Never try to eat these if you are trying to loose weight

Lots of experts say it's stupid to forbid yourself from eating certain foods - that denying yourself something you really want to eat can ultimately lead to binge eating and eventual weight gain. So dessert isn't on this list - it's OK to indulge sometimes! But some foods really do deserve the ax - especially if you are trying to loose weight. In which case, avoid these foods (when you can!) to fend off cravings and hunger, and support your efforts to slim down.

1. Any snack that only contains carbs

When you eat crackers, dry cereal, bread, or rice cakes alone, your body converts the carbs to simple sugars and sends it directly into your blood stream. In response to the sugar rush, your body produces extra insulin, which helps your body absorb the sugar ASAP. The problem: You end up with low blood sugar and the same hunger pangs that led you to carb it up in the first place. You then may be inclined to reach for sugary foods with no nutritional value to satisfy your need for instant energy, says Charlie Seltzer, M.D., a weight-loss specialist based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Eat This Instead: Snacks that contain a combination of carbs, healthy fats, and protein. They take longer to digest, and will, therefore, tide you over for longer.

2. Frozen meals

To make fresh ingredients last extra long in your freezer, food manufacturers often load frozen meals with sodium, a natural preservative, Harvest says. Sodium makes you retain water, which bloats you up - so you won't look and feel your best regardless of how much weight you want to lose.
Also: When food manufacturers try to squeeze a meal's worth of calories into a teeny-tiny box, every bite ends up containing lots of calories by design, Harvest adds. While large portions trick your brain into thinking your body is full, the measly portions found in freezer meals are inherently unsatisfying, even though they contain plenty of calories.
Eat This Instead: Pre-frozen leftovers. Just double up on ingredients the next time you cook dinner, then cool and toss leftovers in a microwave-safe container to keep in your freezer for one to six months depending on what you're cooking. Or stock your freezer with frozen veggies and your protein of choice (like chicken breast tenders, which cook faster than full breasts, or veggie burgers) to whip up a meal in the same amount of time it takes to cook a premade microwave dinner.

3. High-fiber snack bars

Yes, everyone needs fiber - it keeps your digestive system churning and keeps you feeling full, even when you're cutting back on calories. What you don't need: Nearly one day's worth of fiber (about 25 grams) in one snack bar, with a diet that's otherwise devoid of it, Harvest says. "Fiber intake has to be consistent throughout the day to stave off hunger, improve digestive health, and not cause stomach upset."
Eat This Instead: Produce that's naturally rich in fiber - any fruit or veggie will do. Make produce a part of every snack and meal you eat throughout the day, and you'll get your daily dose of filling fiber, no problem.

4. "Low-fat" foods

research suggests that people tend to eat upward of 30 percent more when they know they're eating a food that's low in fat. The problem (besides overeating, which can quickly thwart your weight loss goals) is that when food makers remove fat from food, they inevitably remove some of the flavor. To compensate, they often add sugar, which makes the product even worse for you.

Eat This Instead: Healthy fats in moderation. That means dipping your baby carrots in guacamole (which is rich in monounsaturated fats) or hummus (often made with olive oil, another good source of the same healthy fats) instead of fat-free ranch.

How to loose 76 pounds - my weight loss success story

 

After hitting her highest weight ever, Casie Price added daily walks and clean eats—and dropped 76 pounds. Below is a summary of her strategies:

 

1. Bag it up: No matter what you do, you can never loose weight without pit a serious check on what you eat. Therefore, I portion out all my snacks, ahead of time in bags. This lets me take my healthy eats anywhere while keeping my serving sizes in check.

2. Crush a quickie workout: On extra-busy days, I do a quick 20 minute work-out. It really revs up my heart rate.

3. Write it out: When I’m dreading the gym, I grab a pen and paper and map out my workout; having a game plan prevents me from wasting time or slacking off during my session.

4. Find sweet swaps: I love peanut butter. To avoid some of the fat that comes with it, I mix the powdered kind, PB2, into Greek yogurt. It gives me that nutty, creamy taste without the guilt.

   So, whats your own experience? Try mine. It could be the key you have been looking for all these while. See you in our next post.

Fastest way to loose weight REVEALED!

 
“Fastest way to lose weight, lose weight without cardio, burn fat without exercise, lose tummy fat in a week.” These are seriously highly searched terms each month which means that there are numerous people out there sitting behind the screen of a computer, obviously not satisfied with the physical state they are in, yet not motivated enough to actually do the work to make the change they “so deeply desire.” They want the easy way out. One search term combination that popped up often and got me thinking, would always start with “best exercise for *blank*“ and then input the persons goals. Best exercise for fat loss, best exercise to lose arm fat, best exercise to tone legs, whatever. This got me thinking. Firstly, that people are very mislead and think that repeating one exercise over and over will create dream results. Insert Albert Einstein Insanity Quote here, but I actually asked myself, if someone hypothetically questioned me, what is the best exercise ever … what would be my answer? This is like the, if you had to listen to one song forever, or could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, type hypothetical question but I gave it some pondering and eventually I figured it out!
The answer? Well … you don’t even need to step in a gym or sweat to work this muscle!
The best exercise ever if you are looking to lose weight without a doubt, is reading. Yes. Reading. Let me explain why! Seeing the search terms of what people are researching in regards to fitness, proves to me, in a few simple words, how little these people know about how the body functions, repairs, burns and stores energy. Majority of the reason that people hire personal trainers comes down to 2 things. Lack of motivation and lack of knowledge.
Did you know, many people, and even some “fitness professionals” are unaware that you cannot target where your body burns fat? Therefore so many people become disgruntled when the 500 sit ups they are doing every night results in no visual difference in their waste line. If this person had educated themselves on knowing that the body burns as a whole and in order to bring down your belly fat, you have to bring down your body fat, they would not be crunching their way to disappointment. Educate yourself on how your body works, what exercises you are doing, and why you are doing them in the first place!
This not only applies to exercise. Educating yourself about diet is probably even more important. I would say that approximately 60% of your success or failure lies in what is done outside the gym, and in the kitchen. You can burn as many calories as you like, but no matter what, if you have a surplus of calories at the end of the day, you will not lose weight. Fact. One of the most positive things to see with people who take this serious piece of advice, is the positive momentum it creates. People naturally like to put things to the test, and when someone finds a new exercise, a new tip, or bit of diet advice, and see results from it, that motivates them to keep educating themselves, keep growing and progressing.

Combine cardio with core work to reap the flat-belly benefits of both types of sweat sessions in this quick, 20-minute workout. It alternates between jumping rope and standing ab exercise, so you can tone your belly while burning serious calories in just 20 minutes. We use one eight-pound dumbbell in this workout to increase the toning potential of each exercise. No weights? No problem. This workout will still be effective without them.
Learn the details of the strength-training moves below, then print this workout, and start jumping!

Low to High Woodchop

• Squat and twist to hold the dumbbell on the outside of your left leg.
• Exhale and lift the weight diagonally across your body, ending twisted to the right with the dumbbell above your head. Pivot on your left foot as needed.

Weighted Side Bend

• Hold the dumbbell above your head, squeezing your ears with your upper arms to activate your core.
• Pull your abs to your spine and lengthen your spine as you bend slowly to the right. Return to standing upright, and then slowly to the left. Keep your pelvis still as you bend to the side.

Kick Crunch

• Exhale to engage the abs as you kick your right leg up, bringing your left hand to your right toes, doing a small crunch.
• Repeat on the other side.

Rotate Row

• Start in a shallow squat, holding the weight in your right hand.
• Pull your elbow back, squeezing your right shoulder blade toward your spine while you twist to the right. Do for 30 seconds, then switch sides.

Overhead Circle

• Stand with your feet slightly wider than your hips with your knees soft. Hold the dumbbell overhead with both hands.
• Keeping your abs pulled to the spine, circle the weight around your head starting to the left. Your ribs can move slightly, but your pelvis should stay still. After 30 seconds, reverse direction and circle to the right.
