Winning the Weight Loss Game

Lasting, healthy weight loss is really a numbers game. Take in fewer calories and burn more. If you want a better looking, slimmer body shape - toss in some daily exercise!

Losing weight, gaining weight or maintaining your weight depends on the amount of calories you take in and use up during the day, otherwise referred to as energy balance. Learning how to balance energy intake (calories in food) with energy output (calories expended through physical activity) will help you achieve your desired weight.

Although the underlying causes and the treatments of obesity are complex, the concept of energy balance is relatively simple. If you eat more calories than your body needs to perform your day's activities, the extra calories are stored as fat. If you do not take in enough calories to meet your body's energy needs, your body will go to the stored fat to make up the difference. (Exercise helps ensure that stored fat, rather than muscle tissue, is used to meet your energy needs.) If you eat just about the same amount of calories to meet your body's energy needs, your weight will stay the same.

All too often, those of us who want to lose weight concentrate on counting calories. Its too easy to overlook the calories we use up - or burn. Health experts agree - the quickest way to lose weight is the combination of eating healthy and daily exercise. By increasing your daily physical activity and decreasing your caloric input you can lose excess weight in the most efficient and healthy way!

Adding just 15 minutes of moderate exercise, say walking one mile, to your daily routine will burn or use up 100 extra calories per day. (Your body uses up or burns approximately 100 calories of energy to walk one mile, depending on your body weight.) A daily 15 minute walk could result in an extra 700 calories per week used up, or a loss of about 10 pounds in one year, assuming your food intake stays the same.

To look at energy balance another way, just one extra slice of bread or one extra soft drink a day – or any other food that contains approximately 100 calories – can add up to ten extra pounds in a year if the amount of physical activity you do does not increase. If you want better results - start today. Enjoy eating healthy foods, exercise and lose weight fast!

Start Simple - Lose Those Extra Inches

TV ads urge you to sculpt 6-pack abs in no time. Magic pills offer near instant relief from years of inactivity and the jelly roll appearing around so many mid-sections. ( Spoken from real-life, first hand experience! ) Years of eating sugary sweet tasting junk food have enabled many to add an inch or two around the waist.

If you're like many of us you've seen for yourself how easy it is to skip the workout and get just another hour in at work or watch another hour of TV. Well, don't fret - you can have that slim and sexy look you once had. You really can enjoy eating a wide variety of healthy foods, exercise daily and lose fat - for good!

Keys to A Healthy Life

Here's a healthy goal for anyone: sweat every day; not a mere perspiration, but a good, old-fashioned sweat.

If you're tired of the gym, try a fun alternative. Start with walking and shed around 240 calories per hour at a moderate pace. Pick up the pace and torch off even more unwanted pounds! Try something new. Ballet or swimming laps burns around 422 calories each hour. Not into wearing tights? Get on your bicycle and burn 275 calories per hour!

Take a break. You may burn more fat when you break an hour long workout into two 30-minute sessions. Give yourself a 15 or 20-minute rest in between and the boost may continue after you exercise. Keeping well-hydrated and replacing fluids lost
during exercise is also a key part of feeling good and getting the most out of your workout.

Get your hands dirty. Gardening gives you as much of a workout as walking or golf, a recent study reported. Plus: The weight-bearing motions involved in digging and pulling weeds can strengthen bones and muscle.

Get out your mp3 player and exercise to music. Research shows that listening to your favorite tunes while working out help keep you going up to 10 or 15 percent longer!

Want to live a healthy life? Maybe hoping to drop a few pounds? Two vital keys are keeping energy intake (food) and energy output (physical activity) in balance. When you consume only as many calories as your body needs, your weight will usually remain constant. If you take in more calories than your body needs, you will put on excess fat. If you expend more energy than you take in you will burn excess fat.

Exercise plays an important role in weight control by increasing your energy output, calling on stored calories for extra fuel. Recent studies show that not only does exercise increase metabolism during a workout, but it causes your metabolism to stay increased for a period of time after exercising, allowing you to burn off even more calories! You really can exercise and lose weight fast!

Look and Feel Years Younger

"What we think or what we know or what we believe is, in the end, of little consequence. The only consequence is what we do" John Ruskin

If you already have a lean figure and want to keep it that way regular exercise and a balanced diet should keep you looking fit and trim!

If you are like the millions of Americans who would like to lose a few pounds - the best way to lose your belly fat or drop a few pounds is with regular vigorous exercise. Eating healthy foods is vital to losing your belly and keeping the weight off. You'll feel years younger and look it too!

Remarkable - even miraculous - claims have been made for a variety of "crash" diets and diet pills. And some of these very restricted diets do result in noticeable weight loss in a short time. Much of this loss is water and such a loss is quickly regained when normal food and liquid intake is resumed. These diet plans are often expensive and may be dangerous.

Most of these Miracle Weight Loss remedies do not emphasize lifestyle changes that will help you maintain your desired weight. Dieting alone will result in a loss of valuable body tissue such as muscle mass in addition to a loss in fat.

In addition to a regular exercise routine, many healthy fitness buffs enjoy sneaking in extra physical activity each day. Simple changes in your habits can yield awesome results! How can you increase the amount of physical activity in your daily routine to supplement your exercise program?

Recreational and social activities like gardening on weekends, bowling in the office league, family outings, an evening of social dancing, and many other activities provide added exercise. They are fun and can be considered an extra bonus in your weight control campaign.

Add more "action" to your day. Walk to the neighborhood grocery store instead of using the car. Park several blocks from the office and walk the rest of the way. Walk up the stairs instead of using the elevator; start with one flight of steps and gradually increase.

Change your attitude toward movement. Instead of considering an extra little walk or trip to the files an annoyance, look upon it as an added fitness boost. Look for opportunities to use your body. Bend, stretch, reach, move, lift and carry. Time-saving devices and gadgets eliminate drudgery and are a bonus to mankind, but when they substitute too often for physical activity they can demand a high cost in health, vigor and fitness.

These little bits of action are cumulative in their effects. Alone, each does not burn a huge amount of calories. But when added together they can result in a sizable amount of energy used over the course of the day. And they will help improve your muscle tone and flexibility at the same time.

The benefits of exercise are numerous - from producing physically fit bodies to providing an outlet for fun! Life is short - why not enjoy it more in a healthy and trim body? You can look and feel years younger when you exercise regularly and keep eating healthy foods!

If you're a little over-weight ( or a lot ) start today! Join the millions healthy folks who've found you can exercise and lose weight fast!

Healthy Children

The benefits of better health and fitness start at an early age.

Healthy children are more likely to develop into healthy adults. Playing sports and regular physical activity can reduce your childrens’ risk of many of the chronic diseases of adulthood. Student athletes do better academically and have lower school drop-out rates than their nonathletic counterparts. Frequent regular physical activity can enhance childrens’ mental health, reducing symptoms of stress and depression and improve their self-esteem.

Physical activity and exercise have been clinically proven to enhance your mood and reduce anxiety. Playing sports and getting regular exercise act as a natural, cost-effective intervention for the mental health of adolescents. Numerous authors have documented a combination of psychosocial benefits such as self-confidence, self-esteem, higher energy levels and positive body image. It is important to note that these gains appear to be influenced by interactions with parents, who can either encourage or dampen a child’s interest and involvement in sports.

The benefits for our growing daughters are especially important.

Researchers found that the more days adolescent females exercised per week, the more likely they were to postpone their first experience with sexual intercourse. Second, preliminary analysis from a study of adolescents from western New York (an area with one of the highest rates of adolescent pregnancy in the United States) indicated that higher rates of athletic participation among adolescent females were significantly associated with lower rates of both sexual activity and pregnancy (Sabo, Farrell, Melnick, & Barnes, 1996).

What can we - as parents - do to encourage our little loved ones to join in the fun? Lead by example is one vital step. Second - encourage our childrens' teachers and school administrators. Girls and boys need to work and play together, starting from an early age. It is often easier for both sexes to play together and learn in small, relaxed groups where children know each other well.

Sports and physical activity can serve as a social and cultural intersection where adolescents, parents and caring adults can come together in mutually supportive ways. The swimming pool, or basketball court are safety zones where our children can hang out together and have fun in a healthy environment. Sports can help our youth test and challenge themselves, learn about competition, develop physical endurance, strength and flexibility, and have fun all at the same time.

Healthy children can grow up to be well balanced, happy and healthy adults!

Take Care of Your Heart

More baby-boomers are becoming aware that they are at risk of heart disease, which is the crucial first step. Even better, more women are also taking heart-healthy action. If you haven’t already joined this growing trend of heart-savvy people, now is the time to start. Urge your children and other family members to join you in your efforts to lower your risk of heart disease.

Moderate drinkers are less likely to develop heart disease than people who don’t drink any alcohol or who drink too much. Red wine drinkers in particular seem to be protected to some degree against heart disease. Red wine contains flavonoids which are thought to prevent plaque buildup. Red grapes, berries, apples, and broccoli also contain flavonoids.

Enjoy a heart healthy diet eating healthy foods!

• stresses low-cholesterol foods that are good for your heart, such as fruits and vegetables;
whole-grain breads and other foods; low-fat (1 percent) or fat-free milk and
dairy products; nuts, seeds, and beans; and moderate amounts of skinless poultry
and fish*
• is rich in magnesium, potassium, calcium, protein, and fiber
• is low in saturated fat, trans fat, and total fat
• limits red meat, sweets, and sugary drinks
*Oily fish like salmon, herring, and tuna contain omega-3 fatty acids, which have
been shown to reduce your risk of dying of heart disease

Exercise is critical to a healthy heart. If you haven't been too active for a while - start slow. Get up and get some form of exercise at least four days a week! Millions of healthy folks - just like you and me - enjoy a daily walk! Walking is free, and an excellent way to burn calories and lower your stress levels after a hectic day! ( Try an early morning walk during these hot Summer months - you'll enjoy the cooler temps and the quiet sounds of early morning! )

If you are a few pounds over-weight start today! You can exercise and lose weight fast! You can enjoy life more and have loads more energy and fun! Start eating healthy foods and the burn those calories and get rid of that belly! Build muscles and watch your waistline shrink!

Living heart healthy takes effort. But the rewards can mean a healthier, longer life for you and your loved ones!

Keep Eating Healthy Foods and Exercise Daily

You are what you eat may be more truth than many of us ever imagined!

If you already have a lean figure and want to keep it you should exercise regularly and eat a balanced diet that provides enough calories to make up for the energy you expend. If you wish to gain weight you should exercise regularly and increase the number of calories you consume until you reach your desired weight. Exercise will help ensure that the weight you gain will be lean muscle mass, not extra fat.

The Diet

A balanced diet is an integral part of any weight control plan. For the best results a diet high in complex carbohydrates and moderate in protein and fat will be a healthy complement to any exercise program. It should include enough calories to satisfy your daily nutrient requirements and include the proper number of servings per day from the "basic four food groups": vegetables and fruits (4 servings), breads and cereals (4 servings), milk and milk products (2 - 4 depending on age) and meats and fish (2).

Health experts recommend that your daily calories stay above 1200 calories unless you are under a doctor's supervision. For healthy, lasting weight loss your weekly weight loss should not exceed two pounds.

Remarkable - even miraculous - claims have been made for a variety of "crash" diets and diet pills. And some of these very restricted diets do result in noticeable weight loss in a short time. All too often all you lose is water and such a loss is quickly regained when normal food and liquid intake is resumed. These diet plans are often expensive and may be dangerous. Moreover, they usually fail to emphasize lifestyle changes that will help you maintain your desired weight. Dieting alone will result in a loss of valuable body tissue such as muscle mass in addition to a loss in fat.

Adding 15 minutes of moderate exercise, say walking one mile, to your daily schedule will use up 100 extra calories per day. (Your body uses approximately 100 calories of energy to walk one mile, depending on your body weight.) Maintaining this schedule would result in an extra 700 calories per week used up, or a loss of about 10 pounds in one year, assuming your food intake stays the same. To look at energy balance another way, just one extra slice of bread or one extra soft drink a day – or any other food that contains approximately 100 calories – can add up to ten extra pounds in a year!

Medical experts agree - the quickest way to lose weight is with plenty of exercise and eating healthy foods in
moderation! You can enjoy eating healthy, exercise daily and lose weight fast!

Dieting is Easier When You Love the Food. Delicious meals shipped to your door. It's a proven strategy that works!

Eat Healthy for Better Fitness

Eating healthy is vital to your fitness plan. The most important thing is to concentrate on eating a nutritious, balanced diet every day. This provides plenty of energy to grow and exercise. Here are a few tips about eating before, during and after exercise.

Before

* Enjoy some high carbohydrate foods like bananas, bagels or fruit juices. These foods are broken down quickly and provide glucose to the muscles.
* The timing of this meal depends on athletes' preference for eating before exercise, but researchers have found that eating something from 1 to 4 hours before exercise helps keep plenty of blood glucose available for working muscles.
* It is also really important to drink plenty of cool water before exercise to keep muscles hydrated.

During

* Perspiration and exertion deplete the body of fluids necessary for an optimal performance and lead to dehydration. It is important to drink plenty of cool water, at least a half a cup of water every 20 minutes of exercise. Adding a teaspoon of sugar, a little fruit juice or a small amount of powdered drink mix flavors plain water and may encourage fluid intake.
* Usually there is no need to worry about replacing carbohydrates unless the exercise lasts over 90 minutes and is hard and continuous. When this happens, drinking a sports drink or other beverage with some sugar in it will fuel and water to the muscles being exercised.
* Make a homemade sports drink by mixing no more than 4 teaspoon of sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of salt and some flavoring (like a teaspoon of lemon juice) in 8 ounces of water.

After

If your workout was strenuous and lasted a long time, your glycogen stores may need refueling. Consuming foods and beverages high in carbohydrates right after exercise will replenish glycogen stores if they are low after exercising.

No matter the intensity of the exercise, it's important to drink plenty of water and eat a nutritious, balanced meal that has lots of carbohydrate rich foods like whole grains, pastas, potatoes, vegetables and fresh fruits!

If you want better health and fitness - today is the perfect day to do something on your journey to a healthier, sexier body! You can shed those hard to lose pounds with strenuous exercise and a healthy eating plan. Why wait? Start today!

Losing weight is a numbers game. If you consume 100 calories a day more than your body needs, you will gain approximately 10 pounds in a year. The good news is - you can flip that equation and burn off 100 calories more than you eat!

Exercise in almost any form helps you take that weight off, and then - keep it off. Just by doing 30 minutes of moderate exercise daily. A nice, brisk paced walk. Mix in some jogging. Ride your bike.

Eating healthy foods - in moderation - is vital to losing weight and keeping it off! The combination of exercise and diet offers the most flexible and effective approach to weight control.

Aerobic exercises use the body's large muscle groups in continuous, rhythmic, sustained movement and require oxygen for the production of energy. When oxygen is combined with food (which can come from stored fat) energy is produced to power the body's musculature. The longer you exercise, the more energy needed and the more calories are burned.

Daily aerobic exercise improves the ability of your heart and lungs to use oxygen and produce energy. Daily aerobic exercise builds a healthier body and gets rid of excess body fat. The best way to lose that belly fat is with daily exercise!

If you want to build a leaner, sexier body - supplement your exercise program with muscle strengthening and stretching exercises. Stronger muscles last longer. They can keep going during aerobic activity, and reduce the chance of injury. One excellent workout to help take off the pounds and strengthen your mid-section is rowing!
