Most of the stuff you have read about fat loss and how to get that flat stomach, or six pack you always wanted, is either wrong or simply impossible to implement. Lots of it is just empty words used to fill magazines, or to help sell some product. That's not what I'm going to offer you. There is no pitch to some weight loss product at the end of this article. What I'm going to talk about works, period.

The first thing you have to understand is that... guess what? Cardio is mostly a waste of time. When you do cardio (especially if you do lots of it), your body will try to compensate by being less active the rest of the day, and being hungrier. This will make it harder for you to stick to a diet. Cardio also harms muscle growth, and muscles are your number 1 friend for fat loss. That's because they burn calories even when you are not using them. So let's start by dropping cardio from our flat tummy plan. Well actually, the first thing you have to understand is that to get rid of fat around your stomach, you have to get rid of fat overall, but you probably already knew that, didn't you? Either way, you know it now.

You still need to have a calorie deficit to burn fat. How do you do that without cardio? Well, for starters... you have to eat less. The big problem here is this: people tell you to eat every couple of hours, which in addition to being a huge pain in the ass, makes you eat very small, unsatisfying meals. They say skipping meals is a horrible sin that will make you fat... it's not. It's what you should do. It's called intermittent fasting and it works. What you do is pick a window of time during the day, from 4 to 8 hours long, during which you can eat. You only eat within this window, the rest of the day you stay in fasting. You can drink water (no sugary drinks though), but you can't actually eat stuff. Your body will adjust to this, and won't make you hungry all the time. It will learn that you eat at a specific time, and only bring the sensation of hunger at around that time. You'll need to limit your daily calories to between 1,000 and 1,500, but that is a lot easier to do when you can put all those calories in one or two big, satisfying meals.

Because at the end of the day, what really makes or breaks a fat loss regimen is not if it would technically work or not, it's if you stick to it or not.

Doesn't matter if you want to [http://lonewolflife.com/blog/how-to-go-from-fat-to-shredded/]get shredded or have more [http://lonewolflife.com/blog/how-to-go-from-fat-to-shredded/]modest fat loss goals, using a combination of calorie restriction, strength training and intermittent fasting will get the job done.

Permanent Weightloss - This Rule Works!

By Richard Huntley

Nowadays people are so confused about what to eat and which exercises to do as there are so many different options out there.

Lots of which state different things from the other so the problem is who is right?

Well in the end I think it's what works for you is right and it is wrong for people to waste energy speaking negativity about another diet or fitness routine.

I have always tried to stay focused on what I do because I know that it works and that is the main thing. It's all about results!

So let's get on the topic of diet and what to eat. When lots of people here the word "diet" they cringe as they know what some people have put themselves through with starvation and struggle to get the results they desire. Long lasting weight loss is a very slim chance using that poor method.

I am a big one for a healthy balance in life but you still have to be disciplined and I think that is where most people slip up.

So here is a quick tip for you to go by with rather than complicating things in what to eat for healthy weight loss.

Let me just mention that when I say weight loss it's all about burning fat.

An Easy 1 Ingredient Rule

This has to be one of the easiest ways of eating healthy with the 1 ingredient rule. So let me quickly explain for you.

Let's say I have a bought a loaf of white bread from my local shop. Ask yourself this, how many ingredient does it take to make this bread I have bought? 6 ingredients? Maybe 8?

Now try this one. I walk into my local shop and buy some fresh Broccoli. How many ingredient has been processed to make this broccoli? Yep you guessed it 1!

Do you see what I mean now about the one ingredient rule? So next time you go shopping remember what I said about the 1 ingredient rule and see for yourself the difference in the way of eating for a healthier lifestyle.

The important thing is to know what's going into your food that you are eating, and by just being aware of this you will for sure surprise yourself.

Reading my simple eating rule above and all the diets and fitness books is not enough for you achieving what goal you want.

The most important factor which I see most people fail in is you need to take action! Otherwise it is useless information without action.

Why Am I Overweight and What Can I Do About It?

By Martin P Kerrigan

Weight loss can be achieved by increasing your physical activity level, together with eating a nutritious diet. Crash diets, fad diets and yo-yo dieting do not help you lose weight. Dieting can also cause stress and increase the likelihood of binge eating.

The key to weight loss is a simple equation: Use more energy than you consume.

There are ways of manipulating the foods you eat and the manner and times at which you eat it which will assist you to lose weight in a rapid and sustainable manner. You don't get fat because of a lack of exercising. If that was the case then ascetic Tibetan gurus would be fat as whales. If you eat the wrong kinds of food at the wrong times of day, in the wrong amounts, then you will get fat and find it difficult to lose these extra pounds. There is a pattern to eating which suits each body and provides the correct type of calories at the right time. Once you become more in sync with how your body likes to be fed, you will find that the weight falls away swiftly and without you being hungry.

The sensible answer to losing excess body fat is to make small healthy changes to your eating and exercise habits. These changes should be things that you can maintain as part of your lifestyle - that way you will lose weight and keep it off. A hint to remember is that to lose weight sustainably and effectively, you will need to eat more than three meals per day. Sounds ridiculous, doesn't it? But the truth is that by eating four of five small meals a day, incorporating nuts, fruit, vegetables, meat and grain, you will never feel hungry AND your stomach will decrease in size so that you feel fuller, faster.

It is ironic that many people, when they decide to pursue weightloss, think that the best way to lose weight quickly is to start to skip meals. WRONG! This has two bad effects.

First: Your body notices that it is not being fed at the times it is used to. Hormonal levels change to adapt to these irregular feeding times and protect the body's stores of energy, by laying down more fat! Not what you want to teach your body to do.

Second: By skipping meals, when you do get around to eating, you find that you are starving and eat and eat and eat until you cannot move. Your stomach grows LARGER to accommodate the huge amounts of food being pushed into it once a day. Which makes you more hungry during the hours you are not eating. Once again, not the response you are looking for from your body.

Another thing that happens, is that when you lose weight rapidly and irregularly like described above, you lose muscle as well as fat and your metabolic rate adjusts itself to handle the periods of starvation by using less energy. Muscle uses far more energy than fat. When you do put weight back on, there is less muscle to fat than before, so your metabolic rate remains set on low. Weight loss becomes even difficult.

Even worse is the fact that using a "deny" diet such as above almost inevitably ends up in a weight loss/weight gain/weight loss/weight gain cycle. Where the yo-yo effect gets worse with each cycle. Self esteem plummets and weight rises.

What overweight people need to realize is that the best way to lose weight quickly, painlessly and without feeling hungry all the time, is to eat the right foods at the right intervals each day. To do this, it is necessary for you to identify the times when you eat that you really do not need to eat.

For example:
. Night eating while watching late night movies
. Social eating while out with friends.
. Habitual eating, where you just eat because you are bored while watching television or reading a book.
. Eating food while drinking alcohol.
. Emotional eating, where you eat to soothe emotional problems. Oddly enough, these emotional problems often have links back to the problems caused by being overweight.

The next step is to have a plan when it comes to eating. You can lose body fat by making a few easy changes to your eating habits. It will help you lose body fat if you:

* Avoid yo-yo diets.
* Eat a wide variety of food from all food groups. Check that you eat from the following food groups every day - bread and cereals, vegetables, fruit, milk and dairy, and meat, fish or legumes.
* Have six small, frequent meals and snacks rather than three large meals a day.
* Reduce your intake of foods that are high in fat, sugar and salt. Make soft drinks, lollies and snack foods an occasional 'extra'. Most adults should eat no more than one or two 'treats' a day. If you are very overweight or inactive, you may need to limit treats to less than one a day.
* Try to balance an 'extra' food with extra exercise. The more energy you burn, the more treats you can afford to have. Remember, you should only add extra foods after you have covered your nutrient needs with choices from the healthier food groups.
* Cut down on saturated dietary fats and alcohol.
* Try to eat more fresh foods and less processed foods.
* Avoid using food for comfort, such as when you are upset, angry or stressed. Explore other healthy ways to cope with these feelings.
* Try to stop eating once you have had enough. If you continue to eat, particularly foods high in saturated fat, the extra kilojoules will be stored as fat.

If you really and truly want to change your body shape with weightloss, you may wish to consider purchasing one of the many diets or programs available. I have tried many diets in my quest to be thin but the one that worked for me is linked in my bio box.

Martin P Kerrigan used to be overweight. A lot. He tried numerous diets and eating plans and watched his weight rise and fall like a yo-yo. Finally, he discovered the diet which worked for him, stripped him of his obesity and kept it off. Everything about his life has now improved. Self confidence, agility, a girlfriend!

5 Amazing Diet Tips for Powerful Weightloss

By James Allen

Before you try starving yourself or turning to diet drugs in order
to lose weight, take some time to research and discover more natural
and safer methods of reaching your weightloss goals. Here are five
food and excercise tips that you can get started with today.

1. Try to have breakfast within one hour of waking. It's always best
to have breakfast within an hour of waking so that your body can
charge itself with the energy it needs for the day. The idea is not
to wait for yourself to get really hungry. Breakfast is the most
important meal of the day but that does not mean that it should be
the most filling meal of the day.

2. Eat fresh fruit instead of drinking fruit juice. Juice is often
sweetened but fresh fruits have natural sugars. When you eat fruit,
you are taking in a lot of fiber, which is needed by the body, and
fruits of course are an excellent source of vitamins.

If you do have a craving for fruit juice then go for fresh fruit
juice instead of those that contain artificial flavors and colors. Or
even better, try making your own fruit juice taking care not to
sweeten it with too many calories.

3. Fix times to have meals and stick to it. Try to have food at
fixed times of the day. You can stretch these times by half an hour,
but anything more than that is going to affect your eating pattern,
the result will either be a loss of appetite or that famished feeling
which will make you stuff yourself with more than what is required
the next time you eat.

4. Tuck in your tummy whenever you walk. Get that proper gait. And
the best way for that is to tuck in your tummy and inflate your
chest. Do not let your tummy hang above your belt line like some
unruly layer of flesh. Bring it under the belt.

Each time you tuck in your tummy, you will feel the pressure on the
muscles of your stomach. This tightening and loosening of these
muscles is even better than stomach crunches.

5. This excercise routine is our favorite - punching your pillow. It
may sound like one of those weird ideas but believe me it works. Not
too many of us have punching bags at home and if you have really
fluffy pillow giving it a good punching routine is just as good as
anything else.

This is also a nice way of letting off steam, so go for it. After all,
something is better than nothing. But I would suggest that you do not
hit it too violently or else the stuffing might come out. Do not
bother too much about the force with which you hit the pillow. It is
number of hits that are important. Try to get at least fifty punches
in one bout.

I would like to give you a little tip over here. If there is
somebody that you particularly dislike like your boss or your
neighbor, or may be your ex-boyfriend or girlfriend, try fixing a
picture of the person's head on the top of your pillow and then try
punching it. I promise you, it will give you a lot of satisfaction!

Permanent Weight Loss - The Secret the Diet Companies Don't Want You to Know

By Bob Langford

The weight loss/diet industry is a multi-billion dollar industry. Judging by the myriads of commercials and ads we're constantly inundated with, it appears that all they want to do is help us lose weight. In reality, they have no interest in helping you lose weight - they're in it to make money on you. Lots of money.

You see, they know that the odds of someone losing weight with their products and keeping it off are astronomical. But they'll never tell you that. Think about it - when was the last time you saw a weight loss commercial that showed their spokesperson 10 years after they started the diet? Or even 5 years.

It's no different from those "become a millionaire in real estate" commercials you see late at night. The fine print is always the same as with weight loss products: "Results are not typical".

Don't get me wrong - you can actually lose weight with diet products/plans, but that's not what the main issue is. The issue is, how do you keep it off? Because there is a secret to keeping it off that most people aren't aware of. This is the secret that the weight loss giants will suppress at any cost, because should it become common knowledge, they would all go out of business.

I want you to pay really close attention to what you are about to read, because it will change the way you diet forever.

First, let's kill off a myth: You do not get fat because you don't exercise. It's simply not true. You get fat because you don't eat the right foods at the right intervals every day. And that is a lot easier to do that than it sounds. In fact, if you ignore this little fact, you'll end up storing most of the calories you eat as fat tissue - no matter how much you exercise and starve yourself in between.

Another shocking fact: Using a low calorie diet is pointless. Did you get that? I'll say it again - it is pointless. Period.

Why? Because your own metabolism's response to ANY drop in calories is to READJUST ITSELF to burn fewer calories each day.

Example: Let's say you drop your intake from 4000 to 2,500 calories per day. Your metabolism will promptly adjust itself so that your body now starts to burn only 2,500 calories per day.

This is why your diets always fail in the long run. It's the same reason why your friends can eat 3000 calories a day and not gain any weight, while you gain weight by eating 800 calories a day. But it doesn't have to be that way.

The system behind this knowledge has been nick named "Fat loss for idiots", because this 10-step system to permanent weight loss is so basic and simple that literally anyone can do it. It is the end of dieting and the beginning of something you didn't think was possible: Permanent weight loss.
