  • Coconut Oil: Cholesterol And Weight Loss Maintenance That Tastes Good  By : Daniel Kevin
    Coconut oil does not contain toxic unsaturated oil that other oils do. It is loaded with healthy benefits that include lowering your cholesterol and your weight. If you find yourself in the “50 and over” group, should your cholesterol and weight rank higher than your retirement plan?

  • 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.

  • 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...
  • 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

    Trying the 1000 calorie diet is only advisable for one week, due to your body entering starvation mode and conserving fat. Overdoing the 1000 calorie diet is counterproductive to your body so try to stay on it for only 1 week. After 1 week you will loose between 3-5 pounds. The 1000 calorie diet can be used as a starter diet for a long term weight loss progra...

    Tired of going to gym and yet no results? Try these methods of fast loss of weight..

    Is it possible to lose weight fast? Yes indeed. Fast loss of weight means losing about one to two pounds per week. However, any program, which promotes losing 12-15 pounds in a week or 10 days is not in favor of your health or you can say may cause harm to your health. Fast loss of weight in a healthy manner is possible only with certain diet plans and regular exercises.

    After last week’s set back in my weight loss program this week is great because at my Friday weigh-in I was down to 186 pounds (92 Kilograms) and my waist belt is up one extra notch. Now that has sounded alarm bells because it is the final notch on the belt and I hate making extra holes.

  • Lose That Belly And Get Fit  By : Dana Goldberg

  • 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.

  • 1 Pound Of Fat = 3,500 Calories  By : Joey Dweck

  • Losing Weight Is All About What You Gain  By :
    Many people have thought about losing weight over the years, but often seem to fall short of an actual attempt to do it. The reason why so many people think about it so much is because deep down, they know that having that extra poundage is not at all good for them. The problem is, just knowing that being overweight is bad is not enough to really push many people to do something about it. Much like wanting to quit smoking, knowing it is bad for you don't induce people to quit...
  • Weight Loss Diary 14  By : David McCarthy
    April 4 thru April 9.

    On Friday I weighed in at 183 pounds (90.5 kilo’s) and that is slightly up on last week. It is not a problem because last week was a distorted figure due to being unwell and not eating very much anyway.

    One of the things I have learned during this weight control period is never to become upset if the scales seem to indicate a poor week. The reason for this is that when you go into a weight loss program you have to take the mindset that “I am what I...

  • Weight Loss Is Just Simple Math  By : Nick Irons
    Think of your body as a giant scale. That scale is a perfect analogy for gaining and losing weight. Think of putting "calories you burn" on one side and "calories you eat" on the other side.

    To maintain your current weight, the scale needs to be balanced. If you eat more calories than your body needs, you tip the scale. These extra calories are stored as fat -- on your hips, butt, stomach, chest, face, etc., etc. etc. (feel free to add your personal trouble spot here).

  • Green Tea Patches For Weight Loss?  By : Sheila Easton
    One of the newest products to hit the dieting market are weight loss patches.
