The Best Intensity for Losing Belly Fat

What intensity of exercise is best for burning fat? Have you spending countless hours on the cardio machine and not seeing any results?

Your present lack of results could be due to the intensity of your work outs. It is often assumed that the intensity of exercise must be kept very low to burn fat as a fuel. It is true that at low exercise intensities a high percentage of the total energy expenditure during exercise is derived from fat [1]. It follows that as the exercise intensity increases, the percentage of fat used as fuel decreases [1]. However, a key point to think about is that the total rate of fat oxidation during exercise is typically greatest at higher exercise intensities that are below the lactate threshold. V02 max or maximal oxygen uptake is the maximum amount of oxygen the body is able to consume. During exercise at 20% of V02 max, it is estimated that about 60% of the total energy expended would come from fat. By comparison, during exercise at 50% of V02 max, about 40% of the total energy expended would be obtained from fat. Nonetheless, because the total rate of energy expenditure is 2.5 times greater at 50% V02 max compared to 20% V02 max, the absolute amount of fat metabolized is 33% higher during exercise at 50% V02 max [1].

What’s the best cardio program for optimal fat loss? The best cardio program to optimize fat loss is cardiovascular interval training. Set the first interval level at 3 to 4 mph for 60 seconds, which is a fast walk. The second interval level should be set at 5 to 6.5 for 60 seconds, which is a light to medium paced jog. Obviously, depending on your fitness level these numbers should be adjusted. Also, as your fitness level increases you should be increasing the speed to stay in the optimal fat burning range, which is 20% to 50%, V02 max. Depending on your fitness training program you can either add 15-20 minutes of cardio interval training on at the end of your work out or do cardio on a separate day for 30-40 minutes.a

Losing Weight While Pregnant

Article by Aldrich Alfred









These days it’s easy to get sucked into the media’s image of what a mum-to-be should look like, what with all these celebrity toothpicks, as I like to call them, having no more than a small bump, whilst being on some faddy diet. I must stress that pregnancy is definitely not the time to be going on a strict weight loss diet. What you need is to ascertain what a suitable pregnancy weight is for you, and then take steps to try to maintain it and increase your health and the health of your baby.

However, it is possible to lose some of this weight while pregnant and not be so embarrassed. While losing weight while pregnant is not going to give you a model body it can slim you down a little bit and just make you feel better. If you want to lose weight during pregnancy then you must eat healthy. This is not only good for yourself but it will also make your child prosper because you will provide him with a large amount of the proper nutrients.

Start eating healthy foods and eliminate most of the processed foods in your kitchen. For instance, cut down on things made with white flour, and instead, stock up on foods from whole wheat or whole grain.Stick with fruits for dessert, and add vegetables in every meal. This is a simple trick to get your nutrients and vitamins in and lose weight daily.

Eat Five to Six Meals: eat small portion meals five to six times a day. During pregnancy this is great because your bladder can’t handle much since your uterus is bigger, same goes for your stomach.Thus eating small 5-6 meals a day is much more healthier and keeps you energized.

Weight is not the healthy and beautiful pregnant woman’s #1 worry. She’s sure of herself and she knows the most important thing to her is eating healthy foods. This is her primary aim. This is a characteristic you should start expressing as well if you are pregnant.

Much fat in the linings on the system especially the pregnant women can cause serious havoc. These fats are like magnet which can obstruct the free flow of blood on the system thereby lowering the rate of burning fat. When this is done, you become weak and start to gain weight because of inactivity.

Don’t be too alarmed if you feel inadequate or incapable of responsibly knowing what to do while pregnant, and how to handle any issues or problems which may pop up throughout these nine ‘trying’ months in your eyes.Unless you’re someone who likes to have total control over your life, these feelings of inadequacy are more than normal and you can rest assured that there is a reliable tool or resource that’s easy and convenient to put your hands on and it’s only a finger press away.

Cutting all sugary foods for 7 days will not only make you much more healthier, but it will change your mood dramatically. It will lessen the occurrence of high blood pressure. And yes, it will also lessen the sugary cravings.Give yourself 7 days and your cravings will change for the entire pregnancy.

There are a few things better than swimming for a pregnant women to lose the weight AND to maintain her fitness level. Swimming incorporates the movement of your entire body without straining any of your joints or your back. In addition to the fun factor for swimming lovers, it actually helps a lot with losing weight AND tones your body very nicely.

Although you probably think you are retaining too much water already from the pregnancy, it is actually all the more reason to drink more water. The water that is retained unnecessarily is due to the fact that your body thinks that it is not getting enough water and should store it up instead of let it go.

Type of Diet For Losing Weight Fast

Article by Arlen Arron









The popular dieting schedules call for low carbohydrate foods, low fat food and starving. These diets are not set to work very well. The first loss of weight you undergo might be due to water removal from your system. The diet guides available are too constricting, and cannot be sustained for a long period of time and make your life miserable.

If you are big lover of burgers and French fries then you should forget them for a while as these are what not to eat on a diet. You should completely cut them out from your diet in order to lose weight smoothly. You can eat home cooked meals that are more balanced and proper for losing weight.

The Vilcabambas are one such group. But there are others. They certainly have many secrets. It would be foolish to thing that just a single one can explain their unsurpassed health. Are they perfect? Absolutely not. Truth is… they have problems just like anyone else. But there’s no doubting the fact that these men and women are some of the leanest, healthiest people on earth. That obesity is virtually non-existent. And among all their secrets.

My friend, I have gone on more different types of diets that I care to even remember! I’ve tried them all: Low carb, low fat, low calorie, starve-yourself, drink lemonade, etc. You know what? All those types of diets ever did for me was cause me stomach pains, I had no energy (which was a major problem due to the type of work I did).

Everyone has their own take on what the best diet for losing weight is. That’s because different diets work in different ways, depending on the individual. While one diet may work great for one person, and help them to lose a great deal of weight, another person on the same diet may lose nothing at all.

This type of dieting made me miserable, I lost energy, and wound up constipated on a regular basis. Why is that? Well, with most low carb diets, they want you to restrict ALL carbs… including fiber. This is a huge issue given that complex carbs (fiber) are actually needed in order to get great results!

The Calorie Shifting Diet is a simple and effective diet that almost anyone can follow. As the name suggests, the basic premise of this diet is to shift your calorie intake every now and then. However, you cannot start this diet without starting first on a diet that carefully takes into account your calorie intake on a daily basis. That’s right! If you want to go on a Calorie Shifting Diet, you must first go on a diet wherein you meticulously measure your calorie intake everyday for at least 4 weeks.

The South Beach program is not a low carb diet in the same sense as Atkins. The essence of this diet is to eat the right carbs and the right fats while eating three balanced meals a day.

You may have heard that the best way to lose weight is to drink lots of water. This is because water helps remove the waste and toxins out of your body. So remember to drink 6 – 8 glasses of water in a day. Water also lets you feel full, so you don’t keep eating. If you think that you feel hungry just after you finished a meal or had a snack, try and drink water. It will help you reduce the hunger.

After two weeks, the dieter is now ready to move on to the second phase which involves particular diet plans and recipes. In this stage, people who follow this diet are confronted with regular foods that will be part of their meal plans. Normally, these are the prohibited foods in the first phase. However, the amount of foods reintroduced is restricted.

Losing Weight After Menopause – Weight Loss And Menopause Made Easy!

Losing Weight After Menopause – Weight Loss And Menopause Made Easy!

Many women I speak with at first believe that losing weight after menopause is for ‘other women’ who are just not normal and have been skinny as a rail all of their lives.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

In fact weight gain and weight loss are normal body functions for all women like you unless you have a medical condition that prevents your body from regulating it’s weight naturally.

Menopause is a phase of life all women will experience at some point and men also have their ‘menopause’ and essentially we all experience a sort of ‘puberty in reverse.’ Weight gain is natural at this time in your life and releasing that weight is also quite natural.

During menopause you begin to deplete hormones that have been with you for quite some time.

A drop in Estrogen means the body will work harder to convert calories to fat where it can get more of this hormone – eventually it will stop doing that but until then weight gain during menopause is normal.

Your Progesterone will drop signaling your body to retain sodium and subsequently retain more water. Water weight can be very uncomfortable.

Your Testosterone will drop which will slow your metabolism and cause lean muscle to soften.

But don’t give up!

Weight loss and menopause is normal.

Your body strives to maintain it’s ideal weight naturally and so by creating the conditions whereby your body is working at its best, you will not only lose weight after menopause but this will become a permanent condition of weight loss.

Dieting is not the answer!

Normally people turn to the first ‘diet’ promise they come across when the strong impulse to lose weight strikes them.

Low carb diets     
No carb diets (Starvation based)     
Herbal Cleanses     
Point Counting   (Deprivation) Diets     
Drink Water before your meals     
Appetite Suppressor pills and potions…     
Even Radical Stomach Surgeries! 

  

None of this works for everyone for very long.

98% of people who turn to ‘dieting’ for their weight loss needs FAIL within 2 years. I’ve had this experience more than once. My wife also has.  Our friends also have…

These statistics are grim at best.

This is important because if you want to lose weight don’t you want to keep it off and not have to think about it?

Consider how it would be to-

1) lose weight permanently.

2) Never needing to diet.

3) Lose all food cravings which aren’t even normal in the first place.

 
Of course this sounds terrific and makes the most sense and by slightly modifying your lifestyle you can create the conditions that allow your body to experience normal weight balance. Even during and especially after menopause.

Here are 3 suggestions to begin introducing quick and natural weight loss into your life.

Choose low glycemic meals
Exercise moderately
Take high quality nutritional supplementation

Not only will you be choosing foods that promote weight loss in menopause, by avoiding highly processed carbohydrates you will eliminate food cravings and this is where ALL diets fail.
