  • 5 Simple Ways To Lose Weight  By : Joey Dweck
    Losing unwanted body weight does not have to involve prolonged workout sessions at the gym or self-defeating fad diet regimens. In fact, most people find that without a sustained lifestyle change, any weight that is lost during a period of diet or extreme exercise is gained back once the activity is no longer practiced.

    If you would like to lose pounds and keep them off, then you need to invest in a lifestyle adjustment. By altering only a few important patterns in your di...
  • This Ruins Most Diets  By : Marc David
    Just a few weeks ago I received a message from a frustrated individual who was on a quest to lose some weight. Maybe you've asked yourself this very question but it always starts off with "I want to lose weight." Then it follows up with their calorie calculations and ends with the situation where they are only eating minimal calories a day. At this point, they get confused as to why eating less and less doesn't speed up the weight loss.
  • Weight Loss Secrets  By : Brad Howard

  • Weight Loss And The Theory Of Constraints  By : Jim Bolding
    It's always been fascinating to me how business, finance and weight loss parallel one another.

    Take a personal bank account for instance. If you add more to it than you take out of it, your account will grow bigger and bigger. The same is true with your body. If you put more into it through eating than you take out of it through activity it will grow bigger and bigger. That's a simple truth isn't it?

    What about a business? If a business owner doesn't watch his busines...
  • Faster and Healthier Weight Loss. Do you want to look better, feel better, and have less body fat?  By : Rafael B.
    If you're interested in losing weight and for that matter fat (we do not want to lose protein) off your body, you will have to create a caloric deficit everyday.

  • Weight Loss Diary 11  By : David McCarthy
    From March 11 thru 17

    Back to reality this week with the shock news that my weight did not go down enough to report; probably no more than a few ounces (around 50 grams). Hence I’m sad to report that my weight still stands at 188 pounds (93 kilos). I guess I became a little too complacent after the better than expected results of the previous few weeks. This raises the big question of who, or what, is to blame?

    As I live by the rule that I am responsible for all that go...
  • Are Meal Replacements A Good Idea For Weight Loss?  By : Rene Graeber
    Think about the number one reasons why people are overweight nowadays. Overweight people fall into one of two different categories.

    Either they have an unhealthy lifestyle – working long hours, eating out all the time, not getting enough exercise – or they simply eat too much, often in a compulsive way.

    This type of eating – eating when one isn’t hungry, for example, or eating for emotional reasons rather than physical hunger – is really a type of addiction. It should...

  • Addressing The Fears And Feelings Associated With Weight Loss  By : Dr. Fit, Sidney E. Reeves, CFT
    It seems a little strange that losing weight can entice feelings of fear. Fear doesn’t seem to have a place in such a constructive process. Usually weight loss is associated with both positive and negative feelings. The positive feelings are more obvious and understandable. You’re feeling better, have more energy, look better, fit in nicer clothes, etc. However, are you aware that negative feelings about your life changing process are also normal?

  • Weight Loss Diets - A Review Of 4 Popular Diets  By : Baymaster
    There are a number of diets available, but here I review four which are popular at the moment.

    1000 calorie diet

The 1000 calorie diet can be used as a starter diet for a long term weight loss progra...

  • Weight Loss Diary 13  By : David McCarthy
    From 25 thru 1 April.

    This weeks weight loss diary could be the penultimate because after my Friday weigh-in I am down to 182.5 pounds (90.3 kilograms), just 2.5 pounds above my target figure. Last week I reported 186 pounds (92 kilo’s) but the scales were just below that figure so I guess I have shed a little over 3 pounds this week. That is way too much to lose in one week. A general target rule is1 pound each week if you want to keep it off, 3 is much too high.
