Tips and Guides on Losing Weight
If You have spent some time on the internet searching on how to lose weight, I would like to provide you with some tips. Trying a sample in assisting you to lose weight is a great no risk way to see what will suite you. But I also want to share some helpful tips that will most definitely get you started on losing weight before you even buy, try or start a weight loss program. Right now so many people are suffering not only from self esteem and body image issues leading to self depression and also people are aware that as a result of being overweight, is either already having an effect on their health or leading to health issues. You may already be in one of the above categories, you may have already tried so many different things, you may have already been on or heard of certain products, however, due to not knowing some real simple things and having an awareness of some of the things I am going to share here with you, you may have failed in the past. You may have lost motivation and although you have a weight loss suggestion or sample in front of you because of fear of failure again you put the items on the back burner. You know, everyone and everything around you changes and gets better, when you feel better about yourself and my purpose here is to have you put yourself first and give you that inspiration, desire and motivation and start giving you vision of light at the end of the tunnel.
So, let me introduce my self to you first. My name is Fiona Miffling and I live in Bunbury WA. I am 36 yrs young; I am slimmer, healthier and happier than ever before not to mention I have energy to burn. With what I will reveal below, I do not think this is a matter of good luck, I truly do believe it is a matter of keeping weight and health under control with some good basic nutrition and a little basic common sense knowledge.
You know there is nothing complex about weight loss, there really is not. It’s as simple as calories in ….calories out. Yes, that does include metabolism and some people say you really need to do exercise to increase the metabolism, and this is true. But, it does come down to the 2 things, calories and exercise. Don’t get turned off here, when the word exercise is mentioned…..I’m going to show you and turn your mind around with the word “exercise”.
Most people don’t exercise or turn their mind off exercise because immediately the mind goes to “time for exercise” or exercise is only a formal thing…..and here in lies the mistake. “Exercise” is merely “movement of the body” . It is not a formal thing, valid only if you take 30 minutes of your day at the gym or running, or doing weights. Let me explain, exercise can be as simple as…..if you live in a 2 story house…..consciously remembering to run….or at least start by walking faster…. up the stairs than you normally do now. Think about that for a moment, and if you do live in a 2 story house….imagine the increased movement of the body, which will equal exercise and increased metabolism just moving faster up those stairs (something you do anyway)?? Have I started getting you thinking about exercise slightly differently yet?? What if you do not have a 2 story house…..Well, is there from one end of your house to another (ie bedroom to kitchen) that there is space…..how about when going from one place to another (how many times do you do this in a day??)…..you move between these spaces faster…..again, just start moving faster to start…..then perhaps add in a little trot. Do you know it is just a matter of how we think about things and becoming aware and it is amazing how much more we can increase our movement of body just along side what we already do in a day. Another little tip I give people…..Do you have a shower every day??? Do you brush you teeth every day?? Aren’t these things daily habit?? When you brush you teeth, do you do it over a hand basin?? What about if you just stop for a moment before you brush your teeth….place your hands on the basin and do 10 push ups standing there against the basin…..now that would only take 1 or 2 minutes…..brush your teeth…..and repeat the same….just another 10 push ups & 1 or 2 minutes…..there you go you have just done 20 push ups along side brushing your teeth and it only took an extra 2 to 4 minutes. Do this consistently and you will start to see a result in your arms and again its body movement and contributing to that thing called exercise and metabolism. While your in the bathroom…..mmmm that bath tub edge has a use to and again not even 1 minute before a shower to use the edge of the bath tub to do bench sits….10 after shower….it’s all just awareness and understanding every little bit helps and its all exercise and it only takes a minute here and there…but if you make it as much a habit as brushing your teeth or taking a shower …..guess what…results start to show. Oh and while your doing all these things in the bathroom…..make a conscious effort to hold in your tummy…that way your working your tummy as well…..strong abs and getting them is not just about sit ups. Hope that’s helped in the exercise department and has you starting to think and opening up your imagination.
Let’s now move onto calories. I bet you didn’t know….that if you just reduce your calorie intake by 500 calories a day to what you are eating now….that you would lose about 1/2 to 1 kilo a week……this is absolutely true and correct. Don’t believe me….try it. And again, this is where people mentally fail losing weight before they even get started. They think they have to reduce all this food intake or completely change their diet and it all seems so hard……No, it means if you eat 2500 calories now, you just reduce by 500 calories a day, meaning you are still going to eat 2000 calories a day…..you will lose 1 kilo a week…..Now doesn’t that sound more encouraging, particularly for people that have a lot of weight to lose. Let’s face it 2000 calories is still a lot of food. Will you continue to lose a kilo a week eating 2000 calories??? Well, there will come a time that the body does plateau at that calorie intake and when the weight loss plateau’s then this is the time that you decrease another 500 calories per day…..however, it is not going be as hard at this point as it would be if you tried to drop 1000 calories right at the beginning. For a start your stomach will have shrunk, your habits will have changed and mentally it has not been a dramatic change so off course it is easier will power wise, to go gradually like this. So, to get started somewhere right now the first thing you have to do, is just start being aware of what and how many calories are you eating now, once you know this, then you can start to see where you can cut back to achieve cutting back 500 calories. Important point here…..make sure you include drinks you have in a day as well. For eg: full strength coke….has hundreds of calories per can…..diet coke has less than 20 odd……see it’s that simple to cut back 500 cals….just switching from full strength to diet. Same with juices to diet drinks. People have opinions on this “diet drink” stuff but hey at the end of the day…..water really would be the best thing with zero calories…but again, lets go back to seeing why you are overweight and look at just the little bit of extra knowledge you have here right now which has probably already inspired you more than when you got this email and I bet you can already see yourself losing weight rather than building on those bad health issues and see, if the diet drink helps you start losing weight and getting you balanced….then you have a better chance of getting more in control and even progressing to water down the track, cutting back or even cutting out diet drinks….and the diet drinks wont be an issue. I hope that all the above information and tips on calories has really inspired and motivated you to see that you really can lose weight and it really can be simple and permanent and you can get control without it being daunting.
Now that I have given you some inspiring tips that take the mystery out of weight loss, you might say “yes well it still isn’t that easy. I can cut back and all but I still don’t feel good” or you might “feel irritable” or “I still crave certain types of foods, or I still get hungry”. Well, here is the answer to this. When you’ve put a lot of junk into your body or eaten too much to the point that you are overweight…..then I hate to tell you this, but your body is insufficient of proper nutrients, and your body is actually starving. Irony isn’t it….people think it’s only those starving kids in Africa that are starving and dying…but you know the biggest people in the world, their body’s are starving tooo….which is why they are so sick with so many health issues. The only way you can get balance and health in your body is to get good balanced nutrition into your body. And, it is true, this day and age unfortunately good food does cost more than bad food.
Here is another tip. Did you know that the best weight loss you can have is centimetre/clothes size reduction greater than weight on scale reduction? This is the only measure that a weight loss program you are on is not only a very good weight loss programme but is also the healthiest for you and meaning you will keep your weight off. Why is this you might ask?? Well, a great weight loss is where you are losing body fat and NOT muscle……and because fat weighs less than muscle….(to give you an idea….hold a plastic bottle of oil in one hand and a lean chunky steak in another and feel the difference of weight). So, you see you don’t have to be a mathematician to work out if you are on a good weight loss program, you want to be losing far more in centimetres and clothes size than the number you see on that scale. When you see this, you know you are on a winner and only losing body fat……you don’t want to be left saggy, do you….”saggy” happens when you are losing muscle as well as fat. Actually, again it is said now, it is normal that 3kilo loss equals 1 dress size loss…..yes you read it right…this is not a misprint here. I tell you this because the biggest sabotage of anyone’s weight loss is not seemingly seeing results, throwing hands up in the air and saying what the heck this isn’t working…..right??? You need to be informed in all these areas so you know what is going on and know what to focus on….throw out the scales….they tell you lies. Try on the clothes that are tight and start to see the real, healthy weight loss. And, besides, when you’ve lost weight in the past….haven’t people commented??? Now they didn’t say to you……”wow, I can see you’ve lost 2kilo’s” ….have they??? No, off course not, they see it in your face, in your size just by looking at you because you have shrunk…..you have to see your weight loss this way too and too often we only measure our results by that silly number on that silly scale that constantly is telling us lies.
How now do you ensure that you will be on a weight loss programme that will ensure that you only lose body fat and not muscle…..Well, you’ve probably heard of getting a good balance of protein in your diet. The reason protein is so good in your diet is because it also works as a great appetite satisfier and it feeds muscle. The more muscle mass you have the better your metabolism, the better your metabolism the more fat you burn…so you can clearly see “protein” is a must to a diet whether you need to lose weight or not , or to maintain healthy weight…..however, how to get the protein benefit without eating too much fat and calories?? and off course too much animal protein which can be heavy on your organs to digest, hence creating another problem? Science has now found that “pure” soy protein is the most efficiently digested protein that not only feeds muscle, but also is absorbed by the body and not left to be a burden on your organs. Now, I know there has also been a lot of controversy over soy protein, and if you do just a little research, beyond what the media says, which is always out of context……There certainly is “good” and “bad” soy. Question: How do you make sure you have good soy…..well, the best way is to leave it up to the experts that do all the testing which are the scientists and doctors and which they recommend and off course do your own research on the web.
Now this is where I come into it with my “free samples”. A way where you can ensure, you are getting nutrition (in perfect balance), you are getting the best “good” soy protein, not just because I say so…but because it is developed and recommended by doctors and scientists. Just do a search and look up some of these doctors…. Dr. David Heber (UCLA), Dr Louise Ignaro (nobel prize winner), Dr. Luigi Gratton…..yes these are the doctors behind our product…..so our product definitely is “good” soy. A nobel prize winner, in the nutrition field is not going to compromise his reputation, that’s for sure. Not only will you only lose body fat with our programme but you will feed lean muscle, (no sagging). Also it will be so incredibly easy to cut back on those 500 calories a day because your appetite is controlled, you will probably cut back on more than 500 calories per day…with out even thinking about it….meaning fat loss faster per week equals shrinking faster. You will get samples for 2 meals….just so you can see how it works in 1 day. Yes, the product does work that fast….protein curbs the appetite…just take it when you get it and see….Off course we want it to taste good too, so we will enclose a DVD….which will give you lots of information about the product…but be sure before you make you sample drink you watch at least the section 4 of the DVD….there it actually shows you how to make a delicious drink real easy and quick, so yes it will taste great. We will also enclose a satchel of Herbal Green Tea. We have all heard the benefits of “green tea” our particular one helps with the metabolism…..you just add those few little exercise/ “body movement” tips from above and you certainly wont have that sluggish metabolism problem and again, the weight loss is going to zoooom for you.
You may say….”I knew there was going to be a catch”…..she is going to sell me something…..sounds great but how much is it all….oh and by the way what is the product called.
# 1…. I hope I have not just tried to “sell” you something without giving you some valuable (including the sample) the reason I have done this is to prove to you, that I do care about you more than just selling something….and second….when you get on our program you don’t just pay the money and that is it….you get me as a personal coach too. I am here to guide you, inspire you, motivate you and hopefully with the information I have already given you, you will see I do have knowledge about practical weight loss that I can further help you with along side your weight loss. My personal coaching comes free with the programme.
# 2…..The product is manufactured by Herbalife International…..I don’t want to hide that, why would I with the best of the best scientists, doctors and Nobel Prize winners involved in putting our products together.
# 3…..The cost. With the information I give below, you want to consider this with whatever product you try What I will tell you and absolutely guarantee you is, there will be no cost….I mean it. Yes, there will be a price on products to purchase up front….however, what I mean by “no cost” is just that….once you start on our minimum programme…..it works out to $8.63 per day for 2 meals per day for 30 days….now that’s about $4.30 per meal. And let me show you now how I can guarantee you that you will not have a cost on this and in fact you will save even more money while you’re on our programme to spend on other things. You would have to agree that food costs money….if you know where you can get food for free…then please let me know immediately. We talked about calories earlier on…..well I can tell you a big mac meal from McDonald’s….burger, chips and drink is about $7.00 and it is 1155 cals….that’s with full strength coke. Go with me here…..I need you to see how much money you are actually spending on food to keep your weight ON. Whether you want to hear this or not….it really is the truth. Whether you like McDonalds or not, whether you eat it or not….it still is a great example….because if this is not what you are having, then you are having something similar. If a big mac Meal is all that you ate in a day and you put nothing else in your mouth….then guess what??? as per the calorie information I gave you above…you would have to agree you would lose weight…right…..and you would actually lose weight fast….you would also however, be spending just $7.00 a day on food….correct…that’s $49.00 dollars a week….wow, not a lot of money on a food budget. Now, here is the big question for you……could you do this, in all honesty right now…..would you only be eating the equivalent of 1 big mac meal a day and that is it?? Well, if you are honest with yourself….then your answer would have to be… no…off course. Mathematically, for you to be overweight, you would have to be eating more than this a day…..and off course eating more equals costing more in food….Now, good food is more expensive….however, all food good and bad costs money….and the reality is you are spending a lot of money on food…to keep you overweight…..So, if you think about it, it really does not take much for me to guarantee that while using our program….it is replacing your existing food and is also curbing your appetite so you further reduce on food intake….it really is impossible that while you use our program that you will not cut back on money spent on food that has kept you overweight. Once you decide to get started….we will talk and see which programme will suit you best to get started on to get you going.
