In this week’s WdET, we have the following exercises to keep that fat off and to help you get flat tummy fast…



[size=16pt]THE EXERCISES;[/size]

[size=20pt]17 Common Reasons You are Not Losing Weight[/size]



Have you been trying to lose weight without any or much positive result?

Or have been wondering why all your effort to lose weight has not yielded good results?


In weight loss, I have noticed that most persons take two steps forward and three steps backward. I was a victim of this when I was trying to shed off some weight…

…someday I will workout like 50minutes only to skip the next few days. And those days that I skip workout, I do end up eating all sorts of unhealthy food and drink lots of beer.


Often times, it’s hard to lose weight: Not that losing weight itself is hard, but, you have refused to stay away from some unhealthy behavior and actions. And until you stay away from these unhealthy actions, you may not lose weight nor notice that you are losing weight.


I have made a post similar to this…that’s not enough! I will keep creating more of this post until you- and I mean- ‘you’ are able to lose good amount of weight.


Do you know this?


That you may be able to lose quite a lot of weight at first, without much effort. However, weight loss may slow down or stop altogether after a while.



Below are common reasons why you are not losing weight…

You will also find tips on the necessary things to do in order to break through these obstacles and get things moving once again.



1.[size=14pt] You are not watchful of what you eat[/size]

Awareness is incredibly important if you are trying to lose weight. Many people actually don’t have a clue how much they’re really eating.

Studies show that keeping track of your diet helps with weight loss. People who use food diaries, or take pictures of their meals, consistently lose more weight than people who don’t.



2. [size=14pt]Not Realizing that you are actually losing weight[/size]

If you think you are experiencing weight loss obstacles, then you may not need to freak out yet.

It is incredibly common for the scale not to budge for a few days (or weeks) at a time. This does NOT mean that you are not losing fat. Also, it is possible to gain muscle at the same time as you lose fat. This is particularly common if you just recently started exercising.

This is a good thing, as what you really want to lose is body fat, not just weight.

It is a good idea to use something other than the scale to gauge your progress. For example, measure your waist circumference and get your body fat percentage measured once per month.

Unless your weight has been stuck at the same point for at least 1-2 weeks, then you probably don’t need to worry about anything.



3. [size=14pt]You are still eating more than required Calories[/size]

A large percentage of people who have trouble losing weight are simply eating too many calories than their body requires.

You may think, ‘this does not apply to me’, but keep in mind that studies consistently show that people tend to underestimate their calorie intake by a significant amount.

If you are not losing weight, then you should try weighing your foods and tracking your calories for a while.

Here is a helpful resource:

Calorie calculator – Use this tool to figure out how many calories to eat.

Tracking is also important if you’re trying to reach a certain nutrient goal, like getting 30% of your calories from protein. This can be impossible to achieve if you’re not tracking things properly.



4. [size=14pt]You are not eating whole foods[/size]

Food quality is just as important as quantity.

Eating healthy foods can improve your health and help regulate your appetite. These foods tend to be much more filling than their processed counterparts.

Keep in mind that many processed foods labeled as “health foods” aren’t really healthy. Stick to whole, single-ingredient foods as much as possible.



5. [size=14pt]You are Binge Eating (Even on Healthy Food[/size])

Binge eating is a common side effect of dieting. It involves rapidly eating large amounts of food, often much more than your body needs.

This is a pretty big problem for many dieters. Some of them binge on junk food, while others binge on relatively healthy foods.

Even if something is healthy, the calories still count. Depending on the volume, just a single binge can often ruin an entire week’s worth of dieting.



6. [size=14pt]You are still drinking soft, sugary and carbonated beverages[/size]

Sugary beverages are the most fattening items in the food supply. Our brains don’t compensate for the calories in them by making us eat less of other foods.

Even fruit juices are problematic, and should not be consumed in large amounts. A single glass can contain a similar amount of sugar as several pieces of whole fruit!



7. [size=14pt]You are taking less of protein[/size]

Protein is the single most important nutrient for losing weight.

Eating protein at 25-30% of calories can boost metabolism by 80-100 calories per day and make you automatically eat several hundred fewer calories per day. It can also drastically reduce cravings and desire for snacking.

If you eat breakfast, then this is the most important meal to load up on the protein. Studies show that those who eat a high-protein breakfast are less hungry and have fewer cravings throughout the day.



8. [size=14pt]You are not sleeping well[/size]

Good sleep is one of the most important things to consider for your physical and mental health, as well as your weight.

Studies show that poor sleep is one of the single biggest risk factors for obesity. Adults and children with poor sleep have a 55% and 89% greater risk of becoming obese, respectively.

Poor sleep has a way of making you to eat more.



9. [size=14pt]You are still obsessed with “dieting”[/size]

“Diets” almost never work in the long term. If anything, studies actually show that people who “diet” gain more weight over time.

Instead of approaching this from a dieting mindset, make it your primary goal to become a happier, healthier and fitter person. Focus on nourishing your body instead of depriving it, and let weight loss follow as a natural side effect.



10. You are not taking enough water

Drinking water can have benefits for weight loss.

In one 12-week weight loss study, people who drank half a liter (17 oz) of water 30 minutes before meals lost 44% more weight. Drinking water has also been shown to boost the amount of calories burned by 24-30% over a period of 1.5 hours.



11. [size=14pt]You are still eating more of carbohydrates[/size]

If you have a lot of weight to lose, and/or if you have metabolic problems like type 2 diabetes or pre-diabetes, then you may want to consider a low-carb diet.

In short-term studies, this type of diet has been shown to cause up to 2-3 times as much weight loss as the standard “low-fat” diet that is often recommended.

Low-carb diets can also lead to improvements in many metabolic markers, such as triglycerides, HDL cholesterol and blood sugar, to name a few.



12. You are not eating mindfully


13. You are drinking more alcohol than your body requires


14. You have a medical condition that is making things harder


15. You are still addicted to junk food


16. Your expectations/goals are unrealistic


17. You are not doing cardio exercises

[size=18pt]7 Proven Ways I Used to Set my Weight Loss on Autopilot (Without Bothering Yourself About Counting Calories)[/size]

Different foods affect hunger and hormones in different ways. And all calories are NOT equal.

The truth is… there are many things you can do to lose weight, without ever counting a single calorie.

Here are 7 proven ways to put fat loss on “autopilot.”


1. Using smaller plates can make you think that you are actually eating more

The human brain is the most complex object in the universe. It tends to work in mysterious ways… and the control of eating behavior is incredibly complicated.

It is the brain that ultimately determines whether we should or should not eat.

Interestingly, there is one neat thing you can do to “trick” your brain into thinking that it has eaten more food.

This is using smaller plates.

The larger your plates or bowls, the less your brain thinks you have eaten. By using smaller plates, you trick your brain into feeling more satisfied with fewer calories.

It sounds weird right?… but why not give it a trial.

2. Eating low energy density foods and lots of fiber makes you feel more full with fewer calories

Another way to feel more satisfied with fewer calories is to eat foods that have a low energy density. This includes foods that have a high water content, such as vegetables and some fruits.

Studies consistently show that dieters who eat less energy dense foods lose more weight than those who eat foods with a high energy density.

In one study, women who ate soup (low energy density) lost 50% more weight than women who ate an energy dense snack.

Vegetables are also rich in soluble fiber, which has been shown to cause weight loss in some studies.

Another benefit of soluble fiber is that it gets broken down by bacteria in the digestive tract to produce a fatty acid called butyrate, which is believed to have significant anti-obesity effect.

Combining animals (high in protein) with a bunch of plants (low energy density) is a recipe for success.



3. Replacing cooking fats/oil with coconut oil boost metabolism and cuts down appetite

Coconut oil has some unique properties that can help reduce appetite and increase fat burning. It is loaded with fats called Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs).

These fatty acids get metabolized differently compared to other fats… they go straight to the liver where they are either used for energy or turned into ketone bodies.

This doesn’t mean that your normal cooking oil is bad or that you should stop using them. Hence, if you can reach coconut oil, do replace your cooking oil with it.

Two small studies show that eating these medium chain fats can make people eat fewer calories, one of them showing a reduction of 256 calories per day.

Consuming 30 mL (about 1 ounce) of coconut oil may cause significant reductions in BMI and waist circumference, a marker for abdominal fat.

Now… I’m not suggesting that you gobble down massive amounts of coconut oil, but replacing your current cooking fats with it could have a noticeable effect.
But, if you can’t access coconut oil, no problems. Continue with your normal cooking oil. However, do reduce the quantity you use…because you don’t really need all those fat in your system!


4. Fit in protein into your breakfast especially eggs

Losing weight can be as simple as changing your breakfast. Two separate studies have shown that eating eggs in the morning can help you lose fat without trying.

Another awesome benefit of eating eggs is that they are among the healthiest foods in the world. New studies show that they do NOT raise your bad cholesterol or give you heart disease, like previously believed.

If you think you don’t have time to cook a healthy breakfast, think again. Preparing a breakfast with some eggs and veggies doesn’t have to take any longer than 5-10 minutes.

Just set your alarm clock a few minutes earlier… problem solved.


5. Eating more protein can reduce appetite and increase fat burning

There is a lot of evidence that protein can increase fat burning and reduce hunger, leading to automatic weight loss.

In fact, studies show that protein boosts metabolism more than any other macronutrient.

One of the reasons for that is that it takes the body more calories to digest and make use of protein...

Hi, I know this thread was last active 2nd Feb but I still felt the need to post what helped me lose 14kg over 4months just like I posted on the ttc thread. it's called the Egg Fast Diet and did it for 10days each each and the days am not doing it I eat a Low Carb, High Fat, High Protein Diet. NO PURCHASE of any slimming product required, NO EXERCISE required so don't force yourself of you cant.

EGG FAST DIET DETAILS (Copied from the Facebook Group with some editions and
insertions of what I did)

*INSTRUCTIONS: READ THIS FIRST (this was created by Jimmy Moore, a 289 lb /
135.45kg man, so adjust it to suit yourself).
He called this his "egg fest" and yes we call it an egg fast because we are fasting from
other food groups...



...Eggs can be eaten in various yummy forms and yes only eggs is what you'll be eating. You won't feel hungry at all cos Protein is filling but just in case you do, just eat more eggs as there's no maximum you can eat in a day. When I started 1st & 2nd day, I ate 12 eggs. It's safe and no cholesterol issues I did a before and after lab test and even had better after results. Besides you won't be doing this permanently, once you drop of the weigh, you start healthy eating and exercising which will keep of the weight lost and may even help you lose more. Feel feel to ask me any questions. Am here to support.

This is a nice formula...Some of my clients have used something similar(though, not exactly this) to achieve positive weight loss.

I will add the following to the above weight loss program...

--Let your breakfast be more of proteins
--Then be consistent...I tell you from experience, you may not start to see quick weight loss immediately, but something good is going on within!
--Also, give the program 60-days if you really want to stay true to yourself. You don't want to deceive yourself by expecting to drop 7kg in one or two weeks.

He called this his "egg fest" and yes we call it an egg fast because we are fasting from
other food groups.

1. Must eat eggs as the primary source of fat and protein. (no meat just egg)
2. 1 tablespoon of butter (Real Butter Squares found in Supermarket Fridges) or
Mayonnaise or Coconut Oil or Olive Oil to be taken per Egg consumed.
3. I must eat an egg no later than 30 minutes after waking (NOT COMPULSORY)
4. The egg meals ideally should be eaten every 3 hours, but not more than every 5
hours. (NOT COMPULSORY) Eat when you feel like it.
5. I will follow this schedule even if I'm not hungry, however I'll only have 1 egg when
that happens. (NOT COMPULSORY)
6. Cheese will be permitted up to one ounce per egg. (real cheese only). (NOT
ADVISABLE TO EAT CHEESES, can cause stall or weight gain in a some people)
7. A minimum of a half-dozen eggs must be consumed daily. This means 6eggs
Minimum and No Maximum.
8. The eggs will be local pastured eggs loaded with healthy omega-3 fats and vitamin
D. (this was his personal preference) (NOT COMPULSORY, ANY CHICKEN EGG IS FINE)
9. Egg consumption will cease three hours before bedtime. (NOT COMPULSORY, EAT
IF YOU'RE HUNGRY)
10. Diet soda (Diet Coke, Diet Pepsi, Diet Seven Up, LaCasera Soda, Sans Cream Soda,
H2O etc) will be allowed up to 3 cans daily with a goal of 1 or less. (Don't drink this
daily if you can)
*there is not a maximum amount of eggs to eat in a day however like anything just use
common sense and adapt to your own needs.
11. Drink your water... 6-8 glasses a day minimum.
12. Keep up your salt and vitamins/supplements including magnesium & potassium. (I
wasn't on any multivitamin when I did mine sha, so just continue with your ttc
multivitamin)
** We add BPC and mayo to the list here as we are high fat low carbers here.
This may be difficult if you are not already used to eating high fat diets.
You should be fat adapted before you start. Which means you should already be
following a LCHF (Low Carb, High Fat diet) long before attempting the egg fast. (NOT
COMPULSORY, I jumped in from our regular 9ja eating)
Do not add vegetables or meat until you are done your fasting period. Fasting period is
a minimum of 3 days. 5 days to make it worth while. You can do this for as long as
1month just like Jimmy Moore the Originator. I did mine for 10 days at each time I Egg
Fasted).
Many of us are doing 5 days fasting 2 days regular LCHF.
For example, avocados and nuts have carbs. We do NOT add them in the fasting
days. We do NOT use bacon fat in place of butter. Bacon has added preservatives,
sugars, nitrites/nitrates etc. and it all ends up in the fat. Keep that for your regular
LCHF diet but not when fasting.
Please do not be afraid to ask legitimate questions though.
Some folks drink BPC in the morning instead of eating eggs first and that's okay. It is
all about what you can stomach in the morning and that's ok to adapt for yourself.

BPC is bullet proof coffee. You can google it. It is adding 1-2 TBS of butter and or
coconut oil with or without a raw egg to your coffee in a blender. Some people choose
BPT (tea). I tried the BPC with one raw egg and its so creamy yummy you won't smell
of taste the Egg,won't even realise an egg was in it. I used decaff coffee sha due to
ttc things.
Cream cheese pancakes: 2 eggs, 2 oz cream cheese, cinnamon and sweetener to
taste. Blend in blender such as a magic bullet. Fry in coconut oil. Top with butter. I
make a simple syrup by melting xylitol with butter and maple flavor.
HWC is heavy whipping cream: not a part of the egg fast
WOE is way of eating
BPC is bullet proof coffee
BPT is bullet proof tea
Facebook support group is : Egg Fast Diet - Stall = Breaker ( diet ).

Eggs can be eaten in various yummy forms and yes only eggs is what you'll be eating.

[size=24pt]“10 Things I Did To Lose 160 Pounds Without Ever Dieting”[/size]


A wise young employee once told me, “In life, my greatest misfortunes have always led to fortunes.” When I was 340 pounds, at age 25, if you had told me that being obese for my entire life was actually the best thing that ever happened to me, I would have laughed in your face…

…these were the words of Joe, a young man who was overweight months ago.

I decided to share this story with you all, as a way to motivate you. And to let you know that, no matter what your weight is today. It’s still 100% possible to achieve you desired weight and look.

I felt is high time I gave a testimony from someone that was once struggling with his weight. Most probably, the way you struggle with yours right now…

…I was chatting with one of my client who was complaining to me that she needs to drop off some weight real fast, say-the next 2 weeks. This rush to lose weight was for what?

She had a wedding to attend and she was among the aso-ebis. And the gown is going to be “hand-less” or whatever is called.

The truth is that she may not be able to lose such amount of weight in 2 weeks…and if she definitely succeed in losing the weight within 2 weeks, she would have to pay so much, and the weight loss would only be temporal.

At the end of the day, she was unable to lose the weight within 2 weeks. She had to re-design her aso-ebi gown. And after the wedding, she committed fully to losing weight which after 2months turned out positive…

…Why this story?

Is just to remind you that weight loss is meant to be a lifestyle which you have to maintain…if not, you may keep finding yourself in situations, as this lady who needed to lose weight desperately because she had to wear a hand-less gown.

Back to our testimony from Joe;

He was able to lose such a huge amount of weight not because he had this blazers to wear to a friend’s wedding, but because, he made weight loss a lifestyle…

…he started through integrating vital weight loss ideas into his daily activities. Hence, he was able to achieve his desired weight and look. Thus, he can wear whatever blazers he wishes to wear-anytime, anyday!

Joe continues with his story…

Now, having dropped 160 pounds and transformed my body and mind in countless ways, I know that to be the truth. Being obese and eventually overcoming this tremendous life challenge has led me to consciously create a life that is awake, alive, inspired, joyful, and empowered.

From the age of 8, I’d been on and off as many diets as I could count. When I was 25 years old, I finally got physical, after avoiding doctor’s offices for my entire 20s due to my weight. I hopped on the scale, assuming I was around 300 pounds, and saw 340 pounds. I knew it was time to do something.

It took me years to lose the full 160 pounds, with most of the weight coming off in a four-year span between 2009 and 2013. I never did “diets” and I didn’t initially set a weight goal. I simply kept finding ways to live a healthier, more conscious life and doing experiments to see what made me feel good and what didn’t.

Here are the top 10 factors that led to the dramatic change:

1. I stopped drinking calories.

My journey started with a choice to drop the soda, juice, and sweetened teas. At my biggest, I estimate I was drinking more than 2,000 calories a day. I first switched to diet drinks. Eventually, I dropped sweetened beverages outright. And in just three months, I lost 50 pounds!

2. I prepared lunches for work.

I used to buy lunch at work daily without thinking twice about cost or the health impact. I soon learned that you can eat amazingly for less money than you’ll spend buying lunch at work.

One trick is to make large batches of delicious food to take to work. I also love to prep lots of veggies chopped and in containers for the week — that way, throwing a hearty salad together happens in seconds. Don’t skimp on protein or healthy fat. You’ll save calories and money and you’ll have ultimate control over what goes in your body.

3. I shortened my commute.

One of the biggest challenges to getting healthy is the time you lose and the stress you endure keeping a long commute in your routine. You might think your commute is impossible to change, but I promise there’s a way. I worked hard in my retail career to get transferred to a store that was within minutes of my home and eventually started my own coaching practice so I could work from home.

You’ll be far less stressed, and you’ll gain lots of time to cook and exercise.

4. I learned to cook.

Many of us are overweight because we are eating too much processed foods and restaurant foods. We all know how challenging it is to lose weight while eating this way.

The good news is that there are so many amazing food-related shows today, and between picking up skills watching mouthwatering programs and using Internet recipes, we can all be fabulous chefs. I also joined a community-shared agriculture (CSA) program, which forced me to learn to cook veggies I’d never even heard of before.

Over the years, cooking has become a process of stress reduction, meditation, nourishment, and joy for me.

5. I understood the value of real food.

While I was losing weight, I began to learn about the industrial food system, mostly through food, environmental, and animal-welfare-related documentaries. This inspired me to understand my options for local, fresh, amazing produce, meats, and cheeses. My world transformed, my taste buds repaired,

Nice post there!

However, this is a more organized and readable version of what 'Turner20' wants to pass across.

Stretch marks is now turning into an everyday topic. Because, in one way or another each and everyone of us is involved. If you have been pregnant, added few weight or have been a regular weight lifter. You have high tendency of seeing stretch marks at one part of your body or the other.

Just know that these stretch marks are curable-and I mean totally removed from your skin. But not without patient and commitment. Many of us do prefer some fast action through using drugs, creams, supplements and expensive surgeries. Honestly, these quick fix methods does not come without side effects. If you calmly look closely around you, you will see the side-effects of stretch mark quick-fix-methods on one or two persons.

This is not them-say matter...if you have seen, I have seen tragic health/skin side-effects of quick-fix(especially in stretch marks removal and weight loss).

However, my advice is to use "NATURAL METHODS"! Natural methods are better and safe. But you have to give it say 2-5months.

I will like to chip in extra natural methods to help you totally remove stretch marks from your skin. One of the reasons why it may take a little more time to get rid of stretch marks is because it occurs on Dermis (the middle layer of the skin). Thus, as a result of when the connective tissue is stretched due to the expansion and contraction of skin or due to penetration of small fat particles into the connective tissue.

With the stretch in skin, the collagen gets weak, and the elastin fibres start tearing. Due to this, its normal production cycle gets damaged or interrupted.

This results in the formation of fine scars under the epidermis or the top layer of the skin. Initially, they appear red or pink, but gradually, they turned into thin silvery line and are called Stretch marks (cellulite).

Stretch marks can make you feel self-conscious and uncomfortable about your appearance. Fortunately, below are several extra ways to get ride of those your annoying stretch marks.

-Castor Oil
-Aloe Vera
-Lemon juice
-Sugar
-Potato Juice
-Water
-Olive oil
-Cocoa butter
-Egg white
-Alfalfa leaves
-Physical exercises

If you had tried any of the above and it failed to work for you; one of these could be your problem. Either, you didn't do it well or you lacked commitment and patience.

Give these methods a trial and share your testimony with others...


1. Castor Oil

Castor oil, which is used in the treatment of a number of skin problems such as wrinkles, age spots, moles, dark spots, fine lines and pimples, can also be used to get rid of stretch marks.

Apply some castor oil to the stretch marks and gently massage the area in circular motions for 5 to 10 minutes.
Wrap the area with a thin, cotton cloth. Using a hot water bottle or a heating pad, apply some heat to the affected area for at least a half an hour.
Repeat this process daily for a minimum of one month to notice positive results.

2. Aloe Vera

Aloe vera is effective in the treatment of many skin problems. Its healing and soothing properties can be used to get rid of stretch marks. There are a couple of ways to apply it.

You can directly rub aloe vera gel on the affected skin area, leave it on for 15 minutes and then rinse the skin with lukewarm water.
Another option is to make a mixture with one-fourth cup of aloe vera gel, oil from 10 vitamin E capsules and oil from 5 vitamin A capsules. Rub this mixture onto the skin until fully absorbed. Repeat this process daily.

3. Lemon Juice

Another simple way to lessen stretch marks is to use lemon juice. Lemon juice is naturally acidic which helps heal and reduce stretch marks, acne, and other scars.

Rub fresh lemon juice gently onto the stretch marks using circular motions. Allow the lemon juice to soak into your skin for at least 10 minutes before rinsing it off with warm water.
Another option is to mix equal quantities of cucumber juice and lemon juice and apply the mixture on the stretch marks.

4. Sugar

Natural white sugar is one of the best natural remedies to get rid of stretch marks. You can use the sugar to exfoliate your skin.

Mix a tablespoon of raw sugar with some almond oil and a few drops of lemon juice. Mix it well and apply it on the stretch marks and other skin areas.
Gently rub the mixture on the skin for a few minutes every day before taking a shower.
Do this for a month or so and watch your stretch marks become lighter.

Thus, as a result of when the connective tissue is stretched due to the expansion and contraction of skin or due to penetration of small fat particles into the connective tissue.

With the stretch in skin, the collagen gets weak, and the elastin fibres start tearing. Due to this, its normal production cycle gets damaged or interrupted.

This results in the formation of fine scars under the epidermis or the top layer of the skin. Initially, they appear red or pink, but gradually, they turned into thin silvery line and are called Stretch marks (cellulite).

Stretch marks can make you feel self-conscious and uncomfortable about your appearance. Fortunately, below are several extra ways to get ride of those your annoying stretch marks.

-Castor Oil
-Aloe Vera
-Lemon juice
-Sugar
-Potato Juice
-Water
-Olive oil
-Cocoa butter
-Egg white
-Alfalfa leaves
-Physical exercises

If you had tried any of the above and it failed to work for you; one of these could be your problem. Either, you didn't do it well or you lacked commitment and patience.

Give these methods a trial and share your testimony with others...


1. Castor Oil

Castor oil, which is used in the treatment of a number of skin problems such as wrinkles, age spots, moles, dark spots, fine lines and pimples, can also be used to get rid of stretch marks.

Apply some castor oil to the stretch marks and gently massage the area in circular motions for 5 to 10 minutes.
Wrap the area with a thin, cotton cloth. Using a hot water bottle or a heating pad, apply some heat to the affected area for at least a half an hour.
Repeat this process daily for a minimum of one month to notice positive results.

2. Aloe Vera

Aloe vera is effective in the treatment of many skin problems. Its healing and soothing properties can be used to get rid of stretch marks. There are a couple of ways to apply it.

You can directly rub aloe vera gel on the affected skin area, leave it on for 15 minutes and then rinse the skin with lukewarm water.
Another option is to make a mixture with one-fourth cup of aloe vera gel, oil from 10 vitamin E capsules and oil from 5 vitamin A capsules. Rub this mixture onto the skin until fully absorbed. Repeat this process daily.

3. Lemon Juice

Another simple way to lessen stretch marks is to use lemon juice. Lemon juice is naturally acidic which helps heal and reduce stretch marks, acne, and other scars.

Rub fresh lemon juice gently onto the stretch marks using circular motions. Allow the lemon juice to soak into your skin for at least 10 minutes before rinsing it off with warm water.
Another option is to mix equal quantities of cucumber juice and lemon juice and apply the mixture on the stretch marks.

4. Sugar

Natural white sugar is one of the best natural remedies to get rid of stretch marks. You can use the sugar to exfoliate your skin.

Mix a tablespoon of raw sugar with some almond oil and a few drops of lemon juice. Mix it well and apply it on the stretch marks and other skin areas.
Gently rub the mixture on the skin for a few minutes every day before taking a shower.
Do this for a month or so and watch your stretch marks become lighter.

[size=16pt]That One Exercise That Fastens Your Weight Loss Process Beyond Your Imagination[/size]



It's that time of year again, the time of the year when many people are already falling short of their resolutions to lose weight. This year is still very fresh and you can still succeed.

Don't worry if you haven't met your goals so far, every day is a new beginning. There is a lot of weight loss advice floating around and some of the tips are good, while others are not so much good.

Let me remind you once again;

One way to make sure that you don't get overwhelmed is to set small, easily achievable goals. When you approach your weight loss as a non-quick-fix process, a lifestyle change, then you will greatly increase your chances of success.

The mistake most of us make, especially the women, is this;

KEEPING READING...

Are you among those that always complain about their 8-5 job schedule?
Or have your busy work schedule denied you of achieving you weight loss goal repeatedly?
...Just know that you are not the only person in that situation. I once found myself in such situation like yours. Initially, losing weight with such schedule was not workable...
...but how did I succeed?
I just changed my strategy and Voila! I found myself losing weight
Of course, the strategy is here with you! Relax, it's just few words away.

But, did this strategy work for others with busy work schedule...Or was it for myself alone?

I won't say “Yes” or “No”...Because Tina's story will tell us better. After the story, you will decide whether to use the strategy or not...But for now, let's get the story...

This is what Tina has to say about the strategy....

“When I decided to lose weight, I worked full-time in an office where I sat at a desk for 40 hours each week. I also worked part-time at a health club and took evening classes to complete my Master's degree. Monday through Thursday, I'd leave my house at 5am and not return until after 10 at night.
Obviously, my schedule was a challenge, but I knew if I started to make excuses, I'd never lose the weight, so I toughened up and created a fail-proof plan that helped me drop more than 20 pounds.

...Here's what helped me, and how it can work for you too.

1. Schedule your workouts
When I worked in an office, I used daily planner that kept me organized with all aspects of my life—from projects and school deadlines to grocery lists and social events. I wrote down everything, including my workouts. On Sunday afternoons I'd spend some time scheduling my workouts for the week, just like I would with other obligations.

I'd also pick a couple of group exercise classes at my gym and schedule them like appointments that I could not miss. Seeing my work week all laid out with plenty of time for exercise helped me to stick to my plan.

2. Become a morning exerciser
Late meetings, evening events, happy hour with colleagues—so many things got in the way of my evening workouts, so I became a morning exerciser. Working out first thing in the morning guaranteed that I fit it in before my day got carried away and excuses popped up.

Even though I'm naturally a morning person, becoming a morning exerciser was no easy task! The first few mornings were really hard, but the more I forced myself to do it, the easier it was and eventually it became a regular part of my routine.

3. Track calories
In the past, I halfheartedly kept a paper-and-pen food journal, but it was time-consuming and inconvenient to calculate all of those calories, so hundreds of them often went unaccounted for each day. So when a friend told me about a free online weight-loss journal that tracks calories, exercise, goals, and progress, I knew it would make keeping food journal simpler.

Filling out my serving estimates online helped me realize that I underestimated portion sizes. Even though I was eating mostly nutritious foods, I was serving myself too much, so I began using measuring cups at home to learn how to identify a healthy serving.

4. Plan (and pack) your lunch
Every Sunday I sat down and planned a week’s worth of quick, travel-friendly lunches. Brown-bagging what I ate during the day meant I had more control over how many calories I consumed. Lunch could be leftovers from the previous night's dinner or a turkey sandwich on whole wheat bread with veggies and honey mustard.

Planning lunch ahead of time helped me stick with healthy options instead of buying mouth-watering snacks and greasy slices of pizzas. Plus, once I bought the food and had it readily available in my kitchen, I had no excuse for not packing a nutritious lunch.

5. Leave healthy foods visible
Instead of hitting up the vending machine or fast-food restaurant for an afternoon snack, I bought five pieces of fresh fruit each week and displayed them on my desk on Monday morning. Whenever I wanted a snack, it was the first thing I saw, so I was able to keep my munchies light and nutritious. I also hated to see fresh food go to waste, so I never let a day go by without eating a piece, which helped keep my hunger steady so I didn't overeat later in the day.

6. Make gym visits convenient
If getting to the gym was difficult or interfered with my work schedule, I knew I'd never go, so I joined a gym close to work. I could go in before work, during my lunch break, or after I got off. The sight of other exercisers motivated me to get my butt in gear.

I made my exercise routine even more convenient by renting a locker at the gym. Having everything that I needed for a workout already at the gym kept me from making excuses and helped me stick to an almost-daily sweat schedule.

7. Plan workout dates with others
To switch things up with my workouts, I often asked my co-workers if they wanted to go for a run at weekends or on day-offs. Having a fitness buddy to rely on really helped me get in a groove with my workouts and kept me motivated. Plus, exercising in a new way with someone else kept my workouts fun and exciting!

8. Abide by a one-drink rule
I created the one-drink rule for when I went out after work with co-workers. Happy hour was what got me in trouble with my weight in the first place (hello, beer and sugary drinks), so I knew I needed to treat these outings differently if I wanted to fit into my clothes again. (I also didn't want to be the girl on a diet sipping water!)

My new go-to drink was white wine because I knew I'd savor and sip it slowly. Choosing the drink that took me the longest to consume saved me calories because I passed on a second round, and usually at that point most people were heading home.

9. Fit in a weekend workout
If I missed a workout during the work week, I made up for it by exercising on Saturday morning. Of course, I'd preferred to sleep in on the weekend, but my morning workout always started my weekend off on the right foot. Instead of snoozing the day away, I seized it, which felt great knowing that I could enjoy the rest of my weekend stress-free!”

The Seven Truth of Successful Weight Loss: What You Need to Know

Most part of my years as a fitness trainer and weight loss manager, I noticed that most of my clients always needed a fast action approach and mechanisms.

Funny enough, some will be like:- “I have a wedding, photo shoot or this movie that I am part of. It's next week and I need to drop off some-say 11-13kg”. And I am always like:- “Did you ever accumulate that weight just in one week? Why are you so eager to drop it off such fast?”

What am I trying to say?

Our attitude towards losing weight is very unrealistic. Some want to just drop the weight as if is their handbag/ wallet. And, people with such attitude towards weight loss end up picking up extra few weight, even after a successful fast action weight loss program.

Happy New Year!!

I am in too...Correct Info on how to lose/maintain weight is highly sorted out for.

==My opinion on weighing oneself everyday is this:

a) If it works for you,good and fine, keep it up

b) I prefer weekly checking of weight, because it saves you stress and tension of probably not shedding of weight the way you wanted.
The act of weight loss is for two purposes;-To aid you shed of weight and -To help you cultivate the right attitude that will help you to maintain your desired weight after weight loss.

So, whatever could make you to stop adding extra weight, start it off immediately.

[size=14pt]Low Carb Foods And How it Fastens Weight Loss.[/size]

Hey ladies and gentlemen,

Hope you all are having good time with the merriment of the holiday!

For me, it has been all fun for myself and my family here…lots of visits, things to eat and things to drink.

Oh! I am almost getting carried away with the Christmas story, Let me match straight to our “ LOW CARB FOODS AND HOW IT FASTENS WEIGHT LOSS”.

I will begin with the meaning of Low carb foods.

Nowadays, social network and other factors are bringing up abbreviation of many terminologies.

“Low carb foods” simply means;

Those foods/diets which have “Low carbohydrate” contents. (Carb for Carbohydrate).

How does low carb foods work in our body?

Any food substance you take into your body is used for energy. Either energy for now( kinetic energy) or energy that is saved for later(potential energy). The “potential energy” that is saved for later, is stored as glycogen in the liver and skeletal muscle cells; while the primary energy is stored as fats held in the adipose tissues.

And when you fail to use up the primary energy, that is the point you start to accumulated fat…and you know the rest of the story.

So, if you eat a diet high in carbs(carbohydrate), your body will choose to burn the carbs and most definitely will not be able to finish the energy released from the high carb diets. Thus, leading to the storage of the remnant energy as fat in the adipose tissues.

But when you eat a diet that is low in carbs, the body will not get enough of the kinetic energy needed. Hence, the body has no other choice but to use what is left, which is the fat stored previously in those arms, thunder thighs and of course, lets not forget that bubble butt.

What am I really saying?

Eat Low carbs food/diet! In doing so, you give your body chance to use those excess energy (fat) stores in your body.

Guess what?

Once you start eating low carbs diets, you start getting amazing results of weight loss.

Already, you must be asking for examples of these low carb foods…

Very well, I am going to give you some of them. But know it that low carb foods are not just limited only with what I have here.

The low carb foods include the following among others

Do you add weight, yet after a weight loss program?

With the many weight loss patterns, programs and methods all over the place, we all still get stuck in this:

And what is that?--Not far-fetched anyway.

Is nothing but, “going back to our old weight after achieving a temporary weight loss. Yeah! I call it temporary because the new desired weight/look fails to last. And the goal of every overweight person is to “shed of weight and maintain the new desired look”. This goal is even harder to achieve than “shedding off weight” itself.

Below, you will see what to do in order to keep off that weight after you have lost it. Because, I believe in dealing with how to “keep off the lost weight permanently”, than instantaneously losing weight at intervals. (Do not mind the grammar):-

With the above gotten, we can now talk about “how to lose the weight”.

Relax! And do not shoot me with the ONE-MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION.

...Having asked the question severally in your mind,the answer is simple:

….............ATTITUDE===The Answer...............


Below are some of the attitude to adopt so as not to fall back to your old weight...

Read this:

Exercise/dieting has always been a norm and you are always “on your own” when it comes to that. However, it is vital you create motivations. If you say it does not work,re-examine yourself.

If you can remember in the past 25 to 45years ago; yeah, some of us were not there,anyway,but physical activity has become the exception rather than the rule, both at home and on the job. Trek-able distances are now covered with rides...and you know the rest of the story.

See what an expert said below; about ATTITUDE on weight loss


“The point here is that health experts believe that people lose their way, especially when it comes to dieting. They tend to go back to their old eating habits even after they learn to enjoy low-fat eating. They tend to return to sedentary ways even though they enjoy exercising”.

Back to the ANSWER (ATTITUDE).

For you to develop the attitude to help you keep and maintain your desired weight, you need to stay with the basics below:

1. Be explicit with your goal.

2. Develop a strategy.

3.Work out little and calculable progress.

4.Always check mate with important effect on your goals.

5.Assign time.

...Hope someone can get started with the ATTITUDE.

NB: I will be bringing to you other factors that will aid you to “permanently keep the lost weight off”.
