Top 10 Power Packed Foods That Will Not Sabotage Your Weight Loss Efforts

May 10th, 2010 Lisa Paule

As you know weight loss is linked to the foods that you put into your tummy. Great nutrition and exercise can, not only make you lose weight, but it can let you live a healthier and longer life and it can leave your skin looking young and vibrant.

Here is a list of foods that will give you energy and make you feel good, so that when you hit the gym, you are feeling strong and have the power to do the exercises you need for losing weight.

1. Beans – I am talking about kidney, navy, lentils, chickpeas and Northern which are all high in protein.  The best part of you eating these beans is that they contain very little fat, carbs and calories, so they will not sabotage your weight loss efforts.

2. Oatmeal – Oatmeal has great health benefits as it lowers the blood cholesterol. Oatmeal will fill you up and it will give you the fibers that your body craves for.

3. Fruits – fruits are best known for the anti oxidants that they contain with the many health benefits.

4. Allium foods – these foods have amazing health benefits such as aiding the body against cancer, lowering the blood pressure and preventing blood clots. So, next time you do your shopping, make sure you get onions, garlic, shallots and leeks.

5. Salmon – Stock up on that salmon because it is rich in protein and it contains the good fats that are recommended for your body. Did I forget to mention that it reduces heart disease?

6. Flax seed – these seeds contain omega 3 fatty acids, omega 6 fatty acids and omega 9 fatty acids. These are must buy foods, they fight diabetes, heart disease and high cholesterol.

7. Peppers – peppers contain vitamin c and beta-carotene, which are antioxidants. All peppers contain capsaicin, which helps to lower cancer risks and heart diseases.

8. Nuts and seeds – I know what you are thinking! Yes nuts are high in fat but they contain good fats as well as protein. So, it is ok to eat peanuts, almonds, Brazil nuts, walnuts and pistachios. They also help to lower the cholesterol.

9. Açai – I bet you have heard about this one. It increases your energy levels and it is rich in antioxidants.

10. Yogurt – yogurt contains calcium, vitamin b and protein. If you are concerned about your weight loss efforts, go for fat free.

Do your body a favor and stock up on these foods . . .

How To Lose 15 Pounds From 6 Weeks

May 6th, 2010 Lisa Paule

Losing weight is a battle for a lot of people, and most people have tried different products to get the results they desire. However, it is easier said than done. I am going to show you how I lost 15 pounds in 6 weeks, and if I can do it, you can too. All you need to be successful is a little determination and commitment.

  • Stop skipping breakfast, no matter how much in a hurry you are. Started eating  high fiber foods like high fiber cereals and whole wheat bread with my breakfast. Fiber makes you feel full for longer and it is great for your bowels.
  • You need to cut off visible fat from meat and eat chicken without the skin.
  • Fill your grocery list with these veggies : lettuce, baby marrow, cabbage, gem squash, mushroom, asparagus, peppers, spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, cucumber, onion, tomato. These foods are great for your waistline and they will also do wonders for your health.
  • Grill or boil food and stay away from frying. If you have to fry something, make sure you use a non stick pan, so that you can use minimal oil.
  • Drink plenty of water throughout the day, target at least 8 glasses a day.
  • Try to avoid these foods – cool drinks and alcohol rather drink juice or tea or water. Sweets, biscuits, pies, pastries, large fatty meat portions, cheese and sausages, you should only consume these foods on your cheat days and be strict about portion sizes.
  • Set time aside for exercise. Start with 3 to 5 times a week and aim for 30 minutes to an hour of exercise for each session. Do cardio and weight training, and incorporate interval training with your cardio.
  • Do 3 small meals a day, with snacks in between breakfast and lunch as well lunch and supper. The best snacks are fruits or vegetables in between your meals.
  • Try not to eat 4 hours before you go to bed.
  • Learn how to read food labels, it really comes in handy. This will help you keep count of your calorie consumption.
  • Stay away from fast foods and when you do go out, opt for healthier food options, for example, have fresh vegetables instead of opting for fries.

There are other things you can do, but just implementing these strategies will see you losing those pounds. There is really no miracle when it comes to losing weight and keeping it off, so do not put it off any longer. Start today and try to have fun with it. It is a great investment to your health.

My Top 5 Cardio Exercises For Burning Calories

May 1st, 2010 Lisa Paule

I love cardio, because it is part of the reason why I am achieving my weight loss goals. I do at least 4 to 5 of cardio a week, and each session lasts at least 45 minutes. The thing with cardio is that it needs to be mixed up, so that your body does not get accustomed to doing the same exercises, so as to avoid the weight loss plateau.

To get the best out of your cardio training, you need to include interval training as you work out, it will basically notch up your training efforts. My top 5 cardio exercises for burning calories are:

  • Running. Running burns some serious calories, depending on the speed you are running at. Not only does it burn calories, but it shapes your legs, hips and thighs. All you need are a good pair of running shoes and you are ready to start toning your legs. The only downside about running is that it strains the joints, otherwise it is a great workout to burn calories.
  • Brisk Walking. This is a great alternative to running and I have used it quite a bit when I was feeling lazy to run or just did not have the energy. It is less stressful for the joints and you can get creative with walking by adding sprints or an incline.
  • Cycling. This is my number one all time favorite and it can burn you up to 500 calories an hour depending on your speed and resistance. Not only that, it will tone those thighs and bring a nice definition to them.
  • Rowing. I love that it works your upper and lower body, and it give your arms a nice workout. Make sure you increase the intensity and treat it as a workout. It is a really fun exercise to do.
  • Swimming. Another favorite because it a total body workout. I don’t know about you, I love being in the water. When I am swimming, I do not even feel like I am working out because I enjoy it so much.

There are other great workouts that can give you real results when it comes to getting fit, burning calories and losing weight. Have you tried any of the following? Aerobics, spinning, jumping rope . . . the list goes on.

Exercise plays an integral part in helping you achieve your weight loss goals, but your nutrition is on the other side of the coin. It is just as important as exercise, and it will ensure that you eat healthily, with foods that are doing justice to your body.

These above are just my top 5  . . . What are your top 5 exercises to do?

How Can I Get Rid Of Love Handles?

April 28th, 2010 Lisa Paule

A lot of people want to know the answer to this one question. As a result a lot of people are doing hundreds and thousands of sit ups a week, in the hope of burning the fat off their waistline.

Unfortunately, just doing sit ups is not going to get you the desired results. All that ab exercises do is to strengthen the rectus abdominis muscles. If you really want to get rid of your waistline, you need to engage your body in exercises that involve a lot of your body muscles. When you use more of your body muscles, you actually burn more calories, as opposed to the calories you would burn if you were just doing ab exercises.

To achieve the results you want, you need to do both cardio training and resistance training. Whatever exercises you choose to do, you will burn more calories if you involve more muscles in your body. Spot toning will be ineffective because to burn that extra fat, you need to raise your metabolism enough to be able to burn the calories off. It is all about overall weight loss and decreasing your body fat.

Of course exercise is extremely important when it comes to burning fat on your waistline. However, the other half of the coin that is just as important to your weight loss on your belly is your diet. You can do all the right exercises, at the right intensity, with the right cardio, but you will not get your desired results if the food that you eat is sabotaging your weight loss efforts. Well at least, not that soon.

If you are finally ready to see those abs, The Truth About Abs is the program I would recommend. Now you can put aside all the excuses and get the results you desire.
