Weight Loss

The most important picture you will ever change in your subconscious mind is the picture you now have of yourself right now. You will start with this image. You will start recreating your subconscious imagery by recreating your existing body picture. Before starting your imagery training, it is important that you become totally relaxed in order to focus your mind. Once you have accomplished this, you will find it is quite easy to engage all of your senses, making it possible for you to create a new body image. Once you feel you are completely relaxed, I want you to see a picture of your body in your subconscious mind. When you have your body in focus, I want you to reshape it, to exactly how you want it to look. See your new body down to the smallest detail; make it become so real that it seems that you have already accomplished your weight goal. Once you have your new body picture completed, place yourself in a physical activity that you know you would enjoy and will be beneficial in ...

It may seem like a “contradiction” to suggest that eating “more often” is the answer to getting slimmer, but in reality the idea of eating more often is the only way to speed up weight loss. Everybody understands what a calorie is -- and everybody “knows” that the best way to lose weight is to begin eating fewer calories per day. Right? Well, not so fast... The problem with this way of thinking is that the human body does not burn calories based on a “24 hour day.” In fact, the 24 hour day is just an arbitrary interval of time, and it has no bearing on how your body burns calories. You see, the human body burns calories in “real time” -- or in other words it burns calories as you eat them (it does not burn calories based on a 24 hour day). This means that your daily caloric intake is almost meaningless when viewed all by itself. For example, let’s take a typical dieter who skips breakfast, but who then eats 900 calories for lunch, 900 calories for dinner and 300 calories for a late ni...

One way to lose weight is to just stop eating. It sounds simple but in reality you have to know what you are doing to get any long term weight loss benefits from fasting. Let’s look at the weakness and strengths of fasting for weight loss. Like most forms of dieting, fasting can be used to bring about dramatic but temporary reductions of weight. You can go on a long fast, taking nothing but juice or eating grapes or taking some other low calorie meal substitute for several weeks, and while you are on the fast you will certainly lose weight. However, during the fast you may not be able to carry on your normal social interactions. It’s not so easy to sit around sipping carrot juice while the rest of your family is eating a normal meal. Another problem with long fasting is that your body requires vital nutrients (vitamins, minerals, protein) and your favorite juice may not contain them. Long fasting without proper medical supervision can be dangerous. Finally, a major problem with this ki...

A healthy lifestyle involves important components such as consuming foods low in saturated fat and cholesterol. Foods containing soy protein are also a healthy alternative to meats and other animal products. Soy foods contain no cholesterol and they protect against heart disease and cancer. Soy foods also provide high-quality, complete protein, shown to increase satiety, the feeling of fullness. Soy foods are crunchy, tasty, flavorful and less in calories and fats. Hence they make a healthy component of a weight loss program. Weight-loss drugs are effective only if used in combination with a healthy diet and regular physical activity and are not miracle drugs.

These drugs work in a variety of ways but mainly they boost the individual’s metabolism. Weight loss drugs can be modestly effective, and enhance weight loss but medication does not work for everyone. Presc...

They also want to have a pleasant, alluring personality and attitude. Of course, to make it complete, women want to be in good health.

No wonder, even Hollywood's glamorous women find it a requirement to have shapely curves especially during a photo shoot or during the Awards Night. So, what is a woman to think, if she weighs around 180 pounds and above? Of course, the poor lady would have to think of an easy way out of being called “big” or “fat”.
