Fast Weight Loss Tips: If You Miss Out On This 1 Thing, Then You Are Going To Get No Results!

Losing weight can be tough, but why make it harder than it has to be? Adding some fast weight loss tips to your current program can really accelerate your results! I know it is hard for you to keep going when you are seeing little results. My cousin Lucy who has battled with her weight all her life gave up many times. She'd cycle between getting motivated and then disheartened when nothing seemed to work. What was she doing wrong? Was she missing something out or didn't she fully understand what the diet plans she was following were telling her?

The real results came when she found a good diet program and stuck that one program alone! But to accelerate her results, she also added little fast weight loss tips she accumulated in her researching and added these to her diet program.

I will now share with you one of these fast weight loss tips that you can incorporate into ANY weight loss plan you are currently under or even if you aren't on a program at all!

You've got to eat! Don't skip meals! You're hunger will catch up with you eventually, even if it's a day or two later, and you will be more likely to 'pig out' and overeat! You must stick to your 3 main meals a day and 3 snacks a day all evenly spaced out. The body handles being 'drip fed' rather than taking a lot in all at once! Think of skipping a meal like forgetting to take medication. Ever been on a medication and forgotten to take a dose? The side effects can really knock you around. Skip a meal because you aren't hungry or too rushed will only lead to catching up for it later! So even if you're not hungry, make it a point to eat! Skipping meals will never lead to weight loss!

Also, you start skipping meals and your body will go into starvation mode and start STORING FAT as it thinks there is a food shortage. The body's starvation mode is why we are here today! It is how we survived as a species long before shopping centres and supermarkets. There were times in life when food would be in short supply in the wild for our ancestors, but our bodies were smart enough to adapt to these conditions. Unfortunately, our body's haven't had enough time to adjust to modern-day living.

Why Protein Is Important to Weight Loss

You start your diet, and you follow all the instructions you were given. You keep to the diet constantly, but you do not lose the weight. Maybe you follow the diet, and you do lose the weight, and you feel great. In addition you have reached your goal, great. Then you gain the weight back and maybe more. Most people start a diet not knowing that a diet is not temporary. A diet is really a weight management program which includes good protein, nutrition, and exercise.

How does protein affect your weight? According to an article by David Heber M.D., Ph.D., F.A.C.P., F.A.C.N. and the Director of UCLA Center for Human Nutrition, protein is an important component of every cell in the body. It is a organic compound composed of 22 amino acids, also known as the building blocks of life. Protein stored in the muscles and organs till the body uses it to build and to repair tissue, and it produces enzymes and hormones. Protein also makes possible for the blood to carry oxygen throughout the body.

There's widespread popularity of high protein diets. This is due to their ability to help manage hunger. When protein is absorbed, it send a signal to lower your hunger. Also help in raising your resting metabolism by maintaining muscle mass. A lack of protein can cause the loss of muscle mass, decrease immunity, and weakening the heart,and respiratory systems. as we age muscle mass decreases with out exercise. Staying fit is the key to burning fat and keeping your metabolism high.

Consider the source. You can obtain good source of protein without high levels of saturated fat. For example, whole grains, nuts, and soybeans provide protein without a lot of saturated fat and offers plenty of healthy fiber, and turkey, chicken, pork, lean beef, red meat, fish,and beans are all a good source of protein. here, is a common meal, a cheese burger, french fries, and a soda. This meal is high with saturated fats and sugar. Do not forget about your snacks, you will want healthy snacks like fresh fruit and vegetables, and consider protein snacks to feel full till it meal time.

Are you drinking enough water? As a guideline you will want to drink six to eight 8 oz glasses of water. For replacing fluids, soft drinks and fruit juices make a bad choice because of their calorie content. When you are ready to lose weight you will want to find a good program that teaches you how to lose the weight and to keep it off.

Running Stairs – Best Cardio Workouts Part 1

Running Stairs – Best Cardio Workouts Part 1


.Many believe that running stairs is one of the best cardio and full body workouts out there. I would say that I would have to rank it up there as well, possibly in my top 5. What I will be doing over the course of the next few week is giving you the best cardio workouts for you to use in addition to your new found eating habits (hint hint) to get the body you want.






The great thing about running stairs is that it can be done indoors or outside. The choice is yours depending on your mood or the weather. Just remember just because it sounds simple doesn’t mean that its easy.

Benefits

First of all stairs are everywhere you look so there is no reason to say you can’t find some and besides that running stairs is “free” and I know we all love that word. Besides being free running stairs will definitely get your heart rate going and help you achieve that lean, toned and sexy body.
It will also of course help to firm up your bum. Now what female doesn’t want to firm up her butt? Another benefit is the running stairs is a quick way to get a workout done in less than 20 minutes and not to mention it will also work your abs.

It’s Not For the Weak at Heart!


Notice how earlier I stated that this can be done in less than 20 minutes, well just remember I never said it was an easy 20 minutes. Running the stairs or bleachers is tough work! Have you ever seen athletes running bleachers for football or track practice? They aren’t faking that look on their face, they actually feel like they have just been at war with those steps.
How to know if you are doing them right?
1.Your skin will feel hot like its burning to the touch.

2.You will be short of breath

3.Of course you will be sweating

4.Your heart rate will be up

5.And you face will look a bit flushed

The Proper Technique

Step on every other step. This manner of running ensures proper stride frequency and speed of running. Use this technique unless the stairs you are using are just too far apart.

Use your whole body. Running requires the movements of the whole-body. Engage all your muscles and not just your legs.


Use those thighs. You want to push up the stairs using your thigh muscles, being careful not to completely extend your legs. Extending the leg puts too much pressure on your knees so instead, run by keeping your legs semi-flexed throughout.
Run on your toes. When running step on your toes or more specifically the place between your toes and your mid foot in other words don’t use your heels.


Running Stairs Workout


Below is a workout for running stairs, and I know it may not look like much but trust me this is no joke. Remember start small and increase the flight of stairs as you get better at it 20 stairs should work fine in the beginning. Be sure to warm up by walking or jogging up the stairs 2-3 times.
1.Start at the bottom and sprint to the top as fast as you can.

2.Once at the top jog back to the bottom.

3.Do this for 10-15 minutes. (if you are just beginning take a 30 sec break every 5 mins or as needed)

NOTE: Yes it’s that simple, but give it a try and let me know if you lasted the whole 15 minutes. Remember simple doesn’t mean easy if that were the case no one would have a problem with eating less.
