Safe Weight Loss

What is necessary for safe weight loss?

A calorie deficit must be created through exercise and a small calorie reduction. This means more energy goes out than comes in. If it were only so simple!

Problem #1

Appetite seems to increase with activity level (therefore cancels out energy expended), this may not always happen.

Problem #2

The body will attempt to conserve weight during times of increased activity and reduced calorie intake (body becomes more efficient with energy).

Problem #3

Scales do not tell how much of the body weight is muscle, fat, OR water.

Problem #4

We all know someone who eats a lot (and eats a lot of "forbidden foods") BUT does not seem to gain a pound, while others eat very little and still have difficulty in altering their body composition.

Tip #1

You must use weight training to build muscle mass and increase metabolism and you must exercise consistently. The energy expenditure will help develop a negative caloric balance.

Tip #2

Base your success on how you feel, how your clothes fit, and how well you perform in your sport/activity, NOT on how the scale reads.

Tip #3

Do not starve yourself. The body may shut down its metabolism and it becomes extremely efficient in saving/storing energy. Eat nutritious meals spaced evenly throughout the day to maintain the metabolism and provide energy for exercise. Reduce any unnecessary food intake.

Tip #4

Remember you are trying to eat fewer calories then are needed to maintain weight. Aim to reduce the calories by a maximum of 20% (i.e. 200-400 per day), BUT/ never go lower than 1500 total daily calories. Reducing the amount of fat in your diet greatly helps in reaching a calorie deficit (because each gram of fat has 9 calories).

Tip #5

Do NOT eat "fat-free" foods in excess. Remember the aim is a calorie deficit! There are no magic OR forbidden foods. Some are better than others BUT very few items need to be fully excluded from a diet. Allow yourself at least the occasional treat.

Tip #6

Choose water as your low-calorie fluid source, unless you need the nutrients that are provided by a glass of milk OR juice.

Be honest #1

Do you really need to lose weight? Losing weight often involves certain sacrifices, so determine if it is really necessary for health or performance and then make full commitment to the goal.

Be honest #2

Can you decrease your food intake without your health suffering? Try to reduce calories with your health in mind by reducing the foods with least nutritional value (i.e. processed foods, sugary drinks, excess sauces, and sugar).

Be honest #3

Are you truly hungry when you eat? Are you just thirsty, bored, stressed?

Be honest #4

Are you active for only 30minutes (your exercise session) and then stuck in a chair for the rest of the day? Consider this before you justify an increase in caloric intake.

Sincerely,

Excessive Sweating? Most Common Causes of Sweating and Steps to Tackle It

Why do people sweat? Let me tell you, sweating is a natural phenomena as everyone has sweat glands which secrete the salty liquid. Out body is kept cool due to sweating. As a matter of fact, the number of sweat glands seem to be an important deciding factor on the intensity of sweat, while each person has more than a million. It's a common assumption that men sweat more as they are often seen to be seating profusely. In reality it's vice-versa – women have more sweat glands yet man's glands are more active. Do you know when we sweat? Sweating increases when we are hot, or excited, nervous and anxious. Though sweating is a natural phenomena, sometimes it needs attention. You might need to visit doctor right away, if you experience excessive sweating along with weight loss, fever, shortness of breath etc. Excessive sweating could also point to underlying medical problems like hyperthyroidism or just menopause.

What Can Natural Cures do to Restore Your Hair?

Mankind has probed the distant gulfs of space with telescopes, peered into the microscopic world, set foot on the Moon, and mapped the genome, yet the intertwined subjects of hair, hair loss, and hair restoration still include many mysteries. Getting your hair back once the luxuriant growth has begun to thin, or has fallen out completely, is a daunting proposition, and sometimes seems impossible. Biochemistry is still one of the most demanding, and baffling, scientific disciplines. With this in mind, it hardly comes as a surprise that the hair restoration potions and concoctions that pharmaceutical labs churn out on an almost daily basis seldom live up to their advertising. In a field where so much work remains to be done, artificial hair restoration processes are naturally mostly ineffective – and people like you and me are understandably reluctant to pay a lot of money for the latest "wonder chemical". Hair Loss Blueprint is based on the refreshingly effectiv...

The 7-Day Weight Loss Detox

Are you on a Detox diet? Everyone here in Toronto seems to be at one time or another... Recently, one of my clients told me about his detox plans. For 7 days of the year, he buys a detox kit and follows the instructions to cut out all alcohol, caffeine, sugar, and refined carbohydrates - all while taking some supplements to help "detoxify" the liver and kidneys and extra fiber to help cleanse the colon. Now I don't mind this client doing this, because he is a model client and follows a very healthy lifestyle all year round. At 40, his blood measures are very healthy, he lost a few pounds of body fat last year, and despite being in a high-stress financial job, he is a picture of great health. Is the detox going to significantly improve his health? No, not really. And most of them aren't dangerous either, but a 7-day detox won't reverse 40 years or even 1 year of a poor lifestyle. I'll admit, Detox diets might help kick-start your weight loss p...

8 Sure-Fire Mental Techniques For Blocking Out Training Discomfort

Let's face it; intense weight training is no easy task. It's no secret that if you want to see dramatic results in both muscle size and strength, you must be willing to push yourself to the limit every time you enter the gym. This is one of the biggest reasons why most people don't see the muscle-building results they desire; they just plain don't train hard enough. And why don't they? Here's why… It's painful. It's uncomfortable. It's downright gut wrenching. Too bad, so sad, my friend, because if you want real muscle gains then you'll have to rise above and conquer the natural feeling of pain that is associated with intense sessions in the gym. Luckily there are a few special techniques you can use to "mentally numb" these feelings and to blast through the pain barriers that separate you from the gains you deserve. Give some of the following methods a try and I think you'll be pleased with the results... 1) Life-Th...

What is the best treatment for postpartum depression?

Postpartum depression affects one in every four new mothers. It is a common problem that can occur a few days after giving birth and continue for a few days, weeks, or years. Usually, it passes off. However, treatment is required when postpartum depression continues for a few weeks. It is in chronic cases that PPD lasts for several months. The first thing doctors are most likely to tell a patient of postpartum depression that there is no real treatment available. Doctors can give anti-depressants, muscle relaxants and lead the patient to psychiatrists. That is not really much of a treatment. But the problem is, if no treatment is taken for the symptoms of postpartum depression then it can last for years. Doctors handle postpartum depression as just any kind of depression. They resort to medication, counseling, and suggest support groups as treatment. Psychotherapy could be helpful to some extent in the treatment of postpartum depression. In fact, psychotherapy is the mo...
