Revitalise Your Health

It’s Summer, at last! During the winter months most of your body was covered with warm (and concealing) clothes. Peeling off those layers may reveal a body that isn’t quite ready for your newly-purchased bikini. Don’t fret - analyze which parts of your body needs help and get busy.

Chances are, you’ve worked out religiously all winter to sculpt your body into its sexiest best. If you aren’t satisfied with what you see, try some toning and firming exercises designed to exorcise the flab that’s holding on for dear life.

Conditioning exercises are the key to whip problem areas of your upper body, tummy, hips, butt and thighs into shape. Conditioning lets you pinpoint the trouble areas of your body and tone and shape them with specific exercises. Volumes of conditioning exercises can be found online or books and magazines.

It’s time to shake the dust off of the weights, jump rope and exercise ball, putting them to use in ways that will have your body bikini-ready in no time. While you’re concentrating on body-sculpting, don’t forget to get in a cardio workout to keep the metabolism going and the fat burning.

You’ve heard it many times before, but get your daily fill of water so that you stay hydrated as the summer temperature soars. Water intake flushes toxins from your system and keeps that ugly cottage cheese look called “cellulite” from creeping into your body.

Don’t forget the importance of a healthy diet. Your skin will reflect the foods you put into your body, so be especially careful during the summer months to get plenty of fruits and vegetables that are naturally in season - and good for you.

After you’ve done all you can to firm and tone your body, it’s time to think about the condition of all that skin showing off in a bikini - and that’s a lot!

To achieve glowing, silky smooth skin that you’ll be proud to flaunt, begin by exfoliating. Exfoliating removes dead skin cells that lay on the surface of your skin and leaves it soft and toned. To effectively exfoliate your skin, use a natural bristle brush or your favorite exfoliating cream.

Remove unwanted hair by using a razor, waxing or hair removal cream - and don’t forget to use a moisturizer afterward. And, keep your skin in top condition by using a sun screen - and apply it often when you’re on the beach. You’ll also avoid wrinkles and skin cancer as you age.

Make the time and effort to follow the above tips and your body can be bikini-ready and as sizzling hot as the summer temps.

Kicking your metabolism into shape so that you burn more calories rather than adding more fat to your body may take some drastic measures. Flushing the fat from your body is one way to increase your metabolic rate. It also rids the body of toxins that cause you to feel bloated and sluggish.

Fat tends to find a home in your body in three main areas – butt, hips and thighs. Flushing out the fat targets these areas of your body rather than other diets where you may actually lose muscle mass.

Here are five tips for flushing unwanted fat out of your body that will lead you to weight loss success.

1.Lower calorie intake. Calorie count should be between 1000 and 1500 daily for the first couple of weeks.

2.During your fat flushing diet, you should add some good fat (such as flaxseed oil) as well as some protein, vegetables and fruit. Spices (such as cayenne pepper) are also a great addition to the diet plan.

3.Drink plenty of water, green tea and other liquids that act as a diuretic to flush out toxins and fat.

4.Get plenty of sleep. Sleep acts as a restorative process for your body and shouldn’t be neglected.

5.Keep track of all your activities, food and drink. You can jot the information in a notebook or enter it into one of the many online “journals” that are available.

Exercise is also important during this time, but don’t overdo it. You may feel weak because of decreased calorie intake. A brisk walk around the block or ten minutes on the treadmill will suffice.

After two weeks of the above regimen, you can increase your calorie intake to 1500 calories and add more carbohydrates to your diet. Follow this plan until you reach your desired weight. By then, your metabolism will have the boost it needs to work more efficiently.

Some medical professionals find that drastically lowering your calories is unhealthy and maintain that you’ll eventually put the weight back on. It’s true that you lose weight rapidly and unless you stick to the diet, you’ll more than likely put the pounds back on at a later time.

But you have a deadline to meet (such as fitting into that new bikini before your first trip to the beach), try the fat flushing diet for a couple of weeks to see quick and pleasing results.

Do you have a decent body except for that middle roll of flab that just doesn’t seem to go away no matter how much you exercise or attempt to spot reduce that area? The truth is that the spare tire around your middle is fat – and you’re not going to see the 6-pack abs buried beneath until you get rid of it.

The trick to reducing fat around your middle is to reduce your caloric intake and eat foods that are proven “fat burners” such as lean protein, salads and vegetables. Reduce your carbohydrate intake, especially in the evening hours when your body is slowing down. Adopt a low fat diet for your lifestyle to burn the unwanted fat and eventually reach the show-off abs you desire.

There is a difference between toning your abs and reducing the fat around your middle. Toning abdominal muscles can be achieved by exercising, but removing the fat must take place from the inside out. It won’t do you any good to try spot reduction exercises if you don’t get rid of the fat first.

There’s no such thing as an immediate “fix” for a flabby tummy.  You can spend hundreds of dollars on pills and creams, but you’ll soon realize that the only way to six pack abs is to work at it!

While you’re concentrating on a low fat diet, you’ll want to tone and firm the abdominal muscles that lie beneath the fat with exercise. The key to exercising your abs is to do the exercises correctly. If you’re concentrating on tummy crunches to firm your abs and performing them incorrectly you’ll never see success.

So, before you exercise, learn how to do it properly. For example, if you’re doing crunches, learn the correct method of breathing as you’re exercising. A number of good online sites contain information about how to perform abdominal exercises. One program I strongly recommend is the Truth About Abs.

Concentrate on resistance training when firming and toning your abs. Use a “fit ball” (sometimes called “exercise ball”) for support if you have problems with your lower back. And don’t overdo it. Three sessions a week is plenty when you’re exercising muscles that have lain dormant for awhile.

Cardio exercises (aerobic) designed to rev up your heart rate can help burn fat, so be sure to include them in your exercise regimen – and include the ones that work both your upper and lower body. It’s best to do cardio exercises in the morning – and always on an empty stomach.

Don’t be discouraged if you don’t see results as fast as you’d like. Remember, those 6-pack abs are buried somewhere beneath that fat roll. It’s your job to find them. Good luck!

Two things today. Firstly, I just read a new product called ‘The Diet Solution Program‘, and LOVED it. And I know you would love it too. So, pick up your copy by clicking HERE

Secondly, I thought I’d try something different today. I’ve converted one of my articles entitled ‘6 Surprising Natural Fat Burners‘, into a video. It’s pretty basic as I have little technical knowledge, and apologies for the poor music, but hopefully you’ll enjoy it anyway. It gives some fantastic weight loss tips.

The waist, butt and thighs are the problem areas for many. They age and sagg faster than other areas of the body. Some exercises can contribute to returning these areas to their former glory. This article will reveal how you can firm up your saggy bum, eliminate excess fat from your stomach and slim your thighs.

Slim Your Waist

Before we discuss an exercise for the waist, one thing you should be aware of is that stress contributes to abdominal weight gain. Eliminate stress to aid weight loss around the waist.

Now for the exercise. Lie on your back with knees bent and hip-width apart and your feet flat on the floor. Bend up your leg so that your right ankle rests on your left knee. Place your hands on your temples and tuck in your chin to extend the length of the back of your neck.

Breathing out, draw your abdominal muscles towards your lower back and lift your left arm and shouldertowards your right knee. Don’t try to lift too high. Breathing in, return your elbow to the floor and repeat 10-12 times. Repeat on the other side.

Firm Your Butt

Lie on your back, knees bent and hip-width apart, feet flat on the floor, outside edges parallel, arms by your side with palms facing down. Draw your abdominal muscles towards your back throughout the movement.

Breathing in, engage the muscles in the buttocks and back of the thighs and raise the pelvis away from the floor. Hold at the top for one breath in and out. Roll down with the out-breath in a controlled manner. Repeat 10 times.

Tone Your Thighs

Lie on your front with your brow resting on your hands, feet together with a medium-sized ball placed between your thighs. Breathing in, draw your tummy muscles towards your spine. Feel a hollowing beneath your stomach, imagine a berry is placed there and you don’t want to squash it. Breathing out, squeeze your inner thighs and heels towards each other without engaging your buttocks. Hold the squeeze for one full breath in and out. Release and repeat about 10 times.

By training aerobically and boosting the efficiency of the cardiovascular system you are improving every part of the body function. Training with weights and strengthening muscles maintains good posture, bone density and joint mobility into old age. Here are six tips for a natural body rejuvenation through exercise.

1. Aim to exercise for at least half an hour at least five times per week. If you can, try to workout for an hour. If you can’t find time for an hour slot, then break it up into 20 minute sessions. At least two sessions per week should be resistance training, while the other three sessions should be cardio workouts, such as swimming, jogging or cycling.

2. Sometimes the enthusiasm associated with beginning a training programme causes you to launch whole-heartedly into your regime. This can cause injury and fatigue. Instead, start slowly and gradually build up the intensity at which you work.

3. Some people like to begin the day with a morning swim or a rejuvenating yoga session, others like to go for a run in the mid-afternoon and others like to exercise in the evening. Find a time that suits you best and exercise then.

4. Try to incorporate your workouts with your family and friends. Use your exercise time to spend time with your kids, friends and colleagues. Play tennis with your kids or have a game of football with your friends. This way you can socialise and workout your muscles.

5. When possible, exercise outdoors. Being outdoors gives a feeling of exhilaration, but also of peace and tranquillity. Get outside when you can. Go for a jog at dawn, a swim in the ocean, or have a yoga session in the park.

6. Workout in four stages. A gentle warm-up involving gentle jogging and stretching, aerobic or cardiovascular exercise to work the heart and lungs, strengthening exercises to work the muscles, and finally a cool down stretch.

This is one article in a 10 part series on how to look and feel younger naturally. This article reveals how cutting the flab from your body adds years onto your life and slows down the aging process considerably. Also revealed are proven ways to cut the flab quickly, easily and naturally.

Firstly, what are the effects and consequences of being overweight. Reading these, I hope, will give you the motivation to shed those extra pounds.

People who are overweight are:

- more prone to a variety of different cancers, such as breast cancer
- less resistant to harmful organisms and more likely to be ill
- more prone to hypertension and high cholestrol levels

So, what can we do about it?

Firstly, diet is an important factor. Make sure to eat a variety of fresh fruit and vegetables to ensure you get an adequate supply of minerals. Go organic if you can. Consume plenty of fibre and wholegrains. Consume oily fish, such as mackrel for it’s omega 3. Consume tamarind fruit, green tea, dry nettle leaf and apple cider vinegar. All four speed up the fat burning process.

Secondly, exercise! I know you hate it, so we’ll change the word exercise to ACTIVITY. You don’t need to do running and swimming to lose weight. You don’t need to go to the gym every day to see results. Simply by moving about you are losing weight, whether it’s walking to pick your kids up from school or going shopping, you’re body is working and it’s burning calories. Once you stop being active your body shuts down. Your metabolism decreases and you pile on the pounds much quicker. Don’t let that happen!

Ok, melting fat…conjures thoughts of some horrible torture method that might involve vats of boiling water or being hung over open flames.

Well thankfully it has nothing to do with either.

Have you ever heard of METABOLISM? The dictionary term means ‘The physical and chemical processes by which substances are produced or transformed (broken down) into energy or products for the uses of the body.’

Basically speaking metabolism is the speed at which your body produces energy. The faster your metabolism, the faster your body does everything, especially BURNING OFF EXCESS FAT.

You may have conditioned yourself to believe that you can’t lose weight because you have a slow metabolism. Let me tell you once and for all…THAT’S RUBBISH!

Your metabolism changes throughout your life and this is dependant on how you eat and use your body.

Let’s for a moment divert for a second from metabolism and let’s talk about diets. Those who have read my previous article on this topic know that I am not a fan of dieting. I have said it once before and I will say it again, DIETS MAKE YOU FAT! To diet means the act of restricting your food intake (or your intake of particular foods).

Now how does this fit into metabolism. It’s like this, if you starve your body (which is what diets are about) then your body goes into self-preservation mode and will start to compensate by shutting down your metabolism. It wants to conserve energy, this is why you start to feel sluggish and completely uninterested in exercise or any other physical activity. When this happens the body will instinctively start to take fat from anything you put in your mouth and store it.

Even if you are not dieting but aren’t eating properly such as missing meals etc. Then you too fall into this category. By missing meals you aren’t doing your body any favors once again the body feels like it is in starvation mode and will start to take fat from everything you put into your mouth and store it instead of burning it. You body once again wants to conserve energy, this is why you start to feel sluggish and completely uninterested in exercise or any other physical activity.

Ok so now down to MELTING THAT FAT AWAY you simply need to understand the 3 reason why we fail at dieting and diets make you fat.

Start melting that fat away today, give up on diets.

Before you begin however, take a look at the top secret fat loss secret from Dr. Suzanne Gudakunst HERE

——————-

In the world of fat loss words like “secrets” are thrown around like promises during an election. That’s why I hate even seeing the word used at all.

It has come to the point where I practically dismiss the word completely. Strike that, actually I become suspicious. So the question is, are there any true “secrets” left in the battle to shed the fat.

Well, yes and no.

If you define a secret as a body of knowledge held by a tight knit organization bent on keeping their fat-loss secrets to themselves, then the answer is no. However, if you define secret as a bit of knowledge that few know about, then yes there does seem to be such a thing.

The Undergrounders

For a few years underground experimentation among fitness enthusiasts and body builder types have been working toward a strategy of manipulating the types of foods eaten in an attempt to make the human body’s hormones work at peak efficiency for fat loss.

These under-grounders would share results from peer to peer and slowly a snowball of valuable knowledge began to form. Soon enough doctors and scientists began to take a keen interest to the subject and started doing what they do best. With a scientific eye they began looking at manipulating foods for to bring about fat loss in much the same way as drug companies use chemicals to elicit fat loss. After all foods are chemicals too.

Well over a decade has passed since this all began and some solid science and quite a few studies have proven what these under-grounders had learned years before. That is, that there is a safe and effective way to manipulate eating to cause rapid and efficient fat loss.

Playing With The Macronutrients

The dietary term that was given to this process is called calorie shifting which is where macronutrients (protein, carbohydrates and fats) are shifted in an organized manner to cause the body’s hormones to jump into play and start emptying out fat stores. Readers of the Zone diet will recall the discussion of a little hormones called Eiconsanoids that basically force the fat cells to give up their stores.

In the day, Zone diet practitioners enjoyed some astounding results, especially when compared with the standard low-fat diets of the time. However they discovered what most dieters over the years have found out - that these types of ’static’ diets have a diminishing returns. In other words diets where components of the diet never really change allow the body to start compensating, or get used to, the foods involved and slowly fat loss drops to a crawl - often called a plateau.

Keep It Guessing

This is where the “secret’ of caloric shifting really shines. By constantly changing what you eat on regular intervals, your body is never able to make this adaptation. Instead you have forced your body to remain in a constant state of reaction.

This keeps those fat loss hormones flowing and the fat falling off.

Calorie shifting has really brought natural fat loss into the territory that was once only occupied by heavy doses of stimulants and dangerous fat-partitioning drugs. And practitioners of such diets have claimed astounding results without of the side effects of normal dieting such as hunger pangs or irritability. Plus the added benefit of doing it naturally without the effects or dangers of drugs.

Low fat diets became popular in the past 30 years or so, because it was believed that eating fatty foods would cause you to have heart disease and become fat. Like any diet which tries to go too far to one extreme though, this one has inherant problems of it’s own too.

Most people interpret “low fat” to mean “low meat consumption”. Some people in fact, tried to cut meat from their diets entirely. Now this is possible to do of course, and there are varying forms of vegetarianism which prove it can be done. Like other extreme eating styles though, cutting out all sources of meat and fat in our diets is quite difficult to do. And it’s not overly healthy for us either.

Different types of meat have different vitamins, minerals, and essential nutrients our bodies need to survive. And some of these nutrients cannot be gotten from any other type of food source.

The other problem with cutting out meats from our diet, or cutting down on them drastically, is that we must fill our stomachs some other way. And the only ways left are with carbohydrates or sugars. Now there is fiber of course, and that can be gotten with lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. And fiber helps a lot towards helping your body feel full after eating. Most people unfortunately, don’t eat enough fiber in their diets though.

So they try to fill their stomachs with carbohydrates which are quick fuels which aren’t designed to sustain us for long periods of time. So eating high carbohydrate meals often leads us to eating way too much food each day. We eat something at 8am and we’re hungry again at 9 or 10. And if the stuff we’re eating is simple carbs with lots of sugar in them, then we’re simply packing on more fat as we go throughout each day.

This is the primary reason most people are miserable on low fat diets. The diets call for a certain amount of calories each day, but eating those calories with primarily carbohydrates leaves us feeling hungry and deprived. In order to eat enough to feel full and satisfied, we’re tripling the amount of calories we should be eating. Sometimes we’re even consuming five times or more than the daily amount that’s appropriate for us.

Like carbohydrates though, there are both good and bad sources of dietary fat. By adding good sources of fat into our daily eating habits, we’re able to keep the worst of our hunger at bay, and add longer term sources of energy and fuel for our bodies too.

Omega-3 Fatty acids is one source of fat that should be included in everyone’s daily eating plans. These come from fish primarily, but they can be gotten from supplements too. There are also saturated fats and unsaturated fats. Then there are trans fats as well. Trans fats and saturated fats are very bad for you, and should be kept to a bare minimum if you can’t cut them out completely. Unsaturated fats though, are essential for the proper health and nutritional balance in our bodies, and these will also contribute to your weight loss goals too, because they help you to eat less.

Eating high quality fats in some form of protein is the best dietary choice though, because the protein also helps your body maintain it’s energy levels longer, keeps you from getting hungry too soon, and helps your body build stronger muscles and bones too. And all of these are essential to maintaining a healthy body weight.
