Slim Fast Diet

On 10.21.09, In Diet, By WL4Ladies

The Slim Fast Diet has been around for nearly three decades, and has helped many women and also men lose weight and stay full longer with their substitute meal shakes and bars, which now come in a wide variety of flavors beyond the typical chocolate and vanilla. Slim Fast has always been a popular diet for ladies, but was often criticized for being too high in sugar. Plus, with the advent of the Atkins diet, its popularity diminished substantially.

However, the shakes have been re-designed with Splenda (the verdict is still out on the safety of this artificial sweetener), and now there is a whole new line of products for people’s enjoyment, known as Optima.

In addition to shakes, the Slim Fast Diet offers a full range of meal replacement bars, smoothies, and powders that people can use to help lose weight and burn more calories than just dieting and eating healthier. For those who are looking to eat less and lose more, the Slim Fast meal replacement products can be a convenient and easy solution to give them exactly what they need. However, nothing really replaces eating fresh fruits and vegetables.

The new Optima diet works by replacing two daily meals with Slim Fast products, and then having a fruit or vegetable snack. Then, the actual meal of the day is made up of lean protein, carbs, and a large serving of veggies to give people the vitamins and fiber that they need.

Lose Weight With Fat Burning Exercises

On 10.20.09, In Fitness, By WL4Ladies

Fat burning exercises need to maximize the use of all or most of your muscular groups in order to be effective. If you use your entire body, you are going to burn more fat than someone who only works out one part of their body or another. Exercise machines like elliptical trainers that move both your arms and legs are the best. And if you walk or like to jog, make sure you are swinging your arms while exercising.

Of course, a healthy diet can help in this quest for fat loss as well. You will want to avoid high fat foods such as red meats and eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. That means fruits and vegetables from the produce section of your grocery store, not from a can. Eating right will give you a better advantage in your fat loss, but you need to be exercising with things like treadmills and elliptical trainers in order to get the best results.

If you continue to consume the same amount of calories and you aren’t burning them off, you will simply end up putting on more pounds, rather than losing any. In order to get the most from fat burning exercises, you need to be able to work off more calories than you consume, because this will help you to lose fat and weight.

Exercise alone won’t burn fat. Eating healthy isn’t going to make you skinny all by itself. You need a combination of a healthy diet with the right exercises in order to burn fat like you want to. This combination method will definitely help you burn more fat than diet or exercise alone.

Fat Burning Exercises

On 10.20.09, In Fitness, By WL4Ladies

Fat burning exercises are aerobic, steady exercises that involve using a lot of the muscles within the body and exercising for longer periods of time than lifting weights for instance. Instead of short, high-intensity workouts, you need to focus on things like walking, jogging, cycling, running, swimming, and elliptical workouts to burn the most fat.

Ultimately, the more muscles your body is using, the more fat you will be burning. When it comes to effectively burning fat, a slower pace for a longer time period is far more effective than high intensity workouts for shorter periods of time.

What happens is as your body is doing these fat burning exercises, your metabolism will increase because you are using more muscles than a concentrated iron pumping exercise, and you will continue to burn calories long after you’ve completed your workout. Twenty minutes of these exercises will get the fat burning enzymes working, and anything beyond that just serves to burn more fat than before.

If you are just starting out on your fat loss journey, begin with 20 minutes a day, and work up from there until you are exercising for an hour or two every day, depending on your fat loss needs and goals. Start out with three days a week as a goal, and try to get to an everyday routine as you go along and become more physically fit.

Lose Weight By Walking

On 10.19.09, In Fitness, By WL4Ladies

If you’re currently doing nothing, walking for weight loss is a good start. When your body is used to zero activity, giving it that little bit of exercise can make a big difference. As you become more accustomed to walking you may need to do more of it, pick up the pace, or try different exercises to keep your body improving. However, it’s still a great starting ground for your exercise needs.

A 150 pound woman exercising at moderate intensity (a brisk pace) for 30 minutes burns about 160 calories. That means that if you walk for an hour or two a day, you can burn a lot of calories just by doing something simple like putting one foot in front of the other for an extended period of time. If you walk faster, or even get to a point where you can jog, the results will only get better as long as you are consistent with your efforts.

When you’re walking for weight loss, try not to let yourself get bored. Listen to some music, take a friend with you, or visit a local park or a new walking path so that you’re always interested. With iPods being so popular it is easy to load it up with your favorite music and head off on your walk or jog and forget about the fact that you are engaging in real exercise.

The main reason that people give up on exercise and weight loss is because they get bored or lose interest. If you’ve got the shoes and the motivation, walking can definitely give you a good option for exercise that isn’t time consuming or tedious at all. And remember, it costs almost nothing and you can lose weight in the process. Now, let’s get started doing some walking.
