Five Mistakes that Keep Us Fat
Have you been working hard trying to lose weight only to be discouraged by your results? Wouldn’t you love to show off the awesome abs you have developed? Well you can, all you have to do is remove the body fat covering them up.
This is easier said than done, right? Well, no, actually it isn’t.
Below are five mistakes that will hold you back until you fix them. The good news is that they are easy to fix.
Mistake #1 – Skipping Meals/Snacks
When trying to lose weight it is vital that you do not allow yourself to get to a “starving” level of hunger. When your stomach is yelling at you, your self-control is weak and that is when you make poor food choices.
If you allow yourself to get to a ravenous state, you start loading up on fat-laden foods. This makes sense becausefatty foods take longer to digest, so they will keep you from feeling hungry for a while. It may take you longer to feel hungry, but I am sure you agree that this is not a good food choice.
To keep from falling to this temptation, eat 6-8 smaller meals throughout the day rather than three larger ones. Eating smaller meals will require eating every few hours, but using this method will keep food in your stomach and make it much easier to say no to that greasy hamburger and fries.
Also, never skip breakfast. Get your metabolism going by giving your body something to burn. Keep it going by eating every few hours.

Why Cardio Doesn’t Work for Fat Loss
Why Cardio Doesn’t Work for Fat Loss
By: Craig Ballantyne, CSCS, MS

Cardio exercise is such a strange thing. In theory, it should work so perfectly well for all men and women, but as anyone who has tried it knows, the practicality of it just doesn’t add up.
After all, some men and women do cardio 6 hours, 9 hours, or more per week, and still have belly fat to burn. On the other hand, it works just fine for others.
British researchers wanted to get more insight into this paradox, and studied 35 overweight men and women, who weren’t previously exercising.
(Reference: International Journal of Obesity 32: 177-184, 2008).
Subjects exercised 5 times per week for 12 weeks. That’s a lot of exercise, but it helped the subjects lose an average of 8.2 pounds, which is great – I was positively surprised by the results.
So cardio will work for some people, however, in my experience, it works best in young men, who need the help the least!
Back to the study, the variance in fat loss between individuals was huge. Check this out…
The best subject lost a staggering 32.3 pounds in 12 weeks, while the worst subject actually GAINED 3.74 pounds.
The scientists think they know where things went sour. They classified the subjects into 2 groups, called the “Compensators” and the “Non-compensators”. Read the rest of this entry »
Lose Tummy Fat: 4 Easy Tips for Fast Results
Do you find that just thinking about a “diet” makes you want to run away from trying to lose weight? Given the way diet plans are promoted it is no surprise. How would you like to learn how you can lose tummy fat and not go on a “diet”? Below are four easy tips that you can start using today.
The human body is truly amazing. If you think of all of the things it can do all on its own, it is hard to imagine how it does what it does. For most functions, this is a big positive. However, when it comes to weight loss it can be a big negative if not handled correctly.
As a matter of survival, the human body wants to be as efficient as possible. Calories are used when only absolutely necessary. If the body can get by without using up a calorie, it will hold on to it for later use. This is great for those times when food is scarce.
However, for those trying to lose weight, this adds another opponent to the struggle. Your body will eventually adapt to changes you make in your diet. If you are trying to lose tummy fat, you need to change up your current eating routine so that this adaptation works for you rather than against you.
A terrific nutritional guide that will will help you blast tummy fat is instantly available, just Click Here to learn more.
The way you get your body to work with you is to increase your metabolism. A higher metabolism means a faster calorie burn. As we all know, burning more calories is needed in order to lose weight. Read the rest of this entry »
