How To Break Through A Weight Loss Plateau... A few days ago, a customer asked me this question: "I eat healthfully, and exercise at least an hour every day, but I've been stuck at 146-150 for a while now. How can I get over this plateau and keep losing?" The older I get, I like to tell myself that I'm becoming smarter - or I may be just becoming lazier. In any case, I definitely don't work out that much. You can get great results without training that much. I was able to tolerate 1-hour workouts every day when I w... Why Ultra-Low-Carb Diets Don't Work... In recent years, ultra low carb diets have hained a lot of popularity. But, are they really all they are cracked up to be? First of all, let's see some of the philosophy behind these diets: Carbs make your body secrete a lot of insulin. Insulin is a hormone that carries nutrients from the blood to the different parts of the body. Some insulin is good (we would die without it - diabetics need to take insulin shots for example). But too much insulin is not good because it... How To Never Feel Hungry - Ever Again... First of all, you need to shift your mindset. Forget about "dieting for a week or a month so I can look good for summer". Instead, you need to adopt a LIFESTYLE CHANGE and stick to good nutrition habits... Dieting, at least the way it's perceived by most people, is horrible. You feel hungry, weak and deprived. How long will you be able to stay on a program that makes you feel like that? Not long. Here are some tips so that YOU WILL NEVER FEEL HUNGRY FOR THE REST OF YOUR... Do You Need Any Pills In Order To Lose Weight? Here's my view on the subject: Many people believe that taking a pill will solve all their weight loss problems. They buy the latest "miracle drug" or "miracle supplement" and they expect that to help them lose weight without lifting a finger. This approach doesn't work. How many times have you taken such a pill and you lost weight and kept it off without eating properly or exercising? What's that? Never? So I thought. I rest my case... If you want to lose weight, th... Why You Do Not Want To Lose 'Weight'... First of all, the human body is not just "weight". It has both fatty tissue and lean tissue (muscles, internal organs, bones etc). What you really want to do, is NOT to lose weight. It's to lose fat. Otherwise, if you currently look like a "pear" and end up losing "weight", you will just end up looking like a smaller pear. But, if you lose fat and preserve or even increase your muscle tissue, you will look (and be) healthier, stronger and sexier... When you want to lear... The Best Foods To Focus On In Order To Lose Weight... 1) Water. I'm not sure if this can be classified as "food", but it's undoubtedly the most neglected part of most people's diets. Our bodies are about 75% water. Yet, in America almost NOBODY drinks enough water (pretty much the same goes for the rest of the world). Drinking a glass of water 30 minutes before eating, will help you feel "fuller" - and you won't feel the urge to eat as much when the time comes. How do you know that you drink enough? Ideally, you should go to the... How To Lose Weight By Eating More.. Here's a great way to lose weight and keep it off: Instead of eating "3 square" meals, try breaking up your food intake in 6 smaller meals. This is the best way to lose FAT and maintain your lean tissue without feeling hungry... One of the better illustrations of this concept comes from the animal kingdom: Bears have a lot of fat because they need it in order to survive long starvation periods (like a hybernation). Deers are "lean and mean" as they tend to chew al... A Simple Way To Measure Your Food During A Weight Loss Program... Many people ask: "I'm committed to losing weight but I get confused with all the different grams and amounts of food to eat. Is there a SIMPLE way to make sense of all this? YES THERE IS! You need to start thinking of food in "portions". Don't even THINK of starting to count every calorie in every food or every protein gram. That will just confuse you. Try eating 6 times a day and have a portion of protein and a portion of carbs in each meal. A portion is more or les... Why Most Doctors Are Clueless On The Best Type Of Exercise To Lose Weight... There are two main types of exercise: Aerobic and anaerobic. Aerobic exercise has lower intensity and is performed for longer time periods. Examples: Using the stationary bike for 40 minutes, jogging for 30 mins - even doing the "chores" around the house. Anaerobic exercise is higher in intensity and lower in duration. For example, sprinting for 150 yards, lifting a weight for 10 reps (and not being able to lift it more times) etc... Which is the best type of exercis... How To Find The Motivation You Need To Lose Weight... Before you start a weight loss (fat loss) program, it's important to know WHY you want to do so. If you take care of the "why", the "how" will usually take care of itself... Don't just say "I want to lose 40 pounds". That's just a number. WHY do you want to lose weight? Will you be able to wear those clothes that you feel comfortable in? Will you look more attractive to the opposite sex? Will you be a great role model for your kids? Will you have more energy? Why do you... How To Feed Your Family When You Are The Only One On A Weight Loss Diet... Many people complain that it's hard for them to stick to a diet, when they are the only ones on a weight loss diet at home. After all, the rest of the family has to eat "real food", right? So, how can you "feed" your family properly AND still stick to your weight loss diet? I'll give you some real examples of what I do. Usually, each "normal food" (cooked for the family) will have "good" parts and "not so good" parts. The trick is to eat more of the former and less of t... How To Stay On An Exercise Program Even If You're Not Seeing Results Right Away... I was recently asked this question: "How can I stay on an exercise program even if I'm not seeing results right away?" Here's what I answered: By "results" I assume you mean losing weight. But remember that you may be gaining muscle and losing fat. So, although the scale doesn't change much, your body composition does. And ultimately, that's what the game is all about... If you haven't measured how much fat you have before you start your weight loss program, the s...
