The worst way to lose weight

Unfortunately, the worst way to lose weight is also the most common. Don’t make the same mistakes. Muscle loss…horrible food cravings…metabolic damage…depression…All this and more is possible when you do all the wrong things to lose weight. We all know someone that has used these terrible weight loss methods, and maybe even have tried a few ourselves. I want to share with you how to lose weight in the worst possible way, explain why it’s the worst, and help you understand what to do instead. Step 1: Eat less and starve (Severely restrict your calories) To lose weight very quickly, and unhealthily, you should severely restrict your caloric intake. (In case you don’t know, a calorie is simply a measurement of energy in food.) Why is this bad, you ask?…...

10 tips to lose belly fat

Flat Tummy Mania "Hi Lavleen." "Hello, how are you today?" "Good dear, but ye nahi ja raha...look at my belly, its so loose and bulky! Its just this part which I need to get flat. Rest of my body is perfect." (picking up flab and then pointing to the saddle bags) So many of us can empathize with what this lady is saying. Most of us want a flat stomach (I know I do).

Myth – Diets don’t work

Are you the one who believe that diets do not work? Read on... Fact Ultimately, if you take less calories than you need, your body will start to use up the stored fat to get the extra calories it needs to function properly. This will gradually result in weight loss. My advice is to follow a moderately restricted diet instead of a crash diet that bans your favorite foods and leave you feeling hungry. Commitment, discipline and motivation works BUT you are more likely to give up if you follow a diet with too many restrictions and you will end up saying that the diet didn't work.

Why can’t women lose weight like men

Nutrition expert (Dietitian, Chandigarh) shares some of the interesting weight loss facts:- 1. Metabolic rate of women is slower than that of men, lucky them! 2. A female body is more prone to hormonal imbalances; which restrict weight loss making the metabolism even slower. Lucky them again! 3. A female’s body prepares itself for menstruation, pregnancy and menopause and during these stages hormones play a major role. This restricts weight loss. A man’s body doesn't go through any of these, of-course you know, hence easier for them to lose weight. 4. Research has proven that stress levels in women are higher than that in men. Researchers however did not comment on the fact that men are the primary reason for this stress ; ) and we all know stress and…...
