7 Easy Ways to Stick to Your Weight Loss Resolutions

7 Easy Ways to Stick to Your Weight Loss Resolutions

Goals are a wonderful way to motivate us to achieve the things we desire in life, but they frequently go unachieved. Write down your "Why," that is, why are you doing this? Most people skip this step, which is one of the main reasons they never achieve their objectives. If you want to lose 20 pounds in 6 months, create a reason why and stick it on your mirror. Aim for a weekly weight loss of 1-2 pounds at most.

Losing more than that amount is harmful to your health. Accept reality and "go with the flow".

"Aims... and resolutions."

Yes, it's that time of year once more.

Why is it that every January 1st, everyone starts thinking about their new year's resolutions? Perhaps "new" isn't the right word; perhaps "recycled" is more appropriate? After all, isn't it true that "resolutions are made to be broken" for the majority of people?

Goals are a wonderful way to motivate us to achieve the things we desire in life, but they frequently go unachieved, leaving us frustrated (again) at the end of the year.

But this does not have to be the case.

Really.

You can achieve your goals or resolutions IF you know how to set them up correctly in the first place. And I'll give you a few pointers to get you started in the right direction...

- Start with the end goal in mind. What do you hope to accomplish in the end? Do you want to slim down? Or do you prefer to go down one dress size?

- Be specific while remaining realistic. It is not enough to simply state, "I want to lose weight." How much _exactly_ do you want to lose? When will it be? "I want to lose 11 pounds in three months," is a better goal. Also, make sure your goal is attainable. If you want to lose 27 pounds, saying you want to do it in the next seven days is unrealistic, not to mention unhealthy! Or, if you've slowly gained weight over the last ten years, it's not quite realistic to say you want to return to your weight ten years ago in a month. 

Break it down into smaller, more manageable "baby steps." Assume you want to lose 20 pounds. That may appear to be an impossible task, but it becomes more manageable when you consider losing 1 pound per week for 20 weeks. That's now doable! You only need to create a calorie deficit of about 500 calories per day by controlling your diet and increasing your amount of exercise to lose a pound per week.

- Now for the big "secret"  the missing piece to achieving your objectives: Write down your "Why," that is, why are you doing this. Most people skip this step, which is one of the main reasons they never seem to achieve their goals. It is critical that you write down your motivations for achieving each specific goal. For example, if you want to "lose 20 pounds in 6 months," write down why you want to do so. 

Here's another hint: Create something "personal and emotional." The more "emotional" the reason, the more likely you are to be motivated to achieve the goal. Assume you have children. "I know being overweight is a leading cause of many health problems  I will lose the 20 pounds and get healthier so that I will not be a burden to my children and will be able to stay healthy long enough to attend my daughter's wedding and be there to carry my grandchildren," is an example of a good "reason why." Assuming, of course, that all of these things are important to you.:-) But I think you get the idea.

"Write it down and post it!" It is usually insufficient to simply think about your goals in your head. You must write down all of your specific goals as well as the "whys," and then post them somewhere you will see them every day. Don't scribble it down in a notebook and toss it in the drawer. Instead, stick it on your dressing table mirror or anywhere else it will be visible. Remember the adage, "out of sight, out of mind!"

- Do not be overly ambitious. Aim for a weekly weight loss of 1-2 pounds at most! Losing more than that amount is harmful to your health. And it'll most likely be due to a loss of water and/or muscle, rather than an increase in unwanted body fat.

- Accept reality and "go with the flow." Don't expect the pounds to disappear overnight because they didn't appear overnight. And sometimes the weight loss isn't as quick (or as significant) as expected. But don't get stressed out because stress will only make you gain weight. It is critical that you do not consider the weight loss process to be "all or nothing." Instead, consider it "slowly but steadily." The weight may fluctuate from time to time, but if you stick to your plan, you'll be thrilled by the end of the year!

Make a positive difference in your life this year by following these simple steps! Best wishes!

Cookie Cutter Low Carb Diet Plans Explained

Cookie Cutter Low Carb Diet Plans Explained

Most diet plans should be approached with caution, because what works for your best friend may not work for you. Some consider low carb diet plans to be diet fads, while others consider them to be the new wave in healthy eating. The Scarsdale Diet is also a low carb, high protein diet with a two-week crash diet plan. 

The South Beach Diet and Carbohydrate Addicts Diet are among the diets gaining popularity. Main criticisms leveled at low carb, high protein diets are that they lack balance and variety and may be dangerous for people at risk of heart disease. Low carb diet plans, in particular, such as the Scarsdale diet, are unrealistic and cannot be sustained over time.

Explanation of Cookie Cutter Low Carb Diet Plans

Most diet plans, including low carb diet plans, should be approached with caution, because what works for your best friend may not work for you. Popular diet plans typically do not cater to individual needs for those with serious weight problems and co-existing issues such as hyperglycemia (high blood sugar levels) or, as some of us have, hypoglycemia (low blood sugar levels). We are all individuals, and as such, we must feed ourselves as such; however, some diet plans will be more beneficial to the general population than others.

You can use these guidelines to determine which diet plan will be most beneficial. They are very much common sense points, and they provide a good framework that many nutrition professionals would broadly adhere to, and within which you can distinguish between scammy diet plans and those that can offer you safe and healthy diet ideas.

Diet provides adequate balance and a wide range of carbohydrates, protein, and fats.

Diet does not exclude one food group while encouraging excessive consumption of another.

Diet encourages exercise in addition to healthy eating habits.

Diet promotes an awareness of portion sizes.

Diet does not promote unrealistically fast weight loss.

Diet is supported by medical research.

In addition to these points, I've broadly outlined the low carb diet plans, which appear to be occupying the minds of both dieters and researchers, as well as the research for and against low carb diet plans.

Low Carbohydrate Diets

Many diet plans these days revolve around low carb diet plans. Some consider these low carb diet plans to be diet fads, while others consider them to be the new wave in healthy eating. Obese people, according to diets like The New Atkins Diet Revolution, are insulin sensitive, and carbohydrates cause them to gain weight. Low carb diet plans, such as The Zone, specify the proportions of carbohydrates, protein, and fats that should be consumed in order to lose weight, and while fat consumption is reduced, protein consumption is the primary source of energy.

Sugar Busters believes that sugar is your body's most heinous weight loss enemy, and that carbohydrates, which are the foods that are processed into sugars, should be limited. The Scarsdale Diet is also a low carb, high protein diet with a two-week crash diet plan.

Popular low carb diet plans include the South Beach Diet and the Carbohydrate Addicts Diet, which have gained popularity among dieters who have tried and failed the Atkins diet. All of these diets see themselves as the world's solution to the obesity crisis.

To be fair, there are significant and numerous research papers that support and argue against the low carb revolution; however, the wider medical community has not fully decided whether the diets are beneficial in the long run.

According to recent research by Layman et al. and Saris, the low carb and high protein diets provide little benefit to dieters. Researchers discovered that by increasing protein moderately and decreasing carbohydrates proportionately, insulin levels stabilized but no significant weight loss occurred. Saris concluded in his review that a low carbohydrate, high fat diet is likely to increase the likelihood of weight gain.

While there is much evidence against the low carb philosophy, there is also much evidence in its favor. In a study published in May 2004, researchers discovered that when patients on a low carb diet were compared to patients on a low fat diet, those on the low carb diet lost more weight, had lower triglyceride levels, and higher levels of HDL's - in other words, their cholesterol levels improved. To top it all off, new research has been published to support the long-term efficacy of eating a low carb diet. 

Despite evidence to the contrary, mainstream medicine does not recommend low carb diet plans. The main criticisms leveled at low carb, high protein diets are that they lack balance and variety and may be dangerous for people at risk of heart disease. Low carb diet plans, in particular, such as the Scarsdale diet, are unrealistic and cannot be sustained over time, resulting in yo-yo dieting, which no one wants!

Weight Loss and Maintenance Have Been Made So Simple

 Weight Loss and Maintenance Have Been Made So Simple

Each year, nearly 300,000 people die as a result of weight-related disease. The pH Factor Weight-Management System combines a healthy eating plan, exercise, water consumption, and nutrition. This combination can assist you in raising your body pH and thus creating a healthy environment. The pH Factor Rapid Weight-Loss System will transform your body into a more efficient fat-burning machine. Order your supplies and get started TODAY.

The average diet is high in food with little to no nutritional value. This creates a significant weight-management issue. Acid in the body behaves similarly to acid outside the body. It generates waste, ages the skin, causes tissue degeneration, and causes major problems. Most health issues are caused by an excess of acid in the system.

Drinking plenty of clean water is essential to your success. Exercise has many advantages, including the ability to build lean muscle and burn extra calories, and improve overall health. When anything is done in excess, we risk becoming out of balance. Cutting out diet sodas and coffee from daily life was an extreme choice for one customer.

Millions of people spend billions of dollars on the same goal: effective weight management. Many people have struggled for years to maintain a healthy weight and body. With the majority of Americans being overweight or obese, the situation has deteriorated into a crisis. Each year, nearly 300,000 people die as a result of weight-related disease.

Every week, there seems to be a new fad diet designed to help you "lose weight." The issue is that the majority of these programs are ineffective. Some work for a few days, but then the weight returns. Others are dangerously unhealthy. People are looking for solutions to their weight-management problems in a variety of products and exercise equipment.

We believe that a healthy lifestyle is the key to effective weight management. The pH Factor Weight-Management System combines a healthy eating plan, exercise, water consumption, and superior nutrition to assist you in developing a healthy lifestyle.

The pH factor, we believe, is the missing key to this challenge for many. Because blood pH is so important to life, the body will go to any length to protect it. The typical diet consists of foods that, when digested, produce acid that enters the bloodstream. The body must neutralize this acid or face serious consequences. One of the primary buffers used by the body to deal with acid is fat. If the body is unable to neutralize acid, it stores it in fat cells.

We typically cut calories when attempting to lose fat. However, if our system remains acidic, the body burns muscle instead of fat, which would release more acid into the system. The pH Factor Weight-Management System assists you in identifying foods that cause excess acid in the system and provides alkaline products. This combination can assist you in raising your body pH and thus creating a healthy environment.

Tired of fighting to lose weight only to gain it all back? It's a dreadful cycle. It is not only depressing, but it is also unhealthy. ForMor has discovered what we believe to be the missing piece of the puzzle of long-term weight management. It is known as the pH Factor.

Thank you for visiting the pH Factor Rapid Weight-Loss System. This system's success necessitates strict adherence to the system. Failure to follow the system reduces the system's effectiveness and reduces your chances of achieving the desired result.

A healthy lifestyle is essential for weight management and overall health. This includes healthy eating, moderate and consistent exercise, plenty of water, and a good nutritional program. The pH Factor Rapid Weight-Loss System combines these into a straightforward program. We will transform your body into a more efficient fat-burning machine over the next 14 days. Order your supplies and get started TODAY. You won't be sorry!!!

The pH Factor, also known as the "potential for hydrogen," is a measurement used to determine whether something is acidic or alkaline. It is graded on a scale of 0 to 14, with 6.8 - 7.0 considered neutral. Anything less than 6.8 is considered acidic, and anything greater than 7.4 is considered alkaline. The pH of the blood is slightly higher than 7.3. If the pH of the blood changes, serious problems, including death, are likely. As a result, the body has several buffers in place to ensure that the blood pH remains constant.

The body's primary buffers are sodium, calcium, and body fat. When there is acid in the blood, the body looks for an alkaline substance to neutralize it. Sodium is the primary neutralizing agent, followed by calcium. In order to neutralize blood acid, the body actually takes calcium from the bones. If the acid cannot be easily neutralized, the body stores it in fat cells. This creates a significant weight-management issue.

Let's take a look at how it all works. Our bodies, like any machine, require fuel to function. Unfortunately, most people's fuel or food is not what their bodies require or desire. The body requires proper nutrition to function at its best. The average diet is high in food with little to no nutritional value.

The issue is much more complex than simply lower efficiency. The fuel we burn, like any machine, produces exhaust or byproducts, which are sometimes referred to as ash. On the cellular level, our food is burned as fuel in the body. The blood is the vehicle that transports food to the cell and also transports waste or exhaust away from the cell to be eliminated.

When you eat raw fruits and vegetables, your body breaks them down and sends them to your cells for fuel. The fuel is burned in the cell, and the exhaust is alkaline ash. When typical diet food is burned as fuel, the exhaust produced is acid ash. The acid is then carried through the bloodstream.

Because blood pH is so important to life, the body will go to any length to protect it. The body must neutralize this acid or face serious consequences.

Our goal is to reduce the amount of food that produces acidic ash while increasing the amount of food that produces alkaline ash.

Acid Effects Acid in the body behaves similarly to acid outside the body. It generates waste. It ages the skin, causes tissue degeneration, and causes major problems. Furthermore, most health issues are caused by an excess of acid in the system. Acid reduction is essential for long-term health.

Many people enjoy drinking a can of soda. Looking at the label, you'll notice that a can of soda is mostly acid. Soda has a pH of about 2.3. That is extremely dangerous. The body must work overtime to neutralize the acid in the system. To neutralize the acid, it uses sodium, calcium from the bones or teeth, or whatever else is available.

A small change in some of the foods we normally eat is part of this system. We understand that most people will not eliminate all of the bad food from their diet, so instead of eliminating it, we will recommend a reduction strategy.

Water

The majority of people are dehydrated. Drinking plenty of clean water is essential to your success. To calculate your water requirements, convert your body weight to ounces and divide it by two (2) to get the number of ounces you should drink each day. The only thing that counts toward your daily intake is pure water. Even water mixed with Pro Factor Shakes does not contribute to your daily requirements. To get the best results, only drink distilled water that has been charged with Crystal Catalyst Concentrate. To one (1) gallon of distilled water, add one-half (12) ounce of Crystal Catalyst Concentrate.

Exercise

Consistent exercise has many advantages, including the ability to build lean muscle, burn extra calories, and improve overall health. Commit to engaging in some form of physical activity for at least 20 minutes per day for ten (10) of the next 14 days. Walking, jogging, riding a bike, playing with your children or grandchildren, or other activities such as chasing your spouse around the house will all raise your heart rate. Make it something you want to do. Just make a commitment to it for the next two weeks.

Extremes

Balance is desirable in life. When anything is done in excess, we risk becoming out of balance. Usually, it is not just one piece of cake or one soda that kills us. We create problems when we consume too many sodas, cakes, and other acid-producing foods. You can even become unbalanced on the opposite side. Most professional athletes and vegetarians live shorter lives than some couch potatoes. However, we must identify the excesses in our food consumption and make some drastic changes to bring them back into balance.

For example, one customer consumed 6-8 diet sodas per day. Eliminating diet sodas from his daily life was an extreme choice for him, but it was one of many extreme choices he has made. Others may prefer 6-8 cups of coffee per day, two desserts per day, or mid-afternoon candy bars. We do not recommend that you stop doing these things cold turkey. Rather, begin to exercise some self-control and discipline in these areas. Instead of eight sodas per day, limit yourself to two. Instead of four cups of coffee, limit yourself to one or two. 

Instead of four packs of sugar in your tea, try one or two instead. Drink two glasses of water infused with Crystal Catalyst Concentrate instead of a late-night snack. Take the stairs once a day instead of taking the elevator. Reduce your portion sizes when eating. If you go to a buffet, only go through it once. Remove the notion that when you go to a buffet, "you have to get your money's worth" by eating as much as possible. The purpose of eating is to provide you with enough energy to get you to the next meal and nothing else. We strongly advise you to make some extreme choices for the best results.

Myth of Liquid Vitamins

 Myth of Liquid Vitamins

Pill form vitamins offer up to 30% absorption rates while liquid vitamins boast 90%. Liquid vitamins increase the number of entry pathways into the body which allows for a better absorption rate. As you drink the liquid vitamin, absorption is already taking place in your mouth's mucous membrane as well as tissue in your esophagus. A coffee filter can simulate the permeable membrane nutrients must pass through in our bodies. Lemon juice has a pH level comparable to stomach acid.

Both vitamins spent equal time in the stomach acid equivalent as well as filtering through the coffee filter. The experiment time frames were meant to simulate digestion as closely as possible which takes approximately 2-4 hours in the body.

Liquid vitamins have been stealing the spotlight from vitamin supplements. Many people have been plagued by questionable facts and liquid vitamin claims. The truth about vitamin absorption has finally arrived.

The most contentious liquid vitamin myth has to be superior vitamin absorption. Pill vitamins have a 30% absorption rate, whereas liquid vitamins have a 90% absorption rate. It is now time to visually prove or disprove this fact.

The fact testing method used involves a simple experiment. The experiment started with a hypothesis. A nutrient must be completely simplified before passing through the body's membranes, such as the villi in the small intestine or the mucous membrane, in order to be absorbed into the bloodstream. Keeping this in mind, a pill must be simplified before nutrient absorption can occur. This restricts the pill form vitamin to only one route of entry into the bloodstream: the small intestine.

Fortunately, liquid vitamins increase the number of entry pathways into the body, allowing for greater absorption. A liquid vitamin is already in its most basic form. As you drink the liquid vitamin, absorption begins in your mouth's mucous membrane and through tissue in your esophagus.

Vitamin absorption must now be more than just a theory. Visual proof of the vitamin supplement's ability to pass through a very thin membrane must be available. Visual proof is now possible with a few items from your kitchen. A coffee filter can be used to simulate the permeable membrane through which nutrients must pass in our bodies. Lemon juice has a pH similar to stomach acid. Stomach acid pH levels can range from 1 to 3 depending on stomach conditions. The pH of lemon juice is 2.3. Two vitamins were chosen for their popularity and availability, but will remain anonymous in order to preserve the experiment's universality.

After completing the vitamin absorption experiment planning, the experiment was carried out, leaving only visual vitamin absorption facts behind. Before and after the experiment, all components were weighed. Both vitamins spent the same amount of time in the stomach acid equivalent and filtering through the coffee filter. The experiment time frames were designed to be as close to digestion as possible, which takes approximately 2-4 hours in the stomach.

The vitamin absorption facts were finally visually displayed after the filtering process was completed. The weight analysis revealed 0.2 ounces of filtered liquid vitamin supplement and 0.8 ounces of filtered pill form vitamin. This corresponds to the absorption rate facts tested. The coffee filter contains visual proof of liquid vitamins' ability to absorb approximately 3 to 4 times more efficiently than pill form vitamins.
