Fast Track to Better Health-4 Easy Tips
Would you like to feel younger, look great, have more energy, confidence, enthusiasm, and zest for living? Well, you can do just that. It all begins with your decision to change.
Do these four things and your health, appearance, and energy level will rapidly improve.
Revamp your kitchen. What foods sabotage you daily, if not hourly? Well, grab a trash bag. Get rid of the sabotage foods right now. If you feel it is not right to waste food, realize this: Those trashcan foods will rapidly go to your waist, which is wasting your health. If you feel guilty about eliminating those empty calorie foods, donate the money they cost you to a shelter.
Shut the television off for a week! Yes, you heard me right. The prime reason you feel you do not have time to exercise has to do with your sedentary lifestyle. The average person watches 28 hours of television weekly. By turning the TV off, you will actually become restless. You will wonder what to do. Replace your unproductive poor-health promoting TV habit with exercise.
Weight yourself at the same time every day. It will stop you from suddenly gaining 10 pounds! If you are up more than a pound or two, cut back on your eating and exercise consistently.
Get a food journal and calorie counter book. Set a daily caloric goal. The average woman will lose 1-2 pounds weekly by eating between 1,200-1,500 calories daily. The average man will lose 2-3 pounds by eating between 1,800-2,100 calories daily. Track everything that you eat. Writing it down ends the selective memory.
You only live once. What are you waiting for? Do you want to look great, feel younger, and have more energy? Revamp your kitchen, shut off the TV, weigh yourself daily, and get a food journal. These steps will keep you on the fast track to better health.

Get In Great Shape - What It Really Takes!
Commercials bombard you with promises you can easily get in great shape. Supposedly those beautiful people used an ab machine for 10 minutes, three times a week and now, they look fabulous. Or, skimming past the checkout line, you notice magazine headlines: Eat what you love and lose. Walk your way to a trim you. Or, lose 30 pounds in 30 days.
It is time to be logical and realistic with yourself. How many thousands of meals did it take you to put on all those unwanted pounds? It took years of poor nutrition and exercise habits to get out of shape. The weight will not suddenly come off with some hyped-up product or 10 minutes of exercise!
Stop looking for weight loss shortcuts. Accept that getting in shape requires effort and knowledge.
The solution to achieving a fabulous physique requires excellent diet and physical activity lifestyle habits. Do not waste one more moment looking into those appealing diet pills, tummy crunchers, meal replacement bars, or fat burners.
There is a lot of bogus information. For example, it absolutely does not work to overeat every single weekend. You spend all week just burning off your weekend calories. Many people at the health club workout religiously yet they never lose weight simply because they overeat every single weekend.
You may falsely believe you can eat whatever you want because you exercise. That is wishful thinking. Working out is not enough to lose those unwanted pounds.
Weight loss requires a caloric deficit. Even if you exercise, you still need to count how many calories you consume daily. Is this popular advice? No! But, do you want popular advice or effective advice?
After two kids, at 42 years old, NO liposuction, NO gastric bypass surgery, just good old fashioned hard work and good nutrition, I'm fit. Try doing what is proven to be successful.
Getting in great shape requires knowledge, physical activity, plus good eating habits. Once you get the weight off, you need to continue your high level of physical activity plus eat well for the rest of your life.
Decide that you are seriously ready to work at weight loss. You are tired of being fat, depressed, discouraged, angry, and letting food and laziness control your entire life. Spend some time reading the articles on my website, http://www.losethelieslosetheweight.com/.
Learn from someone who understands the diet lies. When I believed the weight loss lies, I lost NO weight!
When you are seriously ready to change, get my book, Lose the Lies Lose the Weight. What are you waiting for? Fitness IS within your grasp. Take that first step!

To Lose Weight Quickly, Cut Your Eating in Half!
How many years have you spent looking for just the right diet book or exercise plan? How many times have you believed the lie that you just need to cut carbs or eat just the right foods and you will lose weight?
Weight loss is simple. To lose weight you must eat a lot less than you are currently eating.
I recently met a 62 year old woman who lost 70 pounds. Naturally, I asked her what she had done. She made one major change that was very, very easy to implement. She worked out and cut her eating in half.
This is easy to do. Whenever you eat out, restaurants serve at least twice as many calories as you need. Ask for half your meal to go in advance.
When you are preparing a sandwich, cut it in half, wrap it, and put half in the fridge. Think about the typical amount of food you would put on your plate, then serve yourself half that amount.
If you usually drink two glasses of wine, drink one, or switch to water or a diet soda.
To lose weight, you need to create a caloric deficit. This means your body needs to burn more calories than you take in daily. Many of you eat considerably more than you realize. To lose weight, you need to know exactly how many calories you eat daily.
Get a notebook and calorie counter book. Track your calories. Do not lie to yourself and pretend that you never overeat. Of course you do! That is why you are reading this blog. You are tired of being fat (just as I was) and you are ready to change.
The average woman will lose weight by eating 1,200-1,500 calories daily. The average man will lose weight by eating 1,800-2,100 calories daily.
Once you track your calories for a week, you will quickly find that you have been eating approximately double what you need to lose weight.
Tracking your calories may not be what you want to hear BUT IT WORKS! I have kept my weight off since March 1987. I know what works! In a future blog post, I will add some of my chubby pictures.
Get started on your fitness goal today. Get a notebook. Track your calories and cut your eating in half. Please email me at laurie@losethelieslosetheweight.com. I will look forward to hearing of your progress and providing fitness support.
