The biggest weight loss hoax yet...

Cheating on your diet to get ahead on fat loss
Sometimes it seems like an endless road. Many people are so strict with their diet that they reach a point where they cannot take it any more, and end up bingeing on unsupportive foods. continue reading

Setting big audacious goals of weight loss
Instead, approach your weight loss as you would a multi-stage race, like the Tour de France. If you set a goal for yourself to lose 50 pounds, focus first on the initial 5 pounds you have to lose. continue reading

Strength training with more reps and a lighter weight for cuts and definition?
Increasing definition cannot be done effectively at lower levels of resistance. You need to load your muscles past a threshold point of resistance; in other words, you need to up the intensity!

Toss the scale- here's a better way of measuring fat loss
Scale weight can be a good way to measure progress, but it’s far from the best way.
For most people struggling with weight loss, stepping on the scale is nothing short of traumatic, so we’ve proposed a radical new approach to fat loss assessment.
Get rid of your scale.
That way, you will not have the temptation to check your weight too often (like several times a day) and the stigma associated with stepping continue reading

Have you built your "compulsion machine" of weight loss?
Most people have a hazy vision of what they’d like to accomplish.
They never sit down and figure out exactly what they want, and then make a map of exactly how they’re going to get there. They also don’t create compelling enough reasons for themselves to follow through on the diet when the going gets tough.
As I’ve said before, it’s always easy at first because you’ve got continue reading

The question of strength training for losing weight and getting toned
Many individuals on a fat loss program begin by cutting calories and adding in some form of aerobic exercise, stating that they will start lifting weights “when I get into shape for it”, if they start weight training at all!
By adopting this mindset, they have created the biggest possible roadblock to their success. When on a reduced calorie diet, your body will not continue reading

Common pitfall to weight loss: Performing (too much) cardio
For fat loss, all that is required is a proper diet that controls blood sugar, and strength training, to ensure that the body does not get rid of muscle along with fat.
While this approach works in most cases, for some individuals whose metabolisms are highly damaged from years of dietary abuse some additional activity may be necessary.
The standard approach of performing “30 minutes to an hour of cardio 4-5 days per week” will literally get you continue reading

Keep an eye on the “the little things” that prevent weight loss
The little things we do day in and day out are what make us or break us. The same is true for weight loss.
Here are some examples of how making small changes can dramatically affect fat loss...

Trying to lose weight too quickly?
Most people want weight loss (and they want it yesterday!).
Our bodies are incredibly efficient fat storage machines – a throwback to prehistoric times when food was scarce and the danger of

Avoid starvation mode! Eat your breakfast, melt flab...
For many people, breakfast is a difficult meal to eat on a consistent basis. Often times people even skip breakfast on purpose to lose weight quick.
However, breakfast is the worst meal to skip.
As suggested by its moniker, breakfast is preceded by a continue reading

Are you choosing to drink your calories instead of eating them?
This is a very common problem among dieters, due to the abundance of weight loss shakes, protein concoctions, and “healthy”, diet smoothies.
There are 2 factors to keep in mind when relying on these liquid meal replacements.
First, many of the liquid diet shakes on the market and all fruit smoothies have continue reading

The big fat loss snafu: Eliminating ALL carbs from the diet
Do not make the mistake of thinking low-carb means “no carb.”
After all, fruits and vegetables are carbohydrates, and we certainly do not want you eliminating those from your diet, as they are nutrient-dense, high in fiber, and continue reading

Water does more than quench your thirst- it boosts metabolism!
Most people fall far short of their body’s daily water requirements. Our bodies lose the equivalent of 10% of total body weight of water in everyday processes such as breathing and excretion.
Those seeking to lose fat have even greater water requirements.
When your body undergoes lipolysis (the process of burning fat), fat oxidation results in acidic byproducts. These acidic byproducts require continue reading

Quick- fix blunder: Skipping meals to lose weight faster
It is not uncommon for dieters (especially female dieters) to consume only one or two meals a day, thinking that the low caloric intake will accelerate their weight loss. What this will do is accelerate their muscle loss and decrease their metabolisms.
Here is your mantra: I will continue reading

If you don't snooze, you won't lose (weight)
One hormone you should be familiar with and seek to avoid is cortisol.
Cortisol is the main stress hormone in the body. One of the effects of high cortisol levels in the blood is inhibition of fat oxidation and increased fat storage around the midsection. continue reading

Choosing a system that is incompatible with your likes/dislikes
Many people choose a diet plan that they have no chance of staying on. They defeat themselves before they even start! Remember that even the best, most physiologically sound diet and exercise program is useless if you will be unable to follow it consistently.
Do not fall into the trap of thinking, “Well, I’ll just be good for the next twelve weeks or so, and then…” As soon as you get off of the program, you will regain the weight you lost continue reading

Eliminating processed foods for faster weight loss
This one should be plainly obvious. Processed foods (even diet foods) contain hundreds of chemicals, tons of salt, and (more than likely) trans-fatty acids. In other words, substances that wreak havoc and cause damage to the continue reading

It
seemed like a dieter’s god-send – all the foods you loved to eat,
without that nasty fat that was depositing itself in unattractive
formations on various parts of your body. If only it were all
true…
When
you’re in diet mode, you will naturally be eliminating or
restricting several or all of your favorite foods. This is very
rough psychologically. This is necessary in certain instances
if you are to shed pounds.
For
many people the hardest part of any fitness program is getting started.
Sometimes we place too much pressure on ourselves and rather than doing
something, no matter how small that might be, we end up doing nothing at all.
While
it is good to have Big Audacious Goals, setting a goal that is too
ambitious will only serve to frustrate and discourage you. 
Let’s
be clear about this: Strength training does one thing – it makes
your muscles stronger, more enduring, and defined. 
Weight
Watchers, Jenny Craig, Zone Delivery Service, and other diet systems
have one undeniable benefit to them – they define for the average
person how large an actual “serving” is. Knowing this simple
distinction can make the difference between losing 2 pounds in a
month or gaining 2 lbs. 
Realizing
the benefits of yoga can add a whole new dimension to your levels of
fitness and flexibility.
The
mainstream advice on dietary fat has been less is best; we now know
that this approach is incorrect. Dietary fat, far from being
an evil substance that will cause you to keel over from heart
disease, is an important component of a fat loss diet and is
necessary to maintain optimal health. 
Q:
I eat healthy, but I’m not really losing weight. Is there something
wrong with me?
