Jillian Michaels: the Biggest Loser Could be You!

Jim Mackey asked:


Everyone knows that Jillian Michaels is the toughest trainer on NBC’s The Biggest Loser. She whipped every single one of the contestants in her team into the best shape they’d ever been in their lives. And now you can have put her expertise and tough love to work for you. Jillian has developed a weight loss program that will change your life using her triple threat approach to success: self, science, and sweat.

Self - Who are you losing weight for? A loved one? Society? Your friends? No, you are doing it for yourself. It’s your body and your health. Until you make the decision to lose weight for you, it will be hard to be successful. Jillian will teach you how to change your behaviors to finally reach your goals. You can develop clear, specific goals for yourself using the online daily message boards, chats, interactive weight tracker, and advice and inspiration from Jillian herself.

Science - Everyones metabolism is different. What works for your friends may not work for you when it comes to dieting. You have to find the combinations of foods that help you lose weight and keep it off. The Jillian Michaels Weight Loss Program website has hundreds of recipes, menus, and meal plans based on different body types. It also has information that can be customized for your metabolic rate and how it is affected by the foods you eat.

This diet works because it addresses three of the biggest reasons people have trouble losing weight. The self portion helps dieters learn new behaviors that change the way they live and eat. You can check online for message boards, chats with fellow participants, get advice from Jillian, and use the interactive weight tracker. A good portion of weight loss has less to do with willpower and more to do with science. The science section of Jillian’s plan will teach you how to eat right for your specific metabolism. The website arms you with recipes, menus, and food guides to help you shop, cook, and eat right for your body. And customized information about your metabolic rate shows you how it is affected by different foods.

Sweat - When it comes to losing weight, diet is not enough. As everyone has seen on The Biggest Loser, you lose a lot more weight by working out. Online you can access exercises you can do from home, fun cardio routines, and a muscle manual that helps you target specific muscles during your workouts. There’s even an online fitness diary so you can track your fitness levels over time.

Dieting and Weight Loss, a Safe Method

Posted on 02. Apr, 2009 by admin.

Leo D Pierson, Jr. asked:


many times have you or someone you know lost weight only to gain it back? The real key to dieting is therefore to eliminate the bottom of the food chain, sugar and simple carbohydrates, thus forcing our bodies to utilize the complex carbohydrates, protein, and fat that we consume. Our bodies then begin to operate as they were meant to operate.

To lose a pound of weight you have to burn 3,000 calories. When we fail to address the mental component of our weight struggles before starting a diet, we’re in fact skipping the most important part. Some believe being chronically overweight is a result of our identity. Most weight is related to something or someone that needs to be confronted and dealt with. Balance is key to any good plan.

Crash dieting is unhealthy. Bob Greene, Oprah Winfrey’s personal trainer says dieting is about changing your life, not only with how the body works, but also how the mind works. In his new NY Times bestselling book “The Best Life Diet” he emphasizes the need to understand and improve the emotional relationship with eating and food.

The reason for dieting is as important as the method used to lose the weight.

When we fail to address the mental component of our weight struggles before starting a diet, we’re in fact skipping the most important part. Being chronically overweight is a result of our identity. Most weight is related to something or someone that needs to be confronted and dealt with. Balance is key to any good plan.

Dieting is good for dropping the pounds, but dieting alone is unlikely to bring you the body of your dreams. You should also keep in mind that exercising and ramping up your fitness routine is a great way to renew your dedication to the process and your enthusiasm.

Maintaining a stable metabolism is very important for losing weight and eating frequent healthy meals produces consistent energy.

The secret to burning body fat to get to your ideal weight is that you must eat and exercise right or it simply won’t happen. Would a program that’s designed to help someone lose weight quickly work as efficiently to help someone lose weight at a slow, natural pace? You’ve guessed right. As with any weight loss you need to be a strict disciplinarian and strict to your goals.

The reason dieting is such hard work however, is what trips up the most dedicated efforts to lose weight. The number one reason dieting requires so much energy is because of the internal conflict that accompanies most weight loss attempts.

That’s what causes yo-yo dieting. I wouldn’t put too much stock in temporary weight reductions induced for food restrictions. So, low-carb dieting is just what it sounds like — you can eat protein and fat, but you must limit the amount of carbohydrates you eat.

But dieting is not without risks, especially in an age when so many fad diets clamor for attention. The desire to lose weight rapidly can lead to health problems that outweigh the benefits of dieting.

Instead of dieting, weight management is a better approach. Not only are you more likely to accomplish your weight loss goals you are more likely to maintain your eating habits.

The best way to approach dieting is to eat a balanced diet with vegetables, fruits, legumes, grains, lean meat and fish and if tolerated, low fat dairy but only in the amount needed to maintain one’s normal weight.

So, for a person who is 250 pounds but normally should be 150 pounds, the best approach is to eat a balanced diet for a 150-pound person. The discomfort of dieting is most often cited by failed dieters as the reason for discontinuing their diet.

Thus, it makes sense that curbing the appetite may be the best way to promote a successful weight loss regimen. The hardest part about dieting is the lost pounds that seem to magically reappear once the diet is over. One of the reasons people experience this dreaded rebound weight gain is because of lost muscle tissue.

Tina Bardo asked:


Who else has questions about losing weight on the medifast (or any other diet)? The simple truth is that MANY of us have spent the holiday season collecting great memories, sharing funny ( and occasionally stressful) stories AND packing on the pounds to boot! And who can blame you, right? In MY household, saying NO to another serving is a big taboo….and one of the biggest reasons almost EVERYONE in my extended family begins the new year with one BIG resolution: Lose weight! So if you find yourself in the same boat…..let’s look at few common questions about how Medifast can give you BACK the beautiful body you deserve, and do it in a hurry!

How Does Medifast Work?

Very simple. You are going to eat 6 meals a day, 5 of them are going to be low calorie meal replacement selections, and one of them is going to be a lean and green meal of your own creation.

Is Medifast Low Calorie?

Yes, it is. Anywhere from 800 (on the low end) to 1300 depending on how strictly you follow it, and what you eat for your lean and green selection.

How Much Weight Can I Lose on Medifast?

A lot! Some folks have lost WELL over 100 pounds on the program, and in clinical studies, the AVERAGE weight loss, in a controlled environment was OVER 50 pounds for women, an 60 pounds for men! Wow is right!

Is Medifast Expensive?

No, it’s not. About 10 bucks a day. What’s expensive is being overweight..:-) Medifast is actually quite a low cost investment in yourself, your family and your future….ALL rolled up in a tasty package!

Why "slim Shots" Should be Part of Your Weight Loss Program

Posted on 31. Mar, 2009 by admin.

Brian Jenkins asked:


itionists and doctors believe that the best way to lose weight is by eating the proper proportions of a healthy, nutritious diet combined with moderate, regular exercise. Even though this information is well-known to a majority of the public, it has not stopped people from looking for shortcuts to losing weight.

Miracle weight loss cures are a multi-billion dollar industry in the United States and worldwide as well. While most of these miracle pills and cures will not take off weight by themselves, there are some extremely effective products that can help you take off weight quicker and keep you healthier while you do it. Slim Shots is, simply put, one of the best weight loss products on the market today.

Unlike products that promise instant weight loss with no effort on your part, Slim Shots are a supplement, not only to your diet, but to your weight loss efforts. Taken as part of your daily routine while you lose weight, Slim Shots will help you eat less by stimulating your body’s natural appetite mechanism, so that you eat less and feel full longer without making you feel jittery, nervous or uncomfortable.

What are Slim Shots?

Slim Shots are a pleasant tasting vanilla liquid that you take each day to help control your appetite. The company recommends that you take two shots a day for the first week, then one shot a day thereafter to help you eat less. When you eat less, you lose weight. It’s that simple.

What’s in Slim Shots?

Slim Shots contains two main active ingredients, palm oil and oat oil, along with artificial sweetener and vanilla flavor, mixed with water to form an emulsion. There’s nothing in there to make you nervous or stimulate your heart rate, two of the main concerns with most appetite suppressants.

How does it work?

Slim Shots are not a magic bullet. There is nothing magical about the mechanism at work here. It’s all simple science. Your body takes longer to process fats than it does to process carbohydrates. While your body is digesting foods, you feel full. As long as you feel full, you’re not likely to eat more food. Slim Shots contains two fats, palm oil and oat oil which take a long time for your body to process. Because you feel full while your body is breaking down the fat, you will eat less and lose weight.

Why is Slim Shots better than other appetite suppressants?

Most appetite suppressants on the market today contain stimulants like caffeine or guarana. It should be noted that stimulants can be dangerous and habit-forming. Slim Shots is not habit forming, and do not present any dangers for those who should avoid stimulants. If you have a heart condition or high blood pressure, caffeine and other stimulant products can cause dangerous conditions. Slim Shots does not interact with any other medications or medical conditions, making it far safer than other appetite suppressants on the market.

What about cholesterol?

One of the concerns that have been raised about Slim Shots is that they contain palm oil and oat oil, both saturated fats. While most saturated fats raise cholesterol, there is some evidence in studies that palm oil does not. The fat in palm oil is plant oil, a tri-glyceride that is not implicated in raising cholesterol. All the evidence is not in, but most experts agree that in the amounts taken in Slim Shots, there is no concern about raising cholesterol.

Good news about Slim Shots

Slim Shots works using a completely natural mechanism that triggers your body’s natural appetite control system.

Slim Shots only have 20 calories per shot. That’s less than a couple of potato chips.

Slim Shots are not habit forming.

They contain no dangerous drugs or stimulants.

In clinical studies, the active ingredient combination in Slim Shots has helped people eat up to 30% less than they would without Slim Shots.

You eat less because you don’t feel hungry.

How should Slim Shots be used?

You should take Slim Shots in conjunction with a healthy, well-balanced diet that contains all your important nutrients. For the first week, take two Slim Shots a day to help your body adjust, then cut back to one Slim Shot a day until you lose all the weight that you want to lose.

What else does Slim Shots recommend to help you lose weight?

Slim Shots recommends that you eat a balanced, portion-controlled diet in conjunction with moderate exercise to help you lose weight. Slim Shots can be used in conjunction with any diet or weight loss effort, so it makes sense to choose one that is nutritionally sound and helps you readjust your eating habits to maintain a healthy weight and lifestyle even after you stop using Slim Shots.

What Are The Advantages Of The Medifast Diet ?

Posted on 31. Mar, 2009 by admin.

Ken Black asked:


There are all kinds of ways to lose weight, including diet pills, fitness clubs and weight loss programs and diets.

If you are one of those people who have tried every method of losing weight under the sun, consider the benefits of the MediFast diet, a healthy new diet product on the market that is designed to help you quickly shed pounds the safe and wholesome way. If you are looking at it right now, or have ever considered it, or even if you are looking at some other type of diet to help you with your weight loss needs, consider the three benefits this regimen has when you’re trying to lose weight.

1. The MediFast Diet is Convenient

This weight loss program is convenient. You never have to worry about counting up points or checking the labels of your food for their carbohydrate content. And, you don’t have to count points, pop pills, or drink tea either. This diet helps you lose weight by doing what you know how to do best - eat! The MediFast diet isn’t the type of diet that requires one to sit down to a meal every night.

If you are on the go, it is okay for you to be on the go because MediFast has a variety of things that the diet allows you to choose from, from snack bars, to puddings, and soups. There is no need to have to kill yourself with the temptation that grocery shopping can bring, as the MediFast diet doesn’t require you to ever have to set foot in the grocery store.

2. You’ll Never Be Hungry Again

MediFast is not one of those programs that cause you to be constantly starving. These diets don’t work for people simply because they cause them to work against what feels natural for them. Their body is telling them that it is hungry and needs food to fuel itself, and certain diets have you ignoring this impulse.

You will be happy to know that you can eat not twice, not three times, but five times a day. The diet helps to constantly fuel your body so that it can effectively and efficiently burn calories and fat, helping you to lose weight faster and easier.

3. The MediFast Diet is Healthy

There are a lot of diet options out there for a person to choose from when they are looking at their weight loss options, and the MediFast diet is just one of them. The thing that sets this diet apart from the rest is the fact that it makes you eat and put nutrients into your body rather than depriving your body of the all-important nutrients that are required to help the body operate efficiently and burn fat efficiently.

There are no foreign chemicals that you are ingesting into your body to help the body to burn off fat that you have to worry about being recalled later. The MediFast diet is all about You. It is about real food, safe food that is good for your body and helps to keep you nourished and healthy.

This weight loss program is a great diet option for people who need something different to spur their weight loss. If you are having a hard time losing weight or you have reached a weight loss plateau, consider the benefits of the MediFast Diet for yourself today.
