Here are ten steps that you can follow to lose weight, keep it off, and explode your energy levels.

1. Eat in a calm and relaxed atmosphere. Be very thankful for the food you are given to eat. In most cases something that was living was sacrificed so you could eat. Taste and enjoy every bite you take.

2. Don’t over-eat. Only eat until you are 80% full. You will notice that about ten minutes later you will feel full.

There is a slight time delay between eating the food and your body registering itself as full. That is usually why you feel tired weighted down after eating everything on your plate at a restaurant.

Your brain and taste buds are satisfied, but your body has to pay the price. Once you get used to this you should also see an increase in energy levels because the body is getting the right amount of food.

3. Chew all of your food thoroughly. You also should limit how much you chew gum, it stimulates your digestive juices unnecessarily.

4. Drink at least 8 cups of purified water every day. You should drink water between meals only. I know it may seem crazy that I have to mention this, but: soda, juice, and coffee are not water.

I have had many of my clients tell me that they don’t need water because the drinks I just listed usually have water within the ingredients. Every time I respond, “are you kidding me!”

5. Do not consume large amounts of liquid right before, during, or after any meal. This diluted your digestive juices. That also goes for frozen drinks with meals because they freeze digestive enzyme cells, which interrupts the digestive process.

6. Do not eat fruit and meat together. This can give you an upset stomach.

7. Allow your digestive system some rest time. This means that you should try not to eat within at least two hours of your bedtime. Your body requires a fasting period (not eating) of usually ten to twelve hours in order to cleanse and rejuvenate itself properly. Try it, you will wake up with more energy.

8. Include raw(uncooked) vegetables with each meal, that way you provide your body with enzymes that break down the food particles you eat.

9. Please choose healthy food choices. The above recommendations will do little to no good if you eat a lot of fast food, and other junk food. Remember you are as healthy as what you put into your body.

10. Eat spicy! It helps cleanse the body and it increases your metabolism. Pay attention next time you eat something spicy, as long as you don’t eat too much food, you should feel a lot of energy afterward.

I am not asking you to burn your tongue off or go into convulsions, but you should eat as much spicy food as you can tolerate. If it does get to hot, drink milk or something creamy, not water. Water makes the burn worse.

There are some foods that you must avoid to eat because they make you fat. In this article I give you a list of high fat foods. Perhaps you don’t know it but fat and fat is not the same.

Goods fats vs. bad fats. You need to eat fats they are required for your health. Dr Udo Erasmus has said it already there are fats that heal and fats that kill. The problem is that most people are not aware of this and they choose for 100% fat free foods. A word of caution here the food can be 100% free but at the same time it can contain a lot of sugar.

Bad fats are:
- Trans fats.
- Saturated fats

Good fats are:

- Monounsaturated fats.
- Polyunsaturated fats.

In this article we concentrate us on a list of foods that contain bad fats.

High fat foods that are bad for you. Saturated fats. Studies have shown that diets high in saturated fats increase the risk of hart disease. They also increase the level of LDL (bad) cholesterol in your blood. Products that are high in saturated fats are.

- Butter
- Ice cream (contains milkfat)
- Cheese
- Chicken fat
- Meat fat
- Palm oil
- Coconut oil - Beef
- Lamb
- Pork
- Veal
A lot of animal products contain saturated fats and in some cases foods from plants.

Trans fats. Just like saturated fats there is a relationship between trans fats and bad cholesterol level. Products that contain trans fats are.
- Some margarines
- Cookies
- Crackers
- Snack foods
- Shortening
- Doughnuts
- Cake
- Frozen foods
- Potato chips
- Candy

Yes, I know…..one of the basic ideas of dieting is to reduce food intake. But are you aware that it is really the type of food you eat that’s important, rather than the quantity?

The idea of avoiding certain food types is not a big secret. However, it is the science behind the selection of the food that throws many people off- track.

Well, here’s some help to make it all simple. Click Here!to find out more from a Kinesiologist.

10. Exercising is the “Fountain of Youth”… it can reverse the natural decline in metabolism that begins around age thirty. As we enter our 30’s, about ½ pound of muscle is lost each year and replaced by fat. A pound of muscle burns more calories than a pound of fat. Which means…

9. Your body will burn more calories when you’re sitting on your muscular buttocks than if you’re sitting on your “big fat butt”…Muscle is an active tissue that burns 30 to 50 calories per pound at rest each day. A pound of fat only burns three calories per day.

8. Get Fit! Get Happy!…Exercising elevates your mood. Studies have shown that lifting weights provides some of the same benefits as anti-depressant medication but without the side effects (except improved self-esteem and self-confidence.)

7. To keep from saying “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!”… Exercising improves

your balance and coordination.

6. If you do fall you’re more likely to get up uninjured…Lifting weights strengthens

muscles and connective tissues, decreasing the likelihood of injury.

5. You did fall and you couldn’t get up…Exercising helps with recovery and rehabilitation. The stronger you are the faster you recover. Pumping iron has also been

shown to help ease the pain of some forms of arthritis… by as much as 40 percent!

4. Your Mom told you to sit up straight…and she would want you to lift weights because it strengthens the abdominal and back muscles that support your spine, which

improves your posture.

3. Someone told you to “break a leg”…Exercising increases bone density and

reduces your risk of developing osteoporosis.

2. You want your heirs to live well on their inheritance… but not any time soon…the Framingham Heart Study, which has followed over 5,000 residents of Framingham, Massachusetts over four decades (and still going), has shown that people who exercised vigorously for 30 minutes five days per week, lived almost 4 years longer than their peers, with good health in their later years. People who walked 5 days per week added 1.3 to 1.5 years to their lives.

1. It’s never too late to start…See reason #10…Studies on the elderly show weight training causes significant increases in strength, muscle growth, and quality of life, even for people starting to exercise in their 80’s or 90’s. But why wait until you’re 90 to improve your quality of life??? Start today!

How many times have you gone to sleep at night, swearing you’ll go to the gym in the morning, and then changing your mind just eight hours later because when you get up, you don’t feel like exercising?

While this can happen to the best of us, it doesn’t mean you should drop the ball altogether when it comes to staying fit. What people need to realize is that staying active and eating right are critical for long-term health and wellness — and that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. The more you know about how your body responds to your lifestyle choices, the better you can customize a nutrition and exercise plan that is right for you. When you eat well, increase your level of physical activity, and exercise at the proper intensity, you are informing your body that you want to burn a substantial amount of fuel. This translates to burning fat more efficiently for energy.
In other words, proper eating habits plus exercise equals fast metabolism, which, in turn gives you more energy throughout the day and allows you to do more physical work with less effort.

The true purpose of exercise is to send a repetitive message to the body asking for improvement in metabolism, strength, aerobic capacity and overall fitness and health. Each time you exercise, your body responds by upgrading its capabilities to burn fat throughout the day and night, Exercise doesn’t have to be intense to work for you, but it does need to be consistent.

I recommend engaging in regular cardiovascular exercise four times per week for 20 to 30 minutes per session, and resistance training four times per week for 20 to 25 minutes per session. This balanced approach provides a one-two punch, incorporating aerobic exercise to burn fat and deliver more oxygen, and resistance training to increase lean body mass and burn more calories around the block.

Here’s a sample exercise program that may work for you:

* Warm Up — seven to eight minutes of light aerobic activity intended to increase blood flow and lubricate and warm-up your tendons and joints.

* Resistance Training — Train all major muscle groups. One to two sets of each exercise. Rest 45 seconds between sets.

* Aerobic Exercise — Pick two favorite activities, they could be jogging, rowing, biking or cross-country skiing, whatever fits your lifestyle. Perform 12 to 15 minutes of the first activity and continue with 10 minutes of the second activity. Cool down during the last five minutes.

* Stretching — Wrap up your exercise session by stretching, breathing deeply, relaxing and meditating.

When starting an exercise program, it is important to have realistic expectations. Depending on your initial fitness level, you should expect the following changes early on.

* From one to eight weeks — Feel better and have more energy.

* From two to six months — Lose size and inches while becoming leaner. Clothes begin to fit more loosely. You are gaining muscle and losing fat.

* After six months — Start losing weight quite rapidly.

Once you make the commitment to exercise several times a week, don’t stop there. You should also change your diet and/or eating habits,’ says Zwiefel. Counting calories or calculating grams and percentages for certain nutrients is impractical. Instead, I suggest these easy-to-follow guidelines:

* Eat several small meals (optimally four) and a couple of small snacks throughout the day
* Make sure every meal is balanced — incorporate palm-sized proteins like lean meats, fish, egg whites and dairy products, fist-sized portions of complex carbohydrates like whole-wheat bread and pasta, wild rice, multigrain cereal and potatoes, and fist-sized portions of vegetable and fruits
* Limit your fat intake to only what’s necessary for adequate flavor
* Drink at least eight 8-oz. glasses of water throughout the day
* I also recommend that you take a multi-vitamin each day to ensure you are getting all the vitamins and minerals your body needs.

Enjoy life, we all deserve it.
