The
secret to losing weight isnt just watching whats on your plate. . its
also about watching whats in your glass. Popular soft drinks, fruit
juices, and energy drinks can be loaded with added sugars and
carbohydrates that can sabotage your weight-loss strategy. Here are
five tasty ways to drink up without packing on the pounds. 1. Water We
all know this one, but its important to remember that water is the
single best choice for effective weight loss. Whether its still or
sparkling, aim to make water your go-to beverage choice. Think water is
boring? Try adding fresh lemon slices, lime, cucumber, and even a slice
of tomato to add flavor without adding many calories. 2. Vegetable
juice Whether in a can, bottled, or homemade, vegetable juice is an
excellent way to get the fiber and nutrients your body needs to fuel
your weight loss. If you can find a low-sodium variety, even better.
The veggies will keep you fuller longer and the tangy flavor will keep
your taste buds happy. 3. Unsweetened tea Green tea has been proven to
help boost metabolism and speed up Weight loss. Try it hot or iced with
a bit of honey for a low-sugar sweet drink. Dont forget black and
oolong teas, too! Both are filled with antioxidants, which can help rid
your body of toxins. 4. Black coffee A morning cup of joe or an
afternoon iced coffee can help spur your weight loss by providing a
boost of caffeine that suppresses hunger. Also, coffee has been shown
to stimulate thermogenesis, which heats up the body and boosts
metabolism. Just be careful about what you add to your coffee stick to
skim milk and very little sugar. 5. Skim milk Milk is an excellent
source of lean protein, vitamin D, and calcium that can help build your
muscles and keep your bones strong. Opt for low-fat or skim milk for
all of the vitamins without the added fat. If you are feeling
indulgent, add a little chocolate low-fat chocolate milk is a great
option for post-workout muscle recovery.

How to Tighten Excess Skin After Weight Loss. (Part 2)

Tip
1. . Dont Lose Weight Too Quickly. . Crash diets and excessive amounts
of time spent exercising can rapidly shed both muscle and fat,
resulting in a double whammy on your skin the supportive underlying
muscular structure that holds skin against your body is lost, as is the
fat that keeps the skin stretched out. Quick and dirty tip for not
losing weight too quickly. . Aim for 1 to 2 pounds of fat loss per
week, and make sure your Weight loss program includes weight lifting so
that you do not lose lean muscle. Tip 2. . Stay Hydrated. . Attend to
your hydration needs. Water is a crucial component of maintaining skin
elasticity. From both food and drink, you should be taking in at least
two liters of water each day. Tip 3. . Eat Properly. . Two necessary
ingredients that keep skin plump and elastic are collagen and elastin.
Protein rich foods such as cottage cheese, milk, legumes, tofu, beans,
seeds, nuts, and fish all contain collagen and elastin forming
components, as well as oils to help maintain healthy skin. Quick and
dirty protein tip. . For optimum absorption, squeeze 100 to 200
calories of these protein sources in immediately after your workout.
Tip 4. . Take Care of Your Skin Nourish and care for your skin. Daily
exfoliation can help to remove dead skin cells and increase skin
circulation. A hot bath with sea salts and minerals can improve skin
tone. Skin tightening creams with herbal formulas and ingredients such
as aloe vera, hyaluronic acid, yeast extract, soy protein, vitamin C,
vitamin E and vitamin A can help to hydrate and increase collagen and
elastin formation in skin. Stay away from harsh detergents, such a
sulfates in soaps, shampoos and dishwashing liquids, limit your sun
exposure and stay away from tanning booths, and limit your exposure to
hot and chlorinated waterall of these things will decrease skin
elasticity. Quick and dirty tip. . If you swim for fitness, use soap
and shampoos that are specially designed to remove chlorine. When to
Consider Surgery for Loose Skin. . Skin can only be stretched so far
before it looses some of its ability to snap back. If youve had a 9
month pregnancy, then youll be able to tighten your loose skin. But if
youve carried a hundred or more extra pounds for many years, you may be
a candidate for plastic surgery to tighten and lift loose skin. This
fix should only be used in extreme cases, and I should warn you. . my
clients who have undergone this operation have actually gained more fat
afterwards while they were rehabilitating from surgery! . . Bottom
Line. . As mentioned earlier, elasticity of your skin will naturally
decrease with age. Though you can address issues such as not losing
weight too quickly, staying properly hydrated, eating the right foods,
and caring for your skin, you simply have no control over your age!
Quick and dirty tip. . Rather than letting age stress you out, you
should focus on the things over which you have controllike exercising
and eating rightand youll find that you always look good. Whether you
have a kangaroo pouch, an orangutan chin, or elephant legs, you can use
the tips in this article to tighten loose skin or prevent loose skin in
the first place.

Running And Weight Loss – How to Lose Weight by Running?

Running And Weight Loss – How to Lose Weight by Running?
Many people start running because they want to lose weight. As one of the most vigorous exercises out there, running is an extremely efficient way to burn calories and drop pounds. A 150-pound person will burn approximately 100 calories per mile when running. If youre hoping to use running to lose weight, heres some advice on how to be successful.

1. . Healthy Eating is the First Step.
If you want to lose weight by running, keep in mind that youll only shed pounds if you burn more calories than you consume. To lose a pound, you have to burn, through exercise or life functions, about 3500 calories. So youll need to combine running with a healthy diet. Runners do have special nutrition needs, but the basic principles for healthy eating still apply. Try choosing smaller portions of high-fat and high-calorie foods and eating more whole grains, fruits, and vegetables.

One common eating mistake among runners is that they overcompensate for the calories burned by exercise with extra calories from more food and beverages. Some runners even find that they gain weight or hit a Weight loss wall, despite their regular training.

One way to prevent stealth calorie consumption or mindless eating is to write everything youre eating in a journal for a few weeks. Seeing a record of your food intake will help you see where your diet needs improvement. It will also keep you on track because youll think twice before putting that chocolate-covered donut in your mouth.

Get more tips on how to avoid overeating by controlling your portion sizes.
2. . Follow a training schedule.
Sticking to a training schedule is a simple way to stay motivated to run. Youll know exactly what you need to do every day and each run builds on the next, so its much harder to postpone or skip workouts. Following a schedule can also help you avoid a running injury by not increasing your mileage too quickly. If youre new to running, here are beginner training schedules to check out.

. . 4 Weeks to Run One Mile – for those brand-new to running.
. . 3 Weeks to a 30-Minute Running Habit – for beginners who can run for a minute.
. . 4 Weeks to Run Two Miles – for beginners who can run at least a half mile.
. . 5K RunslashWalk Training Schedule – for beginners who can run for 5 minutes at a time.
. . 5K Beginner Runner Training Schedule – for beginners who can run at least one mile.

3. . Run Regularly.
If you dont want to follow a schedule, you still need to have some consistency with your running because you wont lose weight by running once a week. Its best to get some activity every day but, if thats not possible, try to shoot for at least 3-4 times per week. If you find that your motivation to run is suffering, follow these tips to get inspired.
4. . Keep it Challenging.
Incorporating speed work or interval training , running at a very fast speed for short intervals of time, into your running routine can also help your weight loss efforts. Speed work burns a great amount of calories in a short period of time. Youll also increase your muscle mass and improve your resting metabolism, causing you to burn more calories throughout the day.

. . Speed Workouts.
. . Fartlek Treadmill Workout
. . Pyramid Speed Workout
. . Treadmill Hill Workout
. . How to Do Yasso 800s
. . How to Run Hill Repeats
. . Ladder Speed Workouts on the Track. .

5. . Eat for Performance.
If youre running regularly and youre training for a long-distance event, proper nutrition is especially critical for your performance. Skipping meals doesnt allow you to train with adequately fueled muscles. You shouldnt skimp on calories before, during , when necessary, , and immediately after your very intense and long workouts. These are crucial times when nutrition is important to performance and recovery.

If your goal is fat loss, should you lift weights as heavy as you would if you were trying to gain muscle?

admin — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 00:35:56 +0000

What Im trying to say is, that if your goal is only fat loss, aside from doing lots of cardio, should you lift weights with the same intensity you would as if your goal was building muscle? Or should you go for less weight/more reps?

Cardio burns excess stored fat. Do cardio first then lift.
This keeps the heart rate elevated for a longer period of time.
Try reps of 12-8-4 adding 10 or 20 pounds between sets.
Do one exercise rep then an opposing exercise.
Something like bench press using the pectorals then rows using the back muscles.
Switch them back and forth only taking the time to change the weights or pins.
You should really be getting tired at this point. Now you are seriously burning some calories.
Switch muscle groups and do upper body one day and lower body and core the next. Cardio everyday.
One day of total rest with maybe a brisk walk, ride, or run to stretch out.
Good luck.

I took my own challenge and I love the results. No excuses for getting off track during the development and process of putting together the Kinetic Bands – Kbands Burn 60 day Weight loss and fitness program. Finally after finishng and producing the complete 10 DVD program I had a chance to follow the complete system from start to finish.
I wanted to burn more calories , burn more body fat , improve my cardio endurance and aerobics fitness level.
Doing the complete 60 program confirmed that it really is an awesome program. I lost 10 pounds but it was the fat I wanted to shed and I did just that. Going down one jeans size was huge for me since I had worn the same size jeans for the last 20 years. My fitness level has gotten so much better along with my flexibility. Trevor Theismann and I teamed up to produce a workout program that anyone can do. Interval training allows you to go at your own pace and build your way up . Even at the beginner level you will burn more calories and fat, lose inches and pounds and feel great.
