The Quick Weight Loss Diet Trend Disadvantage

If you wear a size 14 and you blow a bundle on designer size 8 dresses as motivation, you will probably end up feeling guilty, frustrated, and angry if you are not slinking around in it a month later.

In reality, you will do much better setting smaller, achievable targets for yourself. If you must try the new-clothes strategy, go down a size at a time, and do not buy anything you have to take out a second mortgage to pay for.

Because, if you continue to remorse on losing weight fast, you will end up incorporating fad diets or those that offer quick weight loss.

For most people who are not aware of this fact, there are no such things as quick weight loss diets and there is no nippy weight loss for people who want to be slimmer than what their body can provide.

The problem with most people is that they tend to opt for nippy fixes wherein fact these things are not effective at all.

What Does Not Work

Today, there are plenty of weight-loss strategies that are guaranteed to backfire. This is because these nippy fixes instilled on certain diet plans are, in reality, not efficient because it does not employ the right principle and the right attitude in losing weight.

These quick weight loss diet plans are known as fad diets because that is exactly what they are, just a fad. In time, when fashion is over and popularity wanes down, people will realize that the diet they have depended on is not reliable at all.

To know more about these fad diets that are selling like hotcakes in the market today, here is a list of some telltale signs that would tell you not to try it even once.

Here they are:

1. Skipping meals

Does your diet plan require you to skip meals? If it does, then, it is a fad diet.

Abstain from food completely is not a healthy habit. It may even cause some serious complications or problems especially for people who are sick with diabetes.

Skipping meals will only cause a hypoglycemia, or the condition wherein your blood sugar is really low, and will probably only be effective in making you eat twice as much at the next meal.

2. Dieting without exercise, or vice versa

Exercise is crucial to the human body. It is important in the proper blood circulation and other activities of the human body system.

Therefore, diet plans that do not require you to exercise are nuisances. People are born to move.

But then again, exercise alone is not sufficient. Hence, it would be better if diet and exercise will go hand-in-hand.

3. Continuous dawdling

There is no better time to start losing weight. If you want to really lose those excess fats, you have to lose weight now.

Delaying tactics will not get you anywhere and will only make the problem worse. So, if your diet plan suggests a certain timeframe for you start losing weight, chances are, you are following the trend of fad diets.

Boiled down, it is best to rely more on the way you feel than the tale of the tape. This means that if the weighing scale tells you that you are losing weight even if it is slower than you would like, but you are feeling energetic and positive about your weight-loss efforts, then, you are just doing fine.

As mentioned and is worth mentioning all over again, weight loss is not a quick process.

Part 2 Tips On Visualization And Weight Loss Proven

Part 2 Tips On Visualization And Weight Loss Proven Way To Shed Your Fat

In Part 1 of Tips On Visualization And Weight Loss – Proven Way To Shed The Fat!, the basics of how visualization works were covered.

Visualizations are done by you painting a picture of what you want in your mind. An example would be a picture of your beautiful, sexy body in a revealing bikini if you were a woman. Another example would be as a man with a hot ripped body of a Charles Atlas, which the ladies would find irresistible. However, you must make sure the image you paint is doable by you.

If you happen to be one of those people who have difficulty in painting the sexy body you want, it’s ok to use a picture back when you were thin and sexy. If that doesn’t work try the tactic of someones body you admired. Perhaps it could be someone like a celebrity.

You can find a picture of almost any celebrity on the Internet or in a magazine. Download it or cut it out of a magazine and remove the face from the picture and put your face on the body. That may sound a little nutty to you, but it works.

Once you have a workable image you must work that image; each and every day. Visualization will work best for you by taking a set time, if possible, 2 or 3 times a day and see your beautiful sexy body in your mind. You will be bringing it out of the subconscious part of your mind into the conscience part of your mind.

It is best to be in a quiet area when you do this. If you are at work perhaps you can slip into the stairwell or even the broom closet, as long as its quiet. You will need to spend several minutes each time doing this. Although it may seem hard at first, when you do it for a period of 30 days, it will become a habit for you.

One thing you may not have known it that you can target specific parts of your body one at a time. For an example you could focus on the “thunder thighs” slimmed down to an enchanting 36 inches. Or perhaps the “balloon butt” down to two well toned cheeks in a bikini bottom. Now is that hot or what!

Here is one last tip to give you a boost with your visualization and weight loss plan. When your going about your every day routine, reaffirm out loud or silently in your mind; “My body is so sexy and thin, I’m really glad that it is” or something similar. Whatever you do make sure it’s positive and right now not something in the future.

Some people also find this difficult to do. However, its really easy to print it out on a 3X5 card and carry it with you, wherever you go. Just whip it out when you feel your getting weak in your resolve. The first thing you know you will feel your weak moments being further and further apart.

You do know that your new sexy body is not going to happen overnight. But by using visualization and weight loss together it may well happen a lot sooner than you had hoped for.

It would be wise for you to read Part 1 of Tips On Visualization And Weight Loss – Proven Way To Shed The Fat! to have a full understanding of how visualization can help you lose weight.

How To Live A Life Of Health And Fitness

With cancer cropping up left and right, people are suddenly becoming more conscious with what they eat and do with their bodies. Fad diets have become a craze and so are gym workouts and alternative exercise for the body. But despite being the in thing to do right now, some people still find it hard to start walking the road to a life of health and fitness. After all, when you have already lived a life of debauchery, it will be harder to convert and walk the other road even if it is not as less traveled by.

To help you, here are some of the ways that you can start with your healthy lifestyle.

1. Dont smoke If you do not have the habit of smoking, good for you. Dont try to start as you will only get addicted with the cigarettes and it will be harder to quit when that happens. It is not true that you can smoke and quite when you want to. Its not. Once you become hooked into it, there is no turning back. If you are already part of those people who burn their lungs out everyday, the best bet is to make a commitment to quit. By doing this, you are already halfway to recovery. Make sure though that you are serious with your plans and you are not just doing it for any other reason than your health.

2. Lessen the junk One of the ways you can help keep your body healthy is to eat foods that are more natural and with less chemical content. Avoid eating junk foods like those huge packs of potato chips or binge on candies. You should also make it a point to lessen your intake of meats and consume more vegetables, fruits and seafood. This does not mean that you will forgo with meat altogether. You should still eat meat. The protein that it contains is important for some of the basic processes of the body.

3. Skip the Soda and even the iced tea As much as you can, drink water. This is the safest and healthiest drink there is. Sodas even the diet ones, are carbonated and contain high amounts of sugar and carbohydrates which can later be translated into fats. You can also try drinking green tea which can help in the digestive system. Iced tea may be tamer than sodas but these drinks also contain a lot of sugar which can pile up in the body. Stick to water and drink lots of it.

4. Stay active Another way to start living a life of health and fitness without having to shell out money and make lots of effort is to schedule an exercise routine every day. You can schedule it every morning when you wake up in the morning or do it at night after work. Whichever schedule you want to, make sure that you keep it to 30 minutes long to an hour. That way, you can exercise those muscles and avoid muscle pains. Exercise will also strengthen your bones and your body, promote better breathing and cellular activity, clear the brain and of course keep those extra calories out of the body. Thus, even if you eat a lot, you are not storing those fats and carbohydrates. You are expending them through your workout routine.

Eat Right For A Healthy Life
Dr. Shashikant Patwardhan

Our diet is an essential factor for the formation of our body. It is clearly mentioned in an Ayurvedic classic ‘Charak Samhita’ that consuming improper diet in improper way is the main cause of ‘Disease’.

According to ‘Charak Samhita -“An appropriate and suitable diet in a disease is equivalent to hundred drugs and any quantity of drug hardly compares to good results in disease without following proper dietetic regimen”

Ayurvedic has mentioned following principles for living full span of life with perfect health.
