Quick Weight Loss Tricks That Really Deliver

If you’re on the lookout for some quick weight loss tricks, the following you’re definitely going to want to make use of.  So many people approach their fat loss program attempting to make a huge diet overhaul that only leads to them becoming frustrated and not getting the results they’re after.

Fortunately, if you have the right quick weight loss tricks to utilize, this won’t be the case for you.

Let’s take a brief look at what you need to know so that you will, without question, see the quick weight loss that you’re after.

Quick Weight Loss Trick #1: Eat Breakfast Within 30 Minutes Of Waking

If there’s one misconception that many people have about how to lose weight quickly it’s that they should skimp on breakfast in order to save calories.  You think that if you can do away with this meal, you’ll have 300-400 calories more to eat later on in the day.  Or, if you choose to just not consume those calories at all, you’ll just lose weight that much faster.

The problem with this thinking though is that the vast majority of time, those who decide to forgo this meal actually just end up eating more later on in the day because of it.  Their stomachs are ravenous and by the time 10 am rolls around, they’re headed right for that vending machine and nothing’s stopping them.

If you can eat a small, healthy meal first thing upon waking, your hunger is going to be far more controllable throughout the day thus you’ll see better results.

Easy Fitness Tips from Express Fat Loss

You probably exercise regularly. You watch what you eat. You keep up-to-date on the latest health concerns. You don’t binge on sugar.

And you never – ever – eat fast food. Well, almost never.

But you do have a few unhealthy skeletons in your closet -ones that you probably aren’t even aware of.

The following 5 Mistakes are frequently committed by health conscious people. Once you break these bad habits, you’ll find that achieving your weight loss goals just became a whole lot easier.

1. You’re Dehydrated

• It has been said that 75 percent of the population is chronically dehydrated. Would you disagree? When was the last time that you actually drank 8 glasses of water in a day?

• Dehydration occurs when more fluid leaves your body than is taken in. Symptoms include: fatigue, irritability, headaches, nausea, rapid heart rate, and, in extreme cases, even death.

• Dehydration also slows your metabolism, which hinders weight loss.

You shouldn’t wait until the feeling of thirst or dry mouth hits you, at that point damage has already been done. Instead, constantly rehydrate throughout your day to avoid dehydration.

The best way to do this is to incorporate water into your daily schedule. Have a water bottle at your desk and train yourself to sip on it often, and get into the habit of drinking a full glass of water with each meal and snack. Read the rest of this entry »

5 Best Tips For Your Workout

I just received an email today from Frank – and in this email Frank wanted to know why he doesn’t have the power he needs to push heavy weights in his chest workout. It’s an interesting question, and I want to share it with you, because my answer will show you how to plan your workouts to get the most out of them!

This is a copy of Frank email (with his permission).

*********************************************

Hi Martin,

First of all I would like to say thank you for all the good information you provide with your tips and your newsletter. I loved your tips and try to make all of them my new way of life.

I don’t know if you can answer to my question. When I train my chest, it’s very hard for me to be able to push heavy for my workout.  I’m pretty good with the rest of the body parts.

My split routine is like this:

Monday: Back/Core

Tuesday: Legs

Wednesday: Shoulders/Core

Thursday: Biceps

Friday: Triceps/Core

Saturday: Chest

Sunday: OFF

Do you think this is a good split for my routine?

I usually do 5 set of 3 exercises for each body part?

Each set is around 12-15 reps and I keep the same program for 12 weeks.

Thank you

Frank

********************************************

I can see right away that a few things are not right with Frank’s routine.

First, let’s talk about how Frank split his workouts to work different body parts. It depends on what you want to accomplish, but for nearly everyone, heavy strength workouts out 6 days a week is too much. I might do this when I’m training for a bodybuilding tournament, but otherwise I do my strength training 4 days a week and I stay in amazing shape all year round. Read the rest of this entry »

The Survival Guide to Overeating

Go Green for Optimal Health

Do you rarely get sick, have no need for prescription meds, and can’t remember the last time that you had to visit the doctor?

If you answered no to the above questions then you are likely suffering from nutritional deficiencies.

It’s hard to know exactly what to eat for optimal health, especially since everyone has a different opinion.

Even when you make every effort to eat healthy, your diet almost always lacks important nutrients.

In her book, Green For Life, Victoria Boutenko set out in search of the perfect human diet. She immersed herself in nutrition research and discovered a very interesting observation.

The Chimpanzee Connection: Chimpanzees and humans are more closely related than any other animal species. In fact, research shows that we share 99.4% of our DNA sequence with our chimpanzee friends.

Why is this significant? Chimpanzees are in far better physical shape than humans, and possess strong natural immunity to cancer and other fatal — and quite common — human illnesses.

Victoria’s research all pointed to the chimpanzee diet as the reason for their superior health. Chimps and humans have vastly different eating habits.

It’s All About The Greens: While humans enjoy pizza and hamburgers, chimps eat a diet extremely high in dark leafy greens — an item that hardly exists in the human world.

Victoria then turned her focus on dark leafy greens. What she discovered was a super-food packed with extremely high levels of nutrients. Here are 5 amazing facts about greens:

1. Greens are packed with amino acids…AKA protein.

I’ll bet you didn’t know that dark leafy greens are a legitimate source of protein. It’s true!

Protein molecules are made of a chain of amino acids. When you consume protein from chicken, you’re getting chains of amino acids that have already been assembled into a complex protein.

When you eat dark leafy greens you are getting a plethora of individual amino acids. Your body then takes these amino acids and assembles it into complex protein chains.

2. Greens give you lots of insoluble fiber…like a sponge.

You know fiber is important, but did you realize that fiber is needed to rid your body of toxins? Insoluble fiber is extra special, since it is built like tiny sponges that each absorbs several times more toxins than its own volume. Check out just a few of the many benefits of fiber:

• Fiber reduces cholesterol
• Fiber prevents and reduces the risk of cancer
• Fiber lessens risk of diabetes and improves existing diabetes
• Fiber helps shed unwanted pounds and prevents overeating

3. Greens promote bodily homeostasis…necessary for optimal health.

Homeostasis is the physiological process that regulates all substances in your body at ideal levels for optimal health. It is a very complex process, one that your body is constantly working towards.

In order for your body to achieve homeostasis it needs an abundance of vitamins, amino acids, carbohydrates, essential fatty acids and minerals. Greens are a super provider of all of the above.

4. Greens are alkaline…which promotes healthy cells.

In 1931 Dr. Otto Warburg won the Nobel Prize for discovering the cause of cancer: weakened cell respiration due to lack of oxygen on the cellular level — this causes fermentation, which results in acidity, or low pH.

There is a close connection between the foods you eat and your pH balance. For example, Parmesan cheese is highly acid forming, -34; while spinach is an amazingly alkalizing food, +14.

When you get plenty of greens on a daily basis, you’re able to better maintain a good alkaline pH balance.

5. Greens are made of chlorophyll…liquid sun energy.

As amazing as it may seem, the molecule of chlorophyll is strikingly similar to the molecule of human blood. Chlorophyll heals and cleanses your organs while destroying harmful substances.

Here are just a few of the powers of chlorophyll:

• Chlorophyll builds a high blood count
• Chlorophyll helps prevent cancer
• Chlorophyll counteracts toxins
• Chlorophyll promotes an alkaline body
• Chlorophyll helps sores heal faster
• Chlorophyll improves varicose veins
• Chlorophyll improves vision

Introducing The Green Smoothie: While the evidence for eating lots of greens continues to mount, who really wants to chomp through a pile of spinach everyday? The solution is as convenient as it is efficient: the green smoothie.

Victoria discovered that when she blended greens with fruit and water, the result was an easily absorbed, delicious smoothie. The key to reaping all the benefits from your green smoothies is to use a wide variety of greens and to drink it every day. Most enjoy it as a quick, nutrient-packed breakfast.

Victoria did a study where people drank green smoothies everyday for a month. Most participants reported a noticeable increase in their energy levels after just the first week. This boost of energy may be just what you need to get into gear with your workouts.

Remember, regular challenging exercise is the key to achieving your ideal body.
