Exercise combined with a few changes in your diet can melt off the pounds in no time.  But if you think exercise means hours sweating in the gym, think again.  As with any new exercise program check with your doctor before proceeding.

Studies have shown that walking at a brisk pace has the same benefits to your heart as jogging, with less stress to your joints.   Walkers are less prone to injuries than joggers.  A brisk pace means that you can talk while you’re walking without gasping for air.  If you can sing a tune you’re going too slow.  You should be able to keep up the pace for 30 to 60 minutes without a lot of stress.

There’s an old saying, and for your animal lovers please forgive the expression, there’s more than one way to skin a cat. Well, that saying is also quite true when it comes to losing weight. So please let me start off by saying that in this article, I am neither endorsing or condemning any of these methods for losing weight. I am simply pointing out what your options are. Hopefully, after reading this, you’ll have enough information to make an informed decision regarding what weight loss method you choose to follow.

The most common way for people to lose weight is by simple dieting. Unfortunately, it’s not as simple as you’d like to think mainly because there are so many different diets out there. Each one has its own method of going about losing the weight. For example, you have the weight watchers point system diet. Each food gets a certain number of points assigned to it. Based on your current weight and what your goal weight is, you’re to eat a certain number of points each day and no more. It sounds easy, until you see how many points you’re allowed and how many you get hit with just from eating a tablespoon of peanut butter. Read the rest of this entry »

Can you really lose weight just by thinking about it? Well studies have shown that athletes can improve their game through the technique of visualizing the correct sequence of muscle movements. During the process of visualization it seems that even though the muscles don’t move, the brain sends electrical impulses that mimic the impulses sent when the action is physically carried through. That is practicing by thinking about it.

People who want to lose weight are often their own worst enemy. Looking in the mirror they chide themselves for their flabby thighs or stomach over hanging the belt. They don’t see that they’ve lost weight, they just see how much more weight they should lose. This mind set just re-enforces their poor self image. Then when a caramel swirl cookie beckons, they figure why not, they’re fat and flabby anyway. Read the rest of this entry »

1. Eat breakfast.  This meal gets you off to a good start in lots of ways.  It’s been shown the people who eat breakfast while on a diet, lose more weight than ones who don’t. Your breakfast doesn’t have to elaborate.  Have a half a bagel spread with low fat cream cheese or peanut butter and a piece of fruit.  Two hard boiled eggs, a glass of skim milk and a  few crackers.  A fruit smoothie made with nonfat yogurt, fresh strawberries and orange juice.

2. Make lunch your big meal and dinner a light supper.  You need energy to get you through the busiest part of the day.  Food eaten in the evening just sits in your tummy and makes you feel heavy.   Make it a rule not to eat after 8 PM every evening. Read the rest of this entry »
