I Exercise But I Can't Lose Weight

-
You do the same moves over and over.
When you first begin exercising, it can be tough to find an activity you love. Once you do, you want to keep at it, which is great -- but you also need to switch it up.
“Your body adapts quickly, sometimes in just a matter of a week, to whatever exercise you’re doing,” says Janice Clark, a personal trainer in Los Angeles. “Once that happens, your body doesn’t have to work as hard, and you burn fewer calories even if you do the same thing at the same intensity.”
The solution: First, make sure you have a well-rounded fitness program that includes aerobic exercise, resistance training, and stretching. By doing these three things, you’ll naturally give your body variety.
Then, every week to 4 weeks, change one thing about your workouts. For example, ride the stationary bike instead of running on the treadmill. Push yourself a bit more in one of your cardio workouts, or try a new strength exercise.
You talk with friends the entire time.
A workout buddy can encourage and motivate you. But if you can easily carry on a conversation while you exercise, you’re not working hard enough, which will make it tougher to achieve your goals, Clark says.
The solution: Don't dismiss your buddy, but save the chat for later.
When you exercise at a moderate level, you want to work hard enough so that you can only get out a few choppy sentences, not carry on a full conversation. When you work out intensely, you should be able to squeeze out only a few words before you need to take a breath.

You’re binge-watching TV.
It will pass the time. But you can’t focus when you’re deep into your favorite show, or when you flip through a magazine or scroll through email and texts. It’s too hard to get to and maintain the right intensity when you do that. And if you lean on the machine while you read? That’s totally cheating.
The solution: Do most of your workouts without the extra entertainment. If you must watch TV or read a book, check in every few minutes to make sure you’re at least working at a moderate intensity.
Okay, those are reasons you might be working out like a robot, just going through the motions but not accomplishing anything.
Exercising to burn fat isn't the same as other ways to exercise. Example, I tried to do cardio exercise to lose weight but it wasn't helping. Cardio exercise like weight lifting should only be done three times a week or every other day to give your muscles time to recoup. That's what I was doing but burning fat is different. You have to workout every day to burn fat and you have to stop eating fat and stop drinking calories.
Processed foods are loaded with fat even if it's not on the label. And when you exercise every day you have to change it up. You can't just walk the same two miles every morning and expect to burn fat. Your body will get used to the routine after about two weeks and you'll stop losing weight or burning fat.
So losing weight boils down to burning your body fat and you will have to exercise so you will have to do more walking and a couple days a week you'll have to do cardio exercise to strengthen your heart which will help your body function better and give you the energy to walk more and still burn fat.
Your body will control your body fat if you're eating the right foods and stay active. When you are gaining fat or becoming too thin those are signs your body isn't functioning properly. Lose your body fat and your body will function properly again.

The Mediterranean diet is based on the traditional foods eaten by people living in the Mediterranean region, especially Greece. It's loaded with healthy foods and research findings suggest following this diet may help reduce some of the risk factors for heart disease.  According to the Oldways Preservation & Exchange Trust, the Mediterranean diet was introduced in 1993 by Oldways, Harvard School of Public Health and the World Health Organization.  The diet includes: Olives and olive oil Whole grains, mostly in bread and cereal rather than pasta Very little red meat Fish and seafood Some cheese, but less milk Lots of vegetables and fruit Plenty of legumes and nuts A little red wine The Mediterranean diet is high in fiber and antioxidants from vegetables, legumes and nuts, far greater than the typical Western diet, and low in saturated fat.

Changing Your Life To Lose Weight

-

I can let you in on the ultimate secret for successfully making a change in your life. A century’s worth of psychological research reveals an interesting paradox in who we are. On the one hand, once we reach adulthood our basic personalities remain unchanged for the rest of our lives. We keep doing the same things—and feeling the same ways—over and over. But, on the other hand, every day we change our behavior drastically in response to different environments. Most of us are one person at work, for example, and another person at home. It is easier to change our environment than to change ourselves. So, if you want to change yourself, change your environment. Said differently: Whenever possible, don’t try to fight temptations – avoid them! The easiest way to make a change in your life is to modify the world around you in ways that will naturally drive you toward making, and maintaining, the change you want. There are many ways to change your environment, but let’s focus...

Cancer and High Protein Diets

-
On the Fox TV Network the other night, one of the big stories was about high protein diets. A new study has shown a link between the over consumption of animal protein and how it can stimulate the growth of cancer cells. It seems we all have cancer cells but they don’t normally grow, unless we consume too much animal fat, dairy or fats from processed foods. Before I continue I want to explain about the link to cancer. After all, Man has been eating red meat for millions of years, right. That's true but todays red meat is not the same. Most red meat that we buy in the supermarket comes from Steers that have been raised in feed lots on a grain diet that is full of hormones and other chemicals that shorten the growing time and put more fat on the animal. These hormones and other chemicals stay in the meat and what you're buying will contain the chemicals that the animal ate. Normally a grass feed Steer that lives on the range in big herds will take 18 to 20 months to grow to ...
