I will be the guinea pig!!!

Guinea pig tester

yep that's right, I have decided to take the advice of all these gurus and mentors and experts...

Time to lose weight and tone up


You see I am one flabby and overweight 40 something mum. I have tried all sorts of diets, some worked and some failed... 

I think that makes me a sorta expert don't it lol....

weight


lets just say my weight has tipped the 12 stone (168) mark, my bmi is just over 30 and I am heading towards menopause like an out of control train...

Exercise


Lets say my excuse was always me being allergic to exercise... well now 20 years on and a lot of stubborn belly fat, a big bum and tree trunks masquerading as legs... I have now learnt I REALLY DO HAVE TO EXERCISE...

conclusion


well I have been exercising and eating "normal portion sizes" for 5 weeks now... I started weighing myself weekly 2 weeks ago...

I can feel the muscles developing under my flab...

I have been told a difference can be seen...

I am feeling better in myself for exercising...

I have not gained any weight at all during the last 2 weeks...

I have not lost any weight either, but, in my book that is no bad thing as muscle weighs more than fat, so I must be doing something right...

I have taken some pictures of what I look like and will be putting them on here during the course of the next few days, I will update them monthly, and then we can all decide if my exercise and diet regimes are working....


feel free to join me and post comments and how you are doing too...

My Diet Journey

                 Am I really Dieting?

Diet or Lifestyle Change?

I am a "yo-yo dieter"...

Now that I am older I am finding the past diet sins have hit me like a ten ton truck...

Do I try a diet or do I do a full on lifestyle change?

Well that is the point of this blog...

I am looking at all sorts of diets and methods and trying to work out which is best for me...

Diet

well the advantage of diets is fast weight loss...  The disadvantages are you will probably gain back everything you lost and then some...

Lifestyle change

the advantage of this is permanent weight loss... disadvantage, takes a long time and steely will power...

So far I have managed to do 3 weeks of intense workouts each 20 mins 3 times a week and 20 mins of kettle-bell work out 3 times a week...

Its been hard, I can't see any difference yet but I can feel it in my legs and tummy...

As for food, well I ain't doing too well there, I keep eating junk, but to be fair I have cut back significantly...

It would be interesting to get views from other people and recommendations on what they think works and NOT lol...

Feel free to to comment and leave your views, before I lose all will power....

Fat Loss 4 Idiots


                    Weight Loss Facts:


Low Fat Foods DON'T WORK.   


You cannot lose weight using Low Fat Diets.  Low fat foods have been popular for more than 15 years, but yet our society is getting more overweight as each year passes.  This fact alone should tell you that eating a purely low fat menu is not the answer to losing weight.

Low Calorie Diets DON'T WORK.


You won't lose weight using a Low Calorie Dieting Plan either.   In fact, eating low calories is the worst thing that you can do to your body, since that will only slow down your body's fat burning engine and ruin all chances of losing weight (low calorie diets may allow a few pounds of weight loss for the first few days, but then after that all weight loss comes to a halt --- known as a dieting plateau).   You can never get slim by starving yourself.

Low Carb Plans DON'T WORK.


You'll probably find it extremely difficult to get slim using a Low Carb Dieting Plan.  Low carb diets have recently become popular over the last couple years, but the problem with low carb menus is that they are too strict and TOO HARD TO FOLLOW for average people.   Low carb menus tend to rob your body of too much energy (carbohydrates) and make it nearly impossible to remain on the program for very long.  This is why so many dieters find it difficult to follow a strict low carbohydrate menu.

What about Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig Dieting Plans?


Weight loss programs such as Weight Watchers (and Jenny Craig) usually involve slower dieting progress over a longer period of time, since such programs generally promise only 2-3 pounds of weight loss per week.  Also, programs such as Jenny Craig usually involve buying special meals and/or dietary supplements during the initial phases of the program.  While some people may like these types of dietary programs, we prefer a dieting plan which focuses on faster weight loss, such as the Accelerated Fat Burning Program...

The 31 Day Fat Loss Cure - Explained

                     The 31 Day Fat Loss Cure


What is it and how does it work?


This program exposes the diet industry's secrets that keep you coming back after regaining the weight.

You will learn a little known solution for losing weight. No matter whether you are male or female or how old you are, The 31 Day Fat Loss Cure will help you. Even if you have tried to lose weight before and are convinced nothing will work.

You will find out which health foods are secretly making you fat!!!

You do NOT need any special gym equipment or dumb bells.


Everything you have been told about losing weight is wrong, find out why.

Secret 1


Long, slow cardio workouts do not work effectively. They can help you lose weight but you will also lose muscle mass. If you look at long distance runners, they are very thin with little or no muscle tone.

In order to lose weight work outs need to be short and use as many muscle groups as possible.

These types of workouts keep your body burning calories for up to 48 hours after the workout.

Secret 2


Most health food that you eat are in fact actually making you fat.

Whole-grains are the WORST food for making you gain weight. 

In the past, when we were cavemen, we were not able to process whole-grains, so we did not have Pasta, Bread or Rice, we had a diet rich in:

  • Meat
  • Fish
  • Nuts
  • Fruit
  • Vegetables
Our bodies have not evolved fast enough to process grains, so instead of our bodies accepting these foods and breaking them down, our bodies resist them. This causes us to suffer with Insulin Resistance. This is because we have huge spikes of insulin in our blood sugar which causes our body to store the excess as fat.

Secret 3


Ab exercises like crunches and sit ups do not work in burning fat.

Secret 4


People who use the right weight loss plan lose weight, those who don't, look exactly the same one month later.

This Plan is endorsed by:

Dr Ron Hekier. MD
Head weight loss Surgeon for the Bariatric Surgery Center for Texas.

What is ReNew?







How does the Renew Plan work?


Renew program is a diet program that is customized for you. It is endorsed by a Doctor. Renew promotes a healthy lifestyle and encourages weight-loss with the use of a healthy diet.


You are given access to 40+ videos and several resources including meal planners and health guides. You have access to information to put you on the right track to understanding how to live and eat healthy for life.


Why does the Renew Plan work?


The Renew Plan works by improving the body's health.As we make poor food choices, by choosing highly processed foods that van be high in toxins and preservatives we stop our stomach from communicating with the brain to say we are full so then leave ourselves wide open to gaining weight, becoming Insulin and Leptin resistant. This in turn can lead to obesity and chronic health conditions. For information on weight loss resistance click here


Why is this different to any other weight-loss Plan?


The difference is that this plan is NOT a diet. Diets can be restrictive and boring with no real choice of flavorsome food. This is why they cannot be continued in the long term. The only way to be successful in losing weight and keeping it off is with healthy lifestyle changes. The Renew Program will help teach you how to be healthy in the long term.

Do you have to buy special food/supplements?


The core principle of a healthy lifestyle means these supplements are not needed as all your nutrients are gained from your food.

Do you need to count calories or spend hours in the gym working out?


No, calorie counting is time consuming and life is for living. As for exercise, well no you do not have to spend hours working out, but exercise is recommended for a healthy lifestyle. With that in mind a video is available to show the merits of exercise.

We have looked at the Renew Plan, now it's YOUR turn to check it out, what you waiting for? CLICK HERE
