Burning Belly Fat is Not Impossible!

by Ricardo d Argence

This time of year, everyone is resolving to lose weight
especially those who have amassed a great deal of it around
their waist. Belly fat is the bane of many a person's
existence, it is stubborn and unsightly and seems like it
will take an act of congress to remove it. The first step to
take when wanting to burn belly fat is to understand what it
is and why it is there, think of it as a know your enemy
strategy.

The belly, for some people, is the first place that the fat
will be stored. The fat around the midsection is the
accumulation of visceral fat. People with this problem are
commonly referred to as having an "apple" shape.

The problem with belly fat when opposed to other types is
that it accumulates around the vital organs of the torso.
Whereas other types are merely under the skin or
interspersed between skeletal muscles.

Along with being, unattractive belly fat has been associated
with serious health risks, including cardiovascular disease,
diabetes, or insulin resistance. Therefore, it is imperative
to that a person take belly fat seriously.

There are many causes of belly fat accumulation. Check out
the list below to see where you fall:

Genetics- Look around at the people in your family that are
overweight. Where do they tend to store the most fat? If it
is around the midsection, you could have a genetic
predisposition to belly fat. Habits- Poor eating habits are
another common cause of belly fat. Stress- This is a big
contributor to belly fat. When you are stressed there is a
hormone released called cortisol. Cortisol increases your
energy by boosting glucose production, which in turn
stimulates appetite increasing your caloric intake and this
is converted to stored fat. Generally around the midsection
so that it is readily available for the body to burn.

Getting rid of the junk food makes sense. Prime suspects in
weight gain, are high calorie foods that have little, if
any, nutritional values. Some other foods you should avoid
are:

Anything that is high in carbohydrates, these include cakes,
bread, potatoes, and pasta. These are all high in
carbohydrates.

Instead of all the sugar and carbohydrates, you will want to
focus on whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and proteins. For
example instead of a bowl of sugary cereal for breakfast,
you could consider this sample breakfast:

Whole grain toast, two poached eggs or bowl of oatmeal,
small glass of orange juice, fruit of your choice.

No discussion on weight loss would be complete without
stressing the importance of regular exercise. Even 15
minutes a day walking at a brisk pace will show dramatic
results.

Introducing pills or other weight loss drugs is the last
thing you should do to your body. These are usually
ineffective, and those that are somewhat helpful are made
with harsh chemicals that can have dangerous side effects.
There's nothing like a balanced diet and simple exercise.

You can burn that fat, and the whole reason why are you on
this site, is because you know you want to burn that fat!
Here you'll find the best diets and

On acai berries and weight loss

by Alex Stern

It seems as though every day a new weight loss method is
developed. From slimming belts to miracle fruits, nothing is
surprising anymore. A decade ago, some of the products and
techniques being marketed today would have seemed
ridiculous. One of the techniques which would surely be most
scrutinized is the acai berry diet.

The acai berry is the fruit of the Brazilian palm tree. Its
properties are really quite similar to other berries such as
blueberries and blackberries. There reason many fall for the
claims made by the marketers is that Oprah mentioned the
health benefits of the berries on her show near the end of
2008. After that, people began searching wildly for acai
berry products in the hope that consuming them would
facilitate weight loss. All the while the fact remains there
is not much truth to all of this.

In North America where many have noticed a huge growth in
popularity of the berry, it is typically bought and sold in
extract form. While the extract makes a decent supplement,
it is a poor substitute for the whole fruit. Many of the
beneficial substances within the fruit are lost in the
process of drying and extraction.

Diet supplements are only part of the weight loss equation.
Regardless of whether you are supplementing with acai
berries, ephedra or pharmaceuticals, regular exercise should
also be a part of the weight loss plan. There is nothing
like exercise to rev up the metabolism.

Acai berries make a good dietary supplement and surely the
antioxidants they contain have some anti aging benefits, but
there is no truth to the idea they will facilitate weight
loss. It would be smart to consume them while exercising
regularly and take advantage of their antioxidant properties
to slow down the oxidative stress such exercise causes. A
healthy diet in combination with regular exercise will
always provide the best results for weight loss.

As a fitness trainer and nutrition adviser, Alex Stern is
particularly interested in the hype surrounding

Hoodia Patches or Hoodia Diet Pills for Better Results?



by Reagan Miers

As I'm sure you are aware, the companies who market and
promote hoodia patches generally make the bold claim that a
patch works much better than the usual hoodia diet pills.
The theory is that by wearing a patch the hoodia will slowly
work it's way through your skin before passing into your
bloodstream. Giving you a slow, constant supply of hoodia
all day long.

They also state that because the hoodia does not have to
travel through your stomach, a hoodia patch will suppress
your hunger a lot faster than any other capsule or liquid
based supplement.

These theories seem to make sense, however, there is very
little evidence to actually confirm them. To be honest,
there are no clinical trials or experiments into the
effectiveness of hoodia patches. There are very few studies
on hoodia gordonii at all.

The companies who sell hoodia patches often compare them to
other patches with a proven track record, such as nicotine
patches and birth control patches. People know these
products work, so they presume that a hoodia patch will work
just as well. Don't be fooled! There are many differences in
these products.

Both nicotine patches and birth control patches required the
person to have a prescription. This is still the case for
birth control patches, however, nicotine patches have just
become available over the counter without a prescription.
That being the case, it is important to bear in mind that
you have never needed a prescription for a hoodia patch.

Any product that requires a prescription or once did has had
to undergo rigorous testing and be subjected to governmental
regulations before it can be marketed to the public as being
effective. None of the hoodia patches sold today require a
prescription. Doesn't that tell you something?

Hoodia gordonii is a cactus like plant which has been grown
and harvested in the Kalahari Desert in South Africa by the
San tribe for centuries. They use the hoodia plant in order
to control their hunger while out on long hunting
expeditions.

The original way of taking hoodia that the tribe use is to
cut a small section a few inches in length from the plant.
They would then peel the skin, and eat it. This would
deliver all the hoodia needed to suppress their appetite for
several hours. Eating the plant is obviously an effective
method of delivery so which method do you think would be
most effective: taking a pill which contains ground up
hoodia powder, or wearing a patch on the outside of your
skin?

So I believe that all the hoodia patches out there are a
waste of time, which may make you think that hoodia
supplement capsules are the best way forward. This is not
true! In fact most studies show that the majority of hoodia
products available today are fakes which contain little to
no hoodia gordonii. There are only a few hoodia diet pills
which do contain genuine hoodia gordonii.

Until there is better regulation and testing you would be
far wiser to spend your money on authentic hoodia diet pills
instead of wasting your money on hoodia patches.

Carbs and Weight Loss, Important Facts You Should Know


by Ricardo d Argence

Whether you are trying to shed those last few pesky pounds
or you are looking at making drastic lifestyle change,
you'll find that when you are interested in weight loss that
the question of carbs comes up quite quickly. There are lot
of foods out there that proudly proclaim that they are low
in carbs and diets say that they are a specifically low carb
diet.

There are some facts you need to know about them before you
make a decision. For example, what carbs are? Or, does
cutting them out really cause you lose weight?

In the first place, make sure that you know what carbs are.
Carbs is the shortened form of the word carbohydrates, and
the truth is that carbohydrates are one of the most
important ways that your body gets energy.

There are two kinds of carbohydrates. Sugars -simple
carbohydrates- are the first. There are also starches, also
called complex carbohydrates. The difference between them is
that your body spends more time digesting one than the
other. Sugars are processed through your digestion much
faster than starches. Simple carbs are foods such as pizza,
chocolate, cake, and other processed food with sugar
additives. Certain highly nutritious fruits such as apples,
bananas, grapes, and raisins fall in the category of simple
carbohydrates too.

Complex carbs are found in breads, cereals, nuts, pasta, and
vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, and corn. Since
starches take longer to digest, they release energy more
slowly and will make it last longer throughout your body.

As you might expect, both simple carbs and complex carbs are
necessary for your body to function correctly. Think about
the fact that sometimes you do need a short burst of energy
to get you going, and that at some points, you need food
that will keep you going.

The best way to make sure that you keep your energy going
with simple carbs is to have a bit of fruit in the morning
to get you started and eating well rounded meals that have
good complex carbs in them. You store energy in the form of
fat when you eat too many carbs. That's the reason why we
gain weight.

Bearing this in mind, diets that claim to help cut your carb
intake need careful scrutiny. People's problems with
carbohydrates arise when they eat to much of them.

Cutting a whole food group out for yourself like this is
typically a poor idea unless there is a problem with your
body's ability to cope with them. When you are in a place
where you want to lose weight, it is true that carb reduced
diets do help to a certain extent, but frequently, they help
simply because you are cutting back. As you can see from the
facts above, your body does use carbohydrates for good
things as well as bad!

Instead, make sure that you point your gaze towards eating
carbs in moderation and getting a lot of exercise. Exercise
can go a long way towards getting you the right kind of
weight loss that you need, particularly when you are eating
well, and it will help you get toned up and looking great.
This is an important part of getting the body you want.

Successfully Burn Body fat

by Jason King

To successfully burn unwanted fat from your body the first
phase is to get your food combinations correct. No amount of
exercise will burn the fat that is continually put on your
body from a poor diet. Doing an extra 10 minutes cardio in
the evening because you cheated on your diet with a burger
at lunchtime just doesn't work.

Carbohydrates are an important ingredient in your quest to
lose weight. A diet that has gotten a lot of media attention
over the last few years is the low carb diet. Celebrities
have helped this rubbish way to lose weight get a lot of
exposure by endorsing it.

The problem with low carb diets is you lose muscle as well
as fat, and losing muscle slows down your metabolism. This
seems like a good thing while you're on your diet, but the
pounds will soon pile back on when you start eating a proper
balanced diet again.

Carbohydrates feed your muscles and give them the energy you
need to exercise. Low carb diets can make you feel grumpy
because of the lack of energy in your body. Depression soon
sets in when you cut carbs from your diet. And you're
suppose to feel good while you're dieting, and fell more
energetic.

Another fad diet is a low fat diet. The only reason to go on
a low fat diet is if you're suffering with an illness such
as heart disease. If you want to successfully lose weight
then fat is as important as any other nutrient.

Eating fat doesn't make you fat. Your weight loss program
will have a massive benefit from eating healthy unsaturated
fats. Cell regeneration in your body relies on healthy fats
in your diet. Fish oils such as omega 3's are now well known
for being good for the brain because the brain is largely
made of fat. This is the same for most of your body and some
vitamins and minerals need a healthy supply of fats to
transport themselves around your body.

Your muscles grow when you consume more protein which is why
protein is important for weight loss. When you feed your
muscles they get bigger, and then your metabolism increases.
You'll never successfully burn fat if you don't increase
your metabolic rate. With a higher metabolic rate your body
will burn more calories even while you're resting.

On top of your food combining you need to introduce a good
exercise program into your fat burning regime. When you
exercise your muscles grow, and you also burn extra
calories. When your muscles grow you increase your
metabolism, and your body burns fat faster then you could
have imagined.

Proper fat burning is easily achieved without the need of
any fad diet or wonder pill

How Easy Weight Loss For Teen Girls Helps Fighting Weight Issues

when you're already full. Avoid eating when you're
emotionally unstable. This happens a lot, especially in
teens with constant body changes.

Can Weight Loss Pills Shed the Fat?


by Deen Dragonovich

In the United States obesity is reaching epidemic levels.
More and more people are turning to weight loss pills in
hopes of shedding those unsightly pounds.  With the New Year
right around the corner, stores will have their shelves well
stocked with weight loss pills in anticipation of the after
holiday rush. But do weight loss pills really work?

Good weight loss pills work to some degree, but not as
significantly as some may think.  When ephedra was
introduced back in the early 90's, many considered it a
miracle pill.  I was one of them. The combination of ephedra
along with aspirin and caffeine, burned fat like no other
compound since.

Unfortunately the side effects far out-weighed its fat
burning power.  There were a few cases where ephedra was
blamed for people dying from heart attacks.  The heart
pounding stimulating affect was difficult for people to
handle and ephedra is no longer available.

Are there any other products that work?

Since ephedra was taken off the market, there really hasn't
been anything that rivals its weight loss power (save for
possibly one).

The most popular weight loss pills today are those
containing Green tea and Hoodia.  Green tea works through a
process called thermogenesis (fat burning), while Hoodia is
claimed to be an appetite suppressant.  Both are said to be
effective at shedding the fat, but nothing like ephedra.

There is however a natural compound that shows great promise
in preventing fructose from converting to fat.

What's the big deal about fructose?

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition believes that
fructose may well be the cause of obesity in America today.
Here's what they had to say:

"evidence that a marked increase in the use of HFCS, and
therefore in total fructose consumption, preceded the
obesity epidemic and may be an important contributor to this
epidemic in the United States."

For the past thirty years fructose has virtually replaced
cane sugar as the sweetener of choice for most manufacturers
because of its low cost to produce.  During this period
there has been a 300% increase in the use of high fructose
corn syrup and a 40% drop in the use of cane sugar.


What is this new natural substance?

This all natural compound is derived from the roots of
Scutellaria baicalensis and Heartwood of Acacia.  There more
common names are Chinese skullcap and "Black catechu".

How does it work?

This natural compound works by substantially decreasing two
key obesity markers in the blood stream. These two obesity
markers are expressed in high levels in the chronically
obese. These compounds have been shown to significantly
decrease both of these obesity markers by inhibiting fat
conversion from fructose pathways and down-regulating fat
accumulation and up-regulating fat breakdown.

A double blind clinical study was conducted by scientists at
JSS Medical Research, Inc., in Montreal, Canada.
Participants were between the ages of 40 and 75. This age
group normally has the most difficult time losing weight.
None of the subjects were given any physical activity or
dietary advice.

The results of the study were eye opening.  Those that were
not given the compound averaged zero pounds of weight loss,
while those given the natural compound lost on average 7% of
their body weight.

One can only imagine their results if they combined a
sensible diet plan with a regular exercise program.

These compounds show a lot of promise and may very well hold
the key to the obesity epidemic, especially for those who
consume a lot of fructose in their diets.  Always check with
your physician before taking any weight loss supplement.

How Hidden Psychological Trigger Helps You Easily Lose Weight


by Dorthy Weatherbush

You are fat.  Chubby, chunky, husky, robust, rotund, plump,
portly, large, stout, stubby, blubbery, flabby: fat. Look in
the mirror, at your pants size, on the scale.  Perhaps it
crept up on you one fast food lunch at a time.  Maybe you've
always been heavy.  Either way, you've decided; today is
your day.  Your road to skinny starts now.

But how? There are of course the usual answers.  Diet,
exercise, and eating right.  Of course, you respond.  I knew
you were going to say that.  Everyone knows that, it is
obvious.  But really, how?  What diet, which exercise? What
if you don't succeed? Well, you'll just be fat, the way you
are now.

The most difficult part on the highway to weight loss will
not be found in the gym.  Nor will it be found in the sweat
that drips down your face.  Your down turn will come very
slowly.  You will begin enthusiastic and energetic, and then
the wave of doubt will set in.  Or maybe worry, or even time
constraints.  What can you do to handle all of these things?
What is the miracle answer to finally being able to drop
that weight that has been holding you back for so long?  The
answer is simple and easy.  The journey to thing just got a
little easier.

The one most important factor to getting to successful
weight loss is this: figure out why you're doing it.  Why do
you want to lose weight?  Yes, you want to be healthy and
look great, but what is it that truly lights your fire?
Think about is: envision yourself thin.  What is it that you
are doing, where are you going to, what are you wearing?
This is your answer.  Write it down on paper. Flesh it out
until it is exactly the moment you are working toward.

If you want to be healthy, feel attractive, and keep up with
your kids, your why might be "to play tag wearing short
shorts in the park."  Make it as real as it is going to be.
Put it down on paper.  Give yourself ten good whys.  Now you
have them and they are cement. Use these as little reminders
to self that will keep you motivated to keep going on.  Is
it a vacation you are after?

An image of the small seat on European public transportation
will remind you to stay on that treadmill.  A Macy's
clothing catalog in the take out menu drawer will magically
remind you how to make a salad.  Your weight loss journey
and the motivation it takes to be successful are very
personal, but your 'whys' shouldn't be.  Share your 'whys'
with the people closest to you. Telling other about your
goals will give you just one more incentive to do well.

Whatever the 'whys' may be that you choose, your answer lies

(http://www.naturalherbalhealthproducts.com/category/overview/Weight_Loss/)
latest weight loss capsules seem to offer the easiest
solution for overweight people, since they can simply take
some pills and carry on with their normal eating behavior
and try to lose weight.

There is a wide range of fat burning weight loss pills  that
you can select from. These go from prescription drugs
manufactured synthetically to natural products that are
supposed to offer a safer alternative for the same effects.

But even natural weight loss pills can still have side
effects. In some people side effects of weight loss pills
resulted in severe reactions that can be extremely dangerous
to their health.

To ensure that your health won't be endangered in any way,
always discuss everything with your doctor first, no matter
if you are taking prescription or natural weight loss pills
. Particularly if you have any other health issues that need
to be discussed.

No matter what type of pill or product, natural or
synthetic, you plan to take to lose weight, you really
should discuss it with your doctor first. Ensure that your
health won't be endangered in any way. In particular, if you
have any other health issues that need to be discussed, do
so with a doctor before trying out the latest weight loss
capsules  by yourself. If possible, bring a sample of the
weight loss capsules you are planning to take for your
doctor to examine. They usually list the ingredients in
their containers which may help the doctor spot any
potential dangers to your health if you take them. Make sure
to discuss allergies if you have any.

Anyway, you are going to have to go through your doctor with
prescription drugs, so it would be a wise decision to talk
about all the alternatives before deciding on what's best
for you.

So, you ask: Do weight loss capsules work? Weight loss pills
can be highly effective when the right one is chosen for the
patient. Many people have had outstanding results in burning
fat in a relatively short time when they find a weight loss
capsule that suits their metabolism. On the other hand there
have been many people who have had considerable problems
with the weight loss capsules  that they have been using.
Either prescription or natural, some weight loss pills just
aren't suitable for them. Just as we have different
tendencies toward weight gain or weight loss, we also have
different reactions to different weight loss pills .

The key is finding the most effective weight loss pills
that works for you. Just remember to stay safe. Always see
the doctor first. It isn't worth putting your life at risk
just to lose weight, but with perseverance and the right
weight loss pill, you would be improving your life by
getting rid of that fat once and for all.

Lose Fat The Best Way


by David Moore

Being overweight is a big problem for many people in their
everyday lives. It is dangerous to have excess weight on
your body because of the health side effects, and it is also
considered to be unattractive in most cases. You should get
your basal metabolic rate checked if you are concerned about
your weight. Plan and start a fitness program with a healthy
diet and fitness schedule.

Whoever said that eating less is the way to get thin is
wrong. No amount of diet control will give you as effective
a result as one coupled with a workout.

If you plan to hit the gym, make sure you work out under a
certified gym instructor. Working out in the wrong way can
lead to major injuries and it might not give you the desired
results. Balance your exercise routine with the right amount
of cardio and weight training. Cardio burns the body's
stored calories very fast. It improves blood circulation to
and from the heart. Weight training burns muscle fat very
effectively.

You must eat properly in order to make your weight loss
permanent. However, you should never starve yourself to lose
weight. Your body is accustomed to a specific amount of food
which converts into energy to complete all the essential
bodily functions daily. Your body will react adversely if
you suddenly switch your daily intake of calories and
energy.

What you want to do is reduce those sources of foods that
include high dosages of calories, such as fat, oil and
unnecessary carbohydrates. Do not deprive yourself of the
nutrients you need. Make sure you get the sufficient amounts
of these nutrients while drinking plenty of water to assist
with digestion. Hydrate your body well to help flush out any
toxins from your body.

Replace aerated drinks with healthy fresh fruit juice. Have
brown bread and brown rice instead of white. Include a lot
of fruits, vegetables, and fiber into your diet. Do not let
go of all types of protein. Eggs and the occasional red meat
are allowed. Try to stick to fish so that you get good
amounts of fish oil. Also make sure you eat many small meals
instead of the typical three large meals.

Combine exercise and diet to increase your metabolism, and
your body will become a fat burning machine. You'll have
more energy all the time. Eat more meals more often and get
enough exercise every day.

By committing yourself to a regular exercise routine and a
healthy diet of wholesome foods you will begin to notice
that you can effectively lose the extra weight quickly.

The best ways to lose weight aren't trendy diets, but those
scientifically proven. See the best weight loss science
plans here with the

fastest way to lose weight known now. In addition, find out
how to target certain parts of your body for fat loss like

Successfully Burn Body fat


by Jason King

To successfully burn unwanted fat from your body the first
phase is to get your food combinations correct. No amount of
exercise will burn the fat that is continually put on your
body from a poor diet. Doing an extra 10 minutes cardio in
the evening because you cheated on your diet with a burger
at lunchtime just doesn't work.

Carbohydrates are an important ingredient in your quest to
lose weight. A diet that has gotten a lot of media attention
over the last few years is the low carb diet. Celebrities
have helped this rubbish way to lose weight get a lot of
exposure by endorsing it.

The problem with low carb diets is you lose muscle as well
as fat, and losing muscle slows down your metabolism. This
seems like a good thing while you're on your diet, but the
pounds will soon pile back on when you start eating a proper
balanced diet again.

Carbohydrates feed your muscles and give them the energy you
need to exercise. Low carb diets can make you feel grumpy
because of the lack of energy in your body. Depression soon
sets in when you cut carbs from your diet. And you're
suppose to feel good while you're dieting, and fell more
energetic.

Another fad diet is a low fat diet. The only reason to go on
a low fat diet is if you're suffering with an illness such
as heart disease. If you want to successfully lose weight
then fat is as important as any other nutrient.

Eating fat doesn't make you fat. Your weight loss program
will have a massive benefit from eating healthy unsaturated
fats. Cell regeneration in your body relies on healthy fats
in your diet. Fish oils such as omega 3's are now well known
for being good for the brain because the brain is largely
made of fat. This is the same for most of your body and some
vitamins and minerals need a healthy supply of fats to
transport themselves around your body.

Your muscles grow when you consume more protein which is why
protein is important for weight loss. When you feed your
muscles they get bigger, and then your metabolism increases.
You'll never successfully burn fat if you don't increase
your metabolic rate. With a higher metabolic rate your body
will burn more calories even while you're resting.

On top of your food combining you need to introduce a good
exercise program into your fat burning regime. When you
exercise your muscles grow, and you also burn extra
calories. When your muscles grow you increase your
metabolism, and your body burns fat faster then you could
have imagined.

Proper fat burning is easily achieved without the need of
any fad diet or wonder pill

by Xylene Belita

Are you planning to
(http://www.naturalherbalhealthproducts.com/category/overview/Weight_Loss/)
lose weight in 2 weeks and achieve the ideal weight you
always wanted? Then, you should put some active planning
into your weight loss program before you start so you will
definitely have a better chance of reaching your weight
goal.

Here are four important tips:

1) Know how much weight you want to lose. This is very
important because unless you have a solid goal in your mind
then it makes it more difficult to achieve your 2 weeks
weight loss plan.

2) Get professional advice before starting on any fat loss
program for important safety and health concerns. If you are
obese then you must absolutely do this! If you have any
health problems, it is essential to discuss things with your
doctor before starting any weight loss program as
significant changes in nutrition and exercise can place
additional loads on your body.

3) Request support of your friends and family to help you
with your goal to lose weight. You should understand that it
is very important to distance yourself from negative people
and those who do not really offer you any support because
there are always people around who do not want to see you
improve in your life and reach your goal to lose weight.

Let the world see that you can lose weight in just 2 weeks!

4) Take a photo of your body at the start of your weight
loss program. Stand in front of a mirror and look at your
body while visualizing how you want it to look. Usually, we
often forget how much progress we make. But with a photo,
you can look back and it offers you the encouragement you
need when there are times you feel like the going might be a
little more tough.

Can We Do anything About Childhood Obesity Or Is It Too late

by Elizabeth Akers

Childhood obesity epidemic can be blamed partly on the
popularity of fast food establishments. The up-size
mentality has taken its toll on children who naturally will
go for grubs that are bigger and excessive. But while the
nutritional needs of children are increasingly being
neglected by busy parents, the rapid advancement in
entertainment gadgets also play a big role in preventing the
kids from doing exercise or any amount of simple physical
activity for that matter. This can all translate to the fact
that many children today eat more calories than they can
spend. So putting two and two together, you can easily
figure out that the environment which the children of today
grow up in is a big factor in bringing about obesity.

Childhood obesity epidemic is a reality in the United States
and many other parts of the globe. As a matter of fact, more
than twenty percent of American children are considered to
be obese and this figure is steadily on the rise. Obesity is
basically defined as a condition where the body accumulates
excessive amounts of fat. To know if your child is indeed
obese, you can consult with your doctor or a dietician.

Childhood obesity epidemic can be blamed partly on the
popularity of fast food establishments. The up-size

go for grubs that are bigger and excessive. But while the

figure out that the environment which the children of today
grow up in is a big factor in bringing about obesity.

The childhood obesity epidemic can present big problems not
just for the young ones but for their parents as well.
Obesity is among the top causes of deadly diseases like
diabetes and hypertension. This condition can also trigger
coronary heart ailments and premature arthritis or joint
pains. More than all this, obese children may also suffer
from low self-esteem and other psycho-social disorders.
Needless to say, lack of self confidence can always lead to
slower performance in school, sports and even later on in
life.

The good news is that childhood obesity epidemic is not
something that's irreversible. Today, there are many
treatment programs that specifically address the needs of
obese children. Government and private health organizations
are also helping in minimizing, if not eliminating obesity
risk factors. However, treatment of obesity may take a long
time. Experts believe that a child will require an average
of at least eighteen months of treatment for every twenty
percent excess body fat. In other words, getting back to
one's ideal weight will be a hard and slow process.
Nevertheless, there is hope. If you do not want your child
to become a part of the obesity statistics, you can deal
with excess weight as early as now.  For more information

Fat Loss Plan

by David Moore

Just like people, fat loss plans come in various sizes and
shapes. If you follow them exactly they can work for you.
This is an essential point of losing weight. When you take
notice you will find that many of these programs generally
add content about a proper exercise and diet routine to use
in order to succeed. You can lose the weight you want when
you follow a healthy eating plan and getting proper
exercise.

Diets are only part of a fat loss program, because you have
to figure out a way to help speed up the use of that fat
that is already in place if you want to lose more weight
faster. Even if you cut your intake down now, it will still
mean that you have to burn through about 3500 calories just
to lose a pound of fat. Let's consider this a moment, if you
decrease your calorie count by 500 calories a day, that will
be 500x7 days, in a week you would lose 1 lb of fat from
your body.

Cutting 500 calories from a normal diet will leave many
people with only about 1500 calories a day, and this is a
tough diet to maintain week in and week out. If you would do
this for a year, though, you could conceivably lose 52 lbs
of fat over a year just by dieting.

You can burn calories faster and drop the weight when you
include some exercise to your fat loss plan. Including an
hour of exercise daily aids you in losing another one or two
pounds weekly.

You can boost your diet efforts by including those foods
that have a natural fat burning property to lose weight.
Remember to drink a lot of fresh water and unsweetened green
tea as well as vitamin supplements in order to increase your
ability to burn fat.

Include fresh fruits and vegetable while avoiding processed
foods and sugars is essential for weight loss. Face it,
there is no real diet plan that allows you to eat any type
of foods, especially the wrong food types and still lose
weight. It is not going to happen. In order to burn your fat
you will have to change and modify all your eating habits
and the foods you eat.

You will need to commit yourself to your diet and exercise
regime once you've planned it out and make sure not to cheat
too much. Only then will your fat loss plan be successful.

You will get better results with a more intense fat loss
program. You can find a program that works for you while
being fun and easy to follow. In order to get the results
you desire you will make it work for you. When you see how
fast you can begin to lose weight you will be encouraged to
continue the path to better health.

Trendy diets only work for some people. That is why they do
not last very long.. Only diets and fitness schedules that
are proven by science can give you

quick fat loss that will last. Learn more about how you can
