How To Get Rid Of Excess Fat For Good


How many diets have you tried? I take it they are not working well are they? Are you looking to get rid of excess fat for good?

Then you are gonna have to quit going up and down on these roller coaster diets. In order to get rid of excess fat, you are gonna need to change your life.

You will need to make a lifestyle change, not a diet. Sorry, but there is no miracle cure here. You will need to make changes for the better.

You will have to start eating better, more nutritionally. Give your body the nutrients it needs. Eat more proteins, carbohydrates and fat. Yes, eating the right kinda of fats will help you lose excess fat.

If you are gonna cut calories, only cut about 15 to 20%. You cut out to many calories and your body will go into survival mode. You will quit burning fat and start losing muscle if you cut way to many calories.

Try eating 5 to 7 small meals a day, It helps boost your metabolism. Boosting your metabolism will help burn excess fat. Keep your calorie intake where it should be, just spread it out and eat 5 to 7 times a day. Make sure to eat more protein with your meals. Eat less carbohydrates toward the end of the day.

Weight training will also boost your metabolism. Lean Muscle is an active tissue, even at rest, that burns fat. Building lean muscle even helps burn excess fat while you are sleeping.

Exercise daily helps burn excess fat. Strength training exercises and cardio, just don't do to much cardio. Your body will get used to the cardio and again go into survival mode, and quit burning fat and eat away at your muscles. If you are doing an hour of cardio now, then you are not burning fat, you are eating away at muscle.

Try doing your cardio in short bursts. 5 minutes at high intensity, then 20 minutes at medium. Make sure you get 7 to 8 hours of good sleep. Take as much stress out of your life as you can. Watch the alcohol intake also. Alcohol is made from sugar and sugar is fat.

If you want to get rid of excess fat, you will have to make these changes in your life.

This is not a diet, this is a lifestyle change.

Are you ready for it?

Is the HCG Diet a Risky Fad?

I was reading this on Yahoo Health. I thought that I should pass it on.

Is the HCG Diet a Risky Fad?

As obesity hits an all-time high, desperate dieters may be risking their health to take pounds off with the controversial hCG diet. A fad that started in the 1950s—and is now the latest weight-loss craze—the diet involves daily injections of human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) combined with extreme calorie restriction. Women all over America are flocking to doctors’ offices and weight-loss clinics to shell out up to $1,100 a month for a medical visit, a supply of the hormone, and syringes to inject themselves.

A cheaper version of the hCG diet, heavily promoted on the Internet, uses hCG drops, sprays, or lozenges that claim to be “homeopathic.” Both versions of the diet have sparked medical debate. “This diet is appalling,” Dr. David Katz, director of the Yale University Prevention Center, recently told ABC News. “It takes irresponsible diets to new heights.” Yet Dr. Mehmet Oz has promoted the diet on his popular TV program and declared it “worth a try.” So who’s right—and what’s the medical skinny on the hCG diet?

The Key to Eliminating Hard to Lose Belly Fat

By Seth Czerepak


Tummy fat can be hard to eliminate. Because it's located in such a central section of your body, it can be very
visible. For this reason, the vast majority of people with noticeable belly fat frantically would like to get rid of
it. Losing belly fat isn't easy, though, and that's why almost all people fall short. They have eating and
exercising habits they've become used to, and these habits don't result in the loss of belly fat. If you
want something to alter in your own life, you have to make a modification. You can't keep doing what you've
already been doing and expect to transform.

Contrary to some well-known belief, running on the treadmill isn't the best way to lose your belly fat.
Although getting some exercise is certainly great, you have to workout quite a bit to be able to shed any significant
amount of fat. Because of this, it might not be the best place to start out. Many people try and lose
weight by exercising, and well this is definitely a step-up from not doing anything, it usually fails,
because these people approach it the wrong way. Don't expect you'll lose your belly fat inside a week of
beginning to workout.

The main element to losing your belly fat would be to alter the way you eat. Let's face it. You gained your abdominal fat by
eating a particular way, and the only efficient way to lose it really is to improve the way that you eat. Instead of
eating high-fat foods for each and every meal, you have to eat a few select meals which are high in the nutrients
that you need, as well as low in fat which will collect inside your belly. This should help you eliminate all the extra fat
that's being stored in your belly right now, and make certain that you are not getting any simultaneously.

The key to losing belly fat while eating in a different way is to ensure that your metabolic process keeps up. There
are a few ways to do this. One of the more common methods is to consume small appetizers between your
meals. You will need to do this because if you consistently eat several meals a day, the body will get
used to it. Eating a snack will help make your metabolism kick into gear during the time when you're not
eating a meal. This ensures that you are always shedding fat, no matter what you're doing. This way, you
will make certain the meals you are eating is working for you, and not against you when it comes to
losing belly fat.

Although changing your diet is an amazing first step, you need to be diligent. You need to keep eating
effectively for as long as you want to lose belly fat. Once you've lost your belly fat, you can't stop, or you
will be back in the exact same place which you were before. If you wish to lose belly fat, it's time for you to commit to a
new lifestyle. One that you will undoubtedly take pleasure in a lot more.

Progressive Bench Press

I read this article on Yahoo! Sports...The PostGame.
The article is titled "Want to bench press more? Stop benching"

It's an article about bench pressing. Now I agree with alot of it that the author talks about, but there are a few things that I don't agree about.

It seems that he is saying that when you do your bench presses, you do reps of your max weight. If that is true than how is it your max if you are doing reps?

I always believed your max to be was you made 1 rep that is almost a failure, but you finish the rep. That puts your muscles for that lift exhausted just by that 1 rep. Whether it's doing bench presses or squats or whatever.

The way I have done my bench presses is progressive. You start off with a weight that's less than what you are used to doing, then you do 25 reps of it. (If you are not used to doing 25 reps than
make sure you go lower in weight)

For your second set, you up the weight, (you can go 5 or 10 pounds each side) then do 20 reps.

For each set, you up the weight 5 or 10 pounds and drop five reps.

You should do 5 sets with the last set being of 5 reps. One minute rests in between each set. Let your spotter add the weights for you.)

What I would do when I reached that last rep of the last set, I would add my 20 pounds and do 1 last rep.

Or I should say I would try to do that last rep. (Some of you that have done it this way are thinking yea he's nuts)

Now when I do that one rep, it is no where near my max, but if you do your presses progressively,
it will feel like that is your max.

You dont want to be doing anywhere near your max on that last set, your muscles are exhausted and pumped
up, you would be lucky to finish your last five.

I would set my weight on my last set at where you normally do your other sets at.
Example... if you do 5 sets of 15 at 250 pounds, when you do it progressive, then make your last set of 5 around 250 pounds. Just do the math to get your first weight set.

Now I do agree with the author about you need to warm up before doing your bench presses.
There is always gonna be a disagreement about how long to warm up before lifting weights.
I believe a good warm up depends on the weights your lifting. I would warm up 15 to
20 minutes before I did my bench presses if that was the first exercise I went to.

Normally I have done other exercises before doing my presses.
Just make sure you warm up properly before doing any lifting.

I will put up the address below if you would like to read that other article.
I would like to hear from you.Tell me what you think about progressive lifts, or if you have another way of doing your sets.
I'm sure other readers would like to try them out.

Thanks for reading.
