Hungry much?

How to loose weight? 

 

How to loose weight? This question many wonder,some think they already know the answer.
Is starving yourself key to weight loss? Is "juice diet" proper and healthiest way to go? My personal opinion is that both of those "solutions" are FAIL and heres why: Starvation diet may work for you for about three to 6 months.At the beginning of starvation diet you start to loose water and water ONLY! Since water takes a significant percentage in our weight we might think we're actualy loosing fat,which is FALSE,you might look less bloated and will become dehydrated.
I was In high school junior year,it was somewhere in May or June( Spring break) when I decided to go on a "Diet." I would eat only dinner without the bread,whatever My mom prepared and durning the day I would snack on a Kinder chocolate or any type of sweets I found laying in the house.Of course I wouldnt eat the entire candy bar,only enough to give me energy to continue.I was young,wanting to look thinner and had no CLUE about proper nutrients.Upon returning to school many envied my weight loss and asked for advice on how to loose weight.I would respond " No bread,diet" the fact is,I was startving myself.
The point here is that you cant continue to starve yourself forever! Soon or later you will become tired of starvation,tired from lack of carbs,dehydration,lack of vitamins etc etc and you may even end up in hopsital!

Juice diets: Are also one of the fails just like starvation diet. Even if you make it through the entire cleanse without cheating, the feeling of deprivation may be so strong that as soon as the cleanse is over, you can't help but grab nachos, a burger, fries, and a brownie sundae, consuming more calories in one meal than you normally would have in an entire day before you embarked on the cleanse.

Messes with metabolism: A typical juice cleanse lasts anywhere from three to seven days (or sometimes longer), where you drink 32 to 64 ounces of freshly pressed fruit and vegetable juice each day. When your body doesn't get the all the nutrients (or the amount of calories) it's used to, it stresses out because it thinks it's starving. Often the body reacts to this by slowing down its metabolism, which can make losing weight harder in the future. And while juicing is an easy way to deliver phytonutrients to the body, the fruit-based juices tend to be high in sugar, which can negatively affect insulin levels in the body.

 And keep in mind that the older you get the harder it is to loose weight. It's not a myth that weight loss gets harder as you get older. Women who have children later in life might have a harder time shedding the pregnancy weight. However, even people trying to lose just a few pounds will have a harder time at 40 than they did at 20. As the body changes, so should your weight loss system.


To shed lbs the heathy way is done by exercise and clean eating . Educate yourself about nutrients,join the gym,go for walk in the park,visit health sites for healhy recipes. Study shows that the perosn who exercises regulary has less potential to eat junk food.

Cellulites!!



Cellulites develop righ after puberty.The normal fat within our skin pushes through the network of connective tissue and creates these pockets of bulging fat. As fat accumulates, it causes the skin to appear lumpy, rippled and even cottage cheese-like in texture.There is no easy way to get rid of cellulites.cardiovascular activity can help reduce cellulites: running,jogging,biking,exercising that perticular part of th ebody where celulite occurs.
 Hormones play a dominant role in the formation of cellulite. Estrogen may be the important hormone to initiate and aggravate cellulite. However, there has been no reliable clinical evidence to support such a claim. Other hormones, including insulin, the catecholamines adrenaline and noradrenaline, thyroid hormones, and prolactin, are all believed to participate in the development of cellulite.

Quick fixes for cellulite

• Stop smoking. Studies suggest that smoking can weaken the skin and damage the connective tissue that causes the dimpling effect.
• Toss the tight panties (we’re talking Spanx here, ladies), which can limit blood flow. Instead, try a cotton thong to reduce the impact.
• Try a body bronzer or tinted self-tanner to visually smooth out uneven skin.Bath and Body works has amazing skin bronzer/lotion that gives it a nice gentle glow.


Lunges ( My favorite) are great for targeting both the upper thighs and the buttocks area, and are even great for getting rid of excess fat on the inside of the legs. There are several variations of lunges that can be performed, including front lunges, side lunges, or even walking lunges using small hand weights. You can choose your favorite type or even try all three, since you will be targeting several muscles within your legs and buttocks area. Try starting out with about 10 repetitions each set for a total of three sets, and work your way up to 20 lunges per set once you have given your body a chance to adjust to the new workout.
Stretching before and after any type of workout is not only great for your entire body, but is great for making sure that your workout will target your cellulite areas. Stretching will help to warm up your muscles and increase circulation throughout the body, making it easier to burn fat and break up the connective tissues that have resulted in cellulite. Your stretching routine should last for at least ten minutes, and should focus on the areas where cellulite is most common. Stretching the lower back, buttocks, and lower extremities is essential, since it will help to increase circulation and make it much easier to workout. It will also help to prevent your muscles from feeling sore after your workout, so you can maintain a regular routine without having to take a day off.

  Remember to consult with a health care professional before starting any new fitness programs.
