Healthy Weight Loss

You wont have a hard time finding a healthy weight loss program, but you may have a hard time finding the right one for you. There are so many programs on the Internet, TV, and magazines. There are so many different types from, special diets, exercise routines, to even just supplements. These all may work, but finding the proper one for your budget and body type is crucial. First off, it is a good idea to get a good scale to find out where you are at. Once you have weighed yourself, now set a goal weight that is obtainable, but don’t be afraid to put some pressure on yourself. By putting pressure on yourself you then will have a better chance of seeing results. So get a little notebook just to record your progress. Enter your start weight in day 1 and your target weight.

Now, judging on how much weight you want to lose, you can better choose your program. But even before you do that, you have to get leverage with yourself. Meaning look at yourself in the mirror, if your unhappy with what you see, then take a full picture of yourself and hang at a couple different locations around the house. Even better now cut out magazine pictures of people with the body you desire and hang them up in the house to motivate you more. The mind is your biggest road block, think positive tell yourself that you are going to make a change. A lot of people want to change how they look by losing weight or such,but their mind gets in the way because they are stuck in a rut, and tell themselves they don’t have time, or they could never look like that, or I cant do it! All just excuses, and I am a firm believer that excuses only benefit the people who make them.

Once you have acquired the proper mindset you are in a better state of mind to make a healthy weight loss. This is something that a lot of people don’t consider they buy a product and try it a few days then fall back into their old habits. So I believe before we talk about which program might be right for you, lets talk about shopping healthier. I would recommend cleaning out your house and throwing out all unhealthy foods. Yes, thats right clean out the fridge and all the cupboards in the kitchen. We are trying to change your patterns, so we don’t want you to be easily tempted to fall back into eating the same stuff. You should get rid of all foods high in fat and sugar for starters. So get in the habit of now reading the labels on the back of the box or can. Also when shopping try to buy more all natural foods instead of processed. Fresh fruits and vegetables are far better for you. One more thing on this subject while I am thinking of it is what you drink, not just what you eat. I have witnessed many people lose weight just by cutting out soda, and replacing it with water. Be careful with juices also, because most times they have so much sugar added to them that they are not doing you any good either. Water is by far the best liquid you can put in your body. Some people have a hard time because they say water has no taste, well I would recommend any seltzer water. They have no sugar in them and have a flavor to them.

So now that you have the proper mindset and have a good baseline of foods in the house, lets choose a program. When looking for a program, PLEASE DON’T make a hasty decision to buy something without thinking it through and doing a little research first. Just Google the product and see what people are saying, be careful though because there are people out there who will tell you a product doesn’t work just to gt you to buy theirs. Look for testimonials about the product. See what other people are saying, buy from someone you trust, if you think that in your gut it is a scam then it probably most likely is. Just go into finding that proper healthy weight loss program with a positive mind and do some research on it.

The best feeling in the world is to look in the mirror and be totally happy with the way you look. There are so many great variables that go along with looking good….you have more confidence, more energy,feel better, and are unstoppable, which gives you that personality that all people want to be around.

Weight Loss After 30

Is Weight loss after 30 any more difficult than weight loss in your 20’s? Is physical decline really inevitable and do you just need to accept that a little extra blubber is just par for the course? Absolutely not, in this article I’ll tell you why your 30’s are as good a time as any to get in the best shape of your life.

In our teens and 20’s we can get away with a lot. We can go out and party at the weekends, eat less than optimal food and stay up late at night and still be in pretty good shape. In general however, as we get into our 30’s the body tends to be a little less forgiving. Why is this the case and, more importantly, does it need to be?

First of all, the good news is this is not inevitable. Yes, statistics show that after 30 years of age our metabolism tends to slow down and our testosterone tends to decline. However these things are preventable. The decline in metabolic rate happens mainly due to one thing – loss of lean muscle mass! At a rate of about .5% per year between the ages of 25 and 60 ,the average sedentary man loses muscle. Remember that muscle is very metabolically expensive. In fact for every 10lbs of muscle you gain, burn an extra 500 calories a day. So by allowing yourself to lose muscle you are slowing your metabolic rate and making it far easier for the fat to creep on and take up residence on your gut. This muscle loss in not an inevitable result of the aging process and you do not need to be a victim of aging! It is simply a result of becoming less active as you get older, so stay active or get active!

Another factor affecting weight loss after 30 is reduction testosterone production. Higher testerone is positively correlated with reduced fat and increased muscle mass. In other words,lower testeosterone is bad news if you like looking good naked. Again this is not totally inevitable, simply ensuring you get enough sleep will help to offset this for example. But the absolute best thing you can do right now to prevent this decline is to begin a proper training program which both burns fat and increases muscle mass, coupled with a diet that promotes higher testosterone.

Here are some tips for optimising your diet and training program for testosterone production and muscle gain and weight loss after 30 and beyond.

1- Select big bang for your buck exercises – The squat, deadlift and bench press have all been shown to increase the release of anabolic hormones. Building your training program around these exercises is a great choice.

2- Don’t fear fat – You absolutely need some saturated fat in the diet. Don’t be afraid to eat plenty of grass fed beef and other red meat as saturated fat is necessary for testosterone production. “What about my cholesterol?” I hear you ask, well that’s for another article but cholesterol is largely genetically determined and the idea that “fat increases cholesterol” is nowhere near as rock solid and scientifically proven as many people think. Bottom line, if your eating terrible, processed food with tonnes of fat in it you are going to have problems. But naturally fatty foods like beef, organic butter, avocados and coconut oil are testosterone enhancing and, if anything, good for your heart!

3- Eat plenty of cruciferous vegetables- Without getting overly scientific, these bad boys (such as broccoli, arugula, kale and cabbage) while not exactly being a taste sensation are good news for your physique. Some studies have shown that in addition to preventing some types of cancer, they also help “mop up” estrogen within the body. Less estrogen equals more free testosterone which once agin means you look better in a speedo (gross oversimplification there but this isn’t a physiology lesson).

So there we have it. Weight loss over 30 is easy when you have a good diet and training plan. Don’t be a victim of the aging process! Your 30’s could be the best years of your life if you only take control of your physique and your health, so start today!
