Diet Centers = Plastic Surgery!

If you're visiting any of the diet centers like Herbal Magic or Dr Berstein you should plan to set aside an extra $5,ooo to $10, ooo for plastic surgery.

There has been too many people whom I've spoke to that were left with saggy unattractive skin after their weight loss.

You see any diet center that only focuses on one of the components of weight loss, that being dieting, will leave you with saggy skin that will require plastic surgery for you to look somewhat normal.

The reason is when the weight loss is too rapid and the exercise is missing you don't have the muscle tone, key word tone, to maintain a smooth body transformation.

Be sure when seeking weight loss to have a synergistic approach, which is: a concern for muscle, good nutrition and moderate aerobics.

Don't listen to me and you will look like the guy at the top!

For People Who Don't Want To Exercise!

All around you, people are waking up to the fact that some type of daily exercise is important. Still, you can't seem to get up the motivation to settle into an exercise routine. Before you reach for that box of doughnuts and turn on the television, here are five tips that may help to motivate you to get up and get moving today.

Tip # 1 - You'll Live Longer
People who get at least some exercise often live more years than persons who are essentially sedentary. If you want to be around to see what the world looks like in twenty, thirty, or fifty years, you are much less likely to achieve this goal if you are not at least engaging in some activity such as walking or biking.

Tip # 2 - You'll Have A Stronger Body
Your body needs to move in order to keep muscles working properly. This also goes for such muscles as your heart as well as those biceps, triceps and all the other muscles around the body. A strong body provides you with the basis to do many things that simply cannot be accomplished when the body is out of shape and run down.

Tip # 3 - You'll Have A Better Mind
Exercise helps to release chemicals known as endorphins into the bloodstream. Endorphins are one of several chemicals that help to keep our brains and other parts of the nervous system functioning properly. Getting up and working out will help to provide your brain with what it needs to operate at optimum efficiency, keep your nerves balanced, and result in an outlook and emotional capacity that leaves you ready for anything life happens to throw your way.

Tip # 4 - You'll Have More Confidence
Being in decent shape means not having to dig around for "big" clothes, have trouble being comfortable in an airplane, or fretting about the fact that the seatbelt on the car seat seems to get shorter every few months. Exercise helps to keep the body proportioned properly so it is easier to look good in what you wear, and feel comfortable and confident going anywhere you please.

Tip # 5 - You'll Enjoy A Better Sex Life
Exercise helps to condition the body for activity. Hardly anyone would not regard sex as an activity that is not pleasant and desirable. However, it is an activity that requires some level of endurance and physical response if the maximum amount of benefit is to be derived. If for no other reason, regular exercise will help you be more responsive during sex and enjoy orgasm to a degree you never thought possible.
Whether you think in terms of short term or long term goals, regular exercise just makes sense. Don't waste another day denying yourself the benefits of regular exercise. Get off the couch today and begin your new way of life. You'll be happy that you did.

How do you see yourself!

How do you see yourself? What do you say to yourself when you look in the mirror? Do you say things like, look at my fat face? Do you often describe yourself as the fat person in the group? Maybe you're not overweight, maybe you smoke. Do you find yourself saying phrases like I'm a smoker, or maybe you have a disease, do you find yourself talking about the disease every chance you get? Do you say things like, hi I'm Deborah, I'm a diabetic.

Whenever you say "I am" something that something is what you will become.

Why do I ask you all these questions? The answer is simple. How you see yourself is key to the health or fitness you currently have. You see, you will never outperform the image or mental picture you have of yourself in your mind. If you see yourself as a little fat girl, your subconcious will do everything in it's power to maintain the mental image you hold of yourself as the little fat girl.

If you find yourself constantly sabotaging your weight loss efforts and you feel you have a good weight loss strategy in place perhaps you need to look at your mind, your mental conditioning, your paradigm! You need to think thin. You need to start seeing yourself as you want to .....but I don't believe in that secret crap you might say to yourself but what if you're so close, what if you're about to finally have the body you desire, what if your mental conditioning is rejecting this very knowledge because your subconcious is trying to keep you a certain way.

Make up your mind today to change your mind.

How does one change their mind?

Habits and mental conditioning are changed with repetition and belief.

Create a list of all the qualities you would like to have and be sure to leave nothing out.

Now read that list to yourself everyday once in the morning and again at the end of the day or even better read it every chace you get.....and don't just read it, put some feeling behind it.

You'll notice yourself begin to change and you will start to accept and become what you've written down on paper.

Be careful not to let doubts or negative people talk you out of your new found knowledge.

Do this for the next 30 days!

Don't ever forget the power the mind has to make changes in your health or your life!

Why can’t I Lose weight check list!

Below I’ve listed 9 tips that you need to check and ensure you implement for maximum weight loss. Below, perhaps is the key to why your results are slow or non existent.

1. Cleanse your body and remove toxins. Toxin build up will suppress your immune system and slow metabolism. Slow metabolism equals slow fat loss.

2. Visit the bathroom regularly at least 2-3 times a day. If you’re not regular you’re constipated and have a slow metabolism. You could benefit from a colon cleanse or colonics.

3. Eat 5-6 small meals every day, every 3-3 ½ hours. Meals should consist of a lean protein, starchy carb and a fibrous carb. Each group should be about the size of a fist.

4. First meal of the day should be the largest and at least 30 minutes from waking.

5. Last meal of the day should be the smallest and at least 3 hours before bedtime.

6. Use the fat loss trick to boost fat loss. (Found on the facebook page.)

7. Exercise with resistance at least 3 times a week. Perform cardiovascular exercise everyday or at least 5 times a week.

8. Use breathing exercises to increase oxygen consumption and boost metabolism. A simple breathing exercise is to breath in (inhale) for 8-10 seconds filling up both upper and lower lungs, now hold for 16-20 seconds then exhale and fully empty the lungs. Do this every day for at least 2 minutes. The goal is to increase the oxygen intake and hold times.

9. Identify how you see yourself. I identify the image you hold in your mind when you think of yourself. You will never change or outperform the image you hold of yourself in your mind. If you see yourself as fat or overweight you will constantly sabotage your efforts to maintain the image of the fat or overweight person you hold in your mind.

Motivation & Exercise!

Exercise is always a do-it-yourself venture. No other person and no machine can do it for you. Hence, it is important to have those motivating factors so that a person who is into exercise in order to lose weight will hang about.

This is what people who are overweight should learn to understand. However, even if it so easy to set for instructions and easy to follow, this is not the same case for almost 35% of Americans who are unable to prevent being overweight.

Of course, once we are overweight, we usually want to trim down for a whole lot of reasons, some related to physical condition and fitness, while others would want to enhance their physique and appearance. And it is never too late to be fit.

In the past 50 to 75 years, physical activity has become the exception rather than the rule, both at home and on the job. People tend to drive where others once walked. People tend to flick a switch and machines do the hauling, lifting, pushing, and pulling for them.

However, people who try to lose weight tend to believe that weight gain is likely to happen if they will not take forward-looking steps to stop it.

The point here is that health experts believe that people lose their way, especially when it comes to dieting. They tend to go back to their old eating habits even after they learn to enjoy low-fat eating. They tend to return to sedentary ways even though they enjoy exercising.

But despite the momentum toward weight gain, you can stop it from happening, experts say. And there are plenty of good reasons to avoid excess pounds, reasons that go beyond vanity or social appearance. There are many reasons in order to keep you motivated to exercise and stay healthy for the rest of your life.

Ways to Lose Big

1. Have an explicit goal
A simple statement like, “I want to lose some weight,” is an ambiguous and an indefinite statement. It will not the least motivate you to start doing exercises right away.
What is important is to be precise on your goals. It would be better if you will set some detailed amount of pounds that you really want to lose. Envisage yourself what you will look like after reaching your desired weight. Doing this will inspire you to lose weight. In fact, maybe even more than what you have planned in mind. The idea is to use that figure to assist you to remain resilient and dedicated.

2. Develop a strategy
Strength of will does not work alone! To lose weight and stay with it, your strategy must comprise of both exercise and diet, and not either of the two. Try to start motivating yourself by throwing away your clothes that have bigger sizes. This will put you in a situation where you only have your sexy clothes and that you have to make a choice by staying motivated to exercise or not wear any clothes at all. Which do you prefer?

3. Make out little, calculable measures
Put into practice actions that will suit your lifestyle. This means you have to implement moves that you and you alone will benefit from it and not somebody else. The idea here is to opt for a more positive and attainable goal and not just to shun away from being plump and chubby.

4. Produce monitoring that has an important effect
It would be better to have somebody willing to take note of your progress or development. This will inspire you to keep on doing what you have started. Having somebody to listen to your achievements is definitely a better prize than just achieving your goal alone. Besides, having an extra hand to support you and cheer for you when things start to fall short. It is that simple way of hearing somebody believing on what you do is one of the greatest motivations to keep you exercising for more.

5. Construct a vigorous, sensible timeline
What do you plan to achieve in a year? Try to suit your objectives to your calendar, and do not look forward to see the results in just a snap. The bottom line is that in order to stay motivated to exercise entails a lot of hard work, which is contrary to what most people tend to think. The main idea is to let people change their lifestyle because it is only through this way that they will absolutely change their weight…for the better.

Are you depressed?

Of all of the health concerns that are even an issue in the United States & Canada, surprisingly enough, clinical depression is one of the more prevalent medical conditions that is tough to diagnose and sometimes even tougher to treat properly.

Depression is going beyond normal sadness. Depression is the state of being so sad or melancholy that it works against the productivity of your day. If you find it hard to get out of bed in the morning, hard to get ready for work and get out the door in the morning, you are experiencing some of the major signs of clinical depression. If you find that you are sleeping more often than usual, or you just do not have the desire to do the things that you used to do as part of your normal life, you should consider seeing a doctor or naturopath and talking to him about the possibility that you are experiencing clinical depression.

Clinical depression is characterized by feelings of extreme sadness, but not when appropriate. If you are feeling sad or overwhelmed by life at times when things are going okay, this is something to worry about. However, if you are feeling upset about life when there is reason to be upset, you probably don't have to worry much about clinical depression, at least, for that reason.

Other characteristics of clinical depression include lack of desire to do things you normally like to do, fights or arguments with those you love, and do not normally argue with. If you are feeling tired when you have had enough rest, or find it hard to fall to sleep at night, these are also indicators of a case of clinical depression. Lack of appetite or more of an appetite than usual (to the point of being strange and noticeable) are yet other factors of clinical depression that should be taken into account.

The thing about clinical depression is that it is rather ambiguous and hard to diagnose yourself. You can only diagnose depression with the help of a clinical or medical professional. Just because you are feeling sad does not mean that you have a medical condition that requires medications, as is the case with clinical depression.

Depression has no name, or face, age or gender. It is a syndrome that anybody can be afflicted with, and there is little to be done to prevent it. More than one tenth of America's population has experienced depression or is experiencing depression on an ongoing basis, starting from about the age of 20 and up. Not surprisingly, it is the leading cause of disability in the United States, and the second leading cause of disability in other countries around the world.

There are a variety of forms in the condition of clinical depression, some of which are borderline personality disorder and bipolar or unipolar disorder. These are all cases that are approached and treated differently, and require different approaches to the problem.

Quick Shopping Tips

Below You'll find some of the key points to succeed at the grocery store and avoid all the junk!

1. Know the store layout: Pay attention to where your favorite healthy foods are located, and skip the isles that you know are filled with unhealthy temptations.

2. Stick to the perimeter of the store all the fresh and healthy foods need to be refrigerated. The grocery stores are usually designed to have all their big refrigerators along the perimeter. Only visit the aisles for necessary dried foods, canned foods, spices and tolitries.

3. Stick to your list: Don’t go to the store and wing it. Make a list, bring the
list, and stick to the list.

4. Don’t bring the kids: If you have children, try to shop for food without them. If that’s not an option for you, many supermarkets now offer play areas for your kids, where they’ll be supervised and you can shop without their “help”. Some stores offer delivery to your home, or will shop for you and bring it right to your car. They save you time, and you can’t ask for a more guaranteed way to stick to your list.

5. Go after you eat: never shop when you’re hungry. You’ll inevitably buy things that aren’t on your list, or larger quantities or more easily consumable versions of foods that are on the list. The worst-case scenario: shopping without a list while hungry.

6. Spend more: Specialty independent supermarkets and health food stores are usually more expensive. But if it fits into your budget, these places tend to offer healthier choices (organic produce, grass-fed meats), and a wider variety to choose from.
