Fit Fat Loss

Archive for December, 2009

 

Welcome once again to Fit Fat Loss where we’ll try to learn a bit more about healthy weight loss, fat burning, vitamins and supplements, and even metabolism.

If you haven’t found what you’re looking for yet in the couple of months we’ve been online, please come back again, because we really are just getting started. As we grow, the sidebar will become more important with TAGS and SEARCH being able to pinpoint your interests.

I think we covered a lot of ground in the short time we’ve been in existence and I think there will be a trend toward what I call a Fit Fat Loss Event.

You see, there are many ways to lose weight, and many more ways to attempt to lose weight. In the end, keeping it off counts for a lot! Why repeat a diet?

And, we want you to stay fit while losing that fat. After all, there are diets out there that do more harm than good, so know what you’ll be getting into before starting one.

We currently do not recommend any specific diet plan because a lot of it has to do with your own personal situation and choices. However, as you see, we do try to steer you towards a couple of different ones and our contributor postings are here because we have seen some value in each one. One might work better for you than another, you have to make that final decision.

Yet, we are here to help, so you can always contact us, Curtis Webdesk Enterprises, using that page, or add a comment or two by clicking the comments area at the very end of each post.

We currently do not have a mailing list or newsletter but as the site advances and grows, we’ll be adding a mailing list. Then, with site maturity, a newsletter may be appropriate.

Your participation is important as we would like to see you succeed in your experience of a healthy weight loss, whether or not we have provided help or motivation.

We have many plans and goals for the site in 2010, so please spread the word and come back often. 

Together, let’s lose 100,000 pounds in 2010 – that’s 50 tons of fat… gone. <<— take the poll to make a pledge

Now that’s a Fit Fat Loss Event!

I pledge 20 lbs!

When you look around Fit Fat Loss, you should notice I added a couple of entries down the left side under the Blogroll, and it will continue to expand over time. I’m doing that to add some more variety to my site. Not everything has to be about dieting and healthy weight loss after all.

These are links to other sites: one is a very short Exercise Quiz, another covers Food Safety, and another, of personal interest, is an article totally unrelated to my pitching how to lose weight, regarding winter bird feeding. Then, back to the serious side of things is a link regarding the Presidential Fitness Test for adults.

I thought that test would never resurface – not that I suffered with it in high school and never wanted to see it again, because, I didn’t. It was just the opposite back then – I excelled in it. Now, being well over 40, I would suffer, deeply, if I could even complete it. But, this blog was born, in part, to serve for me as my own incentive-maker to personally lose weight and get fit. It’s working too. 10 pounds gone, 19 more to go. So, as soon as I feel prequalified for the test, and somewhat prepared, I’ll see if I can take it for my age group, which is, as I said, well over 40. (for my more familiar readers, who are probably laughing right about now, go ahead… enter that comment… maybe I’ll approve it… maybe I won’t… I’ll claim editor’s privileges!)

So, as you browse here a bit, check out those side links if you are so inclined.

P.S. Keep that new year resolution to experience a fit fat loss event, and come back here to stay motivated!

Check this out:
Fitness pro Jon Benson released a bombshell last week on the fat-burning world.

He is giving away a book’s worth of material in his free 7-Day Personal Fat Loss Certification Course. That is gratis… and get this: When you complete the course, you can get his book “The Radical Fatloss Blueprint” at no cost as well.

So there’s nothing to buy at all… in fact you get tons of stuff AND you can even earn bucks in the program. It’s just too cool for words.

Here is a short review:
This is for anyone who wants to become their own “personal” fat loss expert, complete with a quiz each day and more material than most people sell in a book.

After the course, you get his “Radical Fatloss Blueprint” free too. This is all about how he and a group of “guinea pigs” experimented with natural techniques and got up to 21 lbs of unwanted body fat off in just 21 days. The average was 17.5, but some people got as much as 30 lbs off.

“All with little to no muscle lost.”

It then outlines the ‘exact’ workout and supplement “feeding” schedule he still uses to get into top shape in 21 days. The schedule is detailed down to the ‘hour’ and includes your choice of home workouts or gym workouts.

This is his gift to my readers, and I am thrilled to share it with you.

Water is vital for all of us, but did you know it is also key in healthy weight loss?

Although water retention amounts to extra and unwanted weight, if you haven’t been drinking enough water each day – your body stores water. That’s right, without adequate water intake, your body will actually try to store water.

Drinking more water helps to flush toxins from the body – we’ve been taught that, but drinking 8 glasses of water a day (64 ounces) teaches your body that it no longer needs to store water. It doesn’t have to be plain water; however, make sure it is good, clean water. If flavored water is what you want, boil some water with a slice of lemon, lime, orange, or your favorite herb and drink this throughout the day. If you don’t like your water (for whatever reason), get a good home water filter. [and I’ll put in a plug for the environment… you won’t be contributing as much to our mounting problems with all of those excess plastic water bottles! Take care of yourself, and take care of the planet too!]

STAY HYDRATED.

　

One last thing, something we’ve all experienced, but perhaps did not stop to realize regarding the value of water, and that is, water acts to suppress the appetite. Some diets even tout using water as part of the diet plan. Cheers!

You know what?

I like “weird.”

I’ve always been a bit on the fringe side of the fence if you know what I mean.

A bit of a rebel.

So were guys like Einstein, Mozart, and Picasso. Not that I’m putting myself into their category of genius by any stretch… but I love their approach to life.

BE BOLD…OR GO HOME.

Makes sense to me. This life it too darn short for anything less than being bold.

That means taking some risks here and there. That means taking action while the others are content to sit on the couch being the same person they were yesterday.

And the day before…

And the month before…

And the year before.

Do you want to live your years like that? Or do you want to dive into life? Be the greatest “you” possible?

Then be a bit of a rebel.

Here’s some “rebel tips” for fatloss I think you’ll enjoy…

REBEL TIP 1
Flip The Food Pyramid Upside-down

The USDA’s Food Pyramid is an utter joke. It’s origins stink up the joint, let me tell you.

First, the grain industry was in a pinch when the Food Pyramid was created. And wouldn’t you know it… the grain industry increased their “contributions” (read: bribes) to certain politicians to get placement atop the pyramid… or in this case at the very bottom. The “foundation” if you will.

Just think about this for a moment:

The USDA wants you to eat (gasp) MORE starch than vegetables? More bread than fruits, lean meats, and hormone-producing fats?

Are they NUTS??

Yes… they are nuts. (Which, by the way, are no where near the foundation… nuts, that is.)

You’d be better off flipping the sucker upside-down.

That would look like this:

40% of your cals from healthy fats 30% of your cals from protein 30% of your cals from carbs

Roughly, that is.

Sounds… rebellious, right? Well it is.

Too bad I have the science (and the abs) to back it up.

If you want a system laid out for you, then go here:

REBEL TIP 2
Cardio Is Not Smart-ee-o

At least the way the so-called “experts” want you to do it.

Look: This isn’t rocket science. Just walk into any gym…take a look at the folks who only do cardio work for 45-60 minutes every day.

Do they look any different from year to year?

Let me save you some time: NO. They do not.

Cardio (unless you are into endurance sports) is a waste of energy done this way. First, it increases your carbohydrate cravings. For most people that’s not a good thing. Why? Because cardio at this pace burns mostly SUGAR, not bodyfat.

What do you want to burn?

Exactly. Bodyfat.

Finally, cardio is no where near as efficient as resistance training at dissolving bodyfat… and certainly not even CLOSE to resistance training when it comes to shaping lean muscle and getting the look all these cardio bunnies are after.

Now, I ‘do’ have a rebel cardio trick… and it takes 9-15 minutes 2-3 times a week to perform.

That’s it. And you get ALL the benefits heart-wise of long-session cardio.

Combine that with some brisk walking and my overall fitness plan and presto: No more bodyfat.

Here’s what is cool: I put my new in-home version of this resistance-based workout online for a few days at a major discount… but it’s only for people who pick up this:

The Every Other Day Diet     The “Rebel” Fat Loss Plan!

This is completely illustrated with photos too… and you do not need anything but resistance bands and perhaps some cheap dumbbells to do this in-home. Or you can use the gym-based workouts (included with videos.)

Train like this just 3-5 days a week and you can kiss long, boring cardio goodbye.

REBEL TIP 3
Do Not Overwork Your Abs

Here’s a mistake I see most people make in the gym: They do endless sets of crunches, leg raises, and (gasp again) sit-ups… all geared toward seeing those toned abs they want.

Guess what?

Waste of time.

In fact, it’s worse than that… it can literally shut down your recovery ability. You’ll slow your progress in the gym (or at home)… and your fat-burning too.

And you may give up your plan entirely because of it.

Here’s the brutal truth: Ab ‘muscles’ are easy to build. It only takes about 3 minutes 2-3 times a week… that’s it.

( Note: I included my “3 Minute Abs” in the fitness book I just told you about… it’s only for those who get EODD though… )

The muscles are not what make your stomach flatter… it’s the nutrition plan folks.

You’re just building muscle underneath layers of bodyfat… not good.

I do very little direct ab training. When I do it’s usually 3-5 minutes tops 2 days a week. And my abs are… well… good. : )

I rely on resistance training and my special “favorite foods dietplan” to get and stay lean.

More about it all here:

The Every Other Day Diet     The “Rebel” Fat Loss Plan!

So be a rebel.

Thumb your nose at the establishment and step out on your own.

Trust me: You’ll be a leader in every sense of the word if you do.
