Weight Loss Success Story From Mary

Filed under: Weight Loss Success Stories — @ 7:05 am on December 27, 2005

Here’s the success story that I got from Mary. Mary lost 20 lbs in 1 month!

“Your Fool Proof diet is the easiest diet I have ever been on.

I have lost 20 lbs in last month. I was amazed! I have never lost that much on any other diet I have ever been on and believe me I have tried them all.

This was just the best diet for me - it was easy to follow and stay on, it was like not even being on a diet. Even my husband would say “I thought you were on a diet - how can you eat that?”

It was easy to cook for both of us because I could have foods that were everyday things and not diet foods per say that he would not eat. So, I was not cooking two different meals every night. Some of the meals I would cook for both of us and he would not even know it was from the diet I was on, he loved it. I think he lost a few pounds too! All I can say is thank you so much.

Thank you,

Eating Soup Can Help You Lose Weight

Filed under: Diet Tips — @ 12:12 pm on December 22, 2005

Eating soup can help you lose weight because soups are pretty filling (even when they are low in calories). Especially vegetable soups - vegetables add bulk without adding calories (just don’t add the cream).

The soup will take up space in your stomach, not leaving much room for other (more fattening) stuff.

Weight Loss Success Story From Bob

Filed under: Weight Loss Success Stories — @ 7:08 am on December 20, 2005

Here’s a weight loss success story that I received from Bob. Bob lost 20 lbs in 30 days!

“I purchased your Foolproof 30 Day Diet Plan one month ago and am thrilled with the new “me”. And the complements I’m getting don’t hurt either. My wife is enjoying hugging me in bed and tells me this was the man she married 36 years ago.

I went from 188 pounds, to 175 pounds in the first two weeks and have continued on down to a trim 168 pounds.

I had been stuck between 185 and 190 pounds for a long time and wanted to lose the flab around my middle. I haven’t looked so good in 20 years. I’ve enjoyed wearing clothes I thought I was going to have to give away - and treated myself to new clothes that look great. It’s nice not having that pot belly out in front anymore.

What I really liked about your 30 day plan was how easy it was to prepare the meals for myself. Your shopping lists were great! My wife is still working so with most meals on my own, I had fallen into a stale, repetitive pattern of eating, with frequent fast-food meals and restaurant dinners with my wife, but your meals were so effective at melting off that fat and so enjoyable that I actually saved a lot of money by making these simple meals for myself rather than wasting my money on fast-food. I’m hoping my wife will join me as I continue to keep my weight at a healthy level. She enjoyed trying some of the tasty meals for dinner with me instead of suggesting we eat out.

Not only do I look so much better, I feel better too, with lots more energy and no cravings for junk food.

Cheers! from one happy guy,

Heart Rate Monitors

Filed under: Exercise And Fitness — @ 5:27 pm on December 19, 2005

Some people enjoy using a heart rate monitor and find that it helps to motivate them, but you don’t need one. You can tell how fast your heart is beating just by paying attention to how you breathe. The only heart rate that you need to know is the training heart rate that makes your heart stronger. To strengthen your heart, you have to exercise vigorously enough to increase your heart rate at least 20 beats a minute beyond your resting heart rate.

Weight Loss Success Story From Annmarie

Filed under: Weight Loss Success Stories — @ 7:14 am on December 13, 2005

I often get a question on whether the Foolproof 30 Day Diet is only for obese people, or does it work for those who are just a little overweight. The answer is - no matter how much you weigh, it’s going to help you lose weight.

Here’s a success story from someone who only needed to lose a few pounds:

“I am one of those that didn’t need to lose a huge amount of weight - just 15 pounds. I started at 133 and I am down to 124 after following the Foolproof Diet for 30 days, for a 9 pound weight loss. I lost 5 1/2 inches from my body measurements.

Now I have to admit that it was not possible for me to follow the plan every meal. I often am invited out to lunch or dinner with friends and family and this normally happened 2 days a week. I know that if I had followed the plan to the letter I would have lost an additional 5 pounds or so. So I’m planning on following the plan for 2-3 more weeks to get to my goal weight of 117. I know it will work if I stick to it!

What I loved about this diet is the fact that I didn’t have to think or figure anything. I used the weekly shopping list and simply prepared the easy meals and recipes that were listed each day. It couldn’t have been easier. All leftovers were used up on another day, which meant some days I didn’t even have to cook.

I am very happy with this diet. It was easy, results were quick and the food was tasty.

Thank you,

Best Cardio Exercises

Filed under: Exercise And Fitness — @ 7:17 am on December 11, 2005

By Gary Gresham

The best cardio exercises are something you enjoy so you’ll stick to it to get the maximum benefits. You may be surprised at how quickly this form of physical activity becomes a habit you enjoy.

Exercise and cardiovascular fitness exercises are great for your health but the best cardio exercises get you to your ideal target heart rate as you exercise.

To test your heart rate while exercising place your thumb on the underside of your wrist to locate your pulse. Count the heart beats for fifteen seconds and multiply that number times four.

That number is your heart rate. To calculate your ideal target heart rate, subtract your age from two hundred and twenty.

Everyone has their own preference of exercise, but these exercises below will get you to your ideal target heart rate and are some of the best cardio exercises.

Walking As Exercise

Walking as exercise fits well into most lifestyles and is something anyone can do at any age. Start out walking at a medium pace and end up walking briskly so you can get to your ideal target heart rate.

Walk where you climb slight grades to increase resistance which will increase your heart rate. Not only will walking as exercise make you feel good it’s one of the best cardio exercises to do with a friend.

Bicycling Exercise

Bicycling exercise also offers no age barriers and people at almost any fitness level can enjoy it. The benefit of bicycling exercise is it builds your strength and agility.

Like walking, to get to your ideal target heart rate, find slight grades to ride on to increase resistance. Bicycling exercise is not only one of the best cardio exercises it’s not likely that you’ll ever get bored.

Swimming Pool Workout

A swimming pool workout is ideal for a full body exercise and cardiovascular fitness. Exercise in water is easy on the joints because the water supports you and water also provides a natural resistance.

To keep your workout balanced, swim laps using different strokes to vary the muscles you work. A swimming pool workout is one of the best cardio exercises because it gets you to your ideal target heart rate quickly.

Elliptical Exercise

Working out on an elliptical exerciser is one of the best cardio exercises available. Like a swimming pool workout, elliptical exercise is ideal for a full body exercise and cardiovascular fitness.

The motion of elliptical exercise feels very natural and compliments normal body movements making it feel like the workout is easier. Elliptical exercise creates a safe workout because it reduces the harmful stress and impact on your muscles and joints.

The duration of any cardiovascular fitness exercise should be a minimum of twenty minutes and up to sixty minutes. Test your heart rate while exercising and calculate your ideal target heart rate.

To get to your ideal target heart rate just adjust your speed or resistance. That way you get the highest possible benefit and the best cardio exercise possible.

Gene Determines Our Desire For Fatty Foods

Filed under: Weight Loss Facts, Weight Loss News — @ 7:52 am on December 9, 2005

Scientists discovered that there is a tongue receptor that can taste fat and make us crave it. It is controlled by the CD36 gene. According to the researcher Nada Abumrad, there is evidence that people have different amounts of that receptor, therefore some people tend to crave fatty foods more than others.

In the future, scientists might develop therapies that control the amounts and levels of the CD36 receptor, reducing the cravings for fat.
