Weight Loss

Health and Wellness - weight loss goals

Are you ashamed of your weight? Do you have a goal that you want to achieve through weight loss? I’d say so, it’s been pushed into our brains many times over and over again that "weight loss" is what we want to accomplish. There are weight loss guides, weight loss supplements, and many other things that push weight loss. Many people even set their goals to be at a certain weight. Additionally, the medical community has developed an deal weight chart, which can further add to the confusion about weight loss.

Now, let me ask you a question. Is your goal really weight loss? Unless you are trying to make a weight class for wrestling or some other sport with weight classes, you may think that your goal is weight loss, but it really isn’t. You are trying to lose that blubbery stuff attached to your body called FAT. Correct?

So then, why do we measure our progress by how much we weigh? Why do we step on the bathroom scale and hope that those numbers will be lower than before? You see, our weight is affected by more than just how much fat is on our body. Some other factors include water, muscle, glycogen, and obviously if we have eaten anything earlier or used the bathroom lately.

Our water weight fluctuates constantly. For instance, when we exhale water vapor comes out. When we sweat, we are sweating out water. There are also many more factors that can affect the amount of water in our body. Water is what usually causes those random gains or losses of a pound or two in weight that can make you happy or sad. It is almost physiologically impossible to lose a pound of fat in one day.

Fighting Inflammation

When most people hear the word 'inflammation' they think of the swelling and redness that accompanies an injury such as a sprained ankle. However, inflammation can also be systemic and caused not by injury but by lack of exercise and a poor diet. Systemic inflammation increases the risk of cancer, hypertension, heart disease, gastrointestinal problems, and many other health conditions.

In fact, many anti-aging professionals believe that inflammation is the greatest cause of premature aging, so preventing it is also vital for looking young. Taking on an exercise program is one key to decreasing systemic inflammation, and the other key is to consume a diet that does not promote inflammation.

Arthritis, another form of inflammation, is a chronic disease, which means that you can't completely escape from it by using only medication and other traditional treatments. However, there are some home remedies for arthritis that are considered excellent alternatives because they safe to use, and quite effective.

Inflammation of a joint, or its surrounding tissues, accompanied by pain, soreness, and inflexibility in that area is more than likely a result of causes ranging from infection, distress, degenerative changes or metabolic disorders.

Arthritis has many causes, however, genetics is one of the main causes. When it's in the genes, it's possible to experience problems even at a young age. It's considered hereditary when cartilage, joints, tendons, or muscles are weak and brittle right from birth.

Exercise is an essential means of managing arthritis. Exercise can help reduce joint pain and stiffness, and at the same time can help build strong muscles around the joints, and help to increase flexibility and endurance. Exercise can also give you more energy, can help you sleep better, can help you control your weight, and more importantly, it can make you feel better.

Exercise, diet, and proper supplements can go a long way in providing relief from arthritis and many other forms of inflammation. Eating healthy foods like fresh fruits, vegetables, and fish, especially ones high in omega-3 essential fatty acids, are loaded with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

Eating all natural foods and giving up preservatives and additives can actually prevent future arthritis flare-ups, and help to relieve inflammation. The best medicine for inflammation and arthritis is prevention.

Weight Loss

Health and Wellness - Important weight loss tips

Most diet and weight loss programs have a depressingly high failure rate, with people either never reaching their weight goals or reaching them and regaining all the weight they lost (and sometimes more) in about one year.

Getting the weight off fast is so desirable that many of us are willing to sacrifice health and ignore common sense in the hope that some new weight loss program or scheme will work. This pipe dream can unfortunately outweigh the negative consequences. So let’s examine the downside of dieting.

What Is An Unhealthy Weight Loss Program?

• Any weight loss program that is not nutritionally sound;
• One that works against what the body naturally needs like vitamins, minerals, and a minimum number of calories a day;
• One that requires you to go without eating (for example, fasting or meal replacement drinks);
• One that puts your body into an unnatural state, such as starvation or ketosis.

Your body can only lose a few pounds a week on a consistent basis. If you lose more than that initially, it’s likely just water loss. So any weight loss program that promises you will lose five pounds a week, or 25 pounds in 3 weeks, is guaranteeing you will be losing water and muscle mass not fat.

Almost every popular weight loss program out there falls into one of the following diet categories: low calorie diets, meal replacement drinks, packaged foods, unbalanced nutrients, and ketosis diets. Let’s see how they stack up.

LOW CALORIE DIETS

Whenever you drastically reduce your calories, the body enters an unnatural state and its defenses kick in. So when calories drop below, say, 1000 calories a day, your metabolism will shut down in an effort to conserve energy. And weight loss with a sluggish metabolism is very difficult.

Your body will start using muscle tissue to provide energy, which again leads to a decrease in the metabolism. Taken to an extreme, the body will break down its vital parts (such as the heart muscle) trying to meet its energy needs.

In addition to these drawbacks, trying to maintain the weight loss over time is nearly impossible because your body is now used to making do with very few calories. Going back to “normal” eating causes the weight to pile back on.

For this reason, low cal weight loss programs rarely work over the long haul.

MEAL REPLACEMENT DRINKS

One of the most unnatural things for your body is to go without solid food, which is what meal replacement plans ask it to do. Some people think that dieting will be easier if they aren’t confronted with daily food choices and the pounds will just fall off. This may be true while they are on the liquid diet. But what about afterwards?

Where will the good eating habits come from after you’ve lost the weight? This is something that takes time, practice and knowledge. Dieters need to establish a healthy attitude towards a life-long eating plan. And no “fad” weight loss program or liquid lunch can help you with that.

Getting hooked on meal replacements can become a destructive way to view food. It often leads dieters to fear food or binge to “feed” their cravings after a long period of deprivation. And that’s just the psychological side of the equation.

The lack of fiber in such weight loss programs can be a threat to good physical health. And when the body is denied enough solid food, the intestines go into overdrive absorbing calories and nutrients. This helps you during the diet period, but later it makes it much easier to regain the weight.

Another yo-yo weight loss program that hurts you in the end.

UNBALANCED NUTRIENT PLAN

Be cautious about any weight loss program that has strict rules about good foods and bad foods. Sure, high fat and high sugar foods might be considered bad for the waistline, but moderation not abstinence is key to success.

Why? Because eating the same foods every day (say, grapefruit or high protein meals) is going to result in two things: nutritional imbalance and boredom.

All foods are made up of the same nutrients in different amounts: fat, carbohydrates, and protein. It is the right proportion of these nutrients that will bring about weight loss – not the avoidance of “bad” foods and the consumption of only “good” or magical foods.

In the world of dieting, no one food or nutrient group is magical. Variety and moderation are the keys to a healthy diet and a successful weight loss program.

PACKAGED FOODS To maintain your ideal body weight, you have to learn how to make proper food choices. By following a packaged food weight loss program you are postponing the inevitable, and spending plenty of $$$ in the process.

Another problem with this kind of weight loss program is that the foods provided are not always healthy. Read the package label and you will see chemicals, preservatives, sodium, sugar and saturated fats. And when all you can eat is packaged food, how do you plan meals with other people? Going out to restaurants and parties and enjoying family meals becomes a big hassle.

Your weight loss program then becomes a burden, not only to you, but to those around you.

KETOSIS DIETS

Ketosis has been defined as:

“An abnormal condition marked by excessive production of ketone bodies. Often caused by high-protein, low-carbohydrate diets such as the Atkins diet.”

Atkins and certain other weight loss programs are based on the principle of restricting carbohydrates to the point that the body enters into ketosis. On the surface, a ketogenic diet seems to work for two reasons: First, you’ll lose large amounts of weight, which is very pleasing to the dieter. Secondly, you don’t experience hunger.

But there are serious drawbacks. Your weight goes down due to water loss (which occurs when you restrict carbohydrates) and a loss of lean muscle tissue. This is NOT true, lasting weight loss.

The loss of appetite comes from having ketones building up in the body, which can harm your health. Side effects of a ketosis weight loss program can include fatigue, kidney stones, gout, and muscle loss. The longer you follow such a diet, the greater the risk to your health.

Clearly not a wise choice of weight loss program, not for the short term or the long.

WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM QUESTIONNAIRE

There are always new weight loss programs coming onto the market and going in and out of style. To evaluate if a weight loss program is healthy and sensible for you, ask yourself the following questions:

• Is the plan nutritionally sound?
• Will it help improve my weight, metabolism, cholesterol level, blood pressure, energy level, and general health?
• Will I be eating real food and not have to buy special formulas, drinks, etc?
• Will I be eating a wide variety of foods rather than just a few “diet” foods?
• Am I allowed to have some treats and eat my favorite foods?
• Can I eat out in restaurants, have a glass of wine with dinner, or some dessert?
• Can I follow this weight loss program without it interfering with my lifestyle?
• Can I lose weight without feeling hungry?
• Will l develop eating habits for life-long weight control with this weight loss program?
• Is this the last diet I will ever need to finally reach and maintain my ideal weight?

Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Nutritionists have known for a long time that seafood is a low-fat source of high-quality protein. Eating seafood is one of the best choices for children, adults, and the aging population and the health benefits are simply amazing. In fact, many studies have shown that eating seafood can decrease your risk of heart attack, stroke, obesity, hypertension, and even decrease, or in some cases, total reduce inflammation.

Inflammation is a process in which the body's white blood cells and chemicals help protect us from infection and foreign substances such as bacteria and viruses.

"When inflammation occurs, chemicals from the body are released into the blood or affected tissues. This release of chemicals increases the blood flow to the area of injury or infection and may result in redness and warmth. Some of the chemicals cause a leak of fluid into the tissues, resulting in swelling. This process may stimulate nerves and cause pain." [2]

The immune system, a complex array of organs, tissues and specialized cells, protects us from outside invaders, such as bacteria, viruses, allergens and from harmful insiders, such as infected cells and toxins. However, the immune system is not segregated (immune) from disease that attacks the human body.

"Several chronic diseases involve the immune system. The most common are rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, psoriasis (an inflammatory skin condition), and some allergies. In these conditions the immune system overacts and the inflammation that results contributes to the disease symptoms - painful joints, itchy skin, swelling, redness, wheezing, etc. These overactive immune responses can be toned down by the omega-3 fatty acids found in fish. For this reason, the oils in fatty fish, such as salmon, mackerel, herring, rainbow trout, and sardines, can be helpful in reducing the severity of the symptoms of these conditions. Omega-3s cannot prevent or cure these conditions, but they may make a noticeable improvement in the discomfort associated with them."[1]

A diet that consists of fish high in omega-3 fatty acids can provide an added benefit one needs to ward off disease and illness. However, many people may not like fish. If that's the case, there are omega-3 supplements, like TriVita's Omega Prime.

Omega Prime contains a premier and unique blend of four different types of the most highly regarded Essential Fatty Acids (EFA) oils – Fish, Flaxseed, Evening Primrose and Perilla Seed. It also uses only contaminant-free fish oil that has undergone a 10 stage distilling process.

Start taking control of your health by adding omega-3 to your diet. Take advantage of what the nutritionists have known for a very long time - fish, high in omega-3 fatty acids, is needed to maintain a health body.

Weight Loss Tip 2: Eat Light And Healthy

Some of the other ideal weight loss tips recommend that your diet consist of low fat, complex carbohydrates and a high amount of both vitamins and minerals.

Of course, if you follow the right weight loss tips things can be a little bit easier here at least. This is because gradually making a low fat diet an integral part of your life is ideal at all stages of your life. Such a diet should include whole grain cereals, pasta, fresh fruits, breads, green vegetables, beans and nuts. You should avoid eating junk food and fried foods. It is also important that you drink plenty of water all through your day as well. Furthermore, you should try to begin your day with a heavy, but fat free, meal such as cornbread with Taramasalata. This will help you to feel a lot less hungry throughout the day.

Conclusion

There are a lot of options available in the market that focus on weight loss ideas. However, the best weight loss tips always take into consideration a smart selection of food. This is why when you watch someone who is trying to lose weight not have any effective outcomes happening, you can rest assured that it is because the person’s calorie intake is higher than what they are burning.

Weight Loss

Health and Wellness - Weight Loss and Diabetes

If you are overweight and have diabetes, losing weight can be beneficial. First, as you lose weight and body weight moves closer to ideal for height, blood sugar is often better controlled. Blood pressure and blood cholesterol levels improve as well with a healthy body weight.

Weight loss also offers the ability to move better, breathe better and a more normal resting heart rate. This can in turn help to make exercise easier.

Talk with your doctor about a healthy body weight and how many calories he or she recommends. A steady, healthy rate for weight loss is one to two pounds per week. One pound equates to 3500 calories, if your goal is to lose one pound per week 3500 divided by 7 days per week = 500 calories per day. You will want to reduce calories by 500 per day so that you can lose one pound per week.

Also, talk to your doctor about exercise. Exercise can help with weight loss as well as improve blood sugar, blood pressure and blood cholesterol.

Weight Loss

Health and Wellness - Weight Loss Goals

One of the first things that you’ll do when you decide to lose weight is to set a goal weight. For most, that goal will be their ‘ideal weight’, but for many, that ‘ideal weight’ may be exactly the wrong weight for them to be aiming for.

Years of dieting or being overweight have the physiological effect of moving the body’s concept of the ‘ideal weight’ from what is truly considered ideal. The ‘set point’ is the weight at which your body naturally feels most comfortable. If you’ve been overweight for a very long time, or if you’ve consistently ‘yo-yoed’, your body may respond to your initial weight loss by lowering its metabolism because it believes that you are starving to death. This slowing leads to discouraging plateaus that often knock people off their diets entirely, and lead to regaining all or part of the lost weight.

Instead of aiming for an ‘ideal weight’ that calls for you to lose weight steadily for months or even years, many experts recommend aiming for shorter-term attainable goals. Since the bulk of diet research shows that most dieters lose weight steadily for about 12 weeks, then hit a plateau, that’s the number that they suggest you aim for. The strategy that many have found works best for them is one of alternating periods of weight loss and maintenance, each lasting 8-12 weeks.

Choose a realistic amount of weight that you can lose in 8-12 weeks. Figuring that the most reasonable and healthiest weight loss rate is 1-2 pounds per week, 30 pounds in three months is not unreasonable. Diet until you reach that goal, or for 12 weeks, whichever comes first, and then switch to a maintenance diet.

Why switch to a maintenance diet at that point? In part, you’re giving yourself a ‘breather’, a break from more restrictive eating. The other part, though, is that you’re re-educating your body and letting it establish a new ‘set point’. Once you’ve maintained your new weight for 8-12 weeks, set another weight loss goal, and move back into weight loss mode. By giving your body a break from ‘starvation’, you’ll have overcome its resistance to losing more weight, and be back to dieting for ‘the first two weeks’ – the weeks that most people lose weight more rapidly.

You’ll also be giving yourself a chance to ‘practice’ maintaining your new, healthier weight. Researchers have found that more than half of the dieters who take off significant amounts of weight do not maintain that weight loss once they go ‘off’ their diet. By practicing weight maintenance in stages, you’ll be proving to yourself that you CAN do it, and removing a powerful negative psychological block.

This will work with any long-term weight loss diet, no matter the focus. You’ll find it much easier to do if you choose a diet that has concrete ‘phases’, like the South Beach or the Atkins, since the weight loss and maintenance phases are clearly laid out for you to follow. Regardless of the diet you choose, though, by alternating between weight loss phases and maintenance phases, you’ll teach yourself and your body how to maintain a healthy weight.

Weight Loss

Health and Wellness - Weight Loss Tips

How to keep your weight-loss! It is possible to lose weight and not gain it back. There is nothing more discouraging than to lose weight and gain it back.

Have you have experienced the joy of victory, when you have lost weight?

Have you experienced the agony of gaining back your weight loss?

Do you want to lose weight and not gain it back?

After you have reached your ideal weight, you begin to relax and enjoy your new body image. The need to punish and deprive you for eating wrong and not exercising enough is no longer necessary. You began to reward yourself for your weight loss and new body image. You enjoy the way you look in your clothes. You enjoy your greater flexibility. The acknowledgment of your weight loss by your friends and family thrills you. You have greater passion for living. You have more confidence in your relationships. You like what you see in the mirror.

Logically, these benefits from losing weight should be rewarding enough to maintain permanent weight loss. Logically and consciously, the rewards for attaining your ideal weight are the benefits from being thin.

Why aren’t the benefits from weight loss strong enough to maintain weight loss? Unconsciously, the rewards for attaining your ideal weight are eating as in the past and and insufficient exercise.

Successful weight loss and programs to lose weight fail, because people’s motivation and thinking prevent successful maintenance of weight loss. In order to maintain permanent weight loss, you must change your thinking.

Unconsciously, for many people food is a reward and functions as a tranquilizer. When food functions as a reward or tranquilizer, successful maintenance of weight loss is impossible. From this perspective, losing weight is associated with punishment and grounding, because of past over-eating and not exercising. No one likes to be punished and deprived. No one likes to be punished and deprived permanently.

If losing weight is motivated and associated with punishing and depriving you, you are doomed to fail. Although you enjoy your weight loss and want to maintain your weight loss, unconsciously your mind begins to sabotage you.

Why? For your unconscious mind, the reward for successful weight loss is over-eating again and insufficient exercising.

Successful maintenance of weight loss only is possible when obesity, overeating and failure to exercise are perceived as punishments, while weight loss, eating right and exercising are thought of as rewards.

You’re thinking and motivation for losing and maintaining weight loss must change. Eating wrong and living without sufficient exercise can no longer be the reward. Thinness, eating right, and exercising must become rewards rather than punishments.

Before you begin any change in your eating patterns, change your thinking and maintain healthy thinking through out the weight loss period and after you have lost your excess weight.

Omega-3 and Your Memory

Yesterday I was visiting with my mother-in-law. After asking me the same question a second time, she said, "my memory is not the same as it used to be." That, coming from an 88 year-old woman, may be all too common for the elderly. However, when it comes to middle-aged individuals, that should not be the norm. So, is there a way to improve our memory, or at least keep it from failing us as we age?

After reading the article below, "Ways to Improve Your Memory" by TriVita's Chief Science Officer, Brazos Minshew, I believe there are certain things we CAN do to improve our memory and keep it sharp as we continue to age, just as Mr. Minshew mentions in his article. I've posted the complete article below.

Ways to Improve Your Memory by Brazos Minshew

OK, I will admit it if you will: I have forgotten the names of people while I was talking to them! I have lost my car keys, misplaced my glasses and turned the wrong way on my drive home.

How about you? Does it seem like your memory is playing tricks on you as you age? Well, there are reasons for that and very few of these reasons are related to diseases such as dementia and Alzheimer's.

How to make a memory
Your memory is an amazing miracle. Every second your brain processes billions of bits of information from your five senses. You may consciously perceive only a very small percentage of this information because one function of your brain is to filter out unimportant information. The things you remember will usually be advantageous to you. For instance, remembering your wedding anniversary date or remembering where the speed trap is on your drive home.

Memory is classed into two basic groups:

1. Short-term: Short term memories are quickly forgotten when they are no longer important.
2. Long-term: Long-term memories may be divided into recent and distant.

Practicing or rehearsing can improve your memory by moving more information into long-term. For instance, when I am distracted by stress I will not be able to remember where I left my car keys. That information was deleted from my short-term memory. However, if I consciously say, "I am hanging my car keys on the hook," I am far more likely to remember where they are.

How to keep a memory

Reduce stress
Stress kills your memory. The stress system is designed to ensure survival. It helps us fight off a snarling dog or flee from a snarling bear. As important as that is, humans do more every day than merely survive. If you want to have a good, healthy memory, do all you can to reduce the need for fight or flight stress responses.

Learn something new
As mentioned, practicing or rehearsing something enhances memory. So does learning something new. You see, memory is facilitated through the billions of neurons and synapses in your brain by patterns: retracing old patterns as well as creating new patterns. The more new things we master and the more connections we create, the better our overall memory will be.

If you want to remember your anniversary, start learning a foreign language. If you want to remember important names, learn a musical instrument. The more you learn – and the more you connect the old with the new – the better your overall memory will be.

How to nourish a memory
Certain nutrients help the memory to remain sharp. These nutrients fall into two basic categories: those that create brain structure and those that nourish brain function.

Your brain is made mostly of fat. And the majority of that fat is an Omega-3 called DHA. So, to have a healthy brain we need healthy fats like OmegaPrime®. Your nerve cells convert some fats into functional nerve proteins called myelin. Formation of myelin requires dietary protein and Vitamin B-12. So, for healthy brain structure and function we need Omega-3 fats, healthy dietary protein and Vitamin B-12.

When the memory is activated, it creates heat in the brain. To fuel the memory, quench the heat and repair the daily wear-and-tear on your brain, you need antioxidants. Certain antioxidants target brain function specifically. An excellent antioxidant formula that is also anti-inflammatory is Nopalea™. The Betalain bioflavonoids in Nopalea also help improve circulation by fortifying healthy arteries.

What do you remember?
To recap: Occasional memory lapses usually indicate you are distracted by stress. Rehearsing things you want to remember and practicing new things you have learned can help you avoid stress-induced memory lapses. Because new behaviors create new pathways in your brain, learning something new such as a new language or musical instrument can improve your overall memory.

Stress kills your memory. Nutrients such as Omega-3, Vitamin B-12 and anti-inflammatory antioxidants such as those found in Nopalea can help rebuild and restore your ability to remember. With all of these tools at your disposal, you have access to the power of a healthy memory. ** End of Article **

From the Franklin Institute on the effects of stress and memory loss: "Chronic over-secretion of stress hormones adversely affects brain function, especially memory. Too much cortisol can prevent the brain from laying down a new memory, or from accessing already existing memories."[1]

We need to keep our brains active, and reduce or eliminate stress. If not, we'll wind up having increased memory loss and probably make the same statement as my mother-in-law. We only go through this life once, and it's important to take care of our bodies by eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and taking on some activity that will keep your mind sharp. You may even want to think about supplementing your diet with one of the nutritional products from TriVita.

If you would like additional information on Omega Prime or any other TriVita nutritional product, you can go to the TriVita Products page to learn more. TriVita ensures that you get the safest, freshest, and most effective products available on the market today.

Omega Prime and Your Memory

Yesterday I was visiting with my mother-in-law. After asking me the same question a second time, she said, "my memory is not the same as it used to be." That, coming from an 88 year-old woman, may be all too common for the elderly. However, when it comes to middle-aged individuals, that should not be the norm. So, is there a way to improve our memory, or at least keep it from failing us as we age?

After reading the article below, "Ways to Improve Your Memory" by TriVita's Chief Science Officer, Brazos Minshew, I believe there are certain things we CAN do to improve our memory and keep it sharp as we continue to age, just as Mr. Minshew mentions in his article. I've posted the complete article below.

Ways to Improve Your Memory by Brazos Minshew

OK, I will admit it if you will: I have forgotten the names of people while I was talking to them! I have lost my car keys, misplaced my glasses and turned the wrong way on my drive home.

How about you? Does it seem like your memory is playing tricks on you as you age? Well, there are reasons for that and very few of these reasons are related to diseases such as dementia and Alzheimer's.

How to make a memory
Your memory is an amazing miracle. Every second your brain processes billions of bits of information from your five senses. You may consciously perceive only a very small percentage of this information because one function of your brain is to filter out unimportant information. The things you remember will usually be advantageous to you. For instance, remembering your wedding anniversary date or remembering where the speed trap is on your drive home.

Memory is classed into two basic groups:

1. Short-term: Short term memories are quickly forgotten when they are no longer important.
2. Long-term: Long-term memories may be divided into recent and distant.

Practicing or rehearsing can improve your memory by moving more information into long-term. For instance, when I am distracted by stress I will not be able to remember where I left my car keys. That information was deleted from my short-term memory. However, if I consciously say, "I am hanging my car keys on the hook," I am far more likely to remember where they are.

Weight Loss

Health and Wellness - Weight Loss Tips

First, assess why past diets have failed. “Yo-yo dieting” can have long-lasting, negative effects on your metabolism. If you drastically reduce calories, you’re also likely to deprive yourself of essential nutrients. Nutritionists recommend that sedentary women usually need at least 1200-1300 calories a day, but that’s if you’re carefully monitoring nutrient intake.

You need to lose weight slowly. Instead of a crash dieting, reduce your intake by 100-200 calories and eat more filling, high-fiber foods to combat hunger.

Small changes are most likely to be long-lasting. Trading mayo for mustard, or a side of fries for a side of veggies makes a big difference in the long run.

Don’t try to make unrealistic, drastic changes. If you absolutely love a certain food, swearing to never eat it again may lead to craving and binges.

Brush off mistakes. They are unavoidable. Demanding perfection is setting yourself up to fall short.

Target mindless eating. Are there any high-calorie foods that you consume that you wouldn’t miss? Food shopping once a week and planning your meals out can be a good way to avoid this. Now its easier than ever with online grocery services that deliver to your doorstep.

Treat your body well by appreciating the taste and texture of food and the way your body feels after exercise.

Finally, don’t let yourself miss out on the important things by spending all your time thinking about your weight. Your diet should be one aspect of your life, and it should never require you to turn down a social opportunity, distract you from school or diminish your self-esteem. If it does, those body image issues need to be dealt with before going on any type of diet.

Weight Loss

Health and Wellness - Weight Loss

It seems that you can’t open a newspaper or magazine without seeing an article about one medical study or other that warns about all of the potentially harmful consequences associated with being overweight. Overweight people do have higher risks of heart disease, hypertension, stroke, and diabetes. If you ask me, those are some pretty compelling reasons to make a commitment to shed some pounds now. But perhaps you’re a bit cynical about the whole dieting process because of failed attempts in the past. That’s certainly understandable, and I can empathize with you . However, you’re health is too important to just give up completely. Instead, maybe it’s time you took a look at some weight loss products that can help you slim down.

First of all, I want to tell you that there are no magic weight loss products out there. The foundation of any effective diet is a combination of healthy eating habits and exercise. If you do just one or the other, you’re not likely going to see any noticeable long-term results. That being said, using weight loss products in addition to dieting and exercise could be the formula that finally makes the difference for you. There are numerous kinds of weight loss products available on the market today, and they all purport to have different effects on your body. So a successful diet depends in large part on which particular weight loss product you decide to use.

It is important to know your ideal body weight. What is an ideal body weight?

When you look at your height and your build, the number of pounds that are healthy for you is probably a higher number than you are shooting for if you are dieting. I know that the weight I seem to think is what I want is indeed lower than what my doctor is telling me. There is a difference between how you think you want to look in clothing and what is healthy for the maintenance of good health and longevity.

When you ideal body weight and your vision of your body don’t match, you have to think about why that is. I don’t mean when you think you want to be a few pounds lower than your ideal body weight, I mean when you are trying to be thirty or more pounds lower. This is not healthy for you, and you have to come to grips with the body you have. If you don’t, you may end up with an eating disorder. You may want to take some time to talk to your doctor or a nutritionist to see what is going on with you, and what you can do to be healthier rather than thinner.

Remember that you ideal body weight has more to do with health then anything else. This means that the weight that is ideal for you is one that is good for your heart and your long term health. This has nothing to do with how you will look in a swimming suit, but the closer you are to this ideal body weight you are, the better you are going to look. You may not think it’s perfect, but it is important to know that your ideal weight will help ensure you are around to watch your children and your grandchildren grow up.

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.

Weight Loss

Health and Wellness - Eat Smaller Portions

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.

As you know portion sizes in restaurants across America are huge, so opting for the kiddie menu is a good idea! ( but reader beware: sometimes the kid’s menu is nothing but unhealthy junk. If you can find a healthy choice…order it! The portion size for the kid’s menu is actually the right size…”supersized” portions are wrecking havoc with our waistlines!

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.
