Weight Loss

I know many of you have been trying to lose weight ever since your new year's resolution, and if you're like most people, it's been a struggle. Why is it that losing weight is so hard? Why do so many people struggle with their weight? Well, it may be that you are not receiving the proper information, thus you are not educated enough on the "mechanics of weight loss."

There are certain things you need to know about your body and what it takes to lose weight. It's quite possible that this is what you've been missing. And, who better to explain weight loss than TriVita's Chief Science Officer, Brazos Minshew. I've posted his latest Wellness Report article below.

Tools for Summertime Weight Loss
by Brazos Minshew

Nearly half of all people in North America make a resolution at the beginning of the year to lose weight. The next most common time for embarking on a weight-loss program is in the summertime: the "swimsuit season." So now is the perfect time for an encouraging article on how to reach your weight-loss goals.

Unfortunately, being overweight is not simply an ornamental problem; it's not simply about how we look. It is about how well we are. It's about how much energy we have for the people we love, and how much vitality we have for the commitments we make. It's about how successful or unsuccessful we will be at reaching our goals and living a life of purpose and meaning. It's that serious.

Mechanics of weight loss

Let's review several steps for weight loss that we have gathered from expert sources:

1. Find your Ideal Body Weight range using the Body Mass Index chart below.

2. Calculate your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) using the calculator below. This is the amount of energy you burn at rest. Reduce your daily calorie intake to match this number.

3. Decide how much weight you want to lose each week. Please understand, weight loss of more than 2 pounds per week is unrealistic and probably dangerous. Your goal is to lose fat; rapid weight loss usually comes from water (which you need), muscle (which you need) and bone (yes, you need that too!).

4. Get started: Reduce your caloric intake to match your BMR and increase your activity to burn 1/2 to 2 pounds of fat per week.

• Always eat breakfast.
• Never eat within 2 hours of bedtime.
• Morning exercise is better than evening exercise, but both are good.
• Never consume more than 400 calories in an hour.
• Eat according to an organized plan. For example, The South Beach Diet, Eat More - Weigh Less by Dean Ornish, The Sonoma Diet (my favorite Mediterranean diet plan), etc.
• Do both aerobic and resistance exercises most days of the week to meet your fat loss goals.

Remember, your sense of purpose will dictate your actions step by step!

Speed bumps

Somewhere along the way you are going to experience discouragement, disappointment or despondency. It may be when you hit a weight loss plateau. It may be when you see others doing what you used to do and the old habits pull at your heart. It may be when those inner voices - I call them my "counsel of critics" - start to tell you lies about failure and success. What do you do when you hit a speed bump?

The answer to this question does not lie in the "how - when - what" of weight loss. The answer lies in the "why." Your personal "why" gives you energy. It inspires you, motivates you and drives you to complete your journey.

Supplements for weight loss

Leanology® supplements are also an important part of weight loss. In many people they represent the critical difference between success and failure in lifetime weight control. However, you must always remember that they are supplements; they supplement a diet and exercise program. Use them wisely as an important part of your total wellness program.

Remember to let your desire fuel your action; let your actions harmonize with your sense of purpose. Simply be resolved to live a life of purpose and you will have the energy to get beyond the speed bumps. ** END of ARTICLE **

Ok, now that you have a better understanding of the "mechanics of weight loss", what are you going to do about it? Are you struggling with your weight? Are you looking to shed a few pounds so you can finally look good in your swimsuit? Well then, it's time to take action! Mr. Minshew has laid the foundation, but it's up to you to get started. No one can do it for you. Weight loss is personal, and until you take the necessary action to finally loss weight, nothing's going to happen. So, let's get started!

Weight Loss

Health and Wellness - Aerobic Activity

Perhaps you can relate to this real life body fat example… maybe you are one who finds herself or himself in the gym about two to three times a week. So, in your mind, you think that excess fat must be dropping considerably, correct?

Well, if the above is NOT the case, then you can be sure of this… you are overlooking at least one of the basic, personal weight loss success tips we are discussing here today. In other words, when your body fat percentage remains unchanged, regardless of what you THINK you are doing about it… your result tells you surely that at least one crucial weight loss concept is getting lost. In this case, the two concepts to double check on are aerobic threshold and energy balance (as these two, respectively, deal with physical action and eating style).

To be clear, let us list again your primary personal weight loss success tips…

Without a doubt, the foods you eat will either complement, or undo your body fat progress. Use that stepping stone to move closer to your weight loss goal. Secondly, engage in consistent aerobic activity that is around 50 to 60% of your heart rate reserve. When you combine smart dieting choices (that is, foods of low saturated fat content) with threshold engaging aerobic action, you almost always become leaner. You can do more, and you can do better.

Become familiar with your aerobic workout threshold, and also with your daily calorie count. To cause a monumental body fat reduction explosion for yourself, virtually all you need do is adopt the specialized approaches in your personal weight loss success tips. Do that because these can make your weight loss campaigns more enjoyable plus more productive. You will activate your heart rate for optimal fat loss, plus become a more adept physical performer in the process… not to mention you will begin to look even greater, too.

Quite often people who are dieting need to go out for business meals and this can create problems however all is bot lost. Most restaurants have children's menu's which usually menu the portions are smaller. you do have to be chose carefully as there aren’t loads of healthy choices. Order something like grilled chicken from the children’s menu, It will be similar to chicken from the adult menu, only in a much smaller portion.

Weight Loss

Health and Wellness - Getting your Body ready for the beach

Everyone has his or her idea of what their dream body should look like. What if I told you that you needed to mentally stretch before you can physically shrink. Stretch? But why stretch? Let me explain.

Weight loss is extremely simple. All you need to do is to consume less calories than you burn. With a caloric deficit, as surely as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, you will lose weight. Its not rocket science. But whoever has said that weight loss is easy, probably never really undertook a serious weight loss effort. Weight loss is simple but its not easy. Weight loss is going to be difficult.

All that you have been doing to date has resulted in the body that you have. The food that you have been eating and the exercise that you have not been doing have all contributed. You are what you eat!. But remember that your weight did not just happen to you! Your current weight is the sum result of all your choices. Nobody forced any food into your mouth at gun point. You ate the food by choice. No one stopped you from exercising. You chose not to exercise by choice. Remember that when it comes to weight loss, everything counts! Everything that you do is either adding to your weight or reducing it. You are probably in your comfort zone.

Most people trying to lose weight are in a comfort zone. They don’t want to do anything uncomfortable. They want to lose weight while going on with their lives the way it is. They want to lose weight while spending time in front of the TV. They want to lose weight while wanting to be able to overindulge in excess calories. They want their body to change but they don’t want to change!

Losing weight is going to require you to stretch out of this comfort zone. You are going to need to reorganize your schedule to include exercise as a high priority. You may have to sacrifice TV time or wake up an hour earlier in the morning. You may even have to sacrifice some family time! You will need to be wiser in food choices. Everything that you put into your mouth is going to help or hurt your weight loss efforts. You are going to have to cultivate discipline. Without discipline, you are never going to be able to be consistent with your weight loss efforts.

Cultivating all these weight loss habits is going to require effort. Its going to push you out of your comfort zone. Its going to make you uncomfortable. You are going to be forced to mentally stretch before you physically shrink. Your mind is going to have to stretch! Weight loss only occurs outside the comfort zone. Weight gain occurs in the comfort zone.

This is precisely why someone who goes for a tummy tuck or a liposuction, would probably not be able to maintain the weight loss. What habits have they cultivated that would help with weight loss. They forcibly shrunk physically without stretching mentally. This weight loss is never sustainable because its NOT Correct Weight Loss. Correct Weight Loss requires you to cultivate habits that will keep your body slim and trim for a lifetime. It is a lifestyle change.
