			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="body">
<p>People say this a lot but no matter how many diets they try nothing works. From the Adkins Diet to the South Beach Diet most people have not been successful with the diets they have tried. Besides, did you know that when you find a diet that  works you will have to stay on it for the rest of your life or you will gain all the weight you lost back again? So when choosing a diet choose one that you can live with forever. Although, most of our weight gain is most often caused not by overeating or eating the wrong foods but an unhealthy diet. An unhealthy diet  can help to cause a weight gain. However, most of that weight gain is caused by an unclean colon.</p>
<p>What is a colon? The colon is the large intestine which is the last stop in the digestive system. It collects all of the toxic waste produced by the food we eat and the  waste our bodies produce. It collects the waste and turns it into feces which is then eliminated in the form of a bowel movement. Constipation, diarrhea, loss of energy and depression can all be caused by an unclean colon. An unclean colon will accumulate bad bacteria on its walls which will cause the waste material to stick to the walls and cause a clog which will keep waste adding up in the colon. It can cause your colon to accumulate from twenty to twenty five pounds of waste and cause a weight gain which no diet system can eliminate. The only thing that will help a dirty colon is a colon cleanser or a good fibrous diet. You should also be aware that when the bad bacteria accumulates the good bacteria is disposed of which can lead to serious medical problems.</p>
<div id="attachment_171" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 350px"><a href="http://www.loisurluni.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/healthy-diet-for-teens.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-171" title="healthy diet wanted" src="http://www.loisurluni.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/healthy-diet-for-teens.jpg" alt="healthy diet wanted" width="340" height="353" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">healthy diet wanted</p></div>
<p>A good fibrous diet will detoxify and help to maintain and support your colon and the entire digestive system. A fibrous diet or fiber cleansing product are easy and pleasant to take and the results are great. No more  depression, sluggishness, loss of energy or weight gain. The use of fiber regularly will reduce the weight because it will eliminate the clog in the colon which, as I mentioned before,  can weigh from twenty to twenty five pounds.</p>
<p>There are many fiber products on the market and if you are confused as to which one to buy ask you doctor or your pharmacist as they are the authorities in that department. A nutritionist is the person to see to get a line on a good healthy fibrous diet. Don&#8217;t wait. Start now to get on the road to good health.</p></div>

You may have heard stories about people who have lost dozens of pounds simply switching to diet soda or walking a few minutes each day. These are all small habits that contribute to a big difference and increase your metabolism over time.  You will make weight loss quicker and easier by increasing your metabolic rate and burning more calories.</p>
<p>1) Move More</p>
<p>Sedentary people burn about one-third less calories per day.  By simply taking every opportunity to move can make quite a dramatic difference to the amount of calories you burn in one day. Small movements will add up over time to lots of calories.  The trick is to keep moving throughout your day. Write the word ‘move’ on post-it notes and put them in places you’ll notice them when you’re sitting still. Then, take every opportunity to move – here’s some ideas for burning extra calories:</p>
<p>Tap your feet<br />
Swing your legs<br />
Stand up and stretch<br />
Move your head from side to side<br />
Change position<br />
Wriggle and fidget<br />
Pace up and down<br />
Use the restroom upstairs<br />
Park in the furthest corner of the parking lot<br />
Stand up when you’re on the phone and step from side to side<br />
Clench and release your muscles</p>
<p>2) Eat Little and Often</p>
<p>Evidence suggests that eating small meals every 2-4 hours will keep your metabolism burning faster than larger, less frequent meals. When you eat small amounts often your body is constantly working to digest and absorb food which requires energy.</p>
<p>3) Eat Fat</p>
<p>If you want feel good and keep the fat off you need to first put it in.  Fat not only tastes good our bodies need it to work efficiently.  By consuming several servings of ‘healthy’ fats every day you will actually increase your calorie burning potential.  Try incorporating fats like Flaxseed oil, hempseed oil, olive oil, avocados, salmon, albacore tuna, nuts and seeds into your diet daily.</p>
<p>4) Drink Cold Water</p>
<p>Evidence shows that your body might expend more calories trying to raise cold water to the temperature of your body then hot beverages. And overall being well hydrated will help your body’s metabolic processes burn quicker.</p>
<p>5) Exercise With Weights</p>
<p>Training with weights boosts your metabolism in a number of ways. By lifting weights you will build muscle tissue. And muscle tissue is metabolically active, so it requires calories even when at rest and so it helps to increase fat-burning enzymes in your body.</p>
<p>6) Spice up</p>
<p>Eating hot spices might speed up your metabolism.  Just half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day can help boost metabolism and keep blood sugar levels in check. Can’t stand the thought of cinnamon in your morning cup of coffee? Spice up with cayenne, crushed red pepper or wasabi.</p>
<p>7) Eat More Protein</p>
<p>Protein requires a more complex chemical breakdown by your body in order to be digested and used as fuel. For example, 100 calories of protein may take up to 30 calories to process.   Protein also takes longer to digest and helps to stabilize blood sugar for longer periods of time  and this can help you to not overeat later in the day.  Eat a portion of protein at every meal and as part of your snacks and you will increase the total number of calories you burn each day.</p>

<p>The 6 Week Body Makeover is built on the theory that each person has a unique shape that defines his or her body in its natural state as it was meant to be.</p>
<p>The assertion that each individual person has a unique metabolism that is specific to his or her body type is another cardinal principle of the 6 week body makeover.</p>
<p>The program is a highly motivational one and centers on a basic idea of individuality.<br />
And it will help you create a diet that is customized to your body shape or metabolism.</p>
<p>Other advantages of the 6 week body makeover includes the development of a unique metabolic system that will enable you burn more weight than in the case of a normal diet.</p>
<p>No doubt, the people behind the 6 week body makeover seem to have to have found an interesting and innovative concept, because studies show many find the program appealing and exciting, due to its focus on individuals.</p>
<p>Just some few steps are required to kick-start your own personalized program. The first one is to identify the right program that would allow you to lose weight in a short time.</p>
<p>The 6 week body makeover helps you out with its lucid instructions on how to fill out a questionnaire that helps pinpoint your specific metabolism type.</p>
<p>After the initial step, the next hurdle is the matching of your shape and general body size to the sample drawings.</p>
<p>If you can match the drawing that best depicts your body shape and size, then you have determined your specific problem areas.</p>
<p>Both your metabolism type, as defined by the questionnaire, and your problem areas as defined by the shape and size drawing are combined together. And it is from this the 6 week body makeover is developed.</p>
<p>The program includes plans where meals are designed to help you feel energized and healthy and a simple body-sculpting workout program that targets your problem areas.</p>
<p>This exciting 6 Week Body Makeover concept still carries the same basic principle of successful weight loss programs.</p>
<p>Whose basic focus is on proper diet and nutrition as well as regular exercise.</p>
<p>We may not really need a program to figure this out, but a program like the 6 Week Body Makeover may push some of us in the right direction.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-87" src="http://loisurluni.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/fruitsveggies-300x199.jpg" alt="fruitsveggies-300x199" width="270" height="179" />We all know by now that we should be eating at least five servings of fruits and vegetables each day. But knowing and doing are two different things, aren’t they? Sometimes it is just not easy to get them all in there. We are constantly tempted to fill up on convenience and junk food. If your family is anything like mine, they’d much rather fill up on a bag of chips or a bowl of rice or pasta instead of trying an apple or a plate of steamed broccoli. So we’ll have to get creative. Here are a few ideas to “sneak” some extra vegetables and fruits in your family’s diet.</p>
<p>1. Start the day with a breakfast smoothie. All you have to do is throw some fruits, low-fat yogurt and ice in a blender. You may also want to add a scoop of protein powder in there for good measure. Just blend for a few seconds and you have the perfect breakfast ready to go. I like to sip mine in a thermal cup on the way to work. To make it even more appealing for your kids, use some frozen yogurt or a scoop of ice cream in the smoothie. They won’t believe that you are letting them have ice cream for breakfast.</p>
<p>2. Dried fruit makes an excellent snack any time of the day. Add some small cartons of raisins to your child’s lunch box, pack some yogurt-covered raisins in your husband’s briefcase and keep some trail mix sitting around for snacking. You can also add dried fruit to oatmeal and cereal in the morning. My family loves banana chips in their breakfast cereal.</p>
<p>3. Add some fruits and vegetables to your family’s sandwiches. You can add some banana, sliced apples or strawberry slices to a peanut butter sandwich. Top a turkey sandwich with lettuce, tomato, cucumber and anything else they will eat. You can even make a sub shop style vegetable sandwich by combining several different vegetables with some mayonnaise and cheese on bread.</p>
<p>4. Have a salad bar at dinner. Set out a variety of chopped vegetables, some cheese and croutons as well as several choices of salad dressing along with the lettuce and let everybody create their own perfect salad.</p>
<p>5. Let them drink their fruits and vegetables. Keep an assortment of fruit and vegetable juices in the fridge and encourage everyone to drink them as a snack. Get creative. You could start “family cocktail hour” by pouring everybody a glass of his or her favorite juice over ice. Add some straws, cocktail umbrellas and sit together to talk about how everybody’s day went.</p>
<p>6. Try this for dessert. Put a small scoop of ice cream or frozen yogurt in a bowl and top it with lots of fresh or frozen fruit.</p>
<p>7. Offer fruits and vegetables as snacks. You can cut apples into slices and top them with peanut butter or cheese. Cube cheese and serve with grapes. Cut up some fresh veggies and serve them with ranch dip. And of course there’s ants on a log. Spread some cream cheese or peanut butter on the inside of a stick of celery and sprinkle raisins on it (wow, fruit and vegetable in one snack).</p>
<p>8. Try some new fruits and vegetables. Pick something exotic to get your family’s curiosity. With a little luck their curiosity will outweigh their initial apprehension to trying something new. You could try artichokes, plantains, papaya, mango, star fruit, or anything else you can find in the produce department of your local store.</p>
<p>9. Make a pot of vegetable soup or a stew that’s heavy on veggies and easy on the meat. Both of these make some great comfort food when the weather gets cold.</p>
<p>10. Start “My Veggie Day”. Each family member gets to pick a vegetable one day of the week. They qualify to pick a vegetable as long as they tried each vegetable the week before, otherwise they loose a turn and Mom gets to pick.</p>
<p>Incorporate a few of these ideas and you will have everyone in your family eating more fruits and vegetables in no time.</p>
<p>Here is another tip:</p>
<p>Now that everyone in the family has gotten a taste for it, make sure you always have plenty of fresh fruits and veggies available and ready to snack on.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-75" src="http://loisurluni.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/flag_art-300x225.jpg" alt="flag_art" width="240" height="180" />From the word go, the Football season seems provide a plethora of reasons to eat badly. It starts near Labor Day, and goes right on past to New Years. Typically during this time of year our eating habits include foods and drinks that are so delicious, yet carry negative effects.<br />
So I thought how could someone have a fun football (holiday for the Ms.) season, and still fit in their clothes that they wore during pre-season. Below are 10 that could possibly help you reach that goal they may seem like no brainers, but if you take heed you will survive another year without moving to the next waist size. Enjoy the season.</p>
<p>1. First things first, don’t even think about dieting during the holiday season. That is, don’t start a new diet. Your biggest goal during our most favorite season is to maintain your weight. This way you can partake in your favorite beverage and snacks without any guilt.<br />
2. Another good way to avoid packin’ on the pudge is to stay seated, and far away from the food table.<br />
3. Something simple and delicious. I would recommend bringing a light dip with either multigrain or wheat bread, so you have something that is somewhat healthy to munch on. There is a company (I think it has the title of chef in its name) that sells dips and breads that anyone can make, and are a healthy alternative to normal snacks. Just ask your wife, girlfriend, or any woman where you can find a beer bread mix.<br />
4. The beverages tend to favorites for many during this time of year, so be wise in your selection. If you must have a mixed drink, try something like a clear liquor and diet soda, a light or ultra light beer, or a nice glass of wine. I know wine doesn’t scream manly, but it is an alternative. Remember this shouldn’t be painful, just well thought-out.<br />
5. Good or bad, football games tend to be lengthy, use this to your advantage, and take part in the eating and drinking at a slow pace. The slower your intake, the better chance you will fit in those size 38’s come spring time.<br />
6. Chase the kids, or take a walk, whatever it is, make sure you keep up on some type of activity other than couch coaching, and channel surfing. Winter time is hard enough for many people with the cold and darkness, so some activity will help you gain or maintain physical and mental acuity.<br />
7. Eat at home before you head to the football stadium, or over a buddies house. This should help prevent a complete submersion in to the food and drinks. Believe me when I tell you, you will feel much better knowing you don’t have to drive home with your pants unbuttoned, either because of pressure or an untimely stomach pain.<br />
8. Eat some chicken wings, not the entire chicken. I think that’s clear, and best of all it applies to all food! And anyway, who wants to get stains all over their new Dallas Terrell Owens jersey.<br />
9. If you have the chance to host a football game, stack the odds on your side by putting veggies, and light snacks out rather than the pizza and wings. I mean really, do we as men pay any attention to what we eat while we are watching a game. So long as the drinks are cold, and our food crunches, we are in heaven.<br />
10. This rule applies all year long. Stay far and away from fast food joints. It may seem like a good idea while you’re on your way to the game, but we all know it’s not filling, and it’s to exit.</p>

But the evidence that these are the main causes of obesity is largely circumstantial. To stimulate debate, experts suggest 10 other possible causes of obesity, outlined in the International Journal of Obesity.</p>
<p>1. Sleep debt. Getting too little sleep can increase body weight. Today, many get less shut-eye than ever.<br />
2. Pollution. Hormones control body weight. And many of today&#8217;s pollutants affect our hormones.<br />
3. Air conditioning. You have to burn calories if your environment is too hot or too cold for comfort. But more people than ever live and work in temperature-controlled homes and offices.<br />
4. Decreased smoking. Smoking reduces weight. People smoke much less than they used to.<br />
5. Medicine. Many different drugs including contraceptives, steroid hormones, diabetes drugs, some antidepressants, and blood pressure drugs can cause weight gain. Use of these drugs is on the upswing.<br />
6. Population age, ethnicity. Middle-aged people and Hispanic-Americans tend to be more obese than young European-Americans. Americans are getting older and more Hispanic.<br />
7. Older moms. There&#8217;s some evidence that the older a woman is when she gives birth, the higher her child&#8217;s risk of obesity. Women are giving birth at older and older ages.<br />
8. Ancestors&#8217; environment. Some influences may go back two generations. Environmental changes that made a grandparent obese may &#8220;through a fetally driven positive feedback loop&#8221; visit obesity on the grandchildren.<br />
9. Obesity linked to fertility. There&#8217;s some evidence obese people are more fertile than lean ones. If obesity has a genetic component, the percentage of obese people in the population should increase.<br />
10. Unions of obese spouses. Obese women tend to marry obese men, and if obesity has a genetic component, there will be still more obese people in the next generation.</p>
<p>These other contributing factors deserve more attention and study. Even more explanations include: a fat-inducing virus; increases in childhood depression; less consumption of dairy products; and hormones used in agriculture. What do you think can be attributed to the epidemic?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-medium wp-image-54 alignleft" src="http://loisurluni.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Lose-10-Pounds-Fast_full_article_vertical-253x300.jpg" alt="Lose-10-Pounds-Fast!_full_article_vertical" width="202" height="240" />There are actually diet rules out there that are meant to be broken? Yes, recently many dated diet guidelines and myths are up for speculation. You’ve probably heard all these silly rules before, but experts weigh-in on the worthiness of these supposed truisms &#8211; most of which won&#8217;t help you lose weight or make dieting any easier.</p>
<p>10 Food Rules You Can Ignore:</p>
<p>1. Eating at night will pile on the pounds. The total calories you consume over a 24-hour period or over a week is what causes you to gain weight, and when you eat these calories doesn&#8217;t matter.</p>
<p>2. It&#8217;s best to eat at the same times every day. Eat when you&#8217;re hungry, not when the clock says it&#8217;s time to eat.</p>
<p>3. Dieting with a buddy always makes weight loss easier. Common goals may pay off but weight loss is a personal journey.</p>
<p>4. Dietary fat keeps you feeling full longer, so you&#8217;ll eat less. Fat does take longer to digest, but it will not help you control your appetite. Foods likely to fight off hunger the longest are protein foods, followed by carbohydrates, then fats.</p>
<p>5. When you blow your diet, you might as well wait until the next day to get back on track. Nothing could be farther from the truth- always try to get right back on track with your next meal.</p>
<p>6. Refusing food at a party or when visiting is rude. Turning down food that you know will blow your diet is socially acceptable.</p>
<p>7. Skipping a meal every now and then will help you lose. Skipping a meal means you will be so hungry at the next meal that you are likely to overeat. This can also  help lead to a slowdown of your metabolism.</p>
<p>8. Bread is fattening, nuts are fattening, pasta is fattening. Whole-wheat bread/pasta is a great source of nutrients, and it won&#8217;t make you gain weight more than any other food with the same number of calories.</p>
<p>9. All calories are equal. This is somewhat true, however; you&#8217;ll get more nutrients from a 100-calorie apple than from a 100-calorie portion of white bread. Choose healthier items if you are losing weight, or controlling your hunger.</p>
<p>10. If you don&#8217;t clean your plate, you&#8217;re wasting food. If you just don&#8217;t feel right leaving the table until you&#8217;ve cleaned your plate, underestimate your hunger and put less food on your plate to begin with, or you may overeat.</p>
<p>Don’t believe everything you hear! Much of it is just superstition. Now you can tell your friends the real truth. In the end, nutrition experts say, many of the food and dieting rules we hold dear are meant to be broken &#8211; without guilt!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-39" src="http://loisurluni.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/gym-fitness-300x199.jpg" alt="gym fitness" width="240" height="159" />#1 Don’t Skip Breakfast</p>
<p>The morning meal jump starts your metabolism and helps to prevent bingeing later in the day.  A cup of coffee does not count – the caffeine and added sugar may give you a bit of energy and suppress your appetite for a little while it is sure to back fire into severe hunger and you will be more likely to overeat later.  Breakfast should include complex carbohydrates like whole grain (granola or oatmeal), along with some protein and fat (low-fat yogurt or milk), will keep your energy levels even and hunger in check.</p>
<p>#2 Eat more often</p>
<p>Get into the habit of eating every three to four hours or at least four times a day.  Eating frequently stabilizes blood sugar, when blood sugar drops too low you want to eat…a lot.  By keeping your blood sugar stable you can control your appetite and keep you metabolic rate high.  When you go many hours without eating your body will compensate by slowing down to conserve energy…this effect hurts your weight loss efforts.</p>
<p>#3 Eat protein at every meal</p>
<p>Protein will help to reduce your appetite, it takes more energy and time to digest, in effect you feel full longer than eating carbohydrates alone.  Research shows that eating more protein can help you lose weight without cutting calories.  Try these protein possibilities: turkey on whole wheat; hummus and pita; vegetarian chili; fruit and nuts; or protein snack bars that contain 12 or more grams of protein.</p>
<p>#4 Hold off on snacking</p>
<p>Many of us grab a snack for quick energy when we are feeling tired.  But do not confuse true hunger with fatigue.  If you are feeling tired go for a 15-20 minute brisk walk.  This will raise your heart rate and give you a boost of energy.  Follow it up with a large glass of cool water.  If you are truly hungry have a protein and complex carbohydrate rich snack like; whole wheat crackers and peanut butter or cheese.</p>
<p>#5 Consume enough for your body’s needs</p>
<p>Eating too little slows your body’s metabolism the same way eating to infrequently does.  If you want to lose weight, do not slash your calories too drastically.  Instead, cut out some of the extras in your diet – things like soda, juice, packaged goods or candy.  Processed foods tend to be high in fat and calories and low in vitamins, minerals and fiber.</p>

<p>Perhaps the most appealing benefit of using a patch is that it is so easy to use.   No pills to remember to take, no special diets, no required exercise routine.   Naturally, sticking to a healthy diet and exercise program is best for your overall health, but if that is difficult for you to adhere to all of the time, the patch may be a solution that works for you.</p>
<p>A weight loss patch that you place on your body will deliver the active ingredients by transdermal delivery, meaning  through the skin.  The patch ingredients will go directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system and liver. Simply apply the patch to a smooth area of your skin and change it every 3 days.   That is all of the maintenance that is required.</p>
<p>A patch can even be used occasionally when you are traveling and know you will be eating out a lot, or for those times you are too busy to cook the proper foods.  A patch that suppresses your appetite will help you develop good eating habits that will help you maintain your ideal weight in the future  ~ no more yo-yo figures.</p>
<p>2.  Appetite Suppressant Pills</p>
<p>Curbing your appetite to stop the influx of calories in the first place seems to be the logical way to lose and maintain your weight.  However, we are so bombarded by confusing claims everywhere for appetite suppressant pills ~ in print, on the radio, on television, even on billboards when driving, that it is difficult to know which diet pill will really help take off those pounds ~ and keep them off..</p>
<p>Some diet pills will cause your heart to race, your hands to shake, or an overall &#8220;wired&#8221; feeling.  To avoid these problem, stay away from products that contain  Ephedra, Ma Huang, and Ephedrine.</p>
<p>One herbal diet pill that has gotten a lot of publicity lately is Hoodia Gordonii  The authentic plant comes from the Kalahari desert in  South Aftrica.  Respectable television shows like 60 Minutes, the Today Show, BBC, and even Oprah&#8217;s &#8220;O&#8221; magazine have given it rave reviews for its fast acting appetite suppressing qualities.  While it can take one to two weeks to work fully, many users report a decline in their appetite with the first pill.</p>
<p>In fact, Hoodia has had so many positive reports that there are now a lot of knock-off products being marketed to the uninformed ~ especially on the Internet.   The real Hoodia is very rare because it takes up to 7 years for the Hoodia  plant to mature to a point where it provides appetite suppressant qualities.  In addition, the African government is now limiting the amount of Hoodia it exports, meaning only a few suppliers have the real thing.  Because Hoodia is so rare, you can expect it to be a little more expensive than other diet pills.</p>
<p>Another diet pill that helps shed pounds is Herbal Phentermine.  This is a non-prescription appetite  suppressant that is scientifically designed to produce similar effects of a popular Rx version of phentermine.</p>
<p>The good news is that the Herbal version contains only natural ingredients so you don&#8217;t have to be worried about side effects.   Plus, you can avoid the time, expense, and embarrassment of a doctor&#8217;s visit.</p>
<p>Herbal Phentermine will not only suppress your appetite, but it will also increase your metabolism so you burn more calories and have more energy.</p>
<p>3). Carbohydrate Blockers</p>
<p>Perhaps you prefer not to have your appetite suppressed, but instead would like to eat all of the pasta, bread, rice, and potatoes you want.  If this sounds more like your style, then you might want to try a carbohydrate  blocker.</p>
<p>Scientists have discovered, and thoroughly tested a method to allow us to eat the foods we love and not gain weight.    We can now stop the normal conversion of starchy foods to sugar before it can pass through our digestive system and store as fat on our hips, thighs, buttocks and stomach.  Derived from white kidney beans, the resulting carb blockers, (starch neutralizers), are a completely natural product.  They work by neutralizing the Alpha amylase enzyme that digests starch.</p>
<p>By neutralizing this digestive enzyme, the starch from our food does not get digested.  Instead, it remains intact and does not convert to sugar.  It simply passes through the body undigested and acts as a fiber  ~ which is a very good thing.   We get more fiber going through our intestines while avoiding the conversion to sugar and the resulting fat storage ~  a definite win-win situation.</p>
<p>Over the past several years, there have been many positive studies to determine the effectiveness of carb blockers and their ability to help lose weight.   One study was performed at the Northridge Hospital Medical Center in Los Angeles, CA, over an eight week time period.</p>
<p>It reported that participants saw an average weight loss of 200% more than those taking a placebo, and lost an average of 1.5 inches around their waists.  This was 43 % more than those taking  the placebo.  Plus they reported  having 13% more energy, even though it is not a stimulant.</p>
<p>Whether you choose patches or pills, prefer to eat starchy foods, or use carb blockers, some things to look for when buying diet products are that they:</p>
<p>1) Contain all natural ingredients<br />
2) Do not have harmful side effects<br />
3) Offer a 100% money back guarantee</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-12" src="http://loisurluni.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/weight.jpg" alt="weight" width="240" height="240" />There are 3,500 calories in one pound of fat. Thus, if you cut back or work off just 3,500 calories, you will lose an entire pound of fat. While it is possible to cut back on your calorie intake and increase your exercise regimen in order to lose pounds quickly, it is important to note that doctors recommend that you lose no more than 2 pounds of weight per week in order to ensure that your body properly adjusts to the weight loss.</p>
<p>Here are some tips to help you safely drop 3,500 from your regular routine:</p>
<p>Run</p>
<p>Running for about 1 hour at a slow pace will help you lose approximately 350 calories, depending on your body type, speed and terrain. Thus, if you run for one hour five days a week while maintaining a consistent diet, you will safely lose one pound.</p>
<p>It is important to understand that many people who just begin running will eat pasta and other foods high in carbohydrates in order to compensate for the exertion. They think that because they worked out so hard, they deserve a treat. After all, they justify, the pasta will help to keep their energy levels high.</p>
<p>However, what they may not realize is that while they are justified in thinking that the carbohydrates will infuse their workout routine with energy, they are not actually setting their bodies up to lose weight. When you burn 350 calories but intake 450 over a high-carbohydrate pasta dish, you are adding more calories to your body than you otherwise would have.</p>
<p>Running does, however, help to boost our metabolism and change your muscle tone so that you burn calories more efficiently. Instead of inhaling a pasta dish after a run, select instead to have a large salad and splurge for the carbohydrate-rich croutons.</p>
<p>Eat In</p>
<p>When you eat out at a restaurant, not only are you subjecting your body to an array of high fat, high calorie foods, but you are also tempting yourself to eat a larger portion than you might normally eat. Therefore, what could be a simple 500 calories meal can easily turn into a 1500-calorie fat fest. In order to lose weight by cutting calories, it is essential that you are aware of exactly what you are putting into your body. Especially in the beginning of your new routine, it is important that you prepare your meals and monitor your level of hunger.</p>
<p>When eating out, generally you are in a social situation where food is not a priority – but spending time with your friends is. For this reason, people tend to eat more than they normally would. Non-dessert eaters often even spring for the extra round of calories. If you must eat out, help yourself avoid temptation by selecting a salad rather than a plate of pasta or burger. You will be amazed at the difference in the amount of calories you intake when you make simple choices such as meal option.</p>
<p>By reducing your overall calorie intake and increasing your level of physical activity, you will be able to lose those 3,500 calories without much trouble. Make sure that you stay focused, motivated and on task. You’ll shed unwanted weight in no time!</p>
