So, you’ve decided you want to lose weight…again! Would you allow me to ask you an honest question? What makes you think you will stick to this diet if you couldn’t stick to the last one? Take a moment. My apologies if that sounded harsh, but you have to make sure you’re approaching this diet the right way. Here are some ideas to keep you motivated, and keep the pounds off. and burn the fat. Strip that fat from your life. It is a decision and a commitment.

1. Set small goals along the way – You have one year to lose 50 pounds. That sounds like it won’t be all that easy, 50 pounds is a lot of weight. But if you break it down into smaller goals, it becomes much more believable, and easier to stick to. In this case all you need to do is lose about one pound per week. sounds better already, doesn’t it? Burning fat slowly over time remember you put it on with patience you must take it off the same way. Stripping the fat is a patient process.

2. It’s a lifestyle – One of the words that makes overweight people cringe is ‘diet’, and who can blame them? Nobody wants to live on lettuce and food that tastes like cardboard. Because you are already setting small goals instead of big ones, you can make several small changes along the way, instead of changing everything you eat all at once. In effect, you are changing your lifestyle and not going on a diet. That’s the biggest secret to keeping the pounds off for good. You must tell yourself I am going to strip that fat out of my life daily with exercise and healthy food choices.

3. Have a strong ‘why’ – There are many reasons why people choose to go on diets. Some reasons are better than others. If you are trying to live up to an ideal perpetuated by the media and glamor magazines, then that isn’t a good reason (nor is it very attainable). However, if you just had a heart attack and you want to see your kids graduate from high school, that’s the kind of motivation that get anyone to stick to a diet.

4. Forgive yourself – Let’s be honest, there will be points along the way when you eat too much of the foods you know you should be enjoying in moderation. You know what? That’s okay, it happens. Don’t let a slip, big or small, sabotage your new lifestyle. Instead, forgive yourself and get back to making better choices right away.

5. Eat foods you enjoy – You won’t have as much trouble with #4 above if you allow yourself to eat the foods you enjoy. That doesn’t mean binging on them, but rather having smaller servings than usual. For example, having two chocolate chip cookies instead of a half-dozen. Enjoy each mouthful and get the full pleasure from the foods you love. You don’t have to deprive yourself to lose weight. You can strip that fat out of your diet and still enjoy what you eat. Remember to read food labels they are helpful in making good choices.

These five tips will ensure you are able to stick to your new diet. You can do it with the right information and mindset. A healthy new you awaits. Remember you are able to burn fat and lose weight. You can strip that fat out of your diet and live a full and healthy life.

Recently researchers released study findings showing some foods actually HELP weight loss programs.

Following is my summary of the released information:

4 Essential Foods To Help You With Weight Loss.

Do you know that you can lose weight by eating certain foods? Sounds unbelievable, I know. After all, the so-called ‘experts’ have probably always advised you to starve in order to lose weight. Now, the foods I’m going to tell you about don’t contain any special metabolism-boosting chemicals that can help you with quick weight loss.

The fact is that your body needs to burn a lot of calories in order to digest these ’special’ foods. As you might be aware, the more calories you burn, the faster you lose weight!

As we become older, our metabolic rate slows down considerably! Ever wondered why most people gain weight during their middle age? During middle age, a person’s metabolic rate becomes low; hence he is not able to burn as much fat as he used to during his youth. Eating these ’special’ foods is, however, a good way of boosting your metabolic rate! In this article I will tell you about some of these foods:

1. Green Tea: If you are in the habit of drinking morning tea, replace it with green tea! Ordinary tea is not bad, but green tea is even better! It contains fat burning chemicals which will help you with weight loss. It is no wonder that many of the weight loss supplements available in the market have green tea as a common ingredient!

2. Peanut butter: Peanut butter is a great replacement for the ordinary butter. Unlike the ordinary butter, which is rich in fat, peanut butter is rich in protein and fiber, both of which will help you with weight loss. While protein will help you burn fat by building lean muscle mass, fiber will help in suppressing your appetite for a long time.

Peanut butter is available from any local store but I would recommend that you buy the natural ones and avoid the popular commercial brands. Or if you want, prepare it at home! Peanut butter makes for a great breakfast when combined with wholegrain wheat!

3. Almond: There are two types of fat available: the good and the bad fats. The bad fats should be avoided because they make you fat! The good fats, on the other hand, supply your body with essential nutrients such as fatty acids. Almond is one such food. It is rich in fatty acids and protein. Almond helps you burn fat by boosting your metabolic rate!

4. Beans: How successfully you are able to suppress your hunger will determine how fast you are able to lose weight. Beans make for a great appetite supplement. Since they are rich in fiber, they help to keep your stomach full for a long time.

fat burning foods refer to specific type of foods that either burn fats accumulated in the body or improve metabolism. Adding these types of foods in your regular diet, you can easily wash out the fat from your body and keep yourself …

Have you seen those “fat free” foods in supermarkets? Have you possibly delighted in them guiltlessly thinking that they are healthy for you? There’s a good chance that you have because we usually follow what the media and the world around us says. In this day in age, along with other health fads, many people believe that fat makes you fat. This is true, to an extent. What we fail to notice is that not all fats are bad.

If I had to guess, since the words fat (as in what’s in food) and fat (as in excess body tissue, or adipose tissue) are the same word it makes sense that when you eat fat, you get fat. However, this is not the case. Now don’t get me wrong, there is a difference between good fats and bad fats. If you eat the bad fats they can make you fat, and also contribute to several diseases. Your body uses the good fats in several ways to repair itself, grow, and work more efficiently.

Some of the benefits of eating these healthy fats include:

-Healthy fats are essential for absorption of fat-soluble vitamins

-Healthy fats have an anti-inflammatory effect – they can help relieve many of the pains that we experience around our joints

-Healthy fats are essential for lubrication of our joints

-Healthy fats improve insulin sensitivity. Insulin is the hormone our bodies use to transport nutrients throughout the body. Insulin sensitivity is essentially a measure of how efficient our bodies use insulin. Insulin resistance is the opposite of insulin sensitivity and is one of the early stages of diabetes.

-Healthy fats can increase the strength of our immune system

-Healthy fats play a major role in the production of energy from foods we consume

-Healthy fats are required for our body to efficiently use oxygen

-Healthy fats can improve skin texture

-Healthy fats can increase your metabolism

-Healthy fats can help you burn more fat (the kind that is attached to your body)

Dr. Udo Erasmus, author of one of the most popular books ever about fat, “Fats the Heal, Fats that Kill”, writes in his book, “At levels above 12 to 15% of total calories, healthy fats increase the rate of metabolic reactions in the body and the increased rate burns off more fat into carbon dioxide, water, and energy (heat), resulting in fat burn off and loss of excess weight.”

In this article we will discuss what exactly these healthy fats are, where to get them from, easy ways to add them into your diet, and the optimal amount of fat that you should consume. I will also explain why the belief that “fats make you fat” has developed because fats can make you fat if you eat too many of them.

The Bad Fats

-Trans Fats

Trans fats are made by bubbling hydrogen through unsaturated fats in order to make them solid and have a longer shelf life. In addition, it was once thought that trans fats were a healthier alternative to saturated fats. However, this is far from the truth. In a statement made by the Bush Administration they warn us to keep consumption of trans fats “as low as possible” and also state that “the food industry has an important role in decreasing trans fatty acid content of the food supply.”

Some of the top Harvard nutritionists state that replacing trans fats with a safer alternative would “prevent approximately 30,000 premature coronary deaths per year.”

In fact, Denmark has already taken an initiative and banned the sale of trans fats to not allow more than 2% of the food to contain trans fats.

Now that you know that trans fats are bad, how do you avoid them? In America, the FDA has required food manufacturers to list the number of trans fats a food contains. This has helped consumers make wiser choices, but according to FDA regulation, “if the serving contains less than 0.5 gram, the content, when declared, shall be expressed as zero.” This rule allows food manufacturers to list very small serving sizes and as long as the amount of trans fats is less than 0.5 grams in that particular serving, they are allowed to list it as 0 grams of trans fats.

The ultimate way to tell if a food contains trans fats or not is if the ingredients list contains the phrase “partially hydrogenated” or “shortening”. Trans fats are mostly contained in foods such as candies, cookies, snack foods, chips, shortenings, and many restaurants.

-Saturated Fats

Saturated fats are widely recognized as being bad fats. You probably know or believe this to be true, and it is to an extent. There is actually quite a controversy between many dieticians and nutritionists about saturated fats concerning the optimal amount that we should consume or if we should even consume them at all. The reason for most of the bad rap that saturated fat has been given is due to the fact that the liver uses it to produce cholesterol. It has been noted to raise the good (HDL) cholesterol as well as the bad (LDL) cholesterol. The FDA’s general guideline for saturated fat is to limit it to about 10% of total calories per day. This would convert to about 20 grams per day for diet containing about 2,000 calories per day.

Saturated fat is mostly found in foods that are derived from animals. The exception would be coconut, palm, and palm kernel oils, which also contain saturated fat.

The Healthy Fats

-Monounsaturated Fats

Monounsaturated fat is believed to help lower the bad cholesterol (LDL) and raise the good (HDL) cholesterol. As listed in the beginning of this article, they also provide many healthy benefits.

Monounsaturated fats are mostly found in vegetable oils. Some examples would include olive oil and canola oil.

-Polyunsaturated Fats

Polyunsaturated fats contain the family of fats known as Essential Fatty Acids, or EFAs. As you can tell by their name, these fats are essential to the body because the body cannot produce them on its own. The main EFAs are the Omega-3 fatty acid and the Omega-6 fatty acid. They provide many of the benefits listed at the beginning of this article as well. Good sources of these fatty acids are fish, mustard seeds, pumpkin seeds, walnut oil, leafy green vegetables, sunflower, soybean, avocados, and perhaps one of the best sources is flax seed (make sure to grind them or buy them in an oil form – the stomach has trouble digesting the whole seeds).

-Why Fat Supposedly Makes You Fat

(Note: You can calculate your TDEE at http://www.weight-loss-resources.com/calculators/dailycalories.html)

There is a simple law known as the Law of Thermodynamics. In addition to this, our bodies burn a certain number of calories per day (this number changes everyday and is influenced by many factors). This burning of calories everyday is known as total daily energy expenditure or TDEE. If the amount of calories we eat in a certain day is below our TDEE, we lose weight (this weight is not necessarily fat all the time). If the amount of calories we eat is equal to our TDEE, our weight stays the same. If the amount of calories we eat is greater than our TDEE, we gain weight (as stated before, this weight is not necessarily fat all the time – it could be muscle). Many people skip this important fundamental and look at the type of food they are eating or several other factors before they investigate how many calories they are eating per day and how to adjust their amount of calories consumed to achieve their goals.

Fat holds 9 calories per gram, while carbohydrates and protein hold only 4 calories per gram. This means that eating fat (any type of fat, even the good kind) will result in a greater number of calories consumed. Therefore, it’s more likely that you’re going to go over your TDEE and gain weight, especially if much of your diet comes from fattening foods. In addition to this, fat is very similar chemically to the fat that your body stores. This makes it easy for your body to store consumed fat as fat (adipose tissue), but you must take into consideration that storing fat (consumed) as fat (adipose tissue) is not the only thing your body does with fat (consumed).

-The Optimal Levels of Fat

You’re going to want to eat part of your calories from fat to get their many benefits, but not go too high. Like anything else in the world of nutrition and fitness, there are many opinions on what the optimal levels of fat in the diet are. For instance, advocates of low-fat diets opt for absolutely no fat and believe that fat is what makes us fat. However, there is a flaw in this belief as they are also cutting out the good, numerously beneficial fats. Then there are high fat diets, such as diets suggesting low carbs (they usually say you can eat all the fat and protein you want). Although, it is generally accepted to consume between 15% – 25% of your calories from fat while severely limiting the amount of trans fats and watching the amount of saturated fat that you consume.

-Some Easy Ways to Add Fat Into Your Diet

Now you may be wondering how you’re going to add some of these healthy fats into your diet. There are actually some really easy ways to do so. If you eat salads, you can add about a tablespoon of olive or canola oil. In my experience, you usually cannot even taste these added oils. If you buy some flax seed and grind it, you can add it to almost any food. Once again, these flax seeds are mostly tasteless. Really, adding these healthy nutrients into your diet isn’t that big of a burden.

What are negative calorie foods and what does it mean? Actually, there is no such thing as a negative calorie food, since the calorie as a unit of heat cannot be negative. But when you hear people talk about negative calorie foods, it only means that the calorie level of the food is so low that it requires more energy to eat and digest it than how much calorie it contains. Negative calorie foods are also known as fat burning foods.

For example, celery is a negative calorie food. It does not contain enough calories to be able to digest it, so it takes energy from the body in order for it to be fully digested. Cold water has a negative calorie, too. Although water is a drink, you can consider it as a kind of food. Water has no calories at all and when you drink cold water, the body would need much more energy to bring it up to body temperature. So each time we drink a glass of cold water we burn up a little more calories and lose a little weight. But foods like this should be taken in moderation, and should be used wisely.

Anorexics are usually attracted to negative calorie foods. If used inappropriately, a negative calorie diet would result in starvation and nutritional deficiencies. The calories used to burn negative calorie foods will be taken from the body’s muscle mass, and in effect will be really harmful to your health.

It is more healthy to use a negative calorie diet by fasting or detox. You can do this type of detox diet right after the Christmas holidays or Thanksgiving or after eating so many rich foods. You can do your negative calorie diet for three days or so. It is an excellent way to clean out your body’s system. However, you should still get a doctor’s advice before starting this type of diet plan.

Do remember the following pointers once you decide on a negative calorie detox diet:

1. Never eat big quantities of one type of food, especially fruits. Some fruits contain substances that are bad to your body if you eat too much of it. For example, grapefruit and pineapple can damage your stomach lining. Other foods can cause diarrhea or burden your liver. It is better to eat all the different foods in small quantities.

Some examples of negative calorie fruits are: Apples, Blueberries, Cantaloupes, Cranberries, Grapefruit, Papayas, Pineapples, Prunes, Raspberries, Strawberries and Tangerines.

2. Never spend all day eating. You will only become bloated and feel unwell. You should plan four or five salad meals every day, and let your digestive system rest in between.

3. Try to eat slowly and chew your food thoroughly. You will use more calories that way. It is also better to eat the foods raw. Foods like carrots and beets will also be more satisfying if you grate them.

Some examples of negative calorie vegetables are: Asparagus, Beets, Broccoli, Carrot, Cauliflower, Celery stalk, Celery root, Cucumbers, Eggplant, Endives, Garden cress, Green beans, Green cabbage, Lamb’s lettuce, Lettuce, Radishes, Spinach, Tomatoes, Turnips and Zucchini.

4. Be aware that fasting or any kind of detox diet, there may be some uncomfortable symptoms such as headaches, tiredness, depression and irritability. If the syptoms become worse, stop the detox diet and see your doctor immediately.

5. At the end of your negative calorie detox diet, you should gradually return to a normal diet and eat normal foods.

Garlic and onions are also examples of fat burning foods. If you want to lose 9 lbs in 7 days, then get the list of 110 Fat Fighting Foods which are guaranteed to burn your stubborn fat quickly. Visit Fat Loss Reviews now and start losing that fat!
