Ok its weird but what I did and this really works because I lost alot of weight, (before I got pregnant) I wrap saran wrap around my belly, and wore it through out the day it works because it makes you sweat where you have the wrap at not to much where it shows on your clothes, but enough to help you lose weight. Put it on as soon as you get out the shower, DO NOT SLEEP IN IT, But wear it all day and when you get ready to go to bed take it off. I did this everyday I still ate all the foods I alwayz ate, did nothing different, and it works especially if you dont have time to work out. Trust me.
I post this quite a bit, because this is really all you need. There are a lot of uneducated people on this board saying eat just watermelon and soup, or eat 13x your body weight in calories and all sorts of stupid sh*t. Written below is all you need.The first things you want to eliminate from what you eat are: sugar, fried foods, and white flour. You want to eat as natural and unprocessed food as possible.Sugar, anything with it is bad. From Coco-Crispies cereal, nearly all sodas, to a small bag a M M s. All turn into body fat fairly quickly.Fried foods. Chips, french fries, etc. All have very high levels of calories and fat. Cut out mayonaisse while you re at it.White flour. White breads, spahgetti, Ramen noodles, most cereals, tortillas (corn flour).Your going to want to eat 5-7 small meals/snacks in a day. That may seem like a lot of eating, but look at it this way. Say your lost in the woods and you need to make a fire that will last all night. Will the fire last longer throwing all the wood you ve collected into the fire once or twice during the night, or if you toss a couple of logs in once every 45 minutes-hour?Your body is pretty similar. You need to feed it a little bit every 2-3 hours to keep it burning fat. The longer you go in between meals, the more likely your body is going to store what you eat as fat. This is because your body doesn t realize that there is food everywhere in the world we live in. It still thinks your a cave-man. And cave-men didn t get to eat very often. Sometimes once every 3-5 days...starving. So our body is designed to store what we eat as fat, because fat has the most energy (calories) per pound. So, if you sleep all night, then skip breakfast and don t eat until lunch at say 11:30am...you probably haven t ate anything in 12+ hours. So, your body thinks your starving, that there is no food to eat. Then you eat a nice, greasy, calorie-loaded slice of pizza. Your body will then store most of it as fat because it thinks there is a food shortage.Aim for 250-300 calories at each meal/snack.Also try to eat 20-30 grams of protein at each meal. And of course, your going to want to keep even healthy carbs to a minimum (less than 80 grams a day).The healthiest carbs are:YamsOatmeal (no sugar)Sweet PotatoesOK carbs are:Whole-grain bread/buns/tortillas (whole-grain should be the first name on the ingredients list)FruitsAside from the carbs listed above, your meals should consist of:Chicken breastTurkey breastTunaSalmonEgg whitesAlmondsLow-fat cheese (cottage, string cheese)Lots of vegtablesLots of waterYou need to drink 1 gallon minimum per day. Water is what carries the toxins and fat you burn off out of your body through your urine. It also helps keep you feeling full and does wonders for your skin. If your urine isn t clear like water, drink more.Also, take a multi-vitamin (like Centrum).If you were to do cardio like ride a bike or run for 20-45 minutes everyday AND diet, you ll be several sizes smaller in no time. But remember, losing weight is 90% about what you eat, not how much you exercise.Bodybuilders and fitness models basically eat this way. Not only is it low calorie, low carb, high in protein and natural...it controls your blood/sugar levels and how your body uses the food.Good luck!

The following material appeared in:www.intense-workout.comWhen you think of weight loss and losing weight, the first things that probably come to your mind are either those lose weight fast !! articles that are in every magazine and newspaper in the world that never work and are written by some personal training idiot that has no idea what they re talking about... or maybe you re thinking of all of those weight loss pills that claim to be safe and allow you to eat whatever you want and still lose weight because the pill will do all of the work for you or whatever stupid line they are using to get you to buy their useless unsafe weight loss product. Or, maybe you re thinking of rice cakes and never eating and being hungry all day long. Well, if you are thinking any of those things, forget it! Forget all of it! What I am about to give you is totally FREE, detailed, easy to understand information on weight loss and losing weight and how to lose weight and fat without using any type of pill or supplement, without using some fitness magazine diet, and by eating not 1, not 2, not 3, but 5 meals a day! Sound impossible? Sound too good to be true? Sound like I m going to make you buy my book or order my product first before I tell you? Well I m not! I don t have a book and I don t a have product. I am not trying to sell you a damn thing! What I am trying to do, no... what I am GOING to do, is tell you exactly how you can lose weight. Enjoy... Weight loss is simple, burn more calories then you consume. If you can fully understand that then you are on your way to losing weight. There are 6 simple steps. Here they are: 1) Count how many calories you eat in a normal day. That s right, wake up, and eat like you would normally eat and count the calories in everything you eat and everything you drink and keep track of it on a piece of paper or on the computer some where. You might be thinking to yourself, yeah right, I m not gonna sit around counting calories all day. Well, if you re thinking that, then you re obviously not dedicated enough to losing weight. If this is the case, then feel free to go waste your money on the newest useless weight loss pill. But, if you are dedicated enough to take 10 minutes out of your day and count the calories, then keep on reading. 2) At the end of that day, add up the number of calories you ate/drank. Be as exact as possible. Once you add it all up, you now have the total number of calories you consume daily. Also, weigh yourself. 3) Starting the day after you counted calories, eat 500 calories LESS then you normally do. So, lets pretend that the day you counted calories you counted 2000. For the rest of the week, you would eat 1500 calories a day. Understand? All you have to do is subtract 500 from the total number of calories you consume in a normal day, and eat this new number of calories every day for the next 7 days. 4) Instead of eating 3 big meals a day (breakfast, lunch and dinner), or eating all day all the time, spread those calories out over 5 smaller meals. Eat one meal every 2 and a half to 3 hours. Doing this will speed up your metabolism. 5) Cardio. Cardio is an important part of weight loss. If you re serious about losing weight, but don t want to do the cardio workouts, then you are requiring your diet to do all of the work. Jog, walk, swim, jump rope, ride a bike, take an aerobics class, whatever... cardio + proper diet = better than just doing one of the two. All it takes is 30 minutes a day, 3 - 5 days a week. I say 3-5 days a week because I don t know if you have 5 pounds to lose, or if you have 50 pounds to lose. So, depending on how much your looking to lose, figure it out. 3 times a week is good starting point though. (For information on the most effective time of the day to do your cardio workout, read doing cardio for maximum weight loss) 6) At the end of that week, weigh yourself. You ll notice a difference just after one week! Now, don t expect to see a 20 pound difference. Losing anymore then 1 or 2 pounds a week is unhealthly. So look for a 1 or 2 pound weight loss at the end of the week. Don t sound like much? You can lose 5-8 pounds a month! That s around 75lbs a year! So if you have A LOT of weight to lose, you can lose it. If have just a few pounds to lose, you can lose it. Important weight loss tips for losing weight effectively! (extremely important!) - THE BAD FAT MUST GO! Stay away from bad fat! Get rid of all the chips and candy. No more fast food, nothing fried. No more cookies, no more cake, no more of these saturated fats. There is no question about it and there is no way around it, get rid of these types of foods. Don t get me wrong, you should NOT be eating 0 grams of fat every day, but the only places you should be getting your daily fat intake from are lean meats (not the fried fast food kind), chicken (again, not fried!), etc. as well as the foods that contain the healthy types of fat, which can be found in just about every type of fish (tuna fish, salmon, etc.), nuts, olive oil and flaxseed oil. - LOWER THE BAD CARBS! Most people think that it is fat that makes people fat and that just by eating less fat, they are on their way to weight loss! WRONG! Certain carbs can be just as bad as fat when it comes to losing weight. Limit foods high in bad carbs. These carbs will eventually turn into fat. Foods like sugar, white bread, rice, pasta, potatoes, etc. are high in simple (bad) carbs. Sure, your body needs carbs, which is why foods like these are ok to eat, but don t go overboard. Stick to high protein/good carb/low fat foods like tuna fish (and other seafood), chicken breast, turkey, whole grains, fruits and vegetables etc. (For more information, go here: Diet Plans And Diets) - WATER! Drink water! Get rid of the soda, get rid of the beer, and get rid of the sports drinks. Drink around a half gallon of a day, more if you can. Spread it out throughout the day, just like your 5 meals. Yes that s a lot of water, but it s that water that will give you energy and speed your weight loss. - STRENGTH TRAINING! YES! Weightlifting isn t just great for muscles, it s great for losing weight. Muscles burn calories. - Weigh yourself at the end of every week. If you ever have more then 2 weeks go by without losing 1 pound, it s time to change something. Eat 250 less calories then you ve been eating. And keep everything else the same. Each time you see weight loss stop for more then 2 weeks, decrease calorie intake by 250 until you get down to where you want to be. Remember, NEVER starve yourself! - Sleep! YES! Sleep! The easiest, yet most over looked step. Get at least 8 hours of sleep a night. Trust me, you re gonna need it! =] - Food cravings! Can t stop giving in to your food cravings?

Use body fat calipers which you can buy right here: Body Fat Calipers The source of material the following is: YourBestBodyNOW.com? most diets and weight loss programs are set up for you to fail:?Over-restrictive diet plans that can t be kept up for long ?weight loss programs that only last for a few days ?Heavy duty workout plans that you don t have time for ?Specialty foods that are expensive and cannot be prepared quickly and easily. ?No guidance on what to do after the diet is over. ?No motivational support to help you stick it out to the end. Because of this, you end up making countless attempts to lose weight to no avail. And this is just great for the big diet companies. You can make them rich as you try and fail again and again in an effort to lose weight. But that s only a small part of it. There are serious psychological and health risks of dieting over and over without success. A weakened immune system, depression, and overeating (because you re depressed!) are all results of the vicious cycle of repeat dieting. If you have tried to lose weight in the past and still have not kept the weight off, you are probably a victim of much of what I am talking about. Here s an important fact: Until you adopt a simple and easy-to-follow weight loss program that provides you with the motivational support to reach your goals and a system to keep you toned long after you re done, you will NOT be able maintain weight loss, no matter how much you lose in the beginning. If you re anything like my friends were, you re sick and tired of missing the mark with your weight loss efforts. You want a program proven to help you get in shape and stay that way once and for all. Period. You also don t want to have to be an Olympic athlete to get through the workout program. That s why I put my fitness knowledge to work and searched for the most effective weight loss strategies in existence to create a program that would do just that. But it wasn t an easy journey. During my research, I came across some incredible information on dieting and exercise. I also came across some hard-to-accept information that was not easy to believe at first. But knowing what I know now, I understand that the breakthrough information that I learned is exactly what makes the difference between great success and complete failure in weight loss. Before now I ve only shared this information with my inner circle of closest friends or exclusive clients who made it well worth my while. Now I m practically giving it away to everyday people like yourself all around the world through this program. It all comes down to developing a no-hype, cut-the-B.S. understanding of precisely what it takes get fit and stay that way without gimmicks, pills, or self-starvation. Through this program, you will have that understanding. But first, you will have to let go of old weight loss and dieting myths. Myth #1: Eating a Low Carb Diet is the Only Way to Lose WeightThis is one of the biggest scams in the weight loss industry today. People are taught that by cutting out all or most carbohydrates and starches, they will effectively lose weight. Some programs even suggest that you don t eat fruit. LIES! Here s the real truth: Although there are some weight loss benefits to cutting out or at least minimizing many starchy foods, most popular diets and programs take it way too far! First of all, its just downright unhealthy. The body needs a certain amount of carbohydrate (including some starch) to get all of its nutrients and fiber. This is especially true at the start of your day. Second, cutting down too far on carbs robs you of the proper energy levels you need to help you get through the day (not to mention your workout!). Third, too little carbs will cause your body to burn precious muscle tissue. Since muscle burns fat 24 hours per day, an ultra low-carb diet may actually make you gain weight in the long run! I ll show you how to use the low carb principle in a way that will help you to reach your goals and then maintain them, without the unhealthy downside. You ll learn to eat the right carbs, instead of just low carb. You will also learn fat-melting strategies like: ?What times during the day to eat certain types of carbs ?Food combinations that will curb the negative effects of certain carbs. ?Which carbs will help or hurt you in your weight loss goals. ...And loads more! Myth #2: It Takes a Lot of Time to Work a Weight Loss Program into Your ScheduleLook, I know you re a busy person. With the demands of family, work, and sometimes school, there already isn t enough time in your day to get everything done that you would like. Many weight loss programs don t make things any better. They either demand that you spend extra time cooking special meals for yourself that no one else in the house can eat, or they insist that you spend hours in the gym working out to get results. I make it easy for you. You ll learn how to fit an effective exercise program into your schedule in as little as 15-30 minutes per day, a few times per week depending on your individual needs and goals. You will also discover that you can achieve lifetime weight loss by incorporating the program into the schedule that you already have. There s no need to rearrange your life or find tons of extra time to lose weight with this program. I ll show you how. To make it even easier for you I ll introduce multiple options for meals, workouts, and exercises that you can choose based on what works best for your lifestyle and budget. This program is so simple, you can post it to your refrigerator and just follow it. You ll see why so many people consider it the most simple and effective weight loss solution they ve seen in years. Myth #3: You Can Never Get Back to Your Original SizeA lot of people are told that once they ve gotten to a certain age or had children that they ll be stuck being overweight forever. Its a lie and a hoax! You can return to the size you used to be: ?Before gaining weight due to a pregnancy ?Prior to getting older ?Back when you used to work out all the time ?Before you got busy with work, family or school ?When you used to fit into your favorite sized clothes I ll show you how to adjust your eating and exercise habits so that you give your body no choice but to lose to weight, no matter how you gained it. Defy your age. Overcome your genetics. Blast through your body type. You ll learn how to do all of the above with me coaching you every step of the way. Myth #4: You Must Starve Yourself to Achieve Quick Weight LossThis is one of the most damaging of all weight loss myths. Starvation diets (where you eat as little as possible) have many more things wrong with them then I have time to talk about---but here s a few: ?Your metabolism is brought to a screeching halt and often ruined. ?You deplete your body s vitamins and minerals ?Constant hunger leads to binge eating ?You are exposed to serious health risks. ?The end result is that you actually get fatter! Every time you eat something---ANYTHING, your metabolism (which helps your body burn fat) gets a little boost. A diet that does not encourage you to eat robs you of this. In fact it works in the reverse. When you starve yourself to lose weight, your metabolism slows down significantly. And when the starvation diet is over, you get fat! Why? Because you ve sent your body into shock mode. It really thinks that there is a food shortage and is now storing up for the winter. And what does it store? Body fat---the exact thing you desparately wish to get rid of. Not eating enough food keeps your body from getting the full dosage of daily nutrients that it needs. This takes away your energy, kills your ability to focus, and can even bring on mood swings. In fact, there is so much that your body doesn t get when on a starvation diet, that you can easily risk serious health problems long-term. Another horrible thing is the constant hunger. This makes it much more difficult for you to resist tempting foods. And before you know it, you re binge eating. Couple this with a damanged metabolism, and you ve got a recipe for fat, fat, fat! And you don t want that. Get the picture? The Ultimate Secret to Weight Loss Success, Once and For All!Here s what no one else is going to tell you: If you REALLY want this to work---once and for all, you re going to have to kick the habit of going on diets altogether. Why would I tell you this? It s simple... A diet is a short-term solution to a long-term problem. Period. Why else would big diet companies not care if you ever lost weight? To keep you coming back for more!
Try using more fiber.If you eat caloric food, eat fiber with it. Fiber helps slowdown how fast sugar is metabolized and so it slows down the conversion to fat storage in your body when you eat too much. Also it helps to make you feel full. I like benefiber because you can put it in anything and you can t tell its there. Also, be sure to eat breakfast. The worst time to eat is at bedtime or late at night. When you eat matters for losing weight.
