Low Carb Diet

Low carb diet is useless, believe me. The rules are always too strict to be followed, and in long run you won’t be able to keep up the same pace because you’ll lose your energy (carbohydrate). Low carb diet believes that if we cut our carbohydrate consumption, we’ll lose weight faster than if we follow any traditional low fat diets. Atkins diet is the most popular example from low carb diet programs.

Maybe you haven’t noticed that with low carb diet we lose weight because we lose our glycogen and muscle, not our excess fat. It happens because when we cut our carbohydrate consumption, our body won’t have enough glycogen to bind our muscle. In long term, you’ll lose some of your muscles and your glycogen. This is not good for our health, of course. But if you ask Dr. Atkins (founder of Atkins Diet), obviously he will deny this argument because he really make a good amount of money from his low carb diet program.

Actually what we need is to cut the “quality” of our carbohydrate consumption, not the “quantity”. Some foods contain high carbohydrate but low in glycemic such as fruits and carrots. Foods which contain high carbohydrate and also full of glycemic are rice, pasta, white sugar, etc. Now if you eat your meal carefully, you can reduce your carb consumption without losing any muscles and glycogen. Of course it will be better if you follow traditional low fat diet plan although (maybe) you’ll lose weight slower than this program.

For low fat programs, you might need help from diet pills. I have read some stories about people who successfully lost their weight by using diet pills. Read the first story here and the second one here.

Someone Else's Path?

The easiest way in achieving our goal is to follow someone else’s path. This kind of method works in every aspects of our life. Whether you want to be successful in your business or only in your personal life, following someone else’s victory road is always the simplest way. Weight Loss is not different. You need to know what works best for others, then follow it.

However, sometimes what works greatly for others doesn’t always work for us. If a 40 old man tells you that he lost 12 pounds with calorie shifting plan within 2-3 months, probably you will only lose 2-3 pounds. People have different body each other. But if you ask me, actually there are several plans which work for everyone (although the results are not always the same).

Are you wondering what are those plans? OK. First, you must remember that higher metabolism rate is always better. People who know nothing will teach you that more often you eat, you’ll gain weight faster. The case is not as simple as that. If you eat less foods but you eat quite often (5-6 times per day), eventually you will lose weight faster. Of course you need to reduce the amount of the fats in each meal if you want to lose even faster.

Higher metabolism rate is not only about eating. You need to take exercises more than once per day. If you think jog 40 minutes every day is enough, why don’t you try to jog three times per day with 15 minutes each? Believe me, it is much better. Your body will get used to faster and higher metabolism rate and in the end, you will lose weight faster. Better metabolism also means you will have better eye sight. If you have any problems with your eyelids, i know one site that can really help you through eyelids surgery.

Tips for Mommies

Weight loss plans for normal people and for new mommies are different. Why do you think new mommies are always fatter than single women? You ate too many foods while you were still pregnant so it’s understandable if now you are struggling quite hard to get back to your normal habit. Another reason is because you are busy with your newborn baby. You breastfeed your baby and you also take care of your husband so you don’t have enough time for yourself.

It is true? Not really. Everyone always has time to relax. It’s up to them what they want to do in that situation. Some people go watch television, some people go to gym, some people play games, etc. Now you must do something worthy every day. Well, the easiest thing to do is to breastfeed your own child. Some mommies told other females to breastfeed their children. They didn’t know that breastfeed will burn up to 750 calories. A good thing for both your children and your weight, isn’t it?

Beside breastfeed, of course you need to get sweat. If you have some friends, ask them to run every morning or every evening. You can use treadmill if you want but it’s much easier if you have partners. You will be motivated every time you run, jog, or go to gym while you have friends. Different if you are alone, sometimes we are just too lazy to even wake up from our bed! Get strong, girls!

About diet pills

In modern age, busy life is something that we must accept. Work from 8 AM – 6 PM is something that we can’t refuse. With this kind of lifestyle, our physical health can’t be considered as healthy unless if we taking exercises every day (or every two days). Well, technology has an answer for us. In the new century, weight loss pills are very common to our life. People with excess weight and lazy activities often typed keyword “weight loss pills” or “best weight loss pills” in Google just because they want to lose weight fast.

Actually, can they lose weight so fast? Nope. However, the real weight loss pills can actually help you but only if you have patience. Working on your body, running 15-30 minutes every day, and other healthy activities are still needed. Try to live with healthy eating habit is also needed if you want to lose weight. But of course, weight loss pills can help you to lose more unwanted pounds.

Young Women, You Need To Read This...

Young women. I think many young women in this world are working too hard on their body. When they think they are fat, they will do anything in order to get a better physical appearance. Sometimes, they even skip meals at night/afternoon just because they feel uncomfortable with their body. When they are skinny, they even think they are still fat. This is a serious problem which, unfortunately, faced by most young women. They want men to worship them although they never admit it.

They need to know that lose weight needs patience. You can’t skip meals because in long term it will harm you. When you are fat and you think you need to change, then change your lifestyle BUT periodically. Don’t ever think you can change in only one night or one week. Sport activities and healthy meals are needed but skip meals are a big no.

Don't Punish Yourself

Many people talked a lot of things about dieting but actually dieting needs process and that process is something uneasy. In diet, we need to change periodically. Don’t you think you can change your eating habit in one night, it won’t be useful for you. For example, if you love to eat three fried chickens in every lunch, then try to reduce it to two. Don’t suddenly stop eating meat at all. Your body needs adaptation, just like when we live far away from our home. What do we need? Adaptation.

Beside about eating, exercise is also important. But similar with foods, you also need to adapt with exercises. If you never train your stomach, why do you think you can sit up 200x per day? Don’t punish your own body. You need to do exercises every day but you need to begin with the easiest level. When you already get used to it, then you can move to the harder stage. It won’t bring any good if you punish yourself because in long term you will surrender and come back to your old habit.
