Dieting Tips to Loose Fat

I want to share with you my fast and easy tips you can use to have no fear when it comes to eating your favorite foods.

I wanted to make sure you didn't start to fall into the holiday weight gain slump this year... did you know the average holiday weight gain is between 6-10 lbs?

That's a lot of extra weight that you don't want to tack on top of the additional body fat you're already trying to burn off.

So here are a few tips you can use to prepare for the big feast that awaits you:

Try to front load your meal with a salad or fresh veggies to reduce your appetite when it comes to eating the heavy foods. If you can't do this, then at least eat slowly and wait a few minutes before courses so that your body has enough time to signal your brain that you're full... it typically takes 20 minutes, so take your time and put your fork down between bites!

If you can get in one of my 20-30 minute interval workout routines that morning before you start your day you will be able to better utilize all those calories and you will be far less likely to pack on body fat from the holiday feasts.

Don't go all day without eating in anticipation of filling your belly with pounds of ham, turkey, gravy, potatoes, pies, stuffing... it will only cause you to overeat and bloat your belly.

Desserts... what to do? It is the holidays and a time to enjoy yourself, but that doesn't mean you should set yourself back by eating a thousand calories worth of sweets. Instead, share a slice of your favorite pie with someone or opt for a bowl of fresh fruit. You'll feel more energetic and less "sluggish" if you don't set your body up to crash with all that sugar.

Make sure to enjoy all your favorite dishes, but only go for the ones you want the most first. You may find you get full after the first round.

Be Mindful of Portions

It is all about portion control. Train your stomach to not feel full. Full equals fat. Don't like the feeling of full. Instead go for slightly satisfied. This will allow you to enjoy the holidays without feeling deprived. 

You can eat what you want, just don't eat to much of it. You want to taste food, not devour it. Small servings throughout the day. Break it down to mini meals. Your body will burn those calories and you will coast through this holiday. You will slip into that outfit and it will feel great!

We are beginning a weight management series for the holiday. I will be posting twice per week to help you stay on track. The theme for the holiday is Thinking Thin. My goal for you is to twofold. First to coast through the holidays without weight gain. Second is far more important. To adapt the principles of Mind Over Platter and think like a naturally thin person. It takes changing your mind set. Each topic that I am sharing with you is intended to break your old pattern and replace it with something better! Look for my posts twice per week starting this week. 

Our first assignment is vital to your success. You must plan your meals. If you leave your food plan to chance you will be eating sugar all month long. There too many temptations surrounding you this month. If you need help planning your meals, visit Fatloss4Idiots website. Until then, take out a piece of paper and quickly outline what your typical food plan will look like. I eat the same thing daily because it's easy and it works!

Exercise and Appetite: A Weight Loss Tip

If you exercise more, you're going to eat more, right? Not so fast.

According to a new study, adding more exercise to your life will indeed rev up your pre-meal appetite. But here's the cool news: You may find yourself getting full faster, so you end up eating less.

Flex Your Appetite

When overweight men and women burned an extra 500 calories a day through exercise as part of a small study, some interesting things happened to their appetites. 

After 12 weeks of working out, participants said their before-breakfast hunger was greater than it had been prior to the study. 

But they agreed that the same breakfast felt more filling than it did before they had started exercising. And the group continued to feel quite satiated for several hours after eating. 

Sounds like a little extra exercise may be a great way to avoid snack attacks! (Follow these four simple breakfast rules for better weight loss.)

Exercise Effects

Researchers aren't sure why working out seemed to have opposing effects on appetite, but it's encouraging to think it might help us do a better job of telling ourselves when we're full. 

Of course, whether you run marathons or walk around the block, you still need to listen to your body and judge your hunger realistically. 

No matter how many calories you've burned, force yourself to eat slowly and stop shoveling when you feel about 80 percent full. 

That will give the last bit of food time to really hit your stomach. (Did you know? Certain types of exercise may be especially good at curbing overeating.)

A Surprising New Way to Burn Fat Quickly

I just finished reading an eye opening weight loss report on CNN. The reporter personally tested two of the best selling weight loss products in America and wrote an honest review. I was so shocked by the result of test after I finished reading the report because she revealed some of the hidden secrets in weight loss industry that the pubic will never know.

I strongly recommend you read the report because it will tell you how to really lose weight instead of losing your money on those products that won't work! Here is what the report says:

Health and Diet writer Karen Simpson recently put an emerging diet trend to the test. We had to see for ourselves what this diet was all about. Karen spent four weeks testing the effects of America's newest super-food combined with a Colon Lipo. The results were surprising.

The benefits of the Acai berry diet removed all of our initial skepticism. We found the diet not only helps with weight loss, but it seemed to boost energy levels according to Karen.

Washington, D.C (West Coast News) - Losing weight often feels like an impossible challenge. We have evaluated numerous fad diets over the years. All too frequently their results are just shy of painfully disappointing.

The reason for why most diets fail, in our opinion, is that they impose unrealistic restrictions on how you live your life. Some advocate eating tons of protein others emphasize carbohydrates. In either case, you're left with having to make rather drastic changes to the types of food you eat and when you eat it. In this special report, we take an in-depth look at an emerging and promising weight loss trend that we believe is a game changer, and it won't break the bank.

You may have heard of the enormously popular Acai berry in the news. It's a completely organic berry found deep in the Amazon rainforest of South America. Alone the Acai berry offers many benefits primarily due to its high anti-oxidant content. Combine it with a powerful Colon Lipor, and you've created a fat burning machine. If you're skeptical, you're not alone. When we first learned about this weight loss combo, our diet fad radar went off right away.

Nevertheless, as we began to investigate the countless success stories reported by people from all around the globe, we decided that this weight loss trend was worthy of a closer examination. Moreover, we found it of particular interest that these people had not significantly changed their current lifestyles.

Ella Regan from San Francisco, California was reported to have lost 46 pounds in 3 months while being on the Lean Spa and Colon Lipo combo diet.

In the story on her blog she states,
"I couldn't believe how easy it was. I didn't change my diet or my daily routine, but the fat melted off like it butter. I love this stuff! Finally a diet that just works."

For the West Coast News test, it was inevitable that I was to be the guinea pig for this diet since I was about to get married. I wanted to lose 10 pounds for my wedding. In order to try the Acai Berry and Colon Lipo diet, I ordered two products. First, I got a FREE TRIAL of Lean Spa. Although there are many Acai berry offers available, I chose Lean Spa, since they are one of the most credible and trustworthy suppliers on the market.

The Free Trial bottle of Lean Spa was delivered in a few days from ordering and with surprisingly inexpensive shipping. Lean Spa is one of the most concentrated and purest acai products on the market. It was our shared opinion that this would give me the most accurate results for my test.

Here is what Lean Spa claimed on their website:

•    4 Times More Weight Loss Than Diet and Exercise
•    Boosts Energy
•    Rich in Antioxidants
•    Promotes Cardiovascular and Digestive Health

Although we were pretty skeptical, we wanted to find out for ourselves if this product could actually do everything that it claimed. Most of the success stories talk about combining Acai berry with a colon cleansing products to achieve maximum weight loss. The idea behind combining the products is that while the Acai Berry encourages weight loss and increases energy; the Colon Lipo helps rid your body of toxins and allows your body to work and burn calories more efficiently. I chose Colon Lipo to test.

Here is what Colon Lipo claimed on their website:

•    Helps Eliminate Bad Toxins That Have Built Up Over the Years
•    Removes "Sludge"From the Walls of the Colon
•    Helps Get Rid of Gas and Bloating
•    Helps Regulate the Metabolism

The Colon Lipo product like Lean Spa offers a free trial backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Putting the Lean Spa and Colon Lipo to the Test

Both the Lean Spa and Colon Lipo arrived within 4 days of having placed my order online for the free trials.
The bottles I received contained a month worth of highly concentrated pills, which worked out perfectly as I was to follow the supplement routine for 4 weeks time and document my progress.

The Test: A Four-Week Combo Diet Using Lean Spa and Colon Lipo

1.    Take one Lean Spa pill per day (in the morning)
2.    Take one Colon Lipo pill per day (in the evening)

My Results:

Week One:

After one week on the diet using both products I was surprised at the dramatic results. My energy level was up, and I wasn't even hungry. A welcomed side effect of the Acai Berry diet is its power to curb the appetite.
I honestly felt fantastic.

Best of all, I didn't even change anything about my daily routine. On Day 7, I got on the scale and couldn't believe my eyes. I had lost 3.5 lbs. But I still wasn't convinced, since they say you lose a lot of water weight at the beginning of any diet. I wanted to wait and see the results in the upcoming weeks. But it sure was looking up! I now weighed less than 120 pounds for the first time in years!

Week Two:

After two weeks of using both supplements, I started the week off with even more energy, and actually sleeping more soundly than before. I was no longer waking up during the night and tossing and turning because my body was actually able to relax (this is a result of getting rid of the toxins, I think). Plus I still managed to lose another 7 pounds, putting me at an unbelievable 10.5 lbs of weight loss, in just 2 weeks.

I must admit that I am starting to believe that this diet is more than just a gimmick.

Week Three:

After 3 weeks, all my doubts and skepticism had absolutely vanished! I am down, 2 full dress sizes after losing another 3.5 pounds. And I still have a ton of energy. Quite often, around the third week of other diets, you tend to run out of steam. But with the Lean Spa and Colon Lipo diet my energy levels don't dip, instead they remain steady throughout the day. I no longer need that cat nap around 3pm in the afternoon! I am even noticing that my stomach is digesting food so much better. No bloating or embarrassing gas after I eat.

Week Four:

After the fourth week, my final results were shocking. I lost an unbelievable 18 lbs since starting the Lean Spa and Colon Lipo diet! Actually everyone at WestCoastNews is kicking themselves for not having volunteered to be the guinea pig. Using the Lean Spa and Colon Lipo in week 4 I lost 4 more pounds. The results are consistent! But to be honest, I really didn't have much more than that left to lose. I am definitely going to continue taking the Lean Spa afterwards because it has so many antioxidants and vitamins that makes my skin look unbelievable.
I couldn't be any happier with the results.

I Lost 18 lbs in 4 Weeks, No Special Diet, No Intense Exercise.
In conclusion, if you are a little doubtful about the effects of this diet, you need to try it for yourself; from our own test, the results are real. We at West Coast News had our doubts initially, but we were quickly turned into believers. After conducting our own study, we are pleased to see that people really are finding success with the diet.

You can reach your weight loss goals with the Lean Spa and Colon Lipo combo diet.
