  • If You Are What You Eat I'm A Super Sized Bag Of Potato Chips
    We have probably all heard that you are what you eat. It is true. It is pretty hard for your body to keep you healthy and running in tip top shape if you aren’t giving it the nutrients it needs. If you don't take care of your vehicle, it won't run very well and will eventually leave you stranded on the side of the road. It's the same with your body. If the only thing you feed it is junk food like potato chips, soft drinks, sugary foods, and fast food, it won't take long for y...
  • How A Dog Helps You Lose Weight
    If you are one of those people that find it hard to motivate yourself to exercise like you should, enlist the help of your furry four legged friend, your dog.

    Dogs love to go for walks. Even if you are not feeling motivated and up to a daily walk, your dog is still more than happy to follow you around with those puppy dog eyes waiting for you to give in and go.

    At our dog's last vet visit, we were told our dog needed to lose a few pounds and were asked about how much ex...
  • Walking To Lose Weight
    Can walking help a person lose weight? There is conflicting information about whether or not walking can help a person lose weight. Any exercise is better than none and will not only help with weight loss efforts, but will also help a person attain better health and more stamina.

    The “Naysayers”
    There are people who are negative about the benefits of walking to lose weight. A fitness center I once belonged to (for a very short time) told me I would never lose any weight b...
  • Can I Eat More And Weigh Less?
    It depends what you are eating more of.

    If you are eating more fresh vegetables and less chocolate brownies and nachos, then yes; you certainly can eat more and weigh less.

    You may have seen article titles such as "Have More Food and Lose Weight," or Eat More and Weigh Less" and thought, "Yeah, sure." I've thought that because I never thought I could eat more and lose weight. But that's because I always thought in terms of calories rather than in terms of volume of food...
  • It Takes Too Much Time To Eat Healthy And Lose Weight
    Is that your excuse for not eating healthy and losing those extra pounds you've packed on? Do you think that eating healthy means you have to spend all day Sunday in your kitchen prepping fresh vegetables and putting them in single serve baggies so you have food to eat the rest of the week?

    While I agree you could easily spend half a day in the kitchen cutting up fresh vegetables for the entire week if you wanted to, there are other options that aren't such a drain on you...
  • Can I Eat Some Fast Food And Still Lose Weight?
    Because there is so much fast food out there that is loaded with fat, lots of sodium, and is high in calories, many people believe the only way to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight is to stay away from fast food restaurants.

    Yes, it is true that a fast food meal that includes a burger, fries, and a soft drink is not healthy and has too many calories in it. But there are fast food options that are healthy and okay to have. Here's one way to think of it. Most weight l...
  • Once You Lose The Weight How Do You Keep It Off?
    Statistics show that the only 10 percent of people who successfully lose weight go on to successfully keep that weight off for a year or more.

Have can you be on the 10 percent who keeps the weight off and not one of the 90 percent who gains it back?

    Here are tips and strategies from people who have successfully kept weight off for more than a year.

  • Are You Really Ready To Lose Weight?
    Well, are you?

    Do you constantly think about losing those excess pounds you’re carrying around?

    Do you go on the latest diet you read about online or in the latest magazine for a few weeks but then give up?

    Do read everything you can about dieting, weight loss, and exercise, but never do anything about it?

    Are you always on a diet but never really getting anywhere with reaching your goals?

    If this sounds like you, maybe you aren’t ready to lose weight. That may...
