If you have failed with diets before (and we all have!) ask yourself:
- Was it because the diet didn’t work?
- Was it because I didn’t know how to eat after I went off the diet?
- Or is it I couldn’t find the willpower and motivation to stay on it?
I am guessing that if we are all honest with ourselves then the last one is the truth… and all of us feel guilty for this, like we are losers for not having the ‘magic’ willpower to be skinny for life.
Well I am about to let you in on a little secret and if you pay close attention then you can lose all of your fat and keep it off for life. See in my long term quest for personal success and continued self improvement, I stumbled upon the ’secret’ to motivation… and I know it works because I ‘cured’ myself from my food addictions almost overnight AND lost 4 inches in about 3 weeks… WITHOUT being on a diet.
And this is no ‘The Secret’, wish upon a star, cure… this is taking the way the mind works and using it to our advantage, not the foods advantage. Read the rest of this entry »
Sugar is one of the biggest problems we have in weight loss… and it is in everything. Sugar performs such chaos with our insulin levels and turns into fat as it gets stored in our fat cells waiting to be used as energy later… but we don’t use it later so it just keeps filling up our fat cells making them and us bigger.
One fantastic book which makes reducing sugar extremely easy, while still allowing you to eat ’sweet’ foods is ‘The Belly Fat Cure’ by Jorge Cruise.
It has an extremely simple, easy to follow system of counting the sugars and carbs in foods and also has recipes for swapping a ‘Belly Bad’ Meal with a ‘Belly Good’ Meal. With pages of recipes, lists of foods using the simple counting system and lists of good products and brands, this book is an easy to follow and highly effective way to lose belly fat.
Depending on how much you have to lose, you can lose 4 to 9 pounds (and even more) every week.
Jillian Michaels Diet
One of the most successful ways to lose weight and keep it off is to work with your body and hormones so your body turns into a fat burning furnace for life… not starving your body of calories and nutrients which is the most common approach, and destroys your metabolism making it easier for you to put weight back on. The other part of successful long term weight loss and maintenance is having a diet and exercise program which is customized to your body and especially your lifestyle and this is why the Jillian Michaels Diet is a life changer.
The problem is there are so many aspects to balance in your body to increase your metabolism… and everyone is different. This is why some people can lose weight easily and others struggle whilst working harder and eating better. To gain the knowledge to really understand how your body works would take years. Most diets you buy are from people who don’t understand this, that is why they don’t work. They are short term fixes, which harm more than they fix.
Here are the key elements to losing weight and maintaining a lean waist for life, not to mention keeping your body in optimal health to protect against preventable diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and some cancers:
- Eating for your metabolic type – This is the way your body oxidizes foods
- Hormones and how they effect weight loss or gain if out of balance. There are some great hormones and some nasty ones so knowing what foods to eat or avoid to get this massive puzzle right. Examples of Hormones: Thyroid, Testosterone, Estogen, Insulin, Progesterone… and these are just some of them
- Your Body shape and how you store fat and how that effects your weight loss and what exercises you should do
- The exercises that increase your metabolism
- The exercises and type of workouts that increase the afterburn effect
- How exercises change depending on your weight and fitness level
Now you can see why you have never been successful before with ‘eat less, move more’! Read the rest of this entry »

Belly Fat Weight Loss For Life
Belly Fat Weight Loss
Out of all of the areas of the body, belly fat weight loss seems to be at the top of the list. Everyone wants to lose belly fat and remove the extra inches around the waist. The fastest way to lose belly fat comes down to balancing your hormones to speed up your metabolism. For women this is especially important as they get older and certain metabolic pumping hormones slow down and a loss on the scale does too.
Why Weight Loss Matters
We all think of weight loss for superficial reasons. We want to look and feel attractive as it makes us more confident and we think more people like beautiful, thin people. Weight loss or keeping fat, especially belly fat low should be more important to us for health reasons. So many health issues can be associated with obesity and belly fat, or visceral fat is thought to be the most dangerous. Some of the linked diseases can be cardiovascular disease, diabetes, liver and kidney problems. If you are overweight then you need to focus on belly fat weight loss and to reduce your waist measurement as opposed to scale weight which will follow.
