Fat Loss Meal Plans Done A To Z

What could buying a wedding suit have to do with losing body fat?

A lot more than you think.

Especially when it comes to *Fat Loss Nutrition.*

I was just chatting with muscle and six-pack author, Vince DelMonte and he discovered some interesting similarities to help you BLAST YOUR FAT FASTER while he was shopping for a wedding suit.

Here’s what Vince had to share:

“I always believed that creating a custom tailored wedding suit was an extremely complex, ultra expensive and required an overly experienced and skilled tailor. Yet, I found a tailor who made the process SIMPLE.

I discovered that every custom suit begins with a SINGLE TEMPLATE. Over time the and multiple fitting and modifications, eventually the suit becomes exquisitely tailored.

=============================
My revelation can be plainly put,
the perfect suit begins as NOTHING
MORE than a one-size-fits all template.
==============================

Nutritional perfection (fat loss and muscle building), requires the same.

You need to begin with a simple, basic nutritional template and test it out; tweaking it according to the results you experience, and only you.

Only by beginning here can you arrive at the final destination – a perfect nutrition and eventually a perfect body.

=====================
There is NO magic diet plan
=====================

As you have learned the past 2-weeks, there is no magic diet book or test or “eat right for your blood type” kind of solution.

In our combined 20-years of experience in the nutrition field, the best way you can get your best body ever is to follow a meal plan that is based on concrete nutritional principles plus your own informed trial-and-error.

In other words, you begin with a BASIC NUTRITIONAL PLAN, based on the best nutrition information available, test it and modify the nutritional plan based on if you’re gaining muscle or losing fat.

The problem is that the 90% of the nutrition info available is CONFUSING, CONTRADICTING and CONSUMING.

Which is completely unnecessary and ridiculous.

============================
Getting the perfect body and perfect
meal plan must begin with an ORIGIN
============================

If you’re not prepared to put in some time, effort, discipline and pay attention to a few details, then getting and keeping a rock hard body (forever) may NOT be in the cards for you.

Sorry.

But if you agree that you need a BASIC TEMPLATE that you can begin with from which to depart, a simple “done-for-you” template that start, test and modify (if even necessary).

Today I want to DIRECT YOU to the best FAT LOSS MEAL PLANS I’ve ever seen. Vince DelMonte and Empowered Nutrition want to give you a complete 3-phase system called, “Done-For-You” Fat Loss Meal Plans.

When dieting and working out aren’t giving you the weight loss results that you want, it may be time to buy diet pills. If you’ve reached the point where you are considering adding prescription-based weight loss medications to your life, you might want to consider another option.

 Dietrine Carb Blocker is a great new supplement that is available without a prescription. You may be familiar with Phase 2, which was very popular among those finding it difficult to lose weight with diet and exercise alone.  Derived from the white kidney bean, Phase 2 neutralizes the enzyme alpha amylase produced in the pancreas, normally used to break down carbs. Starches are then able to pass through your digestive system without being broken down into glucose and fat, decreasing your net caloric intake, even with foods such as bread, pasta, and cereal.

By simply clicking around our website, you can safely and securely order Dietrine Carb Blocker from the comfort of your own home.  And, because this is a 100 percent stimulant-free, botanical supplement, you don’t have to worry about harmful side effects or drug interactions.

Getting More Fibre in Your Diet

Unique Hoodia – Diet Review

This extra-strength weight loss pill contains pure hoodia and nothing else. UniqueHoodia promises to suppress appetite and burn fat.

Getting More Fibre in Your Diet

If you read our review of the appetite suppressant Appesat you will know that rather than taking Appesat we recommend UniqueHoodia. There are several reasons for this (see our appesat review for all the reasons) but one big reason is that essentially all Appesat does is give you a boost of fibre in your diet.
Fibre is a natural appetite suppressant which is why you will often see high-fibre cereals advertising that they can keep you full until lunch. It goes without saying that an increase in your fibre intake can be achieved with a few simple (and much cheaper than Appesat) changes in your diet.
Making a change to your diet can, at first, seem like a tough thing to do. However, a few small changes over time and you will soon have increased your fibre intake and start feeling the benefits of appetite suppression.
Before we provide you with some suggestions on how to incorporate more fibre in to your diet let’s first look at what fibre is and what its health benefits are.
Fibre is made up of several complex carbohydrates and can either be soluble or insoluble. Unlike most other foods we consume, fibre contains no calories, vitamins or minerals and therefore passes through your body without being digested. This is also why people suffering from constipation are encouraged to eat more fibre (or roughage as it is also known).
If you are thinking you can gain fibre from eating meat then you are sadly mistaken. Fibre only exists in the cell walls of plants, therefore things like fruit, vegetables, and grain are all commonly high in fibre.
In addition to the appetite suppression and therefore weight loss benefits, fibre also offers other health benefits. It is known to help reduce the risks of bowel problems such as haemorrhoids and cancer of the bowel and colon. It also helps to stabilise blood sugar levels and reduce blood cholesterol levels.
As you can see, the benefits of a high-fibre diet stretch much further than just helping you to control your appetite and lose weight. Therefore even if you are happy with your current weight a little more fibre in your diet can only be a good thing.
With this in mind here are some simple meal ideas to help you begin to increase your daily fibre intake:
Breakfast:
Wholemeal toast
Wheat or grain based cereal
Bran muffins
Porridge oats
Pure fruit smoothie
Lunch:
Sandwiches made with wholemeal bread
Any vegetable soup with wholemeal bread
Beans on wholemeal toast
Wholegrain pasta salad
Nuts and seeds
Fruit Salad
Dinner:
Wholegrain pasta or rice with a sauce of your choice
Vegetable stir fry
Bean or vegetable Enchiladas (use wholemeal tortillas)
Vegetable chilli with kidney beans
By now you can probably see how easy it is to get more fibre in your diet and why we advise against spending money on Appesat. If you want to suppress your appetite then there is no better option than taking UniqueHoodia. Of course you can combine UniqueHoodia with a change to a high-fibre diet if you wish but it is not essential to help you lose weight.

Can you lose 10 pounds in 30-days?

If you watch enough weight loss commercials, you may be persuaded to believe, you can really lose 10 pounds in 3-days. The problem with these crazy claims is that there is no science to back up their outlandish statements.

Here’s the math:
-It takes 3500 calories to burn off 1-pound of body fat.
-The average (athletic) person burns 600-700 calories per hour on a treadmill.
-You would have to not eat for 3-days and then run on the treadmill for 17-hours a day for 3-days straight.

Not that’s what I would call “mathematically not feasible”. But none-the-less, “mathematically possible”, at least the fact that the math does add up, but the time frame is totally improbable.

So what does work?
-Eliminate 1200 calories a day.
-Eliminate 900 calories a day by limiting simple carbohydrates, fats, oils and non-lean proteins.
-Run or briskly walk 20-30 minutes a day in aerobic exercise to burn 300 calories.

If there is a net loss of 1200 calories a day, for 30 straight days, that would add up to 36000 calories, which is just enough to mathematically account for a loss of 10 pounds.

The 7 Weeks to Wellness “Fit-Club” program systematically instructs, motivates and encourages its participants to establish the necessary lifestyle habits to accomplish the goal of getting in “Great Shape”.

Row, Row, Row your boat....

I tend to get bored pretty easily.  After doing this cardio every day now, even though I change it up a bit and do HIIT one day and LISS another, it still gets boring.  I stumbled upon the rowing machine tonight at the gym.

I did my usual 20 minutes on the stairclimber, increasing the resistance as I went, then hopped on the elliptical and increased the level as I went along for 20 minutes too.  Then I saw this girl on the rowing machine.  I had never even paid attention to it before.  I thought I’d give it a try if she was finished by the time I was.

She was.

It kicked my butt.

Big time.

I made the mistake of getting on the thing and rowing with all my might right off the bat.  Needless to say, by the end of the first two minutes, I thought my arms were going to fall off.  I pushed through it though, but I did slow down.  I managed to get through 1350 meters in 10 minutes.  I have no idea how good (or bad, rather) that is.  But I really enjoyed it.  It’ll give me a little something to throw in the mix.

I became bored of the treadmill a long time ago.  I can’t remember the last time I actually used the thing.  I have to find some new ways to do cardio so that I stay interested.  Think I’ll look up some things.

Scales are trying to drift back up.  I hate it when it does that.  Any time I have a really good loss, the number climbs back up for a few days.  I really have to stop weighing like 5 or 6 times a day.  I know the number doesn’t even matter that much.  I hate that water weight can have such an impact! 

All in all though, I’m holding my own.

Common High Blood Pressure Causes

According to the American Heart Association’s website one in three adults has high blood pressure but only 78.7 percent of them were aware of their condition.

The website went on to point out that even though many times the cause of high blood pressure isn’t known, it is easily detected and usually controllable. Note that they said easily detectable, that is if you go to a doctor or health clinic and have your blood pressure checked.

You could be one of the 73.6 million people in the United States age 20 and older that have high blood pressure. One of the most alarming and dangerous things about high blood pressure, or as it is medically known – hypertension, is that initially there are often few or no symptoms. In fact, it can be difficult, if not impossible to know that you have it unless you make regular routine visits to your doctor. If you can’t make it to your doctor go to the health clinic in your neighborhood.

These visits are extremely important, because hypertension can lead to all types of very serious and life threatening complications. It can worsen diabetes sometimes, but even more commonly, can put you at risk of heart disease or stroke. Although I have heard conflicting reports, I believe that my father was in denial about his high blood pressure for years before it finally caught up to him, causing him a severe stroke. His stoke nearly crippled him and caused him to live in pain for the last ten years of his life. This is why you need to get your medical checkup. Because, even though it is dangerous, the common causes of high blood pressure are easily treated.

One of the most common high blood pressure causes is excessive salt consumption. Some people have high sensitivity to sodium (salt), and their blood pressure goes up when they use salt. When these people reduce their sodium intake their blood pressure tends to lower. According to many experts, taking in too much salt is common among Americans. It is estimated that we consume 10 to 15 times more salt than we need.

Diets of fast and processed foods contain particularly high amounts of sodium. To reduce your sodium intake levels read labels carefully to find out how much sodium is contained in food items and then avoid those with high sodium levels. Although this is only one of the high blood pressure causes for certain salt sensitive people, it can’t hurt to decrease your salt consumption, and may help prevent your risk of heart attack.

Even more common among high blood pressure causes is obesity. Obesity is defined as having a body mass index (BMI) greater than 30 kg/m2. It is very closely related to high blood pressure. Obesity causes hypertension because it puts a strain on your circulatory system. This means that your heart has to work harder to pump blood, resulting in higher pressure in your veins and arteries.

Medical professionals strongly recommend that all obese people with high blood pressure lose weight until they are within 15% of their healthy body weight. This leads to the next cause of high blood pressure, the lack of exercise. When you don’t do cardiovascular exercise your heart atrophies. This means that it needs to pump harder to circulate your blood. Using exercise to lose weight, you can treat both of these high blood pressure causes at once.

Be careful what drugs you put in your body. Certain drugs, such as amphetamines (stimulants), diet pills, and some pills used for cold and allergy symptoms, tend to raise blood pressure. Also, people that drink too much alcohol have a tendency to develop high blood pressure. For those that are sensitive to alcohol, drinking more than one to two drinks of alcohol per day tends to raise their blood pressure.

Some high blood pressure causes are not so easily treatable. For example, it appears that there is a genetic component, making some people simply more prone to high blood pressure. Along with this, there is a process called arteriosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries, which can occur with age.

Diabetes, which can be treated through diet and exercise, but not necessarily completely eliminated, is another one of the high blood pressure causes which can’t completely be improved through conscientious treatment.

So the facts remain that you can reduce your chance of high blood pressure by getting your checkup, exercising, and eating right. Start today. You owe it to yourself and your loved ones.

Revolution in Thailand: the green smoothy kind

 

Jennifer Thompson green smoothy guru

On the night before I began my fast here on Koh Samui, Thailand, I was lucky enough to bump into ‘my’ iridologist, and raw foodist, crystal healer and friend Jennifer Thompson.  And as luck would have it she invited me to a free green smoothy talk she was giving that evening.  Of course I accepted her very kind invitation and me and my fuchsia sunburn trundled along to her lovely beach hut right to have my raw life revolutionised.

 

The first thing you notice about Jennifer is that she glows.  A problem if you come from Chernobyl but in this case it’s a very good thing.  She is gorgeous, vibrant and energetic and lives a raw food life in a way that I don’t think would ever fit with my hectic London schedule and weak willpower.

Six of us sit around a low table groaning with a giant pile of green leaves, exotic fruit and bananas and of course, a blender.  Nothing fancy, it’s just a slightly battered well loved, plastic blender I’ve seen in Sainsbury’s for a tenner.

First off we define what a green smoothy is.  Jennifer tells us; ‘it is not a naughty treat, it’s a healthy meal in itself.  Green as in green leaves are the only thing in nature that the sun turns into edible energy and blending them helps break them down and open up the nutrients to our bodies. ’ She also told us that ‘green leaves are not a carbohydrate like vegetables or fruit and they provide lots of essential minerals and proteins normally associated with meats.   They are a category of their own.’ 

Jennifer continued and rapidly fired off the benefits of green smoothies. Here are the top seven I managed to remember:

1. it’s an EASY way to get your nutrients (iron, calcium, magnesium, Vits K, C, E, B) for the day;
‘A smoothy is a perfect way to eat greens because we need such a big volume of them that we couldn’t get in a salad. You just add the green leaves to a fruit base such as apples, pears, bananas, berries, whatever and blend.’

2. it’s a QUICK way to get all your nutrients for the day;
‘We’re all too busy to chew.’

3.  You’ll have LOTS OF ENERGY;
‘When you start drinking green smoothies you’ll notice you’ll have a lot more energy because it is energy coming directly from the sun.’

4. It’s CHEAP;
‘Instead of coming all the to Thailand you can a three day or two week  (or whatever) green smoothy diet and fast every month.’

5. GREAT FOR BABIES;
‘Green smoothies are a great transitional food for babies because they’re delicious and easy to swallow.’

6. it’s a HEALING food; and
‘Your body can’t heal itself without the tools.  The tools are the nutrients.’

7. STOP CRAVINGS.
‘Underneath every addiction, is your body craving for nutrients.’

The one major yet superficial benefit of green smoothies that Jennifer didn’t really go into, is that you’ll lose weight.  Once you stop succumbing to the cravings, your body has the nutrients it needs it can heals itself and because it will feel the love from you, you’ll shift the pounds! She also mentioned that because of the high level of fibre in the smoothy they can last up to three days so you can make them at night and eat them the next day. Oh – and they’re packed with anti-oxidants.  I’m 99% sold at this point and already visualise my new life as a green smoothy disciple.  And so we begin to blend…

For more information about the nutritional value of green leaves I found this easy to understand article on About.com.

Lose Weight, Lose Fat, First Change Your Life Style

Nowaday, people want to lose weight or lose fat solely to look for any quick methods so that they wish they can get to slim very quick. However, without actually changing their own life style, it is actually no way to lose their excessive weight or fat. The reason is quite simple indeed but peoples are just unwilling to face.

If you can face the fact that you are becoming fat or overweighed, the reason is indeed because you had changed your life style somehow in the past but yourself have never noticed the changes. Most obvious is eatting more often than before for various reasons and in turn doing much lesser exercises than before. All these life style changes have been affecting your body’s health. And peoples are knowing that but they are unwilling to admit the fact.

So, to get rid of all these “bad” things on our body, the most basic thing to do first is to tell yourself you must change your life style back to normal. That’s to eat properly and do exercises more regularly. These are the base to get good health and fit body, so less sick.

So, the key, do your best to make yourself living in proper life style.

Today, there are hundreds or even thousands of products in the market claiming to help people lose weight and fat. Some even claim to achieve the goal within a very short time. In general, I think many of them do work somehow and you would see the effect very soon. However, have you also noticed that such effect would not last for long and you would also soon regain weight and fat. The main reason behind is again because peoples are unwilling to adjust or change their past improper life style. They put all their hopes of these products but they are kept disappointed with further trying many other similar products.

To emphasize, you must accept the fact that, all of these body weight control products should only work as a supplementary tool in addition when you can make proper change to your life style.

Of course I have no ways to suggest what the best life style here as all people would live differently so there is no one best life style to fit everybody. But the basic is, try your best to make yourself living “normally” – that’s eating properly and doing exercises more regularly – by doing so, I bet you would have good health and less sick, which in turn would lead to a much happier and better life.

The Fat Loss 4 Idiots and The Truth About Abs are the two only body weight control products I have ever used on myself and for my teenage daughter. To restate, we have been using these two as supplementary tool to improve our health (not only losing weight or fat). The main things are we both adapth the way to regulate our life style.

Both of these two products are good and I think they both do their jobs pretty good. The different of them I can say is, if you simply want to lose weight or fat, the Fat Loss 4 Idiots is an easier one to get start up as it uses a breakthrough way to guide you eat. They named this method as the Calorie Shifting. You will soon find youself becoming slim and that’s why my daughter loves this product very much. For myself, I like The Truth About Abs more as it not only helps me in how to eat more properly, it also guides me how to build my body with more muscular look – all men’s underlying wish? In addition, it tells me the 5 most major mistakes to avoid in order to keep me fit.

Anyway, no matter which approach you would like, I think both of them are very knowledgeabe and informative on how to managing our body and health. Click Fat Loss 4 Idiots or The Truth About Abs to learn more and along, start to review your existing life style and plan how to adjust it to receive your new life.

Guest Blog Post – Why Fantasy Healthball Works for me (Part 2 of 2)

And now, part II of Duff Beach’s post: 

The tools are more important than the game.  The great thing about Fantasy Healthball is that the lessons you learn in battle stay with you after the season ends.  I haven’t counted calories in a long time, but daily I think about what I’m eating and how it affects me.  When I eat ice cream (I won’t ever give it up), I think about it and understand its effects.  When I have that third beer while watching the game, I think about it.  When I’m traveling on business, I make sure I take a walk before I go to bed and I eat a salad rather than a cheeseburger.  There’s no rocket science here.  Instead there’s habit and understanding, two things Fantasy Healthball instills.

Fantasy Healthball is only part of the equation; it’s my offense.  A looming health insurance physical became my special teams.  Not because I really wanted the lower rates (I did), but because insurance companies base their rates (their risk) on odds.  It’s not unlike baseball.  Sure, the career minor leaguer, called up for two weeks who’s batting below the Mendoza line could hit the game-winning homerun in the bottom of the ninth.  It could happen.  And a guy my height, weight and cholesterol level could live to be 90.  But it’s not likely.  Just like you want the career .300 hitter who averages 40 home runs stepping into the batters box when it matters, the insurance company wants to insure someone who’s fit.  I looked at the odds (and the rates) and realized they weren’t good.  Caring about being there for my family is my special teams.

Defense wins championships.  Playing Fantasy Healthball by itself won’t make you healthy.  Caring about the outcome will.  I used the good offense to create my best defense; I got the tools I needed from Fantasy Healthball.  My defense is the will power: knowing that I needed to walk past the jar of candy on my co-worker’s desk, make the oatmeal instead of grabbing the donut, have tea at night rather than a brownie with ice cream.  It’s not always easy, but it’s working.

I’m not there yet, but for the first time in 6 years I’m closer to 190 than 200, and still moving in the right direction, marching down the field slowly, steadily, and without any gimmicks.  I’m insurable, I’m a little quicker on my bike and hockey skates, and on top of it all, I feel better about myself.  Thanks Fantasy Healthball: you showed me the way with a good, fundamental offense.  — Duff Beach
