Holidays and Exercise- Fat Loss 4 Idiots

Saturday, January 12th, 2008

Although the holidays are generally a busy time, full of high-calorie food, this doesn’t have to equate to weight gain. You can find fun ways to get together with family and friends with exercise this holiday season. My family and I like to visit Utah parks and recreation areas during the holidays. We go backcountry skiing, ice skating, tubing, and do other fun outdoor activities. We’re going skiing, walking along the mountains, and scuba diving in the waters of the Mediterranean (now that I’m certified). Plan some outdoor activities that you and your family can enjoy doing the holidays. Read More

It’s Lipo Time!- Fat Loss 4 Idiots

Wednesday, January 9th, 2008

It’s that time of year again - the holidays seem to have an annoying habit of adding unwanted pockets of fat on people with even the most flattering figures. Apparently a special procedure known as a super-wet liposuction. OK, we don’t like the name either (it makes it sound as gross as it actually is), so we’ll call it by it’s real name - tumescent liposuction . Here’s how it works - the doctor injects a saline solution (which usually contains a local anesthetic) and performs the procedure. Of course, we usually advocate working out ( with a little help ) and this is no exception - lipo should only be used for people who have done what they can but want to get rid of specific stubborn fat pockets.

TV And Exercise- Fat Loss 4 Idiots

Sunday, December 23rd, 2007

Iâve discovered that Iâm much more likely to do my work out if I can do it while watching my favorite shows on TV. Must See TV takes on a whole new meaning when you figure in itâs the only time of day you have two minutes to do a quick work out. I didnât think I was going to be able to find anything that I could afford but luckily some seller on eBay had really good prices on what I wanted. I always get nervous buying stuff online because I never understood how things could be so inexpensive without being stolen or something. Finally a friend explained that people can sell stuff cheap if they use a dropship service. Anyway, the point is that I finally found exactly what I was looking for and now itâs easier than ever to watch Law & Order for hours while sitting on the couch and feeling guilty for not working out.

Vacation and Exercise- Fat Loss 4 Idiots

Thursday, December 20th, 2007

Exercising needs to be a continual part of your routine to effectively lose weight and keep it off. It helps if you can find something fun to do to burn some calories, which will help you stick to that activity. Besides just exercising in the gym, find ways to get outside and be active. For instance, schedule a vacation playing outdoors, such as an Arizona vacation rental in the Northern mountains of the state. Although you may not be able to do these activities on a regular basis, they are a fun way to enjoy your vacation and get some exercise while you’re at it. In fact, if you want to have more active vacations, check out The Adventure 100 site. Read More

Weight Loss Books- Fat Loss 4 Idiots

Saturday, December 15th, 2007

With the weight loss industry increasing in profits every year, there are always new books emerging to entice dieters to follow the latest fad or weight loss expert. Personally, I have read health magazines and health/weight loss books for years not only because I wanted to obtain my ideal physique and become a personal trainer, but because I found the books interesting. I’ve read French Women Don’t Get Fat , The Abs Diet (and Abs Diet for Women ), Body for Life , The Eat Clean Diet , Atkins Diet , South Beach Diet , Weight Watchers , and The Get with the Program! Although some of the information found in the books I read helped for a short time, most of them weren’t geared for making lifestyle changes that last (fad diets don’t last and neither do books that include recipes with ingredients you can’t easily find at the store). Unfortunately, I saw numerous people, including me and my family, buy weight loss books but never lose weight. Read More

Colorful Palate- Fat Loss 4 Idiots

Friday, December 14th, 2007

For instance, the other day I was eating a dinner of a baked potato and piece of chicken. While eating I realized how bland and boring my dinner looked, mainly because it was mostly variations of brown and neutral colors. Remembering my experience the night before, I made my dinner the next night a bright spinach salad complete with chicken, nuts, cranberries, and a light vinagrette sauce. Try to incorporate more colors into your meals and you’ll automatically have a prettier and more nutritious meal. Some ideas include adding blueberries to yogurt or morning oatmeal or cereal (try defrosting frozen), adding fruit to salads, adding green and red peppers to your dinner dishes, or simply adding green vegetables to all your dishes (either in the dish or as a side dish).

Fat Loss Technique- Fat Loss 4 Idiots

Thursday, December 13th, 2007

For instance, you could plan a vacation on a beach or somewhere active that you can enjoy your new body. Or plan little treats, like saving enough money each week to buy new clothes when you reach your end weight loss goal. Schedule your “after” picture with a professional Utah photographer . After your set number of weeks dieting, you should be able to keep your appointment with your photographer for your “after” picture, and be happy to do it because your body looks great! Not only will the fat, unflattering picture of yourself from “before” motivate you during those hard days, but when you’re done you can compare your new, amazing body with your old overweight self.

Fat Loss 4 Idiots - Healthy Desserts

Wednesday, December 12th, 2007

When dieting, I don’t lose my cravings for sweet food like chocolate. Rather than ignore my cravings, which may result in a binge later, I try to satisfy myself with sweet food like fruit.
