5 and 1 plan is technically not a VLCD (Very Low Calorie Diet), as the caloric levels are above 800 kcal/per day. However calorie levels are still low (depending on your current weight, height, and size).

What is the food that you should eeat in this plan?

What Sort Of Foods Do They Have?

Food Supplements: Homestyle Chili, Oatmeals: (Apple Cinnamon, French Vanilla Berry, Maple Brown Sugar), Hot Cocoa; Chicken Noodle Soup, Minestrone Soup, Peach Pro Tea, Chocolate Pudding.
Creamy Soups: Cream of Broccoli, Cream of Chicken, Cream of Tomato
Fast Soups and Snacks: Delicate Chicken, Robust Tomato, Savory Beef, Multi-Grain Crackers.
Supplement Bars: Chocolate Divine, Crunchy Lemon, Oatmeal Raisin, Peanut Butter, Chocolate Mint, Double Berry.

What about the "Lean and Green" Meal?

Lean Meat: Skinless chicken or turkey breast, Fish, including shellfish, tinned tuna or salmon. Lean cuts of beef, pork, or lamb. Grill, bake, or poach. Condiments allowed. For men there should be 6-7oz of lean meat, for women 4-5oz.
Green Salad: 1-2 cups of salad greens, up to 1/4 cup raw vegetables.
Cooked Vegetables: 1-1 1/2 cups of fibrous vegetables instead of salad.

Take Care

This plan is not about taking off a few pounds - it is intended for those who are very overweight. It is a drastic diet that will put you into state of ketosis, and you MUST ensure you are adequately hydrated.

Exercising while on the diet should be kept at a low intensity level. This is not the kind of diet where you will build muscle and be doing heavy workouts down at the gym.

However we receive many success stories from Medifast users.

Maintenance Plan

Once the desired weight is reached, the maintenance plan involves a gradual transition back to 'normal' meals over a period of about 16 days (however a much longer transition period is recommended). Beyond this, I recommend 1-3 packaged meals daily and a moderately intense exercise routine (e.g. 30-45 minutes 5 days per week). This is essential to keep the weight off.

Does It Work?

5 and 1 is one of the most successful and balanced low-calorie diets. It has been used successfully at John Hopkins Weight Management Center, among other places - it is one of the few diets that are medically proven to work¹.

Try this at home, you can do it with a very high disciplines and do not give up!!!

Food for weight loss

noreply@blogger.com (admin) — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 08:06:00 +0000

Eat and become smaller?

If you are looking for a way to supercharge your fitness plan, add these delicious fat burning foods to your diet and eat your way to better health. The body uses energy (burns calories) to digest all foods, but some foods have a more dramatic effect. These fat burning foods boost metabolism and burns calories because it take more energy to digest than other foods.

Lean Turkey. Lean cuts of turkey are rich in protein which can give your metabolism an instant boost, by helping to build muscle, which burns more calories. Avoid processed deli-style turkey and instead choose fresh, boneless and skinless varieties.

Oatmeal. This breakfast favorite is a rich source of cholesterol-fighting, soluble fiber that helps keep you feeling full and gives you the energy you need to make it through the morning. Avoid instant oatmeal and choose steel cut or rolled oats instead to get the maximum amount of fiber.

Grapefruit. Highly efficient in regulating your body?s insulin levels, grapefruit also helps your body effectively process other foods and controls your appetite. It can also aid in dissolving fat and cholesterol. Check with your doctor first before making grapefruit a regular part of your diet because it may render some medications less effective.

Apples. This supermarket staple is rich in soluble fiber, which gently elevates your blood sugar levels and keeps them up longer than most foods so you feel fuller longer. Apples also have the chemical pectin, which is found in fresh fruit like apples and berries. Pectin controls the quantity of fat absorbed by your cells and binds with water and to help cells release fat.

Broccoli. A source rich in calcium, broccoli is a delicious addition to a fat-burning diet. Broccoli is also packed with vitamin C which can help the body effectively absorb calcium. Not only is it a great source of vitamin A, broccoli also contains folate, and fiber. This vitamin-packed, low-calorie vegetable also boosts your immune system.

Low-Fat Yogurt. Adding low-fat dairy products like yogurt to your diet can also help you lose weight. People who consume 3 to 4 servings of low-fat dairy products per day usually lose more weight than dieters who did not consume any low-fat dairy products. A single serving of low-fat yogurt is rich in calcium and fat-burning protein.

Soybeans. The richest source of lecithin, a chemical that protects cells from storing up fat, is found in soybeans. Adding fresh or frozen soybeans to your diet can help reduce fat stores in your body.

Fat calculation and how to burn fat fast

Best fat burn method in my experience

Thank goodness the year almost over, and the new year is almost here.
But do you think you going to find a holiday that will help you in finding the new "you" ?

As a personal trainer, I hear the same thing every year after the holidays: "Stefan, I gained fat over here," and "Stefan, I gained fat over there."
Be honest. Are you really surprised by the change in your body composition due to your calorie intake over the last few months?

You shouldn't be.

First, understand that your body's metabolism slows down 2 percent for each decade of your life after age 20. This means that your body burns calories more slowly with each passing year. As a result, you should also be more careful with your calories as you get older. How much more careful? You can figure it out with the simple calculation below that will give you your basal metabolic rate, or BMR:

Take your desired weight in pounds.

Multiply this number by 11 if you are a woman, 12 if you are a man.

Subtract 2 percent of this total for every 10 years after age 20.

Add 10 percent. This represents the calories you need to maintain your daily life functions.

The number you end up with is your minimum daily calorie intake.

So say you are a 50-year-old man who would like to keep your weight at a trim 140 pounds. Here's how you would calculate your BMR:

Desired weight = 140

140 × 12 = 1,680

1,680 - 3(1,680 × .02) = 1,57 9

1,579 + 158 = 1,737 calories per day

Now keep in mind that some of you are more active than others. Hence, you should add on 180 calories per hour of housework (or if your house is already clean, feel free to come by and help me!), 650 calories per hour of cycling, 800 calories for every hour of running, and 1,200 calories per hour for cross-country skiing.

If you want to lose body fat, however, calorie control is only one side of the equation. The question you still need to ask is: "How do you burn the most calories and, best, the most fat calories?" Interval training! Yes, you need to push yourself. You need to vary your training intensity between 65 percent of your total capacity to 85 percent and 95 percent. This approach will help you to lose the most calories from fat.

To understand the benefits of true interval training, let us look into three different training approaches for a 150-pound person who rides a stationary bike for 30 minutes:

65 percent training intensity

This person who is exercising for 30 minutes at 65 percent will burn overall 82 calories, of which could be 41 from fat. This means that he or she will only be on the same speed and the same activity day in day out. Think about it. Have you been in the gym and seen people day in, day out doing the same thing? And when you seen them two years later, does their body still look the same? I have seen this many times, and I don't call this working out but rather flaking out. This training would fall in the aerobic, with oxygen, category -- also referred to as a low intensity workout.

85 percent training intensity

If this same person is still exercising for 30 minutes but increases the intensity to 85 percent, this individual will burn overall 157 calories, of which could be 10 calories from fat. This is the person who is sweating all over the treadmill, has water bottles staggered next to the bike and a second T-shirt to change into nearby. I have seen this many times as well, and I have not seen this person change either. Yes, this individual has much stronger aerobic capacity. But again, if you take this person into a different environment, he or she will have difficulty performing on the same intensity level. This training would be without oxygen, in the anaerobic category -- also referred to as a medium intensity workout.

65 percent to 95 percent and back to 65 percent training intensity

Now it gets interesting. When this person performs true interval training for 30 minutes and changes the intensity level of his or her workout from 65 percent to 95 percent and back to 65 percent, this person will burn 173 calories, of which 50 calories could be from fat. Through this training, a person is able to train both energy systems, aerobic and anaerobic, to take advantage of the benefit of the most calorie-burning effects. This is true interval training and is referred to as a high intensity workout. These workouts are a killer, and if you don't feel like you are challenged and tired after those workouts you only performed a medium intensity workout.

So think about your desire and your expectation. Burn the fat faster than other. God Bless you.

Burn your tummy fat

Tips for a flatter tummy
5 tips for a flatter tummy is a guide to beat the bloat - the dreaded bloat that we all love to hate. There are ways and means of avoiding a swollen tummy and they all involve very little effort. Current lifestyles force us to eat on the hoof, rush through meals, all the while paying little or no attention to our dietary intake or physical needs. Most of us are guilty of causing our bellies to bloat and it’s surprising just how easily we can avoid it.

Here are the top 5 tips for a flatter tummy. None are difficult and all are common sense answers to a self-inflicted dilemma. How many times have you still been eating breakfast whilst setting out to work, or eating lunch whilst on the go? I know I’ve done it a hundred times … or more. Many of us run busy homes; work full time, all the while juggling family commitments.

Paying just a little more attention to what we’re eating and how we’re eating will go a long way towards calming down excess gases and help reduce the bloated look/feeling. Even better you’ll find that your clothes fit a little better and more important of all, you’ll feel healthier.
Flatter Tummy Tip #1

Bloated Belly

Carbs are a great food source. However, try to steer clear of anything carb-related, late at night. No munching on stacks of hot buttered toast or raiding the fridge for left over pasta. Carbohydrates are starchy and starch aides water retention. And what does water retention cause? You got it … a bloated tummy.
Flatter Tummy Tip #2

Do you use artificial sweeteners? If so, it’s entirely possible that you struggle to process one of the key ingredients found in most artificial sweeteners – sorbitol. It metabolizes slowly in the digestive system and can cause excess gas (read:wind!) and upset tummies.

It’s sometimes found in laxatives – surprise surprise – and that helps explain why it can cause diarrhoea in some individuals. Interestingly, you don’t need to be using artificial sweeteners to fall victim to it as it’s found in a multitude of diet drinks and other foods/drinks that are sugar-free. It’s also known to exacerbate Irritable Bowel Syndrome so if you’re a sufferer, think twice before you use anything that may contain it.
Flatter Tummy Tip #3

Do you like carbonated drinks? Your tummy doesn’t, simple fact. One sure fire way to bloat up that belly is to sup/sip or quaff fizzy sodas. More so if you gulp it down in an effort to quench your thirst. Gulping anything means taking in air. Air and carbonated liquids together are a fabulously easy way to cause belly bloat. Therefore an equally fabulous way to calm down your swollen belly is to … you got it … bin the soda.

Switch to water or water based drinks. And don’t forget, anything that doesn’t come from the tap – check it doesn’t contain sorbitol. See #2
Flatter Tummy Tip #4

Go easy on the salt. Salt attracts water. They go together like birds of a feather. Honest. Sodium (salt) is found in processed foods, seasonings and used as a food preservative. Meaning that you’d be surprised how much salt you may ingest on a day to day basis. Oddly, salt regulates the amount of water found within our bodies – and as a mineral, it’s something that we can’t live without.

However, too much salt in your system just encourages water retention. Next time you feel like adding a little more flavour to your food, think again.
Flatter Tummy Tip #5

Limit spicy foods. Certain flavourings and seasonings encourage stomach acids. In turn, stomach acids, when excessive, cause belly bloat. Vinegar, chilli, spicy sauces, garlic – anything along the lines of ‘spicy’ will stimulate acid production, and we all know what happens when acid indigestion kicks in. Plus there’s always the risk of creating heartburn. Another digestive nasty. Step away from the chilli con carne and go easy on the hot n’ spicy chicken wings.

Of course there’s another benefit to be gained when we avoid eating too much of the above foods. Excess wind in the belly not only causes bloating but … trapped gas. And without stating the obvious – you all know what happens when we get a little too much gas trapped in our digestive systems.

What is FAT?

noreply@blogger.com (admin) — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 06:36:00 +0000

Understand your fat? Are you a fat boy or girl? Do you know that youre fat? For the last few years, I do some serious workout to burn fat and gain muscles. At my first season of my fat burning, it's not really work until i do some research through youtube and other website. Learning all about body fat is the first step to being successful at losing weight and toning up.

If you are reading this blog you most likely have tried to lose weight and reduce your body fat in the past.

Why do most People want to Lose Body Weight?

There are many reasons, the most common being our society generally associates beauty with being slim, slender or athletic. People also want to lower their body fat is because of the problems associated with being overweight such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, certain cancers and the list goes on and on. Read on and you will learn why body fat should be the target of your weight loss and fitness goals. You will also learn that losing body fat is a natural side effect of a healthy exercise program and proper diet.

What to do with Body Fat

Body fat serves many functions in our bodies. First and foremost fat serves as our body's largest energy source. Each gram of dietary and stored fat contains 9 calories per gram it. Protein and Carbohydrate is only 4 calories per gram.

Fat stores are Limitless whereas Muscle and Protein Stores are Limited

When we are at rest or performing low intensity (low heart rate) activities, our body is burning body fat as its primary fuel source. If we intake more calories than we burn off, your body will store the excess calories as adipose tissue, or body fat. Your body does not care where the energy is coming from. Fat, carbohydrates and protein can all be converted to body fat. Genetics and sex primarily determine where your body stores excess fat. Body fat is stored all over the body although some areas collect more body fat than others.

There are 2 Primary Patterns of Fat Distribution
all about body fat percentage Android pattern of fat distribution

* Characterized by increased fat deposits in the abdominal area.
* Most common amongst men.

Gynoid pattern of fat distribution

* Characterized by increased fat deposits in the thighs and butt.
* Most common amongst women.

Everybody has body fat. The problem is excess body fat due to lack of exercise and a high calorie diet. Stored body fat is primarily sub-cutaneous which means under the skin.
Since the skin is about 1mm thick, if you pinch a section of your skin and it is 10mm it means that your are pinching 8mm of fat. This is one of the ideas which body fat measurement uses to determine the percent body fat of an individual.

All About Body Fat Loss; Why is it so Hard to Lose Body Fat ?

Losing body fat has been made out to be more difficult than it actually is. The process of losing body fat all boils down to a simple scientific law. The law of conservation of energy states that energy can never be created nor destroyed.
Simply put, if you consume more calories than your body uses, the excess will be stored as body fat. If you consume less calories than you expend, you will burn body fat as energy
If you are the average healthy person with an average diet, you do not have to worry too much about burning muscle. Much is made in the media about losing muscle mass, but your body burns muscle mass as a last resort.

People who really need to worry about using muscle for fuel are people with extremely low body fat percentages, such as bodybuilders. If you are vegetarian, vegan or consume very low amounts of protein you may also want to monitor your protein intake to ensure you are not burning protein as fuel.

Jogging or Walking for weight loss program?

noreply@blogger.com (admin) — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 06:32:00 +0000

You prefer jogging or walking for fat burning? Let's talk about that now. you need to clarify which one provide better effect for your body.

Have you ever stopped to wonder why some ‘fat burning’ classes actually recommend low to moderate intensity and try to keep your heart rate down? Or why some exercise machines have a chart showing low intensity workouts as being within your ‘fat burning zone’ and higher intensity workouts as being within your ‘aerobic or endurance zone’?

The reason for this is the “Fat-Burning Zone” theory (which is right…in theory). If you exercise at a lower intensity then the percentage of fat that you burn will be higher. However, since you are exercising at a lower intensity you will actually be burning less fat and at a slower rate than if you were to exercise harder!

Please Explain

When you exercise harder, the percentage of fat that you burn will go down to as low as 30%. The percentage of carbohydrate that you burn may go up to 70%. However, the actual number of calories you are burning when you increase the intensity of the exercise increases by the following:

* Brisk walking burns calories 4 times faster than resting
* Slow jogging burns calories 8 times faster than resting
* Fast running up to 16 times faster than resting

This means that the harder you exercise the more calories you burn. Although the percentage of fat is lower, the overall amount of calories burnt from fat is higher – and isn’t that worth working a little harder!

Examples:

1. A 30 minute jog will burn approximately 300 calories with about 30% of those calories coming from fat – that is 90 calories from fat

2. A 30 minute walk will burn approximately 150 calories with about 50% of those calories coming from fat – that is 75 calories from fat

90 fat calories vs. 75 fat calories… The percentage of fat burnt is higher when walking but the actual amount of fat burnt is less!

Quick Tips for Fat Burning

1. The amount of fat you burn is very important, but calories do still count. Notice that if you exercise at a higher intensity you will simply burn more calories.

2. The most important factor of all, fit people burn fat faster; both during exercise and at rest! How do you get fit? Aim to work a little harder each time you exercise.

3. To get the best results quickly, from whatever “Huffy Puffy” exercises you choose
* Work as hard as you can in the time that you have
* Always aim to improve on your last workout
* Aim to do the same distance in a quicker time or a longer distance in the same time

And always remember…

Low carb diet system for your diet program

noreply@blogger.com (admin) — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 06:28:00 +0000

Low carb system for your diet

Do you think that you could get a perfect body just with exercise? Think about your carb diet. Carb cycling is a powerful tool for weight loss. You cant lose your weight with 2k calories of carb per day. Combining the benefits of a low carb diet plan with periodic days of carb loading is one of the most effective ways to lose weight and keep it off. To most weight loss beginners, carb cycling seems too complex and confusing. Here is a simple plan that will give you all the weight loss advantages carb cycling can offer.
Why Low Carb?

Low carb is defined as a diet that contains 30% or less of carbohydrates. If you are trying to lose weight, eating a low carb diet will make a calorie restriction much more achievable because you will have more stable blood sugar levels and reduced hunger.

The main drawback of eating low carb on an permanent basis is fatigue, brain fog, loss of training performance and the inevitable carb cravings. The solution to this is the a carb cycling method.

Isn't Carb Cycling Just for Hardcore Bodybuilders?

meat - good for your waistline
meat - good for your waistline

The carb cycling technique is used by bodybuilders who do take the concept to its extremes, but normal folk can utilize the same principals with a more moderate approach and still see the fat melt away while having 2 days of higher calories/carbs per week.
The Carb Cycling Schedule

The easiest way to set up any type of non-linear diet is to link it to a 7 day week. Nutrition and training should be linked together for faster weight loss and to reduce energy slumps.

Monday - Low Carb + weights
Tuesday - Low Carb + cardio
Wednesday - High Carb + weights
Thursday - Low Carb + rest
Friday - Low Carb + weights
Saturday - High Carb + cardio
Sunday - Low Carb + rest
The Low Carb Phase [1.2P 0.5F 0.6C]

The low carb phase of the diet can be set up easily with the following method.

(a) multiply your body weight in pounds by (1.2) - this is your protein level in grams
Example - 130lb * 1.2 = 156g protein = 624 calories

(b) multiply your body weight in pounds by (0.5) - this is your fat level in grams
Example - 130lb * 0.5 = 65g fat = 585 calories

(c) multiply your body weight in pounds by (0.6) - this your carbohydrate level in grams
Example - 130lb * 0.6 = 78g carbs = 312 calories
The High Carb Phase [1.4P 0.3F 1.4C]

The high carb phase of the diet can be set up easily with the following method.

(a) multiply your body weight in pounds by (1.4) - this is your protein level in grams
Example - 130lb * 1.4 = 182g protein = 728 calories

(b) multiply your body weight in pounds by (0.3) - this is your fat level in grams
Example - 130lb * 0.3 = 40g fat = 364 calories

(c) multiply your body weight in pounds by (1.4) - this your carbohydrate level in grams
Example - 130lb * 1.4 = 182g carbs = 728 calories

Once you have all diet and training set up, you simply have to eat low carb on Sunday through Tuesday and Thursday through Friday. On Wednesday and Saturday you get to enjoy a bit more food and some of your favorite treats.
Carb Cycling for Everyone

Carb cycling is a fantastic way to have variety in your diet while maximising your fat loss efforts. It is no longer a plan exclusively for muscular women or bodybuilders but can be used by anyone. If you have ever complained that you like the weight loss you get with low carb eating but can't deal with the tiredness and brain fog, then this is for you. Give it a try and you will be surprised how easy and enjoyable carb cycling can be.

7 Secrets of Weight Loss Success

People talk about obesity and they try to avoid it, but technology, food, and the uncontrolled diet is very difficult to handle. If you think that you could lean your body fast, you are otally wrong unless you take this 7 secrets. Here the secret for you . Hundreds of diets, tips, books, and techniques out there for losing weight but this is really important. Despite this, those who sustain long-term weight loss are few and far between.

In this post, Ranae shares some pearls of wisdom that have helped her achieve her own weight loss, and in turn, have helped others.

1. "Diets" simply do not work; the very nature of the word implies the "beginning" and an "end" to a way of eating that has, historically, been unhealthy.
2. A lifestyle change is needed to successfully lose weight and keep it off.
3. Changing your lifestyle is fun, exciting, rewarding and an exploration into new and heightened flavors, an adventure to new lands through various cuisines that allow for choices that are healthier and more nutritionally sound. It's all in how you adjust your mind to a positive approach!
4. The way I begin to counsel someone is to ask them to create a list of the foods they would normally eat if calories were of no concern. This provides a starting point and allows me to see where their tastes lie. None of us are the same and we must study this and make choices together to be successful.
5. Next, we examine those choices and let them guide us in making comparable flavor choices while instituting better preparation choices and learning how to substitute and alter some of the key ingredients that can easily be exchanged for healthier components.
6. Following success in changing our thought process about food and evaluating our willingness to look inward to the root of our behaviors, we can move forward in developing and instituting a plan to begin the most rewarding journey of a lifetime.
7. Intuitive eating is introduced to assist in making the total transition and is a crucial component for a successful long-term lifestyle change.

Have you ever imagine that people will buy 1000 of product for their fat burning program? While exercising our muscles burn both fat and glucose (carbohydrates in the blood) in different proportions. Depending on how an individual exercises muscle can burn fat in a larger proportion to glucose.

When activity is light and easy we tend to burn a much higher percentage of fat. Fat is a slow burning fuel that requires oxygen so if oxygen is delivered to muscle cells in sufficient quantities the cells can easily burn fat for most of its energy requirement. A potential problem for weight loss is lighter exercise burns fewer total calories.

rhythmic style when exercising
* Breath slightly deeper and use a little more lung capacity for effective fat
burning
* Do not hold breath during exercise!
