Even the Weight Loss Experts Say to Drink More Water!
There are a couple of weight loss experts I feature here at Fit Fat Loss. Most recently it was Holly Rigsby of Fit Yummy Mummy, before that it was Jon Benson with The Every Other Day Diet and M-Power (and others).
Guess what? They have paired up.
As excellent as each is individually at teaching you about healthy weigh loss, they’re going to be quite a team! We’re fortunate to have them featured here.
The latest link in the last email from Jon put a smile on my face.
He included a 1-minute fat loss tip to share with you:
…he had no way of knowing I already had you covered with a brief posting titled Lose Weight With Water… back in December, 2009
It is, after all, an old, proven method to help cut the pounds. Plenty of people are just learning about the value of water in a healthy weight loss program however.
But definitely check out his site. I’ve affiliated with him (and Holly) for some very good reasons. Their weight loss values match those I want to share with you here at Fit Fat Loss.
Oh, the Every Other Day Diet (EODD) site has been redesigned so it is something to see too. Check the main presentation: “1 Tip To A Flat Belly!”

Fat Loss, One A Day At A Time
I have a respected guest contributor today, Holly Rigsby, of Fit Yummy Mummy
If you’ve been visiting this site for any time now, you know that I do not write all of the articles. I try to bring my readers honest, authoritative information on how to lose weight. To do that, I examine and review many sources of information and pick a few that align themselves with my views. I’ll even post contributor’s articles that differ from my views provided they are of merit. Losing weight, and targeting fat loss, is not easy, nor is it singular in the methods used.
There are also occasions that I prefer to simply defer to the experts and pass on and stress the most valuable aspects of their programs.
With Holly, it is a matter of weight loss for moms.
I am not a mom, I am a dad.
I did not go through the weight gain of a pregnancy, and I do not know the personal challenges of trying to regain a pre-pregnancy figure. But isn’t weight loss, after all, weight loss? Well, perhaps, but on this aspect, I would prefer to have it presented woman to woman.
Fat Loss, One A Day At A Time
By Holly Rigsby, CPT

Rome wasn’t built in a day and your fat loss won’t happen that way either. Don’t expect to start eating perfectly and exercising religiously tomorrow. Instead set yourself up for success by implementing at least one supportive habit per week. Make an effort to adopt the premise of “progress, not perfection.” By developing awareness that improvement is measured by your daily progress, you can save yourself a lot of grief and frustration from the beginning. Focusing on small, positive steps in everything you do is a vital component to change. It starts you moving in the right direction and the momentum of your amazing, transforming results will soon follow. With time, commitment and a willingness to continue to take those small steps, failure is not an option.
How to do it: Be mindful of the fact that you didn’t gain it overnight so you’re not going to lose it overnight. A safe and effective fat loss program will yield 1 to 2 pounds of fat loss a week, not 10. As you begin your weight loss journey, aim for 2-3 small improvements each week. Build up to eating more supportively and moving a little more than yesterday. These small changes will add up to big improvements over time.
Beware of supplements and “quick fixes” that promise accelerated fat loss. Instead, plan on losing fat weight slowly. Sure we all want instant results, but it’s impossible to undo a years of inactivity and poor nutrition overnight.
Instead of only looking at the big picture, try to break it down into smaller bites. Set one-month goals, three-month goals, six-month goals and even yearly goals. Carry over each previous goal to make sure that you aren’t stopping one to achieve another. Make sure goals are achievable and realistic and what you truly want. A half-hearted desire will produce half-hearted results.
Remember, life happens and we must face the challenges. Sometimes that means not getting to exercise or eat properly. The difference is we get it. We make it a point to view each situation, each setback as an opportunity to LEARN and ASK, “What could I do differently next time?” Then it becomes a matter of getting back on track as soon as possible. Leave the excuses and blame behind and forget about beating ourselves up – we’re only human. Strive to do a little better today than you did the day before. The key is to stay consistent, focused and take daily action. Make goals meaningful. Our minds cannot differentiate between achieving an enormous goal or a miniscule goal it only perceives success or failure. If you set a goal that is impossible to fail you’ll only be setting yourself up for tremendous victory.
Don’t be too rigid. Telling your self that you HAVE to workout for a set time to feel a sense of completion is ill fated. If you set out to workout for 30 minutes and you only get in 20, you’ll more apt to be disappointed regardless of how hard you worked. If you simply set a goal to go to the gym at least 2-3 days a week and complete your resistance training and cardio you’ll perceive yourself as a winner.
An additional goal idea: Have you ever wanted to participate in a race or sport that you’ve never had the endurance for? Then use that as a goal! When the end justifies the means it’s easier to make it through the rough spots. It’s a win-win situation if you are able to achieve a want and a need simultaneously!

Convinced Starving Yourself Is The Wrong Way To Lose Weight?
Here’s the deal. You deserve to lose weight and I want you to discover a diet that will lead you to the body, health, and happiness that you have been looking for.
You deserve to strip any unwanted fat from your body and look and feel the way you have always wanted. The name of this healthy weight loss system is Strip That Fat , because that is exactly what happens when you use it. It instructs you how to lose weight by stripping unwanted fat from your body, regaining the healthy glow back into your life. Less fat will give you more energy, a clearer mind, and actually increase happiness!
Many diets are much too strict, not sustainable, and make your life miserable. Hey, your body requires food to function. Losing weight the wrong way… not making it a Fit Fat Loss… by not eating is actually worse for you than gaining weight. And low fat foods do not equal weight loss either.
Do it wrong and it will affect the way your brain functions and not just slow your metabolism down, but bring it to a grinding halt!
You CAN NOT lose weight and stay healthy by starving yourself of nutrition.
Following pre-packaged Diet Programs can cost you dearly each month to maintain! Does it make sense to spend more than most families spend on groceries in an entire month for one diet plan?
If so much does not work, what does it take to strip unwanted fat from your body?
Well, do YOU eat the wrong foods?
Or do YOU eat during the wrong times of the day?
And perhaps YOU eat empty calories watching your favorite TV Show? How about some easy exercise… do YOU neglect to walk the dog or play with your kids?
Now, diet is most of the battle, and granted, exercise is important too. Yet, most overweight people are prevented from being rewarded with a healthy waistline because of what they “consume”, not because of lack of exercise!
It is simple… unless you have equalized calorie intake and expenditure, the food you eat will either make you lose weight or gain weight.
Conventional wisdom has it that we need breakfast, lunch, and dinner everyday; however, eating 3 big meals per day is not good for our body. 5 meals a day is better for you. (Yes, some say 6 meals is even better)
Eating more often readjusts the metabolism to burn more calories. I‘ve said it before, eating smaller meals and eating the right foods, will result in even more weight loss! Strange as it sounds, but if you understand your body, you can truly manipulate your metabolism for speedy and sustainable weight loss – our bodies are very complex!
All of that and more is what you are taught in Strip That Fat.
Consider the following statements:
- Actually lose more weight simply by eating the right metabolism burning foods

- You actually get to eat more and lose more with Strip that Fat!
- Notice results within the next 7 days!
- Access to package updates when you purchase the Strip That Fat System! Bonuses too, from time-to-time…
It’s all covered… and that just scratches the surface of what this diet offers.
You can experience big results in a short time with the STF Diet Generator. This creates diets on the fly and provides a choice of over 40,000 different diet combinations. You only have to eat the foods you like.

If you do not start at this moment, you will continue gaining weight. It is time to use a diet that actually works, it is time to treat your body the way it is meant to be treated.
Losing weight has never been more possible. So do yourself a favor, join Strip That Fat and start losing those stubborn pounds right away.

Starve Your Body vs. The Alternative
Part 5 of Starving Yourself to Lose Weight is Dangerous
The final part…
Healthy weight loss… the safe, sensible, and effective solution. A combination of healthy eating habits and some exercise will not only help you shed the pounds, but will keep you fit and allow you to stay at your optimum weight year after year. Weight loss should be a once in a lifetime event, a Fit Fat Loss Event.
Do this:
Eat well, eat little, but eat often. Smaller, more frequent meals help keep your metabolism going throughout the day. It’s an easy lifestyle change. However, if this is totally impractical, just squeeze in a healthy snack between meals to keep your body going.
Don’t skip breakfast. The one period of the day when you can’t keep your metabolism revved up is while you are sleeping. You need breakfast to get your body burning calories again. Then keep the metabolism revved all day.
I feature programs that practice both.
Exercise, of the fat burning type. There are firm believers that “cardio” exercises, such as jogging, swimming, cycling, and low impact aerobics are excellent fat burners. However, I’m not convinced cardio is the best form of exercise when it comes to burning fat.
Build muscle mass. That means doing some weight training, but not heavy weight lifting. We discussed the energy burning ability of muscle, remember? Building up more muscle mass will turn your body into a calorie burning machine by increasing your metabolism. Keep the calorie intake below the calorie expenditure and experience a Fit Fat Loss Event. Even 7 minutes of specific exercise can do it!
The programs I highlight on Fit Fat Loss BURN FAT and they incorporate exercise that produces results.
These programs are not dangerous on your body. However, that said, be sure to check with your physician before starting any exercise program.
You owe it to yourself to look into them.

Starve Your Body, Place It On The Verge Of Breakdown
Part 4 of Starving Yourself to Lose Weight is Dangerous
OK, so we are discussing starving your body by extreme dieting. You’ve convinced your body it is starving. What it does next is try to conserve enough muscle to quite simply stay alive.
Finally, after about a week of starvation, the body will learn to use its stores of FAT as fuel instead of muscle. However, when fat is metabolized, ketones are produced. After a lengthy period of starvation, ketones will build up, and eventually turn toxic, leading to a condition called “Ketosis“.
Too much toxic waste in the liver taxes it, causing vital bodily functions carried out by the liver to slow down or cease. It’s a fact of life. The body is breaking down.
All of this extreme, rapid weight loss greatly stresses the body. There is the lack of vital nutrients that will begin to show in your overall physical appearance. Although I recommend supplements during weight loss, their benefit in a starvation diet would be lost to the risks incurred – this is not the route to follow to lose weight.

Starve Your Body And Gain Weight!
Part 3 of Starving Yourself to Lose Weight is Dangerous
Did you know that trying to promote weight loss by habitually skipping meals has the opposite effect on your overall weight?
The body will think that it is not getting regular nourishment and will begin to store calories, in the form of FAT. It won’t burn calories in the effort to ensure there is enough energy to get past the period of starvation.
All of this is bad news for starvation dieters, and it doesn’t end there either. When you eventually resume your normal eating habits, getting back to “regular” calorie levels, weight gain will occur even faster and will consist of more fat than before. (If you have ever experienced weight rebound, have you noticed the fat seems “different“?) What happened was that your metabolic rate, being much slower than before, stores the excess calories as fat now. The result…? You could very well end up weighing even more than when you started.
Also, the wasted muscle will not miraculously reappear. You will have to exercise even more to build it again. Life is so cruel! The tricks it throws at us!
