When and how you put on these pounds-you did not even realize!! It was that gradual! Therefore, it only makes sense for you to lose weight the same way - gradually. Crash diets and deprivation have seen people swing back to binging with a vengeance. Deprivation causes psychological harm and creates gluttons - they cannot get their minds off food -and hence they have very low resistance to appetizing smells and appetizing sights. And if they give in to the craving once, they will do so again and again.

And the message is loud and clear, "You need to get rid of all that excess weight that you are carrying around you, so willingly like some docile beast of burden." Very, very true, I say, but please, not now, not today, not tomorrow, may be just some other time. Michelle Lemerle Thu, 30 Mar 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.findhealtharticles.com/articles/1797/1/Why-is-it-so-hard-for-me-to-lose-weight Much as I would like to lose the burden of my weight and the burdening consciousness of carrying so much weight around, I find it more and more difficult getting into the actual routine of losing weight. What is it that prevents me from giving away what I do not like? I tried exploring the reasons for these problems and within them, the solutions that could give a leaner, trimmer and slimmer me. Michelle Lemerle Thu, 30 Mar 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.findhealtharticles.com/articles/1796/1/Why-diet-and-cardio-is-not-enough You board the diet train to slim land hoping to find that exact destination, but are disappointed. Then you take a flight to cardio once again praying to achieve what you set out for, but are yet again disillusioned. Why? You ask yourself. The answer is but simple. Only a diet or a Cardio is not enough to achieve the goal you want. What happens when one goes the diet path is that fro the time being the person gives up all the favorite oily and fatty foodstuffs. But as he realizes that he has lost ample weight he starts celebrating by resuming the intake of those given up goodies. Now. What results is thus; the body earlier used the excess fat for energy when food was in scarcity.

When you have almost achieved your weight loss goal and the last step seems to be just within reach, why do the mind and palate get tempted to reach out for all those goody stuff? Why is there an irresistible urge to suddenly go chomp chomp and not 'weight and watch'? Michelle Lemerle Thu, 30 Mar 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.findhealtharticles.com/articles/1794/1/Why-can-everyone-else-loose-weight-except-me It's frightening to feel this way, that all other fat people are loosing weight except you, even when you are following exactly what they do. But look again is it just that you are blindly following what others are doing or have you accessed your own situation first and worked accordingly? The likely answer is no, you haven't as much given it any thought on what is it that made you the way you are. Was it your excessive eating or some medication that you were put on, or your laziness cost you all those pounds? This is what you require to do first. Analyze!! Knowing the reason, which has bloated you up is the first step towards shedding those calories. Michelle Lemerle Thu, 30 Mar 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.findhealtharticles.com/articles/1793/1/Loosing-weight Working out in order to loose weight is one of the most dreaded activity. No body enjoys it and therefore everybody avoids it. Well, but this is not the right solution for excess weight. Getting rid of the fat is one of the most essential things for the body. The body may be adversely affected because of all the excess weight. Not just the external appearance but the internal body too encounters problems. The heart is perpetually in dangers, excess weight restricts physical activities and therefore it becomes a vicious circle. Moreover over weights often become victims of breathlessness.  Moment the realization occurs one should gear up and shed those extra pounds. Michelle Lemerle Thu, 30 Mar 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.findhealtharticles.com/articles/1792/1/Fat-to-muscle-ratio Fat and muscle are two very important components of a human body. They are both necessary for the body and the look of the body. But it is important to know the right quantity of much. Too much or too little of either could prove very wrong for the body. Excess fat is harmful for the body, as excess fat would mean obesity. On the other hand, too much of only muscle would lead to an abnormally muscular body. It is important to know the right ratio of fat to muscle. Now, this ratio differs from person to person. It is also different in males and females. It is obvious that a good fat to muscle ratio would be composed more of high muscles and less fat.

Michelle Lemerle Thu, 30 Mar 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.findhealtharticles.com/articles/1781/1/How-to-get-single-digit-body-fat-figures The secret to getting single digit body fat figures, super lean and ripped is all about mastering the art of "peaking". The intelligent approach to nutrition and training which is used by almost all bodybuilders and fitness/ figure competitors is to train and diet in a seasonal or cyclical fashion and build up to a peak then ease off to a maintenance or growth phase. Most people do not know how to reach the type of low body fat levels that reveal ripped six-pack abs, muscle striations, vascular and extreme muscular definition and so they go about it in the completely wrong way.

The lower abs and "love handles" can be stubborn and exercise-resistant areas to lose fat from. The best way to lose fat in the so-called stubborn areas is with the correct combination of proper diet, aerobic exercise, abdominal training, and weight training.

Follow a gradual approach to exercise to get the most benefits with the fewest risks. Exercise is vital to minimize the effects of menopause and osteoporosis in women and middle-age spread in men. Michelle Lemerle Thu, 30 Mar 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.findhealtharticles.com/articles/1778/1/Food-with-a-high-Thermic-effect The thermic effect of food means the energy that is expanded by our body in order to eat and digest (which includes metabolizing, transporting and storing) food. This expansion of the energy is done by what we call burning calories. Some foods have a high thermic effect than the others. This means they require the greatest amount of energy for processing. Thus these foods need a lot of time to get processed and digested and get turned into body fat. There is little or no thermic effect in such foods. Following are some foods and their thermic effects - Michelle Lemerle Wed, 29 Mar 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.findhealtharticles.com/articles/1743/1/Turn-your-body-into-a-fat-burning-machine Just the thought of your body converted into a fat burning machine instead of a fat storing one, gives immense relief. Everyone practically lives only dreaming it, but some go-getters actually have it in them, to turn this fantasy into a virtual reality. Now, you must be thinking that those who do get success in transforming their body into a fat burning furnace must be real extraordinary people. Michelle Lemerle Wed, 29 Mar 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.findhealtharticles.com/articles/1742/1/Think-yourself-thin This one?s a real brainwork. Put those gray cells to use and start thinking you are thin already. A psychological study has revealed you tend to loose half of the intended weight by just developing a positive attitude towards your body. It has been found that in thinking you are thin a dieter avoids going into a complete famine mode and hence saves himself the risk of slowed down metabolism.

For men the trouble lies near the navel, lower abs, lower back and sides of the waistline and for women the problem areas are the grandma arms i.e. the triceps, the upper thighs, hips and the butt area. Now, that you know where you problem area lies, its time to know the way to loose it. Michelle Lemerle Wed, 29 Mar 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.findhealtharticles.com/articles/1740/1/Shed-fat-while-keeping-your-lean-body-mass Usually when people get sliming down pangs, they hurry into either a rigorous diet or a heavy workout schedule. What they don?t stop and think is a balance of both will be more beneficial. And due to this they become successful in losing not only excess body fat but also the necessary body fat. Folks need to realize that taking up either one gives instant results but on the long run all the lost body fat creeps in right back. What you need is the art to shed the fat while still retaining your lean body mass.

Some people lose weight by strict dieting for a short period. However, as soon as the diet is over, they often go back to their old eating habits, and the weight goes straight back on. Losing weight and then keeping it off, needs a whole change of attitude and lifestyle for life. This includes such things, namely, the type of foods and drink that you normally buy, the type of meals that you eat, your pattern of eating, the amount of exercise that you take.

To prevent food turning to fat you need to speed up your metabolism. In simple terms, if we have a faster metabolism we burn calories more efficiently and store much less fat. A slower metabolism will burn calories less efficiently and therefore store more calories as fat.

Starvation diets consisting of 500 calories or less can lead to gallbladder stones. When you eat too little your body switches into starvation mode and stores fat rather than using it, slowing your metabolism down. Starvation diets leave the dieters hungry and those on this type of diet tend to overeat as well as make unwise decisions.

No single food can supply all nutrients in the amounts you need. To make sure you get all of the nutrients and other substances needed for health, choose the recommended number of daily servings from each of the five major food groups: grains, vegetables, fruits, milk, meat and beans. Vegetarians eat milk products and eggs, and enjoy excellent health. You can get protein from a vegetarian diet as long as the variety and amounts of foods consumed are adequate. Michelle Lemerle Wed, 29 Mar 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.findhealtharticles.com/articles/1716/1/Turbo-charge-your-metabolism The basic of metabolism has everything to do with fat burning. It is the biochemical processes that take place in the body; the breakdown of nutrients in the blood after digestion, resulting in growth of new tissue, more energy, and the discharge of wastes. There are billions of cells in our body. These cells burn up a lot of energy as they get their job done in a well metabolized body, but a person whose metabolism runs slow, a lot of fat will be stored because not enough energy is burned up.

But as the days pass the effect and commitment to resolutions also fades away. Most people?s New Year resolutions become stale and pale. The resolves to loose weight, quit smoking are some of the quickly fading resolutions. The self improvement fever lasts only a few weeks and by March all the great ideas are faded away. What is needed is stern willpower to inculcate discipline and work hard to get the goals.

So if others are able to complete the job and then have fun in allotted twenty four hours, why not we. Well the answer lies in unorganized schedule and lack of discipline.

Initially you start with full strength of mind and see the pounds dropping off over the first few weeks, and then the weight loss slows and may even stop.
