Saying NO to the Junk

"Think of how happy you will be when you finally lose those 10, 20, 30 pounds. By saying no to the junk, you'll get used to reaching for the healthy foods, and will stop buying the sweets. You are creating a new lifestyle for yourself that will benefit you in all ways."

I can't say no to junk ... love junk food. reminds me long time ago whether you believe me or not I can eat a whole bag of potato chips in one day. hehehe.

Don't stare yourself

Sensible weight loss programs do not encourage starving yourself or skipping meals. If you skip meals not only will you get hungrier later but your body may have to break down muscle to get the nutrients it needs.

I have been skipping meals just to lose some weight and yes I am hungrier later the day and I ate a lot.

Drinking enough water?

Water Works for Weight Loss

Nothing quells the appetite like water, lots and lots of water. Start out with two quart bottles in the morning and carry one with you to work or wherever you go. If you like, divvy up the 64 ounces of water into eight (8-ounce) bottles or four pint (16-ounce) bottles to carry around with you all day. Freeze half of them the night before and they will last all day, even in a hot car. Keep some unfrozen so they will be ready to drink immediately.

Yes. You will have to make more frequent bathroom trips, but it is worth it. Drink your 64 ounces of water before dinner, if possible, so you're not up half the night going to the bathroom.

Water not only fills you up and lessens your appetite, it prevents those "hungry horrors" we all encounter when our blood sugar drops and we reach for cookies, candy, ice cream, fries or other high-calorie treats. Water also flushes out the system, rids the body of bloat and toxins and rosies up the complexion. Now, start splashing.

S-T-R-E-T-C-H

Fifteen seconds is better than five, though five is still better than nothing when it comes to improving flexibility.

A new study out of the United Kingdom suggests a significant benefits from holding each stretch at least 15 seconds as opposed to five seconds or not stretching at all.

Twenty-four college students (average age 20) participated in the five-week training study.

Those in the five-second group performed each stretch nine times, while those in the 15-second group did each stretch three times.

While both groups improved their passive range of motion, those who held their stretches longer showed greater improvements in active range of motion as well.

Healthier weight feels

Enjoy how good your healthier weight feels

Are you more energetic? Sleeping better? Has your doctor remarked on your improved blood pressure, blood sugar, or cholesterol level? Taking off even a few extra pounds can do wonders for your body and your health. When you're tempted to abandon your healthy eating plan, remember how good it feels being thinner.

Treat Obesity as a Disease

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced in this month's Journal of the American Medical Association that 18.9 percent of Americans are obese. In the past decade, obesity among adults has risen by almost 60 percent. From 1998 to 1999, the CDCP says obesity among Americans shot up six percent. Obesity accounts for 300,000 premature deaths each year (second only to tobacco-related deaths) and accounts for 9.4 percent of the healthcare expenditures nationwide, the CDCP said.

The next time you admonish yourself for being fat, don't think you just look bad and can't fit your jeans. Think that you have a disease and need a cure, as you would from any other disease. Treat it medically with prescribed diet and exercise from our health & fitness diet and exercise tips. Check with your doctor before launching a 'get well' regime.

Satisfy cravings

The best-laid plans can go astray when you're faced with insatiable cravings for sweets or other favorite foods. So satisfy your craving with a small portion of the food you desire. Eat it slowly, savor every bite, and then resist the urge to reach for more. Another option: Chew on a piece of sugarless gum. Studies have shown that this can be a calorie-free way to satisfy your urge for something sweet.

Body Composition

Is often considered a component of fitness. It refers to the makeup of the body in terms of lean mass (muscle, bone, vital tissue and organs) and fat mass. An optimal ratio of fat to lean mass is an indication of fitness, and the right types of exercises will help you decrease body fat and increase or maintain muscle mass.

To Improve Stress Control

Try this it really works.

1. Give your partner a hug every day before work. Studies show this simple act can help you remain calm when chaos ensues during your day, Katz says.
2. Have a good cry. It can boost your immune system, reduce levels of stress hormones, eliminate depression, and help you think more clearly.
3. Twice a day, breathe deeply for three to five minutes

Cardiorespiratory Endurance
The ability to deliver oxygen and nutrients to tissues, and to remove wastes, over sustained periods of time. Long runs and swims are among the methods employed in measuring this component.

Eat more fiber

Eat More Fiber. Most people don't get enough fiber. The recommended amount is actually not that much if you eat a healthy diet. "Fibre foods" include whole grains, fruits and vegetables, and nuts and seeds. Other options are fibre supplements.

Specifity

Pick the right kind of activities to affect each component. Strength training results in specific strength changes. Also, train for the specific activity you're interested in. For example, optimal swimming performance is best achieved when the muscles involved in swimming are trained for the movements required. It does not necessarily follow that a good runner is a good swimmer.

Defining Fitness

Physical fitness is to the human body what fine tuning is to an engine. It enables us to perform up to our potential. Fitness can be described as a condition that helps us look, feel and do our best. More specifically, it is:

"The ability to perform daily tasks vigorously and alertly, with energy left over for enjoying leisure- time activities and meeting emergency demands. It is the ability to endure, to bear up, to withstand stress, to carry on in circumstances where an unfit person could not continue, and is a major basis for good health and well-being."

Physical fitness involves the performance of the heart and lungs, and the muscles of the body. And, since what we do with our bodies also affects what we can do with our minds, fitness influences to some degree qualities such as mental alertness and emotional stability.

As you undertake your fitness program, it’s important to remember that fitness is an individual quality that varies from person to person. It is influenced by age, sex, heredity, personal habits, exercise and eating practices. You can’t do anything about the first three factors. However, it is within your power to change and improve the others where needed.

To Improve Nutrition

1. Buy whole foods -- whether canned, frozen, or fresh from the farm -- and use them in place of processed foods whenever possible.

2. Reject foods and drinks made with corn syrup, a calorie-dense, nutritionally empty sweetener that many believe is worse for the body than sugar, says Katz.

3. Start each dinner with a mixed green salad. Not only will it help reduce your appetite for more caloric foods, but it also will automatically add veggies to your meal.

10 great post-workout snacks

1. Skim milk (not only does it have protein and carbohydrates, it also has lots of
water, which will help replace fluids lost from sweating)
2. Yogurt
3. Bagel with turkey breast slices (add desired veggies and mustard)
4. Tuna salad (made with non-fat mayo) on whole-wheat bread
5. Banana shake made with banana, orange juice and vanilla yogurt

7. Juice and a handful of dry-roasted soy nuts

10. Dried fruit and low-fat cheese

Cardiorespiratory Endurance

At least three 20-minute bouts of continuous aerobic (activity requiring oxygen) rhythmic exercise each week. Popular aerobic conditioning activities include brisk walking, jogging, swimming, cycling, rope-jumping, rowing, cross-country skiing, and some continuous action games like racquetball and handball.

A Workout Schedule

How often, how long and how hard you exercise, and what kinds of exercises you do should be determined by what you are trying to accomplish. Your goals, your present fitness level, age, health, skills, interest and convenience are among the factors you should consider. For example, an athlete training for high-level competition would follow a different program than a person whose goals are good health and the ability to meet work and recreational needs.

Your exercise program should include something from each of the four basic fitness components described previously. Each workout should begin with a warmup and end with a cooldown. As a general rule, space your workouts throughout the week and avoid consecutive days of hard exercise.
