What I am going to challenge you to do is simply follow the tips in the chapter along with the following:Get moving, please move. Even if it��s only for 10 or 20 minutes, try to do some type of exercise. Read and Record your meals. Research has shown that if you plan your next day��s meals, and record what you actually ate your chances of eaten healthy increase greatly. Speak those things that are not as if they were. Have faith in your results. Everyday when you wake up say to yourself. ��I have a good body, I look good, feel good and I am very healthy�� I am happy with my results. I will look the way I desire to look.�� Ok here is the chapter from my new book ��The Gracious Diet�� Chapter 2Metabolismme��tab��o��lism n.

Published by Houghton Mifflin Company. Let��s talk about metabolism. What is all this media hype about the metabolism? Why is it worthy of grabbing front page headlines in every fitness magazine? The term metabolism, derived from the Greek language, simply means change or transformation. Our metabolism is what turns foods into energy. The higher the metabolic rate, the higher the caloric output. It is a necessary function that allows our bodies to use food and other resources to maintain the working parts, repair damage, heal injury and rid the body of toxins. In other words, metabolism is a necessary process, without which living organisms would die.Metabolism aids in digestive function as well as absorption of nutrients. It is most affected by nutrition, hydration and physical activity. Each of these items is an imperative aspect of optimum metabolic health. When any one of these is lacking, the metabolic rate decreases. Consequently, weight loss and weight maintenance are directly related to healthy metabolism.When does our metabolism work? Well the truth is it��s always working, even when you are sleeping. A well designed fitness program will elevate the metabolic rate. Below are nine closely guarded steps to increasing your metabolic rate.1. Eat protein at every meal, including breakfast.2. Eliminate wheat- and flour-based products for the time being. And yes, that definitely includes bread and pasta. 3. Eat unprocessed foods. Ninety percent of what you eat should be a combination of (in this order of importance) raw vegetables, steamed vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, and a few fruits. 4. Reduce starch to one portion a day, and don t eat that portion during your evening meal. Best choices of starches are beans, sweet potatoes, and oatmeal. 5. Reduce or eliminate dairy for the time being, especially cow s milk. Exceptions: reasonable amounts of low sugar, fat free yogurt. 6. Lose the booze. Despite what the studies say, you lose no health benefits by giving up alcohol (including wine). There is nothing essential in alcohol that you can t get in fruits and vegetables without all the bad side effects that go along with it. 7. Stop using vegetable oils such as sunflower, safflower and corn. The supermarket kind is highly refined, and it oxidizes easily when heated, contributing to arterial plaque. Use olive oil instead, and apply it to food after the food is cooked when possible. 8. Watch which types of fat you re eating. The amount of fat you eat is probably less important than the kind of fat you eat. The worst are fried foods, margarine and foods that contain hydrogenised or partially hydrogenised oils. The best is omega-3, found in fish and flaxseed oil. 9. Obsessively drink water: At least 8 ounces for every 20 pounds of bodyweight you re now carrying around, each day. Everyday. No excuses. By speeding up your metabolism, you will enhance your health. Increase the amount of calories your body burns.

A few of the things that have helped me are..Watching portion sizes. I found I was eating 2-3 portions of things without even realizing it. Check to see what the actual portion size is, and stick with it.Move every day. Even if it just a quick 20 minute walk. Keep doing something everyday to keep your motivation up.Don t keep sweets, junk food, or high calorie foods in the house. I have a horrible time keeping my hands off it if it is in the house. I won t go out and buy it, but if my husband buys it, I won t leave it alone until it s gone. Banish this stuff from the house.Do allow yourself little treats. I will buy a full size candy bar or snack size pack of cookies and only eat about 1/4 to 1/2 of it, then throw the rest away. Don t buy a bag of individual wrapped candy and then say you ll only eat one at a time, etc because you will end up eating the whole thing. (I know, because I did it :P )Weigh yourself every single day. Do it right after you get up and have relieved yourself. Do it naked also, you would be surprised how much clothing weighs. Do realize that you will have slip-ups. It s expected. Don t let it throw you off your game. Keep going.Try to get everyone in your household to understand that you are doing this for your long term health and that you will need their help. Otherwise they may sabotage all your good work without realizing.Good Luck to you....

first off, weights build muscle, cardio helps you loose weight. The basic guidelines are No soda, no fast food, lots of chicken, fish, fruits, vegies, whole wheat stuff, yogurt. Not so many cakes and donuts and cookies. Basic common sense for eating, you just need to enforce it. Get all the bad stuff out of the house right away, just toss it or give it away while your still motivated. No alcohol if that applies. Lots of water, 3-4 liters a day, not all at once, but spread out. Its really easy to down a liter or two while your watching tv or on the computer. Also drink some after you eat the bigger meals of the day, it helps your body pick out the nutrients in food when your food is more spread apart. As for exercise, lots of cardio. Find something you like. If you have never exercised much before, start with walking 30 minutes a day at a brisk pace. Move on to different terrains that include hills and increase the time spent. After a week or two, try jogging the route. No matter what find an activity you enjoy. Walking to jogging is just an example, try hiking, rollerblading, biking. Once you get into a regular routine, if your not happy with the level of difficulty, try signing up with a gym. Spinning, pilates or kickboxing classes are great. It will also introduce you to working with weights. Talk to a trainer for instruction before using any weights. A cheap investment is a balance ball, it works you stomach while your just sitting on it, like at your computer and its great for posture. There are hundreds of exercises you can use it for for your entire body. I can give you some ideas if you want, just email me. Good Luck!
if you drink a lot of tea or coffee stop putting so much sugar in it or don t put any, don t miss lunch as this causes you re body to store up fat, on days when you re not doing anything go out for a hours or so walk, use really heavy cutlery that way even eating is a bit of a work out, have more sex, don t eat before going to bed you re body doesn t digest it properly when you re asleep.if you work out with weights you can actually gain inches because of muscle growth so its important to do fast workout because thats whats burns off fat wereas slow workouts tone up muscle.
eat pretty healthy and exercise! :D
cut your portion size in half. i find this easier for me. i eat everything that i would normally do just not as much. that way, i dont feel bad or have the cravings that i normally would if i avoid it. also exercise.
If your serious take all that sweet stuff and crap you know is just makin ya umm wider pizza,candy,cookies,pie,ice cream and just find some room in the house and just lockit away. For a while just overall go down on your food intake. For the exercise portion if your gonna be jogging DON T jog lol sprint or run joggin doesn t do that much for you really. Run naked and post on the internet wait I mean run and drop some pounds.
