If you have been struggling with your weight and your diet still consists of foods that are high in calories and are resulting in you packing on the pounds, this is for you. I am going to reveal foods that you can eat, that leave you feeling full without adding on the calories.
Foods that are low in calories can have amazing benefits for the body. Most have a high level of fiber, which is great for weight loss because fiber leaves you feeling fuller for longer, and so you are less likely to overeat.
Most of these foods have a high water content, which is beneficial for ones health and the skin.
Another great component with most of these foods is that they are a great source of protein, which is great for muscle building and burning fat.
Low calorie foods are great for weight loss, but they should be mixed with foods that have a high calorie content, so that the body body does not get used to just eating low calorie foods, as this will slow down the metabolism. Just remember to control your portion sizes when you consume high calorie foods.
Here are some of these low calorie foods that will do wonders not only for your health, but for your waistline:
watermelons
orange
apples
grapefruit
spinach
cucumber
broccoli
lettuce
pineapple
tomato and a whole lot more!
The list comprises of vegetables and fruits, and so my message is, if you stick to lots of fruits and vegetables in your diet, that is a very great start for you.

Wouldn’t it be a dream if we were able to burn fat naturally, while we are asleep or just going about our day? The truth is we can . . . but it will not hurt to help the body burn more calories, with little effort.
One of the obvious ways to help our bodies burn fat naturally is to speed up our metabolism. The metabolism is dependent on gender and heredity, but there are things that you can do to help things along. So here goes . . .
Do not skip breakfast. Breakfast is very instrumental in how your body’s metabolism is going to be throughout the day. Skipping breakfast makes your body think that you are starving, therefore your metabolism slows down. Kick start your metabolism every morning with a well balanced diet and you are off to a great start!
Green tea has been proven to burn calories, so try and sip on some green tea as go through your day. You could burn up to 50 calories just from drinking two cups a day.
Keep your body hydrated throughout the day. Dehydration causes the metabolism to slow down.
Eat healthy foods that comprise of fruits and vegetables. Here is an article on Fat Burning Foods, that will speed up your metabolism.
Get moving, you will burn calories without it feeling like exercise. Use the stairs instead of the lift, park far from the entrance at the grocery store, take your dog for a walk – just doing these will make a difference.
So there you have it, if you just implemented these tips for burning fat naturally, you will speed up your metabolism and burn more calories.
Here is an article from Jon Benson that is guaranteed to benefit your weight loss efforts, and get you leaner faster than you thought . . .
Want to be leaner?
Good deal… here’s 5 tips that will help you along…
TIP 1 Ditch The Starch
Starches, such as rice, potatoes, some veggies, oats, etc. are often considered “health foods.”
While they can be healthy, they can also pack on stomach bodyfat like crazy if you overdo them.
As you may know, my “Every Other Day Diet” System (EODD) actually encourages you to eat starches and even sweets several days a week to get rid of excess weight:
( Some of you may see a survey here on how best to help with your bodyweight goals. )
Well… how does THAT work?
Simple: Timing is everything.
And we take a “weekly” approach to foods rather than a daily approach. This keeps your metabolism guessing. If your body cannot figure out what you’re up to, fatburning is that much more powerful. And you can get by with eating starches… at least a specific times on specific days.
But if you’re not going to do EODD, then you’ll have to wing it. And the best way to wing it is to simply cut starches out entirely for 4-8 weeks. Then slowly add them back a few days per week.
This is no where near as effective (or as fun) as the EODD method, but it will get you pointed in the right direction.
TIP 2
Can The Sodas
This one is really hard for me. I’ve been hooked on diet-soda on and off for years. When I go to get into top shape (like I am now) I have to get rid of the diet-sodas… yes, DIET-sodas. Need I say “real” sodas too? They are loaded with sugar.
Why diet-sodas? A recent study revealed that people who drank diet-sodas actually increased bodyfat when compared to those who drank sugar-sodas. What the… ??
Yep. Your body cannot be fooled by aspartame and chemicals. Sorry, but that’s the truth.
Here’s a personal story: When I cut out the diet-sodas my bodyfat drops like a rock in a pond of clear water.
And that’s what you need to be drinking: A quart of pure water per 50 lbs of bodyweight a day.
I mix it with lemon and a bit of Stevia (an herbal sweetener) and make lemonade. It’s wonderful!
TIP 3
Stay Hungry
Arnold’s first movie was “Stay Hungry” (well, after “Pumping Iron” that is). You cannot rest on your butt and stay hungry. You cannot think you’ve “arrived” and stay hungry.
It takes a special person to be hungry… and an even greater one to stay that way.
I want you to stay hungry in two ways: In how you workout and literally… stay a bit hungry before you go to bed. Not “starving”… just a bit hungry.
For your workouts, I have a great solution. If you pick up EODD you’ll get a limited shot at “7 Minute Body”… my combination of “7 Minute Muscle” and “The 7 Minute In-Home Workout” in one book… and for more than half off… but that’s a very limited deal. Gotta have EODD… you’ll need them both…
( Some of you may see a survey here on how best to help with your bodyweight goals. )
You see, progression — “forced” progression — is the best way to stay hungry. 7 Minute Body forces you to progress without thinking about it. Progression is built into the System.
As far as staying hungry at night? Check with your doctor and if he/she okays it take 500mg of potassium and 1000mg of magnesium/calcium a few hours prior to bed. This helps with the hunger pangs. Also, keep hard-boiled eggs in the fridge. If you get really hungry, eat one with half the yolk (toss the other half.) It keeps me full for an hour at least.
TIP 4
Cardio Clarity
Hours and hours of cardio a day is not the answer. However, you can do “light” cardio (i.e. brisk walking, or riding the bike at 60% of your max) just to burn off calories. That’s okay… and personally I don’t find it that boring if I’m watching a TV show. It does not interfere with my main fatloss exercise (weight training… YES!) and it burns off about 400 calories an hour.
What does work is early morning fasting cardio… but you only need 9-15 minutes. I explain the GXP Protocol (Modified) in the 7 Minute Body book, available only if you pick up EODD, and you can get it at more than half off:
( Some of you may see a survey here on how best to help with your bodyweight goals. )
TIP 5
Get Raw At Night
Raw veggies with your last meal and as a snack will really help your fatburning along. I started with red peppers because they’re sweet. Now I eat virtually every veggie raw at night without thinking about it. Give this a shot. The fatloss is well worth it.
—-> Note : Jon is still giving away “Radical Fatloss Blueprint” along with EODD for a few more days. And he is giving a lucky few the chance to pick up the Supplement-Kit that comes with Radical Fatloss for almost 100 bucks off… the video and details are here:
I love walking, probably because I do not feel like I am exercising. It is the most natural form of exercise that a person can do, and it is great for one’s health. It also does not require you to buy an expensive piece of equipment, one just needs a good pair of walking shoes.
The question today is, can walking reduce your waist and flatten your stomach?
Drumroll please! . . . . . . . yes it can!
Actually, walking is part of the reason why I lost 20 pounds.
If you are overweight and you want to lose those extra inches, walking is a great start for you. It will improve your health as you lose weight and you will look good and feel great!
One can lose weight successfully just from walking, but you will have more success if you combine your walking efforts with a proper diet.
Now before you hit the road, do you have a goal? You need to make a weight loss goal and you need to decide how much weight you want to lose, and how much time you are giving yourself to lose that weight. Writing down your goal will keep you focused on what you want to accomplish.
You also need to track your progress, so you can get encouraged as you start losing the weight. There will be times when you are feeling discouraged, or maybe you are low on motivation or you gain a pound or two, it does not mean your weight loss efforts are in vain. You need to keep your focus and keep at it.
Remember walking burns calories so the further you walk and the faster pace you go the more calories you’re burning. Start out your walking exercises slow and work your way up the ladder picking up the pace at the same time.
Warm ups need to be done for about 5 minutes before you walk and than cooling down 5 or 10 minutes after the walk. You want to warm up to get your muscles and joints loosened up, cool down to slow the heart rate, and bring the blood pressure back to its normal range.
Your walking exercises in itself should last at least 30 minutes. During this 30 minutes each day you should be able to pick up the pace and walk further. While your walking, take the talk test every once in awhile. The talk test is if you can’t talk and breath while walking than your walking to fast so slow down some. You want to be able to carry conservation with someone while your walking.
Try and make the walks fun, otherwise you will get bored fast and you will not do it long enough to reap the amazing benefits. Take your mp3 or ipod when you go on your walks, or invite a family member to come with you, or if you have a dog, take him along. You can pitch the idea to your spouse and children, and it can be a special time for the whole family to bond and do something healthy together.
As you keep walking, and increasing the pace and distance of your walk, you will realize that you are getting fitter and leaner. As you lose fat off your body, so you will be dropping inches off your tummy. And the more inches off your body you drop, the more closer you get to flattening that stomach and exposing your 6 pack.
Taking the decision to exercise and eat properly is not to be taken lightly. It requires quite a commitment, but the reward are worth it.
Getting a six pack is not all about exercise, because even with all the exercises you can do, if you have fat around your waist, there is no way you will be able to see the six pack abs.
So the exercises you do coupled with the food that you eat will result in better success for you. When it comes to abs, there are foods that you should eat, and foods that will make your getting abs next to impossible.
Here are some of the good foods: foods that are high in protein like tuna, salmon, eggs and foods that are high in fiber like fruits, vegetables, whole grains are just some of the foods that you need as part of your diet.
Also important are the usual suspects like staying away from alcohol, avoiding junk food and avoid foods with a high salt content.
In addition to the foods that you should eat when you are trying to get six pack abs, there are also those that you need to stay away from. These include simple carbohydrates as well as complex carbohydrates.
Dairy is also a product that is high in fat and should be limited. Take fiber by capsules instead of through breads or vegetables, as they tend to be high in sugars. You will want to eliminate all of the sugars from your diet when you
are going for six pack abs.
Remember that it is important to eat all of the foods on the food pyramid. It is never a good idea to eliminate one type of food over another for a long period of time. When you are looking to build the perfect abs, you should concentrate on a high protein diet, but still eat vegetables as well as whole grains and dairy.
But sweets have no place in your diet as they do not offer any nutritional value whatsoever. Simple carbohydrates are
absorbed quickly and do not stick around long enough to give your body any sort of nutrition. Eliminate simple carbohydrates and starches from your diet if you want to have lean, rock hard perfect abs.
Remember when it comes to getting a flat stomach and exposing your abs, it really boils down to weight loss. It is about exercise, eating the right foods, how frequently one eats the right foods and being consistent in ones efforts to make the change to eating healthier.
