It’s amazing to me the number of weight loss/ fitness gimmicks that are out there and even more amazing that people spend so much money on them. People talk about the secrets of weight loss, well the secret is, there is no secret nutrient, no magic pill or miraculous piece of equipment. Good nutrition is just not that difficult. If it were we would have died off a long time ago. I see in magazines, on the Internet and on t.v. programs that are basically…

Obesity is one of the biggest health challenges we face nowadays. Almost 1 in 4 adults in England are currently obese and the experts predict that if we do not do anything about it three-quarters of the population could suffer the ill effects of excess weight within the next 10 to 15 years.

The problem is growing rapidly and the costs are soaring. The NHS estimated cost to treat obese and overweight individuals is around £4.2 billion and is…

The principle of Dukan Diet, also called Protal Diet, is to fight obesity by eating lean protein and reducing carbohydrates and lipids until desired weight loss is achieved. This plan does not provide quantitative restrictions, but only qualitative restrictions.

Furthermore, proteins are…

Weight reduction is something that many if not all are concerned. With the skyrocketing population of folk dying of a number of medical problems that is why most of us now are getting into the hype of weight reduction and at the same time to fitness.

However, how would you know if a weight loss program actually works? Like every other products, you may just know if it is efficient or not after you attempted it for a number of days. If it won’t…

Today let's talk a little about carbs. As you hopefully know by now, carbs are not the enemy. You just need to choose the right kinds, at the right time of day.

People are often surprised at how simple it is: choose natural carbs over processed (man-made) carbs.

That is, anything picked from the ground or the tree is natural, such as fruits and veggies, potatoes and yams, beans, brown rice, oats, etc. And anything processed…

Many people ask me if weight loss is affected by alcohol. A couple drinks on the weekend and or on special occasions probably won't have any major impact on your fat loss results (although I would encourage you to consider the mind set that EVERYTHING you do either helps or hurts).

A drink or two on occasions is a part of enjoying life for many people, and it's important to find lifestyle balance for the sake of your long term happiness and…

Three universal goals most of us share are: to live longer, to live free of illness and to control our weight. Interesting enough, normal walking lets us achieve all three.



In fact, walking may be man's best medicine for slowing the aging process. First, it works almost every muscle in the body, improving circulation to the joints and massaging the blood vessels (keeping them more elastic). Walking also helps us maintain both our muscle mass and…

Natural Pain Relief and Home business Success

You have to read this story about Tula Savisky. These testimonies just fire off my jets and launch me into another mission orbit. I love hearing how people are having life transformations with TriVita.

Tula joined TriVita in December 2008, not thinking she was going to make a lot of money, but in hopes that TriVita would be different than her past business experiences. Someone she knew in an online community referred…

Today I thought I'd take a moment to explain the importance of protein and its role in fat loss.

It's very important to balance ALL meals and snacks with carb-rich and protein-rich foods together. A meal with carbohydrates alone is problematic

because glucose levels shoot up and then crash down. This can leave you

feeling tired, hungry, and weak - and gives your body an easy opportunity

to convert that meal to…

There is no sense in sitting around on that couch and being jealous of everyone else because you are feeling insecure. Here…

First off what is clean eating? Clean eating is supplying your body with the nutrients it needs, while trying to eat more healthy foods such as; fruits, vegetables, lean…

Phone books, like the White and Yellow Pages, can be a great resource when you need to find a person, address, or company. But what happens when you don’t have a name to look up? After all, when a name is the information you seek, a…

For the most part, people do not care about their health until they have lost it. In the meantime, almost everyone hires a personal trainer for one reason: They want to look better naked. Some club owners and personal trainers have a problem with that. That’s fine. But these same clubs and trainers are usually the ones who are struggling to make ends meet.

There is a reason that diets, diet pills, miracle potions and the like sell so well — they…

There are certain things about weight loss products that don’t quite ring true with the average dieter. For one, the monotony on the claims made by the manufacturers of weight loss products is quite obvious. It’s no longer unique to hear a weight loss product boast of its ability to boost the energy while eliminating the fat. And what’s worse, most of these claims are not true, anyway. They are just made in an effort to promote the products sold in the…
