3 Easy Tips To Lose Fat


Losing fat should not be as hard as many people try to make it. People who are desperate to lose fat are often prone to take more risks (something that this post is meant to help you avoid). The truth is that with some basic principles you can make some serious progress toward fat loss without any major effort. Often times, people look for some hints that will help them shed some weight quickly. There are some uncommon, quite simple tricks that are always surprisingly effective.




In fact, many people have applied these tips to make an easy ten pound difference as they get started on a new program. You might thing that these suggestions are really hi-tech or mysterious, but in reality, they are basic principles that have produced remarkable results over and over again. Here they are.

  • Avoid "white" (i.e refined, processed) food. This includes white breads, pastas, many cereal products, and even cracker-type snacks. Think about some other white things too like flour, potato products, rice, and even processed milk and cheese products. On the other hand, there are some white foods that are good for you to eat, like cauliflowers, fish, and chicken.
  • Ditch the sodas and other drinks that have calories, sugar, or even artificial sweeteners. I do not want you to drink much coffee either. Creamer? No. It is white, right? I want you to take in at least half the weight of your body in ounces of water. This means that if you weigh 250 pounds, you should be consuming 125 ounces of water every day. This will be essential for getting the fat loss process in gear.
  • I have already taken you off white products, now you need to do away with wheat products. I do not care if the package says whole wheat on it or not: it has to go. Check the ingredients of everything you are eating and if it has wheat in it, do not eat it.



These three rules are pretty easy to follow, are they not? Sure, you will have to adjust your habits a little bit, but it really will not be very hard once you get started. If you consistently adhere to these hints, you will be surprised at the progress you make in just a couple weeks.

How To Be Healthy This Summer - Health And Fitness In The Heat

Summer time is that time of year that we typically look forward to after, the cold period spanning the winter and a good part of the spring seasons. It is a favorite vacation time for most folks - especially residents in the temperate climate zone. We get to attend festivities, host barbecues and have lots of fun. However, the summer has its down side too. It's when the bugs come out, the price of gas spikes and - we have to deal with the heat and humidity! Now, that is where we have to get concerned about our fitness and health in the summer weather.




It is not hot and humid throughout the summer, fortunately. But, whenever it is, it can be hazardous to our health if we do not take precautionary measures.  And about the health aspect, the casualties from extreme summer weather tend to be those at the age extremes - the very young and the very old. These are the most susceptible group in extreme summer because the capacity of their bodies to adjust to handle the heat and humidity is less effective than that of the rest of the population. The measures can be broadly categorized as keeping well hydrated, dressing in the right clothing and avoiding the heat. Starting with keeping well hydrated, it is important to drink low temperature fluids(cold, chilly)  frequently. Water, fruit juice and ice tea are preferable to soda, coffee and alcohol. The latter drinks are diuretic and encourage loss of body fluids, which results in you getting dehydrated - not good for your health. For exercise zealots, it is smart to have water to hydrate yourself with while you work out.  




The preferred attire for hot, humid weather is light fitting clothing made from cotton as opposed to nylon or rayon. Cotton absorbs perspiration from your skin, thereby helping cool you down. Nylon and other synthetics retain the sweat, making you feel wet (drenched in your own sweat - "yuk"). Light colored (white, silver, yellow) apparel help to keep you cool by reflecting the heat unlike dark colored clothing which absorb and retain heat, thereby keeping you hot. With regard to avoiding heat, opt for conducting outdoor activities (jogging, gardening) when it is cooler (early morning or late evening) and keep to the shades as much as possible or stay indoors during the peak hours of  the heat. Because when the heat peaks, there is the additional problem of raised levels of ozone - which is hazardous when inhaled, especially for the elderly and persons with breathing problems. In the absence of air conditioning, opening the windows, while keeping the blinds or curtains drawn is beneficial in keeping indoor temperatures cool. That is it from me folks. With these tips, enjoy the rest of your summer; keep cool and stay healthy! To contain the summer heat and humidity, a gig that I'd recommend to anyone looking for extra cash is this one - right HERE.

Michael Phelps Diet - 12,000 Calories a Day? Wow!


I stumbled upon an article by Enstarz dot Com today while browsing the web. It was about the diet of the athletes at the London Olympic Games. I was impressed by the efforts of the Olympic hosts to cater for the diverse dietary demands of athletes from all over the world, serving them food 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. According to the article, the food court serving the athletes is open can serve 5,000 athletes in one sitting and an estimated 60,000 meals a day. The Brits have sure forked out some huge bucks to provide this. I sure hope that they get a good return for their huge investment into the Olympics when the games come to conclusion.




However, it was not the food court organization that really got my attention. It was the estimates of the amount of food consumed or to be consumed by the athletes - that really got my attention. For starters, an estimated 25,000 loaves of bread, 232 tons of potatoes and 75,000 liters of milk will be downed by the 
athletes in addition to fruits and vegetables in excess of 330 tons by the conclusion of the games... now, that is a lot of food! Then we turn to the individual diets of some of the Olympians. The Jamaican sprinter - Yohan Blake reportedly consumes 16 bananas daily... to keep his muscles potassium levels at their peak I suppose. One Japaneses athlete is mentioned to have admitted to consuming 50 sushi servings at the conclusion of his training sessions... I wonder how soon his body digests, absorbs and assimilates all that sushi to aid his delivery in his events.




And that brings me to the big piece of info in the article - as far as I am concerned... Michael Phelps diet. The guy is reported to wallop a whooping 12,000 calories on a daily basis! Wow! Unbelievable! That supposedly aids him in maintaining high energy levels to put up a peak performance days in a row... No wonder his prowess in the swimming pool is described as something out of this world! Well, that was some interesting reading for me folks. Perhaps, it's no big news to some of you, to whom i might be over-reacting to what may be no big deal at all. I wonder what the rest of you think. Nevertheless, for those of you who are my fellow fans of the Olympics, enjoy the rest of the games! Are you struggling with weight? Get Your Diet Plan For Weight Loss HERE...!
