Do this exactly ONCE per week (for max fatloss)


If there's one thing that causes more unnecessary panic and stress,
 it's the dag-gone scale.

People literally FREAKING OUT because the scale reads one pound more today than it did yesterday.


So today,We're here to help you with some facts and a bit of advice.


#1 - that's NORMAL. If you weigh yourself every day, you're going to see fluctuations in weight throughout the week (mainly due to daily water fluctuations). That's normal and to be 
expected, especially if you're utilizing a program that cycles carb and calorie intake like Cheat Your Way Thin, Fat Loss Factor, or  Xtreme Fat Loss Diet.

The solution?


NEVER weigh yourself more than once a week. Period. Anything more than that and you're just screwing yourself psychologically. The scale will inevitably jump around and instead of staying focused on your fat loss plan and your goals, your thoughts become consumed with a number (that for all intents and purposes is unreliable on a daily basis).


So when 
should you weigh yourself?

The key is to keep things as consistent as possible throughout the measuring process:


*Same scale

*Same day each week

*Same time of day

*Same circumstances


For example, if you have a Cheat Day on the same day each week, We recommend taking your scale reading on that day, first thing in the morning before eating or drinking anything, on the same scale each week, unclothed. Taking measurements in this fashion will give you a pretty good idea of the type of results you were able to achieve from the previous week.


Perhaps an even better indicator of progress is your waist measurement, and as such we recommend taking a waist measurement along with your scale reading each week. Again, same measuring tape, some spot (around the navel), same set of circumstances, etc.


Even if for some fluke reason the scale doesn't budge one week, as long as your waist measurement decreases you can rest assured that you're losing fat because your fat stores are 
shrinking.

So, if you're someone who steps on the scale daily, or even worse sporadically throughout the week at different times of day, do yourself a favor and STOP. Move to once-a-week progress measurements for a much more reliable, stress-free indicator of progress.

Awareness has also led to the discovery of the fact that if you use natural products in your diet instead of artificial or synthetically manufactured products then you can get all the nutrients for maintaining a healthy body and developing six packs abs and fulfil your weight loss target.
You might have also come across the fact that deposition of cholesterol in the body leads to many health problems that may even prove fatal as the cholesterol deposition blocks the free flow of flood. You should avoid the intake of food that has high content of fat. Your food should contain the ingredient called omega three fatty acids, which help in maintaining the ideal level of cholesterol in the body. It is a well-known fact that you can find high level of omega three fatty acids in fish. Thus, most of the health advisors and doctors recommend fish as a part of your diet as these natural products not only supply the nutrients to your body but also help in maintaining the level of weight loss that you have achieved.
Often you will find your health advisors or doctors advising you to avoid any type of red meat like pork, beef, venison or any other kind of red meat although these are natural products. They advice to abstain from red meat as research has led to the discovery that red meat contains high amount omega six fatty acids, which is very harmful for your health. These fatty acids do not dissolve but stick to the walls of your arteries and veins and obstruct the free flow of blood, which leads to the deprivation of oxygen and fresh blood to the vital organs in your body.  Latest research has led to the discovery of the fact that red meat contains more amounts of omega three fatty acids than fish or other products if the animal feeds on natural grass.
This is a clear indication that nature has provided the best edible materials for human beings and the use of natural products will not only help you to maintain a healthy and fit body but also help you to achieve the six packs abs for which you have set your target of weight loss. Nowadays most of the businesspersons use synthetic materials to increase their produce and earn more profit.  While buying your items you should check the label and buy only those food items grown with the help of organic or natural manure. These types of food items will also save your body from the deposits of the harmful residue of synthetic fertilizers left in the vegetables and fruits in spite of washing and cooking.
Thus, if you want to attain success in your weight loss program and develop six pack abs, you will have to change your diet and switch over to natural products so that you can eat healthy food. This will not only help you to lead a healthy and happy life but also save you from the problems of obesity and cholesterol deposition.

Why is Dinner Fattening?



Almost everyone looks back with warmth at memories of some family dinner.  Dinners are ideally associated with relaxation, laughter and talk.
The process of laughing and talking over food should technically stretch the meal, giving our brain ample time to send satiety signals.  Again, ideally, this should mean saved calories and leaner bodies over time.

The reality, however, is different.  In today’s hurried worlds, we rush home from work to errands, events or even kids homework.  The calories start building up way before they are consumed.  The hurried mindset usually means cutting corners in dinner preparation.

We add fats or fatty meats to add flavor, processed foods to cut cooking times, and heavy starches as comfort food.  We may even have skipped meals during the day, and get so hungry that we munch on a snack while waiting for dinner to get to the table.  By the time dinner is served, the average meal has doubled or tripled in calories.

As a society, we are also consuming dinner later in the evenings, which means we are not giving our bodies enough time to digest and assimilate the meal.  That adds to an automatic increase in fatty stores.  Welcome to the land of pear-shaped people!

So what can you do to prevent dinner from destroying your weight loss or weight maintenance plan?
Here are three tips:
  1. Switch meals -  Making breakfast the biggest meal of the day not only gets your diet plan off to the right start, but a balanced breakfast also helps fight disease and reduce cravings through the remainder of the day.  It gives you the energy to keep going through the day (with a balanced lunch, of course).
  2. Plan Ahead – This means taking the time to plan out menus for the week to ensure you don’t have to cut corners and add high-calorie substitutes later.
  3. Enjoy with Company – Research shows that having a balanced dinner with friends or family on a daily basis prevents obesity as individuals tend to exercise more restraint on eating patterns socially than when eating by themselves.  Conversation around the table also means there is more time for your brain to signal, “I’m Full”.

Eat More Food To Lose Weight Fast



There is one golden rule for dieters and non-dieters alike: Eat frequently but eat less. This is practically the easiest way to ensure we lose weight, even if we don’t change anything about our diet.  Here’s why:

Bye-bye over-eating:
When eating five or six times a day, we sit down for each meal only feeling a slight pang of hunger, as opposed to wanting to eat everything in sight when we are famished. Switching to more meals a day will also help us appreciate food better, which, again, will improve the quality of our life and change our relationship with food.
No binges: By eating more often, you’re less likely to get ravenous. When you eat a midmorning and mid-afternoon snack, you’re not starving at lunchtime or after work.  You are then much less likely to binge. For each meal or snack, eat both protein and carbs, such as cereal with milk, an apple with peanut butter or a turkey sandwich. Protein takes longer to digest than carbs, so you’ll stay satisfied longer.
Fire up your metabolism: Metabolism kicks into high gear when we feed ourselves regularly.  Our bodies are less likely to go into ‘survival mode’, as they do when we go for large periods of time with inadequate or no food, and then binge.  By feeding yourself regularly, your body thinks you’re getting ongoing fuel with no lack in supply.  It’ll keep burning those calories, and you will start feeling the results in no time.
Switching to six meals a day also has benefits beyond weight control. Since we no longer feel famished, our attention span improves, as also does our concentration, which, in turn, translates into increased productivity and an overall better mood at all times. You are also likely to eat more nutritiously because you won’t be loading up on empty calories.

How Does Stress Impact Your Weight Loss Efforts?


There is plenty of published research linking stress and weight gain.  While a variety of external behaviors and factors affect how we deal with stress, there are also biological responses automatically occurring within our body.
Cortisol, a stress-related hormone, has been associated with weight gain, especially abdominal fat.  When under stress, very large amounts of cortisol are released into the blood stream.  The most amount of fat is collected in the abdomen region when we eat under stress because receptors for cortisol are located in the abdomen.  To make things worse, a higher waist-to-hip ratio has been associated with higher levels of cortisol under stress.  That is a double whammy for those of us who are even slightly overweight.  It means we automatically start triggering more abdominal fat storage than our leaner peers.
Metabolism is also impacted by excess cortisol.  Metabolism slows down.  A slower metabolism means you can’t burn off calories efficiently, and this results in weight gain even when consuming a lower amount of calories. Another double whammy here.  Since most people tend to eat more when under stress, the rate of weight gain increases exponentially.
So what can you do to avoid having cortisol create a roadblock in your weight loss efforts?  Manage stress proactively!  Don’t wait until it catches up with you to start fighting it.  Here are a few things to do:
Raise awareness:  Gain awareness of your stress triggers and reactions.
Get in those workouts: Exercise regularly to regulate cortisol levels.  It can also help alleviate depression.  Try relaxation exercises such as guided meditations and yoga.
Get enough rest:  Your body rejuvenates itself while sleeping, and helps you cope with stress more effectively.  It may mean that you make a wiser food choice the next day, and help yourself in your weight loss or maintenance plan.
It is important to note that while it is important you manage stress and cortisol levels appropriately, medication is not a recommended first option.  Try one of the methods above first!
