Hypnosis for Weight Loss

Today, obesity is one of the world’s greatest health concerns. Unfortunately, many people worldwide have health risks and expenses, as they face diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, and other weight-related problems. Obesity also increasingly causes problems resulting in crushed esteems, as well as people being unable to do daily tasks . Because of the many negative aspects of obesity, the passion to lose some pounds is often difficult to conquer. However, the bad eating habits are so embedded that many people are unable to lose the weight without aid.

For those who just cant seem to break the habit, there is a new type of weight loss program out that seems to be working wonders for people. Its called weight loss by hypnosis. Hypnosis itself, most simply put, is a way of relaxing until you enter a state of trance and can access the deepest part of your mind. Once inside, your mind can be re-programmed to have your subconscious to aide in weight reduction.

Hypnosis is more of a way to help you relax and focus. It has been proven that hypnosis is a very effective way to build positive thoughts and motivational traits and ultimately can help you break your bad habits. Weight loss through hypnosis helps the person change their outlook on life and become more focused, be it to do with exercise or diet in order to accomplish their goals. Using the commands given at the time of hypnosis, the person battling with weight issues will be pushed towards following them with no side effects.

Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle

In past years it was thought that cardiovascular exercise, such as running, was the best way to burn fat. However, nowadays experts have switched their beliefs to a more intense workout, such as weightlifting for the best results when trying to lose weight. Resistance workouts get the body working quickly and burning fat even quicker. Exercises that involve the whole body, such as dead lifts, squats, or lunges make your whole core work hard.

Not only will you lose weight from these core workouts, you will also be building muscle on top. All workouts are also accompanied by a diet when on a weight loss plan. If you are trying to build muscle, you would want to incorporate a lot more protein into your diet than you normally would eat. Proteins such as egg whites in the morning, and chicken throughout the rest of your day is healthy and low in fat. You can also take protein supplement shakes that are loaded with beneficial protein for when you muscles are rebuilding after an intense workout.

If muscle gain is not part of your goal, you may want to stick to a more cardiovascular workout. Cardio and healthy eating will more than do the job for healthy weight loss. it is important to note that if you do go the cardio route, you should not just jog at a continuous pace, but do a type of interval training where you run at different intensity levels for the most effective weight loss.

Finally, as I have stressed in most of the articles on this blog, you should set realistic goals for yourself and figure out where you want to be. Weight loss and health is not something that is short term, you must continue some type of diet and exercise to maintain the weight that you lose as well. Do not get discouraged in your weight loss routine as well.

Jogging and Weight Loss

It is commonly known fact that exercise is needed for healthy weight loss. Exercise does not necessarily mean lifting weights either. There are many ways to get the cardiovascular exercise you need including walking, running, jogging, swimming, or even your favorite sport. Today, I plan to cover jogging because there are certain ways that jogging can help you, but if done improperly, can actually be a detriment to your work out.

Jogging, how most people do it, is actually bad for losing fat. The reason being that when you jog for long distances it starts to eat away at your muscle for energy rather than your fat. This is a common problem for most long distance joggers. Also, when you break down muscle like this, it can actually slow down your metabolic rates and you can actually gain weight in the end.

The best way to job is to do it in intervals. An example routine would be to run at high intensity for about 10-15 seconds, which will raise your heart rate. After that you slow down to a walk or slow jog for about 20-30 seconds. Repeat that for about 20 minutes and you will be burning fat and preserving, and most likely gaining, muscle. If possible, try to avoid jogging for long periods of time - Don’t go for more than 20 minutes.

Remember that any exercise you do is going to be beneficial to you in some way or another. Just get out and try to have fun with your work out or maybe even join your favorite recreational sports league if a jogging routine like this doesn’t work for you.

1) Set goals for yourself. Having a goal or something to work towards can give you the drive needed to either get started on your weight loss program or even push you to the next level.

3) Drink water! Drinking water is a very healthy replacement for any soft drink or sugary juices. You will want to drink at least the minimum 8 glasses a day to help clean out the inside of your body. Drinking water all day can actually deter you from snaking as well as speed up your metabolic rates throughout the day.

4) Be aware of how much you are eating. Make sure that you know exactly what it is that you are eating and how many calories that your are consuming throughout the day. Remember that 3,500 calories is exactly 1 pound of fat - they can add up quickly.

Can YOU Lose 2 Pounds per Week Safely?

Losing weight has become the task of many people around the world today. It is possible to lose weight very quickly, through diet and exercise, but is there a point were excessive weight loss can become bad for the body? the answer here is most definitely yes.

The most weight you should be losing per week is just about 2 pounds. The body has to be able to adapt to the weight you are losing and needs time to compensate. Also, a lot of uneducated weight loss hopefuls end up starving themselves because they end up cutting more calories than they should. These “starvation” diets work initially but when they return to their old eating habits, the “dieters” quickly shoot back up to their old weight and oftentimes, they surpass the weight they were at before they started the diet. Cutting calories by that much and making a habit of it can also lead to certain eating disorders such as anorexia.

The best way to lose 2 pounds a week effectively and healthily is by trying to cut your caloric intake by 1000 calories per day. Since 3500 calories equals 1 pound of fat, 7000 calories is 2 pounds that you would have no eaten throughout your week. This, combined with eating the right food and doing regular exercise should get you to the 2 pounds per week that you have been trying to work towards. If you have just started your workouts and dieting, take it slow. Don’t try to just jump into a strict diet with a hard workout regimen because you WILL burn yourself out. Take it slow, set goals for yourself, and stick to something you know you can do and then work towards making the major changes once you know you can do it.

Weight Loss: Exercise and Diet

Weight loss is something that does not just happen because you signed up and semi-stick to a diet plan that you saw on t.v.. To effectively and healthily lose weight, it takes a combination of both diet and exercise, as well as dedication and hard work.

To begin, you will want to re-evaluate your current diet. You will want to drop most of the fatty foods you are eating and go for the healthy ones. For meats, you will want to stick to the less fatty ones such as chicken, but all types are a good source of protein. You may also want to eat some nuts or peanut butter for protein.

In addition to protein you need fruits and vegetables. As long as you eat them the right way which is by steaming them, there is a lot to gain from having them in your diet. In fact, with all the vitamins and nutrients in each of them they are very important to your diet. But there are some that are much better at helping you lose weight. Some of them include fruits, such as, plums, strawberries, blackberries, blueberries (have tons of antioxidants), watermelon, pears, plums and cantaloupe. There are more, but these are the more popular, and all of these taste great, so you are bound to find something you like.

As for vegetables, dark green vegetables, carrots, lettuce, spinach, artichokes, cucumbers and tomatoes all help you burn fat fastest. Another great part of adding fruits and vegetables to your diet is that many of these fruits and vegetables are negative calorie foods. Negative calorie foods are just foods that take your body more calories to burn than gained by eating them, it is only good to have up to 10 of these foods a day.

Finally, you MUST include some type of exercise to go along with your diet. Whether it be walking, running, swimming, or even some type of sport, you have to do something daily to keep your heart rate up and keep you losing weight healthily. I recommend going to see a nutritionist and a personal trainer to get an idea of the things that you can be doing for exercise.

Fasting for Weight Loss

People will try anything to lose weight quickly and easily. The truth of the matter is that it just isn’t that easy and if it is, its not healthy for you.

The idea of fasting has been around for thousands of years, but is it really an effective way to lose weight. Most places that you do research you will find that it is recommended to not skip meals or to not eat less as a way of losing weight. Fasting, however, has been considered by both sides of the argument as not really a starvation diet, but a needed shock to your body. The main question here is is it effective for weight loss? And is it effective a long term solution?

The answer is both yes and no. Yes, it will cause you to lose weight because anyone who does not eat for a period of time will lose weight no matter what their body type is. A person would normally burn 2,000 calories a day without exercise, just by doing their normal day to day activities. When a person goes on a fast there are no calories taken in your system, but you still burn the ones stored in your body. This however makes your body go into a “survival mode” where your metabolism slows down to maximize the stored fat in your body in order to survive.

Anytime your metabolic rates slow down, it is not a good thing. This will cause you to make less energy for your body and also retain more and more calories. On the other hand though, it has also been said that fasting is a good way for our bodies to be able to clean themselves out, removing harmful toxins from the body. However, this is only short term. Fasting for long periods of time can lead to serious medical complications.

Some of the most common effects of excess weight on the body are high blood pressure, heart disease, kidney problems, diabetes and much more.

Banana Fruits

Bananas are the fruit of a plant of the genus Musa (family Musaceae) , which are cultivated primarily for food, and secondarily for the production of fibers that are used, for example, in the textile industry. they are also cultivated for ornamental purposes.
The history of bananas is pretty exciting, since they are the result of a genetic mutation that evolved into a staple food of our society. In fact, bananas are probably the most widespread fruit crop in the whole world. For example, you will learn that the most widespread species - the "Cavendish" banana - was named after the Duke of Devonshire's family! Today they are known for their sweet taste, good nutritional properties (see bananas nutrition facts) with their high content in potassium and fibers (and vitamins such as B6, C and A ), and best of all their ease of use: just peel and eat!
It is important to note that the real banana tree is actually a fruit that must be cooked before eating, has a green, red or brown color and has seeds: it is today the staple food of many african populations and is different from the bananas we are used to eat. The original banana is a cultivar used as a food (cooked or ground to make banana flour) and a a source of fibre. Banana leaves are also used to transport food or as umbrellas (since they are large and waterproof)
The yellow bananas we eat today are a cross between the green and the red banana tree (species Musa acuminata or the hybrid Musa x paradisiaca), and this cross is sterile (hence the lack of seeds in the banana).
There have been numerous studies showing the health benefits of bananas, and this has proven this fruit to be very convenient, both for its ease of consumption (especially in a fast-paced work environment) and for its nutritional properties
