New Tricks

Here's a trick that draws on positive reinforcement to quash your cravings before they propel you into the danger zone. Post on your fridge a smashing photo of yourself, a picture of your sweetie or even a postcard of your favorite, bikini-worthy vacation destination. When you wander over to the kitchen, you'll find a full-color reminder to be your best self -- one that generates plenty of (nonedible) food for thought. Aruba, anyone?

Add Muscles Today

Exercise regularly to keep fit. Its important to add muscle to your body simplt because muscle burns up calories 18 times faster then fat does on your body. So as you add more muscle, your metabolism is increased and you can burn off more calories per day. You can walk, jog or run up the stairs. Just do it.

Plan Your Meals

Plan ahead - the fast food industry banks on people's need for food on the go...if you take the time to prepare your breakfast, lunch and dinner, you become a little more in control of your daily caloric intake. While you can eat at fast food places, most of the menu is off limits to you...if you are going to a fast food place, know what foods are okay for you to eat, know how many calories are in the food, how many grams of fat, etc. Don't just assume that this sandwich that you get will be a certain number of calories...its important that you know the exact amount of calories. Also, if you are going to a restaurant, think ahead of what you want to eat there...remove that temptation and stick to exactly what you planned on eating before going to the restaurant.

Eat To Live...

Eat to live, don't live to eat. Yes, I've always hated when someone said that statement to me, but in truth, its an important lesson to learn. The reasons we eat certain foods or indulge in certain junk foods is often far from being hungry. Some people eat to comfort themselves, some people eat for the pleasure of eating, the taste, texture, etc, but you really have to ask yourself, what should be the function of food in my life. You want to shift the focus of food as entertainment to food being what fuels your body...too much is bad and your body won't function properly. Changing your attitude towards food is important if you want to succeed in any diet.

Take Smaller Meals

Try to take smaller meals throughout the day rather then larger meals. If you eat smaller meals throughout the day, your metabolism will stay at a higher rate and you won't feel as hungry throughout the day.
Just having all your calories at one sitting will doom you to that hungry feeling and if you have that hungry feeling you'll be a little more apt to break your diet. If you have a series of smaller meals, you'll be able to feel slightly full at different moments of the day. There will be less time you have to "do without" and you'll feel better for it. Your body will also process smaller meals better and subsequently burn off the calories quicker.

Daily Exercises Tips

Walk 10 Minutes a Day and Increase Your Fitness Level. Old thinking was to work out in a sweat-filled gym for hours a day. No pain, no gain. New studies show that even short bouts of activity can increase your fitness level, especially if you're new at working out.

Park and Walk. Whenever you have an errand, park your car as far away as you can handle and walk to the store. At the mall, park at the farthest end and walk the length of the mall. Use every opportunity to walk. At the end of the day, it all adds up to better fitness.

Crunch in Bed. Before you even get out of bed in the morning, do 10 stomach crunches while lying flat on your mattress. Increase daily by one until you get up to 100. Think you'll never get there? Try it. You may eventually have to set your clock to wake up 15 minutes earlier, a small price to pay for a flatter stomach.

Make Healthier Choices

Variety may be the spice of life, but it also can be the downfall of a good diet. When doing your daily or weekly grocery shopping, refrain from buying junk food or foods that are bad for you. It makes it that much harder for you to break your diet on the spur of the moment. For a very simple reason, its much harder to resist the temptation of a chocolate bar if its sitting right in front of you. Yummy!!! Buy food that are of low calories and look out for a healthier choice signs on the food pack in any. Some food manufacturers practice this method in encouraging consumer's to make the healthier choice.

Remember to remove unnecessary temptations. If you only have healthy foods in the house and low calorie foods, then it would be that much harder to break your diet.

Drink Lots of Water

Eight, 8 oz. glasses of water everyday...this is a common diet tip and most people know this, yet they still don't drink enough water during the day. There are some very important reasons for drinking water, first off, its zero calorie, zero chemical, zero caffeine, and the ideal thing to curb your appetite. Drinking water will flush out the bad toxins in your body, will get your kidney's working, and even help your metabolism speed up a little.

Drinking water also takes up space in your stomach, it reduces the cravings just a bit, and will make you feel a little more full when you do eat your calories for the day. If you want an added benefit from water, make sure you drink cold water, this will speed up your metabolism a bit and make you burn up a few extra calories. Remember that when you are losing weight, the fat that you are losing sometimes has stored toxins in it, drinking water will help
flush out those toxins.

Losing Weight Healthily

When it comes to losing weight, almost everyone who is fat or obese wants fast results. The fact is there is no short cut to success in everything and that includes losing weight. A personal friend of mine who is a nutrionist gives me some tips when starting a diet programme.

1) Set a goal of your ideal weight.
2) Do not starve yourself.
3) Reduce the daily meals gradually. Cut away 1/5 or 1/4 you usually eat.
4) Replace your junk meals with a balance meals with vegetables, fruits, etc.
5) Self discipline. You will feel slight hunger thus you must fight that cravings. This normally happens only during the start of dieting period. If need be, eat fruits instead of snacks.

Keeping Fit All Time

Health is wealth. Everyone heard about this. But how many of us really mean it. What did you eat this morning, afternoon? What did you have for dinner?

Eating a healthy food is very important and a very essential part of our daily life. Exercise regularly to maintain your body in good shape. Prevention is always better than cure. For me, I always takes in royal jelly for my supplements. It helps to maintain my daily requirements intake of nutrients for my body. The benefits of royal jelly have long been disputed by many doctors by it has always been proven time and again by nutritional doctors in many medical journals.

Although there are many suppliers of royal jelly, honey and propolis, one must always check for quality of the bee products. Also make sure you know about the products before you purchase them. Get advice from your nutrionists or family doctors. Some people might be allergic to some bee products.

Good life with good health.
