Weight Loss Tips and Information.

Simply because weight management works and weight loss doesn’t.

An obsession with losing weight will usually bring on a rebound where the weight is gained back – and often more of it! There are three major causes for this phenomenon, and they have their root in the fact that each of us humans is a team of physical, mental, and emotional players.

The physical body needs adequate nutrition in order to stay healthy and active. We are not like a car that is built by someone, used by someone, maintained by someone, fixed by someone, and eventually discarded by someone. Our building and maintaining happens literally from WITHIN, through our own cell’s regeneration. When you think about it, it is quite a miracle. There is not a single cell in your body that [ Continue Reading ]

It had only been a few months since the birth of my son and while it was more work than I had expected, it was wonderful. Can there be anything more special than this tiny person that is suddenly the center of your world? Not a chance.

However, now that the birth was over and some time had passed I could no longer convince myself that the weight I was still carrying was due to swelling. If you are like me a part of you was hoping you would lose 60 pounds during the birth. This apparently never happens. You cannot fit into your skinny jeans the day after you come home from the hospital, no one does.

Do not obsess about your weight too soon. I tried very hard not to. I kept telling myself that it took 9 months to gain the weight so it cannot come off overnight. Do not give [ Continue Reading ]

These are just a few habits you can embrace to start revving your metabolism right away. You may have heard stories about people who have lost dozens of pounds simply switching to diet soda or walking a few minutes each day.

These are all small habits that contribute to a big difference and increase your metabolism over time. You will make weight loss quicker and easier by increasing your metabolic rate and burning more calories.

1) Move More

Sedentary people burn about one-third less calories per day. By simply taking every opportunity to move can make quite a dramatic difference to the amount of calories you burn in one day. Small movements will add up over time to lots of calories.

The trick is to keep moving throughout your day. Write the word move [ Continue Reading ]

Weight loss is the hip word today. But in real sense, weight loss is meant to be a technical term which is appropriately used for persons suffering from obesity. You are clinically diagnosed with obesity only if you have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or more, whereas the ideal BMI is 20 to 24. You need to maintain your ideal body weight by a balanced dietary restriction and graded exercise schedule. But you need not go overboard for therapies like diet pills in the first instance as they can be hazardous to your health. You must understand that diet pills are not your alternatives to ‘cosmetic’ weight loss but are recommended only in cases of exogenous obesity.

Obesity is a condition where the natural energy reserve, stored in your fatty tissue is increased to a [ Continue Reading ]

The decision to lose weight is not one that many people make lightly – excuse the pun. Often, it has been flitting around in the mind for years. It may even have been reached, acted on and abandoned as another fad diet bit the dust. Then, a rogue photograph appears depicting you doing your best whale impression, or you are unexpectedly required to move quickly (perhaps during a fire drill at work, where everyone sees you panting), and almost expire from the effort. Shamed into action you decide once again that another attempt to shed weight will be worthwhile.

The good news is that you needn’t do it on your own. A huge range of weight-loss programs exist today – from independent, locally run clubs to the multi-national organizations- all offering weight-loss [ Continue Reading ]
