Want To Lose Weight Now?

-

 Great post from MyFitnessPal. Follow these suggestions and get on the right track. If your going to make a New Years Resolution make it a good one.

You have a MyFitnessPal account and you’re feeling ready to start losing some weight? You’ve come to the right place! When you work towards a weight loss goal on MyFitnessPal, you’re part of a community of over 75 million people who have used the app to lose over 150 million pounds. Weight loss is what MyFitnessPal does best.

Here are seven ways you can start losing weight with MyFitnessPal today:

1. Get in the habit of consistent tracking.

When you’re using MyFitnessPal to lose weight, the first thing you need to focus on is getting into the habit of tracking your food and activity. The more you track, the more you’ll learn about your eating habits—and the more likely you’ll be to reach your goals! 88% of people who track on MyFitnessPal for seven days lose weight.

2. Just keep tracking.

Some people have no trouble hitting the ground running with consistent tracking. For others, it takes a little longer to get in the groove. The most important thing is that you don’t give up. Every single time you track—even if it’s just a cup of coffee, an apple, or an egg—you’re taking a positive step towards a healthier you.

3. Complete your diary at the end of each day.

Be sure to hit the Complete Entry button at the bottom of your diary when you’re done eating for the day. You’ll get instant feedback on how your choices during the day impacted your progress towards your goals. This is a great way to stay motivated and make small adjustments to your behavior throughout the week.

4. Remember that it’s always better to track something than nothing at all.

Don’t feel like you need to be perfect when you’re tracking. Just do a quick search for the food you ate, find the match that seems closest, track it, and move on. Don’t stress if it isn’t a 100% match. You can focus on being more accurate with tracking as time goes on.

5. Take a moment each week to reflect and plan.

You’ll be amazed how much you’ll learn by asking yourself three simple questions at the end of each week:

How did last week go?
What’s going to be challenging the upcoming week?
How can I make this week a success?
6. Get in a habit of stepping on the scale.

You should weigh yourself and enter your weight in MyFitnessPal at least once each week so you can track your progress over time. You’ll get the most accurate information if you weigh yourself on the same day, first thing in the morning, in the same clothes, before you eat or drink anything.

7. Be sure to celebrate your non-scale victories.

That said, not all victories happen on the scale! Did you climb the stairs with ease? Skip the donuts at work? Reduce your blood pressure? Race your kids around the block? Break your 5K record? Have your ex walk past you and do a double take?

Be sure to celebrate all the ways your healthy habits are having a positive impact on your life. Stick with it and a happier, healthier you is right around the corner!

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 ...
