The Simplest Way to Loose Weight!

Jillian Michaels is known for getting results. But despite her tough approach on TV, America’s most famous trainer is also surprisingly realistic when it comes to the challenges normal women face. We grabbed a few minutes with Michaels to get her answers to some of the most frequently asked fitness questions.
NewBeauty: What’s the biggest mistakes you see people make when they try to lose weight?
Jillian Michaels: They follow fad diets and don’t adhere to the simple science of weight loss because it isn’t easy. Weight loss is a matter of eating less and using common sense with your food choices. That’s all there is to it. You don’t need to fast periodically or cut out food groups.
NB: Should you be losing weight differently depending on age?
JM: No. Weight loss is weight loss. And what weight loss requires is the exact same no matter what your age. Eat less, move more, don’t eat junk food.
When it comes to fitness, age has nothing to do with it. If you are in great shape as you age you will be fit and fine. I know 40 and 50 years olds that take care of themselves who are in better shape than most 20 year olds. The key with aging well is maintaining your health.

NB: Your best tip for fighting cravings?
JM: Give in to them 20 percent of the time. Practice the 80/20 rule and allow 20 percent of your daily calories to come from treat foods.
NB: You post a lot of funny quotes on your social media — is there mantra or an inspirational quote that you love or default to?
JM: Honestly, for me it’s always about the pep talk. Whenever I am overwhelmed or intimidated I just tell myself “you got this. You’ve been through worse. You’ve suffered through more. You’ve overcome greater obstacles.  Focus on the task at hand and power through it."
NB: What’s one exercise people should stop wasting their time doing?
JM: The elliptical. Ugh.
NB: What’s the best thing you can do after you overeat?
JM: Simple. Hit the gym the next day and get back on the wagon. And no matter what… don’t beat yourself up. People are not perfect. It’s about progress not perfection. I love to tell people, if you get a flat tire you don’t get out of the car and slash the other three tires. You patch the tire and get back on the road.

NB: You're a trainer for a new streaming workout series called FitFusion. Whas your best's tip for people who are trying to work out at home?
JM: The key with at home workouts is making sure you have access to material you like and material that matches your level of fitness. That’s what’s so cool about FiFfusion.  It’s a one-stop shop for beginners as well as advanced athletes.  The other thing is that we feature only your favorite trainers—the personalities you love who motivate you and have incredible expertise. Whether you are doing yoga with Tara Stiles, Pilates with Cassie Ho, or bootcamp with myself and Zuzka Light, we have it all from the so you get results and never get bored.
NB: What’s the most common question you get asked and what’s your answer?
JM: People want to know how I stay motivated.  The answer is about identifying your “why.”  In life, anything worth having comes at a cost. There is always work and sacrifice involved. That’s why I always say “Work with purpose is passion, work without purpose is punishment.”  Think of all the ways working out and eating right will benefit you in the long term and let that drive you. Whether it’s wearing skinny jeans, living to be 100, keeping up with your young kids, or having sex with the lights on—there is no reason too profound or too superficial as long as it’s important to you and worth the work associated with the goal.

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.

Top five(5) Bible verses to help with weight loss

 

 

Losing weight is difficult. For those of you that have attempted it, you know just how trying of a season it can be. While your friends go out to eat at your favorite burger place, you’re stuck at home; or worse, you sit at the restaurant and drink water, salivating over everyone else’s food. Many people have rightly pointed out that a diet is really just “die” with a “t” at the end. However, you can reach your weight loss goals, but it will require accountability, determination, and even encouragement. The best place to get encouragement, of course, is the Holy Scriptures. So, here are the top 7 bible verses to help with weight loss.

1 Corinthians 10:31 “Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.”

Before everything else, you must understand that losing weight is not just about you—it’s about God. It may sound a bit funny, but the Bible says that all things should be done to the glory of God, not just some things. All means all. So, you trying to lose weight is another potential area of your life in which you can glorify and worship Jesus. When this is on your mind, weight loss becomes much more meaningful.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 “Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.”

What a humbling realization; you are not your own! Your body is not just about you. The Holy Spirit takes residence within you, thus you must give it a healthy place to be! If you are carrying too much extra weight around, it will be difficult to certain things, you might be more prone to depression, have loss of energy, and so forth. When all of that happens, it becomes difficult for you to pour into other people’s lives and encourage them. Ask yourself the question: if you were in better shape, could you have more opportunities to spread the gospel and do ministry?

Galatians 5:16 “I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.”

Believe it or not, this is not necessarily taking the verse out of context. The lust of the flesh often includes: selfishness, lack of self-control, drunkenness, envy, wrath, etc. In other words, it is not very disciplined. When trying to lose weight, you have to be extremely disciplined. You cannot afford to continually slip up. Not to mention, the issue and sin of gluttony is very real. Sometimes, people eat a lot of portions and junk food when they are upset. They sincerely want to lose weight, but grief, stress, and anxiousness often work against progress. The Spirit is definitely needed to help with losing weight, because it’s essentially denying the flesh!

Proverbs 23:2 “And put a knife to your throat if you are a man given to appetite.”

This passage is talking specifically about dining with a ruler or king, but a principle can certainly be drawn from it. Many people, especially Americans, have a huge appetite, gluttonous even. And, it wouldn’t be too surprising to learn that those who have a lack of self-control with food have a lack of self-control in other areas of their life too. Show me a disciplined man with food, and I can show you somehow who is more likely to be disciplined in bible reading, prayer, etc. (of course, this is a generalization)

Corinthians 9:27 “But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest when I have preached to others I myself should become disqualified.”

Once again, although this verse is not specifically about losing weight, good principles can be taken from it. Above all, in order to reach your weight loss goals, you need discipline. Set a goal, a workable plan towards your goal, track your progress, and stay on track! If you do that, you will be shedding the pounds in no time.

Conclusion

Losing weight is very hard, but these Bible verses can help you stay motivated and encouraged during your diet and exercise season. But remember what 1 Timothy 4:8 says: “For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having a promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come.”
