Want to Lose Weight?

 To lose weight there are a few factors to consider for any weight loss program to be effective.

If you remember the following formulas…

You can discover how to lose weight, healthy weight loss and keep it off!

Formula #1:

Calories out is greater than Calories in = Weight Loss

This formula is as basic as weight loss gets.

If you exercise and burn more calories than you eat…at the end of the day you will lose weight. Plain and simple!

To lose weight fast is all about calorie intake or creating  “calorie deficiency.”

At the end of a day that does not mean you have to starve yourself.

In fact, decreasing your calories too much can have the opposite effect on your body causing shut down or “starvation” mode.

The human body is built for survival…

When you consume too few calories and not enough water, your body can actually shut down your metabolism to a point where you’ll not burn fat.

Actually your body will store water (called water retention).

So, you definietly will not lose weight and you could in fact gain weight by increasing water retention.

This is where Formula #2 comes into play:

Water + Oxygen = Fat burning

When you breathe, you move the rivers and streams of internal water within your body.

Your physical body is over 70% water and your blood is 90% water.

This water is filled with electro-conductive metals such as sodium, potassium, iron, manganese, magnesium, etc.

This is how bio-electricity is conducted through your physical body.

Basically, your body needs water with increased oxygen to burn fat as an energy source.

Water intake can be anywhere from 1/2 gallon for women.

As you drink water, your body will be able to use the retained water for excretion or detox (elimination of toxins) prompting healthy weight loss.

This is not the same as sitting in a sauna and sweating which actually dehydrates your system.

Drinking water will rehydrate your system and enable your body to burn more fat.

As long as you increase your oxygen intake by doing some form of exercise:

  • Walking
  • Swimming
  • Biking
  • Jogging
  • Calisthenics
  • Gardening
  • Lifting weights can help with fat loss and working your cardiovascular system…

Here are some sample calorie expenditures (calories burned) for a variety of exercises for women who weigh 130 – 190 lbs.

If you weigh more than 190 lbs you will actually burn calories, more calories at a faster rate than a lighter woman:

Aerobics:  130 lbs – 300 Calories Per Hour
                     190 lbs – 500 Calories Per Hour

Basketball:   130 lbs – 475 Calories Per Hour  
                        190 lbs – 675 Calories Per Hour

Pushups:  130 lbs – 480 Calories Per Hour  
                   190 lbs – 690 Calories Per Hour

Child Care:  130 lbs – 210 Calories Per Hour  
                       190 lbs – 300 Calories Per Hour

Gardening:  130 lbs – 290 Calories Per Hour  
                        190 lbs – 400 Calories Per Hour

Jogging:  130 lbs – 410 Calories Per Hour  
                  190 lbs – 600 Calories Per Hour

Pushing Stroller:  130 lbs – 150 Calories Per Hour  
                                   190 lbs – 210 Calories Per Hour

Jumping Jacks or Rope:  130 lbs – 450 Calories Per Hour  
                                                  190 lbs – 650 Calories Per Hour

Swimming:    130 lbs – 550 Calories Per Hour  
                          190 lbs – 890 Calories Per Hour

Tennis:   130 lbs – 400 Calories Per Hour  
                  190 lbs – 600 Calories Per Hour

Walking 3 mph:  130 lbs – 250 Calories Per Hour  
                                 190 lbs – 350 Calories Per Hour

These are just a few of the popular exercises you can use to burn calories.

In fact, everything you do (breathing, sitting, standing) burns calories even while sleeping!

As you can see from the above exercise list, any activity that help you burn calaories more are the most rigorous or can be done for several hours.

Take a look at my other health related articles for information on calories as part of the weight loss equation.

It is never a good idea to limit your calories under 1500 calories per day.

In fact, you should consult a nutritionist or dietician if you plan to go under 1500 calories.

The main reason is you can lose weight but become unhealthy due to lack of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients from a lower calorie diet.

Remember, the key to lose weight with any weight loss program is drinking water.

You want to eat health food and drink water while developing a fitness plan that helps you add oxygen to burn calories, fat or excess fat.

This will produce the “caloric deficiency” needed if you want to lose weight.

Why Natural Weight Loss?

Do you understand the simplicity of being healthy and natural weight loss?

If you want to successfully lose weight…

You want to happily and activitely include healthy recipes for your healthy weight loss.

That means understanding the real value of health nutrition…long term for permanent weight loss.

You need to enjoy exercise for natural weight loss.

Natural weight loss is weight loss facilitated by eating healthy and naturally, adding exercises to get the best healthy living results.

Natural weight loss includes eating healthy, healthy food and healthy diet, no chemicals, surgeries, diet drugs or unnecessary means for losing weight.

Basically, most quix fix solutions are so dramatic the results they facilitate simply do not last.

Healthy, natural weight loss means exercising to promote good health.

You want to exercise at little every day for at least 30 minutes to get the most out of a weight loss program.

Skipping exercise by filling your diet with pills, chemicals or surgery (any  unnecessary treatments) is your choice, but it never sustains good health.

Natural weight loss is healthy weight loss, focusing on eating natural food instead of packages foods that are fat and calorie laden.

Begin with this in mind: When you go shopping in the grocery store, walk the perimeter first.

The perimeter of your supermarket is where you will find:

  • Fresh bread and bakery items,
  • Deli items (freshly sliced meats, cheeses, dairy, meat, vegetables)
  • Natural, healthy foods and drinks.

The aisles on the inside of the supermarket are where you will find the majority of the pre packaged foods, which are rife with preservatives, sugars, fats, calories and other completely unnecessary additives.

So the answer to “What is natural weight loss?” is actually quite simple.

Natural weight loss is weight loss that is done the way your body will best respond.

Your body responds properly when you feed it healthy, natural foods like fruits and vegetables, breads and dairy, lean meats and proteins like nuts and legumes.

When you put healthy foods into your body and you fuel your metabolism consistently throughout the day using small, consistent portions, your body will respond by losing the appropriate amount of unnecessary weight.

When you exercise consistently, giving your body at least 30 minutes of activity per day, you will build healthy muscle and eliminate unhealthy fat.

Building muscle through healthy exercise actually facilitates even more healthy, natural weight loss because a pound of muscle burns more calories in a day than a pound of fat.

If you want to go on a diet or implement a weight loss plan that is going to allow you to lose unnecessary weight and burn unnecessary fat in favor of a leaner and healthier body…

You don’t need pills or surgery to facilitate the process.

Healthy, natural weight loss is all about feeding your body everything it needs, avoiding the overload of calories it does not need.

Want to live a healthy and natural life while keeping your body in the best possible shape?

Natural weight loss is actually simple because you get long term quality lifestyle and the most advantageous kind of weight loss.

If you are a health conscious woman, why do it any other way when you could boost your energy, extend life and vitality well past normal years?

Now you know why natural weight loss means your body is naturally reducing the effects of aging, plus improving your life for the better.

Top 7 Weight Loss Tips!

Small Steps Towards Practical Healthy Weight Loss…

Firstly, what are your weight loss goals for 2010?

“‘By the yard, it’s hard; by the inch it’s a cinch.”

The road to permanent weight loss  is paved with good intentions…

Make sure you give your weight loss goals realistic and fitness exercise results based purpose.

Here’s why…you can get results without actually getting caught up in all the unneccessay worrying whether or not you achieve your weight loss goal. 

Allow me to explain…

Weight loss is the process that’s important and each step you take will be a small brick in building core health which transforms your life for the better. 

Find a reason that motivates you on a soul level more than anything else.

The body you manifest will be aligned, even more beautiful and stronger if you have the right divine attitude backing you up. 

Move on from the 19th century if you think the anorexic look is attractive.

It’s not only a sad reaction to modern stress but also a leftover fantasy from when it was thought unattractive for a woman to look robustly healthy. 

Leave the smelling salts on the shelf.

If you’re feeling fainthearted ask for the emotional support you need from your:

  • Weight loss coach
  • Spiritual group
  • Family
  • Friends

Go easy for a while on vigorous exercise cycle.

Healthy eating and moderate fitness exercise such as walking are more appropriate. 

Get really honest with yourself:

If you feel you’re overweight from binge eating on fatty foods which hide unresolved emotional issues or stress…

Find help to replan your life and begin a fresh chapter. 

You’ll manifest a brand new body temple which can be an inspiration to other women. 

I remember living on a farm in the 80’s and getting up at varying times from 5:00 am in the morning to 8:00 am.

Do different combinations of exercise and meditation after a while to work out what’s right for you. 

Experiment with functioning at your own speed and rhythm in a natural setting like a beach or a park when you’re not in fitness boot camp. 

I found sometimes getting up early suited me better than others, specifically when I gave up sugar and replaced it with honey.

Being able to do a yoga handstand or push up in the morning depended on whether I’d had dessert the night before.

If I had a sugar “overdose”…there was no way I could lift off!

You might find if you’re hypoglycaemic you need healthy snacks every few hours to keep your blood sugar stable. 

 So here are the top 7 steps to weight loss success: 

  1. Set weight loss goals and objectives (use a daily plan)
  2. Imagine yourself at the ideal weight level you want
  3. Be honest with yourself
  4. Look at the weight loss alternatives if you don’t get healthy (the carrot or the stick?)
  5. Take control and feel confident for where you are now and want to go
  6. Get extra help where you need it and get a weight loss coach for weak areas
  7. Weight loss diet is a lifestyle tool to better quality of life, not a way of life…
