Weight Loss - Attacking the Root of the Problem

Written by Randy Mclean


Continued from page 1

On your first workout try exercising your chest, shoulders and triceps. On your second workout try working your back and biceps and on your last workout ofrepparttar week try legs. Your workouts don't have to be long or strenuous. In future articles we will explore beginning routines as well as more advanced ones. You can repeat this process every week. Remember,repparttar 115811 more muscle you haverepparttar 115812 more calories you will burn.

Combined with moderate aerobics you can expect to see dramatic results not only in your appearance but in your metabolic rate overrepparttar 115813 course of just a few months. Just remember to be consistent. That isrepparttar 115814 key. It is not how long or hard you go in one session that counts but what you do over a longer period of time that really matters. Don't get discouraged and keep focussed. You will see some who are a little over zealous after they watch a Rocky movie for example, and then they will go and work out like they have never worked out before but then they will stop forrepparttar 115815 next few months. As you probably have guessed, this is definitelyrepparttar 115816 wrong approach although their intentions might have been sincere.

Besidesrepparttar 115817 benefits already mentioned there are also additional benefits directly related to weight loss concerning your appearance itself when you are toned. For men, you will have that 'v' taper in your back creatingrepparttar 115818 illusion of a smaller waist. The same goes for women. If your shoulders are widened a little your waist will also appear to be smaller. The same is also true if you have a good outer sweep in your quadriceps (outer thigh). And combined with fat burning aerobics, you can expect your results to be twofold.

Peanut Butter and Pizza - An Alternative to the High Protein Diet

Written by Randy Mclean


Continued from page 1

Obviously there is a catch...you knowrepparttar saying, if anything is too good to be true it probably is. The catch is that these meals still have to be figured into your daily caloric intake or else eventuallyrepparttar 115810 inevitable will happen. Butrepparttar 115811 good news is that this variation gives yourepparttar 115812 illusion of a greater food intake. The more you study fitness and nutritionrepparttar 115813 more you can manipulate variables or natural laws in your favour.

As an example, say you want to eat only 3 times a day but you want to take in calories 5 times a day in total. So your first meal would be real food, say a few peanut butter sandwhiches. Okay, so you have eaten that and two hours roll around so it's time for another meal. You can either eat or have some kind of replacement as I mentioned earlier. An example of a quick replacement would be a protein bar (chocolate flavour, yum!) or possibly a homemade shake. How would you make this shake? Just take 8 ounces of skim milk, add 4 heaping tablespoons of skim milk powder to thicken it and finally a bit of chocolate syrup for flavour! This drink provides approximately 200 calories which is not much but enough to keep your metabolism going. And this also leaves room for greater food consumption!

In summary this diet is great for those with higher cholesterol levels and don't want to takerepparttar 115814 risks of eating a higher protein diet. You mostly have to watch your dairy products, things like butter, ice cream etc. Basically when it comes down to it food is food. No matter how it is broken down and/or used byrepparttar 115815 body if you eat too much...well, you know!
