Fat Loss For Dummies Part 2

FAT LOSS FOR DUMMIES PART 2

Everything Works but Nothing Works Forever

There you go again, walking in a straight line for hours on that treadmill. Dancing around on and off that step in your “power” aerobics class? How about that person riding that bike while talking on your cell phone? I can’t leave out those people pumping away with endless amounts of repetitions with those ever so popular pink dumbbells… Why is it that you see the same people with the same bodies year after year? It’s because people have been doing the same old thing for far too long and nothing works forever! How many more crunches and aerobic classes do you have to do to finally get some results?
Let me ask you a question. Do you remember your first cup of coffee? Remember how it got you all wired? Over time that first cup just didn’t give you the same type of effect that the first one did, so what did you have to do? You needed to drink 2 cups, right? So in order for you to get the same affect that you used to, one of two things must occur, either you increase the total amount of coffee or you increase the strength. What about the first alcoholic beverage you had back in college? Remember how it didn’t take much to get you that “buzz” that you might have been seeking? Fast forward to your senior year or even right now and you’ll see that your tolerance for alcohol has some what improved… In order to get the same effect one of two things must occur, either you increase the total amount of alcohol or you pick a stronger drink.

The Lost Art of Intensity…

I’ve been saying for years that fat people finish marathons all the time. What people need to realize is that it’s not about the distance covered it’s about how FAST or INTENSE the distance was covered. I wish people would get this through there heads when January comes and they embark on the magic “run for weight-loss” kick. People see the Kenyan crossing the Boston Marathon finish line and actually believe that running made him/her skinny… The fact of the matter is that the Kenyan’s body type had more to do with the selection of that runner’s mother and father than running 26.2 miles ever did. Some people are “built” for running long distances and some people are not… On average most people are not! You may ask why?

ARE PARENTS DOING MORE HARM THAN GOOD WHEN IT COMES TO FEEDING THERE CHILDREN?

Is a calorie a calorie?

Let me break the “Calorie” thing down a little further just so I don’t confuse the parents I’m trying to target… Is Brown Rice better than White Rice? Absolutely! Are Sweet Potatoes better than White Potatoes? Absolutely! Is Brown Rice and Sweet Potatoes better than Pizza or Mac and Cheese? Absolutely!

Why are American’s so Sick?

Why are Americans so Sick?

Why do we have the highest rates of degenerative disease than any industrialized country? If we have the best Health Care System in the world, than why are we so damn UN-healthy? Could it be that “healthy eating” is making us sick? There are many reasons why we as Americans, the most industrialized nation in the world are so un-healthy but the main reason could simply be that we are well, INDUSTRIALIZED? This isn’t necessarily a bad thing right? I mean, I don’t think you would enjoy performing hard labor everyday as people did in 18th and early 19th century. Americans have always taken the path of least resistance… By becoming more industrialized we have become more technological. By becoming more technological we have been able to get more work done in a shorter amount of time with out expending too much energy. Try working for 8-12 hours a day standing up? It’s not a coincidence that we are almost always sitting down to work…

“Smart Choices” Food Labeling Fraud

(NaturalNews) The big food companies have dreamed up yet another clever con to sell processed junk foods to parents and children: A “Smart Choices” label that implies the food product is a smart choice for health and nutrition. The problem is that the standards for qualifying for this designation were set by the food companies themselves, and processed junk foods like Froot Loops (a sugary breakfast cereal) qualify.
