Low Fat Diets DO NOT Work...<br /><br />More people need to aware that you body needs a certain amount<br />of fats in order to function properly. Your brain needs a certain<br />amount of fats daily as well. Your thinking will be foggy and your <br />skin will not be healthy if you are on a very low fat diet.<br /><br />A certain amount of fat in your diet can even help to lose weight.<br />Yes, if you are eating some fat and the right kinds of fat, it will<br />help you lose weight.<br /><br />People have been trying low fat diets for at least 20 years, and <br />the amount of people becoming obese is increasing, not decreasing.<br /><br />So FORGET low fat diets, use something that works with people and<br />the way the body needs fed its nutrients.<br /><br />Be sure to check out <a href="http://www.smartweightlossplan.com/diet-ebooks/index.html">calorie shifting</a> and <a href="http://www.smartweightlossplan.com/diet-ebooks/index.html">weight loss programs</a> on my site.Jeannie Crabtree C.Acnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17290193.post-70120384247992869452008-03-21T11:36:00.000-07:002008-03-21T11:54:15.229-07:00Exercise Helps With MenopauseIf you are middle aged and trying to lose weight, <br />here is another added reason to add exercise into<br />what you do.<br /><br />Studies have shown that exercise, even if it is just<br />walking increase the chemicals and endorphins that<br />help make you feel better and improve moods.<br /><br />Plus regular exercise helps increase the strength of your<br />muscles and bones.<br /><br />As you enter menopause, this is important. Women need<br />to keep active to avoid osteoporosis. Estrogen levels are<br />decreasing at this age, and you have the means to help<br />keep your bones strong and healthy. Exercise stimulates<br />the bones and helps keep them healthy.<br /><br />For herbal assistance during menopause, many women<br />turn to <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/m-pr.cfm?merchantID=6374&userID=146633&productID=453428232" target="_blank">MellowPause for Menopause Symptom Relief</a>Jeannie Crabtree C.Acnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17290193.post-72653881416501684062008-02-27T16:19:00.000-08:002008-02-27T16:32:42.155-08:00Weight Loss SolutionYour <span style="font-weight:bold;">weight loss solution</span> can start with something<br />simple and easy.<br /><br />If nothing else, decide to drink enough water today <br />to remain well hydrated. I suggest one quart of water <br />to every 50 pounds of weight, so if you weighed 150, <br />that would be three quarts of water a day.<br /><br />Just doing this, starts you on a path to better health. <br />It may also help with your weight. And it will <br />certainly help you feel better about your body that <br />you are taking a step in the right direction.<br /><br />Actually a weight loss solution can be a small <br />change in direction in your life. What is the most <br />important factor is actually making that change and <br />taking that first step.<br /><br />Now, besides the water, how about adding two or three <br />MORE servings of vegetables in your diet each day? A <br />serving is one half of a cup usually.<br /><br />And make some of that raw vegetables, as these have <br />enzymes and life force in them that your body needs <br />for optimal health. The more raw, natural food you <br />eat, the better you will probably feel. So if most of <br />your vegetables, sprouts and fruits can be raw, you <br />will see a difference.<br /><br />Doing that each day could be the weight loss solution <br />breakthrough that you need to push yourself to a better <br />diet. Do this for 21 days, and you are reinforcing a <br />habit, which will serve you in better health and some <br />weight loss.<br /><br />Long lasting weight loss is often done slowly, and <br />becomes a habit in how you eat. This becomes a long<br />term weight loss solution because you are approaching<br />food differently.<br /><br />For more weight loss solutions, get your <a href="http://www.smartweightlossplan.com/weight-loss-newsletter.html">free weight <br />loss report and newsletter</a>.<br /><br />Jeannie CrabtreeJeannie Crabtree C.Acnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17290193.post-71936850625360930002008-02-17T16:07:00.000-08:002008-02-17T16:11:19.385-08:00Calories In Food<span style="font-weight:bold;">Calories In Food</span><br /><br />Some people eat a lot of calories every day and don’t <br />even realize how many calories are in food. I had an <br />Aunt that got up to about 250 or 280, and I would see <br />her eating high calorie snacks and chips as she watched <br />television. She would gather several bags up around her <br />and turn the TV on.<br /><br />If you are going to lose weight, you need to eat <br />mindfully, being aware of calories in food.<br /><br />I suggest that you get your snack out if you have one, <br />and only get one handful, or half cup serving. Put it <br />in a bowl and eat it slowly, with your mind on it, <br />really enjoying it and realizing what you are doing.<br /><br />Don’t do it mindlessly watching a television show and <br />paying no attention to what you are eating.<br /><br />Many people do this, and don’t think they eat more than <br />anyone else does. You can consume a lot more <span style="font-weight:bold;">calories in <br />food</span> than you think if you are eating junk food and snack <br />food.<br /><br />You could keep a diary of all food intake. Start there <br />and for some it will be an eye opener. I mean if you have <br />a 10 oz. bag of chips and it is gone in one day... You <br />ate 10 servings of chips for the day! Your body cannot <br />help but turn all this excess carbohydrates into fat.<br /><br />Focus more on vegetables and some fruit each day for snacks. <br />This is conducive to good health as these have a vitamins <br />and minerals in them that the body recognizes and uses. They <br />are higher in water and give your body fiber, all needed <br />for good health.<br /><br />You don’t have to rush weight loss. You only need to reduce <br />your calorie intake by 100 calories per day to make a <br />substantial effect on your weight over the period of the <br />year. Learn to use and like your vegetables, get plenty <br />of water and some exercise.Jeannie Crabtree C.Acnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17290193.post-4251201340792353372008-02-02T15:32:00.000-08:002008-02-02T15:36:05.567-08:00Food Cravings And Sugar Cravings<span style="font-weight:bold;">Food Cravings and Sugar Cravings While On a <br />Weight Loss Plan</span><br /> <br />You have been on a weight loss plan for a bit and <br />then it hits - the food cravings and the sugar <br />cravings.<br /><br />You go shopping and load up your cart with the wrong <br />foods, or you go to somewhere and have two servings <br />of chocolate cake, when you know you should not be <br />eating any.<br /><br />Oh, oh, your food cravings just got the best of you. <br />Your weight loss plan bit the dust.<br /><br />Why does this happen?

Many people suffer <br />from lots of <span style="font-weight:bold;">stress</span>. <br /><br />Not only can stress make life uncomfortable but stress <br />can also increase health risks for heart disease, high <br />blood pressure and diabetes. <br /><br />It also can lead to stress eating - comforting yourself <br />or pushing your feelings down by eating. If you are <br />suffering from stress, here are some good tips.<br /><br />Stress comes in many different forms. There are actually <br />good types of stress that motivate people and inspire them <br />to be successful and then there is bad stress which most <br />of us experience.

If you are experiencing <br />stress then try the following.<br /><br />In order to properly carry out <span style="font-weight:bold;">stress management</span> be sure to<br />keep a journal to figure out where stress is actually <br />coming from. You might be surprised that your stress comes <br />from one or two activities such as commuting or rushing <br />home to cook dinner.<br /><br />Focusing on what causes stress can help you conquer it by <br />either adjusting your thinking, removing that specific <br />activity out of your life or taking steps to minimize the <br />activity.<br /><br />To change your state to a better one, you can use something <br />used by scientists and doctors for years - Brain Entrainment. <br />I use <span style="font-weight:bold;">brainwave entrainment</span> myself.

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) <br />addresses emotional eating at the level of the energy <br />meridian system (or Chi in Chinese Medicine). There <br />is no talk therapy involved, no drugs, no special <br />diets, and it often works when willpower fails.<br />EFT is modeled after acupuncture but doesn’t use <br />needles. Instead, one simply stimulates certain <br />meridian points by tapping on them with their <br />fingertips. In 80% of the cases immediate food <br />cravings subside in moments. Craig acknowledges, <br />“while this is not yet mainstream thinking, hundreds <br />of doctors, psychiatrists and psychotherapist are <br />using EFT to help their patients change their <br />relationships with food.”<br /><br />Craig reports, “I see repeatedly that emotional <br />issues like fear, anger, boredom, shame, and <br />resentment are the very centerpiece of someone’s <br />weight gain. But their emotional issues have <br />remained unresolved despite willpower and <br />conventional therapies. This is because their <br />energy meridian system (or Chi in Chinese Medicine) <br />has been disrupted by the emotional issues. Until<br />the energy system is balanced, the emotional eating <br />will continue.”<br /><br />In his book The Ultimate Weight Solution, Dr. Phil <br />McGraw’s top two “Keys to Permanent Weight Loss” <br />are 1) “Right Thinking” -- change your thinking; <br />and 2) “Healing Feelings.” McGraw offers extensive <br />information and advice for readers to analyze <br />themselves as well as exercises intended to help <br />readers take emotional control of their lives.<br /><br />Craig agrees that negative thoughts, feelings and <br />emotions are at the core of people’s weight <br />problems. But he maintains, “the energy disruption <br />caused by the unresolved emotional difficulties is<br />the missing link to actually changing your thinking <br />and healing your feelings permanently. When the <br />emotional issues are addressed at the energetic <br />level, the negative thoughts and obsessive behavior <br />regarding food disappears. There is no willpower <br />involved because the trigger emotions have been <br />resolved and the urge to overeat simply disappears <br />... usually permanently.”<br /><br />“Unsuccessful dieters fail because they are relying <br />on their willpower to quell the emotional turmoil <br />that is actually lodged in their energy systems”, <br />says Craig. “Exercises like journaling, and <br />meditation are great to help people connect to their <br />emotional pain, but EFT will help people to gently <br />extract their emotional pain from their system.”<br /><br />Dr. Carol Look, a Manhattan psychotherapist and EFT <br />Master Practitioner specializes in using EFT for weight <br />loss. One client, Ann, reported being overweight her <br />whole life and knew that her weight was contributing <br />to her back pain. While working with Dr. Look, Ann <br />recognized that she was using food to fill the emotional <br />emptiness of her childhood, to tranquilize the pain from <br />her back, and to fill the void of living with an <br />inattentive husband.<br /><br />After EFT treatment, her emotional drivers were <br />gone and Ann’s natural ability to lose weight <br />surfaced. She lost 25 pounds and reported that <br />her relationship with food changed significantly. <br />Her back pain improved as well. Ann said, “food <br />isn’t as central in my life anymore…I eat <br />moderately and am more conscious of when I’m full <br />and what I need.” She said that using EFT for her <br />pent-up frustrations and emptiness made all the <br />difference in her life to help her stop overeating <br />and care about her body and health. <br /><br />Over 225,000 people have downloaded Craig’s free <br />EFT training manual from the official EFT website. <br />It provides all the basics so anyone can begin using <br />it immediately.”<br /><br /><a href="http://www.emofree.com/AffiliateWiz/aw.aspx?A=66&Task=Click">Click here to pick up your Emotional Freedom <br />Techniques free training manual</a>. <br /><br />They also have CD’s with the whole system, and <br />classes recorded that I think is of great benefit. <br />Emotional Freedom Techniques is something you can <br />do for yourself at home or you can find a <br />professional to help you in some sessions.

When<br />you go on a crazy, fast weight loss diet, it messes<br />you up in a number of ways.<br /><br />Eat a balanced healthy diet. It's obviously good for<br />you, but will it help you lose weight? The answer is <br />yes, and here's why. When your body lacks ANY nutrient <br />in its daily intake, it tries to make up the difference <br />by substituting other nutrients.<br /><br />The result can be false messages that you're hungry, <br />when what your body really craves is enough of ONE <br />particular nutrient. Eating a balanced diet provides <br />all the nutrients your body needs in the proper <br />proportions so that it isn't telling you it's starving.<br /><br />Jeannie Crabtree C.Ac.<br /><br />Visit www.smartweightlossplan.com for <a href="http://www.smartweightlossplan.com/diet-ebooks/index.html">weight loss diets</a>,<a href="http://www.smartweightlossplan.com/diet-ebooks/index.html/diet-ebooks/index.html">weight loss plans.</a>Jeannie Crabtree C.Acnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17290193.post-64359384300498625912008-01-12T15:32:00.000-08:002008-01-17T16:25:05.363-08:00Cardiovascular ExercisesMany people who are attempting to lose weight are choosing<br />to do <span style="font-weight: bold;">cardiovascular exercises</span>.

Build up<br />to a regular routine of exercise rather than push yourself right<br />now.<br /><br />Stretching is an excellent way to do something light, that will<br />warm up your muscles and exercise them lightly.<br /><br />You can start with a Video like this and do well. Once you are<br />comfortable with stretching, then maybe step it up a bit to<br />walking, then move on and add other types of exercise.<br /><br />Stretching Exercises:<br /><br /><a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=E5cH8wdoPpA&offerid=30409.20830&type=2&subid=0"><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=healthdoccom-20&o=1&p=8&l=as1&asins=B00005N8AN&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe><br /></a><br /><br />Jeannie Crabtree C.Ac.Jeannie Crabtree C.Acnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17290193.post-69226958413626173072007-12-29T18:49:00.000-08:002008-01-17T16:28:33.716-08:00Walking Pedometer: Omron PedometerAre you using walking as part of your exercise weight loss routine?<br />If so, you ought to think of using a pedometer. I suggest looking at<br />Omron Digital Pedometer HJ-112<br /><br />A pedometer can tell you the distance that you have walked, so you<br />can keep track of how much exercise you are getting. Walking is not<br />as strenuous as some exercise routines, but you can lose 250 to 300<br />calories per hour just by walking at a normal pace.<br /><br />In addition, you can keep your Omron Digital Pedometer on all day<br />to clock in how many steps a day you are getting. 10,000 steps a day<br />is the suggested amount to make sure you are getting in a reasonable<br />amount of light exercise.

It is <br />extremely important if you want to gain overall muscle<br />tone and increase your energy level and stamina to <br />perform cardio exercises on a regular basis.<br /><br />Most people that work out usually start off with cardio <br />exercises such as a 20 minute jog or a few minutes on the <br />stair master. For people that are looking for low impact <br />exercises, there are many low impact exercises such as <br />walking and swimming that also focus on the cardio system.<br /><br />I was surprised when I read what Rob Poulos had to say:<br />"Typical cardio workouts can also lead to overuse injuries <br />in your lower body, muscle wasting from overtraining your <br />body, and reducing your cardiovascular system's (heart and <br />lungs especially) capacity for work, which decreases their <br />ability to handle stress of any type." <br /><br />Take a look at what he says. He suggests doing the opposite<br />of what most experts are saying, and he has lost 42 pounds.<br />Click here: <a href="http://pinetreeln.zthfitness.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=SMRTWT">Cardio Exercises And Weight Loss</a><br /><br />Jeannie Crabtree<br /><br />Visit www.smartweightlossplan.com for <a href="http://www.smartweightlossplan.com/diet-ebooks/index.html">weight loss diets</a>,<a href="http://www.smartweightlossplan.com/diet-ebooks/index.html/diet-ebooks/index.html">weight loss plans.</a>Jeannie Crabtree C.Acnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17290193.post-15125908334825212892007-10-04T14:34:00.000-07:002008-01-17T16:33:37.477-08:00Diet And Exercise<span style="font-weight:bold;">Diet and Exercise</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Diet Tip</span> - Yes, You Need Exercise<br /><br />Can't afford a gym membership?

Get into the <br />right mindset and it will be something you do for <br />yourself, instead of fighting with yourself as to <br />why you are dieting and whether you are going to <br />stick with it.<br /><br />It is scary to think that obesity is the second <br />cause of preventable deaths in the United States, <br />but that needs to be faced. Obese and overweight <br />people have a higher risk of becoming sick and <br />unhealthy, which can lead to definable disease <br />such as:<br /><br />Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, Heart Disease, <br />Sleep Apnea, some types of Cancer and Depression.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.smartweightlossplan.com/diet-ebooks/index.html">Click here to learn how to lose weight, working<br />with your metabolism</a><br /><br />People are often motivated by moving away from pain, <br />or moving toward something pleasurable. We have just <br />talked about the painful part – illness and disease.<br /><br />Now think about what will be pleasurable to you when <br />you have lost the excess weight and keep it off. Here <br />are four things to start your list:<br /><br />1. Your energy level. Many people report that as they <br />gain weight, they lose energy. Lose the weight, eating <br />better for good health, and your energy will increase.<br /><br />2. You look better and feel better about yourself.<br /><br />3. Your fitness level. Many people who are overweight <br />are not getting sufficient exercise. This means that <br />your muscles are flaccid and not used enough. Bring up <br />your fitness level through exercising, stretching and <br />walking and your body will thank you by burning more <br />calories and keeping excess weight off in the future.<br /><br />4. Aches and pains often clear up. You are not putting <br />so much stress and strain on your organs, low back, <br />ligaments, tendons and bones.<br /><br />So take the time to write it down and bring to your mind <br />what you are avoiding by losing weight and what you are <br />gaining at the same time. Then decide on your health <br />building, weight loss program and get started!

It is <br />about long term benefits.<br /><br />Here is just one to think about today: Weight loss <br />prevents high blood pressure, heart disease and <br />stroke. These may not bother you so much when you <br />are young, but as you get into middle age,more <br />and more people show up with these health problems.<br /><br />Did you know that heart disease and stroke are one <br />of the main reasons both for disability and death <br />in both men and women in the US? <br /><br />People who are overweight are at a higher risk to <br />have high levels of cholesterol in their blood <br />stream as well as triglycerides (also known as <br />blood fat). <br /><br />Sudden death also occurs from heart disease and <br />stroke, and usually this strikes with very little <br />warning, signs and symptoms.<br /><br />It is worth the effort to lose some weight - just <br />by decreasing your weight five to ten percent, <br />this could positively decrease the chances of you <br />having or developing heart disease or a stroke. <br /><br />In addition, how your heart functions would also <br />improve as well as your blood pressure, cholesterol <br />and triglyceride count will go down.<br /><br />Learn About <a href="http://www.smartweightlossplan.com/">Weight Loss Programs, Weight Loss Plans <br />And Exercise Equipment</a> at my website.<br /><br />Jeannie Crabtree C.Ac.Jeannie Crabtree C.Acnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17290193.post-39634694630263586822007-04-07T13:17:00.000-07:002008-01-17T16:40:50.810-08:00Stretch Your MusclesStretch Your Muscles<br /><br />You know, any kind of stretching is good as long as you <br />do not bounce, as this can lead to a muscle pull. <br /><br />Try to hold a slow, steady stretches for 15 to 20 seconds, <br />then relax and repeat your movement.

I suggest that <br />You never put a child on a weight loss diet without <br />first seeking Professional advice as this could affect <br />their growth. <br /><br />However there is a healthy way to encourage a child to <br />indirectly lose weight or maintain a healthy weight by <br />encouraging them to increase their physical activity and <br />make some important changes to their eating habits. <br /><br />To have better food choices you need to teach your child<br />that healthy eating tastes good and is fun. They are tempted<br />with fast foods and empty nutrition everywhere that they<br />turn.<br /><br />"Healthy Eating for Kids" is an ebook that I recommend as it<br />makes proper eating an adventure that children will enjoy. <br />If it tasted good and you called it Edible Forest or a Happy <br />Face Snack your child is likely to try it and find out they<br />loved it.
