There are two reasons why you may be having trouble losing weight. They are cheating intentionally and cheating unintentionally.
Every good diet, or change of eating habits needs a plan. If you're having trouble losing weight, the first step is to create a plan that involves eating fewer calories combined with exercise to burn calories. The calories you do consume need to be from healthier foods and the exercise you include in your program needs to be regular. Create a plan to stick to. It's easy to be idealistic and say that starting tomorrow you'll only eat fruit and vegetables and work out two hours in the morning before you go to work, but is a weeks time you'll be back at square one. If you're not sure what you can stick with, start with just a few changes and change up your diet plan later. Having trouble losing weight could be related to your inability to stick to the program, so make a program you know that you can stick to. A good way to start is to stop drinking sugared drinks and eating candy bars. That is a sure-fire way cut a few hundred calories out of your diet every day and may stop you from having trouble losing weight. Go for a half hour walk three times a week - you can listen to your iPod. Think of it as listening to music time, not exercise and you'll be sure to look forward to it. Start small and work your way up.
Once you have a plan in place, you've got to stick to it. Deviating from the plan and making exceptions is where people run into trouble and probably why you're having trouble losing weight. That extra serving of spaghetti at dinner, or pie you told yourself you weren't going to eat. Even that second glass of orange juice instead of water may seem harmless, but combined with all the other exceptions and instances of 'turning a blind eye' and putting off that exercise until your TV program is over add up over time and can be the cause of you having trouble losing weight.
Sometimes these exception are preventable. You see them coming. You know you shouldn't, but you do anyway. Sometimes they're unintentional. Something comes up at work or with a family member. As a stress eater myself, I found that sometimes I would eat things and not even realize it. Even though I was cooking for myself, I'd cook too much and say I'd save it for the next day. But each time I walked through the kitchen I'd snack a bit on the leftovers and before the night was over I had eaten two dinners instead of one. That was one of the reasons I was having trouble losing weight.
So how do you overcome this? To overcome your trouble losing weight you can plan to make exceptions. Give yourself a day when you can eat anything you want. Let yourself follow one TV program (not three or four). Don't make yourself exercise on your more stressful days at work. You have to see what's most important to you and plan it into your schedule. You're not a robot. Slow and steady wins the race. You'll lose more weight and keep it off if you stick to an easy program for six months than if you don't complete a two week intense program.
For those who are having trouble losing weight and need to reevaluate their diet program sometimes guidance may be needed. It's difficult counting calories, making meal plans, keeping journals and keeping everything organized on top of all the responsibilities or work, family, and well, life. If you're looking for some diet guidance, there are many types of programs available on the internet. Some are free, the better one you of course have to pay for. Regardless of how to decide to stop having trouble losing weight the key is to start now. Taking action is key!
Having trouble losing weight is something that millions of people are experiencing. Outside guidance in your diet plan may help. http://zenandlosingweight.info/are-you-having-trouble-losing-weight has resources and information about dieting and healthy lifestyles. Take action today!

Is All Fat Bad?
Click Here To Lose Weight Now!
By Christina Moxley
Is all fat bad? An emphatic NO, even though the word alone conjures up a negative connotation. As a matter of fact, some of the fat we consume is actually good for us and necessary to maintain a healthy existence.
For example, vitamins A, D, E, and K are transported around our entire body through fat. Membrane structure depends on it. And necessary nutrients like Essential Fatty Acids and fat-soluble vitamins are supplied by fat to our body.
So in a nutshell, our bodies definitely need fat to function properly. If I remember my biology correctly, the cells in our body need it to regulate protein which is vital to basic cellular and body function, such as cell regeneration and repair, maintenance of tissue, fluid balance, and the provision of energy.
But these fat droplets that are present in our cells serve yet another purpose. They act as warehouses to store disproportionate amounts of other proteins that would become harmful if allowed to roam freely.
And they further act to store a certain protein used by our molecules to bind our DNA. A very important job!
Bottom line: Is all fat bad? No, we need it to stay alive but we need to distinguish between the good and the bad fats we consume.
Good Fats
Unsaturated or monounsaturated fats are the healthiest fats and the most beneficial for our body. They serve in lowering overall cholesterol levels and preventing heart disease. They can be found in vegetable oils, nuts, and seeds, to name just a few. Monounsaturated fats have also been found to help in weight loss, particularly body fat.
Bad Fats
Otherwise known as saturated or trans fats, these fats are made naturally by our body and in just the amount our body needs. So, eating any additional saturated fat turns them into bad fats. Trans fats were invented to "hydrogenate" liquid oils so that they could provide a better shelf life for foods. Be wary of commercially packaged foods, vegetable shortening and hard stick margarine which contain these nasty trans fats.
Some other examples of bad fats include red meat, egg yolks, high fat milk, and French fries.
So, to sum up: Is all fat bad? No. Just be cognizant of the kind you are putting into your body to maintain a healthy, and well balanced diet.

Reduce Waist Size Fast!
Click Here To Lose Weight Now!
By Catherine Cheng
To reduce waist size fast is a common desire for most women. Who among us doesn't want to fit into their skinny jeans without passing out from lack of oxygen?! Luckily there are some quick and easy techniques Asian women use to shrink their mid-sections that you can learn and use fast!
Reduce Waist Size Fast
When clients in my Skinny Asian Diet program want to lose inches off their waist one of the things I do is put them on to a modified food routine that places an emphasis on calories being burned from fat-deposits near our belly versus other areas of our body. By doing this we can attack that spot a bit, which is difficult to do in most cases.
The food I want you to focus on to activate this effect are whole grains, sprouts, raw vegetables, and fruit.
Be careful at the beginning when first eating the raw vegetables as often it takes a day or two for our body to adjust to processing them through our system.
The reason why these particular food work so well to reduce waist size are due to the difficulty of digestion. As our stomach and large intestine break down the vegetables and whole grains they activate and core body muscles that push the food through our system. These muscles require energy in order to work, and they get that energy from resources in the area, particular fat deposits near your waistline.
It takes a tremendous amount of force to process raw vegetables, and we can take advantage of this natural effort at any time just based upon what we choose to eat!
You must increase your intake of water during this process, for multiple reasons. First, it helps the vegetables get broken down and absorbed properly. Second, water tends to accumulate around our waist which is part of the reason why it's a problem area. If we can blow out some of the water in that region we'll look tighter, leaner, and more like what we want to.
The more water you drink the LESS you hold your body, which is why I want you to drink like a fish! Try to get to 6-8 glasses per day to allow your body to properly process and get rid of any water you're storing.
You CAN Achieve Your Dream Body
Everyone I talk with these days is sick of the latest diet programs, where you're either STARVING or trying to live through BRUTAL workouts to drop weight.
Instead, let me teach you a simple method that will quickly drop 10 pounds off your belly and thighs in less than a month without any sweating. The technique is so easy that I actually recommend doing it while relaxing on the couch watching TV!

How to Lose Inches Off Your Waist in Just a Week
Click Here To Lose Weight Now!
By Catherine Cheng
How to lose inches off your waist in only a week is definitely a tough challenge, especially when you know the clock is ticking and time is running out! Asian women have used different solutions to lose weight quickly that can work within just seven days, and today we're going to look at one of their favorites!
How to Lose Inches Off Your Waist in Just a Week
To lose inches fast you're going to need to shock your system. Hey it took time to add that extra layer around your belly and it's also going to take a time to get it off!
Luckily there are some things you can do to accelerate the process and get where you want to be quickly.
First, we have to change WHAT we eat, and HOW MUCH we eat.
This one is obvious, but the numbers themselves aren't. Most of the clients on my Skinny Asian Diet program ask how much should they cut? How do they count calories? How can they be sure they're doing it right? The list goes on and on.
Here's how to keep it simple: The "2x1" portion control system.
The 2x1 portion control system is something I use myself everyday to stay thin and keep my calories where they need to be. To do it, you simply use the following formula at every meal (4 meals per day maximum):
2 x fist-sized portions of lean protein (chicken with no skin, lean meat, fish, tofu)
1 x fist-sized portion of a healthy carbohydrate (brown rice, mixed vegetables).
If you ball up your hand into a fist you'll see that it seems like a perfect portion size. Simply make sure that your meal size is made up of no more than 3 fist-sized amounts of food, with 2 of those portions being a lean protein and 1 of them being a beneficial carbohydrate. No white breads, no white rice, no starches like potatoes, etc.
Remember, you're trying to lose weight in as short a time as possible. If your diet isn't right it's not going to work and you're going to get frustrated. Follow the 2x1 system at all meals and you'll wind up at the end of the day being under 1,200 total calories...which is a great level for weight loss.
No cheating, no sauces, no toppings, nothing that contains sugar or calories. Just wonderful natural food that is enjoyable. If you need a little taste I recommend lemon, a few squeezes of a lemon on chicken or steak or fish can make it taste much saltier than it is...without salt's water retention problem!
Eat Right, But You Have to Exercise Too
Because you're trying to do this in just a week, I need you to shock your body physically as well as nutritionally. Which means I want you to exercise for 30 minutes on 5 of the 7 days you're trying to lose weight this week. You don't have to torture yourself, pick something fun like dancing, or kickboxing, or riding your bike outdoors.
Anything is fine as long as you do it for a half hour. Be sure to concentrate on the activity while you're doing it, the brain loves to help you lose weight by working behind the scenes to make your goals happen.
Another Thing You Can Do
Everyone I talk with these days is sick of the latest diet programs, where you're either STARVING or trying to live through BRUTAL workouts to drop weight.
Instead, let me teach you a simple method that will quickly drop 10 pounds off your belly and thighs in less than a month without any sweating. The technique is so easy that I actually recommend doing it while relaxing on the couch watching TV!

Quickly Lose Weight For A Better Life
Click Here To Lose Weight Now!
By Simon Starkins
How to quickly lose weight is one of the most sensitive questions one can come across and what most people fail to understand is that reducing the daily calorie consumption, is all that it takes to shed the extra pounds. Maintaining a proper diet is essential to achieve the weight you can live with, but doesn't necessarily mean that you resort to starvation or a crash diet. Healthy eating in order to quickly burn fat simply refers to eating the food you desire, but in the right quantities.
Most of us decide to quickly lose weight for the moment, which results in investing in extraordinary measures such as prescription drugs, counseling, gym memberships etc and with an appropriate diet; you are not only including foods that are right for you, but also ensuring that the pounds are gone for good. This doesn't mean that you can't feast on your favorite cheesecake, but implies that you make it a subtle and not a staple part of your diet.
Before you plan to quickly burn calories, you need to understand that each diet is unique when compared to others and a good example to relate would be potatoes, which are known to be highly rich in carbohydrates and are great for those poorly facilitated with them, but can be the worst enemy for those who have them in excess. You need to set realistic goals and sticking to them is another aspect of slowly burning fat and needs to be determined prior to initiate a diet.
A diet is a great way to lose weight quickly without exercise and if your goal is to lose one inch per week, then that's what you need to achieve under any circumstances, without going overboard of course! The process of switching from your habituated diet to a healthier one may seem intimidating, but gradually replacing the food you consume with vegetables and low fat is a great place to start. Drinking tepid water will help raise your metabolic rate, since your body is warm enough to sustain and process it.
In our quest to quickly lose weight, we often disappoint ourselves by weighing ourselves daily, but the harsh reality is that weight loss is by far something that happens overnight, but with the right amount of perseverance will happen with time. You seriously have to cut out the sodas, as they are rich in sodium, which enhances water retention and is the last thing you want when trying to easily lose weight.
Foods such as broccoli,lettuce,cauliflower and celery as high in fibre and are a great way to avoid constipation. Consuming smaller portions of food at set intervals of the day is an ideal way to defeat hunger and keep your sugar levels at par.
Following the above steps you can quickly lose weight. Remember that a healthy diet is much cheaper than you may think and before you know it, the results will speak for themselves!

Body Fat - 3 Important Facts Everyone Should Be Aware Of
Click Here To Lose Weight Now!
By Josef Brandenbrg
Fact #1. Love Your Bed
Sleeping is perhaps one of the best ways to avoid putting on unnecessary wait, and they certainly the most enjoyable. Basically, lack of sleep is known to cause weight gain, but that's not the only reason why you should be getting enough sleep if you wish to look your best.
A) When you aren't sleeping enough, various hormones in your body calls the fat cells to begin multiplying, and if that's not bad enough, your muscles were also begin wasting away.
Certain hormones are responsible for you being able to gain muscle mass, which in turn means your physical appearance can improve because of these hormones. The two hormones responsible for this are testosterone and growth hormone, both of which increase when you get enough sleep. Leptin is another hormone which increases with adequate sleep, but unlike the two previously mentioned; this one is capable of speeding up a person's metabolism.
Now, I am not speaking about anything to do with injecting testosterone or growth hormone. Instead, these are substances your body makes naturally, whether you are a man or a woman. Additionally, all women should want to optimize their hormone levels in order to have a tight, attractive, feminine body. The amount of testosterone a woman can produce by getting enough sleep will never turn her into a she-man, but instead, it will turn her into a sexy woman who looks awesome in a bikini.
B) The longer you stay awake each day, the more food you're going to eat, and don't think you can't over-indulge just because you limit yourself to health foods.
C) People that are chronically deprived of sleep will almost always begin binge eating. Without wanting to state the obvious, binges are without a doubt a major cause for people being overweight.
People who fail to get enough sleep also have a tendency to eat foods containing way too much carbs and sugar. More carbs and more sugar means your body will start producing excessive amounts of insulin. More insulin and more cortisol equates to more fat cells.
Fact #2. Women Have It Worse
Contrary to what some may believe, there's a huge difference between upper body fat and lower body fat. As I'm sure you may have noticed, most men tend to store upper body fat, while women tend to store lower body fat. Alarmingly enough, the amount of women battling with upper body fat is increasing, and one can only think that this is because so many women are nowadays eating foods which are full of processed carbohydrates, and because their busy lifestyles are depriving them of much needed sleep.
Fact #3. LPL the Welcome Mat and HSL the Bouncer
There are essentially two hormones involved in this process, and both are controlled by insulin. The first one, lipoprotein lipase (LPL), acts as a welcome mat welcome mat by encouraging fat to enter a cell when insulin is high. The second one, hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL), acts as a bouncer by ordering the fat out of the cell when insulin levels are low.
Insulin levels are controlled by the types of food you eat. Eating foods which are rich in refined carbs, such as bread, pasta and juice, inevitably causes high insulin levels, while good carbs found in fruits and veggies keep insulin levels low and steady.

Leptin is another hormone which increases with adequate sleep, but unlike the two previously mentioned; this one is capable of speeding up a person's metabolism.
Now, I am not speaking about anything to do with injecting testosterone or growth hormone. Instead, these are substances your body makes naturally, whether you are a man or a woman. Additionally, all women should want to optimize their hormone levels in order to have a tight, attractive, feminine body. The amount of testosterone a woman can produce by getting enough sleep will never turn her into a she-man, but instead, it will turn her into a sexy woman who looks awesome in a bikini.
B) The longer you stay awake each day, the more food you're going to eat, and don't think you can't over-indulge just because you limit yourself to health foods.
C) People that are chronically deprived of sleep will almost always begin binge eating. Without wanting to state the obvious, binges are without a doubt a major cause for people being overweight.
People who fail to get enough sleep also have a tendency to eat foods containing way too much carbs and sugar. More carbs and more sugar means your body will start producing excessive amounts of insulin. More insulin and more cortisol equates to more fat cells.
Fact #2. Women Have It Worse
Contrary to what some may believe, there's a huge difference between upper body fat and lower body fat. As I'm sure you may have noticed, most men tend to store upper body fat, while women tend to store lower body fat. Alarmingly enough, the amount of women battling with upper body fat is increasing, and one can only think that this is because so many women are nowadays eating foods which are full of processed carbohydrates, and because their busy lifestyles are depriving them of much needed sleep.
Fact #3. LPL the Welcome Mat and HSL the Bouncer
There are essentially two hormones involved in this process, and both are controlled by insulin. The first one, lipoprotein lipase (LPL), acts as a welcome mat welcome mat by encouraging fat to enter a cell when insulin is high. The second one, hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL), acts as a bouncer by ordering the fat out of the cell when insulin levels are low.
Insulin levels are controlled by the types of food you eat. Eating foods which are rich in refined carbs, such as bread, pasta and juice, inevitably causes high insulin levels, while good carbs found in fruits and veggies keep insulin levels low and steady.

By Avy Barnes
Are you looking for easy quick weight loss tips that not only work for losing a lot of weight fast, but also naturally? If so, read on for 3 amazing and very easy tips that will certainly help you get in great shape... and health, starting today!
1.) Focus More On This Type Of Exercise - Firstly, it's important that you exercise at least 3 times a week. Without exercise, it's going to be pretty difficult to lose several pounds and burn fat quickly. Now, what I recommend you do as far as exercise is concerned is to put more of your attention on building lean muscle more so than cardiovascular exercises. Yes, you must still do cardio, but it will pay off in huge dividends if you put more emphasis on building muscle.
Why is muscle-building more important? Well, when you build muscle tissue, this will actually force your body to automatically burn away fat... and this even includes the time when you are resting! You see, muscle tissue requires a ton of calories in order to develop. So, when you are ensuring you are properly building lean muscle tissue, you will burn off a ton of calories during and after the workout.
The best types of exercises would be any type of compound workout (bench press, leg squats, dead-lifts, pull-ups, push-ups, etc.). Not only will compound workouts burn the most calories, they will also develop a more leaner body quicker than anything else. By the way, ladies, you DO NOT have to worry about lifting heavy weights to get HUGE muscles, just simply lift what you can and stay consistent.
2.) 3 Killer Nutrients - Okay, please understand firstly that it is very important that you get all types of nutrients in your diet without severe restricting... such as with those restrictive celebrity fad diets (low-carb, low-fat, never eat again, etc.!). With that said, there are 3 super nutrients that I highly recommend you get plenty of each day for amazing results. Those nutrients are protein (builds muscle, curbs appetite, and will boost metabolic rate), antioxidants (cleanses your body and boosts the metabolism), and fiber (also cleanses your body and increases your metabolism, plus fiber will keep you fuller longer).
3.) Genius Dieting! - Want to be considered a genius with dieting? Well, an easy quick weight loss tip that is sure to make you look smart and also get you in the best shape of your life is to eat in a way that will burn fat fast. To do this, firstly eat more frequently throughout the day, secondly, make sure the foods you eat contain the nutrients I mentioned in #2, thirdly, avoid eating too close to when you go to bed, and lastly, eat in a way that will skyrocket your metabolism to the maximum peak!
So, if you want to Melt Away Fat FAST and drop 9 pounds EVERY 11 DAYS, then I highly recommend the "calorie shifting diet" from Fat Loss 4 Idiots.
I lost an amazing 52 lbs. of fat in 2 months using this popular online diet plan... and it all stayed off FOR GOOD! This diet works so well because it is based on skyrocketing your metabolism by eating REAL foods. NO starvation, NO cravings, NO diet pills... just 100% natural and very EASY dieting!
